Dawkins is fantastic. Thanks for sharing that. I'm always surprised how often the "sensitive-card" is pulled out by theists. I'm beginning to believe it's not sincere at all and more a diversion to merely slow anti-theists down... a hilarious thought is plunking these sensitive theists in a room with Christopher "Oh-cry-me-a-river" Hitchens.
Saw the Batman vid a week ago, had me in stitches. Unfortunately the two people I sent it to didn't find it that funny. I'm happy to know that I'm not insane...
Ebert: It is depressing to discover friends lack your sense of humor.
Too Funny!
I'll never, but out of sheer masochism, watch Twilight. CH's jabs at it, however, are gems. If you haven't seen it, this one is one of my recent favorites- Vampire Reunion.
Only the second half of the batman video is any funny. The first is the same, tired batman voice parody along with some dialogue that wants to be Judd Apatowish far too much.
The Twilight and Dawkins videos were great, though.
These were great! I actually think this parody of batman is funnier though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXDQrnoqSXo.
@Jason -- are you suggesting that somewhere in that clip Tyson revealed himself as a theist? He has elsewhere described himself as agnostic.
Funniest thing I've seen all week. Especially love the way the Batman actor overdoes the lip acting.
These are great and new to me. You've seen my blog, Roger.

I link to some of the best in new (and mostly disturbing) web humor.
I had seen the Dawkins before, but those other two videos are hilarious. As far as Dark Knight parodies, the first I saw after the movie was probably my favorite:

Production values aren't as good as the college humor one, and it goes on maybe a little too long, but I thought the concept was pretty funny.
@Jason - you are an idiot - the 'sensitivity' was about the difference between making a divisive statement, and at the same time calling people idiots, and enabling a transfer of thought and understanding to help spread the message.
What Tyson said was very insightful, and not a rebuke, Dawkins is pretentious, and really is just chasing the Atheist dollar - not very hard to do that - oh look people believe in God, lol, buy my book to make yourself feel better about not believing, or believing in Atheism.
He is the new breed of bible salesman. He basically has stolen his repertoire and packaged it up in nice marketing.
Oh, but as Tyson sees here, any criticism of such a person is a criticism of something much bigger - stupid.
Lame and not funny. The Twilight one is misogynistic.
This is one of my favourites

I happened to have found the videos hilarious. But I saw that one of the commenters called the Twilight parody "misogynistic". Which shows that comedy isn't universal. Politics, political correctness, and cultural sensibilities always get in the way.
The fems are everywhere, even when its not about them, they make it about them. If Jenna's not a femenist, she must be an over protective twilight fan girl, I can't decide which is worse.
Having voraciously read all of Dawkin's books cover to cover and seen many of his interviews and been absolutely riveted by his rhetoric, it is so gratifying to know that he has a great sense of humor.
I think that it makes him the ideal candidate to bring atheism to the forefront of popular culture.
