YouTube Video of the Day: Archie Comics Reimagined as Modern Teen Drama
Ever wonder what the wholesome kids of Riverdale High would be like if they lived in this modern, messed-up world of ours? Well, wonder no longer, as Cross Eyed Bear Comedy has created a parody trailer that tears the lid off of Archie comics and shows us all the sordid stories seething within.
The above video was made in response to the film industry’s tendency to remake TV and comic book classics.
According to the YouTube summary, “Riverdale was produced with the help of almost 100 Craigslist volunteers from the Vancouver film industry. We produced this and the 10 other comedic videos on a budget of $3,500 over a weekend. The Craigslist and random nature of this production brought the director and his girlfriend together. It also united the executive producer’s wife with her long-lost friend/boyfriend when she recognized him playing the character of Moose.”
See, I told you that our new YouTube Video of the Day series would not be solely composed of vids featuring adorable children.
Happy Friday!
