parody

A satirical or ironic imitation of a celebrity; politician; famous piece of art, literature, film, or other creative work; or the style of the creative person is exaggerated for comic effect or satire.

If a piece using parody is published under opinion or as a creative work of fiction, it should be clearly marked as a parody or satire, or both, for the sake of those audience members who may not be able to easily parse tone, exaggeration, or fiction.
