Last year i watched Sandy Passage, i loved, found it very funny. Ive only got to see Grey Gardens, last week, and i was mesmerized, and now i love the parody even more, but you don't have to necessarily know the originals ones to enjoy it.

So true! They only one that was really funny for me was the "Grey Gardens" spoof because I have watched that doc before. I wounder what they are spoofing with the one about the globe salesmen. I would like to watch the doc before it is on.

I'd like to know what the original idea was for the globe salesmen, also. I did like the whole black and white and the clothing, cars and general style of that era, though. It was perfect. (I'm old, I was there.)

It might have been that "Door to Door" movie with William H Macy. Seemed to have had elements of Glengary Glen Ross and Tinmen in it.
I didn't have an LOL moment in this one until the Rothsteins.

They are spoofing the 1968 Maysles' documentary Salesman:

You definitely want to check out the original documentary as I found it highly entertaining and a great time capsule. -

I don't watch many documentaries, but there are only a few real spoofs, am I right?
I know about Green gardens, then the one which spoofed "Nanook the escimo" and the recent one they tell here about its a spoof o a movie called salesman. But othern than that? I just had the feeling the other ones were not based on real movies, but each on a special type of documentaries. -

Some episodes are based very heavily on the original, but some others are only inspired by the original documentary.
