A form of Formula-Breaking Episode. When a show, usually a comedy, abandons its usual format and spends most of the episode as a parody of another show, book, television show, movie, or genre. Popular, timeless, children's fantasy films are always the most targeted for this format, as they're recognizable by everybody. It is usually revealed that the whole thing was just a dream or fantasy, or a lengthly series of events will be required to set up the parody format. The Onion noted that this can be a sign of total desperation, especially when the Wizard of Oz is used as the basis. Compare Whole-Plot Reference. See Stock Parody for some more specific examples. |

Psych: The Twin Peaks homage episode "Dual Spires", with the added bonus of the original cast of the show being parodied providing copious amounts of Adam Westing. "Heeeeere's Lassie!", about Carlton moving into a (presumably haunted) apartment, is a parody of The Shining. His annoying neighbors are parodies of the main characters from Rosemary's Baby. |

The Simpsons did this several times. A Mary Poppins parody episode. "24 Minutes", a parody of 24 (including the voices of Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskub). "The Blunder Years", primarily a parody of Stand by Me, with a title from its Spiritual Successor The Wonder Years. "Dangerous Curves" is an unusual example. It's basically a parody of Two for the Road, but it's done so subtly and the film is more of a Cult Classic than a widely-known landmark film, so a lot of viewers might not even be aware that it's a parody. "Lisa the Drama Queen" is a parody of Heavenly Creatures, minus the murder pact and the Les Yay. "The President Wore Pearls", a parody of the musical Evita. Lampshaded at the end: "Behind the Laughter" which was a parody of VH1 style documentaries. Treehouse of Horror segments were originally strictly parodies of horror stories and The Twilight Zone episodes but now encompass whatever the creators haven't parodied yet. There's also been non-Halloween stories with the same format. The Citizen Kane parody episode "Rosebud" (the one where Mr. Burns finds out that the teddy bear he left behind when he was adopted as a child to a twisted, loveless billionaire is in the hands of Maggie Simpson). "The Book Job" was about how Bart, Homer and Neil Gaiman tried to their young adult novel published which somehow turned into a parody of Ocean's Eleven. "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" parodies the career of The Beatles. |

Most of the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann parallel works are these, although some have plot relevance. Not an episode perse, but they do feature new footage. The Manga version has quite a few more, and there's another, spin-off manga featuring the cast in a modern high school. Episode 6 might get a distinction as a parody of a stereotypical Hot Springs Episode, considering the fact that it all goes to hell and what not. The same could be said of Episode 12, which is a parody of a stereotypical Beach Episode. |

In the season seven finale of Roseanne, Dan wonders what it would be like if he finally finishes building his boat and he winds up having a fantasy that is a direct parody of Gilligan's Island, with him as the Skipper, Jackie as Gilligan, Roseanne as Ginger, Darlene as Mary-Ann, Mark as the professor and Leon and Bev as the Howells. The end credits scene then shows a parody of the actual show with the surviving Gilligan cast members playing the characters, along with a cameo from Gilligan creator, Sherwood Schwartz. |

Community loves these. It has done parody episodes of the Police Procedural, Courtroom Dramas, Glee, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, The Western, The Mafia, Doctor Who, War Movies, Pulp Fiction, The Caper, and even the Zombie Apocalypse. Roughly a quarter of the episodes do this, going so far as to be shot in the same fashion as whatever genre they are portraying. | |

Done several times in Scrubs: The 100th episode, "My Way Home", is a parody of... you guessed it... The Wizard of Oz, complete with a protagonist who just wants to go home, a search for a literal heart for a transplant, "Over the Rainbow," and a painted yellow floor... among other references. Also, the episode "My Princess" which was told the style of a fairy tale with some Princess Bride references. "My Life in Four Cameras" qualifies as well, being a parody of standard 80s-90s sitcoms with Studio Audience. "My House" parodies House. |

Supernatural likes to play with this trope once a season (in its second half) — while the Winchester brothers are still chasing a mystery, the format and/or subject matter of the episode (and their case) takes a comedic tone and it becomes obvious that it's parodying something: in Season 1, they make fun of Ghostbusters in "Hell House"; in Season 2, they do "Hollywood Babylon", an Affectionate Parody of the show itself with some blink-and-you'll-miss-'em Take Thats to the WB/CW executives; Season 3 has "Ghostfacers", a parody of both Ghost Hunters and The Blair Witch Project. Universal Studio's classic monster movies are awesomely and affectionately homaged in Season 4's aptly named "Monster Movie". Season 5 brings us the instant-classic "Changing Channels", which parodies Grey's Anatomy, a typical three-camera laugh-track sitcom, Knight Rider, a commercial for a genital herpes prescription medication, and absolutely skewers CSI. Then Season 6 gives the ultimate Self-Parody with "The French Mistake", in which the show mercilessly satirizes itself and everyone working on it. | |

Married... with Children and That '70s Show had episodes parodying It's a Wonderful Life. That '70s Show's Halloween episode was a homage to Alfred Hitchcock films. While it didn't actually last an entire episode, the show had an Off to See the Wizard fantasy scene courtsy of Jackie. She casts herself as Dorothy, Kelso as the scarecrow, Hyde as the tinman, Fez as the lion, Donna as the Wicked Witch and Eric as her flying monkey. |

One episode of The Angry Beavers, "El Grapadura y El Castor Malo", inexplicably featured a parody of Mexican Masked Luchador action films, staring masked wrestler El Grapadura (The Stapler) and Norbert as detectives. It was also voiced entirely in Spanish, with English subtitles that were at times a rather loose translation of what was being said (for example, "Señor Daggeto" being translated as "Mr. Stupid"). The same happened with a parody of Miami Vice in style of an actual 80s cop-show episode. |

Mr. Robot has a darker take on this. The first half of "m4ster-s1ave.aes" is a dream of Elliot's that parodies 1990s sitcoms like Full House (complete with '90s-esque commercials for E Corp). Eventually, it is revealed to be a dreamworld created by Mr. Robot to spare Elliot the trauma of being beaten half to death. | |

The X-Files: In "X-Cops", Mulder and Scully appear on COPS (1989). Also, "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" can be seen as the series parodying itself. The plot for that episode is just ridiculous, but hilarious. |

Stargate SG-1: The 200th episode, "200", not only parodies everything to do with TV and movie writing and production (ranging from the actors wanting more money to references to Jumping the Shark and a Lampshade Hanging about... Lampshade Hanging). It also parodies everything from The Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, and Farscape to Supermarionation shows (like the original Thunderbirds), zombie movies, teen dramas, and, of course, itself. To actually list all of the parodies including the self-parodying inside jokes would take up this entire page, so if you're interested in hearing all of them, see what the Stargate Wiki's page on it has listed. Similarly, the episode to which "200" is a sequel, "Wormhole X-Treme!" from the show's fifth season, is also a Parody Episode, a self-parody as well as parodying both the TV production process and Science Fiction in general. |

Gintama, something of a parody of shounen manga in itself, also features several parody episodes, mostly of Japanese series such as Dragon Ball Z and a bizarrely cast Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, not to mention a 2-part satire of Saw and a movie-parody episode that touched on everything from Star Wars to Millennium Actress. And of course the almost frame-for-frame End of Gintamangelion. Hell, there's even parody arcs. |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius does quite a lot of these. Lights! Camera! Danger! is notable for combining parodies of The Matrix, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Chicago, and references a truckload more. Specific targets for a single parody episode include Jaws, Fantastic Voyage, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, of all things. There's one episode devoted to poking fun at various superhero movies. One episode is devoted to old horror monsters like the ones from Frankenstein (1931), Dracula (1931), and The Wolf Man (1941). Not even Macbeth and Star Wars were immune. In the same episode. At the same time. |

Also "Love and Rocket", which pays homage primarily to the HAL-9000 scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. And "Reincarnation", a three-parter non-canon episode parodying respectively, Max Fleischer 20s cartoons, 80s video-games and 70s anime.

Ouran Highschool Host Club takes an episode to do a parody of Alice in Wonderland. The whole cast is desperately suppressing facepalms the whole time. | |

Glitch Techs: "Castle Crawl" is a homage to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, right down to the infamously cheesy English translation and how the duo must turn the castle upside down in order to reach the True Final Boss. | |

Many, many, MANY episodes of Codename: Kids Next Door. To the point that it was becoming the regular formula for every episode. Most notably was The Animatrix parody that worked out really well, and one episode parodying The Matrix again, superhero comics, children books, Dragon Ball Z, and... The Pink Panther? All in one episode. The Christmas Episode was a huge reference to an X-Men story arc. |

South Park: The show has had a few of these, as well: "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow", "Free Willzyx" (Free Willy) and "Tsst" (The Dog Whisperer). Going back a few years, you have "Free Hat" (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and "The Return of The Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" (The Lord of the Rings). "Grey Dawn" is basically Red Dawn (1984) but with old people instead of Russians. There's also "The Snuke" (24), "Fantastic Easter Special" (The Da Vinci Code), and "Die Hippie Die" (The Core). As well as "Behind the Blow" (VH1 documentaries). Basically, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are in love with this trope. "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" (Scooby-Doo) "Insheeption" (which actually was revealed to be a Shallow Parody of Inception) "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining", a parody of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" and other documentary shows of its ilk. The entire final third of the episode becomes a poorly-acted, poorly-casted live-action dramatization. "Pip" is a parody of Great Expectations. "Good Times With Weapons" alternates between the usual South Park universe and a Shōnen anime parody. The primary storyline of "D'Yikes!" is a parody of 300. "Britney's New Look" parodies The Lottery. "A History Channel Thanksgiving" parodies The Mighty Thor. "Word War Zimmerman" is a parody to World War Z. |

The Hey Arnold! Halloween episode was a homage to Orson Welles films. Or alternatively, a parody of the panic created when an Orson Wells story was mistaken for an actual alien invasion by a great number of radio listeners. |

The Bakshi Mighty Mouse episode "Don't Touch That Dial" is both a group parody and Take That! to Saturday morning TV of the time. Skewered were a Flintstones/Jetsons mash-up, Scooby-Doo, Rocky & Bullwinkle (which was spared a Take That!) and The Real Ghostbusters. | |

The Family Guy episode "Meet the Quagmires" was a total sendup of the Back to the Future movies. They also did a half-episode parody of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ("Wasted Talent" — the episode where Lois discovers that Peter can play the piano like a pro while drunk). "Family Guy Presents: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball" for Star Wars. All three segments of "Three Kings" were, as the name implies, parodies of Stephen King films adapted from books: Stand by Me, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption. An episode about Lois becoming a boxer becomes a parody of Rocky III. The episode "Leggo My Meg-O" was a parody to Taken. Brian's plot in "Crimes and Meg's Demeanor" was a parody to Rear Window. |

In the Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode "As Westbridge Turns", the usually realistic Urban Fantasy series parodies soap operas. Forbidden relationships, Serious Business, and improbable coincidences ('My long lost sister!') abound. Of course, the change is caused by Sabrina ingesting a magical 'can of worms' and everything is back to normal at the end of the episode. | |

The Lupin III franchise frequently uses this trope. The original Manga stories simply used the Arsene Lupin Sansei character as a vehicle to drive a story, through whatever tale Monkey Punch wanted to tell. | |

The Goldbergs has at least one episode each season (usually the season opener) that parodies an iconic 1980s movie. Often they would have a Special Edition Title that spoofs the movie poster of that particular film. Examples include "Goldbergs Never Say Die" (The Goonies), "Barry Goldberg's Day Off" (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), "The Breakfast Club" (The Breakfast Club), "Sixteen Candles" (Sixteen Candles), and so on. | |
