You can’t escape the trailer. There’s a lot of money riding on the success of the big-screen adaptation of Yogi Bear. Given the presence of big-name stars doing the voices of Yogi Bear (Dan Ackroyd) and Boo Boo Bear (Justin Timberlake), it’s not surprising that the trailer will be everywhere this holiday season. Fortunately, this omnipresence has inspired the proper response from YouTubers. The Yogi Bear trailer has been recut and re-released as The Assassination of Yogi Bear by the Coward Boo Boo, a take off of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It’s wicked brilliant!
This is a genius recut by Edmund Earle, and it’s kind of the ending I wish the movie really had. Granted, I don’t want to see Yogi Bear made into a big, dumb movie such as this one, as I love the original cartoon, but if they have to make it into a movie, I want them to make it into a critically-acclaimed western, not a critically-panned kid movie. On the plus side, this is also way better than the inevitable Brokeback Mountain redux! What an epic, epic fake ending.
