* ''WebVideo/AvatarTheAbridgedSeries'' is, like its many brethren, at heart a fan series that isn't afraid to make friendly jabs at [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the source material]]. While much of its humour is derived by ''changing'' aspects of the original show, a lot of it still comes for exaggerating character traits and pointing out the show's plot holes and illogical-ness. For example, [[OnlySaneMan Sokka]] points out some anachronisms in episode 10:
-->'''Sokka:''' Let me get this straight. You can invent tanks (invented 1915), jet skis (1973), and a gigantic freakin' drill (20xx). But the concept of a hot air balloon (1783) eluuuuuuudes you.\\
'''The Mechanist:''' Umm... yes.\\
'''Sokka:''' I hate this world and everyone in it.
* ''Webcomic/EveryoneIsHome'' is a parody of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', showing all the fighters living together in one house.
* ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyCamaraderieIsSupernatural'' literally invokes this as one of the Elements of Parody: "Faithfulness to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the Source Material]]."
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' The best parodies are those which positively build on the original work, rather than rely on things like gratuitous cursing and unrelated pop culture jokes. There's a reason the original show caught people's interest in the first place, and paying tribute to that isn't a cop-out... IT'S COMEDY!
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' proved this in Episode 50 with an immensely encouraging speech from Joey about copyright infringement but at its core showed how affectionate the series really is.
-->'''Joey:''' Yeah, I have a closing statement. Maybe we have committed copyright infringement. But you gotta know we've done everything in our power to support the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' franchise! And if it weren't for us, I don't think the show would be nearly as strong as it is right now!\\
'''Johnson:''' And where is your evidence of such?\\
'''Joey:''' Look around, Johnson! There are more Yu-Gi-Oh fans now than ever before! And the more you try to stifle our creativity, the more we'll try to express our love for a show that's about more than children's card games! It's about fighting for what you believe in, and I believe in this show and its fans now more than ever! Because they believe in me!
* ''WebVideo/VisionOfEscaflowneAbridged'' spoofs the canon show's sillier elements, but with clear fondness and respect for the source material. To the point that it actually keeps a lot of the character development and romance from canon (albeit in an exaggerated way for comedy), and the Abridged Finale is widely considered to be better since [[spoiler:[[BittersweetEnding unlike in canon]], Hitomi [[IChooseToStay chooses to stay]] and [[RelationshipUpgrade gets together with Van]].]]
* ''Fanfic/CreamedCherries'' is a WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}} fanfic that, oddly, doesn't parody anything Creator/{{Disney}} related, but is a lighthearted retelling of the memetic [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield "Steamed Hams"]] skit from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
* ''WebVideo/StarWarsUncut'' is a parody remake of ''Star Wars'' using 15 second videos from people all over the world. Some are more faithful than others, but they parody it because they love it.
* ''Fanfic/SupermanAndMan'' has the Pre-Crisis Franchise/{{Superman}} watching ''Film/SupermanTheMovie''. That scene lampshades the way the 1978 film is even cornier and sillier than the Pre-Crisis comics it's based on; yet still it's acknowledged the fact that ''Superman'' is an entertaining movie made with care.
* ''WebVideo/SuperTherapy'':
** This Website/YouTube series of fan videos is a parody of the whole superhero genre. Each episode is a therapy session of various heroes and villains from the Franchise/{{the DC|U}} or Franchise/MarvelUniverse (plus [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader and Palpatine]] in the last one), looking at their various psychological issues.
** "Two-Face Therapy!" also introduces a parody of Series/DrPhil who temporarily replaces the usual therapist.
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8016097/1/Da_Hungah_Games_Directors_Cut Da Hungah Games: Director's Cut]] parodies Literature/TheHungerGames trilogy... With characters from ''Manga/OnePiece''. And, apparently, in this fic, Panem is the remains of [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnia]] and not America.
* ''Twilight The Musical'' is...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin one of these for]] ''[[Literature/Twilight2005 Twilight]]'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and it's a musical.]] That's debatable though; the creators profess to love ''Twilight'' in their [[LyingCreator behind-the-scenes material]], but then, they also say that they were [[BearsAreBadNews attacked by a bear]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/user/bunchoflemons#grid/user/0598661CE1F4637E Reid Oliver Cartoon Saga]] is a very affectionate parody of the gay love triangle on ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns''.
* The Evangelion fanfic ''Fanfic/TheReprintAndRepackagingOfEvangelion'' happily employs this trope.
* Referenced at the end of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5093654/38/Drabbles_The_Life_of_Yami_Marik this]] {{MST}} of ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' by a couple of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' characters. The author likes POTO, really, she does.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonDelusionalVersion'' is an AffectionateParody of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite''.
* ''Fanfic/TravelsThroughAzerothAndOutland'' parodies guild drama with the squabbling partisan groups seen in Wintergrasp.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5504060/1/When_the_War_is_Over When the War Is Over]]'' deconstructs a few logical problems with the British sci-fi puppet show ''Series/CaptainScarletAndTheMysterons'' and takes the show's premise in new and interesting directions. It's also quite funny.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3396742/1/Harry_Potter_as_written_by Harry Potter as written by...]]'' is a look at ''Literature/HarryPotter''---as written by other authors, including [[Film/TheGodfather Mario Puzo]], [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Anthony Burgess]], and Creator/GeorgeOrwell. A work in progress...
* ''[[http://rhiannon-s.livejournal.com/217599.html The Thing In The Woods]]'' is a nice, short, little affectionate parody of Creator/HPLovecraft, with all the PurpleProse and silly EldritchAbomination names so prevalent in Lovecraftian fiction turned up to eleven.
* ''[[http://rhiannon-s.livejournal.com/674070.html How Brian Blessed Got His Beard]]'' is an affectionate parody of old fashioned fairytales and "Just So" stories, as well as an affectionate parody of '''Creator/BrianBlessed'''[[note]]and now [[DrinkingGame/TVTropes take a shot]][[/note]].
* The episode "Tracer Bullet In Color!" from ScriptFic ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is this to the FilmNoir genre, possessing both a genuine plot and lots of [[VisualPun Visual Puns]].
* The [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3140141/1/Calvin_at_Camp_Never_Had_a_Friend_Like_Ed movie]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3475442/1/Calvin_at_Camp_The_Return_of_Bowser parodies]] in ''FanFic/CalvinAtCamp'' are like this, complete with song parodies.
* ''WebVideo/PoniesTheAnthology'' and its sequel are pony-style WebVideo/{{AMV Hell}}s that parody everything from Gilda Radner to Music/KanyeWest.
** Ditto with another pony style AMV Hell, ''WebAnimation/TheSuperPonyPowerHour''.
* ''Fanfic/SpiderMikeSpiderman'' is similar to WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph, but it features extra elements and WesternAnimation/TotalDrama characters.
* ''Fanfic/HitmanMiami'' pokes good-natured fun at the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' games, especially the second one.
* Two examples are present in ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'':
** ''Literature/{{Holes}}'' is lovingly parodied in ''Dig It''.
** The author's favorite game show, ''Series/{{Interceptor}}'', is also affectionately parodied in ''The Interceptor''.
* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/120319/a-series-of-stories A Series of Stories]]'' is a parody and satire of the recurring cliches in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fandom. The writer is a passionate brony and loves the fandom, and just wanted to poke fun at the cliches the fandom created. He even makes it a point to include cliches he ''likes'' just to ensure it stays that way.
* ''[[FanFic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]]'' parodies all of the headcanons and the unknown nature of Equestrian history, by creating a completely absurd version of Equestrian history that somehow, fits completely within canon. It also lovingly parodies academic essays in general, and fics that are written in an essay-like style, by blowing out any semblances of academic professionalism and logic out of the water while maintaining its own essay-like structure, with a ridiculously crazy LemonyNarrator and her equally crazy [[TheConspiracy conspiracy theories]].
* The ''WebAnimation/TouhouM1GrandPrix'' is a parody of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-1_Grand_Prix Autobacs M-1 Grand Prix.]]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10198025/1/ Heroes of Kalos Abridged]]'' is an affectionate parody of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', in which Serena is a fashionista pyromaniac.
* The author of Fanfic/DantesNightAtFreddys has stated he loves both videos games the crossover involves, but does not shy away from mocking them, especially the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.
* WebVideo/TheFrauds is this to Norwegian comedy group Music/{{Ylvis}}.
* ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' STARTED as this to an older, similar fic. ParodyDisplacement and GrowingTheBeard turned it into something [[CrackFic different]].
* ''FanFic/HotspringSouls'' is a ''Soulsborne'' (''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'', ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'', and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'') crossover comedy fic that plays with the idea of the games' protagonists having a weekend vacation at an inn/hotspring in the countryside. Note that the original games are bleak, borderline depressing, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking most definitely do not involve hotsprings!]]
* ''FanFic/ThomasAbridged'' picks apart every inconsistency in [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends the TV Series]], but it's made clear (and assured by the author in the first paragraph of the first chapter) that there's no hard feelings towards it.
* Creator/TeamFourStar has repeatedly stated this is the case with ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', saying that while they might have quibbles with some aspects of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', they still love it. They've also discussed how parody really does require a degree of fondness for the source material because otherwise it's all too easy to fall into the territories of Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike, HateFic, etc.
* ''Fanfic/OversaturatedWorld'': The characters of Sailor Orbital are openly aware they're modeling themselves off an expy of the Franchise/SailorMoon franchise. They're having the time of their lives.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has one sidestory that acts to the now-dubbed [[ExpandedUniverse Resetverse]], the ''Dude Gaiden''. It also includes several scenes that parody specific oneshots written by the different authors.
* ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' invokes this in-universe when the kids at the eponymous school form a DramaClub and put on a SchoolPlay version of ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017''. Before beginning final dress rehearsals, director [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition Dorian]] allows them to do one run-through which is purely silly, to get the giggles out of their systems. The way they treat the dialogue, and even one of the songs, is clearly this.
* The [[AnonymousAuthor anonymous author]] behind the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fanadventure ''Webcomic/CoolAndNewWebComic'' repeatedly demonstrates their deep knowledge of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' canon, often bringing up long-forgotten plot minutiae and adapting them to serve his own story's purposes.
* The ''VideoGame/TownOfSalem [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay6z5vDuFig IRL]]'' video series mercilessly mocked the oddities of ''VideoGame/TownOfSalem'', but it's clear that they know a lot about the game and the players.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fan comic ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'' largely follows canon events to a T while also poking fun at certain aspects of the show and calling out the less-than-stellar decisions of various characters.
* ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' is a [[DoorStopper full-length]] parody of ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' that, while generally mocking all of the characters and factions, follows the entire storyline from start to finish and ultimately takes the story fairly seriously.
* Creator/TheWinglet: Many of his videos poke fun at elements of ''[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 TF2]]'s'' gameplay and community.
** ''Hit Detection'' is all about ''[=TF2=]'s'' wonky hitbox detection. The Red team in the video pulls off some completely inconceivable kills like shooting enemies from behind a corner, the bullets magically redirecting themselves to hit, and cutting off an enemy's head from several meters away with a ''sword''.
** ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Vs. [=TF2=]'' is an absurd comedy that pits characters from both games against each other, and makes several gags around the memes and conventions from both communities. Examples include a battle between Widowmaker and the Sniper that goes nowhere because neither of them can ''aim for jack-squat'', or the absurd amount of CrowdControl in ''Overwatch'' that completely negates all of the ''[=TF2=]'' mercenaries movements.
** ''An Australian Christmas Bloody Miracle'' (if that title wasn't enough of a giveaway) is the Winglet making fun of his home country of Australia by basically reducing it to a Film/MadMax-esque landscape inhabited only by ''Snipers''. They also drive heavily weaponized trucks, drink beer that apparently tastes like ass, and even attack the Demoman with a ''crocodile'' at one point.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonCrossing'': The villainous teams of the series, Team Cottage and Pastel, are parodies of the 'aesthetic' side of the VideoGame/AnimalCrossing fandom. While still a threat to the Hoenn region, the leaders and admins have exaggerated personalities.
* ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheSaveUms'' is a playful parody of ''WesternAnimation/TheSaveUms'' that has the titular characters replaced with teen movie archetypes, including the NiceGirl, the LovableJock, the smart ShrinkingViolet, the AnnoyingYoungerSibling, the cute TagAlongKid, and [[TheEveryman Tom]].
* ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook'' does a few of these in-universe. The series is a LighterAndSofter AlternateUniverseFic of the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' games, but over the course of the stories, the students and teachers have some fun with real-world media. In particular, they do a stage performance of ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017,'' and the final dress rehearsal is an absolutely ridiculous send-up of the film complete with Filk Songs.
* ''WebAnimation/TheMandelaMagazine'' is both a celebration and a satire of the AnalogHorror series ''WebVideo/MandelaCatalogue'', managing to be incredibly eerie at times while maintaining animator Creator/SrPelo's signature usage of BlackComedy.
* Although ''Fanfic/SognicMalltiverseOfMadness'' is overall a lot sillier than the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, and Sognic is a HeroicComedicSociopath version of Sonic, this series was still made out of love for the Sonic franchise. There are frequent references to various aspects of Sonic's history.
