* Bizarre [[Real Life]] example: In Disney's Animal Kingdom park, there is a small area within the "Dinoland U. S. A." section of the park. And it is essentially the Souvenir Land version of Animal Kingdom. The ride Primeval Whirl is a parody of Dinosaur, the other thrill ride in that subsection of the park, and Triceratops Spin takes on Dumbo. Who says Disney doesn't have a sense of humor?
:** Jungle Cruise is a parody of ''itself''. Well, more accurately, the modern Jungle Cruise is a parody of the original Jungle Cruise -- while the ride was originally played straight (Walt Disney didn't want to deal with all the complexities real animals would cause in a small area of a park, so he went with robotic ones), the current version is basically one big comedy routine having fun at the scenery's expense, especially in light of guests being able to ride among actual animals over at the aforementioned Animal Kingdom. Sample lines:
{{quote|"Do you know what kind of flamingos those are? They're ''plastic'' flamingos, that's what."
"I wonder where this tunnel comes out... well, [[No Fourth Wall|we're in Disney World, so probably at a gift shop]]."
