"Improv Is Love" (2017), another comedy, is a brutal, concise sendup of the "do what you love" philosophy of life, in which an aspiring improv comedy dude (Matt Barats, who also wrote the short, which was directed by Doron Hagay) evades a family crisis to pursue his art.

Herrera's green triangle looks like a before-the-fact feminine riposte to Johns's sardonic sendup of painterly machismo.)

But the movies that she did direct endure, including "Ishtar," a loony, loopy blissout that stars Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman as two terrible, tuneless songwriter performers who accidentally end up in an adventure that crosses an old Bob Hope and Bing Crosby road movie with a blistering sendup of American empire-building.

After Alec Baldwin opened this week's show with a sendup of his rambling national-emergency declaration on Friday, the president responded bright and early Sunday morning on Twitter: It turns out "a man you can bait with a tweet," in Hillary Clinton's formulation, is also a man you can bait with a skit.

Ms. Withers — a founder of Harbor Stage Company who is probably best known for writing and performing the celebrity sendup "Matt & Ben," with her friend Mindy Kaling, before Ms. Kaling became a celebrity herself — is arguing for something that could only help the theater to thrive: robust criticism that's simultaneously more honest and more humane.

He wrote the screenplays for "Catch-22" (1970), an earnest but unwieldy adaptation, directed by Mr. Nichols, of Joseph Heller's corrosively comic antiwar novel; and for "Candy" (1968), which turned a novel by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg — a riotous sendup of "Candide" set during the sexual revolution — into a leaden and star-studded bomb.

A new Netflix show from creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, and showrunner Dan Lagana (Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous, an underrated one-season wonder), American Vandal quickly proves to be an effective and often laugh-out-loud funny sendup of the true-crime boom—and, as an added bonus, it's also a pretty engaging high school drama.

But that's not the case in 2019, when Pete's implicit quid pro quo offer to the Barbies comes off as a none-too-funny sendup of Hollywood's very real and harmful "casting couch" history of (typically male) executives wielding their power over ingénues looking to break into Hollywood, by offering them acting roles in exchange for sexual favors.

Try "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," a fiery caper that ends with one of the great catchphrases of all time; "Charlie Work," a kaleidoscopic single-shot sendup of "Birdman" that finds genius within an idiotic routine; "Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack," which takes going postal to a depraved new level; and "The Nightman Cometh," maybe the worst musical ever written.

Alessandrini's latest Broadway show, "Spamilton," a sendup of "Hamilton," opened in September.) In the original "Forbidden Broadway," Ms. Lyng impersonated a vituperative Patti LuPone regretting the loss of her role in the movie version of "Evita"; a bellowing Ethel Merman ("Curtain up, light the lights, and you better turn off all the mikes"); and other stars, including Lauren Bacall, Linda Ronstadt and Jennifer Holliday.

In the premiere, Sedaris's guests include Nick Kroll as a stringy-haired felon who joins her to make angel food ice cream cake (one of the episode's purer sketches), John Early as a particularly sardonic guest (in a very dry and funny sendup of talk show interviews), and Sedaris and Dinello's other Strangers with Candy co-creator Stephen Colbert as himself, but also her turtle sitter.

Mr. Henry, who won an Emmy Award with Leonard Stern for outstanding comedy writing on the series, tried to repeat his "Get Smart" triumph, creating two other spoofy sitcoms: "Captain Nice" (20143), starring William Daniels (who played Benjamin Braddock's father in "The Graduate") as a mild-mannered reluctant superhero, and "Quark" (1977), a "Star Trek" sendup with Richard Benjamin as the Kirkish captain of an intergalactic garbage scow.
