Could have been funny, but isn't. The speech rythmns do not resemble Mamet's. Sure, there's a lot of swearing but that's only one Mamet trademark, and not typical of all his work (see "Oleanna"). It's the odd rythmns, the punchy, musical quality of the exchanges, the interjections and overlapping sentences that make Mamet completely recognizable to the ear, not the swearing.
god this sucks. This is what happens to fourth rate community theater actors with too much time on their hands. You don't have the vaguest clue as to the essence of what Mamet is doing - and the fact that this shit has credits...vile.
Godzilla himself and Mamet himself couldn't have done it any better!

Go, go, Godzilla! This did borrow from Fakezilla, though, as already pointed out. Otherwise, a worthy tribute to Godzilla and Mamet.

This is more like David Lynch's Godzilla more than Mamet's.
The dialogue is to ironically surreal and, while some of it sounds like Gozilla, it's not plain enough...still, good try.

I fear you may be taking it a little too seriously.

Yeah, that's Mamet alright. Hit the nail on the head.

I think they're making a joke based on the American version where Fakezilla was able to lay his own eggs without needing a mate.

Brilliant dialogue. Hilarious. So perfectly Mamet.
