Current Events > Is it too late to talk about Trapped in the Closet? Or its parodies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just found out there was 33 parts. I have only seen the first five and went to Youtube to rewatch to find out Youtube deleted all his music videos years ago. Anyway went to one of the reaction channels and watched and forgot how funny it was. Quality drops in part 23-33 but there were still some moments. Apparently R Kelly said it was meant to be serious at one point.

That parodies were great too by Mad TV, Weird Al, and American Dad not sure if that can be discussed either since while different people it connected to R Kelly.

The South Park parody was great.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is the best one:

I'm glad at last minute I added "and parodies" just wasn't sure if people actually wanted to discuss the original. Like I had no idea about the package stuff going on.

Yea he constantly escalated stuff out of nowhere threatening to shoot people. Him singing every ones lines along and then on top of singing everyone lines he suddenly becomes a omnipresent narrator/character. Was also hilarious. That first time in media I seen an omnipresent narrator type person introduced in middle of an ongoing story.

I might need to rewatch the parodies but I think American Dad was only one that referenced the omnipresent/ghost or whatever you call it R Kelly character.

This is better than the original

I cant believe that was so hyped.

We lived in a different era.

I thought it was hilarious at the time I saw it. Also, Michael K. Williams was in it as the cop.

Too bad R. Kelly is a shit heap.

Yea. I guess it too late. If I had made the topic before 2019 maybe there could have been a discussion about original. The parodies are discussed a bit more in thread.

But I completely understand. You can't even see the original music videos on YouTube they got taken down. So the only way to view it even if you wanted is through reaction channels or videos where not all parts are in same video on Youtube. He is persona non grata. The songs are still up though. And the parodies are still up. So people can enjoy the music with the parodies without directly saying they like R Kelly music or what he created in the original.

And they said "We're not coming out the closet, so you can just go away"

Tom Cruise come outta the closet

The Mad TV parody was my gateway drug.
