A '''parody''' is a humorous mockery of notable songs, [[movies]], etc. in popular [[culture]].
A '''parody''' is a humorous mockery of popular [[songs]], [[literature]], [[films]], or even genres. Parody is often mixed with [[satire]], which attacks the character of individuals through parody.
== Examples ==
[[Johnathan Swift]]'s ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]'' parodied the entire genre of travelers' journals, made popular by [[Daniel Defoe]]'s ''[[Robinson Crusoe]].'' It creates absurd stories and lands, and in doing so, mocked sectarian war, the English legal and political system, and the scientists of the [[Royal Society]].
Novels by ''Terry Pratchett'', while based in a fantasy world, parody diverse elements of modern society, from business, to culture, to war.
A number of films (unfortunately, often crude and liberal) mock famous films. ''Austin Powers'' is a parody of the ''James Bond'' series for example.
''The Onion'' is a popular fake-news newspaper, which creates absurd stories in the style of real reporting.
== Conservapedia policy toward parodists ==
A number of liberals think it amusing to insult and mock conservatives by posting absurd, over-the-top parody at Conservapedia, typically to paint conservatives as [[racist]], unintelligent, or otherwise absurd. Given that this behavior is extremely harmful to Conservapedia's editors and readers alike, not to mention highly offensive, there is a zero-tolerance policy toward parody.
