Virtually every popular mainstream movie or TV show will have its title and rudimentary elements of its plot morphed into an adult video. This fact of adult entertainment is even more certain than death and taxes. The adult entertainment industry really only has one product to sell. Obviously, there’s no need to specify what that is. Naturally this makes things very competitive with each production company looking for an edge in the marketplace. The gay adult industry has its members constantly trying to make a name for themselves, while the straight industry is always trying to find a specific niche to squeeze into. So much like Hollywood itself, the adult entertainment industry is now exploiting that which is already successful by creating adult funny videos based on your favorite sitcoms.

There are entire web sites dedicated to listing actual adult film rip offs of popular media. It’s also a common game to take normal media titles and see how many adult titles they can be twisted into. Most of the times the only parody is the title. Curiously, the current hot trend in the adult industry is for high-budget, well-made parodies (well, higher-budget and better-made, anyway) that re-create what they’re spoofing with careful attention to detail… But which reject parody titles in favor of just taking the original title and sticking ‘Not’ in front of it or ‘a parody’ afterwards.

But now comes the advent of REAL adult funny videos that parody real sitcoms. Yes, we all knew it would come to this. In the darkest recesses of the Internet, people have been writing slash-fiction for years — fantasies of what fans wished would happen between Sam and Frodo, Willow and Tara, and yes, even Kirk and Spock. A quick search for slash fic will give you more info on the hobby than you probably ever needed or wanted to know.

Of course, the adult industry picked up on this trend, offering up plenty of adult film parody take-offs of franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, and the tongue-in-cheek horror-adult take on Re-Animator. Local NYC “cinema of transgression” filmmaker Nick Zedd even made a film that took its name from Lord of the Rings, in a play on words that I’m sure you can decipher or Google for your edification. Let’s not even discuss the adult parody of Edward Scissorhands.

So now there’s not only a sparkly Twilight adult toy, but two Twilight naughty knock-offs. First there was Twilight of Virgnity (shot in the home of Nikki Sixx!), and now there’s a new one called This Isn’t Twilight: The Parody coming your way October 15th, just over a month before Twilight: New Moon is unleashed on audiences. The real question is who are these marketed to? Even the grown-ups who enjoy the Twilight franchise say that the fun is because of the way it portrays high school crushes — yearning, unconsummated, and most certainly virginal, especially in the case of this explicit material-phobic book series. Will an adult parody of Twilight and this advent of adult funny videos really work?
