The 'Boys' Trailer Parodies HBO's 'Girls' to Spectacular Results
Jennifer Gosnell — July 30, 2012 — Pop Culture
The hilarious new 'Boys' Trailer takes a run at HBO's hit television series 'Girls.' Capturing the inane conversation that is spectacularly written by Lena Dunham, Boys is presented in a similar manner with parallel personalities to the girls' characters on Girls.
Girls, the comedy that premiered this Spring has been an Emmy favorite, nominated for multiple Emmy awards including Outstanding Comedy Series and three awards specifically for Dunham -- writing, directing and lead actress.
HBO's fictional Boys comedy would be of a similar vein -- twenty-somethings complaining about vain topics and useless chatter. Girls hit it big with people that can relate, be amused by the topics or are simply entertained by the ridiculousness of the characters. Boys does a great job parodying the hit series.
