I admit it: I'm a complete pushover for slapstick humor. And today's meme on Twitter, #unseenprequels*, has me in stitches. The idea: take a movie and slightly alter the title to come up with its prequel, which no one would have ever, ever paid to see. Hilarity ensues.

My favorites, in no particular order:

  • @Bryce1984 The Lambs That Wouldn't Shut Up #unseenprequels
  • @jchinchar #unseenprequels Some Like It Tepid
  • @matthasarms: Apocalypse Soon. #unseenprequels
  • @steviedunn: The Day the Earth Continued Spinning #unseenprequels
  • @PCTim: #unseenprequels The OK, The not so OK, and the unattractive
  • @blogdiva: #unseenprequels Second-Base and The City
  • @Alcudiabarfly: #unseenprequels dry-spell in the city
  • @stealyourself: Madamoiselle Bovary #UnseenPrequels
  • @lizzwinstead: The 5k run/walk Man #unseenprequels
  • @jnjoiner: Thursday #unseenprequels
  • @LParry: Shaun of the feeling peaky. #unseenprequels
  • @KagroX: Still Plenty of Mohicans #unseenprequels
  • @drywall: A Bunch of Mohicans #unseenprequels
  • @RedGray: #unseenprequels Raiders of the Misplaced Ark

  • UPDATE: via many others, this one clearly wins: @KagroX: Groundhog Day #unseenprequels

UPDATE: More fun titles are posted over at Ben Byrne's blog!

* Wondering what the deal with the # is? That's the marker for a "hashtag" on Twitter. It's how Twitter users easily add or denote a keyword, allowing everyone else to either find or refer to a topic easily. Search for all #unseenprequel tweets!
