Redundant Parody is not a YMMV trope (even if it sounds like it could be one). Putting "YMMV, but X could be considered this" when the entry is already on the YMMV page (combined with the previous point) just sounds like a forced attempt at shoehorning a trope where it doesn't belong.

* RedundantParody: YMMV, but doing a Phantom Menace parody fourteen years after its release (and having already done similar jokes with the actual Star Wars series) could be considered this.

incorrect use of this trope as in the 2000s the hate towards the prequels was still very much alive, also who says this show is only ever allowed to reference something once? Also this is hardly the first celebrity paradox the show has had.
