"Parisian Love" was a milestone for the search giant -- marking its first major push into the realm of television advertisements. It was also a viewer favorite, scoring the second most-liked spot with Hulu users and garnering more than its share of buzz on social media networks.
Well, you know the old adage: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. The rampant success of the spot has touched off a series of parody remakes, many of which have to do with love gone wrong. And that makes sense, given that V-Day is just around the corner. Despite some bright spots in the realm of social media amour, the following videos just go to show that deep within each of us beats a heart not made of spun sugar and love, but rather iron ore and bitterness. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
