TGIF: Bonus video – MADtv parody on Schoolhouse Rock April 30, 2009

I just discovered this funny parody of the Schoolhouse Rock video I posted last week on nouns. Be sure to watch the original to refresh your memory before watching this to truly enjoy it. MADtv is Emmy Award winning American sketch comedy television series that made/makes fun of just about anything it can in American pop culture. It aired from 1995 to 2008 on Fox and is in syndication on the Comedy Channel. It is currently looking for a new TV station to continue airing its shows.

Hmmm, I didn’t find it all that funny. It suggests that public schools are places where there are things to fear and where you cannot learn to read properly, etc. Remind me to make a video one day about private schools, which are full of people who are afraid of other people… (I spent 5 of 12 years in private schools)
To be honest: as a translator one encounters many occasions for some humour.
