bloodyrosemccoyDear Parody Writers Of Today:
Remember Airplane!?
Here’s why it was funny:
None of the characters in it acted like they were in a parody.*
Please, the next time you want to make a hilarious take on your favorite genre, for the love of god don’t have the characters pause for laughs or remark upon the absurdity of the situation they're in, and don’t have the music play in traditional “Haw haw this is a funny kooky part” style.
And please, I beg of you, if you have any decency in your souls, never make a ___ Movie movie again.
(This message brought to you by a disappointed viewer of the first episode of Krod Mandoon. It could have been funny. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FUNNY.)
*We will make an exception for Johnny because everyone else in the actual movie thought he was off his trolley. (I … identify a lot with Johnny.)
