Lying To Michael Jackson

About This Movie

So, "Lying To Michael Jackson" is this 2003 sketch that takes a swing at the whole 'Living with Michael Jackson' doc. It's got this playful, satirical tone that's pretty distinct for a Comic Relief piece. The pacing bounces along nicely, keeping it light yet pointed. Performances are exaggerated, which you’d expect, but there's a cleverness in the absurdity that makes it stand out. The atmosphere captures that early 2000s vibe, and even if the director’s unknown, the spirit of the era is palpable. It’s like they really wanted to poke fun while also giving a nod to pop culture, which is always interesting to see.

This sketch has had a bit of a mixed life on home media. It’s not commonly found in typical formats, which adds to its collector intrigue. Some fans seek it out for its nostalgic ties to early 2000s comedy, but not everyone is aware of its existence. Consequently, it can be a bit of a scavenger hunt to find, which tends to elevate its status among those in the know.
