This Alex Jones parody is really funny https://www.salon.com/2017/11/21/lil-alex-jones-video/
Honestly, it's pretty easy to parody Alex Jones. The gravel-voiced, vein-popping, conspiracy-theorist leader of his own mini media empire and health-supplement sales platform is so impossibly over the top that he lends himself to it. So hyperbolically buffoonish is the host that you sometimes have wonder if his whole public presence isn't some kind of Andy Kaufmanesque art project critiquing modern broadcasting. Indeed, it may be.
The ease to which Jones lends himself to satire, however, doesn't make the web series "Lil' Alex Jones" from Cafe any less enjoyable. Starring a particularly feisty child, the mini-show zeroes in on Jones' outsized petulance which, let's face it, is only significantly different from that of a pre-teen in its subject matter.
Here, Lil' Alex Jones confronts the evils of Flintstones Chewable Vitamins, censorship at the book fair, his stepdad, Mark, and whatever shadowy cabal of illuminati is secretly pouring pee into his bedsheets. The tone is perfect, as is Lil' Alex Jones' constant hawking of snake-oil supplements, one of which is guaranteed to bring on puberty in children as young as nine.
