The movie’s not even out yet, but I’ve read two parodies already. Whatmen?! is a parody of the original Graphic Novel: > **[Whatmen?! 5-page preview](https://issuu.com/ryall/docs/whatmen_5pager?mode=embed&documentId=081226205334-3d18b48716984c8cbd3e964cbe170735&layout=grey)** > > WHATMEN?!

I always thought you were just some guy, and it turns out that all along, you’re Chris from Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog? It’s like finding out that Clark Kent is really Spiderman. Or something. ---

No, I’m Just Some Guy and use Ubernerd for my blog; I did the first link. Definitely not Chris who did the second one. **Really, I’m honestly not Chris Sim, I didn’t intend to imply that I am, and I have no desire to even attempt to take credit for Chris’s stuff.** ---

I hadn’t noticed it before, but, in addition to the parodies they put in Mad magazine, there was a Mad parody of Watchmen in the 2012 Comicon book > **[MAD's 'Watchmen' Spoof](https://www.madmagazine.com/blog/2012/02/02/mads-watchmen-spoof)** > > Yesterday, DC Entertainment announced that they’ll be expanding on the classic series Watchmen If you Google “Watchman parodies” you’ll get a lot of other ones, but I was unaware of this one until recently ---

This has to be one of my favorite Watchmen parodies. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YDDHHrt6l4w/hqdefault.jpg "Saturday Morning Watchmen") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDDHHrt6l4w) ---
