The Big Lebowski Spoofs

One of the main ways in which fans can express their devotion to The Big Lebowski is through making parody versions of the film. There is the sense that these fans want to prove themselves, and therefore are becoming more active by making such media products.

Fans are highly critical and creative audiences; they don't just criticise their beloved shows or franchises when they fall short of their expectations, they also make their own fan films, or write their own fan fiction. They want to express how these shows or franchises resonate with them.

For example, the YouTube channel Funny Or Die made a spoof version of The Big Lebowski, which emphasises how fans are making the best use of digital media in order to find more creative ways of expressing such devotion.
