minus-squareMaven (famous)@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·10 months agoMy theory for the behind the scenes: McFarland: I would like to make a star trek parody! Fox: oh sounds awesome, lots of funny jokes and stuff. Should be funny. M: yes haha, funny. F: yes… Anyway here’s the money Making episode one M: I gotta make sure there’s loads of jokes so I can show this to execs and they see the haha bits Making episode 3 M: okay I think they’re gone… Time to just literally make normal star trek episodes making the last episode of s1 F: hey I see you’re almost done with the first season so I’m just checking in that the show is still funny M: quickly adding in as many jokes as the last second as possible haha yes humor! Jokes! Plenty of them! Haha yes
