Hi
Not bad for a conversation starter.
No, the other one.
Is that a parody or a plain Shout-Out or other reference?
Check out my fanfiction!
The OP works well enough.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
What's it parodying?
The work where the blackboard scene comes from, presumably.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
The opening credits
◊ to The Simpsons, which we could point out in the caption if necessary.
The Unknown
Requiring the caption sucks, but this is probably the closest we'll get to illustrating the trope. I'm good with it (but would prefer a higher quality version, natch).
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
The only thing similar between the two pics is that both characters are writing lines on the black board (which itself is not a scene specific to either work/source, IMO). I'm still not seeing the "parody" aspect in the OP suggestion. It looks more like a Shout-Out or Homage Shot to me, in any case.
18's Glomp OF DOOM
With the simpsons caption, (possibly even a picture of Bart Simpson writing it out too), op works
I love you, Krillin!! -struggling to breathe- I love you as well, honey..
Perhaps a Self-Parody example like Wormhole X-Treme
◊ from Stargate SG-1? Would probably still need a comparison shot for effect.
No, the other one.
Self-Parody doesn't have an image, and that would be better there.

Agreed.
Do you feel we'd need a second shot for it to make sense on Self-Parody? It's clearly a Show Within a Show, and a caption might be sufficient.

Self-Parody examples aside, I'm sort of inclined to go with BUPKIS for Affectionate Parody; even if the parody is obvious, it's pretty difficult to distinguish "affectionate" parody from "regular" parody in a single pic.

Bump. I'm inclined to agree with no image, here.

No, the other one.
I agree that there hasn't been a sufficiently good suggestion for this page.

Changed my mind; none of the suggestions are good.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
The only thing that has gained some traction is to put 11/14 on Self-Parody. Any other thoughts on that?

The link isn't working for me, so I can't say.

I think that's a good idea.
I like the OP's idea for Affectionate Parody because as someone pointed out, it's tough to tell an affectionate parody from a not-so-affectionate one.
And that one clearly is affectionate.
However, the image itself is way too low-quality. Get a higher quality version, and maybe stack it with a Simpsons example
◊ and I'm all for it.
Hi
Clock is set.
Perhaps Tom and Jerry and Itchy and Scratchy
◊?
I was thinking that for the for the main page, this image from Fairly Oddparents would be appropriate. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/b/b2/The_Fairly_OddParents_Channel_Chasers.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150119033134
