A parody (also called pastiche, spoof, send-up or lampoon),
in current use, is an imitative work created to mock, comment on, or
trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other
target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hunchtion puts it, "parody … is imitation,
not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon
Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a
relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice."Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music (although "parody" in music has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming and film.
Here are some parody videos. (this video isn't suitable for viewer under 15 years old)
