Lady Gaga Telephone Parody (ft Beyonce): Key of Awesome #17 In a nostalgic throwback to the comedic stylings of early YouTube, the "Lady Gaga Telephone Parody" from the Key of Awesome series delivers a humorous and exaggerated take on the hit song featuring Beyoncé. This parody, laden with playful absurdities and tongue-in-cheek references, critiques both the original content and the pop music scene of its time.

Synopsis and Highlights​

The parody opens with a classic commentary on the artistic choices in Gaga's original "Telephone" video. The humor kicks off with lines suggesting that Gaga's previous hits were more meritorious and playfully disparages her choice to distract listeners with provocative visuals instead of solid music.

• Key Themes: The parody plays heavily on the absurd, employing dramatic visual and lyrical slapstick. From outrageous scenarios involving prison guards to bizarre dance sequences with "dead bodies," the parody mocks certain tropes common in pop culture.
• Memorable Lines: Wit and whimsy are all over the script, including humorous jibes about product placements and nonsensical dance moves. The portrayal of a chaotic environment full of "blood and guts" adds to the shock humor.
• Artist Commentary: The narrative positions the parody as a critique not only of the music video itself but also of broader production choices in pop songs of the time, culminating in a flurry of absurd comparisons, including mistakenly invoking childhood traumas and outlandish imagery.

  Community Reactions​

  Reflecting on the past—this video, uploaded back in 2011, stirs a sense of nostalgia for long-time fans of both the Key of Awesome series and the early parody culture on YouTube. The comedic approach demonstrates how the online landscape has evolved, particularly in how artists and creators engage with pop culture.
