Detournement | |
| Détournement | comment |
Détournement ("rerouting" or "hijacking" in French) is a form of Parody in which existing material—especially advertising, Public Service Announcements, Very Special Episodes and Aesops of the more Anvilicious or paranoid sort—is co-opted or repurposed for a message different from (or better yet, completely opposite to) the one it was originally intended to give. The Trope Namer is the Situationist International movement, a French Marxist movement focused on the effects of mass alienation through cultural control. They asserted that people within a mass culture were manipulated by a constant mass-media / government / "religion of spectacle" proposed by Guy Debord in "Society of the Spectacle." Detournement was one way of bringing modern art into politics, since they rejected any 20th century art that removed itself from the politics of its time. Not to be confused with Dénouement. See also Gag Dub and Gag Sub. |

Space Ghost Coast to Coast rearranged whatever his guests said to make it look like everyone was as crazy as Space Ghost. It's safe to say that Ghost Planet, no, that entire Universe, is Cloudcuckooland. | |

The climax of the early Daffy Duck short Daffy Duck in Hollywood has Daffy creating an insanely goofy movie by editing newsreel clips — actually live-action Warner Bros. stock footage — together and giving them absurd voiceovers/soundtracks. For instance, a zoo lion proclaims "Motion pictures are your best entertainment!" and jitterbug music underscores an elegant waltz. Some might say that Daffy Duck made the first YouTube Poop. | |

This is half the purpose of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. More The Colbert Report. Jon Stewart has said in interviews that he and his crew try very hard not to distort the message of anything they put on air unless it is clearly intended to be farcical. In general, when The Daily Show wanted to undercut something on political grounds (as opposed to when it was simply incomprehensible), they used a variation of this trope: making their own "version", and doing it very poorly. |

Not the Nine O'Clock News They did this with the rather threatening British television licence PSA campaign using the slogan "Get a TV licence - it's cheaper than a fine"; their parody showed The BBC instead staging plane crashes for people that didn't pay their licence fee and then having their houses bulldozed, with the slogan "Get a TV licence — it's cheaper than a funeral". They were also fond of mucking about with news footage: for instance the Queen inspecting soldiers on a Commonwealth visit being presented as her trying to identify the man who stole her handbag from a police line-up. |

The webcomic Darths & Droids, which uses stills from the Star Wars films to tell a story of a group of tabletop gamers improvising the films' plots. It tells a story as wildly different from the original films as possible, while still being constrained to actual screenshots. | |

This often happens with Chick Tracts - a somewhat popular pursuit is to take one and replace the dialogue so that it gives the exact opposite message, the original message in even more anvilicious terms, or something completely different. | |

Some of the earliest viral videos on YouTube — arguably what put the site on the map — were the ones that simply edited select shots from movies into fake trailers that made them out to be a completely different kind of film, like the one that made The Shining look like a family comedy. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In "Beauty & the Beasts" a road safety poster behind Buffy says Most Women Aren't Attracted To Dead Guys, a Visual Pun referring to Buffy's vampire boyfriend Angel. | |
