Watch: 'Hacks' Star Meg Stalter Brings Back 'Hi Gay!' Meme Parody of Corporate Pride Campaigns

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

It's that time of the year again when corporate companies attempt to do their best to come out and show support for LGBTQ people during Pride Month. Some of it is cute but most of it is cringe, and "Hacks" star Meg Stalter is making fun of it all in a sequel to the "Hi Gay!" meme, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Stalter started the series as a way to satirize the co-opting of LGBTQ culture, and it has sense taken off.

As a fictional employee of the Butter Shop, Stalter preps the fictional store for its latest Pride campaign aimed at courting community dollars without a complete grasp on queer culture.

"Hi gay, happy Pride Month! We're back at the Butter Shop, queens, and we go goo-goo, ga-ga for gay," Stalter says in the viral clip. "Hey, on a scale from normal sex to ass play, we're more lesbian than ever. We love lesbian, you queer thang."

Stalter then proceeds to introduce the store's new Pride flavors: "Sassy Cinnamon," "Hickory Hickey From a Guy," and "Eat Me Out, Amber, Cheddar."

Also, for a limited time only, the fictional store will offer a free gift: a tiny tree, which Stalter says you can use "with your bisexual partner for Christmas sex."

Stalter's first parody posted in June last year (below) gained nearly 57,000 likes on Twitter and 1.3 million views.

"We think that gay people are okay, at least for the next 30 days," Stalter says at the end of the clip before putting on a pair of rainbow sunglasses. "If I didn't like queer, would I wear these? Also, I lit a candle for every person that I know that looked gay. So, whether you're a lipstick lesbian or a butch, stop by the Butter Shop and take a look."

See the new funny clip below and catch Stalter on season 2 of "Hacks" on HBO as the delightfully dim-witted assistant "Kayla."
