Viral Video Round-Up: Fake B-Movie Trailers, Black Swan, Aliens, Wrath of Khan, Super Bowl and Oscars Dan Koelsch, February 6, 2011February 6, 2011 Sometimes we get flooded with viral videos, and not all of them necessarily need their own post, or sometimes we just don’t have time). That’s when our Viral Video Round-Up comes in handy. See a handful of recent videos after the break! Michael S. Deak has made several pretty impressive fake B-Movie Trailers, two of which are below.

The Huffington Post listed the funniest 2011 Oscar parodies, some of which we have already featured. However, I really like the 127 Hours parody below. If you have a cool, funny, or poignant video, let us know in the comments below or through our Contact Page. We may feature it in our next Viral Video Round-Up!
