par·o·dy [par-uh-dee] noun, plural par·o·dies, verb, par·o·died, par·o·dy·ing. noun 1. a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing: his hilarious parody of Hamlet's soliloquy. 2. the genre of literary composition represented by such imitations. 3. a burlesque imitation of a musical composition. 4. any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc. 5. the use in the 16th century of borrowed material in a musical setting of the Mass (parody Mass)
This is not a parody. This is a clip from a cheesy TV show with dramatic music overlayed. I can deal with the misspelling of simple words and the ridiculous grammar, but my mother taught me at a young age not to use words if I don't understand their meaning.
Thanks for the comments guys, especially @couriergrrrrl! I always judge whether I'm going to watch a video posted by Enty by reading other reader's comments so I'll be sitting this one out :)
I Actually watched this show when it was on. I remembered this episode right away. No it is not a parody, it is a dramatic version. They added a gun shot at the end. Which wasn't in the show. I laughed the whole time. But that's because I watched it originally.
It's trying to say that pot's no big deal, that it shouldn't be treated this seriously. I couldn't agree more. Here's the problem. The all drugs are bad campaign doesn't work. Marijuana isn't bad, it isn't unsafe, it just makes you hungry, happy, sleepy. It's not the same as coke, meth and heroin. If kids try pot and realise that the government and their parents have been lieing to them that all drugs are dangerous then they can easily think that well pot is not so bad, maybe meth isn't so bad. Legalize it!
Is the "funny" part that it's set to music? Is this a real scene from the show? I don't think I get it.
ReplyDeleteOh the drama. I don't get it...
