Nice job. Now, every time someone looks at you from behind, they’re going to wonder why Spider-Man’s spider-sense is tingling and he’s asking himself “WTF?” while he’s in the immediate vicinity of a potentially vaporous region of your body.

This is a pretty good prank; I’m just wondering why you decided to play it on yourself.

I’m not sure what’s more distracting in this Spider-Man tattoo: what passes for Spidey’s right leg, the bloody webbing, or the prospect that someone let an enthusiastic sixth-grader experiment with tattooing for the first time.

Yet, I sense no sense of irony or tongue-in-cheekness amongst the hilariously-terrible CGI effects, production values, and acting. What I do detect is a rudimentary knowledge of U.S. copyright laws, which basically say that a simile of someone else’s intellectual property–in this case, Marvel’s Incredible Hulk–can be commercialized if it’s clearly in the spirit of parody.

Or maybe the producers aren’t trying to lazily skirt intellectual property laws; maybe, with the the sped-up footage and wacky facial expressions, they really would mistake Benny Hill for a master satirist.

Ok, so this isn’t so much “poorly executed” as it is “poorly received.” By me.
