Facing The Truth Of A Parody Documentary

By Marci Nielsen


There are many people who look to various television programs to get factual information on what is taking place in the real world. However, not all of these programs are factual even though they might appear to be so at times due to the style that is used. This is how a parody documentary or comedy based on factual events is created, using the same elements but in a different way.

Since there is so much of this type of programming in the world today, it is important for the audience to understand the difference between what is real and what is simply humorous. Real reporters have to do a great amount of ground work before the information airs on television or is presented in a movie format. They have to make the right connections to the story.

Now this depends on further evidence that one might come in contact with. If someone with authority makes a claim that the information presented was false, then most people will look to that authority. On the other hand, there are some people who are not easily convinced about anything, even though it might be presented by a media company that is considered legitimate.

On the other hand, those creating a satirical show spend more time studying the program that was presenting the real story. They do not do their own research or spend time getting factual or truthful information. They study how the show was put together, how the interviews were done, and how the information was received by the audience.

Humor is one of the main tools that is used in these programs. Yet, just because something is funny does not necessarily mean that there is no ounce of truth to it. Many times humor is used to show how ridiculous the real show was or to point out certain flaws in thinking that would otherwise go unnoticed. If this was done in a serious manner, some people might be too sensitive to the alternative.

On the other hand, this might not be true of everyone since some people might be concerned over the presentation of something that makes a mockery of a real story. What might be funny to one person might be very offensive to another. In the world of entertainment, some people might really love a show or they might really dislike it for a number of reasons.

Some people just do not like to be fooled in any way. However, most people welcome these types of programs because they show that the person behind them is creative and knows how to see things in a different light. It also takes a certain set of skills to be able to pull these shows off effectively. One also has to know the material they are working with really well.

This is how the creators of these shows are able to take two or more things that are seemingly unrelated to create something new. It may appear to be close to the real thing, but it is really just a different way at looking at the world. This is why there is always an audience who appreciates these forms of entertainment.
