I’d say more of a parody. Very cleverly written and funny at the same time. My favourite has to be …

““I find the word to be grossly inappropriate and an unfitting addition to our society,” he said. “My son would be beaten severly for even thinking about using that word in my presence. I may just beat him anyway. Have you seen him?””
