the mockumentary

One form of documentary is the form that 'mocks' or 'makes fun of' the format:

It started like this perhaps:



BBC: Spaghetti-Harvest in Ticino - YouTube
Panorama - April Fool's Day Hoax - Spaghetti Harvest - 1st April 1957 - YouTube

A more modern example of a 'short':

Some would describe this as a 'mockumentary':



A Hard Day's Night (The Beatles) Película Completa Subtitulada al Español - YouTube

A Hard Day's Night (1964), written by Alun Owen, and purporting to describe several days in the lives of The Beatles, was possibly the first feature film that could be characterized as a "mockumentary".

Or you might prefer this:



The Rutles - All You Need Is Cash - YouTube

The film has many cameo appearances by both British and American comedians, including Monty Python, Saturday Night Live andRutland Weekend Television. George Harrison has a cameo role as a television journalist conducting an interview outside the headquarters of Rutle Corps, oblivious to the stream of people coming out of the building carrying items stolen from the office; this is a reference to the Beatles' famously plundered Apple Boutique and Apple Headquarters, where even the ceiling lining was looted. The interview ends abruptly as the microphone is stolen out of his hand.

Talking of music, some would say this is the best:

Then we have a little more music:

However, this is considered the modern grandaddy of the mockumentary:



The Office - My Top 25 Funniest Lines - YouTube

When it was first shown on BBC Two, it was nearly cancelled due to low ratings, but has since become one of the most successful of all British comedy exports.
