Citizen: I was wondering about making a smaller version of this
◊ the pic for this trope (the whole episode being Schwarzenegger homage), but going by past experience, Fast Eddie would remove it?
Fast Eddie: <sticks tongue out at Citizen/> Sure, make me the bad guy. The costume is cooler. I've been cutting some images that were too animated or above 800KB in size, but that's it. Trying to keep this thing limping along on the skinny bit of bandwidth we can't quite afford. The image on your jump is small (data-wise) and refreshingly static. Go for it, sardonic guy.
Medinoc: Would the Road Runner sequences in that Farscape episode count as an homage?
Fast Eddie: Yup.
Sci Vo: Would it be okay if I re-wrote this a bit? Because the term is actual fan-speak that means far more than what's described here. The way I've seen it used, it means partial recreations of other works in all kinds of media, not just TV. For example, Homage Shot, Pietà Plagiarism, and Art Imitates Art are all sub-tropes of "homage" as I know the word.
Looney Toons: Cut out the following
- Most actors resent being typecast, but Adam West is almost unique in his taking advantage of it to land a wide variety of roles that poke fun at his pop-culture icon status. From the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous to the TV version of Black Scorpion, to the cartoon Fairly Oddparents, to the Animated Adaptations of Batman, to the role of the neurotic mayor on Family Guy, West has become a master of self-parody.
because it has no relevance to the subject at all.
Would the family guy episode "Road to Rhode Island" count (at least the appropriate storyline) as an homage to the old Road To Movies? I mean, the form was the same, and the song was obviously a parody/homage of the song in Road to Morocco
Quick question, how exactly is this different from a shout out?
