“Clash of the Titans” Cartoon Parody
After I rented this movie, I had the inspiration for my Deaf Reel version. It makes me laugh. Most of my cartoons make me laugh because what would be the point if they didn’t? But this one REALLY makes me laugh. After defeating Medusa, the Kraken, The blind witches, and countless other mythological beast its actually Tinnitus that is Perseus’ Achilles heel. (added mythological reference intended)
So to all of the Deaf Gods and Goddess out there – have a ringin’ good time this Labor Day weekend.

“The Other Guys” Cartoon Parody
As my family and I were driving in West Hollywood the other day, we saw a way-over-the-top HUGE billboard for the movie “The Other Guys”. Hollywood is like that. When things are done here they are done in a BIG way.
So I guess the Hollywood and Highland mall cop was taking his inspiration from the near-by billboard and went way-over-the-top in his pursuit of the would-be deaf shoplifter. He went after him in a BIG way.
So I had to make a comedic comment on the whole situation because – well – I am comic and that is what we do in a BIG way-over-the-top way.

“Toy Story 3″ Cartoon Parody
Hey folks,
Here is another a cartoon parody that represents the classic tale growing up deaf. I am sure many of us had the experience of feeling confused about our true identity. Especially when so many people were telling us what to do to become normal. Teachers, parents, therapists, doctors and even deaf people themselves told us to do this or that or wear this or that. It was never fun being toyed with in that way.
So I couldn’t help think that Mr. Potato Head must feel our pain. Talk about not having an identity. One minute he has ear on top of his head and the next, an eye coming out of his mouth. Poor spud!!
So let this Deaf Reel serve as some comic relief for the many times we felt frustration about everyone trying to make us “normal”. After all what is normal anyway? I am sure no one could even say. Especially Mr. Potato Head.

“Dinner for Schmucks” Cartoon Parody
This is a perfect cartoon parody that represent the classic tale growing up deaf and having dinner with people who don’t use sign language. It’s never fun. We may even be tempted to call them Schmucks but we wouldn’t dare. Because after-all we love them or we wouldn’t be having dinner with them. So let this parody do the talking for you so that you can maintain your relationships and still have a good laugh to relieve the frustrations you feel.

“Inception” Cartoon Parody
It’s summer. It’s hot. So it would make sense that there would be a hot summer movie that everyone is talking about. So here is my comic spin on the blockbuster movie, “Inception”. I couldn’t help but laugh thinking of the deaf version of this movie. The world could be in a dream state collapsing and that would not concern us as much as not having enough signal strength to send a text message. Argghhh!— now that’s a nightmare.
Thank goodness for technology. Nowadays we panic if ANYTHING happens to our wireless devices but I can remember clearly the day when we had clunky TTYs and we were so grateful to have them!!! So as the dog days of summer wind down enjoy the wonderful technology we have in the year 2010. I know when I am playing Texas Hold’em Poker on my Blackberry the world could transform around me into a mind blowing maze of confusion and I wouldn’t even notice.
