You gotta be f'in kidding me.
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I just don't find spoofs or clones of comedy funny. Maybe if I hadn't seen Office Space I would've enjoyed it more.

But the whole point of parody's is that you've seen the original!!!

You dislike an entire genre of comedy (parody)? You are an original.
 
I hate IGN (For a lot of personal reasons) and I've cancelled my subscription (or actually just turned off the auto renew), but I have to admit that was pretty well done. The short amount of acting in it was terrible, but they nailed the scene.
 
It totally amazes me that people out there actually pay for website access from IGN.

You get high res trailers at gametrailers.com

You get better editorial just about anywhere

What the hell would I wan't with an Insider membership?

I'm not trolling...seriously somebody tell wtf is the point?

The messageboards. I think that's seriously where about 50 percent of their Insider revenue comes from. The site doesn't offer anything substantial that you can't get for free elsewhere, and in a lot of ways, it flat out loses to the free sites.

The messageboards *used* to be top notch. They've gone down the drains lately, so I find myself perusing these boards more often. That, and I got banned for a month for making a joke about statuatory rape that IGN apparently didn't find as funny as I did.

I said I dislike parodies of jokes. They remove the funny that was in the original. Besides, the Office Space scene is a parody in itself. A parody of a parody is not entertaining.
