A new ripoff of an old classic
Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?
if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
It's a parody
It's not a parody. It's a homage
it's not a hoe-midge, it's an oh-marge
It's not an oh-marge, it's ho-mahg-ee.
its not a ho, Marge. Gee, she's a real person.
It's not a homage, it's just the exact same joke.
But updated for our new hellscape!
How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.
quoth wikipedia: "A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation." ... "The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said 'parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.'"
yeah, and that’s not a parody.
