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.

After many seasons, it turned out that Joss Whedon was secretly the Big Bad.
- Anyone know what's up with him?
  
  Last I remember hearing allegations from the Justice League team... Nothing further.
  
  He's made some of my favourite movies, including both Avengers 1 and 2, and Cabin in the Woods... So it was disheartening to hear such stuff about him.
