This is an parody because its entertaining us on how every body buy things off ebay.. For example in the video it shows how people buy unneccessary stuff on ebay ie. dr. dre's used tissue.. Funny!
The first song is a Satire because its purpose is to make a point. the second song is a parody because its purpose is to entertain and its mimicking a song.
This selection is a form of satire. It pokes fun at people who buy all of their things from the website and proves a point that says people spend too much time and money on eBay.
The first video was a Satire, which was to make a point about downloading songs off of file sharing. The second video was a parody, which was to entertain, which it was about EBay and buying things.
The first one is a satire.Even though it also entertain,it talks about a real issue and you could have learned if you didnt know that downloading music is illigel.The first one proves a point.The second one is a parody beacuse i think it entertained me and nothin more.It didnt make a point and it didnt teach me anything.
this song is a parody bc it entertains us and proves a point. its entertaining bc it shows how stupid society is this days on how they spend theyr money on stuff they dont need.
it was a good satire. It clearly states the point that too many people live on Ebay and buy completely pointless things such as tissues used by a famous person, and a used pink bathrobe.
This is most likely a parody because it's entertaining. First off, it's making fun of the back street boys song and then makeing fun of ebay. It's portraying ebay sells random stuff and everyone buys stuff off of it because its so cheap and easy.
Dont download this song is a satire because it is making a point not to download songs off the internet. For example in the video it is dramatizing that if you do download music off the internet you would go to jail no matter what age you are.. Pretty Funny and Informing
Both of the videos are satires. The first one, "Don't download this song", is about how obsessive people get over illegaly downloading songs from music sharing websites. Weird Al is making the point that this isn't such a big deal by saying things about how he wont be able to buy a solid gold HumV or a diamond studded swimming pool without income from the CD version of the song. He also says that downloading music is the gateway to crime and hell. The second video is a satire also because it talks about how people obsess over buying other people's knicknacks from ebay. He makes fun of people who buy things like elf alarm clocks and pet rocks. Weird Al is making the point that it's ridiculous what people will buy off of ebay from all over the world. It could also be considered a parody because it is making fun of the Backstreet Boys who wrote the original song.
The ebay video is a parody, because it is making fun of the things you can buy on ebay and how people actually buy the stuff up for sale. for example: a used pink bathrobe, or an elf clock. It is entertaining us & it is also using the same song as the backstreet boys song I Want It That Way.
"Don't download this song" is a satire because its trying to make a point. Also, it is using hyperbole to get the point across. It says that downloading illegal music is the "gateway drug" to all crime. If you begin downloading illegal music, you'll most likely end up selling crack or running over children with your car.
"Ebay Song" is parody, because its main purpose is to entertain. Although Al may be poking fun at people who overuse ebay, it doesn't have a message, and isn't trying to convince the audience to stop or reduce their use of Ebay. He is merely listing a bunch of crazy things you could buy on Ebay, such as used tissues or an elf alarm clock.
"dont download this song" is a satire because it is an original song that makes a point about the extent that artists will go to to get their money. wether they are going after a grandmother or a 7 year old boy they want to get more uneeded money. The second song is a parody because it is making fun of an original song. The ebay song is funny because it shows the ridiculous things that people purchase on ebay, such as smurf tv trays and bath robes.
The downloading song is not a parody. It is satire because it isn't making fun of something, it just exaggeration of what will happen if people download illegal music. The downloading song is making a point that when people download music, the artists aren't losing money because "they already have gold hum-Vs" meaning they are already rich. The second video, EBAY, is a parody because it is making fun of what people buy on Ebay and how much money they waste. He quotes in the song "I get stuff every single day in the mail." This is what a lot of pepole do who are really into Ebay like him.
The first selection is a form of satire. It showcases the illegal activites that many people commit everyday but it also lightens the subject by listing different reprecussions i.e. selling crack, running over school children etc.
"Dont download this song" is an examle of satire. It is telling you if you download songs illegally you will go to hell, or you will begin to sell crack and run over school children with your car. This song is telling you not to download music because it is illegal.
"I bought it on e-bay" is also an example of a satire. It is making fun of people who purchase pointless items on e-bay. It can also be a parody, becausae it saying that people do buy these things such as used bathrobes, a pet rock, used tissues, and famous peoples old things.
The first one is a satire because it is making a point about not downloading songs for free. and the second one is a parody because during the video, they change the words to the song to entertain and also they are using ebay.
The first song is a Satire because its purpose is to make a point. the second song is a parody because its purpose is to entertain and its mimicking a song.
The first video was a satire because it proves the point that Americans make to big of a deal out of downloading music. This video only address one side of the topic. It shows how outrageous artist are for sueing people for stealing music.
The second video is a parody. It is used as entertainment, poking fun at ebay users. An example buying tube socks offline is a joke.
The first song is a Satire because its purpose is to make a point. the second song is a parody because its purpose is to entertain and its mimicking a song.
"Don't download this song" is a satire because its getting apoint across. The part where it says if you download music from limewire or other illegal websites you will go to hell, or sell crack, or even run over school children with your car.
"I bought it on ebay" is a parody, because it is making fun of people who buy poinless or used stuff off ebay. Its trying to get people to stop purchasing items, such as used bathrobs, tissues, or an alarm clcok.
I think the first video is satire. I say this because its making a point about stealing music and how you can get in trouble for doing this. It says that you will end up in jail and selling crack.
I think the EBAY video is both. I think its parody because its an imitation of a Backstreet Boys song and its sole purpose is to entertain. I also think its satire because its making a point that people are too obsessed with ebay.
The "Ebay" song is a parody because it is using a song by the Backstreet Boys but changing the lyrics. It is also and more of a satire, however, because the video mentions things that display how people today in our society spend money to buy a lot of "useless crap" on Ebay. With quotes like "i'll buy the stuff you would throw away," "tell me why i bought that elf alarm clock?" "gonna buy a slightly damaged golf bag." The whole song is naming the random things that people buy everyday on ebay. It just shows how our society will buy anything on ebay because they think its valuable and are getting it for a steal.
The "Don't download this song" is strictly a satire because it is an entertaining bit that also makes a point about downloading music illegally. It is saying that yes it is illegal and should not be done, but then also makes a point that the government punishes people too harshly for downloading illegally. "Then robbing liquor stores, then selling crack." This lyric is showing how the government compares downloading music illegally to a more intense crime. "How else can i afford another solid gold hum-v?" This lyric is showing that stealing music does not take a lot of money from the artists when they gross an insane amount of money already. I would have to say the point of this satire is that the government is way too harsh on pirating music, however, one should not download music illegally because it is still illegal.
I think its both parody and satire because the first one is satire and is talking about like downloading illeagl music and its like a gateway to doing illegal things. Then the second one is parody because it is making fun of people on ebay and how obsessed they get about ebay and buying stuff.
The first one is a satire because it is trying to make a point to not download music illegally from the internet. saying if you do it you're a criminal and going to end up in jail with murders and thiefs. also its saying downloading music is putting you at a criminals level.
the second song is a parody because its making fun of an old song, using it to explain how people live on ebay and buy completely pointless things such as tissues used by a famous person and a used pink bathrobe.
The first song is satire because there is a lot of exaggeration for example in the song he says "you'll burn in hell if you download this song". The second song is also a satire because it is amusing and it is directed to people who go on ebay and buy useless things. He even said "I don't know why the things people usually throw away i'll buy on ebay" which is making the point that people buy useless things on ebay.
The first video, dont download this song, is a satire. it is a satire bc it is trying to get a point across to the viewers. we all know that we arent really going to go to jail or run over kids with our cars, but they are saying that downloading songs off the net is the "gateway crime".
the first one is satire because it is making a point of how it is ridiculous to put people in jail for downloading music and how the artists already have enough money. For example, we see this through "How else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee And diamond-studded swimming pools".
the second one is a parody because it is an imitation of the song by the backstreet boys but it is also satire because it is making a point about how people by ridiculous and pointless things on ebay. This line shows some of the pointless things people buy on ebay, "Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox) Wanna buy (a case of vintage tube socks) Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, used by Dr. Dre... hey) (Found it on eBay)".
i agree with the people that said they are both satire.They both have a point.One is more serious than the other one,thats why i didnt think they were the same!
the first video is a satire because the singer pofes fun at people downlodaing music illegally and they lawmakers that punish them. he starts by saying " if you feel the urge to break intenational copyright laws..... just know the shame will haunt you forever." this is a satire because anyone downloading music doesn't think of it as breaking an "intetional law" and the artist is saying that they should. he also says the police will "treat you like the criminal scum you are." in this sentence, he's now poking fun at the law makers that punish plagiarizm; the video makes a show of chasing the little boy and him climbing the tower before the finally shoot him. the artist is telling the government that there are worst crimes in the world than plagiarizm and they should focus their attention on that.
"dont download this song" is a satire because it has a purpose. In this song Weird Al is making fun of the music industry by showing that they go overboard to get their money from people. The song talks about how grandmothers and 7 year olds are being harrassed for downloading songs.
The ebay song can be both a satire and a parody. It is a satire because it is pointing out how people buy completely useless things off of ebay that they dont need. It is also a parody because it is using an original song to make the point.
The first video, "Don't Download This Song" by Weird Al Yankovic is a satire.
