Today's Photoshop Phriday is Celebrity mutants, a balanant, and probly admitted rip off of If They Mated. Some of them are pretty good though.

Hello wayfaring readers, this week we're doing something special: completely ripping off a famous comedy bit. I say that now without the slightest bit of guilt, but see if that stops a dozen alert readers from letting me now this concept is actually from a TV show! The Something Awful Forum Goons decided to try their hands at Conan O'Brien's famous "If They Mated" bit where Photoshopping and malicious intent come together to create hideous mutant amalgamations of celebrities. It's a crazy enough concept to work, especially since somebody else has been doing it for about a decade! But see if that stops us!

I have three very important questions about today's priday.
1. Who are the tongue-baring woman and the bald dude that are combined on page 7?
2. Why does combining Brad Pitt with Jennifer Aniston make him look less like a woman?
3. And finally, why is this so much more awesome when Conan does it?

Dunno about 1 and 2, but the answer to 3 should be obvious: because Conan is just that damn better than SA.com.

This sounds interesting. Can somebody (preferable someone with no stars and a low post count) make a post direct linking one of the images so we can all see it in the thread itself.

I posted that 5 minutes before I had to leave for school, and I rarely read that part, thats why I said probly admitted, because I was pretty sure they said that they were ripping off If they mated.

Very few of the combinations were on the If They Mated level. A lot of them didn't make them outrageous enough, or they just used poor source pictures. ITM tends to make the creations horrifically ugly, but most of the PP ones were merely...unattractive.
