How Does Parody Work?
Parody transforms an existing text or content without copying it exactly. It establishes a distance between the original content and the new interpretation. This distance makes the text both humorous and thought-provoking.
The aim of parody is to question the subject being addressed and to present it from a different angle. Therefore parody does not only entertain but also provokes thought.
