Scroll to the bottom for the latest addition to the spoof-a-rama. đ
So, I usually watch every episode in 10 minutes flat. Watch ArHi, skip Snake, Poojali, Payash etc. I watch HP and Laxmi though. *hugs to HP and Lax*. But the last 3-4 days, I have been watching all 22 minutes of every epi. Now why, you ask? Because they have hit it out of the park man. That's why. It began with the temple wedding. (ek chutki sindoor anyone?) and now continues with this masterpiece of a spoof of a Bollywood potboiler. I mean, they are so f**king good at this spoofing business that you don't even know you're watching a spoof. That's the best kinda joke man. The one that's on you! So, want to know why today's episode was a Spoof-a-thon. Read on:
Spoof no. 1: Aarti in the morning. The family that prays together, eats together, stays together. Laughing at the long and glorious Barjatya tradition, the makers of this show effortlessly spoof a family prayer scene. Now usually, when you pray, the focus is on..well...God. These guys focus on more important things. Like not handing prasad to the resident leper. (Very efficient. That's how leprosy spread in Bibilical times. From prasad-induced accidental contact with lepers.)
Here's the movie they spoofed. Very sly, I say. This kick in the nuts to a saccharine sweet, diabetes inducing scene from this movie that should've been called Hum Fart Fart hain. (Sorry, Vidhya lacks the patience to surf through the 3 hour long family party to find one innocuous scene and Maxine thinks its fun to make people who really want to find it, watch 3 hours of compost waste!)
Spoof No.2: Mamiji's choti bahu versus Badi bahu comment. Trying to drive a wedge between 2 girls who are not even blood sisters, and one of whom is ignoring the other more than I ignore the weighing scale on days when I'm PMSing . (like today) Notice how they subtly spoofed this totally OTT song and dance routine from a classic starring Horsey and Tiny underwear man about 2 warring sisters.They kept it classy in the show man. No song. No dance. Only silent displays of passive aggressive hostility. If looks could kill, Payal would've made Khushi, well, giggle. đ
Spoof No.3: Nani's ill health. She has a temperature. And everyone clamored around her like she was dying. Very subtly done spoof, this one. And hard to catch too. Unless you are brilliant, like me. They were going for a spoof (and they pulled it off methinks) of the highly overdone death of Bhishma on his bed arrows after lying on it for several days. Because, face it, Bhishma may have been Single, but he was a closet Masochist. Notice how everyone is sobbing, and people in skies are showering flowers upon the body of a dead man. The makers of IPKKND wanted to tell the Mahabharat lovers how very pointless all this is. You ill? Call the f**king doctor. Grievously ill? Then die. No need all this lying on arrows and flower showers. Unnecessary drama. Nani kept it classy today in her spoof. She showed Bhishma!
Spoof No.4: Anjali and Chotey's accusation filled, ultimatum driven, high voltage confrontation. What they were in fact trying to tell us is that no brother sister relation can be as love filled as this one. I mean, what the heck? Who are baby Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman kidding? Ek hazaaron mein meri Behna hai? Oops, sorry. Wrong show. So, yeah..see how smart they were. A double spoof. They spoofed the concept of a loving bro-sis relationship and they gave the finger to another show on the same channel that showcases loving siblings. Sibling love. Pfft.
Spoof No. 5: There is none. Even I don't dare spoof Khushi's Sati Savitri act today. She was beyond awesome with her amazing voice modulation. I wouldn't have guessed it was her. Brilliant acting Sanaya Irani...err Savitriji.
Cheers!

Be nice peeps. I am having a bad workday and threw a hissy fit this morning! (Which is very rare for me. I am usually very poised.)
Edited: Spoof No. 6: Taking a cue from the PH of this show, SBS (or is it SBB? I can never tell 'cos these 2 are always busy spoofing each other) also decided to join the spoofwagon. Only they took it one spoof ahead. They decided to spoof 'The Casting Couch'. Now, as we all know the casting couch is a couch aspiring actors sit on to make their asses look bigger. It's like a rite of passage. Like ragging almost. Pee on the live wire. Sit on the casting couch. Gettit? Now, our resident hotwa was apparently offered a seat on this couch and he refused. Big mistake. Now, SBS (or B?) decided to take revenge for his flipping the couch makers the finger by flashing us several shots of BS's (unfortunate initials those!) lean ass in excruciating detail. It was a magnificently done piece of spoofery, Vidhya says Salud! But Maxine says, wait a minute. I think they miscalculated a little. See, the thing is, no matter how many shots they flash us of his too thin butt, all the girls watching their show (face it SBS(or B) no men watch your show) can think of is: He needs a haircut. What they should've done is placed secret cameras in his bathroom so we could've been shown pics of his bare butt. Now that, would've been a true lesson to BS (giggle!) for daring to say No to the couch. Maybe the girls on the forum would've still said the same thing: He needs a haircut. But now, we shall never know! So, SBS (or B) sorry. But this lame attempt at a spoof is an EPIC FAIL! Learn from the masters. Worship at the lotus feet of this PH. And then come back to us with a better attempt.
Alrighty folks. I worked 14 hours yesterday for shit. I am in a seriously bad mood today and it looks like I'll be working 16 hours today. My only hopes are: nice comments from you people and the promise of another spoofathon from IPKKND today.
Cheers!
