Parody
The creators of Homestar Runner developed a game known as Peasant's Quest. The game is mostly a parody of the first King's Quest game, but also references the second through fourth games in the series. Peasant's Quest also somewhat references Black Cauldron. In this game, the "hero" is a peasant who swears revenge upon a mighty, rampaging dragon known as Trogdor (created by Strong Bad in the email "dragon") after Trogdor "burninates" his thatched roof cottage.

Famous quotes containing the word parody:
“Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
