I watched the original Scream years after seeing Scary Movie, and realized Scary Movie is just Scream on cocaine. A lot of the jokes are the same or just slightly different.
What’s the line between being self aware and a parody?

It is amazing, though I think Thud is my favorite, as nothing has made me attempt to stifle a laugh harder than Vimes screaming, “Where’s my cow‽”

One night as I was in my room, my mom called me from the kitchen down the hall. As I walk down the hall, I’m pulled into the closet and a hand is clasped over my mouth to silence me. My mom whispers “Shhh, I heard it too.”
DW has a documentary where an naturalized citizen working as an immigration lawyer says that her clients would prefer her be a Trump fan, because if she’s cool with Trump, then he wouldn’t target them.
