That is NOT what happened in our conversation. Damn gideongallery. Are you even existing in the real world? Go back and READ what I said about REAL comedians having an art and a craft and that they would find downfall funny but would not in their professional opinions consider it to be true parody. And then I gave you the examples of professional parodies and pointed out that even though downfall is funny...it only required a person to have a funny idea, nothing more. Nothing new was created and it required no skills.

And then I pointed out that you don't have the skill set to do a REAL parody.

Look gideongallery...you could sample a guitar playing and call it "creating" music and the courts would agree with you. As a REAL musician I would say you didn't "create" anything.

Get it? Or are you just pretending to be this damn stupid for my entertainment?

Putting words over film footage that somebody else CREATED doesn't take any talent or require the effort needed to acquire the skill set necessary to shoot the footage in the first place.

And yet you praise that to high heaven and ignore the examples I gave of REAL creative parody such as SNL skits, Weird Al, and the Hustler parody series.

You truly are at the lowest levels aren't you?
