If you’ve watched morning cable news anytime in the past couple of years, you’re probably more than familiar with the ubiquitous New York Times “Weekender” commercial.

Well, an impressive cast of comedians, including Paul Rudd, Eugene Mirman, and Todd Barry, has finally given this pox on mankind the spoofing it so desperately needs. Check it out at right.
