Parody threads, Yay or Nay?

[Eeezee]

How does ATOT feel about parodies? Let's get an actual consensus on this. I think they're usually worth a quick laugh.

oh come ON you all suck! Where's the fun banter and discussion?

that's the beauty of this forum...

Parody is fun as long as it is not out of control.

Parody threads were funny when people didn't try so hard to make them work or make 3 a day... or when you didn't have to go through 5 pages of threads to know what a person was talking about and when the original thread was pretty much just an OP getting made fun of for posting something stupid. Oh, and if you don't link to the original (even though, again, it should be popular enough that everyone knows) you automatically get -10/10.

They're funny some of the time, but there are a lot of crap parodies. I'm going with yay, they are certainly worth a quick laugh.

Most threads are screaming to get parodied. So you have to allow them.

 

[pontifex]

No... NO NO NO.

"MOST" are not screaming to get parodied.

MAYBE 3 posts all day long are screaming ot get 1 and only 1 parody.

90% of parody threads are horrible and just waste space and time. It's a shame that parodies are locked as an unwritten rule though; some are pretty funny.
