# Co-Branding Parodies Danger Maiden Productions Mocks Star Wars and Axe By TopDog | Published 2009-05-09 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outstanding-co-branding-parodies-danger-maiden-productions-mocks-star-wars References: [atom](http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/3EFBFFFF01ADC0B3001700B57894/) Danger Maiden Productions has done a fantastic job with this hilarious, sexy and entertaining parody video. We've seen a few great parodies, each entertaining in their satirical examination of popular social issues, but this one is exceptionally amusing. Watch 'Saber', a brilliantly creative video in which two girls in a bar fight it out over a fella 'Jedi style'. Danger Maiden Productions plans to release a new web-series spin off of the SABER fight. **Implications** - Starring Rileah Vanderbilt and Clare Grant, the ad's unlikely pairing makes it striking and exciting. The incredibly talented Adam Green, who wrote and directed the parody, makes [light saber fighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-soldier-saber) look sexy and fun. It would be great if Axe and [Star Wars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2) teamed up again for a series of [hilarious plays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-club-campaign). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Co-branding Parodies:** Creating parodies that integrate established brands in unexpected ways can generate buzz and reach new audiences for all parties involved. - **Satirical Social Commentaries:** Producing humorous videos that comment on social issues can create engagement and build brand personality, while also harnessing the power of humor to connect with audiences. - **Web-series Spin-offs:** Expanding on successful one-off videos with web series can build sustained engagement and help turn viral hits into long-term brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** By creating humorous ads that poke fun at established brands and cultural norms, companies can use humor to cut through the clutter and truly engage audiences. - **Entertainment:** Developing creative parodies and satirical commentaries can enhance engagement and drive viral sharing, which is critical in online entertainment and content marketing. - **Social Media:** Sharing viral videos through social media can help to build brand equity and increase reach by leveraging the viral nature of user sharing and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spoof Sci-Fi Beer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-rebel-moon.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Fragrance Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-1.md) - [Attraction-Building Fragrance Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fit-check-by-axe.md) - [Streaming Series Deodorants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-witcher.md) - [Comedian-Backed Razor Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-easyrinse-razor.md) - [Sci-Fi Bath Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-bath-soap.md) - [Humorous Natural Deodorant Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-man-jack-still-smell-good.md) - [Male Grooming Artist Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whaxe-pack.md) - [Playful Alcohol Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviation-gin-commercial.md)
