A parody is a vulgar, exaggerated, or comic imitation of another work known to the public, through which the original work is ridiculed, even by small references to it. Broadly speaking, a parody is a sub-form of a satire: the story (the text or the image) is imitated in an ironic way. This can happen in a harmless as well as a corrosive way. The success of the parody will be greater the more famous the original and the parodied (magnified) elements are therefore more recognizable.
