Parody and satire are a certain kind of humour. They're VERY easy to do because you just base them off real, already existing things, then you twist it a bit to add humour and make it ridiculous. But that's where it gets tricky! Satire is a parody of a real situation rather than fictional, it tends to have a harder edge. Where it usually goes wrong is that people mistake it for something straight, i.e. NOT satire, not comedy, not exaggeration or ridicule. The two main approaches to parody are a broad satire of a genre, like Princess Bride on fairytale fantasy, or a more targeted approach like Spaceballs which satirised Star Wars, and things in between like Airplane, which made fun of the film Zero Hour but also used it as a chance to parody the disaster movie genre and include a shotgun approach to pop-cultural jokes, making fun of everything happening in the 1970s. When I was growing up Mad Magazine movie parody comics were always a fave of mine, I'd prefer them to the actual movies they made fun off. The art was amazing with great caricatures and the humour was always very cheeky. Asterix was another comic series I enjoyed, which involved a lot of historical satirical humour. One big issue with that kind of targeted humour though is that it's often very dependent on its references for the jokes to fully work, so if you lack familiarity with them it won't bite as hard or sometimes not at all. The trick is to include enough of the context for context dependant jokes so that they can work regardless. If you do your job well enough people will not even remember the original and your satire or parody will completely stand on its own! In our Quackcast we even covered things that become self parodies like the Deadpool Marvel Movies, some of the Roger More James Bond films, the late horror franchise films like Nightmare on Elm street, Friday the 13th and so on. What are some of your fave parodies or satires? I think Princess Bride, the Life of Brian, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs are real standouts. But things like Lego Batman, Not Another Teen Movie, and even The Toxic Avenger have their own place. On that last one: Lloyd Kaufman is like a B-movie parody version of Mel Brooks, Mel does the A-list parodies and satires and Lloyd handles the crazier, gross and kinky low budget ones Mel wouldn't touch LOL! Of course Meet The Spartans is the best parody ever, so much better than The 300.

much as I hate to share any personal details on the program, I do think it is fair to warn listeners that I have begun a full scale remodel of TRHTFLTH's studios and offices, a mission whose tasks will include but not be limited to foundation repair, new chandeliers (the previous ones were nearly 18 months old) and sandblasting some offensive graffiti from the side of my garage.  Though after watching a series of HOUSE VS. EXCAVATOR videos last night on YouTube (til about 7am) , I am not ruling out BULLDOZING THE ENTIRE PREMISES and allowing Dutch Bros. Coffee to erect a drive-thru franchise on the lot. While this would effectively render me with nowhere to sleep (or produce the show), the free coffee (+ pissing off my neighbors) is pretty compelling. That and the hundreds of thousands of dollars from Dutch Bros.  It's all on the table.

Seattle man, Steve Irwin, known for repeated attempts to establish a makeshift mining operation in Dr. Jose Rosal Park, has been arrested yet again. Irwin's latest antics involve using an excavator to dig for gold and construct a cabin within the park, leading to his third arrest in six months for violating a no-entry order. Despite his family's pleas for mental health and addiction treatment, Irwin continues to defy legal constraints, reflecting broader issues with how liberal cities manage such cases. His mother, having not seen him for years and only becoming aware of his predicament through media, insists on rehabilitation over incarceration. This case underlines the failures in addressing the root causes of homelessness and mental health crises, especially in cities like Seattle. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message
