Hey there guys. Hope everyone is doing well. I just thought I'd let all the MonsterQuest fans out there know about a MonsterQuest spoof on Youtube I found. To find it search Monstergrooves. It's about the british bigfoot. Surprisingly it's really funny! They've stayed pretty true to the MQ formula. I private msgd the makers and apparently they've actually sent it to the MQ team!. Anyway lets talk about it MQ fans.....

Oh man I really liked it! Did u watch all the way to the end of part 2?.....Maybe I liked it so much as I am a huge MJ fan too, It's spot on satire of MQ tho....I may love the show but there is like 7 episodes where they just go after bigfoot lol

I think they're trying too hard to parody something that can't be parodied, simply because MQ spoofs itself.

Hey just wondering what u meant by MQ spoofs itself? I'm not being patronising I've just seen ppl say tht on boards before and no1 has ever elaborated............Also there must be something wrong wiv my sense of humour as I thought Monstergrooves was awesome especially then ending! Plz if ne1else liked it asy so lol I'm beginning to wonder if I know whats funny, I do like chevy chase.....Oh god what's wrong with me!

I did. The humour wasn't fresh and it felt less like a parody than a homage or even just an immature clone. I'm sorry laugh.gif

Lol, I didn't watch the whole thing, but it led me to watch the Monster Quest episode on Champ. It gave me something to do for a while, thanks! thumbsup.gif

I gotta disagree, I thought the humour was fresh. Ive never seen a MQ spoof before and Ive certainly never seen a bigfoot break it down like Michael lol......I thought the outtakes were funny too, tht bit spoofing takeshi castle lol!............Still wondering about the patronising remark Ebonykrow....?

MQ spoofs itself... Basically, you can't make fun of MQ because MQ does all of the making fun of. Amateur "investigators", poor equipment, little to no thought put into things at all...

Im surprised MQ has had tht reception! I can see what u mean in some aspects but what about episodes like the giant squid found and sasquatch attack?.....I mean they are getting results very rarely wiv their methods of investigation. I guess we have to realize they're not only after debated creatures but also trying to pull in the viewers.............Great Spoof tho!

The giant squid isn't a cryptid, one, and two, it was found on camera a long time before the episode. The bigfoot attack? I'm not sure. MQ was the only place I ever saw cover it, never a news story, never anywhere else, so I'm just not sure about that one.

Yeah I had seen other footage of giant squids but I thought MQs footage was of the biggest ever captured.....I guess the second one in this series may reveal more....Yeah the sasquatch episode was very interesting to me, and again there is another episode in this series so maybe we will find out more........They found some interesting things in the chupacarbra episode too, I believe in tht case its a type of hybrid between dog and coyote lr maybe an evolutionary jump.....I do think Monsterquest does offer alot tho and surely its only a matter of time before they get something on a camera trap lol!

Hey man I love MQ! I think its a great show, I do however think there are a numbe rof episodes where it is noticable they are reaching to fill their quota and pull in the viewers. E.G about 7 episodes about bigfoot, like Monstergrooves tries to spoof its a good exciting show but maybe should be called 'U.S Bigfoot hunt', I think the dance at the end of Monstergrooves kinda symbolised MQs impending decline into the bizarre . Plus they have done episodes on Ghosts and Vampires, which crytids are those?......The ghost episode was gd I thought.......I hope MQ continues but I do hope nxt series they only have 1 episode about Sasquatch and maybe the Ohio grassman as tht one was pretty cool......Who knows maybe MonsterQuest will find a Bigfoot dancing to Michael Jackson like Monstergrooves did!
