The Copycat Effect: "I Tell You Every'Tang"

When I think of copycatting the media, the first show that comes to mind is Mad TV. About three years ago, I was introduced to a character named Ms. Swan that I thought was hilarious. I loved how slow she acted in the skits, so I imitated some of them amongst friends and family. In the skits, she would always frustrate people because she would never answer a question. She would always reply “I will tell every’tang” and the question would never get answered. Being that I thought it was hilarious and cool, when my teachers or friends would ask me something, I would reply just as Ms.Swan. After I saw that they were getting frustrated, I stopped, but still thought it was hilarious afterwards. I while later, I decided to mock one of the skits where Ms.Swan went to the McRonalds drive thru and make it difficult for the drive thru worker. In attempt to imitate, I decided to go to a local McDonalds drive thru. I was having a blast until I found out that the person in the drive thru knew who I was. After that event, I kind of stopped copying Ms.Swan because it got old. I was also an independent experience for me because no one I knew was copying the skits, so I felt special for a period of time. I may just start copying some of the skits again by Ms.Swan. J
