Yahoo Gears Up for 'Bachelor' Parody Web Series With Ben Stiller, Kristen Bell

Yahoo will be introducing a web series next month that pokes fun of dating reality show The Bachelor, with the help of a whole lineup of comedic actors from Ben Stiller to Kristen Bell.

The web series called Burning Love -- which will debut on Monday, June 4 on the Yahoo Comedy Channel -- is a parody of ABC's hit dating show. Each season, contestants vie for the affection of one bachelor or bachelorette, and in most cases, over-the-top antics and drama ensues.

Yahoo's parody series will follow fictional fireman Mark Orlando, played by Ken Marino, as he searches for the perfect woman. Burning Love promises viewers bubble baths, hair extensions and spray-tans -- just like you would be getting while watching The Bachelor.

Other actors include Malin Akerman, Christine Taylor, Michael Ian Black and former Bachelor contestant Jake Pavelka. Ben Stiller is the series' executive producer.

Yahoo has been releasing more comedic videos to its channel, such as a recent spoof on Kickstarter and a parody called "We're Not Young" that went viral.
