Wonderful Adam Curtis parody
I love the documentarian Adam Curtis, so I was delighted to find this exquisite parody of his work. Enjoy.

For the price of a pack of Bubble Yum, you could own my parody of "Heaven Is For Real."

Monday, May 16, 2011
This morning, Boingboing.com alerted me to an interesting development: a tongue-in-cheek parody of a children’s book called Go the Fuck To Sleep has reached #1 on Amazon.com, before it’s even been published. Apparently pirated PDFs are circulating, and people are preordering it like it’s crack. The publisher has been smart enough to max out the [...]

Thursday, May 12, 2011
I’m working on a new parody with a religious bent, and found this British talk show quite worthwhile. When they didn’t talk over each other. (The former Bishop of Rochester is a douchebag.)

Monday, August 9, 2010
The Harry Potter parody. First self-published in 2002, Barry Trotter has gone on to sell over 750,000 copies in 20 languages worldwide. Guaranteed to be no more Satanic than the books it was based upon.

Sunday, June 27, 2010
This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Sung to the tune of the song of the same name. (I blame MAD Magazine for making my brain do this.) “You never give me your money I have to suffer through your crazy bullshit If you knuckles were less narcissistic You’d work it out. The one I pity is Ringo Of the lot of [...]

Friday, June 11, 2010
Here’s a pretty good parody of the Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water” by Steve Goodie. The topic? Take a guess. By the way, I looked at several “Downfall” parodies related to the BP oil spill in the Gulf, but none of them seemed quite up to snuff. As well-crafted as Steve’s parody song is, it makes [...]
Continue reading...YouTube, Downfall parodies, and me
Thursday, May 6, 2010
If you’re reading this, you doubtless know about the “Downfall meme”—a running joke on the internet where a segment of the 2004 movie “Downfall” is used to express real or feigned outrage at something important or not so. Bruno Ganz, playing an embunkered Adolf Hitler, freaks out at his generals not over the conduct of [...]

Thursday, March 25, 2010
I had a girlfriend once who loved Weird Al Yankovic. I mean, like, saw him in concert. Several times. Of course it didn’t work out. What does it say when we all know the hackneyed forms of media so well we can parody them exactly, but stop there? This is a key problem with much [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
