What is a "parody"?
A parody is a type of creative work that humorously imitates or exaggerates another work, often to make fun of it or comment on its style and content. In writing, music, or other forms of art, a parody takes the original piece and mimics its characteristics in a way that highlights its absurdities or shortcomings. The intention is usually to entertain or provoke thought by drawing attention to the original work's traits in a playful or critical manner. Parodies often use satire and exaggeration to achieve their effect.
