Amy Sedaris Is Betty Draper In "The Jewish Mad Men"

From the people who brought us The NY Times Weekender parody with Paul Rudd and everybody in it, The 92nd Street Y, comes "Meshugene Men", the Jewish version of Mad Men, starring Amy Sedaris as "Netty Draperberg":

It's weird and revealing that the local Y is making better (or at least more star-studded) parody videos to advertise Purim events and "Jewish environmental bike rides" than most TV networks make to advertise their shows. Get it together, huge national conglomerates.

Dude. That is the exact same Don Draper as from the College Humor parody, Mad Libs Men!!! Look: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=397

Who is this recycled Don Draper? I can't figure out if the two videos are related in any way. The Internet has failed me.

Both clever but I think I'm going to have to go with the Meshugene Men.
