“Dogville” (Lars VonTrier’s Dogville)

Probably our most bizarre parody since our parody of David Lynch’s “Eraserhead.” When Pal Friendlies makes an unexpected visit to the set, he accidentally causes a light to fall on Greg’s head, rendering him unconscious. Poor Greg suddenly finds himself waking up in the strange world of Dogville. Here, we enter the signature style of Lars VonTrier’s “Dogville” – where everything is shot in a black void, with major sets and props represented by chalk outlines. All his friends are here, but aren’t quite themselves. Lap Fliesrend, a man who looks a lot like Pal, brings Greg into town. Once there, Greg is told he can stay so long as he takes on a series of local chores. And like Nicole Kidman in the film, Greg soon finds himself taken advantage of. UNLIKE the film, Greg soon learns to use the town’s unique style against itself. And, armed with chalk and an eraser, he soon starts to “rewrite” things to suit his needs – turning simple items like an old washtub into luxurious items like a jaccuzi tub. Soon this simple little town becomes corrupted by Greg’s influence, and they “steal” all his belongings. Enraged, Greg reacts by burning the entire town to the ground (by writing FIRE on the walls with red chalk…) But of course it was all a dream – and Greg wakes to find himself back on the set of our show, where his only worries are the serious blow to the head he received. He begins frothing at the mouth and dies from an aneurysm.
