BRIEF: In 'Back to the Future' parody, Cubs wins revoked

Oct. 16--As the Cubs have advanced through the playoffs this year, some have pointed out the 1989 movie "Back to the Future Part II" predicted the Cubs would win the World Series in 2015.

These superfans probably won't like CollegeHumor's animated parody, which was posted Wednesday. The satire reimagines the time-travel trip taken by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to Oct. 21, 2015.

But in this version, the Cubs have their wins revoked because of steroids scandal.

"The whole sport of baseball is in pretty dire condition," the animated Brown tells McFly. "It's been struggling to find new fans and rampant drug use has tarnished the game."

Plus, people don't have self-tying sneakers prophecied in the original movie. They wear Crocs.

"It looks like a clog (expletive) swiss cheese," says the animated McFly. "Smells like it too."
