Stealth Parody	comment	Parodies that pretend to be serious works, no matter how absurd or mocking their contents are, often with the purpose of getting Misaimed Fandom to generate hilarious feedback. The Internet Age has made it particularly easy to do this. You can never be sure the person on the other computer isn't that obtuse. In the more general sense, standard internet discourse in highly exclusive internet forums can be very difficult to decipher by outsiders; stealth parody submitted to such communities is commonly known as "trolling". It can be lots of fun to find a particularly awful piece of Fan Fiction and review it as if it is one of these. Sometimes it actually is, and sometimes an author may claim that it is later. Being "stealthy", it can be hard to tell. Sometimes overlaps with "Poe's Law", but Poe's Law is applied specifically when a parody of anything extreme is mistakenly taken at face value, or the opposite: an over-the-top work that is intended to be serious is confused with a parody. It also sometimes overlaps with Spoofed with Their Own Words. Compare Indecisive Parody, which is when someone involved in an otherwise-serious project mocks it. See also Parody Retcon, when a creator tries to claim that a badly-received work was one of these. Be careful when adding entries to this list. A badly done Stealth Parody is still bad, unless it's a stealth parody of stealth parodies. Eat your heart out, Poe.

However, the market in the early Nineties was already overloaded with them, so the biker penguins were soon forgotten and lumped in with the similar but "serious" cartoons of the time.

Stealth Parody / int_34e71667	comment	Brass Eye, a spot-on satire of prime-time "special investigation" programmes that fooled quite a lot of people — including the celebrities asked to take part — into believing that they were serious despite the complete absurdity of the content. Most notably, their final programme — a special on paedophilia — generated immense outrage from several newspapers at the "paedophile comedy" despite the actual target of the show being media outlets that treated paedophilia with far too much manufactured outrage. One such newspaper was unfortunate enough to print a story deriding the show right next to an article◊ complimenting the size of (the fifteen-year-old) Charlotte Church's breasts.

Stealth Parody / int_3ba81aa2	comment	Toriko is a shounen series where everything is so exaggerated and over-the-top that it's impossible to take it seriously after a while. With its 80s-inspired graphic style, overly macho main characters with Ho Yay-filled interactions and all the ludicrously powerful attacks and counter-attacks, it's either a throwback to simpler times or a stealth parody of shonen series like Hunter X Hunter, Fist of the North Star and Naruto, of the tendency to fill those series with homoerotic subtext in order to attract a peripheric fanbase, and probably also of the tendency of Japanese media to be Mundane Made Awesome (Toriko is set in a world which is all about food and making the perfect menu).

Stealth Parody / int_49ad83ee	comment	April 1st, 2006, Blizzard had a "fired" employee "leak" patch notes to the World of Warcraft 1.11 patch (despite patch 1.10 having come out last week, meaning they wouldn't have had time to test anything to determine what needed to be fixed.) The patch notes consisted of over 100 unbelievable patches, including major buffs to the Shaman (wolf form now takes 30% less damage and can cast all spells) and major Nerfing to the Rogue ("fixed a bug which let the Rogue equip two weapons at once"). If contacted, Blizzard employees responded in a realistic manner, insisting that this information was not supposed to be public and refusing to comment on how much of it was true. How successful this was is hard to tell, as it's hard to tell on forums if they are being serious or not. One of the notes was 'Mages: Fixed a bug which occasionally permitted Arcane Missiles to work.' Everyone with an IQ above room temperature knew they were joking. especially fans of Penny Arcade, who had seen the same fake bug fix in a comic a year earlier. Pretty much the same stunt was repeated in 2014, with patch notes such as 'Shadow Priests will be buffed to be almost as good as Warlocks in every way. Almost.' and 'The paladin ability Eternal Flame will now correctly set opponents on fire, forever'.

A number of bands, however, recognized that it was a parody and thought that it was them that it was parodying. Robert Plant, Dee Snider, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Steven Tyler, and Mike Mills all recognized aspects of the film that they had themselves experienced. One band (possibly MÃ¶tley CrÃ¼e) even tried to sue them. Other bands (most notably Slade) actually wanted to take credit as the band Spinal Tap was mocking.

Stealth Parody / int_5ce3fc86	comment	While Soul Eater can be taken at face value, it is quite likely that it is simply a long joke about Shōnen stereotypes. Black*Star and Tsubaki are widely considered to be expies of Naruto and Hinata, many of Maka's lines can be taken directly from Ed, and Soul has an interesting resemblance in backstory to Gokudera. The idea that the Grim Reaper is scary is thrown out the window, and a blatantly obvious love interest is thrown in and shoved in the face of the audience, but nothing happens. The author also said in an interview that he was really only considering putting in one or two canon pairings, and soon after put two minor characters in a relationship. The fandom was not happy. He seems to enjoy messing with his audience, although the show is still considered serious by many.

However, after Demi Lovato left the show following the second season after going to rehab due to personal issues, the show was rebooted as a defictionalized version of So Random! without Lovato, retaining the show's Stylistic Suck and outrageously over-the-top comic premises. Fans and critics unaware of the show's concept dismissed the show out of hand, and the reboot only survived one season.

A few episodes make the parody clear, such as his reviews of Caligula and Pieces (where Brad Jones appears As Himself to explain the whole thing up front), his review of Maniac (where he combines actual criticisms by noted critics with blatant Hypocritical Humor), and the increase in jokes about how the Snob sometimes hates movies only because he thinks he needs to hate anything that other critics hate.Watching the Snob praise Salo (an incredibly filthy Italian film which Brad despises but critics enjoy) is one of the most incredible parody moments ever put to film. The Snob spends the entire review sitting on the floor in his bathroom; most of his "serious" criticism of the film is punctuated by regular breaks to throw up violently into the toilet next to him.

Stealth Parody / int_6b85085e	comment	Mortal Kombat began as a video game adaption of a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. The character Johnny Cage is an obvious parody of Van Damme and basically everything about the game is ridiculously over-the-top, from the violence to the characters and endings to the fact that characters can continue living (and fighting) without vital organs. Somehow, the series manages to actually get more gruesome with each installment note The first game let you rip out your opponent's spine. By the 9th game, you got to see the opponent's internal organs being damaged/destroyed in glorious slow motion and X-ray vision..

It was also lost on most contemporary audiences when it first debuted. In Gulliver's case, the problem was that the parody was too stealthy. Circumstance, sadly, probably wouldn't have allowed it to ever be otherwise; if he had written a straight-up attack on English society, he would have risked political retribution, or at the very least, the ire of other citizens, so his only option was writing a symbolic fantasy story. Then again, it's probably better that it succeeded too well than succeeded too little. The fact that most remakes ignore the second half of the book (only covering Lilliput and Brobdingnag) probably doesn't help.

Stealth Parody / int_8ba4613a	comment	Some have speculated that Death Note is this for Shōnen tropes. Despite being a dark crime thriller with a megalomaniacal mass-murderer for a protagonist, when you get down to it it contains all the basic elements of a typical shonen series, albeit in forms twisted nearly beyond recognition: a young, justice-loving Chaste Hero (a narcissistic Knight Templar with delusions of godhood) who discovers magical powers (a notebook that can be used to instantly murder anybody) and gains a Fairy Companion (an amoral embodiment of death), makes a Worthy Opponent rival (a detective trying to apprehend him for his crimes) and picks up a persistent Genki Girl love interest (a vapid pop idol who's fanatically obsessed with him and, despite barely knowing him, is instantly willing to kill for, die for and marry him). Tsugumi Ohba comes off as a living super computer who knows every single manga trope inside and out. And he loves mindgames. The Stealth Parody interpretation makes a lot of sense.

The editing is seamless, and they got a darn good James Earl Jones soundalike to record Darth Vader's new lines, and those new lines start off as pretty reasonable changes. But as the first episode goes on, the absurdity gradually ramps up, until Darth Vader becomes a fountain of unnecessary exposition who interrupts his lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan to ramble about Senator Jar-Jar Binks. It's around that point that most viewers realize the Auralnauts are actually mocking the mindset that a classic film could be improved by editing it to be more like movies made decades later.

Stealth Parody / int_9114f7cf	comment	Snopes.com, a site that talks about urban legends and reveals their research into which ones are false and which ones are true, has a page ("The Repository Of Lost Legends", or "T.R.O.L.L."), which has a list of made-up (and largely absurd) urban legends. It then says they're all true (or if the "urban legend" is mundane, false). One such page talks about how Mr. Ed was a zebra, rather than a horse, because it was better-looking on camera and no one could tell in black-and-white video anyway. For laughs, on the site's forum, the site's proprietors post a lot of allegedly genuine responses to this, either accepting that Mr. Ed is a zebra or talking about all the ways in which it can be proved that Mr. Ed is not a zebra — none of which mention that the thought of a black-and-white zebra looking like a horse in black-and-white video is ridiculous. (It's part of their Aesop about trusting anybody too much. Whether it's a chain mail from your grandma or a trusted authority figure, don't use anyone as a crutch.) The article actually has an explanation for the whole black-and-white thing now, albeit a purposefully utterly absurd Voodoo Shark, describing how black and white too close together are rendered invisible on black and white television, and describing how this led to players being unable to spot referees in football and prisoners effortlessly sneaking past guards in Johnny Cash prison concerts. Despite the fact that, this logic followed to its (internally) logical thread would mean Mr Ed would too be invisible. Also the fact that since THE WORLD wasnâ€™t black and white when TV was, it makes zero sense for the people standing right there to be affected.

Even so, series creator Huggbees does a very good impersonation of the voiceover style from the original series, and most episodes start off with a subtle mixture of real facts and plausible lies, before gradually escalating into complete nonsense. The Youtube comments below each episode are filled with people describing how long it took them to realize they weren't watching a real episode of How It's Made. And of course, there was the time CNN got fooled, and linked to his "Bread" episode at the end of a news roundup. Huggbees himself doesn't think he's being particularly stealthy, and says people who mistake his show for the original are just not paying attention at all.

The villains all dress in ridiculous outfits, guards tend to menace people with spears, and the series appears to have been written for a young William Shatner and Brian Blessed. When you listen to the audio commentaries and other additional materials for the series you begin to realize that the Code Geass staff had a lot of fun working on this production, coming up with all manner of crazy ideas and in-jokes, suggesting they weren't above liberally combining Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny for the sake of increasing entertainment value. For example, the creators used the Britannia Emperor's larger-than-life character design in the show because it was hilarious for them. Combined with Norio Wakamoto's voice acting, this eventually led them to making the "Rocketmoto" sequence during a climatic part of the story, which the staff also approved due to its comedy value.

Its working title was "Naked Came the Badfic", in honor of Naked Came the Stranger, a similar collaborative hoax from The '60s that set out to — and eventually did — prove that you can make a book a #1 bestseller if you load it with enough sex, regardless of the actual literary quality.

Stealth Parody / int_b53b86fa	comment	The Princess Bride is even more of a Stealth Parody than the novel (see its entry under Literature), since it doesn't contain the fictionalized version of William Goldman making snide, Genre Savvy remarks on the side; in his place is simply an unnamed preadolescent boy, and most of the humor in the film's frame story comes from the boy's discomfort at the "kissing" scenes, rather than from broader satirical comments on the genre. The film works on the most basic level as straight adventure, with the elements of comic sendup found somewhat between the lines. There are a few actors blatantly hamming it up, but most of them are confined to single scenes (Mel Smith as the Albino; Billy Crystal and Carol Kane as Miracle Max and his wife; Peter Cook as a wedding clergyman), whereas the bulk of the performances in the film are fairly straight and deadpan. Roger Ebert in his review notes that the director, Rob Reiner, seems to be taking the same approach as in his earlier film This is Spinal Tap, where he stays true to the form of the genre he's parodying so that it can be appreciated on either level.

Stealth Parody / int_c0ed3f7a	comment	Believe it or not, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage) started out as a parody of dark, edgy comics of its time, specifically Daredevil and Ronin (1983), but forgot it was a parody about three issues in. Although the line was pretty blurred even at the start — the only thing that makes TMNT #1 a parody, and not a regular ninja revenge story with a couple of Daredevil references, is the fact that four turtles and a rat have the leading roles. The comic's creators originally had no idea the comic would be a success, so the fact that it later became Serious Business is hilarious in itself. It was also meant to parody the rampant sell-out/cash-in desires of its era's comic creators, making it more hilarious.

Their target, celebrated editor Max Harris, was so taken with the work that he rushed out a special Ern Malley edition of his journal Angry Penguins. In something of a backfire, the Malley oeuvre has eclipsed the hoaxers' own work to this day, with many calling it a genuine (if accidental) achievement.

Stealth Parody / int_ec28245c	comment	The Majin Buu arc of Dragon Ball Z is more humorous than the preceding arcs had been, but it also has the makings of someone lampooning how overblown the series had become at that point â€” except that someone was Akira Toriyama himself. note Keep in mind that Toriyama was originally (and to an extent, still is) a gag-manga author and that Dragon Ball itself started out as a gag-manga. Two characters make up ridiculously over-the-top names for ineffective attacks in a nod to the Calling Your Attacks nature of the series. One of those characters irreverently invokes more of the series' clichÃ©s for drama while fighting the Big Bad (long powers-ups, holding back his true power, trash talking, Heroic Second Wind, and New Powers as the Plot Demands), turning a long-awaited battle with the fate of the universe at stake into an outright farce. Another character gets an enormous power up just by sitting still for a long time as opposed to a grueling training session; while the character providing said power up is introduced in a series of jokes that take the piss out of some of the series' oldest clichÃ©s. The characters have become so ridiculously powerful that they can open holes between dimensions just by screaming. The Big Bad initially appears as a fat, pink, childlike demon that kills people by turning them into sweets and eating them; with one character noting that his name sounds like a fart. He is so ridiculously overpowered that he's nigh-unkillable (at one point he recovers from being reduced to smoke), has an insane amount of transformations (8 in total), and causes so much destruction that at one point almost the entire cast (along with Earth's population) is dead and the Earth itself is destroyed. The Joke Character ends up saving the world (momentarily) simply by telling the Big Bad that killing people is wrong. The revered Super Saiyan transformation, which once required extreme circumstances to reach, is easily obtained by a couple of young bratty kids that have no clue of its importance; while the new Super Saiyan form has a very exaggerated appearance and ends up only being useful for stalling the Big Bad due to failing at two critical moments, resulting in the Big Bad being defeated through a collaborative effort instead of one guy's game-changing power up. Finally, at one point, the Big Bad gets curb stomped by a fighting piece of candy.

It's used to teach in his classes, in fact. How many of the contributors are serious is another matter. It is fairly widely believed that he banned everyone but the trolls when he tried to crack down on the parody edits. Rational Wiki has described this as a "Poe Paradox", in which people who are too far to the left of his own position (which is most of the genuinely well-intentioned editors who otherwise broadly align with his political views) are banned as being potential parodists, while the ones extreme enough to make the grade are the most likely to be trolls upholding their Kayfabe.
