Surfing around the video sites, I came across some great American Idol parodies. Here are my top 5!

5. Justin Timberlake trying out for American Idol on MadTV.

4. Saturday Night Live. Each actor gets their own contestant intro, but then they do a skit with Weekend Update that’s quite funny.

3. Since We’ve Been On. MadTV skit that makes fun of quite a few Idols. The most original I think.

2. Kelly Clarkson on Reba trying to be a weather woman and getting judged by the cast playing Simon, Paula and Randy of course.

1. The Simpsons animated sketch where they judge Simon. Homer is Simon, Marge is Randy, Lisa is Paula and Bart as Ryan. Awesome!

American Idol should be quite easy to make fun of. People do it every day and a movie paridoy of the TV show shouldn’t be that hard to do. However, it was horrible.

The plot was similar. A singing competition that paired interesting people against each other, a rude judge and it was the the #1 show on TV. The downside was that there were a bunch of sub-plots and a creepy love story. The singing competition was actually a very small part of the movie and the ending was weird and stupid.

If I were you, I’d avoid it at all costs. It’s not worth the rent or the time you take to watch it. Probably the best part of the move was the American Dreamz song and that isn’t saying much.

American Dreamz stars Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore, Willem Dafoe, Chris Klein.
