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.

A bit older than the Orville, Red Dwarf was the original satire of Star Trek turned into a legitimate Sci-Fi show a la Star Trek.
I enjoyed it a lot, at least the original seasons. Never watched the later ones they added thirty or so years later.
I've seen season 10 and 11 and they weren't half bad! IMO better than 7 or 8 which felt a little forced and definitely better than the Unspeakable Season.
My advice is to watch it up until they conclude the Ouroborous / OurRobOrRoss thing, and consider that the end (S7E3 I think).
.....but what is it?
