"Mandela Is Dead" - Dead Parrot Brings Cringeworthy Youtube ConversationsTo Life

Prepare to face palm, and prepare to do so rather hard. The folks at the relatively new comedy group Dead Parrot have taken to reenacting some of the most cringe inducing Youtube conversations on various topics, but this one regarding the passsing of Nelson Mandela just takes the cake.

Using some really good, theatrically trained actors taking the roles of two Youtube users, we witness a seriously clueless man slowly coming to the realization that Nelson Mandela isn't actually Morgan Freeman. Props to Dead Parrot for taking the time to dig through the morass of Youtube comments to find comedy gold like this.

The cringe is strong with this one. This short tells us the story of a couple who head to a dinner at the home of a "cool" couple they met through their kids' school. Much to their surprise, the dinner also includes another even "cooler" couple.

It's just one of those bad social situations that most people would probably just want to run from ("Ohhh, I think I have a stomach bug, better go!").  While a bit over-the-top at times, for dramatic effect, overall this short captures that awkward feeling that comes from people who just don't click forced into a social situation. Plus, there's the good ol' awkwardness standby, obvious envy.

Hatsune Miku Teams With Domino's For Something Incredibly Awkward

I can't . . . I really can't handle this. I don't think I've ever stumbled upon something nearly as awkward as this. If you're not familiar with Hatsune Miku, don't worry because this video explains it all. All you need to know is that pizza and Japanese vocaloids make sense, especially when you're trying to market towards a Japanese audience. Really, I had difficulties getting past two minutes, but it gets so much worse.

Awkwardness aside, the alternate reality feature towards the end of the video is a really neat marketing gimmick that I wouldn't mind purchasing a pizza for. And as a bonus, the parodies are already here.
