First, watch the video.

Now, how long before you realized it was parody?

    Realized it before it even started. The Onion News Network? The Onion only does parody, so that was a dead giveaway. If it weren't framed that way, it might have taken me a bit longer :)

    Queen Elizabeth as a QILF helped me out, but honestly, I clicked play before I saw it. Sarah Silverman was enough to know.

    It's pretty funny, but it's hard to parody that kind of thing – they're not too far from that already. Have you ever watched Greta or Nancy Grace?

    I kept expecting the girl to walk in saying "Hi, Mom and Dad", and reminding them that she told them she was going to sleep over at Jenny's last night.

    Watch it again, but read the ticker at the bottom, it's pretty damn funny.
