This clip is from the TV show Happy Endings.  It has six friends who hang out together, and they are all at a wedding.  Max, the guy who is singing the Madonna song, is gay, and is part of a Madonna band called "Mandonna."  I know we talked about Lady Gaga and Madonna, and I just thought this is a funny parody of Madonna.

Kind of late, but I was remembering the conversations we were having after watching the Monster Ball. We talked about Lady Gaga wanting the attention and constantly telling the crowd to cheer and scream for her. I think this parody of her song "Applause" touches on a lot of that and throws a little Madonna in the song as well. And it's pretty funny. Enjoy!

This was amazing! I think it is so relevant so the point about authenticity. At first Gaga was considered new, original and exciting but now people have gotten bored of her. Maybe it's because she has lost her authenticity and originality or is it just because people can see through all her make up, clothing and persona, therefore diminishing her as an artist.

This video is from Key and Peele's show. I think this video can be relevant to Thursday's class, when we talked about Macklemore and his song, Same Love.  It's obviously supposed to be funny, but just the fact that Key and Peele are both black makes for an interesting twist.

Another take on Miley Cyrus and ratchet culture. Although it's clear Charlamagne's trying to be funny at points, he does raise some interesting issues concerning Miley (though, in my opinion, he's rather ignorant in the way he explains himself). He also mentions Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, and Justin Timberlake in this video.

Hey guys! So I'm watching SNL and it turns out Miley Cyrus is hosting & performing tonight. Here's a link with the promo! Update: She just did a parody of "We Can't Stop." It's about the government shutting down. Really funny! Katy Perry will be hosting within the next few weeks as well.

This was mentioned in the article about the Katy Perry Movie. It's pretty amusing and gives you a closer look at some of the lyrics to "Last Friday Night". 

I laughed a few times while reading this. I enjoyed the line by line analysis and completely agree with the overall message he was trying to get across.

Here is the parody Miley did on SNL of her song, "We Can't Stop." I think it's pretty funny! EDIT: Sorry guys, that link isn't working anymore. Here's another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik1bdoufPt0

Best Trailer Ever! This video is a parody of the Hunger Gamer and made it into the Hungry Games.  This video can relate to the black culture discussion in class. The video uses black stereotypes and takes the mick out of what is considered 'black culture', whether it's attitude, music, style etc. Although if say a white person did this wouldn't there be backlash, so how is it okay for african americans to satirize themselves but not others?

I just found this amusing. The body swap between Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus is particularly funny as you could say they are known for being the complete opposite in where they stand.

I found this article on buzz feed that compares Lady Gaga in her many bizarre outfits to random objects. You will be surprised at the the likeness of some such as the outdoor heater or the weight loss pill!!

I thought this was pretty funny! The Professor Trelawney one was pretty good! I just wonder how tiring it would be to always be dressing up like that! Or it could be fun as well!

Ignore the headline; E! News likes to over exaggerate and produce false headlines to attract attention. Whedon does not "call out" Katy Perry in a derogatory sense, he just uses a phrase she said as an example to demonstrate his point. This is an interesting viewpoint, worth watching. The guy is pretty funny, too!

I love Joss Whedon and all the shows/films he creates and part of that is because of his views on equality and how that translates to his shows. BUT, I read some interesting blog posts about about him that viewed his ideologies as patronising and ignorant. Whilst I don't agree and think he's just trying to do his bit, I think it's interesting to see other perspectives on what Whedon has to say.
