Out of the metaphorical bag.

This was bleedin' hilarious.

And by this I mean the half cat person documentary.

This had all those little visual and tonal cues that make a faked mockumentary, or even a real documentary, really damn funny. The innocence of the subject is part of it. The faked innocence is another.

All together, this becomes something that tickles my funny bone.


It uses that cominality of images that associate themselves with real documentaries (various cuts and fadeaways. The recurring 'unsure of them self' and 'I'm just me' tone that interviewed people seem to have.), as well as those of fake documentaries (The silly cutaways with really sarcastic clips, the people in the background completely ignoring something obviously surreal. Any too many other funny little quips to list.)

Seriously, this was really well done.

Good job.


And that's it.
