History Main / ParodiedTrope

Sometimes this comes in the form of an ExaggeratedTrope, or even a DownplayedTrope. Sometimes it overlaps with ZigZaggingTrope, or InvertedTrope. If the trope is called on by the author, but still used, it's a LampshadeHanging.

* DragonBallZAbridged uses SpaceX far more then anyone has any right to. Some examples being: Space Duck, Space Skype, Space Austrailia (Go Space Broncos!), Space Frenchmen, Space Christ, Ole' Space Yeller, and [[OverlyLongGag many]] ''many'' more.

* ''TropicThunder'' spoofed loads of moviemaking tropes and some war movie tropes.

Not to be confused with ParodyTropes (a list of tropes that are parodies themselves).

* Since ''Soapdish'' is a parody of {{Soap Opera}}s, many of their tropes also get spoofed: BackFromTheDead (a decapitated character is brought back courtesy of MagicPlasticSurgery), SoapOperaDisease (the mysterious illness making a character mute is revealed as BrainFever), LukeIAmYourFather[=/=]AbsurdlyYouthfulMother (one character is revealed to be the mother of a character only a few years younger than her)... and those are just the ones parodied in the SoapWithinAShow. The performers' personal lives include an unwittingly incestuous LoveTriangle (an actress, her ex, and the daughter she bore him without telling him), LukeIAmYourFather[=/=]FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo (said actress told her daughter she was her niece until she unwittingly started dating her own father)... and more.

* ''TotalOverdose'' parodies the HyperspaceArsenal in the opening scene, as Ram carries every single gun in the game in his arms, and a stick of dynamite in his mouth.

* ''SouthPark'' of course makes fun of loads of tropes and plots from AllJustADream to ZombieApocalypse.

* "Muffin the Vampire Baker", the most shameless parody to have appeared in ''SluggyFreelance'' up until that date, went so overboard for much of [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19990516 one strip]] that the trope it was actually parodying has to be identified as ''parody itself'' (especially of characters).
* The ''RatchetAndClank'' games do this quite a bit.

* ''BadBoys II'' spoofed FlashedBadgeHijack when Marcus waves down a car (driven by MichaelBay in a CreatorCameo), and Mike says that car would suck for a ChaseScene, so they should get a better one.

* Just about everything MelBrooks does.

* The online roleplaying game ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' includes a parody of the iconic Obama poster which reads "Trope"

* ''TheSimpsons'', too, makes fun of plenty of tropes, and in fact one of its sendups of {{Retirony}} is where the [[TropeNamer trope name comes from]].

* ''AtopTheFourthWall'' spoofs TotallyRadical with the '90s Kid character.

* ''WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaChick'' spoofed BlackBestFriend, with Nella, who's white but adopted.
