In Videos: Twilight...With Cheeseburgers

20090428-twilightcheeseburgers.jpg

This spoof trailer of vampire love story Twilight replaces human love interest Bella Swan with a cheeseburger while keeping most (if not all) of the movie's original dialogue. Result: it still works. Kind of. But now it's funnier! Watch the video after the jump.

Whoa, can be a total party killer and point out that replacing a woman with a hunk of meat – and having the trailer still sorta work – suggests something unsavory about the original material?

Also, wooo! Vampire cheeseburgers!

@KarynMC: Wellll I'm not a Twilight fanatic (although I did see the movie..because my mom likes it!), but to me the vampire is all like, "Uh, you smell and you taste really good because we're like soul mates, and I basically want to suck all your blood, but then that would kill you and I love you so I'll try not to do that. (But now you can live in fear that one day I won't be able to control myself. And then I will eat you.)"

You could replace the cheeseburger with a cupcake and I think it would still work. But cheeseburgers are funnier!

@KarynMC: Yeah, that was my thought. But I had to laugh at this.

This was hilarious!!!

I'll admit, I read and very much enjoyed the books...though I'm also very much aware of how cheesy they are. The movie was only cheesier, but what can I say? Sometimes I'm in the mood for something cheesy!

And now I want a cheeseburger...that will be my bit o' cheesiness for the day, I think.

this totally made my day!!

I just saw the movie about a month ago so it makes it even funnier. Funny shit

Haha, well I confess that reading the *summary* of the 4th book in the series horrified the feminist in me, and watching the movie did not make me much happier. And vampires are my favorite monsters - it takes a lot to make me dislike a corny vampire story!

I did think the video was funny, don't get me wrong. But I think the cupcake would have read a little differently, because women's bodies aren't commonly objectified in cupcake-terms, where meat is often highly sexualized (real men eat meat, women are pieces of meat, annoying commercials, etc).

So video=funny, Twilight=suck (in more ways than one).

holy CATS! yeah, i'd probably pay to see this.

LOL!!! its Serious Eats, but we shouldn't take this so seriously. this was funny!

This video>the movie>the book.
