Other than the funny commercials you see on ESPN, it’s not often that you’ll see a funny sports parody out there. I think that Jimmy Kimmel does a great job of making fun of sports and leveling down athletes to that of humans that can get made to look stupid like the rest of us, but not too many outlets parody sports all that well.
Enter Funny or Die and I think they’ve done a kick ass job in the last year or so. In particular there are five videos I’d like to share that I think are worth a look……
Kobe’s Post Game Meltdown
As long as Kobe Bryant is in the league this guy is going to have a pretty decent career of parodying him. The mannerisms are pretty awesome. I wish the Lakers could have gone further just so there’d be another parody.
Be Like Dirk
To tell you the truth I’m pretty surprised something wasn’t done sooner to this extent. Like “If I could be like Shaq,” or just about any other player after Jordan. Dirk was a fine selection though.
Rampage Jackson Is the Worst Bodyguard Ever
Butterflies! That was just pure awesome.
Kobe’s Unaired Playoff Commercial
Yet another Kobe one. But you have to admit it’s awesome.
Roddy Piper Fights Childhood Obesity
Anyone over the age of 30 can probably appreciate how awesome Piper is. That he even did something for Funny or Die kicks ass.
