Galaxy Quest!
Still the best star trek movie
By Grabthar’s Hammer…
Gintama.
Took me a while to realize the whole post-war samurai living in an era of peace premise was just Kenshin but with aliens.
Amish paradise. I find the song better than the original(s)
Also the Weird Al style parodies. Dog Eat Dog is one of the best Talking Heads songs ever.
Man, thank you for adding that (s).
Stinks that almost no one knows Gangster’s Paradise is a remake.
Nobody every mentions “I Think I’m a Clone Now”.
I can be at home while I’m out of town
Also White And Nerdy
SOA Abridged
Dragon Ball Z Abridged
Idiocracy
Idiocracy started as a parody, and is now becoming a reality.
GhatGPT will save us
Idiocracy is the only movie I’m aware of that was released as a comedy and became a horror movie.
Idiocracy has transitioned from pessimistic take to optimistic. At least in Idiocracy everybody listened to the smart one and enacted changes that helped.
Blur - Song 2 was intended as a parody of American rock and is laden with nonsense lyrics. It’s their most known song in America by a wide margin and might even be their most known song globally.
Woohoo
American here. I first heard this in the soundtrack for FIFA 98 or 99
This happens every time an artist does a parody of popular music, see also Smells Like Teen Spirit and You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party. Turns out music that’s in a popular style tends to be popular 🤔
You could say fans of the song might need to get thier head checked by a jumbo jet, even though it won’t be easy.
Nothing is
woohoo!
I got my head shaved. It was easy though as I’ve done it countless times.
Idiocracy.
Yugi Oh The Abridged Series
Sword Art Online Abridged.
Same should be said for DBZ Abridged. I seriously do a double take every time I see an original episode now, as the voice actors and characterizations from Abridged have replaced the canon ones in my head.
Bugs Bunny far surpassed It Happened One Night. His manner of speaking, saying “doc,” and his obsession with carrots are a direct parody of Clark Gable’s character from that movie, but modern audiences don’t realize he’s a parody at all and instead assume the carrot thing it based on rabbits’ real dietary preferences.
now i gotta go watch that movie. it apparently cause undershirt sales to sharply decline
Spaceballs.
Merchandising! Merchandising! Spaceballs the t-shirt! Spaceballs the lunchbox! Spaceballs the FLAMETHROWER!!! The kids love this one.
Cunk - parodying Attenborough and cosmos style docs
Starship troopers - more of an active ignorance of source material
Happy Gilmore
Starship troopers - more of an active ignorance of source material
It can be pretty telling how someone reacts to Starship Troopers being what it is, and I love it for that.
Gotta squash them bugs
Kung pow: enter the fist
Steve Oedekerk, the writer/star of King pow: enter the fist, is amazing in every way - especially if you were consuming media in the 90s. He
- wrote and directed when nature calls
- cowrote the nutty professor
- wrote including Patch Adams
- wrote Nutty Professor II: The Klumps - wrote and directed Bruce Almighty
- created thumbnation
- executive produced Jimmy Neutron and his studio gave us two Jimmy Neutron movies
I weirdly dislike most of these things. Nature calls was fine.
Still glad people found joy in his work though. Obviously talented.
Kung pow is one of my favorites. Ironically my wife hates it, but loves when nature calls.
Weird Al’s White And Nerdy, so much better than Ridin Dirty.
Not really a parody but “happy but beats 2 and 4 are swapped.”
The truth is this: oof!
