Are parodies dead?

[Barlow]

Remember there was a new parody movie every month and those parody music videos used to dominate youtube

I think that nikka who made the gay versions of rap songs killed it

YouTube algorithm

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Nope as long as this forum is live and kicking
The amount of weirdos, idiot savants, smart dumb nikkas, Oswald Bates ass nikkas on here
Thecoli is the greatest parody going right now

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Yeah. Parody movies from yesteryear are too close to reality now

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Actual real life is better than the parodies now. There’s really no point like how SNL tries to make a real life event funny on their show but it ends up being way worse.

Remember when they’d do parody songs on the radio morning shows?

It's the same all over various forms of media in general.

Parody movies are hard to pull off now because of social media.

Like I said I think the Wayans Brothers should make a Squid Game parody but what’s the point if someone on social media can make several videos a day later vs the Wayans doing a whole studio production that comes out a year later?

Good. Those shyts were always corny

cheap and low hanging fruit humor. The movies at least.

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

They’ll come back after the Web gets regulated

 

[concise]

yea

How Trump changed everything for The Onion

Exactly. I used to say The Simpsons didn't fall off. Reality just caught up to where it's stranger than satire.

Friedberg and Seltzer killed all that shyt ten years ago.

I'd love to see them come back but they'd have to be The Naked Gun/Don't Be a Menace level classic, not that Disaster Movie "we're not even trying" bullshyt

So I don't think it's dead forever necessarily but with how the world and society is going, the satirists now gotta approach it from a different angle. It's like everything is so over the top now that you'd have to go subtle? Or maybe go so over the top that it makes the over the top shyt in real life look normal? I don't really know lol.
