Jimmy Kimmel uses the famous child-biting video and combines it with one of the more [famous superhero franchises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-e-cheese-superman) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meg-ryan-and-billy-crystal) -- just for a bit of Oscar credibility. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebrity Parody Videos:** The popularity of celebrity parody videos presents opportunities for brands to collaborate with celebrities and create entertaining content that can go viral. - **Superhero Parodies:** The success of superhero movies creates a market for superhero parodies, allowing for creative and humorous reinterpretations of popular characters and storylines. - **Collaborative Celebrity Videos:** Collaborative celebrity videos provide an opportunity for brands to leverage the star power of multiple celebrities to generate buzz and reach a wider audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on the trend of celebrity parody videos by producing and promoting comedic content that resonates with audiences. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can tap into the trend of superhero parodies to create memorable and engaging campaigns that stand out from the competition. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms and influencers can leverage collaborative celebrity videos to increase engagement and attract a larger following. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heartthrob Beef Jerky Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bury-the-beef-campaign.md) - [Video-Sharing Kids Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocomelon-x-burstkids-sonic-toothbrush.md) - [Film-Inspired Condiment Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-smiles.md) - [Comedian-Themed Holiday Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-brownie.md) - [Cheeky Celeb-Inspired Fictional Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond.md) - [Quirky Spoof Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth.md) - [Humorous Snack Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club.md) - [Actor-Mocking Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-england-ipa.md) - [Humorous Star-Studded Chip Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches.md)
