VIDEO! The Real L Word (Parody) PART TWO: The Lost Episode

COMMENT

For those of you unable to afford brain reconstruction surgery, you probably still have PTSD flashbacks regarding Showtime’s Semi-Hit Shitshow The Real L Word, that fantastic program about the loves, lives, lust and lornadoones of several good-looking lesbians residing in the Los Angeles area. Perhaps you also remember the time that Executive Editor Laneia and Miss April Sarah Croce decided that Autostraddle was obligated by some higher power to produce a Real L Word parody video and I (Riese) said ABSOLUTELY NOT, but then this happened anyhow:

But that was only Part One! It’s been months, where’s part two? Well, I (Riese) sort of lost interest in the whole project BUT LUCKY FOR YOU, Sarah Croce stepped in! She’s a Jackie of all Trades or something, and a magical person.

That’s right, our intrepid supermodel Sarah Croce not only learned how to use Final Cut but subsequently applied this knowledge to editing Part Two herself! It’s like really good you guys.

So without any further ado (and face it, I just put you through a ton of fucking ado) — Part Two of The Real L Word parody, starring a bunch of people, edited by Sarah Fucking Croce:


+

The New York City cast of this video were filmed by two real lesbians, Millie and Jenn of Onyxrai Productions, and produced by Autostraddle.com and Geek Goddess Productions. The Los Angeles segments (Ilene & EZier Girl and Stamie & Tracy) were filmed by a tripod and Stamie’s nanny, respectively.

Conceptualized by: Executive Editor Laneia, Senior Editor Jess R., Sarah H. and Sarah Croce

    You know when you watch a video, and then you just like, explode? That just happened to me. “We’ll just tent it… Oh! There’s already a tent!” And then baby koala and “On CARDSTOCK!” bahahahahahahaha

      THANKS!!! Only love for that woman. She’s so damn funny. Why doesn’t she have her own show yet?

  13. April 8, 2011 at 11:27 am

    I have two comments about the slow-mo straddle w/sarah c. & alex v.:

    1. If autostraddling was an olympic sport, i’m pretty sure that running start straddle would’ve easily clinched the gold. EASILY.

    2. It also reminded me of Dirty Dancing – y’know, when they finally get the jump? NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER!

  14. April 8, 2011 at 11:28 am

    everyone involved in this is pure magic

    1. April 8, 2011 at 2:45 pm

      Yes. #dragqueencrush

      1. April 8, 2011 at 5:47 pm

        this is actually my favorite part of the video, the secret Raven cameo.

  20. April 8, 2011 at 1:22 pm

    why wasn’t i wearing my natalie wig? oh because it was also the mikey wig.

    “actually, it’s SADA.”

    i can’t stop. thank you croce!

  21. April 8, 2011 at 1:28 pm

    Croce, I am SO excited to be working with you.

    Everyone else, yes. Excellent work!

  22. April 8, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    I will NEVER get over Alex as Sara, Romi AND Tor. Alex, you amaze and astound me.

  23. April 8, 2011 at 2:41 pm

    This was hilarious and all, but that little stuffed bulldog in the background was soooooo adorable (me = lil ADD) ^_^

  24. April 8, 2011 at 2:43 pm

  28. April 8, 2011 at 4:40 pm

    i think my favorite exchange is:

    “My name is Romi! I’M ROMI!”
    “Ohh fuck… what time is it?”

    1. April 9, 2011 at 8:35 am

      i would submit that the best part is actually about three seconds after that when croce puts on her sunglasses, because that is how Pussy Sluts signal that cuddle time is over. sorry babe, this has been fun but i need to put the indoors sunglasses back on now. <3

    The “okayyy, might as well get married in Kmart, alright” line is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life.

  32. April 8, 2011 at 6:51 pm

    after a few views, i have finally found my favorite part: fucking handcuffs hanging on the wall next to the light switch.

    done AND done.

  33. April 8, 2011 at 8:24 pm

    Thank you Croce! Freaking hilarious! I can only imagine how many takes it took to get all that without giggling up a storm.

    4. so funny

  46. April 10, 2011 at 8:26 am

    I was holding off watching it to make it kind of an event: my girlfriend and I last night re-watched some of our favorite real l-word episodes back to back, followed by the parody (hadn’t seen part one before either).

    Thanks guys for a great evening!!

  47. April 12, 2011 at 9:39 pm

    hahaha. omg this is brilliant! made me laugh sooo hard

  48. April 13, 2011 at 8:36 am

    I think the best part is that Alex played Romi, Sara, AND Tor. I mean, they did kind of all look alike. It’s like those fashion things that tell you how to switch from day to night, just buy putting on some sparkle eyeshadow. Switch from Tor to Romi, just by adding a feather earring and slouchy hat!

  49. April 16, 2011 at 11:08 am

    this is fantastic. now, I’m going to watch it again.
