LOL: ‘SNL’ Parody Trailer For ‘The Fault In Our Stars 2: The Ebola In Our Everything’

Watch SNL’s The Fault in Our Stars ebola-themed parody after the jump.
The clip originally aired this weekend. Host Sarah Silverman played beautiful young ebola patient Olive, while Taran Killam did his best Ansel Elgort impersonation as “Theodore.” In one of the video’s funniest moments, another SNL star shows up to offer the latter some words of wisdom.
The star-crossed lovers of The Fault in Our Stars 2: The Ebola in Our Everything should be pleased to know that the virus is not, in fact, airborne. Lying on the grass side-by-side to gaze up at the stars shouldn’t pose a risk.
On the other hand, it is spread through contact with bodily fluids or infected surfaces. So maybe they should rethink that whole “just the tip” plan. And maybe all of us in the real world shouldn’t get our health tips from Saturday Night Live parody videos.
So far, the best the industry has been able to do is put adaptations of John Green’s other novels into development including Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska. Those aren’t intended to be linked to The Fault in Our Stars, but given the current craze for “Marvel-style universes,” who knows.
