Men in Tights and Parody.

 

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights, is full of verbal and situational irony, as well as a huge number of parodies. In the above clip, there is situational irony because men don't normally wear tights. They also shouldn't be talking about how manly they are because they're wearing tights. The whole clip is verbal irony because it's really saying the opposite of them being manly, because they continue to bump into each other and dance and say they do things that are not manly. Finally, the whole movie is a parody of other Robin Hood movies. It makes fun of the medieval outfits worn in similar movies as well as fighting styles and romances. The movie is comical but it is also pointing out the faults in the other movies that could be improved.

I love this movie. And i agree with all of your points. I thinks its hilarious how they use situational irony when the men are saying they are so manly wearing the tights. Also, how they have the small girly moments throught the song.

i agree, i also think that it not only points out faults in other robin hood movies, but also pokes fun at how other movies take things so seriously. and how ridiculous it is when clearly you can have just as much fun dancing like a women.
