Galaxy Quest

Scream was incredible meta. It references plenty of slasher films and even has one character talking about the rules of slasher films.

While it's not exactly a parody, it does poke fun at its own genre a lot.

The Orville. Homage more than parody I'd say.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Criminally underrated

The Incredibles

Austin Powers was such a good spoof of the genre that it killed the genre it was spoofing (for a little while). It was also a great movie in its own right!

To this day I'll say "There you are!" And if someone asks if they know me, or if I was looking for them, or any number of things, I'll say, "No, but there you are! You're there!"

The Cabin in the Woods is pretty good. It tells an interesting story while still hitting its marks to be a "college kids getting picked off by the supernatural far from civilization" horror movie parody.

So a deconstruction / reconstruction shuffle. A work picking apart the tropes of a genre, making you question them... and then putting them back together in ways suited to a self-aware audience.

One Punch Man looks like a decent example. The premise is a rebuke of who-is-stronger anime, like the endless power-level treadmill of Dragonball Z. The main dude is stronger. Next question. And the next question is, well, what does a setting with assorted superheroes and supervillains look like, if there's some guy who is unbeatable 1v1, but is otherwise just some guy? Does society support him, after he's basically relegated to an occasional "come save our asses" phone call? How do other supers proceed with their equally-cliche motivations, when SSJ4 Goku showed up in episode one?

Shaun Of The Dead is definitely a reconstruction of zombie tropes - timed right at the crest of the 2000s zombie-movie revival. But Hot Fuzz is a little odd to mention here because it's actually three distinct genres. It goes from screwball comedy to murder mystery to blockbuster action without missing a beat. Ironically I'd say the weakest part is the screwball comedy at the beginning. It's very sedate compared to what it almost was: there's a deleted scene where Angel did Word-art banners for each department, ending on rainbow lettering reading "sexual assault." The opening we got is held-back to ease the later shifts in theme. And while each of these shifts is truly masterful, I'm not sure I'd call the movie as a whole a great example of anything it riffed on.

Really - does it fit any movie marathon that would unironically include Point Break?

A bit older than the Orville, Red Dwarf was the original satire of Star Trek turned into a legitimate Sci-Fi show a la Star Trek.

I enjoyed it a lot, at least the original seasons. Never watched the later ones they added thirty or so years later.

Glee. It started out as a parody of musicals and high school dramas in Season 1. Then went on to be a musical high school drama for the rest of the show.

The Simpsons started out as a parody of sitcoms and has since become the longest running sitcom.

The 1960s Batman was a campy satire of comics and itself influenced comic adaptations for decades after.

Pretty much every Mel Brooks movie

I'll add Kick Ass and Starship Troopers. Although very different movies I feel like they both satirize their respective genres to great dramatic effect and stand out as some of my favorites.

It's been a while since I watched it, but I think Kingsman fits that description.

Everybody is talking about movies so here's some books: Discworld by Terry Pratchett started as a parody of the fantasy genre but evolves into one of the richest fantasy worlds you'll even have the pleasure to read.

Discworld

Hot Fuzz is what I came here to suggest - it's the best ACWATNOBI (A Cop With A Theory No One Believes In) spoof/film ever.

I also think Cabin in the Woods did a great job balancing spoof (or at least meta) with actual horror.

James Bond. Ian Fleming wrote a series of novels parodying spy novels, and they've turned into one of the best spy movie franchises, with no hint of parody left.

The unbearable weight of massive talent, with Nic Cage.

Night & Day, with Tom Cruise.

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Starts fine and eventually becomes a horror. It's great.

This Is Spinal Tap.

Not Another Teen Movie

Starship Troopers

DO YOU APES WANNA LIVE FOREVER!?

I'm surprised The Big Lebowski hasn't been mentioned at all.

The Venture Bros is the only superhero adjacent anything I give a shit about. Greatest adult animation show ever. Making fun of comic books and old Hannah Barbara cartoons but better and more rich and consistent than any of them.

After many seasons, it turned out that Joss Whedon was secretly the Big Bad.

Can't believe Hot Fuzz hasn't been mentioned yet.

JFC in this thread: People who don't know what a parody is.

One Punch Man

Genre satire is different than political satire in that most people who make it often do so out of love for the genre not hated. In fact these works of media aren't nearly as funny if you aren't familiar with the tropes and story beats within a genre, so the audience also ends up being fans. The people who watch slasher parodies are the same people who enjoy slashers.

I like Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, a farcical noir film that is like a quilt made from the footage of a bunch of other films with original fabric connecting the pieces.

While it's not a direct parody I think The Nice Guys used and subverts a lot of 70s buddy cop tropes.

And after rewatching that trailer I found it refreshing to see it didn't spoil the story and didn't have any BWAAAAAAAAAH

Get Smart

This is such a quality question. But a lot of people are just naming their favorite movies in the comments.

What you want is Moore's Watchmen. It is a deconstruction and reconstruction of the Superhero as an American trope.

What I loved about HBO's continuation is that they focused on how white supremacy is intertwined with heroism, just as Moore wrote in his original IP.

Then you got the Zack Snyder movie which was mostly, "ooh, look at these people with powers fight crime". None of the impending doom of the fall of society from nuclear war and/or fascism, and how the heroes were pointless because they were the ones pushing forward this doom. "Who watches the Watchmen?" etc.
