parodies
Mocking creative tributes
Parodies are works that imitate others for comic effect or criticism.
A parody exaggerates distinctive features of its target—style, mannerisms, conventions—to expose or mock them: The film is a parody of action movie clichés.
To parody is to create such an imitation.
A failed attempt at something serious may be called a parody: The trial was a parody of justice.
