Talk:Self-parody

Image

I guess it's only self-parody in the broad sense (ie. of art as a whole rather Duchamp particularly parodying himself), but is the Fountain found an alright illustration of the concept?--Pharos 01:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Technically it is not a parody at all according to Duchamp. He said it was about moving art into a conceptual rather than a physical realm or something like that. --Fastfission 02:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• • I could provide a picture I took that was a self-parody located here [1], but I think you guys might want something from a more well known artist than myself. --DucoNihilum 03:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

• • • Got a clearer self-parody. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 07:00, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Matt Groening

He often parodies himself in both The Simpsons and Futurama - probably whenever he mentions himself, or something he created, and that happens very often. Some examples:

• In The Simsons, someone jumps off the cliff shouting - WHY DID THEY CANCEL FUTURAMA? -
• At some store, Millhouse and Bart find Matt Graining who goes nuts when asked to give an autograph - Yes, I'll sign your doll. I like to give my autograph to anyone, anytime, anywhere. But why be happy with just an autograph? How about an original sketch or a snippet of my hair? Don't forget to pull on the beard; they say it's good luck!- Before that, Millhouse said something like - HERE'S MATT GROENING, THE CREATOR OF FUTURAMA!-
• Futurama - Fry finds a Bart Simpson doll on a giant space traveling piece of garbage, and the doll says Eat my shorts.
• so so much more..

The Article's Focus

After reading this article, it feels like too much focus is on the examples, rather than an actual description of the subject matter. Am I alone in this, or no? 68.50.189.73 (talk) 06:54, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Hot Shots! Part Deux

Richard Crenna: Colonel Sam Trautman ("First Blood", "Rambo II", "Rambo III") vs. Colonel Denton Walters ("Hot Shots! Part Deux")?

As well as Charlie and Martin Sheen ("Platoon" and "Apocalypse Now"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.190.161.115 (talk) 21:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Couple more examples

• William Shatner's character Denny Crane in Boston Legal is a parody of himself and his character James T. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series. Shatner's portrayal of Kirk was itself humorous and self-parodying at times.

• Nicolas Cage in many of his movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.204.11 (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

  Nicolas Cage now has a self-parody movie released in 2022. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:22, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Proposed entries

I removed these entries from the article; my explanations are below: AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:30, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

• Kiteretsu Daihyakka is often considered to be a self-parody of Fujiko Fujio's famous Doraemon.

It's a related work, perhaps in the same shared universe as Doraemon, but not directly parodying Doraemon.

• Jose Mourinho descended into self-parody in August 2015 when, having watched his Chelsea side lose, 3–0, to Manchester City, he insisted "It is a fake result. We were the best team by far in the second half." Chelsea conceded 2 second-half goals.

This isn't really a work of media. This is just a person making a single quote that typifies his character.

• Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, and Jabberjaw are all self parodies of Scooby Doo. All of them were made by Hanna-Barbera.

These are similar shows but not self-parodies of Scooby-Doo.

• Tiny Toon Adventures is a self-parody of Warner Bros.' famous Looney Tunes shorts.

This is still within the franchise.

• Teen Titans Go! is a self-parody of both the DC Comics superhero team Teen Titans and the TV series of the same name.

This is still within the franchise.

• Fimbles is a British television series that is a parody of Sesame Street, Rainbow, and Ni Ni's Treehouse. It is produced by Novel Entertainment and BBC Worldwide.

This would then be a parody of these other shows, NOT a self-parody.

The Little Train Robbery

The Little Train Robbery, directed by Edwin S. Porter, is a parody of his earlier film The Great Train Robbery, with an all-child cast as the robbers, a miniature railroad and playhouse as sets, and the robbers stealing dolls and candy instead of money. Should this be included? 78.144.28.72 (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
