Disebutkan dalam Cambridge Advance Learner's Dictionary Online, ada dua makna spoof. Pertama, sebagai kata benda, spoof bermakna, "a funny and silly piece of writing, music, theatre, etc. that copies the style of an original work". Sedang kedua, spoof sebagai kata kerja, bermakna, "to try to make someone believe in something that is not true, as a joke."
Dari
kedua arti spoof di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengertian spoof text
adalah sebuah teks yang berisi tentang humor meski sebagian teksnya
sudah dimodifikasi dari aslinya.
Generic Structure (Susunan umum) dalam spoof text adalah :
- Orientation, berisi pengenalan tokoh, latar, setting dll.
- Events, berisi peristiwa atau kejadian
- Twist, ending cerita (akhir cerita yang dianggap lucu, kadang tidak terduga)
Penjelasan mengenai orientation dan event sudah sering dibahas, khususnya pada pelajaran narrative text dan recount text. Dalam spoof text pun, orientation dan event tidak jauh berbeda dengan yang ada dalam narrative dan recount. Sedang untuk twist, bagi seorang yang belum terbiasa menulis cerita lucu mungkin sangat sulit; untuk memahami twist saja sudah sulit, apalagi mengarang sendiri...
Ya, untuk memahami twist, kita membutuhkan selera humor tinggi hingga kita mampu mencerna apa dibalik kelucuan yang terkandung dalam twist ini. Sebab biasanya sangat sulit memperkirakan, "apa sih bagian lucunya?"
