I was going through the TAZ steeplechase tag and I was like who tf is schlabethany. She’s not a main character. Then I got to her episode and I was like OH. That’s exactly what she says to introduce herself btw.

RomCom Movie Idea: Widower Actor Dads (played by Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins) that have been best friends forever that when their wives die in a horrible accident help eachother through the grief and eventually find out they're in love with eachother. But thats not the plot of the movie. The actual plot is that their daughters are getting lesbian married and they've been in the closet the whole time because they've been putting it off until the kids were ready which ok kinda makes sense I guess but even when the daughters came out they didnt want to steal their moment but they kept putting it off until one day the daughters come home from college to announce their wedding and so dad a is like "nows the time" and dad b agrees but then daughter a anounces that shes marrying daughter b before the dads get the chance to come clean and again they dont wanna steal their moment once again so they resign to wait until after the wedding but dad b is basically living with dad a now and so until they come out its a minor problem but dad b decides he wants to give the daughters his house as a wedding present when they finally do but until then they are in a pickly wickly predicament. So its really just wedding shenanigans and trying to keep The Secret (that could the the title of the movie; also maybe its too long for a movie and should be a show instead) and occasional flash backs to their relationship throughout the years until everything comes to a screeching halt on the wedding night at the reception cuz the dads sneak away and the daughters go looking for them and come across a couple getting hot and heavy in a closet only to open to tell them to move it along ("this is a wedding not a porn set") only to find out its their dads so its a big thing that the daughters are mad cuz the dads never told them but its quickly resolved (and maybe the daughters feel bad that the dads were gonna come out to them but didnt want to dim the daughters spotlight and resigned to waiting again and when the daughters hear the dads say that the daughters feel sad but really loved because of course their dads would sacrifice their own happiness for theirs, they always have) in time for a tabloid to come out with the scandal and for them to all hold a united front and the dads to say in an interview that they're not ashamed to be together (just a little embarrassed about the incident and wished it wasnt publicized, "it was probably Rhonda" "I never liked her") and when asked why they were in the closet so long "we said for the kids and we believed that excuse for a while -and also the excuse that we just kept putting it off for a more convenient time or when we wouldn't be taking the spotlight off the girls- but really we were just scared" and things die down eventually and they decide to get married too and their daughters walk them down the aisle (going full circle). And then their daughters adopt and they get to be gay grandpas together.

(Honestly its really just a cockles/destiel au fanfic and to be on the nose Jensen's character is named Misha Ackles and Misha's is Jensen Collins, or more subtly Jensen's is Ross Collins and Misha's is Nic Ackles.)

Theory of the final game changer @samreich :

Is it the amazing race? If so please do not tell me. I will assume that it will be played out in a scavenger hunt in a large affordable hotel chain and not throughout the peaks and valleys of the Chilean mountains.

I AM FULLY FUCKING PUUUUMMPED!

possibly untapped market in anime: mockumentaries/fake-reality tv. think about it. talking head portions would be so easy to animate. if it worked with tdi it’ll work with anime won’t it

Not the first reality show spoof, but possibly the best yet

Metro by T-Mobile has 5 episodes of a spot-on reality show spoof. The lighting, camera angles, casting, and editing are perfect.

They had to invest more time and money to get over seven minutes of content rather than one minute's worth, but it looks like the gamble is paying off.

The 5 episodes are averaging a million views each and they're getting some free buzz on social. But they also get commercials that work on their own to share with a mass audience.

Full playlist here. 60-second spot here (well, a 68-second cut)

Match Made in England

Following the success of the women's world cup and the ongoing struggles of juggling both fame, football and their relationship, Jude and Y/N set up a tv series.

A/N: ok so i kinda had this idea for a little while but this is kinda like a little spoof spinoff of the World Class series and each "episode" is like a little update into their life, with snippets as if they are hosting a tv reality show. If you have any requests on what episodes you would like to have posted on here pls let me know :)

A tv show created by two lovers that happen to both play for the england football team 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You sit next to your window in your two-bedroom apartment, a cup of coffee steaming up over the rainy exterior. The sound of raindrops tapping against the glass creates a soothing rhythm, blending with the soft hum of the city outside. Your mind drifts as you watch the rain cascade down, each droplet carrying with it a piece of your thoughts.

Lost in the tranquility of the moment, you reflect on the past week, the challenges at work, and the unexpected encounter with an old friend. The city lights blur in the distance, their reflection shimmering on the wet streets below.

You take a slow sip of your coffee, savoring the warmth that spreads through your body.The apartment, though small, feels like a sanctuary. Bookshelves line the walls, filled with stories waiting to be explored. A faint aroma of vanilla and cinnamon from a nearby candle mingles with the rich scent of coffee, creating a comforting atmosphere.

As the rain continues to fall, you feel a sense of calm wash over you. Despite the hustle and bustle of life, these quiet moments remind you of the simple joys that make each day worth living. With a contented sigh, you lean back, ready to embrace whatever the evening brings.It had been six months since winning the World Cup and your world had been an absolute spin. TV interview after TV interview, magazine photoshoots, ongoing pestering rumors about your relationship with Jude—everything had felt like a whirlwind, one which never stopped. And now, the BBC had asked to start a reality TV show about your and Jude's life.

At first, you were hesitant, preferring the shielded safety of your private life together. But then, as reminded by your new PA, Emily, people had never been more interested in the women's game, and this was a huge step forward, likening it to other docu-series like Beckham.You let out a deep sigh, watching the rain continue to blur the cityscape outside your window. The idea of opening up your life to the public felt both thrilling and terrifying.

You and Jude had always valued your privacy, cherishing the quiet moments away from the prying eyes of the media. But Emily's words echoed in your mind—this could be a pivotal moment for women's sports, an opportunity to inspire and connect with fans on a deeper level.

With your coffee cup now empty, you stand and stretch, feeling the weight of the decision pressing on your shoulders. You walk over to the kitchen, placing the cup in the sink, and then glance at the clock. Jude would be home soon. The thought brings a smile to your face, a reminder of the support and love that had carried you both through the chaos of the past months.As you prepare dinner, your mind races with possibilities.

The show could highlight the dedication and hard work that goes into being a professional athlete, the balance between your careers and personal lives, and the love story that had captivated so many. But it could also bring unwanted scrutiny and pressure.

The sound of the front door opening pulls you from your thoughts. Jude walks in, shaking off the rain from his jacket. His smile is warm and reassuring, and you feel a sense of calm wash over you."Hey," he says, coming over to give you a kiss. "How was your day?"You take a deep breath, ready to share the latest development.

"Busy, as usual. You?"

"Trent being his usual annoying self." You let out a laugh, your heart warmed from the unlikely England duo.

"You spoke to Em today?" Jude asks, his head rested on your shoulder as he pulls you in for a hug.

"Uh yeah, theres something we need to talk about."Jude raises an eyebrow, curious. "What's up?"

"The BBC wants to do a reality show about us. Emily thinks it's a great idea, a big step forward for the women's game. I'm just... not sure."Jude listens intently, then takes your hand.

"It's a big decision, no doubt. I'm hesitant too, honestly. But it could also be quite fun. Imagine sharing our journey, the highs and lows, with everyone. It could be something really special."

You chuckle. “Yeah, special like that time you tried to cook dinner and almost set the kitchen on fire?"Jude laughs.

"Hey, it was only a small fire. And I learned a valuable lesson: never leave pasta boiling while watching a football game.”

You grin. “Exactly. We can show people the real us, kitchen disasters and all. But seriously, we should set some boundaries. Like, no cameras before I’ve had my morning coffee.”

Jude nods. “Agreed. And no filming me when I’m singing in the shower. Nobody needs to hear that.”

You burst out laughing. “Deal. And if it ever gets too much, we can always take a break. No pressure.”

Jude grins, pulling you into a hug. “Alright then, let’s get this show on the road. We’ll need to find a good production team and start planning out the details. Think they’ll let us film in the Birmingham pub?”

You laugh. “I’m sure we can work something out. This is going to be hilarious. I can’t wait to see what crazy moments we capture.”

Jude’s expression turns thoughtful. “And we’ll need a team that can travel with us, especially since I’ll be in Madrid a lot for games. Filming in different locations could add a cool dynamic, don’t you think?”

You nod. “Absolutely! We can show different cultures, cities, and maybe even some behind-the-scenes at your matches. Plus, it gives us an excuse to travel together more.”

Jude’s eyes light up. “True, and maybe I can even get some of my teammates to make cameo appearances. Imagine the chaos!”You laugh again. “Oh god, what have I gotten myself into..."

Episodes:

Ep 1: Just two kids from England: the ups and downs of football.

Ep 2: New Beginnings: All Things Madrid

An example of a music video that influenced pop culture: Jamiroquai- Virtual Insanity

Hey everyone, I had this clip in mind for a few weeks and also had it a few years ago in my instagram feed spoofed in different pop culture references especially in internet memes by recreating the caracteristic move of Jay Kay when he is just sliding towards the camera and keep doing the same in various directions during the whole video. Jamiroquai is a Soul Funk, R&B, House band created in 1992 and was composed initially of Jay Kay as the singer, Toby Smith as the keyboardist, Rob Harris as the guitarist, Derrick McKenzie as the drumer and Wallis Buchanan as the didgeridoo player (similar to a long flute but comes from Australian Aborigenes). The video remains iconic: you have Jay Kay sliding around in a strange room covered in white boxes as I said previously, you have people (these are the other band members btw) and sofas sliding too, you have cockroaches and blood (maybe coming out of the sofas) and that's all to summarise the video. Now for the lyrics, you have this really striking element sang by Jay Kay: This dystopian future ruled by technologies and people living in an insane virtual reality (cf. the title). "Futures made of virtual insanity Now always seem to be governed by this love we have For useless twisting of our new technology Oh, now there is no sound For we all live underground" … I must admit that I did not really care for the lyrics the few times I had this song in my ears especially when you have this groovy theme that could cover your understanding and make you focus on the rhythm rather than the speaking but when you watch the video it makes sense really. As an influence in pop culture, you have the king of the cover versions named Pitbull appearing with Austin Mahone - Mmm Yeah (not the best cover you could find, not going to lie) You also have a TV Promo made by Chris Rock parodying the same move for MTV Awards. I could not list the tons of millions internet memes covering social media so I let you choose the one that suits you ! In a nutshell, Jamiroquai did find a way to get remembered as an iconic song and move not only from his lyrics but also for the several ways he has been spoofed up to now !

couldn't care less about the kardashians but from ian's view i can see it as an excuse to crossdress and/or talk about his lowkey special interest of reality tv

Okay, now see, if they do extend it to reality TV then I would like that more. If they spoofed Love is Blind and even brought back characters from the iconic well-loved Smosh Games episode - such as Toilet Wife and New York or Shayne and Straight Chanse- that would be amazing.

I also really, really want Anthony to come back as Kim Kardashian because he looks so good when he plays her and I'll be disappointed if they don't do it.

[seeyouinthesoup]

There is some brilliant planning of having the most recent Um, Actually be reality tv + most recent Play It by Ear being a soap/Grey’s spoof. If you can get someone into the service because they want to follow the drag queens, two very accessible pieces of their show are also going to be right there to watch and enjoy

[coutelier]

Did you know the creator of Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker, used to write a website called TVGoHome, which was basically just spoof TV listings like this:

He quit it because he said reality TV was becoming more absurd than anything he could make up.

Wonder if he'll quit Black Mirror now we live in a world now where Disney have argued that they can kill people if they've used their streaming service. Could he really imagine a more hellish dystopia?

[courtney-deserved-better]

Might be weird to put my analysis here but i just wanted to share: i think it's rly interesting how the new season was modified to be a spoof of 2020s reality tv rather than late 2000s reality tv like the first season, in the sense that almost all the characters are hyper-aware of where they are and what they're doing in a way the other seasons' characters just weren't before (excluding alejandro who's just... like that xD). They didn't watch total drama for the first time as teens like the past casts; they were raised and shaped by media like it since they were kids, and are all very privy to how it's supposed to go (also as an aside it's crazy how, based on the math, they were probably born around the time season 1 came out). Bowie and Julia are self-aware abt being the villains. Priya has been training for the show her whole life. Millie points out all the reality tv gold the contestants provide and laughs at it all. MK knows how the audience and society perceive her and uses that to her advantage. Damien was at a huge disadvantage because he had never watched the show. They're all molded by reality tv and social media and know the rules so to speak, instead of just being fame-hungry stereotypes like the prior casts, simply because that's more in line with how these shows work nowadays. Ppl are way more aware of how fake reality tv is now and that's usually observed by how newer casts behave, and how they're less likely to make up a simple character for themselves, but instead be honest abt their strategy and emotions for the sake of the storyline. It's a pretty effective update in that sense. Even the new lyrics in the main theme reflect this change!

i don't have much to add beyond excellent analysis, i very much agree!

most annoying barbie take(s) you've seen? feel free to go off if you want to

Oh buckle up because I've got 2 major gripes.

1. People using Life in the Dreamhouse as the end-all-be-all of what Barbie media/content should be like. Yes it's fun and hilarious and I still love it to this day but I'm sick of everyone comparing every new idea to it.

For example, I'm not the biggest Dreamhouse Adventures fan but the fact that people are STILL comparing it to LitD is ludicrous. First of all, they are different KINDS of series, DA being a 22-min TV series aimed at teaching life lessons and LitD being a short form web series (with a couple exceptions) that spoofs reality shows and satires Barbie. They're also totally different in tone, setting, and characterizations of Barbie & co. Yet people treat DA like it's some inferior LitD reboot/successor. DA isn't TRYING to be LitD!!!

I think it's gotten even worse recently with the live-action Barbie coming out. Endless LitD comparisons are being made. I mean, at least it's a bit more understandable this time with Barbieland seeming similar to dollsize Malibu and an air of self-parody. But even so people are whining and crying about characters like Raquelle not being there. Again I love LitD and Raquelle is iconic but she's beloved BECAUSE of LitD. She didn't even exist before it, unlike Midge who was Barbie's first best friend. (Sidenote: Barbie Diaries Raquelle and Fairy Secret Raquelle do not count; they are completely different characters). (Sidenote #2 it's RAQUELLE not Raquel at least get it right if you're gonna whine). I mean the "Raquelle" entity has been around before LitD like characters such as Teresa, but again the one people always talk about is this one iteration of her. If anything you should be complaining about the lack of Christie and Teresa, who have been around for generations like Midge and used to be mainstays of Barbie.

I also want people to stop saying other versions of Barbie are "wrong" or that people outside the fandom don't understand what the characters are "really" like because of this ONE version of the characters that has been discounted since 2015.

2. People wanting Aqua's "Barbie Girl" in the new movie

Look we all loved this song as a kid, I get it. I did too because I thought it was a real Barbie song. But it's not. Yes Mattel sued and then made their own version and used the melody in commercials between 2009-201x whatever the date was BUT it's been abandoned since then.

The song depicts Barbie as a stereotype dumb bimbo blonde with a gross horndog version of Ken as her love interest. Even with lyrics like "imagination, life is your creation" & "if you say I'm always yours" it's surrounded by things like "you can touch/you can play" "kiss me here touch me there/hanky-panky". Like I'm not gonna stop others from making sexual/humorous depictions of Barbie. My problem is this fandom wanting "outsiders" to see another side of Barbie but still insisting this song be part of it. Why are you holding on to it so tightly? Maybe I just don't get it.

And going back for a sec, again Mattel SUED over this song. Like I don't think it's going into the movie just for that reason

I feel like I had another thing to say but this post is long enough so I'm just gonna stop here

[whatudottu]

Ah yes, the two types of systems:

The Blitzwing Transformers Animated, who has alters who each have uniquely distinct appearances to the point of barely looking like the same person but are named after adjectives that describe their personality/powers in one word

And the Mike Total Drama, who has alters who have actual distinct names that still suit their personalities but all look the exact same but with different hairstyles even in headspace

(Helps that I like to headcanon Blitzwing having a very vivid and elaborate headspace where “everything is beautiful and nothing hurts” given how he’s been implied to be the creative type meanwhile Mike’s headspace canonically just looks like the inside of his brain)

As much canon it is as a Mock-Reality TV that uses diegetic cameras to have recordings of someone's headspace is at least-

I bet given the faces of the 3 hosts, Icy, Hothead, and Random would probably have their own bot looks, ones that match the altmodes they prefer; Icy of course sporting a jet (either a larger Cybertronian jet in comparison to Private's or the Earth jet he scans), Hothead with his tank, and Random being closer to the body's appearance as jet AND tank given that no one else claims it and HE was the one to convince Icy and Hothead to scan both Earth alts. And idk, maybe they also got their flash of colour where purple would be on Blitzwing's body, just to make them further appear different. I think it was the disagreement on altmode scanning that makes the system seem MORE like a system than as 3 exaggerated moods of the one guy, but they work well enough together to probably all be co-hosts of another-

The Mike Squad however... I do so adore how each of them has a personality and are considered to be very real (excluding their mistreatment in All-Stars and how Mal was handled), but like the only one that vaguely had their own look was Vito and that was only really because the body slicked their hair back and the terrifying implications that being shirtless triggers an alter to front. I mean, wouldn't it have been so cool to see Svetlana rocking a whole gymnast look? To have Chester be fully decked out in grandpa gear with a wrinkly face to match? Surely Manitoba would look much snazzier with a full Indiana Johns meets Crocodile Dundee outfit?

Part of me just thinks this is a(n unintentional) spoof of how Reality TV is a little scripted here and there, since though this wasn't the first time we the audience (and the audience of the in-universe show of Total Drama) get to see inside the contestants heads, it's certainly just... a LOT of headspace footage that would be unable to record plus the system's body just dressing and/or fronting as each alter-

God I wanna just try and draw up both systems alter's full appearance, Mike Squad might be easier because they all (seem to) present as humans but at least Blitzwing has some faces to reference for the hosting trio- can't promise anything but... haha!
