Parody

...

Parody: A Parody, 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.

This entry is created to share my point of view and understanding towards parody. As we can see parody nowadays is used widely in movies to mock reality or other movies. It does not necessarily intended to project hatred of the author or director but just to mock something and poke something fun out of the issue.  For example:

Scary Movie is a famous parody film  series, mocking other horror films

...

This particular movie mocks famous horror film scenes and turn it into a joke or humor. The characteristic that needs to be shown in a parody is the irony, satire and humor in becoming a perfect parody. Sarcasm is another key tat needs to be add to project the other elements in order to make it more humorous. 

Not only in movies, parody can be mad out from a joke, song, act or just by ranting. As long as sarcasm is added from the original situation, it can be classified as a parody. Other example of parody in life is stated in this picture below:

As we can see that the expression "drop the bass" is merely referring to the fact that there should be a bass element or sound that needs to be added but in this case, the bass guitar is dropped literally; mocking the expression. Thus this is what we can see as a parody.
