Intertextuality – where a text (such as a film) refers to another text (TV Programme/Film/Books/Comics etc). For example,’ The Simpsons’ use this often when they use certain famous film lines or famous characters that link to another Film or TV Programme.
Bruce Almighty at the Niagara Falls - This clip of the Bruce Almightily film includes Intertextuality when Bruce compares the interviewee with the Titanic story.
Kiss-Ass – This film relates to Superheroes in general, but relates to ‘Batman’ because of the costume and the way that the character ‘Big Daddy’ talks.
Disaster Movie – This film (along with Epic Movie and Scary Movie) contain Intertextuality all the way through the films because they are making fun at them constantly. I think overall, Intertextuality is mainly used in comedy genres because it is making comedy out of other films. It is highly effective because the audience will be able to relate to these other films and know where the humour is coming from.
