Parody science, sometimes called spoof science, is the act of mocking science in a satirical way. Science can be parodied for a purpose, ranging from social commentary and making political points, to humor for its own sake.
Parody science is different from science humor or from real science that happens to be humorous, in that parody science has little or no basis in real science.

Famous quotes containing the words parody and/or science:
“Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
