Question

What if the movie I'm spoofing is considered to be bad?

Community Answer

Isn't that the reason your spoofing it? People make parodies and satires to mock or make fun of a bad piece of media. Because your movie is bad, it makes it easy to point out flaws and make jokes about it. Even if it's not bad, there are always aspects to parody.

Question

I am writing a spoof play, how do I go about choosing a title?

Community Answer

Imagine you are trying to recall the name of the original. Think of words that sound the same as the real title, but have a different meaning. If you get stuck, try looking up the words in the real title in a rhyming dictionary.

Question

What do I do if I have writer's block?

Community Answer

Watch some of the movies that your genre is parodying. Most of the time you will catch something funny that you can use in your spoof. If you can't come up with anything, then you might want to switch genres.

Question

Is it okay for my spoof to include things like character development, tension, etc.?

Community Answer

Every drama has its comic relief, and every comedy has its tension. It is 100% okay if spoofs in comedy have tense or even sad scenes.
