A [[Montage Parody]], also known as a MLG Montage or even just MLG, is a form of remix video on [[YouTube]] involving video games and pop culture in general. Its origins can be traced back to 2011, when such parodies began emerging in response to montage videos posted by e-sports/MLG channels as well as amateur gamers trying their spin at it. Over time, montage parodies have taken a life of their own, sometimes using footage or material that have no relation to video games. Still, their foundations in gaming remain evident. Among the more well known channels that specialize in or feature such works are [https://www.youtube.com/user/AncientReality Ancient Reality] and [https://www.youtube.com/user/Materialisimo Materialisimo].

Montage parodies are also known for having a tendency to share certain tropes, regardless of their variety. These include the use of air horn blasts, dubstep, ''[[Call of Duty]]'' sound effects (especially the "hitmarker" sound), and applying [[Fountain of Memes|a ton of memes]], whether it's currently popular or intentionally invoking a [[Discredited Meme]] or [[Dead Horse Trope]]. The end result often comes across as surrealist, if not outright [[Mind Screw]]s, with particularly popular videos becoming memes, if not source materials in of themselves.

In this respect, they're akin to [[YouTube Poop]]s. But as montage parodies grow in variety, sophistication and insanity, the line between them and YTPs is rapidly blurring.

* [[Acceptable Targets]]: E-sports gamers, MLG wannabes and just about anyone. Franchises such as ''[[Call of Duty]]'' as well as low-quality games and films tend to be fair game.

* [[Try to Fit That on A Business Card]]: These videos also have a habit of mocking and lampooning the at-times ludicrously long or nonsensical gamertags/usernames of certain MLG-types.
