Definition of "parodic"

All gender is parodic in the sense that it is all imitative, but some forms are more parodic than others because that imitativeness is exposed.

2005, Moya Lloyd, Beyond Identity Politics: Feminism, Power and Politics, page 139

From this common background, the G author/redactor seems to have chosen to highlight the more parodic elements in the tradition, while muting the more serious or somber representation of Aesop's heroic end.

So even the pastiche one might expect to be the most parodic, the fiercest with the "target" author, turns into—at worse[sic]—an amusing exercise in self-congratulation, of Proust, by Proust.
