This post is meant for a very particular group: the boyfriends of Twilight fans. You guys are a special class of men. You’ve put up with months of preparatory squealing and sighing over Taylor Lautner’s abs and Robert Pattinson’s…OK, maybe you’re not sure what exactly she sees in that guy. But finally the time has come for the special lady in your life to remind you that she went and saw Transformers 2 with you opening weekend and thus you totally owe her one night at the movies, her choice.
But perhaps, as you sit watching the poorly reviewed second installment in a franchise that many consider to be an extended metaphor for abstinence and/or the Mormon faith, you find that you just need a short break from the pouting and melodrama and werewolves. And that’s why this post is here: to give you something to watch in the bathroom, on your smartphone, before you reluctantly return to the darkened theater.
From Babelgum Comedy and Landline TV comes a scenario arguably much more dramatic than a papercut-induced breakup: Edward reveals that there’s more to the vampire curse than Bella knew.College Humor has also dove in with a parody that incorporates both New Moon and the Internet’s favorite t-shirt.
And the cast of Saturday Night Live tried their hands at this when Taylor Swift hosted the show two weeks ago, recasting the original film with a different Hollywood monster.
So return now to the movie in progress, boyfriends of Twilight fans, having hopefully laughed out your pain. And just remember this — now SHE owes YOU.
