| rdfs:comment | - A parody/satire and switch describes a shift in the story from being a parody/satire, to becoming a straight form of the subject of the parody/satire. The work may have begun humorously subverting tropes before playing them straight later on. This could have been intended from the beginning (which would make it a bait and switch) or it may have developed as the story continued. This could be a result of the story being an Indecisive Parody, where the line between parody and notparody was not very clear from the start. Compare Cerebus Syndrome. Examples of Satire and Switch include:

| abstract | - A parody/satire and switch describes a shift in the story from being a parody/satire, to becoming a straight form of the subject of the parody/satire. The work may have begun humorously subverting tropes before playing them straight later on. This could have been intended from the beginning (which would make it a bait and switch) or it may have developed as the story continued. This could be a result of the story being an Indecisive Parody, where the line between parody and notparody was not very clear from the start. This can also naturally result in a Misaimed Fandom as well as a Broken Base, due to fans having differing opinions on whether the shift was for the better. If the parody/satire initially served the purpose of making an intellectual point via critiquing and criticizing the subject of its parody/satire, the parody/satire shift can also result in a Broken Aesop. Compare Cerebus Syndrome. Examples of Satire and Switch include:
