Shark Movie Spoofs

Barknado is a Cute Parody that Encourages People to Adopt Dogs

— July 31, 2014 — Lifestyle
'Sharknado 2: The Second One' hit the silver screen last night to the delight of questionable fans with access to the SyFy channel, but there is a shark movie spoof that shadowed its debut. Barknado is an adorable take on the made-for-TV movie starring Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and Vivica A. Fox.

Although it looks like a simple shark movie spoof at first, Barknado sends a stronger message in the end, unlike its inspiration. The only way to stop the inevitable fury of unwanted dogs is to adopt them. Created by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA, the shark movie spoof is one that people can get behind. That is, unless people really do enjoy sharks attacking big cities from a tornado.
