is Death Note becoming the new source to use with parodies? I don't get it

It's always to make fun of an anime that takes it's self too serious. BTW: This is a dumb idea for a thread : /

It's not just you. I've noticed it since 2007 as well.

coming from a guy (see what i did there) who makes dumb threads all the time, thats not saying much...

Just an observation. I've never seen Death Note so i'm just wondering why everyone wants to use it for parody/comedy all the time. Is it because one person did it and won awards and now everyone is jumping on the band wagon? Or is there some other reason Death Note is the source of choice recently?

I think it's a combination of things. It's both popular and the videos win awards. In their defense, some are good like Rinny's at Otakon. It's that way with all popular sources (i.e. Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Haruhi, Ouran, and even Makoto Shinkai stuff).

At the same time, having seen some of Death Note (OK not really, I just have it on in the background when DOTA'ing) I'm a little surprised since the show has very little motion or actual animation. It's very...still. Sure it looks pretty, but not much actually happens frame-to-frame that I'd call it 'good for AMVs.' *shrug*

I think the only death note video I've seen is VegettoEX's one where he kills off all the DBZ producers.

Then again, I dunno any new anime past 2002 or so.

Better parody than action. I never understood the death note action vids. The most exciting thing in the anime is a guy writing. WTF was up with trying to make that into an action?

There was one at Otakon that I liked but other then that I never like any of the action ones.

They're all generally pretty bad, no matter the genre.
