Does anyone secretly like parody threads?

[SlowSpyder]

I kind of do...

Post here and be liberated if you enjoy parodies!

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Sorry, but nope. I don't like parody movies either.

 

[spidey07]

Must...not...post parody of this thread.

I kinda like them, especially when folks don't realize it's a parody.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Perhaps if there were ever a good parody thread in OT I might enjoy it...

Loved the one where the service worker spilled oil all over the drive. I think it was oil.

Anyone remember?

 

[IronWing]

No secret about it, I love parody threads. As long as they aren't stupid.

 

[zokudu]

It has to be a good parody thread. Then I love them. Bad ones suck.

 

[dullard]

I like parody threads when it is explicitly clear in the OP that it is a parody. Otherwise the parody and the host threads get separated and it is just a mess - especially if you haven't looked at the forums in a few days.

Also, the parody has to actually be realistic AND humerous. It is a tall order, but when a parody meets that list, I like it.

 

[waffleironhead]

I prefer parroty threads.

 

[highland145]

Who posted the one about being robbed of $1k by a 14 year old girl?

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Zero issues with them.

 

[dpodblood]

I do as long as it's funny. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

 

[sandorski]

If I do, admitting it here would nullify the "secret" part.

No comment.

I think I've seen 2 quality parodies over the 2 years I've been hanging around OT. Most of them suck, and aren't worth the server space, or bandwidth to post them.

 

[RedRooster]

It should be a bannable offense. If creating a parody thread ever does, I will start enjoying them.

 

[blackdogdeek]

i like good ones. unfortunately, most are awful.

the best one i've ever seen was the oil spill on the driveway that highland referenced.

The original.

it's even worth it to read the original first. there's so much self-pwnage, thread backfire in it.

 

[olds]

I love party threads.

 

[shortylickens]

Nope.
And most of the original threads are annoying as well.
