parody thread
7 thumbs up


When, in a forum, an unwitty, incoherent, or unintelligent thread is posted by a forum member, another comes along posting a similar thread to point out the fallacy of the thread it partodies.

Remember that thread about Bevets on Fark.com, where they made a Bevets' Law? Yeah, this one at Urban Dictionary about a parody thread is a lot funnier.

[edit] Gravy in popular culture
In the sense of "absolutely fabulous, superb, excellent," see Raymond Carver's poem "Gravy" in the final section of A New Path to the Waterfall.
British rap artist MC Romeo released a single called "It's All Gravy" with Christina Milian in November 2002

Wavy Gravy is a peace activist and hippie clown associated with The Grateful Dead
Ten films appear on the Internet Movie Database with the word gravy in them. These are: Gravy (1916), Watery Gravy (1926), Pass the Gravy (1928), Brown Gravy (1929), Laughing Gravy (1931), The Gravy Train (1974), The Gravy Train (1990), The Gravy Train Goes East (1991), One Foot in the Gravy (2001), Groovy Gravy: Making the Scene in 'A Guy Thing' (2003)[1]
According to the UK football show Soccer AM "Northern boys love gravy" [2]
One of the Title characters of the cartoon show Ed, Edd n Eddy, Ed, has the catch phrase "Gravy!" which he spouts out even at the most innapropriate of times (which is very, very often on the show). This was parodied in one episode where Double-D mimiced Ed by saying 'Gravy' a lot and acting imbicilic. Ed replied, "Oh come on, Double-D, I don't say 'Gravy' all the time."
See also the idiom "gravy train", used to refer to any lucrative endeavour.
Grogan's House of Gravy, a skit in Blue Collar TV, in which Jeff Foxworthy operates a gravy resturant and throws gravy balls (water baloons filled with gravy) at the elderly
"Lumpy Gravy", the album by Frank Zappa

More recently, in African-American neighborhoods, gravy is slang for an attractive female.
Also used as slang for extra benefits in the idiom "everything else is gravy"
