World Cup Biting Spoofs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Parody Mixes the World Cup Luis Suarez Bite with Charlie Bit Me

— June 26, 2014 — Marketing
The World Cup Luis Suárez bite was a big deal that occurred during the 2014 Brazil World Cup match between Uruguay and Italy and like all things that make headlines, it doesn't take long before they collide with a popular Internet meme.

In this case, the Line Animation Studio quickly put out a video that spoofs Luis Suárez biting Giorgio Chiellini with the 2007 classic 'Charlie Bit My Finger.' In the funny video, the biting baby is replaced with the head of Suárez, who grins cheekily throughout the course of the video with the child's teeth between his fingers. Although the expressions on the face of Suárez remain pretty much the same throughout the video, the few changes in facial expressions he makes are hilarious.
