So, people seem to be divided on the subject of Lana Del Rey. I’ve gone on record as liking her and that hasn’t changed. But I fail to see how anyone could dislike this amazing reworking of her song “Video Games” into “Hunger Games”. It is hilarious and perfect in every way.
For the sake of comparison, the original:
Zooey Deschanel has been a popular topic recently, mostly due to her show New Girl. I have always been very comfortable being completely annoyed by her– the sundresses, the random pitching of syllables, restricting the chefs on Top Chef Masters to making vegan food. Yet, I can’t deny the perks of having Deschanel around. She’s ripe fodder for impersonators, I actually really dig her band She and Him, and damnit if I haven’t started to enjoy her sitcom (though I do think the guys are the actual scene stealers). So as a toast to the positives, I give you a Zooey parody, a Zooey song, and some Zooey clips.

The Midnight Beast is comprised of Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely, Ashley Horne, and awesomeness. Take a gander at their Youtube channel for the full monty, or watch some of my favorites below. I find them incredibly rewatchable. Random: I want reproductions of all of Stefan’s t-shirts, a birth certificate from Ashley to prove he is not Chace Crawford, and lastly, to see Dru as a mime in a black-and-white short film.
“Lez Be Friends” (Nicholas Hoult!)
“Ninjas”
“Friends for Never”
“Pizza in Ibiza”
Bonus: Tik Tok Ke&ha parody
