shouldn't there be one for The Fly? it seems like half the cartoons in the '90s had someone go through a teleporter accident and turn into half-flies. (unless Teleporter Accident itself would qualify for that?)

anyone else think the exact subject of each parody should be cited, too? the list of subtropes on Whole Plot Reference have this, and i think it would be useful to do so.

It was spoofing the "Indian shedding a single tear" recycling PSA from the early 80s.

Because nobody YKTTW'ed one, I think. Also, are they widespread enough to warrant their own trope?

I think we need one for Jurassic Park parodies. They seem to be pretty widespread.
I have an idea for a trope, “Gordon Ram SIKE”, mainly characters that are based entirely on the actual chef Gordon Ramsay.
