Īnother Defamer post, in March 2006, declared the Brokeback parody trailer fad to be 'over,' stating that once an internet meme had been covered in the New York Times (in the aforementioned article with Virginia Heffernan) it was officially dead. Such clips can be interpreted as innuendos. Al Pacino has shot Robert De Niro but he still holds his hand as he watches him die, as a show of respect and honor among those two men.

MTV.com even published an interview with the creators of the original Brokeback to the Future trailer, and with parody-trailer creator Tian Tang, a movie buff who created Brokeback parodies for the movies Rush Hour and Heat. Many more links to Brokeback parodies of Lost can be found on the Lostpedia wiki. Kumala then emails a link to Brokeback Island to J. It quotes Holloway's wife Yessika Kumala as telling him, 'You've made it, honey. The Details Magazine article is an interview with actor Josh Holloway. On her Youtube profile page, she notes that her vid was also mentioned in The Washington Post and Details Magazine. The creator of Brokeback Island was Molly, aka crazymol4588. The producers of Lost have just clued PopWatch in to Brokeback Island, voted by the series' producers, cast and crew as their favorite of the many Brokeback-Lost spoofs they've seen in recent weeks. In a PopWatch blog post from March 2006, the blogger reported:

Nearly every popular tv show and movie was mashed up with Brokeback Mountain at some point, and many parody trailers were linked on pop culture sites like Defamer or Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog. Many Brokeback parody trailer creators were male, and many created their parody trailers as viral advertising, such as for a comedy website. Several Brokeback Mountain parody trailers were made by slash vidders from media fandom, such as the G'Kar/Londo Babylon 5 version, Brokeback Babylon, by Mayanvideos, but many more were made by amateur video editors from outside media fandom, who were presumably unfamiliar with constructed reality techniques as used in songvids by media fandom vidders. One version of this trailer was viewed almost four million times on YouTube. It was created by members of the Chocolate Cake City comedy troupe. The original, and arguably most popular, Brokeback trailer was 'Brokeback to the Future,' a mashup of Brokeback Mountain and the Back to the Future movies.

It works almost every time: a gay movie seems to emerge when scenes between male leads, or a male lead and a supporting actor, are slowed down, set to make-out music and bumpered by portentous cards that say things like, 'A truth they couldn't deny.' The parodies typically use Gustavo Santaolalla's sexy, mournful theme from 'Brokeback Mountain,' together with the title cards from that movie's trailer, to reframe clips from another movie. Virginia Heffernan, a critic for the New York Times, described the typical Brokeback parody trailer as follows: However, they mainly consisted of using alternate background music and out-of-context dialogue to make a certain movie appear as if it were in a completely different genre, for instance, Mary Poppins as a horror movie or Scarface as a romantic comedy.īrokeback Mountain parody trailers took the concept a step further, creating a new type of vid, essentially a fusion in which characters from different movies and TV shows were re-cast as the main characters of Brokeback Mountain. Re-cut trailers had existed before Brokeback Mountain. It could be argued that the constructed reality genre of vidding went viral (although not under that name) sometime after the release of Brokeback Mountain in 2005, with the explosion of Brokeback Mountain parody trailers on YouTube and other streaming video sites.
