    It’s weird there aren’t more “He Gets Us” parodies. Like, obviously you could do one with Satan, but what about a guy who makes custom vibrators and sex toys on etsy? Or maybe the reveal is that it’s a kidnapper, and all the people are subtly asking for help, like that episode of the Twilight Zone with the psychic boy. “Sometimes, I feel like I don’t hve control over my own life, and I just want to break free. but He gets us… He always gets us.”

      Most of the Satan-based parodies I saw were pretty bad. They used medieval woodcut style imagery with demons and such.

      I think a better and more effective style would be to mimic the ads more closely, using the same font and modern stock imagery and pithy half-sentences that are devoid of real meaning, but done with a more subversive take.

      You’d want something that they could almost pass along themselves if they didn’t read it too closely.

      I’m gonna need a link…. You know. To, uh, make these parodies.
