Do Popular Threads Incite Forum Members to Make Parody Threads?

[.Sev]

Parody threads are a serious issue, playing heavily on today's popular/unpopular threads. The ones in my Af forum anyway. Many members decry such threads for presenting members with an unrealistic view of what threads should be, and some even claim that users like Eris were trolls bent on forum conquest because the threads of the day presented such an easy target. Discuss?

Well that all depends on what you mean by popular thread.

I guess, even though I didn't understand half of what you just said.
But sure, I guess.

The fact that this thread exists means that it happens more than normal.

Some people are probably just trying to get more threads achievement...

That. They either bored to death or resent of the nature of the OP that they parodied it to the extent which might start a flame war of sort. This will bait (intentionally or not) trolls, spammers and others just for kicks.

Main point here is everybody loves satire, one way or another.

Dude... I miss the days that McDoom would randomly pop out and make an hilarious parody thread.
AF is so boring without a parody here and there...

[Skylar1]

Making threads.

Serious business

That. ^ And to be honest I think AF needs parody threads just to stay alive, I mean we are losing really awesome members lately. >_>

[Ranshiin]

tl;dr?

Does Weird Al's parodies make the original songs less enjoyable or less famous/popular in anyway? Not really, in a weird way it makes the original songs a little bit more popular/famous because folks hear the parody and either want to hear the original again or for the first time. As for the parody thread....I think in time it may take the same course of action, for just force people to become more creative.

[Skilero]

I think so.

Parody threads are easy ways to get reputation on the forums.

 

Exhibit A:

 

Given a chance, who in AF would you have a nightmare about dating tonight?

We know that in AF, you always come across with gals and guys, and somehow, made friends with some because you really want to date them in your nightmares with anime girls. Of you mudkips fell in love at first sight upon the realization of a signature or profile picture. Others gradually fell into an unlhealthy obsession. Whatever the case, the feeling of urge of dating them in your nightmares about anime dating everyday is undeniable, and some may say that their life wouldn't be worth living if they would not date them in their nightmares about anime dating within a day--online. So to make this rather long introduction short, I would like to know if Given a chance, who in AF would you have a nightmare about anime dating tonight?

To further enhance the awesome, everyone is encouraged to FIRE THEIR LAZAR! So, without further ado, let the twisted obsession begin.

Image from the introduction to chapter 246 of Bleach, I added coloring and cleaned it a bit (thankfully not much was needed). Notice the sun and little clouds.
