Parodies make fun of dramas, comedies, action, romance and every other genre imaginable. But what about other parodies?

Yup. They mock those too.

These targeted spoofs, like all works, conform to certain rules and vary in quality, creating room for other works to give them a taste of their own medicine.

For cases when a spoof doesn't realize that its source material is a spoof, see SpoofedTheIronicFilmSeriously. When the spoof unwittingly lifts a joke directly from the source spoof, it's a RedundantParody.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' started off as a parody of Daredevil but soon enough got several parodies of its own, the most well-known of which is ''Comicbook/AdolescentRadioactiveBlackBeltHamsters''.

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Chapter 5, [[http://www.gamejag.net/forum/index.php?/topic/14426-children-of-balls-5-tale-of-the-bash/ "Tale of the Bash"]], of the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' parody fanfic "Children of Balls", parodies the whole concept of usually humorous [[RevengeFic "bashing stories"]] that take revenge on a particular character. "Children of Balls" itself is in large part built around hating Abdel Adrian, the protagonist of the ''Baldur's Gate'' [[Literature/BaldursGate novelisations]], but the writer tries to make the point here that bashing stories tend not to reflect the actual features of the character being attacked, and hence reflect the writer's animosity rather than presenting valid criticism and good parody. Thus, this chapter tells about a character referred to as "[insert the name of a character you don't like]."
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae9w7iw2Hng Gendo's Paradise]]" is an old AMV using ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' footage that homages/parodies Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Amish Paradise", which in turn was a parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* The movie ''Film/NotAnotherNotAnotherMovie'' tells the story of a talentless team of moviemakers who make a parody movie in the vein of the many spoofs from the 2000s.
* The first ''Film/AustinPowers'' films were spoofs of spy films, particularly ''Film/JamesBond''. The third installment just mocked its own predecessors -- movies that were themselves parodies.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* David Brent of ''Series/TheOfficeUK'' parodies the tendency for British mimics to [[SpoofedTheIronicFilmSeriously spoof comic personas]] like Creator/DameEdna. Brent fancies himself a genius comedian; his reliance on riffing on these kinds of characters is a pretty good clue that ultimately, he has nothing.
* David Brent's TransatlanticEquivalent, [[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott]], is also shown to fall back on stock parodies and well-worn catchphrases, often cribbed from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. His failure with these mocks the routines themselves.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': In one episode, Ted suggests that Weird Al Yankovic do a parody called "Wake Me Up Before You Pogo".
* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Weird Al's many food-related parodies got some fun poked at them in an episode where all of Jenna's serious songs were "parodied" by someone who simply replaced the lyrics with names of food.
* ''Series/MrShow'' has a sketch including a Weird Al Yankovic expy parodying a current event by inserting a lame, food-based pun.
* The ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketches from TheEighties where Joe Piscopo parodied Creator/DavidLetterman, since Letterman's edition of ''Series/LateNight'' was already a send-up of talk show and variety show conventions.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* Music/TheRutles, generally speaking. Music/TheBeatles were well aware of the absurdities of pop stardom and more than willing to send themselves up, so any parody Beatles band is bound to run into this trope. If you don't know the chronology it can be hard to tell if "Piggy in the Middle" is a parody of "I am the Walrus" or vice versa.
* It's worth pointing out that, despite him being culturally omnipresent in the early 2000s, funny spoofs of Music/{{Eminem}}'s music only really started to emerge after his ''Recovery'' era, when he started putting out more earnest, serious radio-friendly hip-hop music instead of the largely humourous and ironic music he made until then - his originals would always be better crafted and funnier, so parodists left him alone. Even the parody of him on ''Series/BrassEye'' (in which a paedophile rapper tells an absurd story about how his father raped him while he was a foetus, rhyming 'cervix' with 'perv dicks') is so close to his style of the time that it comes across as an excuse for Creator/ChrisMorris to create a loving pastiche of his work, rather than criticise it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam is a merciless parody of American professional wrestling(''sometimes'' Mexicans get a pass because of some of its alumni had a good relationship with Wrestling/{{CMLL}}), and that includes parts of American pro wrestling that were already self parody, such as the Chicago hot potato title belt that was "awarded" to losers, which DDT parodied with "The King Of Dark" title belt, which in addition to that wasn't even allowed outside of dark matches, dooming the hapless "champions" to obscurity.
* The Human Tornado verges between tribute and parody to ''Film/{{Dolemite}}'', a BlaxploitationParody film.
* Jimi Mayhem, a parody of Shonuff from ''Film/TheLastDragon'', a martial arts film parody. He even interrupted a screening of the movie on its anniversary!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* The ''Toys/WackyPackages'' subline "Wonky Packages" uses parodying parodies as their main existence. First, ''Wacky Packages'' parodies an existing product. Then, the Wonky Packages are parodies of this parody, further pulling them away from the original product.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Small Bots'', a [[ShowWithinAShow comic-within-a-comic]] in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' which parodies ''Webcomic/LilFormers'', which parodies ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* Many web sources have tried their hand spoofing the critically panned works of Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg.
** ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' capped its analysis of the movies with an insulting, fake movie trailer transcript for a future installment: [[http://www.cracked.com/article_17674_how-to-make-jokeless-comedy-studying-epic-movie-guys.html Vampire Movie]]. This proved eerily prescient; Seltzer and Friedberg's next film turned out to be ''Film/VampiresSuck''. Heck, the trailer narration even used the same pun as ''Vampires Suck'''s title. Not to mention the prediction that a theoretical Seltzer and Friedberg ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' spoof, despite inevitably being horrible, would also make money nonetheless.[[note]]''Vampires Suck'' made back four times its budget at the box office.[[/note]]
** ''Series/TheSoup'' similarly offered its parody of the parodies, titled ''[[http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-soup/videos/708807/title/soup-reference-movie Reference Movie]]''.
* WebVideo/{{Phelous}} has done this a few times on AprilFoolsDay. The first time, he did a parody review of a parody series he starred in called ''WebVideo/MortalKomedy''. [[HypocriticalHumor He mocked the series' meta jokes]] and terrible fight choreography. In 2015, he mocked his review of ''Film/MacAndMe'' for its awkward joke deliveries. Seven years later, he made a review of ''that'' review.
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' frequently has lines taken directly from the Creator/FourKidsEntertainment ''Anime/YuGiOh'' dub, sometimes {{lampshade}}d with "Actual 4Kids Dialogue," and sometimes not. Although it seems like a standard AbridgedSeries practice to mock bad dialogue, 4Kids themselves frequently inserted [[GagDub metacommentary and self-parody]] into the series. Creator/LittleKuriboh himself called the writers "[[https://twitter.com/yugiohtas/status/958531665776672769?lang=en very meta and very funny.]]"
* ''WebOriginal/TonyZaret'' parodies "funny satire" videos, often taking on the role of an edgy conservative pretending to be a "cringe liberal".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou spoofs]] have become so common that when ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' does a brief one at the start of its final "Imaginationland" episode, it called out the concept as unoriginal and then chastised itself for relying on it.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' have taken several shots at ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'':
** "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" featured a peek inside the ''MAD'' offices. A group of writers tries to come up with a witty name for an ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' spoof. "How about Everybody ''Hates'' Raymond?" suggests one writer, to unanimous applause.
** In "Bart of Darkness", Bart reads a ''MAD'' strip on "The Lighter Side of Hippies" and comments "They don't care ''whose'' toes they step on!"
** In "New Kids on the Blechh", the ''MAD'' parody of Party Posse consists entirely of cheap PunnyNames like Smellson.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Brian and Stewie found themselves transported into the world of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' in Season 8 episode [[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E1RoadToTheMultiverse "Road To The Multiverse."]] The characters mocked the show's [[ReferenceOverdosed tendency]] to use [[HypocriticalHumor references as jokes]].
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': Dark Vegan and the episode he debuted in, "Johnny Test in Outer Space", were parodies of Dark Helmet and ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' respectively, which in turn were parodies of Darth Vader and ''Franchise/StarWars''
