Other Parodies
One of the more famous Internet websites using the effects of Adobe Photoshop and other image-editing software revolves around the Sesame Street character "Bert."

Famous quotes containing the word parodies:
“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)
