So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.
I see parody as another form of comedy.
I think to simply make fun of something isn't particularly interesting. I try to not just do a parody of something or belittle something or disparage something.
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
I think a lot of the time you just parody yourself.
I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.
I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.
You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature.
I love the satire and skewering of comedy writing.
By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.
