parodies
A parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a work, such as a song, movie, or book. It exaggerates certain features to create comedy or critique, often by mimicking the original's style, tone, or content. Parodies are used to entertain, highlight absurdities, or offer social commentary, relying on the audience’s familiarity with the original. They differ from outright copies because they intentionally add a layer of humor or critique, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking.
