LAND OF THE LOST "season 3" spoof

EvilOlive3000 Studios, the same Youtube mad geniuses who posted that Watchmen burlesque tribute I shared with you earlier, have also gifted the world with a Land of the Lost parody that's approximately 9 gazillion percent more amusing than the Will Ferrell atrocity that's currently dying a well-deserved death at the box office. (Click the image at left to buy the original series on DVD.)

So, why do I love this crude, cruddy-looking spoof when I despise everything about the big budget, Hollywood one? Well, my reasons are threefold.

1) While they both rip on the original series something fierce, the EvilOlive3000 version is made by people who clearly adore the old show. You can tell they have watched and re-watched every single episode and they have an unhealthy obsession with the original series. I can relate.

2) It's actually funny. Sure, humor is subjective, but... The Will Ferrell movie is just crude and awful and depressing, while this thing is crude and awful and awesome.

3) The Doctor Who crossover. (More specifically, the Tom Baker Doctor Who crossover.) It's a parody of fan-fiction that's just as geeked about the idea of the Doctor visiting the Land of the Lost as you are.

3.5) (I know I said my reasons were threefold, but I thought of another half a reason.) The part at the end where all of those other geek icons show up for no reason at all. At that point it stops being a parody and briefly becomes a bunch of adults playing dress-up.

Here's part one:
