Definition
and Generic Structure
Spoof is a functional text that has
an unpredictable part at the end called twist. The twist of the spoof is the
element that makes the story funny. The purpose of a spoof is to share a funny
story and amuse the readers. Spoof has the following structure:
Language
Features
When you tell a spoof, you tell your
real past experience. In telling your past experience, you need to use simple
past tense, so the action verbs in spoof are written in past form. For example:
ate, ran, went, thought, and felt. Moreover, spoof focuses on certain people or
animals that become the main characters of the story. The events of the story
are arranged chronologically based on the stages you experienced it. Thus,
using the adverb of time and place are one of the others features of spoof. To
illustrate, a moment later, some days ago, last weekend, back, down, and so on.
Sometimes, we are confused to
differentiate between anecdote and spoof since it is rather similar. They are
both related to funny stories and used to entertain the readers. However,
anecdote is different from spoof. A funny story that has a twist, unpredictable
moment, in the end is called the spoof. On the other hand, anecdote does not
have a twist. The generic structures of anecdote are abstract, orientation,
crisis, reaction and coda.
