These arguments are reasonable enough, so I'll go back to my first assessment: the distinction between "regular" Parody and Affectionate Parody is one I don't think can be captured in an image without a lampshade of some sort. On top of that, most suggestions will require familiarity with the works to distinguish it from a Shout-Out.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Agreed with Morgenthaler. Definitely make this BUPKIS.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Is there enough consensus to make this BUPKIS? If not, bump for more opinions.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Well, if there's no way around it.
(Annoyed grunt)As Morgenthaler said in post #52, this is nigh-impossible to illustrate in a single image without a lampshade. So yeah, make this BUPKIS.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I've re-clocked this one to give more time on the discussion. I'm leaning toward calling this a BUPKIS case as well.
BUPKIS, then.
(Annoyed grunt)Is that enough consensus for BUPKIS?
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I've not seen any suggestion I like.
Check out my fanfiction!Do you think this should be BUPKIS, then?
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!There's no image that's better than no image.
Check out my fanfiction!So you agree that this should be BUPKIS?
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!That's 6 tropers (including me) who think this should be BUPKIS. A couple more votes and we can run with it.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Count me in.
The page has been tagged; I'll update the list shortly. Locking up.
Honestly, I'd make this BUPKIS.
