The porn industry really only has one product to sell. That's graphic depictions of people having sex. Naturally this makes things very competitive with each production company looking for an edge in the marketplace.

So much like Hollywood itself, it [[Follow the Leader|exploits that which is already successful]].

There are ([http://www.ugo.com/the-goods/best-porn-parodies of] [http://www.ugo.com/the-goods/porn-parodies-pop-culture course]) entire web sites dedicated to listing actual porn ripoffs of popular media. It's also a common game to take normal media titles and see how many porn titles they can be twisted into. Most of the times [[Shallow Parody|the only parody is the title]]. Curiously, the current hot trend in the porn industry is for high-budget, well-made parodies (well, ''higher''-budget and ''better''-made, anyway) that re-create what they're spoofing with careful attention to detail... but which reject parody titles in favor of just taking the original title and sticking "Not" in front of it or "A XXX Parody" afterwards.
