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.

Hate to break it to you, but Konosuba isn't a parody, it's just a comedy isekai.
My initial reaction to this response.
But then I checked on Anilist:
(Idk how to add images or gifs to a comment response so I'm just gonna tell you what it says)
Idk man. Anilist seems to think it is 94% Satire and 90% Parody.
Have you even seen what people write on anilist, MAL, etc.? Hell, even just social media in general. I don't trust the general polulace to understand nuanced differences like that
But, are tags crowdsourced? I believe only reviews and ratings are crowdsourced. Everything else is managed by the Anilist team, right?
I checked right now, but I can't really see an option to change the tags on a particular show... I checked on my smartphone via browser, so I might be wrong. Will check from my laptop in a bit.
Also, where did you get the information that it isn't a parody, if not from these sites?
Crunchyroll doesn't list it as a Parody, so you might be right. But they also don't have Parody as a genre, so that doesn't really hold any value.
Note: I'm having a genuine discussion. I don't want this to seem like a debate or an argument. It's just me and commenter OP having a normal conversation in a regular tone.
