* ''Master Console'', a videogame magazine from the late 2000's, had in each issue a comic panel that spoofed one of the games reviewed in the issue. Most of them were hit and miss, but the most blatantly shallow was the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi'' ''3'' panel, which showed Goku running away from an [[{{Gonk}} overweight girl with glasses and wings]] who [[AbhorrentAdmirer wants to kiss him]] while complaining about how the characters in the ''Budokai Tenkaichi'' games become weirder and weirder in each game. Whoever made that comic probably believed that the main selling point of the series is the introduction of a slew of [[CanonForeigner new characters made up for the games]] in each title, something that ''never'' happened in that series. In fact, the distinguishing feature of that series was that it made almost every remotely combative character in the original playable; adding CanonForeigner fighters would have probably been less of a headache compared to the dozens of one-off characters, mooks, and SuperMode versions of other characters.
to:
* ''Magazine/{{Cracked}}'':
** An issue covering ''Film/Batman1989'' had a Creator/BurtWard-style Robin complaining that not only is he absent from the film, but he's dead in the comics. Never mind that it was Jason Todd who died and Dick Grayson was Nightwing at the time.
** Their parody of ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'' had Counsellor Troi as communications officer, which was actually part of Worf's duties. Probably they assumed that, since she's the only female in the crew, her role is the same as Uhura from [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the original series]].
** Most of the parodies found in the magazine in general barely qualified as such, with the only "parody" elements being the character names being replaced with spoof ones.
* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'':
** ''MAD'' parodies used to be written after the film was released and thus published a few months later, in part to keep on top of what movies were well-known enough to warrant them. One late-1970s article had them "selling" prematurely written parodies of movies and TV shows that ''weren't'' popular (''Gable and Lombard'', for instance) at a discount. This lag still applies to TV shows -- their parody of ''Series/EightSimpleRules'' was in the October 2003 issue... just in time for Creator/JohnRitter's sudden death.
** The ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' parody claims that "The book is still great" while making fun of many of the things that were directly lifted from the book. This is a recurring trend; MAD will often make fun of a work at the time of its release, then later unfavorably compare newer works to it, but it is rarely this inconsistent.[[note]]MAD ran a separate parody of the actual comic in another issue. It was somewhat gentler in its criticism, considerably more accurate to the point of redrawing panels from the original, and ended on a TakeThat to the idea of a movie adaptation.[[/note]]
** They also did a parody of ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' from a draft script of the movie, as it pokes fun at subplots that aren't actually in the film (for example, Jean Grey going blind after her battle with Cyclops). It also erroneously calls the film out on a PlotHole about Senator Kelly being alive in the sequel when he died in the original -- it was explicitly stated in the first film that Mystique had impersonated him, and [[ShowDontTell "Kelly's" eyes turn yellow after his meeting with Stryker in the second]].
** Similar to the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' example, the parody comic of ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' is based on the first draft screenplay, which is ''significantly'' different from the finished film. In their rush to get a parody out on time, they ended up parodying something that only barely resembles the movie itself.
** Their parody of ''Film/TheGoonies'' makes fun of the kids for being nothing but stereotypes, claiming that Chunk is a "lying jew" and making fun of Data's stereotypical Asian accent. However, Chunk and Data were written as the stereotypical fat kid and smart kid, Data's actor really did have that accent and Chunk's actor really was Jewish (he only makes two references to it in the movie anyways and they were both improvised by the kid). The character Steph is completely absent from Mad's parody of the film.
** It isn't just movies and TV shows that suffer from this in ''MAD'''s pages. In 1978, they decided they'd do "Mad's "Punk Rock Group" Of the Year." It reads as if having read a few newsmagazine articles about Music/TheSexPistols was enough research for the middle-aged writers, who have their fictional "Johnny Turd and the Commodes" sing songs with lines like:
--->''The world is garbage, and life is full of crap!''\\
''The United Nations has got the clap!''
** In a similar vein to the above example, during the late '80s and early '90s, the magazine had a few "parodies" of rap. A common feature in these "parodies" is that the lyrics have a lot of pauses in them, something which was mostly nonexistent in actual rap music at the time.
** The Mad parody of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' was published before the film came out, and the writers even admit that they don't have any idea what will actually happen in the film, as the movie's production and pre-release material were famously tight-lipped about revealing anything significant about the plot.

However, some of the jokes at ''Naruto the Abridged Series'' can come off as shallow too, since there's a tendency to exaggerate one-off gags (like the Mermaid Melody fandub gag) like as if it was an OverusedRunningGag, or its use of low-brow toilet humor that was non-existent in NTAS (like Naruto farting the alphabet, the OverlyLongGag of Naruto pissing on Inari, or the joke about Naruto having sex with a dead pig).

The narrator adds that you should take that [[HeManWomanHater "gynophobe"]] Lovecraft's claims [[UnreliableNarrator with a grain of salt.]] Thing is, Lovecraft never wrote any sexualised horror and is never noted to have had any aversion to women - if anything, Stross seems to have gotten him mixed up with his later imitators.

* ''[[Literature/PhulesCompany Phule's Errand]]'' by Peter J. Heck includes a long sequence which is a ''painfully'' Shallow Parody of Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/{{Foundation}}'' novels. "Perry Sodden" = Comedy gold!
* Creator/TSEliot noted that "Most parodies of one's own work strike one as very poor. In fact, one is apt to think one could parody oneself much better." This is in the context of praising an aversion; Henry Reed's "[[http://www.solearabiantree.net/namingofparts/chardwhitlow.html Chard Whitlow]]", which doesn't settle for making cheap swipes at Eliot's best-known works, but parodies what his poems are actually ''like''.

For starters, their Mercer stand-in becomes a "mutant ninja" who flies around kicking people complete with PowerGlows and {{Kiai}}.

* ''Manga/CheatSlayer'' was canceled after one chapter primarily because none of its parodies were more than surface-level. The concept seems interesting, in the idea of parodying other [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld Isekai]] characters and [[CorruptedCharacterCopy turning them into villains]] for the hero to defeat, and could have been a clever way of deconstructing the trend of Isekai in modern anime, manga, and light novels. However, in the actual series, the characters are simply portrayed as utterly horrible people with little to no resemblance to their original selves outside of name and appearance. The main scene that may have killed the series for going too far is the main character's childhood friend being brutally raped and murdered by, Louis Crawford, a CaptainErsatz of Shin Wolford, the main lead of ''Literature/WiseMansGrandchild'', who is portrayed as a sex maniac who loves having sex with multiple girls, even threatening them to get it... never minding that the character he's based on is a character who ''doesn't'' have a harem and has been [[OfficialCouple involved with a single love interest since the start of the series]].
