# Mayoral Scandal Parodies This Hour Has 22 Minutes Creates Mock Rob Ford Reality Show By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-11-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rob-ford References: [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/Ut4NhTzUJqI) With the news that Rob [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidl-ben-bracken-islay-single-malt) has been ordered to step down as mayor of Toronto, This Hour Has 22 Minutes is launching the fake reality show "Robbie Boo Boo." The [spoof reality show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primer-donnas) is presented as if it is a legitimate TLC program, but plays on the notoriety of the [popular show Honey Boo Boo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slc-scoop). In the clip, a Rob Ford impersonator sits on his desk in a pink tutu and shirt and tie while he talks about his new show and even touches on his conflict of interest problems. "I gotta go to court because they say I dun had a conflict of interest," says the Ford impersonator. "But that ain't true. I dun never been conflicted because I dun never been interested in nothin!" In reality, Rob Ford will now file an appeal to the court's decision as well as a stay to allow him to continue day to day operations as mayor while his case is heard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spoof Reality Shows:** Opportunity for creating parodies of popular reality shows to provide humorous commentary on topical issues. - **Political Satire:** Opportunity to use humor and satire to critique political figures and events, engaging audiences and prompting dialogue. - **Entertainment Mockery:** Opportunity to create comedic content that mocks and satirizes public figures, events, or popular culture for entertainment purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television:** Television industry can leverage the trend of spoof reality shows to attract viewers and create compelling content. - **Media and Entertainment:** Media and entertainment industry can capitalize on the trend of political satire to engage audiences, spark conversations, and attract advertisers. - **Comedy and Humor:** Comedy clubs, stand-up comedians, and comedy platforms can take advantage of the trend of entertainment mockery to provide comedic content and attract audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Valentine's-Themed Comedy Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/factory-theatre.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Tongue-In-Cheek Grilling Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/may0-petition.md) - [TV Show-Generating AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fable-1.md) - [Playful Thanksgiving Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lie-pie.md) - [Beauty Crime Mockumentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-criminals.md) - [Cheeky Celeb-Inspired Fictional Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond.md) - [Timely Delivery-Centric Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-pizza-4.md) - [Spoof Cosmetics Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-next-top-primer.md)
