Some amazing leaked footage from The Sarkeesian Effect project. Weirdly, both Davis Aurini and Jordan Owen seem to have grown full beards and started talking with some sort of fancy British/Aussie/New Zealand accents.
CONTENT NOTE: Video contains not only poor lighting, a bathtub rant, and Davis Aurini laughing but also some in-character gaslighting and rape advocacy.
H/T — Everyone who sent me a link to this one.
That was hilarious. I do wonder if it is just parody after watching Aurini and Owen’s video or if those are actual quotes from those two. I am curious but I am not spending my time to watch Aurini and Owen’s videos.
Sounded Australian to me. Australians are utterly unable to do American accents, but keep trying!
HAHA wow I’m so glad I watched that. They sound like Australians or maybe New Zealanders to me (I have a hard time telling the difference >.< especially when they're trying to sound American).
Anita Sarkeesian invented Tumblr! Amazing.
It’s so accurate it’s almost painful.
Now that’s satire.
Needs more skulls.
De-lightful!
Exactly. Needs more plastic novelty skulls. Otherwise, spot-on!
I’m a huge misogynist…. on PAPER.
OMG, my boyfriend bought two of these glasses the other day and I immediately thought of the fucknugget duo and their prop skulls and burst out laughing. I had to reassure my confused boyfriend that I liked the glasses and was just laughing at something else.

They look super cool filled with whiskey, or some kind of brightly colored liquor would also work well.
“After literally HOURS of research… ON GOOGLE…”
I kinda sorta maybe definitely squeaked at that part. Oh mercy.
You know it’s a fake video because of the distinct lack of watermark background skulls that litter the original.
Sound’s too audible. But bathtub hot dog: delicious.
Ha! Oh man, between Matt Lees, that hilarious “Measured Response” video, and now this, guys with English/Australian accents have been *killing* it with the Sarkeesian Effect parodies.
This video is a good illustration of the principle that it’s hard to distinguish between parodies of extremism and sincere extremism.

Hmm. I guess that might be more of an Australian accent.
Oh god the dramatic sigh he starts the Jorden Owen part with gets me every time. I’m dying.
I can’t handle the Davis Aurini parts oh god.
That is the best Aurini/Owen video evah! Kudos to Shamus Davis — the Aurini impression is creepily awesome.
I had to Google ‘Measured Response’ video, and I’m so glad I did:
Yep, he sounds Aussie to me. New Zealanders swallow their vowels, the difference is really noticeable when you know what to listen for.
Anyway:
“We’ve spent the last five months travelling all around America, interviewing both sides of the argument: Both men’s rights activists and pickup artists.” LOL! Awesome stuff.
Yep. Aussie I’d reckon.
The parody made me reconsider the original… does Davis Aurini have fake teeth? A bridge? Full dentures? It would explain his strange mouth movements and pauses to show off the work he’s had done.
Video creator here. Confirmed Australian. If I was able to find a toy skull, I planned on buying a dozen of them and putting them all around the place. But I couldn’t find any, and it’s probably a good thing because then I would own a dozen skulls. Glad you guys enjoyed it. David, I’m a big fan.
