Since it debuted last week, a spoof video for Twitteleh is rising fast, with close to 200,000 views on YouTube. It’s one of the many parodies of the popular microblogging service, Twitter, which attracts them the way it attracts valuation-mad VCs.

Today, Twitter’s investors are in rainy San Francisco for a board meeting of the hyped microblogging service, where they will presumably discuss revenue options that the start-up keeps promising are coming soon. Right now, Twitter has no revenues. Well, why wait? As with BoomTown’s 100-Day Yahoo Countdown, which was initiated here after former Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said he was taking that many days to rethink Yahoo from top to bottom, it’s just about time for a Twitter Count-Up to come up with some ka-ching ideas.

The first is from “The Daily Show” earlier this week, in which Samantha Bee perfectly mocks products from iRobot–best known for the automatic vacuum called the Roomba–as killerbots. In the second, local Chicago anchors from WGN News, Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange, do a very impressive Las Vegas-style routine during the commercial break. It is hard to look away.
