Best Parodies of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption Tease

By James Kozanitis

Here are the best parodies created from Rockstar's newest Red Dead image:

    rnAnd, in case the previous image wasn't subtle enough, here we have a more blunt approach, also touching on the idea that this may not be the tease we all want it to be.
