Seth Rogen and James Franco released a spoof video recreating Kanye West’s much talked about “Bound 2” music video on Monday called “Bound 3.”
The original video for West’s single debuted Nov. 19 and garnered attention for its use of green-screen graphics and for featuring West’s fiancée, Kim Kardashian, riding a motorcycle naked.
Franco and Rogen recreated the video shot for shot, with Franco taking on the role of the rapper and Rogen doing his best Kardashian imitation – which is to say he appears shirtless and gazes seductively at the camera. Franco lip syncs to “Bound 2,” and the two cuddle on the motorcycle similarly to Kim and Kanye in the video. “Bound 3” has wracked up almost 2.5 million views on YouTube in 24 hours.
West is known for his negative reactions to public criticism. He recently started a Twitter feud with Jimmy Kimmel after the late night comedian spoofed an interview the rapper gave in which he called himself a genius.
This spoof from Franco and Rogen, however, seems to have amused West – at least, according to Kardashian. Soon after the video was released, Kardashian Tweeted her congratulations to Rogen and Franco.
You nailed it!!! Sooo funny! RT @Sethrogen: #Bound3 https://t.co/iVxfPKtboX. Enjoy!!!!!!

Rogen responded to Kardashian’s tweet, prompting the video girl to also offer up her fiancé’s well wishes, saying that West “laughed so hard at this.”
