Something Awful ripped off Conan O'Brian.
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!

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
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.Demiurge wrote:I have three very important questions about today's priday.

Re: Something Awful ripped off Conan O'Brian.
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.Sea Skimmer wrote:Really?

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.
