'Scream'

The 'Scream' comedy franchise based its first installment on an excellent parody that combined elements of 'Scream' (one of the most important horror sagas of recent years) and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. The result was so hilarious that it became a cult comedy saga.

James Bond

The 'James Bond' films have become such an iconic part of pop culture that they have inspired numerous parodies over the years. One notable example is the character of "Super Agent 86", who has been featured in both a classic 60s TV series starring Bernie Kopell, as well as a movie adaptation starring Steve Carell. This beloved character has captured audiences' hearts with its hilarious antics and clever nods to the spy genre.

Superman

The irreverent TV series 'Drawn Together' is another great example of a parody done right. The show cleverly takes classic and iconic animated characters from film and television and turns them on their heads by taking them to the extreme. The main character, "Captain Hero", is a hilarious parody of the iconic 'Superman' character.

Platoon

The Vietnam War has been the backdrop for several films, with so many exploring the theme that it was only a matter of time before a parody of the genre emerged. 'Tropic Thunder', starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr., is a hilarious comedy that parodies action movies.

Toy Story

'Toy Story' sparked our imagination about the secret lives of toys. Seth Rogen's 'Sausage Party' takes that premise to a new level by showing us how food in a supermarket comes to life after hours. With its raunchy and irreverent humor, this adult comedy turns the innocent Disney story on its head.
