"What happens when you give a group of cosplayers sugar and a camera? PARLE!"
"Making a fool out of ourselves for your entertainment!"
Parlé Productions is a group of cosplayers from the UK active from 2007 to early 2017, when the group disbanded. Originally started by the cosplayer couple Jack
(now a member of NyxRising Industries) and Kellyjane, the group grew from a group of cosplay loving friends to a source of hilarious webshows worshipped by a lot of fans of Kingdom Hearts, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, Harry Potter, Final Fantasy VII, and many other fandoms.
Their official site can be found here and their official YouTube channel here. (All of the group's old videos are still available, but new content is no longer being posted.)
The group produced the following shows: (Note: an * means that beside the normal episodes, there are also other short videos with the same characters, like short sketches and special extras.)
- Demyx Time: Demyx is given a camera.
- The Sora Show: Sora somehow has obtained a camera.
- Shinra Files: A look behind the scenes of the notorious MegaCorp from Final Fantasy VII.
- The Marauders: A look in the everyday life of The Marauders and their friends and foes at Hogwarts.
- Stuck In Savannah: Left 4 Dead 2. Not only is Nick stuck in Savannah with Ellis during the Zombie Apocalypse, he also is stuck with Ellis who is constantly filming him.
- Keith How Do: Ellis' mythical best friend Keith shows us how to do stuff. Like a professional idiot.
- Some Assembly Required: The Avengers (2012).

Demyx Time & The Sora Show
- Brain Bleach: Implied when Axel discovers that Larxene slept with Xigbar (along with most of the rest of the Organization).Axel: Xigbar?Larxene: *nods* Uh-huh.Axel: Tell you what, I'll be back in about a half an hour, there's some stuff I really, quite desperately need to bleach, so if you would please—*leaves the room followed by screams of pain*
- Catchphrase:
- Stop! Demyx Time!
- "Dude!" - Xigbar
- "Kingdom Hearts!" - Xemnas
- Fanservice: Demy Short: Faith had Demyx and Axel dancing around together on a comfy looking bed with unbuttoned shirts. They're actually two girls passing as guys doing that.
- Innocent Innuendo:
- The bouncy bed game really is just bouncing on the bed.
- And within the very first minute of the very first episode of the Sora Show:Sora: "You put lots of things in your mouth and don't eat it. I could give you examples.
Riku: "Please do."
- "Riku, I think it's time to make our speedy exit."
- No Periods, Period: Inverted. An early arc involves Demyx trying to figure out what a tampon is. It doesn't end well. Later he discusses Larxene's "airplane sticker" collection:Axel: Remember those tampons of Larxene's?
Demyx: ...Uh-huh...
Axel: That's for the same sort of thing.
Demyx: Augh! Why did you put it on my face?!
- The One Guy: As of episode 14, the only male cast members are Roxas, Luxord, and Lexaeus.
- The Smurfette Principle: Larxene and Xion are the only female characters, but inverted in regard to the cast.
- Trilogy Creep: Kind of. There were originally going to be only thirteen episodes, one for each Organization member. Then Xion was revealed, and it expanded to fourteen. Now there will be fifteen as a reward to the fans for giving them money to get to Metrocon.
