Reservoir Dogs – a timeless classic – and the cast of Orange is the New Black; the two concepts that one would never imagine putting together in a sentence is now a reality. The hilarious parody can be seen in the video below.
The sketch posted below is courtesy of Red Nose Day’s NBC special that aired on May 21st. The idea of Red Nose Day originally hails from the UK; the mission is to raise money and awareness to help children all over the world in exchange for spreading laughter through comedy – talk about a win-win. The concept was originated by the organization Comic Relief UK.
“Comic Relief UK was established 30 years ago in response to the famine in East Africa. Comic Relief UK’s most well-known event, Red Nose Day, is an established and highly successful fundraising event that raises significant funds for poverty relief in Africa and the UK and raises awareness of the issues we care about. Comic Relief UK is a grant making organization and has distributed over one billion dollars to thousands of beneficiaries since it began in 1985” (rednoseday.org).
Since 1988, the group has successfully raised over $1.5 billion – 2015 is the first year they brought their mission to the US; they have collected $21 million so far.
Along with the skit posted below, the 3 hour special that aired on NBC feature a slew of hilarious sketches – most of which can be found online (some were meant to just be online exclusive to research thoroughly!); our favorites included the Game of Thrones and Coldplay Musical, Celebrity Phone Tree with Seth Meyers, and Indiana Jones with Anna Kendrick.
