What TV/Movie Is Parodied/Paid Homage To The Most?

[Guest MrRant]

I would say Star Trek. Everything from the sound effects (Red Alert, the door opening WHOOSH, and the phaser sound seems to be the most used) from the show, endless Amok Time battles to character parodies.. Hell... half of the Futurama episodes have some part Star Trek in them. Especially the one with the heads of the original crew (Welshie cracked me up). I constantly see references to Star Trek in many movies and TV shows.

 

Your opinion?

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Star Wars has gotta be up there, too.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Not necessarily the most. Animal House's end credits, where they tell us what happens with the characters. How many movies have used that ending since than.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Animcal House took that from American Graffiti. See, things get parodied so much people can't remember what the originator was anymore.

[Guest treble charged]

Rocky.

[Guest razazteca]

Was Ferris Bueller the 1st movie that had the main character talk to the camera? Everybody does that now.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Was Ferris Bueller the 1st movie that had the main character talk to the camera? Everybody does that now.

That would be 1927's "The Jazz Singer"

 

Hell, James Bond did it in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"

 

 

Speaking of which, how many action heroes have ripped off the "darkly funny one-liner after killing someone" that started in "Dr. No"

[Guest Mattdotcom]

The Matrix was parodied in EVERY FUCKING MOVIE MADE after it came out, and just yesterday I saw where I could download the Matrix Reloaded Parody from Scary Movie 3. So the cycle begins anew I suppose.

 

Out of all time, I'm with MrRant and Spiff. Its either Star Trek/Wars.

[Guest G. HOOD]

Citizen Kane.

[Guest razazteca]

But the Jazz Singer was the 1st "talkie" and the talking was done in a song, right. It was not like the Jazz Singer was asking the audience rhetorical questions.

[Guest Eagan469]

Gone With The Wind

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Yes, he talked to the audience.

 

"You ain't heard nothing yet, folks."

 

It was the first time a movie had broken "The fourth wall"

 

Plus, as I said Bond said "This never happened to the other fellow" in reference to Lazenby replacing Connery in OHMSS so you're STILL wrong.

[Guest razazteca]

I'm never wrong Mr Zsasz I don't expect you to talk facts I expect you to be banned

 

Anyway I still think the way Ferris Bueller talked to the camera has become a cliche just like the James Bond one liners are.

 

Ferris Bueller > Heathers > High Fidelity

[Guest Vyce]

Birth of a Nation.

 

Waittaminute, they made a Scary Movie 3?

 

People still pay to see that shit?

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

I'm never wrong Mr Zsasz I don't expect you to talk facts I expect you to be banned

They've done that in like play ever, you know. (Have a narrator who talks to the audience.)

 

Ferris Bueller wasn't the first. Not even close

Shakespeare is the root of all stage action.

[Guest starvenger]

I was gonna say the "Black Ninja Attack", but it's more of a cliche. I've seen the Bruce Lee "berzerker" attack used often in parodies, though...

Except for what he borrowed from Greek tragedy. And he stole the sonnet from a Russian.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

It is hard to find parts of Citizen Kane that isn't parodied on shows like the Simpsons.

[Guest Ravenbomb]

Taxi Driver is parodied quite a bit

[Guest wildpegasus]

Quote Mr Rant "I would say Star Trek"

 

Ironically, doesn't Star Trek take a lot of stuff from Space Battleship Yamato?

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

It seems to me that I've seen an awful lot of references to Full Metal Jacket around...

 

And FUCKING Bullet Time. Jesus, now, it's like EVERY action movie NEEDS bullet time, it seems.

[Guest Anglesault]

The Godfather

 

All the fucking time on TV you see someone coming the main character and asking a "favor"

 

Some even add ring kissing

 

and of course, all 300000 variations of the horse's head.

[Just John 0]

The Matrix

 

I also see the Lady and the Tramp style kiss parodied quite a bit.

[Guest razazteca]

[cartman]I really hate you guys so much[/cartman]

 

Shakespear did not write all of his plays or sonnets.

 

Every mob boss uses the voice that Brando did in the Godfather.

[Guest JMA]

The Matrix. No doubt about it.

[Guest Boo_Bradley]

Ghostbusters the toon had a parody of C. Kane as well...

[Guest ShamRock]

Taxi Driver is parodied quite a bit

What movie?

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Animcal House took that from American Graffiti. See, things get parodied so much people can't remember what the originator was anymore.

Didn't know that. Well Animal House is a better movie.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

The only thing ever parodied from Taxi Driver is the whole "you talkin' to me bit," occasionally you'll see a play off of the haircut, but that's it.
