Line 449:
* [[Girl Genius]] parodies pulp 1940s serials, old-school science fiction, and every mad scientist trope in the book (the ''main characters'' all suffer from a trait which causes both madness and scientific genius ... or rather, they enjoy every minute of it.)
* Looking For Group started as a parody of World of Warcraft, but eventually turned into a parody of the High Fantasy/MMORPG genre as a whole.
* ''[[Voodoo Walrus]]'' reveled in this in introducing an [https://web.archive.org/web/20190614001738/http://voodoowalrus.com/?p=828 entire team of overly muscled], gun toting mercenaries ala the comic anti-heroes of the late 80's and early 90's. The overuse of pouches and loud colors might suggest poking fun at Rob Liefeld's creations.
* The "Legends of Celida" storyline of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' is a parody of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and deconstructs how Zelda's Sheik form works.
* The cast of ''[[Times Like This]]'' occasionally do this, discussing what could've happened in Star Wars; or Gilligan's Island; or various commercials redone with historical figures. They even re-enacted the opening to a TV show.
