Mockumentary

n. A fictional film that is in the style of a documentary and pretends to be a documentary. A mock documentary.



mockumentary
a film that has the look and feel of a television documentary, but with the irreverent humor and slapstick of a comedy, designed to "mock" the documentary or subject it features.
Example:
"Drop Dead Gorgeous," which ridicules a local Minnesota beauty pageant, is the illegitimate child of "This Is Spinal Tap" -- a weak link in the people-are-stupid tradition. In that it portrays a group of film students making a documentary about a local witch legend, "The Blair Witch Project" is not unlike those "the making of" movie documentaries with which subscribers to HBO and Showtime are all too familiar.


mockumentary
A mockumentary or mocumentary is a fiction film presented as a documentary film. They are usually comedic, often parodic in nature, and are often presented as historical documentaries with b-roll and talking heads discussing past events or as cinema verite pieces following people as they go through various events.
Example:
"This Is Spinal Tap" is a mockumentary.


mockumentary
A show or film which parodies a "serious" documentary.
Example:
Movie examples include Spinal Tap, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Specials (starring Rob Lowe, very underrated). One profound example on TV in Britain that nobody has mentioned is "Brass Eye" - a series of 6 documentaries and one special. They are available on DVD and video and are totally worth a look.


mockumentary
An extremely profitable production of deceptive and shocking media, typically with a scary title, that is intended to divide a society into two warring, social factions by employing subtle international terrorism that convinces people they must relinquish control over their lives to a reigning bureaucracy in order to save the planet from themselves.
Example:
Scared: "Oh no, the sky is melting, we need to stop breathing and farting or we are all going to die!"

Reasonable: "What? Are you crazy?!"

Scared: "Me? You're the fool. You're going to kill us all! haven't you seen that documentary "An Inconsistent Boob"? The producer even gives speeches warning us about you people who are just too selfish and ignorant to see the truth.

Reasonable: "Oh, I get it, you fell for some money-hungry trickster's digitally altered mockumentary."
