reading something tagged 'parody' when they're not(or at least, with little humor at it) are something like:


'hey, isn't that a waste of time?'

or should say, 'can't you put another another label instead?'


...

'tounge in my cheek' - did you mean 'tongue'? =P

'does't really know' - doesn't?

'I see you point' - your?

Anywho, good piece of advice! I loved that last line ('if not by the author, then by you'.)

This is kind of nice. I'm not sure exactly how I came onto this, but it's refreshing to see someone acknowledge that even bad parodies are made funny by their reviews. (Most of the time anyway.) On the other hand, I once wrote a serious "parody" of something that was originally funny, so I suppose rarely it can work both ways... Either that, or I'm just a total mood-killer. HUZZAH!
Anyway, good points. It's nice to have a reminder to just sit back and laugh.
