I don't think it's clear that they were making fun of the video. I think it actually seems more like they're bolstering its message with something that's a little tongue-in-cheek. (Like, look at that last line: "If you'd like to help, please do nothing. Leave the patriarchy in place.")
I think you may have missed the point of the video. The video isn't mocking sexual harassment but is showing that when you're a fairly handsome white man in America, opportunities seem to be right around every corner and that it is likely that you can get away with not wanting to talk to be people without being called…
I didn't really see this as making fun of it. It's actually calling out white male privilege, which I rarely see outside feminist forums.
I was so worried about what a spoof of the original video might look like, but this is awesome. Let's all take a pause this morning to reflect on how traumatizing it must be to be offered countless small business loans day in and day out.
The best part about this video is the bit at the end. I have seen guys posting it as a retort to the cat calling video and it's clear that they didn't see or can't read words. Too funny.
I've had more violence threatened against me for not handing out smokes like confetti than probably anything else on the street.
Where's my effing burrito?! :(

Oh fresh! I didn't know there was a Simonson Omnibus. Evan you're a gift.
Check out Comixology or some digital equivalent, far cheaper and you can take it anywhere.
There's also Marvel Unlimited service for like 10$ a month and you can read pretty much every Marvel comic ever made.
A magical superhero is easy to portray as almost unbeatable, which is why the best part of this story is Dr. Strange being mortally wounded. He's trying to save his friend/manservant from a deadly disease but is near death's door himself. Like Stern and Smith before them, Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin infuse…
I don't know but I kind of want them to all be surprises. I know next to nothing about the story-lines they will be recreating and I've never read anything with Black Panther, Cap. Marvel or the Inhumans in it.
If you told me ten years ago that Marvel would be hyping movies for the Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy while pretending the X-Men don't exist in all of their merchandising and canceling the Fantastic Four comic, I would have called you a goddamned lunatic.
This dude's rant is undoubtedly a response to this article from The Guardian, entitled, "Female academics: don't power dress, forget heels—and no flowing hair allowed."
Who is reading this guy's posts where he thinks "Yeah, they'll probably want to hear all of this horseshit but they'll probably be pretty offended if I use bitch. I should probably just hint at it.".
