'Bitman Begins' Plays on the Famous Charlie Bit Me Video
Michael Baxter — March 5, 2014 — Pop Culture
'Charlie Bit Me' is the embodiment of the term "viral video." Jimmy Kimmel uses the famous child-biting video and combines it with one of the more famous superhero franchises of the past few years.
While it is Jimmy Fallon who has been garnering a lot of attention recently for taking over the Tonight Show, Kimmel is still putting out hilarious skits. This parody of 'Charlie Bit Me' uses the Hemsworth brothers, Liam and Chris, and makes a Batman style parody of it. In the video Liam Hemsworth takes on the role of Charlie and Chris plays a finger-less older brother hell-bent on revenge.
The video is hilarious and features a lot of star power including the likes of Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep -- just for a bit of Oscar credibility.
