"F" is Frodo

Frodo and Sam were the subjects of many a YouTube parody of Brokeback Mountain, including "Brokeback of the Rings".

Yay, that's a name I never thought I'd get to play here.  Makes this Frodo groupie happy.

"G" is gayly

Early 2006 saw the ubiquitous Brokeback Mountain parody trailers, which emphasized how gayly characters have been acting in our familiar moves.

Contained on the DVD set Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection, Volume 2, on disc 3 under "Previews," is a parody featuring Beavis and Butt-Head which uses a similar score and format as the movie trailer for Brokeback Mountain.  The parody is a commercial for the upcoming DVD release of The Mike Judge Collection, Volume 3.

("K" is kitten)

(II now see you all aren't doing the letter K anymore, so just disregard this, but...

On Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 04:36 PM, on Salon, this letter to the editor was published:

"BROKEBACK KITTEN!
See, the immorality has spread from Wyoming down to the animal kingdom! Nobody, no creature is safe from the homosexual agenda. I urge all concerned parents to check hamster cages and goldfish bowls for untoward propinquities and take the appropriate steps. Hollywood is destroying our moral fiber at every level, and next time you feel a twinge or have a migraine, it's most likely the threat of gay marriage undermining your reality."

If you saw Brokeback Island, you might enjoy a sequel:  Lostback Mountain.

Saturday Night Live did a trailer parody called "Brokeback Goldmine" with two gay prospectors (played by castmember Will Forte and then-host Alec Baldwin) falling in love.

"O" is overtones

"BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN" loses the best-picture Oscar to surprise winner "Crash," but it's no contest in the enduring-pop-culture-icon category. Those GAY COWBOYS are the subject of endless jokes and imitations — the best being the fake movie trailers (remember "Brokeback Penguin"?) to the distinct guitar twangs of the movie soundtrack. And "brokeback" becomes an adjective unto itself, meaning something with gay overtones.
