Parodies often delight in pointing out works' contradictions and silly nature. But sometimes, parodies mistakenly spoof a work that's intentionally contradictory or silly. The spoof writer misses the point of the original, mocking it for entirely intended qualities. Similarly, parodies often play with original works by throwing in silliness of their own. But the writer may underestimate the original's capacity for incongruous situations, characterization or dialogue, falsely thinking such elements will necessarily parody the source. The result is a silly work but one that duplicates the original rather than mocking it. Compare Spoofing Spoofiness, when a spoof knowingly mocks a work's ironic qualities. See also Redundant Parody, which occurs when a parody unwittingly reproduces an exact joke from the original. Contrast Shallow Parody, which is when a work spoofs another work for qualities that it didn't really have to begin with. |

Loaded Weapon 1 had the same problem in spoofing a film series that obviously didn't take itself all that seriously to begin with. Roger Ebert pointed out the flaw in sending up a movie that featured an exploding crapper. | |

Most parodies of Batman (1966) starring Adam West. Even a cursory look will show it wasn't meant to be taken seriously and was, in fact, itself parodying comics of the time and the '40s Batman serials. | |

The Simpsons tried to spoof VeggieTales one time. The scene they showed was of Moses, as a pickle, confronting "King Yameses" about his people having to build "food pyramids" and telling him to "let my pickles go." Thing is, this is exactly the kind of humor the actual cartoon is famous for. So much so that probably the only thing stopping this from being a full-on Redundant Parody was that VeggieTales hadn't gotten around to doing a Moses episode yet. | |

The old cartoon Batfink is basically a spoof of...the silly Adam West Batman (1966) show. Which was a spoof of superheroes to begin with. Even a classic Simpsons episode ("Radioactive Man") was guilty of this. The parody was merciless and hilarious... until you learned that the original was intentionally silly. |

Eiga Sentai Scanranger had a chapter that attempted to parody spy movies, with each of the heroes becoming a pastiche of a well-known character in the genre. The thing is one of them becomes Boston Powered, New England Man of Mystery, and the villain is even outright compared to Dr. Evil. During the big fight scene, he even uses his powers to become Fat Bastard. The chapter was noticeably left out when the story was re-posted elsewhere, with even the chapter numbers and teasers deliberately moved around to exclude it. | |

MADtv (1995) did a parody music of Jewel's Intuition video and 0304 pop album, labeling her a pop sellout... except that video and album were satire of the then-current teen pop trend. The Intuition original video featured such mockery as texts reading "Jewel's voice sounds much better now that she's dancing" and a pyrotechnics performance that ended with the fire department's arrival. | |

Pretty much all the stuff that's played for laughs (like stupid guards and rescuing hostages on the toilet) in Mesal Gear Solid, the Metal Gear parody in Ape Escape 3, is stuff that was played for laughs (or at least played non-seriously) in the actual series. The ending line of the PAL version ("I go wherever the wind takes me. So long as war never ends, I will always have a place in this world.") would not sound remotely out of place in the actual games - the canon is already so deliberately over-the-top that it's pretty much impossible to parody. | |

This was practically the specialty of Cracked Magazine: Several Mork & Mindy parodies, apart from some Breaking the Fourth Wall moments, could pass for real episodes. The corny dialogue was so dead on, some might wonder if the actual Mork and Mindy writers made them. In later years, their South Park parody pretty much played it straight as well - nothing at all like MAD and its constant Lampshade Hanging, fourth-wall demolition and hilarious Deus ex Machina endings. Cracked did a parody of Hot Shots! once. Yes, a parody of a parody. They did The Naked Gun films as well. |

The Nostalgia Critic will often take comedic moments or sometimes entire comedies and treat them as if they were meant to be taken seriously. For instance, his review of Last Action Hero doesn't give the slightest indication he knows the film was supposed to be a comedy, and in his review of Godzilla (1998) he goes on a minutes-long rant about why he doesn't understand the inclusion of the line "That's a lot of fish" when the asinine nature of the line was meant to be the joke. He also acknowledges the possibility that Starship Troopers is a Stealth Parody (it is), but spends the rest of the review taking it deadly seriously and criticizing its over-the-top fascistic elements. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged played the Ginyu Force as a parody of the Super Sentai series. The Ginyu Force in Dragon Ball Z already were Sentai parodies, so they didn't actually add anything new with that. They did soon branch out though, with Recoome becoming wrestling personified, Jeice taking his being a Space Australian to extremes, Burter being extremely self-conscious about his speed and wanting to be special, and Guldo ending up becoming their resident Butt-Monkey. | |

The similar horror spoof Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th received some of the same criticism. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as a parody of Scary Movie in turn (a parody of a parody of a satire?), it's actually an original spoof of Scream and similar movies which just happened to be created around the same time. | |

In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode guide, the writers admit that Catalina Caper was one of the hardest episodes to write, being an unfunny musical comedy, thus making it difficult to effectively mock. One of MST3K's several Spiritual Successors, RiffTrax, sets a policy of never featuring comedy movies for this precise reason. | |

The cancelled-after-one-chapter story Cheat Slayer claimed isekai protagonists were terrible people, shown through some very unflattering Captain Ersatz versions of notable isekai characters. One of the characters shown is a parody of Aqua from Konosuba... apparently unaware that Konosuba was already a parody of the genre, and its protagonist, Kazuma, is a self-centered loser who is respected by no one. Another character is a parody of Subaru from Re:Zero, which while not being a straight-up parody, is more of a Genre Deconstruction where Subaru’s beliefs about isekai cliches are shown to be wrong and he has to learn to be a better person the hard way. |

The first Scary Movie got some flak for parodying a movie series that was already meant to be a satire of the Slasher Movie genre. It works mostly because Scream itself doesn't really seem sure whether it's meant to be a parody and seemed more like a straight entry of the genre at times, and because Scary Movie also parodied a lot of serious examples of the genre. | |

The Futurama episode "War is the H-Word" parodies a lot of war media, but the premise is closest to Starship Troopers, and quite a few jokes seem to be derived from that film, like the laughable Hollywood Tactics, the incredibly spurious reason behind the conflict, and the fact that humanity turns out to be the invaders. Of course, the film itself was already playing those elements for satire. | |

Hey Arnold! episode "Quantity Time" ends with Helga and her father, Bob, watching "Rats: The Musical", a parody of Cats. The show depicts "Rats" as a musical that takes itself completely seriously, with an orchestral soundtrack, a Love Dodecahedron story arc, and a well-dressed couple in the audience lauding it for its artistry. This is the complete opposite of how Cats treats itself, with a contemporary pop soundtrack, highly-energetic choreography, and an Excuse Plot that only drops its silliness whenever it's time for Grizabella to sing. The aforementioned couple would most likely hate Cats, just as Helga and Bob did with "Rats". | |

Friday Night Funkin': Senpai, the opponent of Week 6, was based on a combination of arrogant pretty boy characters and Romance Game archetypes. One inspiration PhantomArcade names directly is Tamaki Suoh of Ouran High School Host Club, a series that itself played shoujo romance manga tropes of the day for laughs. | |
