‘The Social Network’ trailer spawns Twitter and YouTube parodies

About a month ago, the new ‘long version’ of the trailer for ‘The Social Network’ came out. The film was written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher, and retells the origins of Facebook. The road to making Facebook what it is today was a bumpy one, and the trailer has tried to capture that.

The new trailer includes many of the same terse quotes we’ve been hearing in the teaser trailers — ”Is there anything that you need to tell me? — but with the footage to accompany them. As would be expected, the trailer is loaded with scenes of Jesse Eisenberg’s Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker, with appearances from the Winklevoss twins, Dustin Moskovitz, and more.

Within a couple weeks though, a ‘dramatic’ YouTube parody sprung up, copying the visual cues from ‘The Social Network’ as well as some of the more tense scenes. It has since racked up almost 270K views. Now, a funny Twitter trailer has been released as of yesterday, doing much the same. Both are embedded below, along with the original.

Can’t decide which is funniest though?
