It's british, it's a pure ripoff, it's Granite Moths! I stumbled onto this when looking through Troyhasacamera videos. Please don't kill me, I found this kinda funny.

At the moment I saw the freezeframe of the first video you posted there ("..At the time I didn't feel like watching porn, so I stashed...") I knew i was in for something good.
And I was not let down.
I'm really loving all these better-thought-out Slender Parodies lately. They really do ease my paranoia and put me in a better mood. Which I appreciate lately.
EDIT: Still having quite a laugh at these, and I can see already that this series is far more extensive, but I'm still gonna put it out there that MarbleBumbleBee is still my favorite Slender Parody.

Introduction - Okay, reading a pornographic version of the opening text from MH was admittedly chuckle-worthy.
Entry #1 - Wait... what was that? And what's with the guy in the corner of the screen at 0:28?
Entry #2 - Couldn't hear much.
Entry #3 - Bizarre. The porn-based narration is still funny, but it's getting a bit old. Also, love the angle under the steering wheel.
Entry #4 - Oh, it's the Pink Panther. Narration is still entertaining.
Entry #5 - "Visual tear." I get it. Thanks, comments, for nearly ruining the joke.
I'll continue these later.

Save me K.B. from ruining my precious time watching this. Does it really start to suck and get old?
I watched the first two and thats all I had time for.

I've actually watched more than half of them and it doesn't get old to me. Still finding stuff to laugh at. It's nice to see something that isn't american, like all the other series' and parodies.

Wow my sides hurt I'm laughing so hard at that first video. I guess I know how I'll be spending my lunch at work today. YAY Slender-funnies!

Entry #6 (panther moving around window) - Moderately entertaining.
Entry #8 (3D porn schematics) - Finally, some almost pornographic content. I was feeling frustrated too.
Entry #9 - The "Crafty wank." That's all there is to say, really.
Entry #10 (token entry of running around with flashli- I mean, "torch") - I managed to smile.
Entry #11 (second encounter, nothing "exciting") - The narration at the end was funny enough.
Entry #12 ("man" in field) - Visual tear again... got it.
Entry #13 (campfire ashes; panther in building at the very end) - Operator symbol... can't say it was unexpected, but they could have made its use... well, funny. Like, use crossing dildos or something.
Entry #14 (sneak in door; "blood on face" parody) - Was quite good.
Entry #15 (interview with Jim. Oh, I get it now) - Was all right. Like how matter-of-factly they deliver the last few lines.
Entry #16 (the star and the "house") - A Mario star. That's... out of place.
Entry #17 (recitation of lines with Jim) - WHY ARE YOU WEARING A JACKET??? itsprettyco'in'ere. Also, was that... motion... with the Panther necessary?
Entry #18 (pink-shirt Masky attack) - Okay, the "hard on" line really got me.
Entry #19 (Masky's invasion) - The sex jokes are getting old.
Entry #19.5 (items review) - The Post-Its were kinda funny.
Entry #20 ("Script Revisions" - Jim's sick) - I sorta like the rewritten Hornets lines. These guys are obviously big fans of MH.
Entyr #21 (The Tower) - The written narration is the only thing holding the humor together here.
Entry #22 ([name]... is gone [other name]... is gone) - The script being in front of the actors on the laptop might have been unintentional in #20, but in this one, it's pretty obvious and funny.
Entry #23 (back to the house) - Oh, it WAS the Pink Panther.
Entry #24 (Couldn't have left the room) - Boring.
Entry ######## (yew... are de-ark!) - So... they're Scottish, maybe? I'm not good with Great Britain accents.
Entry #25 (making fire) - ZOMG A GURL LOLOLOL WTF.
Entry #26 (The End... ? No.) - The dialogue was pretty funny. Not much else to say, except I don't really understand why that guy ran out the door.
CONSENSUS: These guys can be funny. They've proven it time and time again with their various unapologetic perverted twists on the MarbleHornets story. But they could use some refining. I know I'll sound like a hypocritical dick for this (considering MBB's first several videos), but guys, please, drop Windows Movie Maker. You look old enough to have a means of making enough money to buy something a bit more sophisticated. They've obviously worked harder at their series than we have, though, since in the span of only five months they've redone more than half of MH, though it looks like they've taken a break after 26, though I doubt it'll be seven months. Their style of humor is clearly just silly, perverted, fun takes on each and every MH entry, and while that can be funny, it certainly wears on you. My opinion of them is probably lessened by the fact that I've just chugged through most of their videos in one sitting, which wears on one's mind (as I'm sure many of you know). Nevertheless, I have subscribed to them and I hope to see more, preferably with some improvement in the timing, the budget, and the release dates (seriously, spreading yourself a bit thin isn't bad when you want your series to last a bit longer). I'm sure that many people find the low budget/terrible editing to be part of the humor, and maybe it's just my whiny anal retentiveness speaking here, but that stuff just bugs me.

Maybe you'll be able to enjoy it better than me, but I think it got old after a bit. They never start to "suck," really, but the perverse shtick doesn't evolve to accommodate the long running time.

Well I'll be darned. They actually got a lot better. Hearing British versions of Jay and Alex snap vulgar insults at each other is quite fun.

"He moved further down the street and I haven't spoken to him since" or whatever was my favorite part of Entry #1! I'll have to check these out!

You actually read all of that? Well, in that case, I'll probably do another.

This is the best one I've ever seen! Wowee! Definitely worth sticking it out through the first 4.25 minutes and watching to the end!
Guys! They started posting again! It's worth watching just for the bit at the beginning!

The old one was locked for no apparent reason, and there's a new entry (60.5). Quite hilarious.
