For what it's worth, I thought it was funny if snarky, and a pretty competent parody. It's not as funny as Alicorn's comment about spelling Yudkowsky's name correctly, though.
I found it unfunny and unpleasant because it's (1) entirely devoid of subtlety, (2) mean-spirited (the underlying message is something between "Yudkowsky is breathtakingly arrogant" and "LW people are gullible hero-worshipping fools", right?), (3) unnecessary because so far as I can see the sort of hero-worship this is mocking is nonexistent on LW and Eliezer, while doubtless arrogant, isn't close to that arrogant, and (4) boring because there's nothing in it but the one-note point-and-laugh parodying.
(I suppose I should qualify #4 a bit. The framing in terms of a trolley problem with 3^^^3 people on one side of it is very slightly amusing.)
