They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and Judd Apatow is feeling the love, tweeting his seal of approval for a new parody video spoofing HBO's hit comedy "Girls," which he produces.

"Boys" is a new fake trailer lampooning the Emmy-nominated series that stars Lena Dunham (who is also show creator) and focuses on a group of twenty-something friends as they make their way through life in the Big Apple. The hilarious clip does a fantastic job of satirizing the show's sex talk and instances of co-dependency.

Playing off the allegations of nepotism the show has weathered, "Boys" even touts such big name second generation stars as the (faux!) sons of Pat Benatar and Daniel Craig – yes, Craig Craig.

Check it out:

The actual source of their inspiration, "Girls," has been a hit for HBO. Dunham created the show following the success of her indie hit "Tiny Furniture," which was a semi-autobiographical film about her moving back into her parents' loft following college. Dunham directed "Furniture" at the spry age of 24 on a budget of only $50,000.

Apatow was a fan of the flick and now look at Dunham – she's got a cozy half-million dollar pad in NYC's Brooklyn Heights.
