Vazquez, Nestor (TTh) Documentary Now 100

Documentary Now! is an American mockumentary series that parodies the styles of many popular documentaries, poking fun at certain styles. You can see them realistically spoofing VICE documentaries in an episode about a fictitious drug lord. Each episode is a different parody, containing different gags and hilarious mockery. The show could be compared to another similar show called Portlandia where they spoof the lives of many Portland young, hip residents.

The series stars Portlandia star Fred Armisen, SNL star Bill Hader, and talk show host Seth Myers. The show just premiered on August 20, 2015 and is featured on IFC.

Here is a clip of an episode where they poke fun at VICE's style of filmmaking and stories by trying to find a fictitious drug lord in Ciudad Juarez named El Chingon.
