Porn Parodies – Reinventing Your Favorites, One Sex Scene at a Time
September 24, 2009 by LilMcGill
Porn parodies are nothing new. From the dirty bathhouses of ancient Rome, to the swinging 70s, to Who’s Nailin’ Palin?, as long as people have been making the beast with two backs, people have been making fun of it. (And, similarly, as long something is entertaining, someone will probably want to make it sexy, too.)
It’s just a natural progression, if you think about it. People always seem to be complaining about how there’s so much sex in the media. Porn parodies just make the sex the focus rather than the naughty little thing everyone is talking about but never gets to see.
Typically, the porn parody seemed to be less about actual scrumping and more about funny or novel situations that happened to also be sexy.
Do you like scary movies? How about skanky horror like Night of the Giving Head? More into the classics? What about a slutty classic like Lawrence of a Labia? Do you enjoy action packed space movies with aliens? How about sex packed space movies with aliens like Men in Black Men?
Even if you like long artistic dramas with lots of poetry and reflection, you can always settle down to a quiet evening with Schindler’s Fist.
Yes, indeed. There is something for everyone in the wide world of the porn parody. It seems like all one needs to do is take a popular title and change a few nouns into sexy nouns. Is no genre safe?
A quick Google search gives great databases of porn parodies, including the good, the bad, and plenty of the ugly. (And believe me, some of these are very ugly.) Subgenius.com is just one place that offers a comprehensive list of what they consider to be the greatest porn parodies of all time.
While Lord of the G Strings and Edward Penis Hands are fun, they aren’t always the sexiest. But a recent (and popular) trend in the adult industry has been redefining (and banking on) the porn parody in ways unheard of.
This new trend in porn parodies has become so popular that even Newsweek ran a feature interview with director Will Ryder, discussing this new “gold rush in porn.”
What’s old is new, and the adult industry has uncovered the Holy Grail of taking old television sitcom favorites and remaking them – with sex! With titles like Not Three’s a Company, Scrubs – a XXX Parody, Not the Cosbys, and especially, Not the Bradys (the third of which is scheduled to be released this October), the industry is heralding a new formula of sexy success.
Ryder insisted to Newsweek that the new parodies were more like sitcoms as opposed to traditional porno. “We’re entertainers,” he said. “Not pornographers”
Paying attention to vital details such as accurate and familiar sets, dialogue and camera angles, combined with engaging story and the inclusion of favorite and memorable characters, the adult industry has created films that people want to watch not just for sex, but because they really are interested in seeing the story unfold.
The most recent porn parodies are more than just goofy rip-off titles with dirty words, but stories that stay true to the feel of the original shows we all know and love.
Jon from Texas, a connoisseur of gay porn, says parodies are one of his favorite things to see when watching porn.
One of his favorites is The Hole, a soft core gay parody of the horror franchise from Japan, Ringu.
Even being soft core, Jon says knowing the original story with a sexy twist makes The Hole one of the most watched DVDs in his collection. (And Jon has quite a collection.)
“It’s cheesy as hell,” he says, “and they don’t show penetration, but it’s funny and I consider it one of the hottest DVDs I own.”
Funny and hot seems to be the magic formula of making a successful porn parody, but one can’t help but wonder what’s next?
These days, reality television is more popular sitcoms. Does that mean in a few years we’ll be seeing fun gonzo titles such as Dirty Big Brother, Who Wants to Fuck a Millionaire?, Sleeping with the [Porn] Stars or even Not American Idol?

I think the parodies are a good thing for the industry. It brings a little acting back to the movies. I review a lot of porn and watching 5 scene all sex dvds over and over again can get boring. Which I think the adult industry has gotten. Boring! So at least the parodies give it a shot in the arm to a degree.
