Via Wonderland Steam:

A couple of Emerson College students started a sketch comedy group in 2002. Their intention was to entertain some crowds. Instead, they entertained the nation. The group, Chocolate Cake City, gained national attention with their hilarious spoof, Brokeback to the Future, which altered footage from the Back to the Future movies to create a fake trailer for a gay love story. The groundbreaking mash-up started a new trend, but at the gang's site, you can find tons of new videos, testifying to the versatility of their comedy and their intention to keep it alive in cyberspace.

Another Round-Up

From The University Daily Kansan:

And you never know when these moments of college nostalgia are going to hit.

But I started to think about the first time I heard about YouTube. I was a young freshman, sitting in Budig 110. And my professor said, “So have you guys heard about this new site called YouTube?”

There were a few nods, and some grumbling, and then our Professor showed us the first YouTube video I ever had the pleasure of seeing.

“Brokeback to the Future.” Remember the mash-up of “Brokeback Mountain” and “Back to the Future?”

It’s still going strong on YouTube. The video he showed us that day has now been viewed more than 5 million times.

Lowell Sun:

Emerson College comedy troupe Chocolate Cake City's mash-up of Brokeback Mountain and Back to the Future III set off a fervor

*

SPIEGEL ONLINE:

"Back to the Future" was undeniably a Hollywood high point. "Brokeback Mountain" led this year's Oscar nominations so it can't be half bad either. The two together? Now this you've got to see.

...

One creative genius has decided that if "Back to the Future" with 80s teen idol Michael J. Fox was good and "Brokeback Mountain" about two gay cowboys was even better, then the two together would constitute a fantastic addition to America's cinematic heritage.

St. Petersburg Times: "BEST MASH-UP."

COUNTDOWN w/Mr. Olbermann:

The center of the viral universe, youtube.com This free video sharing site launched just last December now with 6 million viewers watching 40 million clips each day. And in this world, the weirder, the better. There`s the guy who dances. The one who juggles. More recently, a "Brokeback Mountain" spoof, Brokeback to the future.

La Repubblica:

Diverso, invece, il ribaltone di cui è vittima una delle saghe più famose della storia del cinema, quella fantascientifica e avventurosa di Ritorno al futuro. In questo caso, l'autore del fake trailer cambia anche il titolo del film: non Back to the future, come nell'originale, ma Brokeback to the future. E già questo gioco di parole (col riferimento a Brokeback Mountain) lascia intendere di che parliamo: il rapporto tra il giovane Michael J. Fox e lo scienziato semifolle Cristopher Lloyd diventa una grande love-story omosex. Con scritte che sottolineano come, nel loro tentare un difficile esperimento, avessero "dimenticato una variabile: l'amore". E l'emergere di "una verità che non potevano negare". Il tutto corredato da abbracci tra i due personaggi, e da un lanciarsi di sguardi sconsolati.
