Parody

• Parody Imitates or mocks another work or type of
  literature. Like a caricature in art, parody in
  literature mimics a subject or a style. Its
  purpose may be to ridicule, to broaden
  understanding of, or to add insight to the
  original work.
• Parody uses humor to imitate a person, event, or
  serious work of literature by mocking in a
  nonsensical fashion or to criticize by clever
  duplication. The term is also used for a comic
  imitation of a serious poem, similar to cartoon
  caricature of a persons face.
