How many of you were a little too young to see it in theatres but saw it on video?his
How many of you are saying, 'Breakfast Club? That's the Brat Pack or something, right?'
I'm asking because this show Charlie likes, Victorious, did this parody of it and it was...well...weird.
I mean, the kids doing the parody weren't even born when the movie came out. I wondered if they watched it to see what they were parodying, and if they thought it was relavant, or just stupid.
And then...it was a bit disturbing, because they substuted tacos for weed, and 'vegan' for 'virgin' and it just felt...wrong, somehow. Also it was scary how well I knew the scenes they were parodying.
And then I felt old because something that, for good or ill, defined my generation was being parodied on a genearally annoying children's show.
Victorious, for the record, is made by Dan Schnider, who seems to think that physical violence is funny as long as its a girl beating up a boy, and that if you yell loudly enough it will be funny.
