When Katniss said "They made four movies , you just needed three" I was like " She has a point lol"

[@jklhjkhjl]

+One of your fans i said the same shit all this peeta crap just fuck off by the end it will be a whole movie of katniss just saying peeta

[@jinoksav2031]

but if part 1 and 2 would've been it would have been over 4 hours long.. and it's same with potter and twilight i prefer two parts than one movie which length is like 4 hours

[@jinoksav2031]

just saying

[@haleyperreault9075]

I think the same as you on that

[@screaming_currently4442]

So true

[@mr.robotsoldhat8452]

“I’m Lorde. I’m bored” Sounds like me when I’m making up random songs while I’m bored tbh

[@dennislundholmjr2791]

I also can't sing

[@lemon-zf3eo]

I LOST IT AT THE PART WHERE THEY ADDED THE DISCO AND THE AIR HORNS

[@edwardcorrell9296]

I couldnt help but laugh when kim said "3...and a half" i dont even know why

[@GoUseSpellCheck]

That's rich coming from you L.

[@lemon-zf3eo]

Melania Roxy Yup

[@iamsuperserious5633]

RAVE!!!!

[@kaileewalden3586]

[@samconroyy]

This was really awesome, reminded me of your old parodies. Not to say the newer ones are bad!!! Are you, Are you, A defender of awesome?

[@kittycatgames3113]

Yes I am, I am XD I am a defender of awesome

[@camigottberg8728]

i know the old paradies were much better than these are now. but this one wasn't too bad. i think the old ones were more inapropiate which make them more funny?. i'm not sure but i think barely political is starting to make theier paradies good again!

[@Ikelae]

My thoughts exactly OP!

[@DeluxBass]

The enwer ones r shit. This one tho- da bomb!

[@sladewilson9406]

Honestly, this was my favourite parody. I like it even more than the Kesha and Eminem ones.

[@meloniez427]

I feel like Jennifer Lawrence would laugh at this

[@abigailjeffery2354]

She might

[@r.rookley4236]

I peed my self laughing when kimjungun came on

[@crunch1757]

OOF

BACK TO WORK

[@professionalcommentstealer5271]

Kim Jong un and President snow is perfect together :D

[@autumngreen6713]

True

[@demonbunny6555]

“Young adults run the economy” As a young adult I can definitely say that’s true

[@timreynolds4785]

It was true until Zoomies took over and millennials started entering middle age. Gen z lacks the numbers. It will be boomers (millennials) and Gen x (Gen Z) all over again.

[@tionellewilkinson3171]

[@GothBiDemiGirl]

"We are the closest thing you could call classy" SO TRUE!

[@ReallyPigeons]

+Lily Yacoub WOOOOW

[@GothBiDemiGirl]

+Lily Yacoub True

[@GothBiDemiGirl]

+Belliko 99 I think he was saying she still shows skin.

[@DrawWithRydi]

1:31 I love that even after 7 years this song has stuck with me. Whenever I'm waiting for a long time, this part immediately pops into my mind and I start singing "I'm Lorde, I'm bored and I also can't sing, but my producer fixes it for me". Never fails to amuse me 😂 I miss KOA!

[@katherinepedraza216]

That line is genius 😂

[@LeonMire]

0:49 "Here kids, have FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. Go buy yourself a popcorn."

[@dalekcaan6485]

That's movie food prices for you.

[@Hollyberrystreats]

....stand

[@mr_thumbs_up4701]

Pretty accurate honestly

[@McBenjiii]

"You don't show your ass" -"Not intentionally" xD Låleh. Kim Jong un nearly killed me... xD

[@LegionIvory]

This is a pointless parody. No one is complaining that there are four films or that Jennifer Lawrence sings The Hanging Tree. I for one am glad there are four films, because it means the story will be more fleshed out. Also the doubling of films came from Harry Potter, not Peter Jackson.

[@uriviper]

What story exactly? The hunger games 3 is maybe the worst book I have ever read story wise.

[@LegionIvory]

uriviper To each their own.

[@beccas5201]

Actually Harry Potter got stretched out because they would have to cut out some of the best and most important scenes or it would be too long

[@LegionIvory]

Rebecca Snider Actually, the origin of it all was that Goblet of Fire was planned to be two films, but the team felt it unfair to cater to this book out of the blue. However, when the seventh book came for adaption, the film team sought the opportunity to give the fans one fully fleshed out film, and the final film was most fitting.

[@beccas5201]

That's what I was saying

[@samkingdon3670]

Anybody else notice effie and haymitch

[@tamsin_melody7160]

yep

[@ondynefairy]

Caesar's jamming with them as well XD

[@corakowal5335]

Sam Kingdon yeah

[@hegugs]

"and I screwed give me a grammy"

[@connaeris8230]

I wish they were canon

[@katiezabel2110]

When they added Lorde I started to laugh. But she is actually quite talented and is my biggest role model.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Just because someone is talented doesn't mean it's wrong to make fun of them.

[@jeremysalkeld8742]

They did admit to that after the Royals parody.

[@whateverwhatever7210]

That girl looked just like Lorde to me!

[@jaqenart2653]

lol me too. i just laughed my fucking ass off lol cant stop loling lol

[@faithrichards8632]

Her part was really brilliant

[@AlanxMatt93]

Hilarious parody. Anyone else feel like Mockingjay needed 2 movies though? Theres a lotta stuff in that book.

[@pienutbutter..]

Yah I think it was a great idea to make 2 films. So much shit is going in on that book

[@krisdwooddeux]

I didn't think it did until I actually saw the movie and I thought it was a good decision. It's an annoying trend and I'd rather we didn't have 2 Breaking Dawn movies but stretching it out is better than trying to cram all the source material into 2 hours and running into one of the many problems Avatar the Last Airbender faced.

[@MrStrawberryPucca]

I agree. The only nad thing is the wait :/

[@d4m4s74]

I would have understood it if they didn't still skip multiple important parts.

[@jacksontzinberg4585]

No fuckin way

[@jasminemississo1796]

So I'm not the only one who thought of Lorde when I first heard the song :D

[@frogsarecool8321]

No I thought it was her singing instead of Jennifer Lawrence.

[@RennArmy]

lorde.. sang.. in the radio edit..

[@macaoron]

They're mainly parodying her theme song for the movie, Yellow Flicker Beat.

[@DDZEN14]

Lorde Is Randy Marsh, I Don't Know How People Keep Forgetting!?

[@seppoleonvervloet132]

ikr

[@lxurenmxlfoy7905]

IKRR

[@jklhjkhjl]

+Zach Nicholas no randy marsh is lorde

[@DDZEN14]

Same Thing Really LOL

[@jklhjkhjl]

Zach Nicholas exactly haha thats what randy wants you to think

[@heythenameiselliott2673]

Some people say she can't sing but personally my opinion is she is a great singer :) she isn't the best but I've heard a lot worse especially from actual singers who do it as a job and shouldn't

[@louthepotato4716]

Hey Chloe

[@TECfan1]

+Chloe Price Well she wasn't meant to be a popstar. It was just a scene from the film, she's a girl from district 12, just singing a folk song that her Dad taught her. And then people turned it into a pop sensation for some reason....

[@henrik2619]

Yeah, i'm sure it was in the book wasn't it?

[@reiriley1780]

Yah it was in the book

[@melaniekriner6081]

Chloe Price same

[@CheekyThrill]

Meh... I loved the books. If they split it into six parts, I would've gone to see all six. I'm an adult. So, guess that I just really loved it.

[@astrangeone]

The books were great. The movies, not so much.

[@Sofi-bm6xt]

I really love it to um reading the first book I'm in love with the movies

[@melaniekriner6081]

Twee Widdershins same

[@kotosqoposrly]

I am a male adult who happens to love Lord music's and The Hunger Games saga, but this was creative. And that is what I admire about parodies. Kudos!

[@anveshrao4245]

kotosqopos Lorde's Music LoL not Lord music's

[@kotosqoposrly]

Anvesh rao Oh dammit! Haha.

[@astridl.247]

[@sarahcollins8580]

When I was younger I thought at the end when they said "The key of Awesome." They were saying "Duckey of Awesome."

[@esmeraldarada4045]

Me too i just learned it yesteday 😮

[@dennislundholmjr2791]

I still sometimes think that's what it says

[@Agentshadling]

That's why they show a duck 🙄

[@allisonmurphy1139]

President Snow and Kim Jong Un (probably spelt that wrong) actually seem like they would be best friends for some reason

[@jordanegan8999]

The supreme leader Kim jong un would not associate himself with such an evil person as snow this is a fact and not something I'm writing because I'll get shot if I dont

[@jordanegan8999]

BTW that's a joke don't get all but hurt about it

[@timm5362]

now THIS is the Barely Political I subscribed to. Glad to see you going back to your roots. Hilarious video guys. Still miss the puppets though :D Keep it up.

[@louvenn6868]

This is amazing, what I subscibed to you guys

[@Lu-hu6wu]

'' -You don't show your ass - not intentionally '' HAHAHAHA I lose my shit

Lol lorde's seizure at 2:00

[@Cameron.Jewell]

Jayden Ocasio that's not funny I have sezuires every damn day so f u

[@Revoltnepres]

Jayden Ocasio So do I, and I loved when she did it. Don't get so mad, it's comedy.

[@jfizzle1688]

its not a real seizure it was a joke sheesh butthurt much

[@Revoltnepres]

Jayden Ocasio No, I was agreeing with you, that it's really funny and I wished mine were like that. To the one who said it isn't funny, frankly, it's opinion.

[@jfizzle1688]

Jessyka Amith I know I wasn't talking about you I was taking about the other guy

[@scc7469]

I didn't really like this at all... I'm a huge hunger games and jeniffer Lawrence fan and this is kinda rude.... Im not saying this to be smart or anything, but every other parody I watched that involves the hunger games makes me laugh and I think they are hilarious, and this one just seemed a little too... Ya'no offensive and mean. And I honestly think that Jens voice is beautiful. She didn't use any auto tune, and she sounds better than some artists... She even admitted that she wasnt a good singer. 

[@jugeoben]

Cry moar.

[@scc7469]

jugeoben​​​ that's not how u spell more 

[@hannatote]

You'r right !

[@scc7469]

Glad u think so haha!

[@patriciaclass1133]

You are so right.Its a very nice song and I think she sing good for an actress.How could they make fun of such a great song.

[@bandotaku]

Peter Jackson didn't start this trend, it was Harry Potter, but point stands.

[@jklhjkhjl]

+bandotaku harry potter needed that many films maybe not the last 2 being split up

[@bandotaku]

Right, I'm not saying it didn't, but they were the the ones to split a movie franchise like that in two parts. Then Twilight did it, Hunger games, and Peter Jackson. Which is weird, because Peter Jackson is one of the few directors that can effectively condense a book like The Fellowship of the Ring, into a stand alone movie, and its great. Let alone splitting an even shorter book into three parts.

[@jklhjkhjl]

***** ahhh i see what you mean very true

[@themeddlingmonk493]

But the thing is, they were originally going to have The Hobbit movies in two parts and then they stretched it into three. I think that's what they were talking about in the song.

[@bandotaku]

Gomer Pyle Perhaps, it just seemed like they were referring to the splitting of the movies in general.

[@abbiegordon670]

Was it really necessary to make fun on Lorde and Jennifer's voices? I mean that's just rude. There's nothing wrong with their voices in the slightest, they can both sing, and Jen's isn't "husky". You know it took Jen a lot of courage to do this. She wanted Lorde to sing for her, but she did it. I know I wouldn't be brave enough. I can barely get myself to sing alone or with friends for a laugh not even being serious about it, never mind on something like this! The making fun of the fans was extremely rude also. How else are the cast, crew, etc supposed to make their money? EXACTLY THE WAY YOU GUYS DO, TO ENTERTAIN, AND YOU CAN BE FINISHED AS EASILY AS A MOVIE FRANCHISE. TRY TO REMEMBER THAT. It doesn't make us naïve. This is what we enjoy and they aren't gonna do it for free are they? If we are then your subscribers are too. I'm sorry but the only thing about this I liked was the costumes. A lot of your videos are hilarious and amazing and I love your channel but if you're gonna be rude like this I'm sorry but I'll unsubscribe.

[@RegularKOFFICIAL]

Its called satire, they don't mean anything they say you fucking moron, and they like the authors of all the songs they parody. Grow up and get a sense of humour, you're wasting your time making points that aren't true.

[@abbiegordon670]

Well I don't find this funny at all and if you do then wow that is pathetic. I don't think that people making fun of others is not funny even if they make it into a song and that's just a fact that you can never change no matter how many times your sad and pathetic comments and your stupid icon show up in my notifications. So piss off.

[@ThirtySecondsToLive]

Gabrielle Rose Then why'd you click to watch a parody? Parodies by nature make fun of things...

[@abbiegordon670]

bc usually theyre funny I laugh at the others esp the cf one bc its true but this crosses the line I see it as insulting

[@RadicalKitty]

Gabrielle Rose 1) Lol you're soo butthurt there 2) Jennifer even said she couldn't sing at ALL 3) It's called a parody. Get over it 4) I like the Hunger Games and even I thought the fan thing was funny, therefore you can't take a joke about something you are possibly obsessed with. This is what parody's are always going to be, if you can't even stand them hurting your feelings, just watch Elmo or something. If you say I'm pathetic, for thinking this was funny, I'm just being myself, so you are being judgmental.

[@HarleyDiAngelo]

0:44-1:10 this is so true

[@jessicali8133]

tru dat

[@jul6761]

Well ...

[@HarleyDiAngelo]

Harbor Aranya I meant the part about the producers wanting our money and young adults running the economy

[@dariablackrose104]

DI ANGELO!

[@atomicspike1920]

Loved it! Though I have to point out that Harry Potter and Twilight did it first, not Peter Jackson. But I guess that would have been harder to state in song form, lol.

[@seekernomanjango]

Ah, but with Harry Potter it works and splits naturally PJs Hobbit is butter spread over waaaaaaaaaay too much bread so he bloated it and wrecked it. No comment on Twilight because I have neither read nor watched it.

[@zombieDRAGONsunset]

Erm LOTR anyone? that was before twilight.....

[@CraftyCicada]

zombieDRAGONsunset LOTR was always 3 books

[@triggerlucy]

That was 3 films based on 3 novels though. The Hobbit was 3 films based on 1 child's novel. I liked Mockinjay part 1 but saw a lot of editable material, The Hunger Games books barely qualify as novels they are so small, they did 't need to street it. Unlike Harry Potter, which could have done with a few more films overall.

[@MattSSPP]

Actually, LOTR was 3 films based on 6 books released in 3 volumes. They literally could have justified making LOTR 6 movies, one per book. (personally I think 3 was fine thank you)

[@laceystarsimpson]

'Cuz young adults,run the economy,' The economy in a nutshell.

[@Hydrosfer]

for ppl who know nothing about economy :DDD

[@sarp3554]

Does anyone know how they changed her voice at 1:39??

[@emilybeard4695]

That just added more music

[@sarp3554]

Lexi Nella No shit lol. I want to know exactly how they did it though.

[@LivforSun]

Rat Lover a wawa peddle (im just guessing)

[@christiankrueger221]

Rat Lover Auto tune? And some other stuff to even out the sound or something. That's my guess.

[@prestantiousunicorns750]

+Rat Lover It's a robot effect. You're welcome.

[@averylcobb6110]

I liked the parody, well done But I have to ask did any one else think it was really weird that this song is on iTunes when not only can Jennifer Lawrence barely sing, but the song is about people in Panem (more specifically district 12) commiting suiside

[@averylcobb6110]

Btw Anastasia sang very well in this

[@pienutbutter..]

the song is not about them committing suicide, it is actually about a man who has been hung who sings to his love to hang herself too, in the same tree, so they can be together. But yeah, the rebels sing it (not dis12 I think in this case,) so I guess they are singing it as a suicide song.

[@bonjaamigos9597]

ur dumb

[@RuffDuddie]

u are so wrong on so many levels

[@averylcobb6110]

To everyone who thinks I am making what I said up and that I am incorrect all I want you do is READ THE ORIGINAL TEXT from Mockingjay then you will see that the song is about two people killing them selves

[@patrickdwyerofficial]

...and Peter Jackson is now a verb. He asked for it.

[@gavinmahoney5402]

He truly did.

[@dylanchester6593]

I love the last part. bet pres snow on the xylophone?!

[@NGMonocrom]

'Bout time you brought back Kristen and Kristen. And how come Tom has been M.I.A. for awhile now??

[@Donnerflecht]

Wasn't he in the last parody?

[@NGMonocrom]

I've noticed a distinct lack of Tom in the Behind The Scenes episodes.

[@withpeacelove366]

kim jong-un was Tom's voice though!

[@withpeacelove366]

***** you are so right haha. duh brainfart

[@TheInanimateFightCartoonIsland]

He was busy flying like paper and getting high like planes.

[@shortforchange]

Kim Jong doesn't seem like that bad of a guy.

[@alexb1839]

Not in comedy, they make him look really adorable. I studied N.K. for a class project and he is honestly just as bad as Hitler. I'm not even exaggerating.

[@ksaed2497]

alex L. Maybe even worse. He's like a cross between Stalin and Hitler- every bit of controlling and loves to burn his country into the ground while he laughs at the ashes, eating swiss chocolatem

[@exh-hm2sm]

He's HORRIBLE!

[@fess1of9]

He's a nut

[@reallyeasy100]

Many people get their perception of Kim Jong from parody videos, which have a tendency to play him for laughs, and therefore make him look like a laughably inept joke of a dictator. The truth is that NK maintains friggen CONCENTRATION CAMPS for 'political prisoners' (aka absolutely anyone that the government doesn't like). I would recommend reading some of the horror stories that NK refugees have told about their time spent as prisoners in the country, except that I really don't want to be responsible for your nightmares.

[@pr1ncessnelle7]

You know that Jennifer Lawrence was really uncomfortable about singing this song, so saying that she can't sing and that she ripped you off and stuff is honestly so much crap. This is offensive and rude and you guys should really look into things before you insult people. I don't even care if people hate on me for this because I'm not changing my views about anything.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Repeat after me: It's just a parody. Jennifer Lawrence has millions of dollars and and legions of fans. I'm sure she can handle some good natured ribbing. If I was her, I would really enjoy parodies like these.

[@gamecks1539]

Why would I listen to a person acting like an adult yet liked "The Phineas and Ferb" theme song video. What you have to say now Terri?

[@pr1ncessnelle7]

PHINEAS AND FERB IS BOMB AF OK

[@nevillelongbottom7914]

I agree I feel kinda bad for Jennifer

[@brismiles]

when she says" We are the closes things you call ' classy'" I laughed my ass off.

[@screaming_currently4442]

Im on the bus so i cant

[@aymas3325]

I just noticed the reference between Kim Jong-un and President Snow, those two would make one bad ass team together! Maybe even better than J-Lorde...

[@DoesAngelsHaveWings]

I don't think this song is popular because everyone thinks she can sing. Rather, the song itself and the scene it was connected to are really powerful and meaningful.

[@thedisguise3538]

"They made four movies, you only needed three." So true. The last movie sucked.

[@EmeryRain]

I thought Part 1 was worse.

[@NathalieHoran]

+Emma Rainbow same, I actually think part 2 was a pretty decent end to the franchise. Part 1 was bad though...

[@booperdooper6930]

+Emma Rainbow part 1 was in my opinion the best I hated the other ones

[@patodonaldinho]

The part 1 was the best for me

[@booperdooper6930]

Donaldinho yeah same after that they started screwing up

[@freyaaah6945]

what about adele or sia tho they are classy af

[@eyyreltiz_1080]

little late before hello and cheap thrills

[@freyaaah6945]

Eyy reltiz_10 You do realise they existed before those two songs? Sia's first Album was in 2004 and Adele's was in 2009 soooo

[@cookiebot7539]

But it was before their big hits i think

[@kazamafraz]

Cookiebot 75 adeles first hit in the us was in 2011 i think

[@redalradish9169]

wutsername_ Their like 40

[@Victoriacariad]

Reading the comment section...people do like to get offended! I loved the original song, it reminded me of old folk songs, that had story and meaning in it. And I thought the Hunger Games films weren't so bad, they were much better than most other films in terms of storyline and such. And I loved this too, was hilarious, particulary bringing in the ever-so-debated moral of marketing for kids/teenagers.

[@janetbuick9933]

+fenrirdies it actually does have a story behind it, maybe you should read the books before you say something like that. I am not a spoiler so I will leave you to find out for yourself. btw this parody is really good!

[@markmurray5292]

The actress playing katniss should of done the movies

[@redrackham6812]

And then we killed our own movie industry.

[@ShadowCryShevaa]

Just simply bad. Yes I love Hunger Games and Jennifer Lawrence.

[@EvilEscape]

ShadowCry Sheva Too bad then? Continue stanning for that rude Jennifer Lawrence while she continue brainwashing her fans :D

[@ShadowCryShevaa]

EvilEscape How is she rude? You're the only person in the world I have ever heard that from!

[@EvilEscape]

ShadowCry Sheva And you are the perfect example of those typical Jlaw's stan who only focus on her fake "positive" image while ignoring all the flaws and negative news surrounding her.

[@ShadowCryShevaa]

EvilEscape So no example I see... You're really pathetic. Everyone has some negativity behind them. Hers are shows through news because she's famous. But she isn't parading about as something she's not. She's true to herself unlike many other celebrities that only care for fame and money. You have no examples to show so how must I know that you're not just some idiot that is just looking for an argument. At the end of the day. She's a good person. Sure as hell as better person than you. Felicia.

[@ShadowCryShevaa]

***** I understand brain washing but she's not exactly a bad role model compared to other celebrities.

[@MPOKeefe92]

"you don't show your ass, not intentionally" lmao #leakedpictures

[@kayjay6238]

+MPOKeefe92 that and Lorde were my fav parts

[@Thewalis123]

I personally am all for book to movie adaptations being made into multiple movies. I don't care if it's an attempt to get more money, it means they can put more detail in and I get to watch more of the story that I love.

[@Thewalis123]

Not many people would actually watch a 5-6 hour movie in one sitting though. Mocking jay's excuse is that it isn't trying to be the longest movie ever made. And like I said, they can con me out of my money all they like, I will happily pay to see more movie.

[@coygina]

Tcrump, you obviously speak for the masses when you try promoting your love of 5-6hour movies... Or, well, you know... Not! In my teens/early uni days I worked in a cinema, it would not have been lucrative or enjoyable for us or our patrons to have them sit for 5-6 hrs, plus, you have to bear in mind that though there are fans of all ages, the majority are teens (not pre-teens), having kids stay out (late) at night is not very safe if they have to get public transport home (if parents don't have cars). They are giving what *most* of the fans want, if you want a long film, why not just wait until they are all finished and watch them all in one go, problem sorted for you. I enjoyed the films, it doesn't amuse me when people bash another person for something they have minimal control over... Like singing voice, the girl freely admits to not being a comfortable singer, I think she did a good job, I liked the natural & raw aspect to her voice, it has charm and authenticity. Ultimately this is poking fun, but it's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, so let's all kum-by-ya ;)

[@shakimaro]

***** Agreed. They can make a mini series if they want. If it's well made, and sticks to the story, by all means. What's the point of fit it "all" in to one movie if they don't fit it ALL in?

[@sarahschaal3866]

They weren't saying that multiple movies are a problem, they're saying they (movie producers) made one to many movies

[@NiennaFan1]

Yeah! It's just sometimes I wish they would focus on the plot that's there instead of still cutting that plot and adding new plot! (It's usually because what's cut is like important conversations but I want to see that stuff, or I want to see the characters expanded on with the extra room instead of adding more plot to cover!)

[@whitneymouse]

:( First KoA that I didn't find funny. If you've read the books, Mockingjay really did need 2 movies. They would've had to cut a lot of it out to make it one or they would have had to make a 4 hour long movie. And I thought Jennifer Lawrence sounded really pretty, actually. She was kind of old-time sounding. I bought the mp3 from iTunes for JUST this song (as in I didn't buy the rest of the soundtrack. Just this one song).

[@Dodrebur]

Whitney Elizabeth Personally, I thought a lot of stuff could have easily been cut from book 3 without loosing much substance. It was definitely the weakest of the series, and I was surprised when they announced the split. As for Jennifer Lawrence singing, I admit that she has talent and potential. However, speaking as a classical vocalist, I was getting phantom pains in my throat just imagining what she must have been doing to get that tone. It's not healthy, and it's not particularly pleasant. She's not a singer, and that's very obvious. She could be though with more training. It's not a bad song.

[@whitneymouse]

Dodrebur idk. I thought the melody was pleasant and I found her voice pleasant, as well. And Mockingjay is actually my favorite of the three because so much is going on. I like the series because it was so well thought out and obviously planned. But to each his own.

[@seren8888]

+Whitney “Fluttershy” Elizabeth Whitney True that lol

[@foxy_is_bae5528]

I love this song so much. I watch this video everyday, at least 5 times 😂😂 I need to buy this song

[@jul6761]

Yep xD

[@blvepvnk]

wish yall still made parodys with the new hunger games movie and song coming out lol

[@icarus8471]

JL actually has a very nice voice. The problem is that everything is so autotuned now that people no longer recognize a real voice. The realness makes it interesting. Pop stars used to sound differently. Now they all sound homogenized. Which is why music is so boring now. Something like HT going platinum is refreshing. The point of this parody is depressing because it misses the point and is a good reason why music is shit today. As to JL, she has an Oscar, a platinum record and she can dance.

[@michaelvera34]

***** I've seen many better singers without autotune. She isn't terrible, but she barely passes as a 2/5. Should have had lorde sing it.

[@icarus8471]

Michael Vera-Please. Her voice makes the song. Those "better" singers have boring, characterless voices. How many singers have a million selling single in the last year? Barely any. Would Lorde have done as well? No. The only one who would sell more was probably Taylor Swift.

[@michaelvera34]

***** What do you mean? That song had no chance of selling well due to it having no value outside of the context of the book. If you never watched/read THG, the song makes no sense. It had no chance of selling no matter who sings it. And while Jenny has an interesting voice, she isn't particually talented. I can think of 20 better singers who could have made this work.

[@kellyu.2587]

Even though I enjoy hearing The Hanging Tree when it plays on the radio, I do have to agree with the points that Mark and the gang made in this video. Yes, Jennifer Lawrence may not be the greatest singer, but her voice is certainly just as good, if not better than many "professional" singers. I prefer listening to her sing than listen to Shakira, Carly Rae Jepson, Mike Posner, or Iggy Azalea.

[@corbinfletcher2262]

The lorde ones were always the best

[@haloban7384]

Omg I can't believe I didn't see this before this shit is so smart😂

[@DarkoTDR]

Leonidas AMPer Yeah it was pretty lame, but i don't care :)

[@BareLotus]

***** I was actually talkin' bout both

[@alvaandersson5882]

one thing that i find extremely disturbing is that they added a dance beat to this song because that is exactly what the capitol would do. and then replay it until it lost its meaning

[@scarredclaw5404]

The fact that they brought North Korea into it was hilarious

[@bmoandpikachu5599]

It was good in the beginning but... then you got rasict and talk about North Korea. Yes, they are communist, but still it's mean.

[@EchoLollipop]

Well, they're killing alot of people and stuff... #defenderofawesome

[@bmoandpikachu5599]

Echo Lollipop Well so does everyone else

[@TheInanimateFightCartoonIsland]

Cookie Doggie Your profile pic made me hungry -_-

[@PinkB00mer]

First of all that wasn't racism. It was poking fun of KIM JONG UN.. And racism is hate (other bad stuff too) towards a RACE. I can agree it's mean to make fun of anyone but he is a figure of communism. Dark humour is funny (My own opinion). So I find it funny but you could also see it as mean since he is another human being with feelings.

[@placeholdername3818]

Dude they have re-education camps and mandatory hair cut styles, etc.. His nation is not a good place he deserves to be made fun of at the very least.

[@gabriellai2511]

There’s a reason I’m watching this right after live left the cinema after watching The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes 😂

[@Lestrangest]

I thought this parody was ok.. I mean Jennifer Lawrence said that she didn't think she could sing and she did a great job, the song is getting so much attention because of its haunting tone and because people want to hear Jlaw singing, not because "pre-teens run the economy" But the parts with Lorde were funny

[@Bullsfan94]

Was it an insult when she said;I can barely sing;. If it was an insult well yall are completely wrong in the movie she has a beautiful voice. Dont be so judgmental

[@justcalledkatie]

I ship j-lorde now

[@sapphirejade15]

Okay, I usually like these. But saying 1. Gullible preteens are the only reason it is on the charts and has made money, no it made money because it is an excellent movie in my opinion. And 2. Saying Jennifer is an awful singer took it too far, she's such a nice person and cried on set because she didn't want to sing so don't throw her down for it, she wasn't meant to sound like Ariana Grande, she's the leader of the rebellion and has survived the Hunger Games and Quarter Quell and has been traumatized by the experience :/ It's called acting and this is a song in a movie, it is telling a story. That's the whole point.

[@alexhong7989]

You think so, I think so, but everyone else don't. She is not terrible, there are worse, but apparently most people thinks that she is on the level of the Beatles or something.

[@sapphirejade15]

:P It wasn't good, I usually like their parodies. I'm not a butthurt fan, even though I am a massive fan of the Hunger Games. It's just how rude they were about Jennifer and her singing.

[@candykitty2401]

I love the Kim Jong Un part! I wish it would be a whole song :/

Please don't mess with Hunger Games. I've watched all of the movies and I LOVE Katniss. She brave, smart, bold, and a great influence. But the part where you said that us pre-teens would buy anything that has to do with her is TOTALY true. I am almost 11 and asked for a Katniss doll for my birthday. I am also saving up for a gold mokingjay medalian on amozon. But this parody was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny.

How can this parody not be a hit? It's one of the best ever made and it mocks Mockingjay (couldn't help it) and it has a spooky message that nobody has ever noticed and they mock lorde and everything. My favorite of 2015 c:

[@NiennaFan1]

spooky message that no one has ever noticed? Do you mean how they're saying that they're milking the Hunger Games films and being evil, or is it something else??

[@christophermoreau000]

I was peeved that they butchered this song (listening to it on the charts) to the point where I have little desire to watch the movies. They turned it from a wistful, dark, haunting, and genuine song to a “hopeful” song that she could hardly manage to even force out. This parody was funny and clever, though; so thank you for that! Edit: This (kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3zVdHhnlr6tbdE) is what I was hoping for, we but got the garbage version LOL
