When a parody has become more popular than the property that it's a parody of, often to the point where those unfamiliar with the source material will believe that the parody is its own thing. Perhaps the original work loses cultural relevance while the parody has more staying power. Alternatively, the parody could appeal more to a different demographic through its humor or content. Often, people who are only 'familiar' with a work through the parody are surprised when the subject of the parody turns out to be better than they thought. Occasionally this can overlap with Ret-Canon, where aspects of it get associated with the original work, even if the parody is forgotten. Related to the concept of a Forgotten Trope, except it is not tropes but works or personalities that have been forgotten. See also Adaptation Displacement, Pop-Cultural Osmosis, Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure, Older Than They Think, The Coconut Effect, Covered Up, Sampled Up, Revival by Commercialization. Contrast Shallow Parody, when lacking knowledge of the original work merely renders the parody meaningless. Be careful: If the original still has a respectable pop culture presence, then claiming the parody is better known may tend toward Fan Myopia. |

One of Captain Disillusion's videos covers a poorly-faked viral clip of a statue of the Virgin Mary being carried down a flooded street, with the "statue" just being a flat image motion-tracked over a preexisting video of a recycling bin in a flood. Unimpressed, he shows the audience how to make a more convincing version using a realistically lit and reflection-mapped 3D model of a Buddha statue in place of the Virgin Mary. However, people ended up taking the final result and reposting it out of context, where it spread even further and became its own popular viral hoax. The Captain addressed this in his next episode, which opens with him being flooded with requests to cover the Buddha video and ends with him covering the screen in "FAKE!" watermarks during another VFX-heavy shot to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. | |

Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter Alpha (and following Street Fighter games) was a parody of the two main characters from Art of Fighting: Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia. This was a result of the original Street Fighter designers jumping ship to SNK and helping create Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. Suffice it to say, Capcom was not happy, and the two companies shared a deep rivalry throughout the 90s. However, Street Fighter is much better-known in North America than The King of Fighters and has moved much further into the mainstream due to several separate factors, so it is not uncommon for an American fan of the series to not know that Dan is a parody of anyone specific, or to assume that he is just a parody of Ryu and Ken. | |

These days, it's nearly impossible to find references to the original 4 Non Blondes song "What's Up?". It has been almost entirely supplanted by the He-Man parody remix, "HEHEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA" (part of a larger parody, "Fabulous Secret Powers, by Slackcircus created in 2005). | |

MS Paint Adventures: Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff was originally created by Andrew Hussie to parody utterly derivative concept art posted for an upcoming Two Gamers on a Couch comic called Higher Technology.note The source pictures have sadly vanished, being hosted on ImageShack, but still can be seen at a archived version Bro and Jeff's designs were taken straight from HT, as were the giant eyes and "porkchop" mouths, and the famous line "AHAHAHAHAHA just HOW high do you have to BE just to DO something like that........" was meant as a riposte to HT's author asking if SBAHJ had been made on drugs. That was in March 2009. Three years later, Higher Technology never even came to exist beyond a few half-finished sketches on the Penny Arcade forums. Meanwhile, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff was integrated into Homestuck as a Show Within a Show and remains immensely popular with the fans of its own accord. In a case of self-parody displacement, the MSPA Reader's Running Gag of trying to kill themself when the plot becomes too ridiculous displaced the suicide attempts with similar-looking characters seen in Jailbreak, both of which were less humorous (one even being part of a Downer Ending) and did not involve the fourth wall. |

Sting's famous gothic-themed gimmick, first unveiled in 1996, was originally very heavily inspired by The Crow and its popular 1994 film adaptation (hence why the persona is often called "Crow Sting" by longtime fans). While The Crow is decently popular, and the 1994 movie has a respectable cult following, they're nowhere near the bona fide cultural icon that Sting was at the height of his fame. | |

A lot of 1930s and 1940s American radio shows are totally forgotten nowadays, but live on as punchlines in Looney Tunes and Tex Avery cartoons. The funny thing about it is that even back in the day these jokes were completely incomprehensible to people outside the USA or people who didn't listen to the radio. Modern audiences nowadays will probably be amazed how many of these recurring catch phrases and punch lines actually originate from radio shows, movies and even commercial jingles: "Turn off that light!" (reference to air raid wardens during World War II) "Was this/that trip really necessary?" (reference to a slogan used to encourage people not to take unnecessary trips to free up gas and rubber for the war effort and to free up space on trains to ferry troops to their duty locations. ) "It's a possibility!" (reference to Artie Auerbach's catchphrase as Mr. Kitzle during Al Pearce's radio shows) "Nobody home, I hope, I hope, I hope" - Al Pearce "That ain't the way I heard it!" (reference to The Old Timer character from the radio series Fibber McGee and Molly) "'T ain't funny, McGee!" – Molly's frequent line in Fibber McGee and Molly) "I love that man!" - (reference to the character Beulah (Marlin Hurt) on Fibber McGee and Molly.) "Operator, give me number 32O.. ooh, is that you, Myrt? How's every little thing, Myrt? What say, Myrt?" - (reference to the character Fibber, whenever he made a phone call to a certain Myrt in Fibber McGee and Molly. ) "Well now, I wouldn't say THAT!" - (reference to the character Peavey (Richard Le Grand) in the radioshow The Great Gildersleeve) "Don't you believe it!" was the title of a 1947 radio show in which popular legends, myths or old wives' tales were debunked. "Aha! Something new has been added!" and "So round, so firm, so fully-packed. So free and easy on the draw." (reference to Lucky Strike cigarettes) "B.OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" from a commercial for Lifebuoy soap against B.O. (body odor) "Ain't I a stinker?" (Lou Costello from Abbott and Costello) "I'm only three and a half years old!" - From a character named Martha (Billy Gray) on the Abbott & Costello radio show. "Ah, yes! (Insert statement here), isn't it?", "Yehudi?", "Don't work, do they?" and "Greetings, Gate! Lets osculate!" (Jerry Colonna, sidekick on Bob Hope's radio show.) "I dood it!", "He don't know me very well, do he?" and "You bwoke my widdle arm!" – Red Skelton's radio comedy character Junior, aka Mean Widdle Kid "Of course you realize this means war!" (Groucho Marx) "Ain't I a devil?" - Ralph Edwards in Truth or Consequences. "Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?" and "I'm going to hug him and pet him and hug him and pet him..." (reference to John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men) Several dimwitted characters were based on Mortimer Snerd, a puppet character by puppeteer Edgar Bergen, created in 1938. "Henry! Heeeeeeeeeeen-RY!" "Coming, Mother!" (reference to The Aldrich Family, a radio sitcom) The NBC Chime "Monkeys is the cwaziest peoples." - A catch phrase from Lew Lehr. In parody the word "monkeys" was often replaced by other animals or people. "Ah say! I'm from the South, son!", "That's a joke, son!", "Pay attention now, boy!" - Kenny Delmar as Senator Claghorn in "The Fred Allen Show". The Looney Tunes character Foghorn Leghorn was entirely based on this radio personality. "See?" - A verbal tic actor Edward G. Robinson used. When characters in Looney Tunes use it, it's usually in a police or gangster context. "I'll moida da bum." - A reference to boxer Tony Galento. "I have a problem, Mr. Anthony!" - Reference to John J. Anthony, who presented the daily radio advice program "The Goodwill Hour". "Train leaving on Track 5 for Anaheim, Azusa and Cuuuu-ca-mon-gaaa!" - Mel Blanc usually said this, quoting a character he played on "The Jack Benny Show". "Come with me to the casbah" - Reference to Charles Boyer as Pépé le Moko in the 1937 film Algiers. Interesting detail: the line was prominent in the trailer, but not in the movie itself. |

During the early 2010s, the Tumblr user early-onset-of-night made a post describing how fast-food chicken is produced in nauseating detail, accompanied by a photo of a cardboard box being filled with a pink, paste-like substance. Another Tumblr user, turboslime, created their own parody version in response that kept the original caption word-for-word but switched the photo out for a picture of the Tubby Custard machine. While the original was only moderately successful, the parody became an enduring meme both on and off of the site— and ironically, with the original forgotten, is often mistaken for a genuine example of people using Tumblr to spread misinformation. | |

Atop the Fourth Wall: Linkara's catchphrase "I am a man!" followed with a punch is actually a reference to infamous comic Superman: At Earth's End, one of the first titles he reviewed. Another phrase of his, "It's magic, I don't have to explain it." is a reference to Joe Quesada's disliked explanation for One More Day. Inverted whenever '90s Kid appears. Many people assume that's Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" playing in the background, but Lovhaug actually uses the Weird Al parody "Smells Like Nirvana." |

Brian Clevinger's 8-Bit Theater has had this effect on the original Final Fantasy. Many of the concepts featured in the comic (the White Mage being female, the Black Mage being non-human, the Fighter being an Idiot Hero, etc.) are either totally invented by it, or are references to/parodies of longstanding Final Fantasy Fanon and memes, but many people assume them to be canon to FF1 even though they're really not. A lot of this can be blamed on the fact that FF1 is both a very old game (one that younger readers are less likely to be familiar with) and a very bare-bones one compared to later entries in the series; Clevinger wasn't twisting the personalities of the characters for humor, he was inventing personalities for them where they had none before. Even among people who do remember the original Final Fantasy, or at least know about it through various spinoffs and tie-ins, some characters are still better-remembered as their Clevinger versions. Characters like Sarda or the unnamed king of Corneria have little dialogue and even less discernible personality in the original game, and their role in the plot is just to give you an item or open up another part of the world. They became major recurring figures in 8-Bit Theater, and consequently, when you say, for example, "Sarda" to someone, they're much more likely to think of the Clevinger version. |

Many young viewers watching the Shrek movies will not realize that Puss in Boots is an Affectionate Parody of the titular character from The Mask of Zorro, even being played by the same actor. This applies both to when Shrek 2 was released, as it came out six years after Zorro, and to the present day, where the Shrek fandom is still very active despite no new releases in years, while the Zorro franchise hasn't been in the limelight for some time. Because of this effect, it can be humorous when fans of the film grow up and realize that Puss, who has become an iconic character in his own right, is so heavily inspired by another classic character. | |

Lullaby for a Princess is well-known amongst bronies but, because it is a fandom-centric Filk Song, it's prone to this when parodies. For example, many Warriors fans know of Lullaby For A Warrior, a version about Bluestar and her sister Snowfur, before the original. | |

It cuts both ways. Many people have searched the Bible in vain for the line "The devil can cite Scripture for his own purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness is like a villain with a smiling cheek." not realising the provenance is Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice, Act One, Scene Three. Shakespeare is referencing something that actually happens in the Bible, at least (the Temptation in the Desert, which appears in three Gospels). | |

GunBuster: GunBuster starts out as an Affectionate Parody of Aim for the Ace!, a tennis manga and anime series, as well as older Super Robot anime programs. Nowadays, GunBuster's popularity likely far outstrips most of its inspirations. The folded arms stance of the Gunbuster mech itself, and by extension the iconic, oft-homaged shot of Noriko folding her arms with her head held high, was itself a reference to the default stance of Getter Dragon. These days, the pose is so associated with GunBuster and Studio Gainax that it's universally thought of as the "GunBuster pose" or "Gainax stance." |

Tokimeki Memorial has so many parodies, pastiches, and satire due to it being the Trope Codifier of Dating Sims, but due to its No Export for You status, many people outside of Japan have only seen those parodies without ever knowing what it was they were parodying. The dating sim genre, in general, gets this a lot to the point where certain modern dating sims are confused for a parody, a Stealth Parody, or even a Deconstruction, when they're actually straight takes on the genre just with an unorthodox cast (Hatoful Boyfriend being a notable example). | |

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: "The antidote to panel games" was born from the creative minds behind I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and conceived as an unscripted parody of panel shows. Clue has been on the air for over 40 years now and is better known than the shows it parodies, as well as itself becoming not so much an antidote but a template for the next generation of panel games. The "mystery voice" who provides answers for the listeners at home is a reference to "Twenty Questions", a venerable old panel game which was still running when Clue' made its debut. Everybody would have got the reference in 1972; not so much nowadays. |

Undertale: Sans and Papyrus, a pair of skeleton brothers, are a parody of a webcomic called Helvetica and its eponymous skeleton protagonist. The joke was that Helvetica is a font that is beloved by typeface aficionados, while (Comic) Sans and Papyrus are fonts that are widely derided. But Undertale became far more popular than Helvetica, and Sans and Papyrus are two of the most popular characters in the game, to the extent that even people who have never played the game know about them. The line "you're gonna have a bad time" was a preexisting meme from South Park. According to Twitter, kids who grew up after the 2000s don't know about Tokyo Mew Mew and believed that Mad Mew Mew was an original concept. |

One Shortpacked! comic mocked a Batman figure from the Justice League toyline that, for some reason, had a helmet that didn't cover the top of his head◊. It claimed that this is because "I'm Batman, and I can breathe in space." Due to being an inherently funny line, it caught on among Batman's Memetic Badass following, and even named a trope. Many people don't even realize it's talking about a specific action figure, and the figure in question is long forgotten even among toy collectors (it's a rather generic Environment-Specific Action Figure in a line full of them). | |

Chef Al Yeganeh, the New York proprietor of "Soup Kitchen International" (later "The Original Soupman"), and the real life inspiration for Seinfeld's Soup Nazi was in business about ten years prior to the episode that made him famous. Despite his insistence to the contrary, prior to Seinfeld, Al Yeganeh was an obscure New York figure known mostly to certain circles of affluent late 80s/early 90s Manhattan yuppies who were willing to pay $30 for a pint of soup. Nearly everyone else knows of him because of the Soup Nazi episode. In one TV interview, he seriously claims that he made Seinfeld famous. In an interesting subversion of the trope, many feel that the Seinfeld version is relatively tame compared to the real man who has been known to use profanities such as calling a female reporter a "bitch" on camera in one instance. Woe betide the person who mentions the parody to him-he once cussed out the real Seinfeld for it, and hates this generally. | |

Hardly anyone realises that the willow song in The Mikado was actually a parody of the song Desdemona sings in Othello. Which itself was a well-known tune at the time, a fact that is lampshaded in the play when Desdemona accidentally starts singing the wrong verse and catches herself. Ruddigore is mostly a parody of a kind of melodrama no one watches anymore. |

The famous quote from Twelfth Night, "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em" is a parody of Matthew 19:12: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so borne of their mothers belly: and there be some eunuchs, which be gelded by men: and there be some eunuchs, which have gelded themselves for the kingdom of Heaven." (From the Geneva Bible, a modernized version of the translation Shakespeare would be most likely to have read, omitting the annotations telling to take it metaphorically.) Between the Squick of this verse and Shakespeare's importance, the first quote has become far more familiar than the second. And many people associate it with Joseph Heller's Catch-22 (his version substituting "mediocre" and "mediocrity" for "great" and "greatness" respectively) rather than Shakespeare. |

A few Shakespeare scholars suspect that this effect accounts for a lot of puzzling things the Bard wrote. Several parts of his early comedies and later romances (the ending of Two Gentlemen of Verona, Posthumus' notorious vision in Cymbeline, most of Titus Andronicus, etc.) are not just generally deemed bad ... they're bad in bizarre, far-out-in-left-field ways that have left centuries of readers stumped as to what Shakespeare even thought he was doing. However, these scholars argue, many of these plays fall into focus if we picture Shakespeare writing them as merciless parodies of other popular Elizabethan plays, which are now lost to history. | |

The Koopalings from the Super Mario series are all named after many long-forgotten 80s personalities, like Morton Downey Jr. and Wendy O. Williams. And, in one case, a classical composer. The tie-in book Dinosaur Dilemma did something similar with a bunch of officials named after real people whose last names were "Cooper" or "Koop" that the target audience probably never heard of, like C. Everett Koopa. | |

In Rockadoodle, Pinky is to Colonel Tom Parker what Chanticleer is to Elvis Presley. Young kids who grew up in the 90's probably knew who Elvis was, but the Colonel, not so much. The name/character of Chanticleer himself is from one of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, who took it from the body of folk tales about him and Reynard the fox. But you would have to be a medievalist to make that connection. | |

Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia based the character of Mr. Plinkett on a character in one of his earlier films, where Plinkett was played by Rich Evans. The Plinkett reviews have proven so explosively popular that Stoklasa's version of the character has far eclipsed Evans's, to the point that Evans's reprising of the role for Half in the Bag was mostly met with They Changed It, Now It Sucks! - even RLM has come to call Evans's version "Fake Plinkett." | |

Weiss Reacts was actually an Affectionate Parody of an older, moderately well-known fic the author happened to like based on a similar premise about the characters of RWBY reacting to fanfiction. Nowadays, the former fic is so famous and well-known that the latter was actually called a rip-off of Weiss Reacts, even though it came first. The authors of both fic take it in stride, as the latter fic, Dear Fanfiction is actually featured in the former. | |

Treasure Master is a fairly old NES game that would've faded into obscurity if not for the "Nihilism: Stereotype vs. Reality" meme that, for humor, re-characterized the Totally Radical kid on the boxart as The Anti-Nihilist and compared him to a Straw Nihilist.

A general example: The sheer amount of references to the Ultraman franchise in anime is staggering, ranging from blatant parodies of the entire franchise to extremely subtle nods to specific episodes of specific series, but most are rarely understood by non-Japanese viewers, especially since Ultraman is usually brushed off as "that low-budget Power Rangers ripoff" by many. A particular case of this is Neon Genesis Evangelion, which bears many resemblances to Ultraman, and whose creator, Hideaki Anno, is a massive enough fan of the franchise that he made his own fan film at one point. | |

One case that somewhat depends on whether you're a bigger fan of hip-hop, or Game of Thrones. If the latter, you're likely more familiar with Backflip Wilson's version of Black and Yellow than the original. Green and Purple by Kritikal is so wide-spread by Internet memes, most don't know it's a parody. It's popularity is mostly from the titular colors, rather than the subject of smoking marijuana. And in an even stranger version of this, this Team Fortress 2 music video has almost double the views than the song on Kritikal's official YouTube channel (the former video). |

Shulk's "Now it's Shulk time!" quote in the 3DS and Wii U editions of Super Smash Bros. is a reference to the character Reyn from Shulk's home game, Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Reyn would frequently say, "Now it's Reyn time!" during battle, and the line became a common in-joke among players. Because the Smash Bros. series is much more mainstream than any of the Xenoblade Chronicles games (the original Wii release and 3DS re-release of Shulk's game sold a combined 1.5 million compared to Smash 4's collective 15 million), Shulk's version of the line has become much more well-known among the general gaming audience. | |

Duke Nukem was not the first guy to make a One-Liner regarding the kicking of asses and the chewing of gum. In general, a lot of lines thought of as Duke Nukem lines came from various 80s and 90s action films, most notably Army of Darkness. | |

The Twitter parody account @seinfeldToday got very popular in 2014-2015 sharing imaginary Seinfeld plots based around modern technology, and was widely criticised for being lame and uninspired (including by Larry David). One of its critics started a parody account of the parody account, @seinfeld2000, which contained dreadful spelling and grammar, surreal and horrifying plotlines, and very well-produced parody Mashup videos and music. @seinfeld2000 has outlived @seinfeldToday and made Seinfeld a popular meme. | |

Dragon Ball originally started as a parody of Journey to the West, which, while still popular in Asia, is more or less unknown in many countries Dragon Ball was released in except those that had Monkey on their TVs. | |

Neco Arc of Nasuverse fame is a goofy joke catgirl version of the relatively serious Arcueid Brunestud, one of the main characters of Tsukihime and its fighting game spinoff, Melty Blood. Neco Arc is a tiny gremlin-like catgirl creature compared to regular Arcueid and her moves are basically as comedic a take on Arcueid's as you can get. It was around late 2021 that Neco Arc suddenly exploded in popularity not just among Nasuverse fans but video game fans and memers in general, and before long, Neco Arc started popping up everywhere. It got to the point that, true to this trope, memes now exist that consider Arcueid to be Neco Arc's alternate "humansona" or generally referring to her as "human Neco Arc" (she's a vampire but still). It is rather hard to tell whether the memes are just memes or if some people really do consider Neco Arc the original and Arcueid the spinoff. | |

In a case of a work doing this to itself, memetic Homestar Runner song "Trogdor" features the line "And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIGHT!", a Call-Back to the Strong Bad Email "guitar", where Strong Bad improvised a song that included the line "And the dragon comes in the NIIIIIGHT!" As "guitar" is a fairly early email that's on the obscure side, and the Trogdor theme is popular even outside the site, chances are very likely anyone who heard the original heard the Call-Back first. | |

While it is very well known in Japan, not many Western fans of Touhou know that the title of the "Marisa stole the precious thing" meme is a parody of a line by Inspector Zenigata from The Castle of Cagliostro. Possibly because the original line was translated differently in official Lupin material, with the wording of "He (Lupin III) stole something outrageous — your heart." Similarly, most Western fans don't know that OVERDRIVE'S famous EASY MODO?! is a parody of the H-doujin Datsu! Doutei. Flandre's theme, "UN Owen Was Her?" is more commonly known as the "Ronald McDonald Insanity/Ran Ran Ruu Song" because of this video. |

Pretty Cure is used in many stock shout-outs to Magical Girls but the references fly over many international fans heads. In most countries, Pretty Cure has never had the same mainstream accessibility as Sailor Moon, or even anime like Tokyo Mew Mew, largely due to Late Export for You and No Export for You. Many English-speaking anime fans know of Pretty Cure parodies more than they know the actual Pretty Cure characters. | |

The name "Barcalounger" (the brand of reclining chair) is a play on a the name of a type of sailing ship, the Barca-longa. No one but naval historians and readers of the Aubrey-Maturin series (which are not such distinct populations) would know that now. | |

Sans and Papyrus, a pair of skeleton brothers, are a parody of a webcomic called Helvetica and its eponymous skeleton protagonist. The joke was that Helvetica is a font that is beloved by typeface aficionados, while (Comic) Sans and Papyrus are fonts that are widely derided. But Undertale became far more popular than Helvetica, and Sans and Papyrus are two of the most popular characters in the game, to the extent that even people who have never played the game know about them. | |

CaptainSparklez's "Revenge" Minecraft Parody of Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love. For a while it had more views that the official upload of the original. Despite Executive Meddling from Usher's label taking the video down and forcing Captain Sparklez to change the sound, the original is back up with still more likes than the original. The original has since, however, overtaken the parody in terms of YouTube views. | |

Many of the radio parodies Bob & Ray did. Perhaps the most durable example was their spoofing the then-hit Soap Opera Mary Noble, Backstage Wife as "Mary Backstayge, Noble Wife". The former was a deadly-earnest story of an 'ordinary woman' married to a matinee idol; the latter... culminated, around 1970, in Mary and her family leaving showbiz altogether to open a toast-themed restaurant. The series having earlier openly mocked Senator Joseph McCarthy at the height of the Army hearings. It is still one of B&R's best-known skits. | |

Sgt. Frog: The anime commonly includes Shout Outs to older works to entertain some of its older audiences, so naturally for many younger viewers, it's often the first they've ever heard of certain things. Lampshaded by the Dub, in which the narrator tells people to search for Space Sheriff Gavan on YouTube. Interestingly, that show actually was shown in America, but it's highly likely that most viewers never saw it. | |

"Operator, give me number 32O.. ooh, is that you, Myrt? How's every little thing, Myrt? What say, Myrt?" - (reference to the character Fibber, whenever he made a phone call to a certain Myrt in Fibber McGee and Molly. ) | |
