What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?

The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I'm curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

Season 1 leans into the comedy angle, Season 2 onwards is basically TNG. Seriously, its better than Discovery and Picard.

I didn't like discovery or Picard, felt way off from Trek to me, but strange new worlds is amazing imo. I'll check it out though, admittedly I never even gave it a chance.

Watch Picard Season 3, it's probably the best Trek I've seen since Deep Space Nine's final two seasons.
