Google Glasses Parodies: The Funniest Videos Making Fun Of Google's BIg New Project

Since Google released a video unveiling its plans for augmented reality specs, called "Project Glass," many parody videos have popped up on YouTube making fun of everything from the device's not-so-smart future users to its potential pitfalls.

That's not to say that Google's high-tech spectacles might not be useful in the future. Just think of wearing a device -- right over your regular glasses, if you need to -- that could easily help you navigate both the real world and the virtual world simultaneously. The possibilities for such a product are endless, but, as evidenced by these parodies, its development still has a long way to go.

Flip through the slideshow below to check out some of the funniest "Project Glass" spoofs, and let us know: Which one do you like best? Would you buy a pair of Google's awesome specs, even after watching these videos? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I could see people getting hit by buses with this thing. Let say your in new york city. You are walking down the street. You stop at a corner. It seems like its a green light. So you start walking to the other side. But then a Popup ad for Super Viagra and just then the light turns red. But you cant see it because Viagra ad. And then Bus start rolling down the street and BAM. Anyways i think you get the picture.

I don't understand what the big deal is. You wouldn't put your cell phone up to your eye while driving or navigating stairs.

It's no different than sun shades or glasses. Some have put a chain on glasses. And shades are often worn at the hairline.

Take them off when inconvenient.
