Line 40:
* Almost completely averted on ''[[The Simpsons]]'', which always takes care to either spoof pop-culture phenomena that have long been seen as classics, or parody current things that are ''already'' halfway funny (such as [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s movies in the early '90s).
** The show is, however, far from immune to [[Shallow Parody]].
** It's also moved away from this as it becomes more focused around celebrity cameos (with the celebrities voicing themselves), and as the writers get lazier and just start making fun of whatever they've got at hand at the moment. Of course, due to the rather long leadtime on episodes of The Simpsons, when they do hit a narrow parody it can often result in them referencing something that has already been forgotten by the time the episode comes out.
