“It’s the Story of…”
It’s fun, it’s easy! Annoy your friends, amaze your enemies!
It’s the Correctness Movie Pitch Mash up Game!
First, a bit of background. This past Halloween, in between sets of raging horror movie themed Pictionary, our very own RobbieRobtown introduced a little parlour game into our midst that was, apparently a favourite of the ever so hip improv crowd. The game was simple…you pitch two movies together, (You always start with “It’s the Story of…”) then deliver the title/punchline. Then the party lapsed into a deadly silence as everyone immediately started trying to think of one.
So, way to kill a party again, there Rob.
It’s easier to explain by example, so have a look at these examples provided by myself and the rest of the Correctness Funsters. If you want to play, add yours to the list in the comment section below.

IN THE BEGINNING, there was The Eighties. And the Eighties were wrong in the eyes of The Lord, and the sinners who worked at American Apparel had been born in the 90's, and they knew not how wrong they were to dress that way. And they knew not that pulp-porn imagery is creepy, and they knew not of how to work at a real job. The Lord looked upon American Apparel, and he frowned.
1. Yea, and the sky will crack, and fire will rain down, and those wearing retro non-prescription glasses frames from the eighties will be blinded immediately, and they will run in the streets and bleed from their anuses. For Vanity shall be the sin which ends the world. "Glasses are for seeing, not for fashion" sayeth The Lord, and The Lord shall say "Enough with the glasses, especially if you don't need them. How about I give you all a bleeding anus disease?". And so it shall be.

The Dark Knight Rider of the Law & Order: SVU
Watch Batman as he drives around his talking car in the old west solving gruesome sexual crimes.
“In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In the old west, the F#CKIN BATMAN who investigates these vicious felonies beats the shit out of offenders and runs over them with an over hyped talking car thereby creating a Special Victims Unit in the sanitarium. These are their stories.”
