Members bellcurve Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 BUMP! Is this a parody of Crystal Chappell/Otalia? The glasses of wine are . And the Chappel-like character(that looks like Jessica Leccia) admitting that she's gay for pay and exploiting the lesbian fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 This one is even better. I love how they are making of Chappell being a drunk. If the writers do their research for future episodes, they could totally nail this and create an effective parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Why do the production values for this look better than the production values for Venice or Gotham? I love the whole "They love this like you love Xena," followed by, "That's not funny! That's totally different!" I really hope Vee gets to see this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Vee might have already seen this, being a TWoP mainstay. That's how I got wind of the link, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 LOLOLOLOL. There's more, there's more! Here's scenes from the canceled show "Gotham Vice." I like how they make fun of how absolutely unnatural and stilted those Olivia/Natalia scenes were on GL with the awkward camera angles and bad music.

Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's interesting. I remember Otalia had a big following at TWOP. Then again, there's a difference between liking that and liking what followed. There was that fun blog, I can't remember the name now, which initially planned to seriously review Venice, and then they were so annoyed by it they just made a mockery of the first few episodes before giving up entirely.

Members Vee Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 No, this is new on me. Hilarious. That is one vicious and truthful riff on If I'm not mistaken. The GL parody is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Aside from the kissing (which would probably make someone at P&G or CBS flee in horror), it's all so spot on for Otalia. I especially love the GL music in the storeroom, the horrible "rock" followed by the almost as bad "inspirational" theme. And that webpage cracks me up. A T-shirt for "I'm a detective, I...detect things." That's like Internet fandom to a tee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 I like how the DA's office is a closet with a file cabinet. And if I'm not mistaken, in one of the scenes her law degree was frameless, just a sheet of paper propped up against another frame. The music is truly horrible. But in order to truly complete the GL illusion they needed for the only intimacy to be warm hugs and perhaps eskimo kisses. I saw some of Venice but was not about to pay for an entire season of that garbage. I heard it "got better" but I frankly doubt that. I thought Gotham was steadily improving from being utter [!@#$%^&*] to slightly less, but I should catch up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think she had two frameless degrees next to each other. I only watched a little bit of Venice; I'm sure it did get better but between "sassy" and HBS as a funny foreigner telling Tina Sloan she was going to go sapphic, I never could get past the start. There seemed to be very little of the actual lesbian couple in question. I don't watch a lot of fanvids (not because I think they're all bad, just because I usually don't care about enough couples to really watch them), but that Trina fanvid reminds me of the one Otalia fanvid I watched last spring, which was the same two or three clips put in over and over and over...

Members bellcurve Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Or like the Nuke scenes that basically replay the two of them jumping on the bed or the stumble into the kitchen island at the Snyder Farm. LOL. Man, someone has to tell these bitches to do more episodes of Webseries The Webseries. I wish there were more soap parodies out there that made fun of people in charge of these soaps, and not those ridiculous Mii-like characters set to robotic voices. I never thought they were making fun of I love the crazy fans gluing the pictures to the cardboard(like the ridiculous video of child drawing a picture of Olivia, Natalia and Emma while her mom looked on saying "We love Otalia!" ) and the crazy lesbian at her computer with the "Team Trina" T-Shirt. They really capture the essence of how rabid those fans are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 :lol: They sucked me in for life the second they showed the poor, lonely fan sitting in her darkened room in front of the computer. I can't even put into words how wrong but right that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marley Posted May 29, 2010 Members Share Posted May 29, 2010 I'll just jump right in. The Xena part was my favorite Apparently CC is now gonna do another webseries or a reality webseries. "The straight girls guide to gay bars" or something like that (that is really the title of the show). So to answer the question "Is Crystal Chappell trying too hard to play up the lesbian audience" my answer is a big fat YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
