{{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."''|'''[[Andrew Hussie]]'''}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[~~Seitokai~~ no ~~Ichizon~~]]'' is a pretty good example of parody Anime. They even do this right before the start of the first episode, citing stuff that would probably get them sued for copyrights left and right.

* ''[[Student Council's Discretion]]'' is a pretty good example of parody Anime in the first few episodes of the first season. They even do this right before the start of the first episode, citing stuff that would probably get them sued for copyrights left and right.

* ''[[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' parodies all Anime, particularly ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''

* ''[[Slayers]]'' is a good-natured send-up of [[Heroic Fantasy]] novels, games, and anime.
