!["Jane Austen's Fight Club" Fake Trailer Goes Viral [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/025yRIwnDRrEvqRWMcCZqJW/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018852.jpg)
A brief, though extremely well-produced, faux trailer has been making the viral rounds these past few days, depicting what would happen if they had fight club during the days of Jane Austen. We imagine a whole lot more boys would have been OK with reading Pride and Prejudice had Lizzy busted out with a roundhouse once in a while.
The humor in the video seems to reflect a recent trend we've been seeing in literature, whereby classic books are injected with dark, incongruous humor -- see Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (you can check about the book trailer for the prequel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, on YouTube) and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
This little vid has been spreading across the web pretty steadily over the last few days, racking up more than 37,000 views and scoring mentions on blogs like Jezebel and video-sharing sites like PopScreen. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments: Would you watch this film?
