Intertextuality

     This week in class we talked about examples of Intertextuality, a lot of the examples I found involved the animated TV show "Family Guy".  They like to take a lot of different movies and put their own "Family Guy" spin to it. If you look at this Top half of the picture you have the iconic picture from the Movie North by Northwest and then on the bottom you have Peter from Family Guy reenacting that famous scene.




     The second example from the Family Guy is a pretty iconic scene from the movie Star Wars with it being reenacted by Stewie & Brian from Family Guy with them playing the roles of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. 
     Lastly, I have an example from the show The Simpsons where they are depicting Mr. Burns as the killer from the movie "The Silence of the Lambs".  I find this one amusing due to how Mr. Burns is always talked about as being a very evil man and then he is shown as epitome of evil in this example.

  1. Great examples! I see the simpsons amd family guy everywhere.I feel that both the simpsons and family guy are shows based around intertextuality and their ability to put a comedy twist on anything.
