If you haven’t yet recovered from Kanye West’s latest music video for his tune “Bound 2,” a gushing ode to fiancée Kim Kardashian, complete with racing stallions, pastel sunsets, shooting stars, and simulated sex, you may not be ready for its spoof: On Monday, James Franco and Seth Rogen recreated West’s music video, shot for shot. And it’s the best thing you'll see all day.  

The video opens with Franco posing as West, rapping to the camera, then riding a motorcycle, with a topless Seth Rogen (playing the Kim Kardashian role) sitting on his lap. There’s caressing, dry humping, and making out (2:13 and 3:56) but their antics pale in comparison to Rogen’s hairy back and sultry come-hither expressions.

The comedic pair created the video, which they titled “Bound 3,” during downtime on the set of their upcoming film, “The Interview.” Next up: Recreating West's inevitable angry tweet.
