Civil War #6 Parody

[The Ski Mask]

The Marvel Civil War will soon end. However, before it ends, I make another parody issue.

Marvel can at least try to hide the fact that they are ripping DC off, again...

We got another pairs of Candidate for the 2008 Presidental Election, they are Tony Stark (R) and Reed Richards (D).

Featuring a new Character: Clinton the Sub-Mariner!

Even Marvel's Cindy Sheenan gets rich.

PH.D at their worst.

Heh, that was funny.

 

[Speedball]

I found them funny...
What program do I need to open a CBZ file?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I think they totally blew off the whole idea that maybe Marvel isn't ripping off the Flash, since the guy just has superspeed. That's more like they're ripping off their own Quicksilver. Now if he could vibrate his atoms, travel at faster than light speed, have some sort of odd infinite energy source that dictates all speed, and can grant and take away speed, THEN you're ripping off the Flash.

Lame.

 

[Red Mask]

For sure. That parody was terrible.

 

[SonOfCthulhu]

Are the spelling errors there as a parody of Marvel's cracker-jack editing department?

 

[Painman]

Didn't get what you said about them ripping off DC comics. I smiled but thats about it...try again

After reading this I tried to figure out exactly how it was parody, as it didn't seem to fit according to my understanding of the definition so I turned to Dictionary.com and this is what I got.

1. a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing: his hilarious parody of Hamlet's soliloquy.
No humor in these so it fails this one.
2. the genre of literary composition represented by such imitations.
As this relates to the first one that requires humor, you fail again.
3. a burlesque imitation of a musical composition.
No music, all at least as far I could tell, I suppose you could've intended everyone to be singing.
4. any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc.
Again the word humorous rears it's ugly head.
5. the use in the 16th century of borrowed material in a musical setting of the Mass (parody Mass).
No 16th century stuff borrowed no "musical setting of the mass", whatever the hell that means
6. A poor or feeble imitation or semblance; travesty: His acting is a parody of his past greatness.
Alright here we go; poor, feeble it meets those requirement, imitation I suppose it meets that one too and it's a travesty for sure. Well looks like I was wrong and I owe you an apology this is a parody. Bravo you've certainly pulled a fast one on all of us.

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah, failure on the funnyness.

 

[jaydawg]

Leave the Civil War Parodies to livejournal.

 

[SouLeSS]

That might of been funny, I wouldn't know. I didn't bother to read them because they broke the HScroll/

Has potential...

Panel 1: Without background for the bat-joke (even in this short preview setting), the punch line feels hollow. Comedy Rule: Buy The Premise, Buy the Joke. The actual Rip off would have forced us to buy the premise, and following it up with a fake one would then be funny. As is all I think is: "There's no human bat..."

Panel 2: Again, lack of premise. Furthermore, it doesn't sound presidential and even a photoshop cobbled parody of two-name election insignia on this panel would have helped us buy in to this one. The dialogue "What do you think" isn't funny... You gotta go for extreme in comedy, either the coloquial "Whatcha think?" or something overcompensating, like a slogan or derogatory remark at politicians, NOT the reader.

Panel 3: I just don't get what you're referring to... you can't seriously be telling me that something in this panel is reminicent of Bill Clinton (The most recent thing on my mind since it follows a president joke)

Panel 4: Hmm... This joke would work with some build up. Having all the development wrapped up in the punch line deflates it until it's just a quirky event and not a comedic moment.

Panel 5: This hurts. Again, there's no way we could buy this premise that Ph.Ds are somehow inherently ineffective in communicating.

So, basically, you have a perspective and POV which is not shared by your audience. You can either tailor your jokes to your audience, as even living room comedians do, or go find people who believe as you do... have had all the same conversations you have, and have already bought the premises of your jokes.
