Teaser trailers hyping The Social Network, the upcoming movie about Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, skip live-action scenes in favor of in-your-face text banter crafted by dialogue whiz Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men).
That approach triggered a quick-and-dirty lampoon by Australian TV comedian Dan Ilic. "When I saw the original trailers I thought, 'This would be really easy to take piss out of,'" Ilic told Wired.com in an e-mail.
Ilic, in New York while his Hungry Beast show is on hiatus, said it took him "about four hours of mucking around last night to slap together [parody video, 'The Social Network Teaser 3 (Spoof)']. I love Sorkin. It's more of a homage to the creators than anything."
Compare and contrast Ilec's spoof, embedded above, with the real thing, embedded below.
The Social Network, by director David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club), hits theaters in October.
