Metaparody

Metaparodyis a form of humor orliterary techniqueconsisting "parodying theparodyof the original ", sometimes to the degree that the viewer is unclear as to whichsubtextis genuine and which subtext parodic.^[1]The American literary criticGary Saul Morsonhas written extensively on the topic:^[2]

In texts of this type, each voice may be taken to be parodic of the other; readers are invited to entertain each of the resulting contradictory interpretations in potentially endless succession. In this sense such texts remain fundamentally open... readers may witness the alternation of statement and counterstatement, interpretation and antithetical interpretation, up to a conclusion which fails, often ostentatious, to resolve their hermeneutic perplexity.(Morson 1989)^[3]
