Augustus Clearwater's YouTube Parodies

Augustus Clearwater's YouTube Parodies, also known simply as YouTube parodies, is a YouTube series on Augustus Clearwater created by Tyler Pilkinton. The series is currently in its second season, which premiered on January 4, 2016.

History
The series' first episode, a parody of the channel CinemaSins in which Tyler sinned his film It Just Might Work, premiered in January 2015. Intended as a standalone, the video garnered over 100 views in less than a week, inspiring Tyler to make a sequel parodying Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers. The videos eventually spawned a series with one episode premiering each month.

Popular episodes from the first season including a Vsauce tribute about artificial intelligence; a parody of The Game Theorists centering around the "lore" of SimCity 2013; a spoof of Equals Three featuring Dr. Chan vs. Dr. Madu, the trailer for It Just Might Work, and Clinton Taylor's Superman vs. Zod LEGO battle. Season 1 concluded with two episodes in December: a CinemaSins and Honest Trailer for Tyler's previous film, Redemption.

Season 2 began with a double premiere: a parody of Black Nerd Comedy featuring Xander Ray and a parody of Jon Bailey's Epic Voice Review. New episodes have been posted every two weeks as opposed to season 1's monthly schedule. According to Tyler and Evan Patrick's podcast In Other News White Station, Season 2 was expected to continue through the end of spring.

In July 2016, Tyler Pilkinton made an announcement on his channel Anim8orkid and on his website that a third season of the parodies was in development. He later confirmed on social media that production had begun, releasing a promo trailer on August 30. Season 3 is expected to premiere on September 26.
