Playboy is a lifestyle and entertainment magazine which was first founded in 1953. Although early on, it had a tendency of publishing high-brow content, its current reputation is as a magazine that posts saucy content of the sexual and nude kind. Nevertheless (or likely in spite of this development), It has grown in popularity over the years, and it has gotten to the point that it is widely parodied in media. Most parodies of it usually contain the following: Having a "Play" prefix added to it. Sometimes having a Playboy Bunny or something else like it. Publishing and allowing submissions of content like nude photos and sexual content. A character hiding it in a Porn Stash. A character insisting that they read it for the articles. The creator being a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Hugh Hefner. Interestingly, the most common Parody Name for this is Playpen magazine, likely due to media which were unable to acquire the rights splicing together the names of Playboy and fellow competitor Penthouse together. Possibly becoming a Forgotten Trope, due to a general move towards the internet for sexual content. Indeed, the magazine closed down in 2020 after years of declining sales. A Sub-Trope of Bland-Name Product. |

The Far Side: One comic had "Playsnake", which a couple of snakes were shown to read. Evidently, it had a centerfold that has to be unfolded five or six times to show the snake-of-the-month's full portrait. | |

The Simpsons: One of the fictional brands in the series is "Playdude" magazine, which serves as the stand-in for Playboy magazine. "All's Fair in Oven War" had Marge find Homer's collection of vintage "Playdude" magazines, with Homer claiming that he's keeping for the articles. He throws them out however after Marge tests this theory by cutting out all of the pictures of naked women. Meanwhile, in an earlier episode, Bart was told by Sherry Bobbins that if she caught him reading "Playdude", she would make him read ALL of the articles. | |

One issue of Playboy has a parody of their magazine, tailored for the Soviet Union, published during the Cold War. The name is meant to be "PLAYBOY" but spelled with Cyrillic characters, which results in the parody being called "R_DUVOU." The centerfold is a picture of a tractor, and an interview with dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has 98% of the text redacted. | |

Columbo: One episode featured "Bachelor's World", which was a riff on Playboy. It's depicted as a men's magazine featuring monthly pictorials of naked ladies, its owner lives in a huge mansion along with many of those naked ladies, and the magazine isn't that profitable due to the owner's lavish lifestyle (something which was true of Hefner back in the day). | |

The Dick Van Dyke Show: In "The Man From Emperor", Emperor magazine is clearly meant to evoke Playboy. It's a famous "girlie" publication that also runs other things (if Rob being hired as a joke writer is any indication). The magnate behind it, Drew Patton, surrounds himself with beautiful women and claims men get secondhand kicks out of his lifestyle. | |

Strike: In the original novel Troubled Blood, Margot and her friend Oonagh Kennedy were Playboy Bunnies together back in the '70s. In the season of the show that adapts that novel, Margot and Oonagh work at some generic cat-themed restaurant. They were what's basically the Playboy Bunny corset but with cat ears and a cat tail instead of the Playboy Bunny cottontail. | |
