if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff

It’s a parody
How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.

yeah, and that’s not a parody.
It’s not a parody. It’s a homage
it’s not a hoe-midge, it’s an oh-marge
It’s not an oh-marge, it’s ho-mahg-ee.
its not a ho, Marge. Gee, she’s a real person.
It’s not a homage, it’s just the exact same joke.
