Why is this listed as a "subjective trope"? It seems to me that it's very clearly and objectively defined: a parody that's still well-known when the original has faded into obscurity.

• As with Daffy Duck and "despicable" (in the Western Animation section below), the character of "Grimace" from the McDonald's commercials aimed at children has resulted in the widespread mispronunciation of the word "grimace", which is supposed to have the stress on the second syllable ("gri-MACE"), not the first ("GRIM-uhs").

This "mispronunciation" is in fact an alternate pronunciation, according to a dictionary predating McDonaldland somewhat, so I'm pretty certain that whoever wrote that example was giving the character undeserved credit. But aside from that, I don't think pronunciations of words even qualify as examples of this trope.

Hmmm... I would have expected a lot more examples in the Video Games section here...

Does anybody still remember the series parodies by Geoffrey Willans, hevily illustrated by Ronal Searle, concerning a not terribly able pupil called Nigel Molesworth at a not terribly well=thought-of British boarding school called St. Custards? Searle is nowadays remembered as the guy who invented the concept of St. Trinians (though he'd probably be turning in his grave if he could see the current franchise), but it's worth noting that the word "Hogwarts" comes from the Molesworth books, where it is the name of the headmaster of a rival school. Also, "The Hogwarts" is, according to Molesworth, an obscure ply by Aristophanes. Naughty Ms. Rowling!

• Not a lot of people these days realise that the iconic "closing doors/phone box at end of corridor" is a quite deliberate parody on similar sequences in The Man From UNCLE

Is there a version of the Man from UNCLE opening credits that includes a phone box? The ones I've seen don't.
