Facing The Truth Of A Parody Documentary

By Marci Nielsen


Many times two things might look the same yet be very different when looked at more closely. This is true of a parody documentary that looks like a real show with truthful information but is not anywhere near the real thing. This is why it is important for television viewers to know the difference so that they will not take the show meant for humor too seriously.

In order to do this, it is important for a viewer to know how to tell the difference between a show that is satirical and one that is based on truth. The one that is true is usually based on what is actually taking place at the time. There are usually journalists involved who make it their business to find the truth about the story they are researching.

One way to tell the difference is by knowing the style of a well-known reporter or researcher when they are presenting their work. In that way when someone creates a satire or an exaggerated style of the real show, it will be easier to tell the difference between the two. The viewer will be able to say that they know the real reporter will never say or do something so extreme.

Since a comedy show follows that same style of the real program, it can be easy to think that it is real especially for those who are used to taking these shows seriously. However, it is only harder to tell the difference if it is well done and of the same serious tone as the real show. Otherwise, using the same genre in a different light can be quite obvious.

This is all done to create a show that is funny. Yet, many times flaws in the real show can be exaggerated in certain scenarios for an even more humorous effect. So a person watching might think something is funny at first, but then when they think a little bit deeper they might realize that there was a certain amount of truth in what was considered a joke.

However, even something that is meant to be funny can still be offensive to some people. They might be upset at the fact that they took the show seriously when all the while it was a joke. They might also think that no one should create a satirical program that uses serious issues as a way to create something that is entertaining.

Some people just do not like to be fooled in any way. However, most people welcome these types of programs because they show that the person behind them is creative and knows how to see things in a different light. It also takes a certain set of skills to be able to pull these shows off effectively. One also has to know the material they are working with really well.

This means they have to know the material they are working with. It takes a talented individual to create something that looks like the real thing but yet is different in so many ways. This is what causes so many people around the world to be amazed at what they see and entertained at the same time.
