Spoofs, Parodies & Fun-Pokers

Linda McGuire says:
	"So brutally accurate, it doesn't matter that there's no such band. I think this is Guest/McKean/Shearer's most shining moment--but there's more of these guys' work on this list!"

Linda McGuire says:
	"Targeting sci-fi geeks has been done to death. This flick skewers the actors! Casting Sigorney Weaver was brilliant; she creates a perfect caricature of herself."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Click & vote to get this sucker released, already! The animated Tick series was a hilarious spoof of every super hero invented. The Tick is a legend in his own mind, but still lovable."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Another Christopher Guest classic, with the return of many of the Tap cast. This time they take on the dog show subculture and hound it into submission. Smell the glove, indeed."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Snobby rich Peter Sellers adopts Ringo Starr as heir, and they go forth tweaking the knobs of other rich snobby Brits in bowler hats. What's not to love?"

Linda McGuire says:
	"Don't bother with the theatrical version; watch the director's cut. Then watch the "Making Of" documentary. The movie ramrods the British bureaucracy; Gilliam ramrods the Hollywood studio system."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Live action Fractured Fairy Tale. Princess Buttercup does an even better "gasface" than agent Scully's."

Linda McGuire says:
	"On the surface, this film seems juvenile and silly (note the liberal use of fart humor). But there are some great hidden gags, Shakespearean references, pokes at other shows... read the Amazon trivia!"

Linda McGuire says:
	"Another Ben Stiller vehicle which could have fallen flat if it weren't for Owen Wilson's performance as hippy-model to balance Stiller's dumb-as-toast-model."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Long as we're lauding Owen Wilson... put him with Jackie Chan in a Western and turn them loose! (Too bad the sequel didn't catch the magic of this one.)"

Linda McGuire says:
	"The definitive defective detective has to be Peter Sellers; this is police parody at its best. Dreyfus' disappearing act is unforgettable!"

Linda McGuire says:
	"Anyone who's ever been stuck in cubical-land will howl at this. So will anyone who's waited tables. We all know the world is full of I-D-Ten-Ts, may as well laugh about it."

Linda McGuire says:
	"Truth is, I haven't seen every episode. But Dilbert belongs on this list, especially next to "Office Space." (This collection is on my wish list!)"

Linda McGuire says:
	"Had to be here. There's nothing these guys DON'T skewer. (My personal favorite is the exploding penguin.)"
