The Hills, MTV's thoroughly successful attempt to make emptiness shiny, watchable, and somehow more empty, is currently in its fourth season. Since its inception the show has been parodied relentlessly, which is understandable. It's a ridiculous show presented with stone-faced seriousness. Ultimately though parodying The Hills is an exercise in futility since the show itself requires almost no comedic exaggeration whatsoever to be funny–a fact hammered home in one of the better Hills parodies, featuring James Franco and Mila Kunis delivering Hills dialogue nearly verbatim.
But apparently MTV just found out that the entire populace of the United States either had uploaded or was currently uploading their lukewarm Hills parodies to YouTube, because they've decided to air a Hills parody of their own starring one man, old footage, and lots of wigs.

So if Hills parodies are like beating a dead horse, and The Hills itself jumped the shark long ago, then The Hills According To Me is like beating a dead horse with a jumped shark. Or something. At least the "You have to leave the apartment," line was funny.
Anyway, it's an excuse to air yet another Hills marathon. Great job, MTV!
