A word for parody that is also a good example of the thing parodied
I have a friend who is having trouble remembering one word. I want her to remember something very specific and specific. What would you suggest. It was for a parody of X which is also a good example of X. For example a parody of westerns which is also a good western in its own right. Some comedy bands do parody of various genres of music that are also good examples of their genres. With a bit of vocabulary, he stumbled across this word in a review he read some time, has a decent vocabulary and we’ve been through the obvious : burlesque etc. Ermse says the exact meaning was something that was both a parody and a sincere example of the things that it’s parodying.
I obviously haven’t framed myself very well. What are examples of romantic comedy movies he gave us? Two songs from Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias is a parody. Yours and yours.
