TV host Jimmy Kimmel has once again taken a large cast of famous actors in creating a video spoof that is aired shortly after the Oscars, something he's done for the past years to great success and which is slowly turning into an eagerly awaited tradition.

This year, Kimmel decided to play on one of the most watched viral videos in the history of the Internet, aptly called “Charlie bit my finger,” a video about a young boy who gets his finger bitten by his toddler brother, which prompts him to exclaim, “Ouch, that hurts, Charlie!”

The role of the “Bitman” is played by Liam Hemsworth, and the role of the brother is played by real-life brother Chris Hemsworth. Kimmel decided to play the entire thing out as a revenge plot, 30 years later.

Additional roles are played by Meryl Streep, as the mother, and Tom Hanks as the monk keeping guard over the Bitman in the monastery dungeon. Though not as star-packed as his spoofs from previous years, Kimmel's “Bitman Begins” is funny nonetheless and worth watching just for seeing the Hemsworth brother's doing the skit in their native Aussie accents.

The Batman reference should also get a nod from superhero fans.
