Loved the first season, the only one I didn't love was the Capone episode, but I guess it just fell a little flat for me

In Cold Blood
SOME kind of Capote takeoffthough neither star's quite pudgy enough to play him : )
Capote's life was filled with such pathetic comedy, already. I think it was Lee Radziwill who said, "His voice was so high only dogs could hear it" (!!)Beyond that, what about the excruciatingly precocious
My Kid Could Paint That
(2007) ?

Or the insultingly, almost ineptly, fraudulent
Catfish
(2010) ?

Meanwhile, my two absolute favorite documentaries,
Trekkies
http://www.imdb.com/board/10120370/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
and
Tribute
http://www.imdb.com/board/10297439/?ref_=fn_al_tt_5
are so wild they're practically spoofs already.
I also think that new Netflix abomination Making a Murderer is ripe for a sendup. It's so obviously slanted to a particular point of view there's no objective journalism there. -

I'm not a documentary person, the only stuff I know is Exit through the Gift Shop, Inconvenient Truth, General Tso's Chicken, Wordplay, Supersize Me, Spike Lee's stuff, Werner Herzog, and Michael Moore. I was vaguely aware of the origin for the Kanuck documentary.
So I'd like to say the more popular the documentary, the cooler it would be.
I disagree about the fake band, I think that Fred Armisen is too hyper-tuned into the social norms of the concert world, so what's funny in his head isn't that funny to the rest of the world. His humor is very esoteric and I already felt like the Test Pattern episode was derivative of the Blue Jeans Committee.

Gimme Shelter is the one I'd most like to see them take on. I don't know who could play Jagger but I can see Hader as a taciturn Charlie Watts.
There's a lesser known documentary called "Super Size She" about a female bodybuilder and it is just screaming for a spoof it almost seems like one itself.
Also I loved "Cutie and the Boxer" and I think Hader & Armisen would have a blast playing those two parts.
I wish they'd find an excuse to bring in Will Forte for an episode - I loved his chemistry with Armisen on SNL. -

I'd love Another State of Mind, or any of the Decline of Western Civilizations, but I don't know if they'd go for them.
My Amityville Horror, Winnebago Man, Room 237, Gates of Heaven, Crumb, The People Vs. O.J. Simpson, Beyond The Mat would all be great. And I agree on Heavy Metal Parking Lot I'd love to see somebody re-create that. The Beaver Trilogy's already been re-created but I wouldn't mind more
