Online dating takes an apocalyptic turn in this Walking Dead spoof

It starts out so innocently, like every advertisement for every online dating app and website ever. A pleasant-seeming, outwardly normal young woman named Kimmy (Kimmy Foskett) is matched up with a pleasant-seeming, outwardly normal young man named Chris (Chris Tabet), and soon they’re enjoying mimosas and small talk in a charming little restaurant one fine afternoon. A love story appears to be in the making. But then, Chris gets up to the bathroom, and Kimmy checks out his Facebook account on her phone. And everything turns to shit. Welcome to “The Stalking Dead,” a clever little short from CHIX Productions, the comedy duo behind last year’s body-conscious Game Of Thrones parody, “Shame Of Thrones.” This year, Foskett and her partner in comedy, Liza Renzulli, have set their parodic sights on AMC’s The Walking Dead, though fans should not expect flesh-eating or gun play. The violence here is strictly of the emotional kind.
