{{quote|''"Not true, the sixth Element is mine, and that's faithfulness to the source material! The best parodies are the ones that positively build on the original work, rather then rely on repetitive cursing and pop culture jokes. There's a reason the original series caught people's attention in the first place, and paying tribute to that isn't a cop-out, its comedy!"''

{{quote|''"With [[MS Paint Adventures|MSPA]] I am always on the lookout for raw material to manipulate in esoteric ways, and it's usually garnered through satire. But then I ride that material pretty hard, and before you even know what's going on, it's not satirical anymore! Ask yourself this: at what point did [[Homestuck|John's]] love of ''[[Con Air]]'' cease to be a mockery of the film, and became more of a SHRINE to it? Hard to say."''
Line 70:
* [[Mad Magazine]] was for nearly its entire run defined by its parodies of major TV shows and movies...and real life as well.
* ''[[Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters]]'' is the first [[Teenage Mutant Samurai Wombats]] parody of the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''.
* ''[[Kamen America]]'' as a whole is a parody of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', though the title character is a parody of the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] character ''[[Carol Danvers]]''.

Line 161 ⟶ 162:
* ''[[Baseketball]]'' spoofs inspirational sports movies.
* ''Mafia!'' spoofs (you guessed it) gangster films. This was Lloyd Bridges' final film.
* ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]''!, Steve Oedekirk's awesome tribute to martial arts flicks.
* The Korean film ''[[The Host (2006 film)|The Host]]'' is hard to take as anything other than an Affectionate Parody of Asian monster movies. Watched with a group of friends, the movie is hilarious.
* ''[[Pootie Tang]]'', ''[[The Hebrew Hammer]]'', ''[[I'm Gonna Git You Sucka]]'', and ''[[Black Dynamite]]'' are a few examples of this trope on [[Blaxploitation]] movies.
Line 217 ⟶ 218:
* The ''[[Enchanted Forest Chronicles]]'' are affectionate parodies of fairy tales in general. Including but not limited to [[Sleeping Beauty]] (Cimorene's "Great Aunt Rose, who was asleep for a hundred years") and Rumpelstiltskin (a dwarf who ends up raising over a dozen children because he always asked the girls to guess his name, but they never could, even after he changed it, so he had to take their babies).
* [[Sandy Mitchell]]'s ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'' ([[TV Tropes/Memes|mandatory]] '''[[Fake Ultimate Hero|HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]''') novels are a weird case. While their main purpose is to point out and spoof the more ridiculous aspects of the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe, they actually take place in it, and are apparently considered canon. So, it's a strange blend of this trope and [[Take That Us|Take That, Us]].
* ''[[Doon]]'' was put out by National Lampoon (who also put out ''Bored of the Rings'', back when they were still Harvard students). It's a clever parody of ''Dune,'' covering everything from the complex ecosystem of Dune to Herbert's writing style (i.e., "it is a France-like thing"; "Girl-Children Just Want to Have Pleasure-Fun").
* ''Snooze: The Best of Our Magazine'' (1986) is supposed to be a collection of writing from the ''[[New Yorker]]''. (It even includes parodies of the kind of cartoon found in the magazine, and also things like filler paragraphs and drawings.) It qualifies as an Affectionate Parody because only people who read the ''New Yorker'' would relate to ''Snooze'', and at least two ''New Yorker'' writers contributed to it.
* ''[[Casabianca]]'': innumerable parodies, especially ''Casabazonka'' by [[Spike Milligan]], are collectively vastly better known than the original.
Line 344 ⟶ 345:
** Some if these you actually have to be fairly familiar with the writings yourself to even get. For example, in the intro Isildur's death is blamed on the ring's treachery, which causes Mike to remark that being a bloodthirsty tyrant may have had ''something'' to do with it.
* Ray Larabie made affectionate parody ''fonts''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Otaq2tmNMM ''Space Stallions''] is an affectionate parody of cartoons from [[The Eighties|the '80s]] and late [[The Seventies|'70s]] such as ''[[He
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 496 ⟶ 497:
* The ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode "For Real" include shots of people commenting on the trials over the internet in what can only be a affectionate jab at series fans, and at [[Shipping Tropes|shippers]] in particular.
* ''[[Veggie Tales]]'' parodies things frequently, some examples being:
** ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' ("Lord of the Beans"),
** ''[[Star Trek]]'' ("[[The Gods Must Be Crazy|The Gourds Must Be Crazy]]"),
** ''[[Hamlet]]'' ("Omelet"),
Line 544 ⟶ 545:
* ''[[Regular Show]]'': Rigby's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbEsbZzKExs favorite internet video] may be an affectionate parody of ''[[Homestar Runner]]''.
* ''[[The Goode Family]]'' had an episode ("[[Butt Monkey|Gerald]]'s Way or The High Way") that [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|has tons of parodies to mafia films, prison films and RobertDeNiro films]].
* ''[[Superjail]]'' Lord Stringray is a parody of ''[[G.I. Joe]]''{{'}}s Cobra Commander.
