If anyone in society is under served, it’s movie parody fans. The annual allowance for the Friedman-Seltzer brand fast-paced mockeries like the Scary Movies, Superhero Movies, Date Movies, Epic Movies, Not Another Teen Movies, Meet The Spartanses, and Dance Flicks are barely enough to satiate the appetite. You tide your hunger over with Family Guy, which unfortunately intersperses their vignettes with “plot” and “heavy-handed moralizing.” What’s an aficionado hungry for cheap, easy pop-culture yukfests to do?
Sarcasm aside, I have nothing against jokes about movies. I mean, sure, as a whole pop-culture humor tends to get dated, is usually juvenile, and relies too much on audience recognition. What I’ve realized, though, is that if you’re clever enough, you can make anything funny. People forget that the great, ground-breaking comedy Airplane! was a spoof of 70′s disaster movies, mainly because it did so much to forge its own sense of original nutty fun.
So what about a comic composed almost entirely of movie parodies? That’s what we get with Deleted Scenes, a webcomic by Dave Graff.
