Comedy troupe and viral video creation specialists Half Day Today were back at it again last week with a hilariously funny parody video. The target: Buzzfeed.
In their video the “Wolf of Buzzfeed”, the Half Day crew parodies both the Wolf of Wallstreet and internet phenomena Buzzfeed and it’s founder Jonah Peretti. The 2 minute video blasts buzzfeed for creating obnoxious lists that get everyone to click. They point out that Buzzfeed preys on the people of Facebook to quickly share their content because it’s amazingly relatable.
Brad Woolf plays Jonah Hills character in Wolf of Wallstreet while Matthew Broussard plays Jonah Peretti the creator of Buzzfeed. Just watch it below.
