I completely agree with this, actually, very well-put. Satirizing the concept and act of protest. It’s like - like the “OK” thumb-and-forefinger symbol - or like Trump saying, you know, bleach/disinfectant and light to kill the virus, then saying he was being sarcastic to see if the press would pick up on it and…

Hey, look what I just found out reading the “Carol Burnett Show” Wikipedia page!

Honestly, I think MAD and Carol Burnett Show really had consistently good movie parodies, some of the best. I think in both cases, it was because the writers really knew the source material, so the parody wasn’t just full of random jokes - rather the humor was very specific to the film being spoofed. As a result, they…

MAD magazine parodies and Carol Burnett Show spoofs - they both count!

They get started out of literally nothing. They get started and persist out of a desire to denigrate completely the character and accomplishments and potential accomplishments of the hated race. I mean...see “Obama, Barack”...

Who “gave up everything” to “answer the call of his country” and is being “unfairly persecuted” “just like Jesus”, and also his “wife is classy”.

If your cock is being stretched, you might be doing it wrong. Or right?

Lately?

I mean “...I don’t put a VARIETY of things up my butt...”. Apologies for the confusion! Because and also, now that I think of it, that may not be a particularly...true statement.

I legit want to see it, a lot. I don’t put a LOT of things up my butt, but I’ve had friends who...do. So the idea of wanting to see a movie with this plot, especially one that looks pretty good, isn’t really that much of a (let me see if I can do this right)…

Which song is it?

I think there is SOME of that, honestly - popularity, especially enormous popularity, does tend to perpetuate itself to a degree. As in, a lot of “1" sold because, no doubt, it was a safe gift for a lot of people. But I don’t think that could account for the Beatles’ continued popularity with new listeners.

If I remember correctly (I truly can’t believe how long ago it was), it was then rescheduled opposite The Big Bang Theory, wasn’t it? I had been watching them both (I think Big Bang was much better, or at least more enjoyable, the first couple seasons), and when the move was announced I was torn between which I would…

Oh my god. I’ve heard the “rough on the beaver” joke a million times...and still had to read your post a couple of times to see “Beaver Cleaver”. He did have an awfully big head, come to think of it...

Oh, I also love, inordinately I suppose, when a gun is emptied at an invulnerable object, and then thrown at the still-advancing object. It’s just so...futile, and natural a thing to do, I love it.

“Galaxy Quest”! That was one of the other examples I was thinking of. I still can’t remember the other.

I’m fine with paying a few dollars to Amazon or Google to rent a movie also. I just haven’t been able yet to bring myself to pay for a subscription to any of the video streaming services - this is because, I guess, I am...uh...”classic”. Meaning I remember when cable tv was introduced, and how the idea of paying for…

“Oh yeah, Catwoman’s a jewel thief!”

I don’t know of a ton of examples, though I’m sure there are more than I could think of, but I love when a previously fictitious character or world is shown to exist in the “real” world. “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” is my favorite - I was never a fan of the original NOES movies, but when the young son in New Nightmare…

I went crazy with Netflix dvd rental when it was first introduced - saw literally every movie I’d been reading about in the TimeOut Film Guide over the previous ten years. I don’t remember them not having anything I wanted to see, though now that I think about it what I wanted was primarily old Hollywood films,…
