I become ashamed knowing these rich cultures are reduced to mere offensive one-dimension mockeries.

The entire town lies still under maroon light, except for the zombified ReDeads, undead mockeries of the people we once knew.

But Poe's Law is out in full force, so things that seem like obvious mockeries of the alt-right get taken for the real article as well.

I don't, long benumbed by such previous, now suddenly lesser, mockeries of sense and sensibility as the nine-figure hammer prices for a pretty good Modigliani, in 29, and a second-tier Picasso, that same year.

The cold open preceding the penultimate episode of this season of Saturday Night Live, an interview between Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump and Michael Che's Lester Holt, ranked as one of the show's most brutal mockeries of the president as it blasted through the political headlines of the last week.

"I don't think he has obviously attacked him in a while, but when the news came out that he was, like apparently, allegedly making physical mockeries of my father's war injuries ... I was deeply hurt by it," McCain, a host on ABC's "The View," told Politico's "Women Rule" podcast.

The Eagles of Manwë were created from the thought of Manwë and Yavanna. Yavanna also created the Ents, who were given sapience by Eru. Melkor instilled some semblance of free will into his mockeries of Eru Ilúvatar's creations (Orcs, mocking Elves and perhaps Men; Trolls, mocking Ents; and perhaps Dragons, mocking Eagles).

The statue was identified as Hoa Hakananai'a by islanders at the time it was removed, the British crew first recording the name in the form Hoa-haka-nana- ia or Hoa-haka-nama-ia. It has been variously translated from the Rapa Nui language to mean breaking wave, surfriding, surfing fellow or master wave- breaker; and lost or stolen friend, stolen friend or hidden friend or doing robberies/mockeries friend.

The pawn of so much dynastic maneuvering, Claude was short in stature and afflicted with scoliosis, which gave her a hunched back, while her husband was bigger and athletic. The successive pregnancies made her appear continuously plump, which drew mockeries at Court. Foreign ambassadors noted her "corpulence", claudication, the strabismus affecting her left eye, her small size, and her ugliness, but they acknowledged her good qualities.Michel Géoris: François Ier.

The Ents were shepherds of trees, their name coming from an Old English word for giant. Orcs and Trolls (made of stone) were evil creatures bred by Morgoth. They were not original creations but rather "mockeries" of the Children of Ilúvatar and Ents, since only Ilúvatar has the ability to give conscious life to things. The precise origins of Orcs and Trolls are unclear, as Tolkien considered various possibilities and sometimes changed his mind, leaving several inconsistent accounts.

Installing TV programs and other projects as mockeries of well-known existing formats is part of Schlingensief's methodology. In another show broadcast in Germany, Freakstars 3000, he set up a talent cast show where all candidates were mentally handicapped. In the theatre project Quiz 3000 (the '3000' was a recurring trademark of Schlingensief), he mocked the show Who wants to be a millionaire?, using questions like "Please sort the following concentration camps from north to south".

The name has been under evolution, as the scribes and officials of the kingdom have been of Hungarian or German origin. The name has also been a target for mockeries from the officials of Orava County, which harbored negative stance to the village's owners, the house of Platthy originally from the Liptov County. This conflict of nobility has been a cause of many historical events which ultimately gave shape to the realities present in the contemporary towns and villages located in Orava Basin.

The ministry later dropped its plans but the dispute fuelled the album sales and Hipodil suddenly found themselves among the best-selling and most radio played acts in Bulgaria. The album's opening track, song about Gojko Mitić, "Bate Gojko" ("Big Brother Gojko") rocketed to the top of Bulgarian airplay charts and was among the few Hipodil songs to have a video clip. The first ever instrumental track of Hipodil is also on this record, "Otnesen!" ("Scatter-Brained") and a dose of the traditional mockeries with Bulgarian celebrities.

"The judicial process and the democratic process in Russia," wrote Kasparov, "are both elaborate mockeries created to distract the citizenry at home and to help Western leaders avoid confronting the awkward fact that Russia has returned to a police state". Still, Kasparov felt that whatever had caused the Kirov prosecutor's about-face, "my optimism tells me it was a positive sign. After more than 13 years of predictable repression under Putin, anything different is good." Kasparov maintains a summer home in the Croatian city of Makarska.

Here, Baena invokes both Jewish stereotypes and courtly distinctions of high and low classes in a way that can be perceived to mock most obviously, himself, but to a degree the court itself. One of the privileges of Baena’s position as both an insider and an outsider in Juan II’s court was to use his position, not only, to subvert his own past through jokes but also to subvert the court reality through caricatures, mockeries, and impersonations that ultimately led to periods out of the king’s favor.

Abdelrahman bin Ibrahim al-Munif () known by his nickname Abdelrahman Munif () was a Saudi Arabian novelist, short story writer, memoirist, journalist, thinker, and cultural critic. He is considered one of the most significant modern Saudi authors and one of the best in the Arabic language of the 20th century. His novels include strong political elements as well as mockeries of the Middle Eastern elite classes. His work so offended the rulers of Saudi Arabia that many of his books were banned and his Saudi citizenship revoked.

It was among the few Hipodil tracks to have a video. The next song from the album to have a video was "D'ska", which however failed to repeat "Bate Gojko"'s success. These two tracks sound more mainstream and ska-orientated than the other stuff in the record, which is basically harder and more aggressive. As usual, Hipodil make a lot of funny parodies and mockeries, targeted at other Bulgarian pop acts like Argirov Brothers, Marius Kurkinski and Irina Florin and their songs in "Tintiri- mintiri".

Viz is a popular British adult comic magazine founded in 1979 by Chris Donald. It parodies British comics of the post-war period, notably The Beano and The Dandy, but with vulgar language, toilet humour, black comedy, surreal humour and generally sexual or violent storylines. It also sends up tabloid newspapers, with mockeries of articles and letters pages. It features parody competitions and advertisements for overpriced 'limited edition' tat, as well as obsessions with half-forgotten kitsch celebrities from the 1960s to the 1980s, such as Shakin' Stevens and Rodney Bewes.

Xenophon has long been associated with the opposition to the Athenian democracy of his time, of which he saw the shortcomings and the ultimate defeat to the Spartan oligarchic power.Gray, Xenophon, page 19 (preface): "Xenophon has been called undemocratic in more contexts than can be mentioned." Although Xenophon seems to prefer oligarchy, or at least the aristocracy, especially in light of his associations with Sparta, none of his works puts a major focus on attacking democracy. But there are definitely some mockeries or criticisms here and there, for instance in the Anabasis, when deliberations are intimidated by cries of "pelt" if a speaker says something others disagree with.

Six absolutely different people appear in a strange place. Player Gleb who has lost everything that had, including the life; woman-killer Violetta killed during performance of "order"; "grandfather" Igor killed by the young soldier for mockeries; addict Ekstazi who has died of overdose of drugs; the bride who has found the groom with the mistress and shot them (and); Oleg who has left the girl which has died at the time of delivery, and being drunk running on the car in a tree. The archangel explains to them that all of them have been pulled out from a reality in last second before… Henceforth they — «angels on the contract» to which the chance to correct the life if they carry out all tasks of the Archangel on good making in harm correction is given. They can interfere with a current course of events to correct critical situations and to rescue people.

Despite some darker tunes and more depressive lyrics, the band stayed true to their mix of puns, mockery and parodies. Of course, the album has enough songs of Hipodil's trademark party-oriented, sex & alcohol-based lyrics and a lot of mockeries, especially with the gay society in "Jenite sa za pederasi" (Women Are for Gays) and with the then-popular Bulgarian pop duet Doni & Momchil in "Moni i Domchil" (the song begins with a Slayer riff after the intro part, which is a parody of the Doni & Momchil song "Umoreni krila"). In "Jenite sa za pederasti", there is a motif from the Judas Priest's anthem "Breaking the Law", expressively added in honour of the British band's frontman Rob Halford. "Hipodili" (Hipodils) was inspired by the mass disorder at a Hipodil's concert in Varna in 1993, during the Alkoholen delirium tour, when all band members along with some people from the audience were arrested.
