The XXX files: about porn parody

There’s no blockbuster, famous novel or popular TV series that wouldn’t have its parody. Nearly every known cultural texts has its lustful, mirror comedic image. No other film makers react so quickly to a success of some sort of product as the producers and directors from the porn industry. Porn-parody is likely the most common film genre from the XXX industry – it’s worthwhile taking a closer look at their best, historic examples, how their story is shaped now and how does the scheme look like, under which similar movies are being made. We will go through the porn-parody history beginning with classic movies, based mainly on literature and not so much on precise movie examples, but more on stereotypes and genre models, going to the new ones referring to particular titles. We will see how Muppets prepare their very own first porn, what would E.T do on Earth, if he was a woman, how looks the Texas Massacre with a vibrator and what would Edward Penishands do with his hands.
