VH1’s America’s Next Top Zombie Idol Spoof

Published

on

Beyond the break you’ll find the first segment of VH1’s America’s Next Top Zombie Idol, an online-exclusive spoof from 51 Minds, the creators of Charm School, the …Of Love saga and America’s Most Smartest Model. In it, eight reanimated finalists in varying degrees of rabidness and decay are literally dying to win the show’s titular distinction, which would probably be as useful as any reality show title, even if it’s fake. The short episode is intent on dismantling reality show cliches, one drunken contestant at a time, and there’s no coincidence that it arrives with tongue-in-rotted cheek just in time for Halloween.
