If you haven’t seen this work of sheer genius by Ben Stiller you MUST watch it now! This web spoof of The Bachelor has had us in an uncontrollable giggle fit since it premiered! Ben Stiller somehow captures the essence of everything we love about the show, particularly the ridiculousness.

Actor Ken Marino is shown in this publicity photo from the web series ''Burning Love'' released to Reuters June 4, 2012. Yahoo! stokes the flames of Internet media with a new attempt at bringing a TV-like show to the Web on Monday with the launch of ''Burning Love,'' a comedy spoof of reality show ''The Bachelor'' that has the backing of Ben Stiller. Produced with Paramount's Insurge Pictures and Stiller's Red Hour Productions, the series is a succession of 7 to 10-minute episodic shorts that parody the popular reality competition in which women vie for the affection of a single man. REUTERS/Robyn Van Swank/HandoutComedian Michael Ian Black nails the Chris Harrison hand gestures as he prepares Mark for the incoming limo of ladies. (BTW if you haven’t seen our breakdown of Chris Harrison hand gestures and situation poses you must!)

So the limos arrive in typical dramatic fashion. Each limo shot is juxtaposed with the ridiculous Bachelor soundtrack letting us know that the lady emerging from the limo must be an absolutely amazing catch.

The drama as the limo door opens has viewers glued to their seats in anticipation of each amazing lady as the landing gears land and each girl exits the limo — which is why this scene is so amazing.

The amazing lady pool is beyond belief! The first few ladies all have panda-and-julie-in-burning-love-f-65518careers as “Dental Hygienists,” which, if you have watched the last 16 seasons of The Bachelor, you are aware of the inordinate number of dental careers held by these amazing ladies. Even the 90-year-old grandma contestant is a retired “dental hygienist.”
Actress Kristen Bell plays a devout Christian — saying: “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m already in a committed relationship….with God.”
Willow, the homeless girl, is just looking for a warm place with food and drink.The show packs an all-star cast, even showcasing a cameo by Jennifer Aniston in a panda suit.

burning-love-ken-marino-natasha-leggeroOur personal favorite was Haley, the girl with no pants or panties who is a “Salon Hair Washer” steps out of the limo ready to get the party started telling Mark: “I like to lay all my cards out on the table.” Amazing!
