Video Synopsis
The Video is a cut and dry parody of American Idol. Steve stars as Ryan Seacrest while the others all play duel roles as judges and contestants.

Cast and Characters
Steven Gilbert-Pergande as Ryan Seacrest- Not much to this parody other than Seacrest is played as mildly cocky and annoyed by the contestants.

Johnny Crews as BoomBoom Lasalle- An odd contestant who sings songs in a quiet tone and who doesn't like to be yelled at. He cries deeply and asks Seacrest for ride after losing. He sings "Livin' On a Prayer" by Bon Jovi.

Randy Jackson- This parody is played eccentrically often rambling about nonsensical things while critiqueing contestants. Also it should be noted the overuse of the word Dawg.

Mike Neevel as Paula Abdul- Paula is played as an insane but calm nice girl. She tries complimenting contestants and gets into arguments with Simon Cowell.

Zebidiah Zachiriah- A shirtless white Hawaiian who considers himself to look "good" and it should be noted that he has "Fake Spray on Abs". He sings "Reflections" from Mulan.

John Connor as Simon Cowell- Played as a man with an unraveling sanity. He berates contestants with crude and disgusting, yet creative insults. His patience ends with him going on a tyrade towards everyone.

Rabb I. Am- a Jewish rap star who really is a young lawyer named Ronald Reinstein. He is an overall offensive parody of Jewish people. He sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by the Iz.
