** Goro is fat and unattractive [[note]]the main female lead doesn't show any attraction to him, but shows attraction to the two male main characters, even though he likes her[[/note]]. He is parody of how otakus (in this case, mecha anime fans) are seen by non-otakus. To further accentuate the "otaku" angle, his robot is a parody of Boss Borot from ''Anime/MazingerZ'', and he also as a poster of Anime/CaptainHarlock in it.
** The popularity of the SuperRobot Albegas results in dedicated fans creating the "Albegas encyclopedia". It is a bestseller and contains details such as the combining of Albegas, the strategy the Dellingers up to that point, and it's pilots. However, it doesn't mention the Gori-Robo, causing Goro to get angry and complain [[DudeWheresMyRespect about the lack of respect he gets]].

* ''Manga/RoosterFighter'': The manga takes the classic superhero format, but the hero is a supernaturally strong and perpetually angry small animal.

* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'' parodies ''Magazine/ShonenJump''-y action manga, particularly ''MAnga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'' and ''Anime/YuGiOh''

to:

*''Anime/{{Albegas}}'' is a parody of several mecha anime that preceded it; in a way it can be comparible to ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR''.
**The main heroes are three kids that are FamedInStory for their heroic exploits, but their SixthRanger, Goro, who does a lot of the work, is always ignored (which is a reference to how anime fandoms favour certain characters over the others).

**The main female lead is constantly kidnapped and used for gratuitous {{fanservice}} (despite the fact that of the main three, she's the most skilled with robots).
**In the GrandFinale, the main character [[spoiler: genocides the entire race of the alien that invaded their planet, massacring several innocents along the way. Keep in mind that throughout the show, some of the aliens of this race were amongst their friends and allies]].

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' parodies the typical HaremGenre manga. The premise is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, giving the manga tons of ammunition to poke fun at common harem tropes and cliches.

Moving some light novel-specific examples to the literature page.


* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' is a good-natured send-up of HeroicFantasy novels, games, and anime.



* ''Literature/BenTo'' is one for the average shounen FightingSeries, taking SeriousBusiness to extreme levels (half-priced lunch boxes), parodying the nom-du-guerres of each character, etc.



* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is this for every previous anime set in a high school, and [[FollowTheLeader probably a lot of the ones that came after it, too]].
* ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' is probably the [[QuirkyWork weirdest]] infatuated parody of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos ever made. It also makes fun of many trappings of the {{otaku}} lifestyle, as well as the HaremGenre.
* ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}'' for BrotherSisterIncest and HaremGenre shows. Kirino's favorite ShowWithinAShow, "Stardust Witch Meruru," does this to MagicalGirl anime.
** ...until ''Ore Imo'' gets serious. In turn the show itself also has parodies.



* ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail'' is basically what you get when you run ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' through as many {{Light Novel|s}} tropes as possible, all the while gleefully poking fun at the general goofiness of ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (the anime screenwriter has experience with Akibaranger, after all).
* ''Literature/IfHerFlagBreaks'' is a gentle parody of the HaremGenre, by infusing it with RapidFireComedy and packing in pretty much every CharacterArchetype LoveInterest ever invented for it, then exaggerating said characters.

* ''LightNovel/NinjaSlayer'' is pretty much a parody of 80's and 90's Anime from how Americans thought of Anime at the time. That is Ultraviolence, LesYay, Ninjas, Cyberpunk and LimitedAnimation.

* ''Anime/MyLoveStory'' parodies a lot of tropes in romance manga. It also shifts focus of the story to a character who would normally be seen as "the best friend" in most Japanese love stories.

* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' is an affectionate SelfParody of the Franchise/NasuVerse, as it depicts characters from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' in bizarre and goofy situations, such as the Holy Grail War being reduced to a Game Show, or playing a beach volleyball match (with ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' mechanics no less), where [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender poor Ciel was severely injured and abused]] (Mostly by [[FriendlyEnemy Arcueid]]). Aside of all this absurdity, they all look pretty happy (Even the local ChewToy Lancer) and living normal lives, very uncommon in the source material.

* ''Manga/GanbareNakamuraKun'': Is a parody of BoysLove, in which the ButtMonkey protagonist multiple times fails to get closer to his crush by failing to use multiple tropes associated with the genre. That said, the main romance is so earnest and legitimately cute that it seems to come from a place of love for the genre.

* The ShowWithinAShow of ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'', ''Anime/{{Gekiganger 3}}'', is a homage to and parody of classic SuperRobot anime such as ''Manga/GetterRobo'', and ''also'' serves as an ironic counterpoint to the main show's plot! Impressive.

* With ''Anime/ShinkonGattaiGodannar's'' hot-blooded retro theme song, ridiculous ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''-esque MultinationalTeam, [[CallingYourAttacks attack-yelling]] and absurd robot design, it's highly unlikely the creators were being serious here.
