Video: NY Times Weekender Parody

Finally someone has parodied the New York Times Weekender ad. You know the one ("It's like you get the Friday paper, and boom you're right into the weekend!"). Behold the all-star ensemble cast starring in Michael Showalter's version, created for the 92YTribeca. Spoiler: Mike Birbiglia's illiterate!

Here's a look at the real Weekender, in all its glorious multi-section splendor.

oh carlson, you post the douchiest stories.

Finally!

"I'm not one of those call now people."
"You should call now."

I hate that guy with all my soul.

No dude, the bitch that follows him with her grating "Call!". That singlehandedly put me off the Times for the last six months. I'd climb up their goddamn tower if it would kill off those voices once and for all.

wait, that's not paul rudd?

That is absolutely hilarious, and in honor of the funniest ad I've seen in a long time I am now going to start the weekend a day early.
