Cosby Porn
Remember the good old days of porn when pornos had story, substance, character development, and more than one kind of dramatic climax? Me either, but the porn industry used to at least try and have a flimsy plot around which its characters could find a reason to have sex (sort of like real life). In the last 10 years or so, however, porn producers discovered that the main consumer of porn (MEN!) didn't really need a plot with their porn. In fact, the plot usually just got in the way and caused men to burn out the fast-forward button on their remotes. As a result, especially in the golden age of digital internet porn, the trend in the industry (so I've been told) has been toward cheaper, easier-to-produce vignettes. Minimal to no story---just sex, sex, sex. It's a little sad (but just a little).
Every now and then the industry will put forth an extraordinary effort to try and grab some mainstream attention, as was the case with the 2005 movie Pirates, reported to be the most expensive porn film ever made with a budget just north of a million dollars. I rather like what The New York Times had to say about it: "A relatively high-budget story of a group of ragtag sailors who go searching for a crew of evil pirates who have a plan for world domination. Also, many of the characters in the movie have sex with one another." Wanna know how you can tell it's a legit movie? The sequel came in at 2 hours and 18 minutes...making it like every other self-important, over-bloated sequel in history. Even so, herculean efforts like Pirates are few and far between. Recently, however, one film company has begun a new trend in the industry and, well, it's kind of awesome.
Porn parodies are not a new trend and have been around forever. We all remember Edward Penishands, yes? Good. But the most recent trend is towards parodies of classic television sitcoms, including The Brady Bunch, Three's Company, and The Cosby Show. Again, this alone is not that remarkable, but what is remarkable is how funny these parodies appear to be. Great care has obviously been taken with the script, with the casting, the set design, the costuming, and even with the camera movements...all carefully done to mimic the show's style. And if you think I'm exaggerating, take a look at the trailer for Not The Cosby Show XXX.
You don't see any sex in that YouTube-safe version, but trust me, this is a hardcore porn film. You can check out the not-safe-for-work version here. It's fucking genius, right? There's also parodies of Friends and Scrubs, and then there's this dead-on parody of The Office:
And the parodies keep coming and coming. Like this great one for 30 Rock:
Amazing.
