parody

An imitation of another work, often for comic effect.

This often includes mimicking a scene, line of dialogue, art style, or something else from another series. It might also be a general spoof or reference to another series or character.

Parodies and memes are closely related. Usually a parody is a one-off joke, while a meme is a joke that has become popular and has been imitated by many people.

Examples
