[edit] Film parodies

I'm planing to make a table out of the list in this section (because the list gets messy if we include the actors) and I was wondering if it'd be all right to add links to corresponding videos available on YouTube? What's the public opinion on this? --Koveras 12:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Next question: apparently, in 2000, this video was featured. Can someone identify which films are being spoofed here? I can only recognize Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within ("The dream is always the same" codephrase). --Koveras 20:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


I remember these sequences and I believe I have all of them identified. All of that year's spoofs came from teen movies, so I don't think a reference to Final Fantasy was implied. They are (in order):

The actors featured in the parodies were Alyson Hannigan, Jaime Pressly, Chris Owen, and either Jerry or Charlie O'Connell, I can't tell which. I can add it once I figure out which brother it was.

[edit] Earliest spoofs

The film parodies predated the 1995 show. For example, the 1993 show featured film recreations using actors from The Brady Bunch. The only two I can remember off the top of my head were for Basic Instinct and Malcolm X. It'd be nice to get the rest of the clips filled in, if possible.

I have added the aforementioned 2000 amalgam to the list, however, I need a comprehensive list of movies spoofed by year to include them, like in this form: 
* YEAR - Spoofed Movie #1 (actors involved, optional), Spoofed Movie #2 (optional)
etc. :) --Koveras 13:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


Sorry, but I'm reverting your latest edit, because the jury's still out on which O'Connell appeared in the clips and I don't think the notes I added in my talk page analysis should be included in the main article. Plus, through some further research, I've found that these clips aired during the 1999 show, not 2000's.

Jesus Christ, why don't you people pay any attention to the fact, that often more than one thing is edited, before you revert! It's not you in particular, Pumpkingrrl, but you could have also noticed that I've also made some cosmetic edits. As for the O'Connel guy, you can always edit the part after you are sure. You analysis is important, as is any piece of relevant information. Plus, it's quite easy to move the entry from 2000 row to 1999. --Koveras ☭ 12:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm not trying to get into a RV war so, if it bothers you that much, go ahead and replace the info I removed. However, I think listing the names of the included films is sufficient. It's unnecessary to include a precise identification of each and every movie reference in the montage, the same way that a feature-length movie is best described by a synopsis instead of a blow-by-blow reproduction. The information's still here on the Talk page if anyone's interested. As far as the O'Connell issue, why would you want to include something that hasn't been verified? Pumpkingrrl 08:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Partly unverified information is better than no information at all. At the very least, we can just include the names of the actors you've identified definitely. --Koveras ☭ 10:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
You wouldn't edit a film article to say that role was played by either Tom Hanks or George Clooney. I don't see how this is any different. It's better to not add that bit of info until it's verified. Pumpkingrrl 19:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Solved the issue by listing only the positively identified actors - it is OK, since some entries have no actors listed at all. --Koveras ☭ 15:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
