It ends with the kicker, “You fell for our weird psychology experiment, and it showed you you’re not actually a hideous monster. So where’s our Nobel Peace Prize or whatever?” You’re welcome. Now go about your day, you hideous gorilla. \[h/t [AdAge](http://adage.com/article/digital/dove-video-draws-higher-class-parody/292759/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/71764/dove-real-beauty-ad-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/71764/dove-real-beauty-ad-parody/"},"headline":"This Hilarious Dove 'Real Beauty' Ad Parody Will Change How You Look in the Mirror","datePublished":"2014-04-22T14:18:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:59.014Z","description":"You're beautiful the way you are.
