So I am making a youtube series, and every episode will involve the reoccurring characters parodying a different genre. I looked at the genres page, but the problem is this show will parody different genres from different mediums, such as anime, tv shows, or movies, while the page has most of these genres separated.

So basically, if you were to watch a show like this, what genres would you like to see parodied? So far the only suggestions I've received from friends are Magic Girl anime and Detective Film Noir. Practically everything is welcome, and I might even credit whoever gives me the idea if they ask. Ciao!

How about 80s/90s kids sports movies?

I like that, and it made me come up with another one, a very special episode or old PSA parody that goes through basically every theme a PSA could have. Probably has been done before, but I'm not sure.

Some sort of Cyberpunk/Post-Cyberpunk/Steampunk/etc mashup parody, perhaps?

Actually, the show has a pretty Steampunk aesthetic going on in some places. And I need the genres more for the stories than the settings, because its all going to take place in the same BASIC setting.
