Auto-Tune Parodying

Check out the Epic Jimmy Fallon 2009 Emmys Fall

— September 23, 2009 — Pop Culture
The Jimmy Fallon 2009 Emmys fall will go down in history. Okay fine, it will be laughed at consistently today and for the rest of the week, after which the hilarity will dwindle and be forgotten until the next celebrity wipeout is witnessed.

For those of you who didn’t catch the Emmy Awards, what I mean when I refer to the ‘The Jimmy Fallon 2009 Emmys fall’ is this: actor and comedian Jimmy Fallon tried to get the crowd moving with a funny, sing-song skit on the prevalance of auto-tuning (a crack at T-Pain and Kanye West perhaps?) by jumping, dancing, and singing… then falling right on his rear.

Granted, it was probably staged, but it still looked like it hurt—a lot. Check out this video and see for yourself!
Trend Themes
1. Auto-tune Parodies - As people find humor in auto-tuned music, parody videos and songs could continue to gain popularity on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
2. Live Streaming Mishaps - As live stream videos become more prevalent amidst the pandemic, the potential for comedic, accidental moments like Jimmy Fallon's fall could create viral sensations.
3. Celebrity Fails - As the public continues to seek humorous and lighthearted entertainment, celebrity fails and bloopers could become increasingly popular on social media platforms.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - Entertainment companies and content creators could take advantage of auto-tune parodies, live streaming mishaps, and celebrity fails to create engaging and shareable content for their audiences.
2. Social Media - Social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok could see an increase in user activity as people consume and create content based on auto-tune parodies, live streaming mishaps, and celebrity fails.
3. Advertising and Marketing - Advertisers and marketers could incorporate auto-tune parodies, live streaming mishaps, and celebrity fails into their campaigns to create content that resonates with younger audiences who enjoy humorous, relatable, and shareable content.
