Since it provides nothing new and is just making fun of common tropes in anime?

You know, writing good comedies/parodies actually requires a fair amount of work and effort. A good parody can actually be even more interesting than the subject it makes fun off (like SAO abridged)

Lazy is just thinking of a random subject, write one-line phrase and then click submit
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are actually really hard to write, because you need to differ from the thing you're making a parody off, without going to far off the main story, giving you a limited amount of writing freedom to make your parody come to life.

No, that's just stupid. Parody is a legit tool for writing, especially in comedy. It's not like most non-parody things provide 'anything new' either. Nothing new under the sun for the most part.
I probably regret this post by now.

FML One Punch Man is so lazy, like holy shit. No effort was put into it at all.

Of course not.

It seems that I have been proven wrong. I shall now take my leave and escape all my responsibilities as I think of new threads to make.

Meh... I think there's a place for them. I know some people who like them so there's definitely a community behind it. I necessarily don't think of it as lazy writing, I just think they have to write in a way to fill the niche.

Nah. I find them to be refreshing and funny as shit. It's not lazy writing if you are pointing this shit out. The way it has been done in anime has been brilliant...now if we were to expand and talk about cartoons like Teen Titans Go...then yeah you may have a point.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Well, that escalated quickly I guess.

OT: no, cause Gintama and One Punch Man are well written.

Really depends. If it's a real parody it can be good, but if it's the Gintama style of just referencing the fact that something exists (Hey, One Piece is real, isn't that funny? Hey, we know Space Battleship Yamato is a thing, isn't that funny?) then it's the anti thesis of humor.

I believe it depends on the execution. If it's a direct parody (say, Attack on Titan Junior High), then there probably wouldn't be any new jokes or nothing particularly discovered. But something like Gintama and others, which spoofs either a genre or serves as social satire, can explore various ideas.

I don't think parodies are lazy. In fact, parodies are difficult and can showcase a writer's skill. For example the creator of tenchi muyo made a parody of NGE called Dual!: parallel universe adventures. It was a funny show and an excellent parody of NGE.

No? I mean, as long as its actually good, its comedy. You must have no sense of humor if you don't like parodies. Hell, I even watch and lmao at parodies of shows and movies I absolutely love because I recognize that they have faults too and think its hilarious when those faults are made fun of.

No making something consistently funny is impressive to me since comedy is really hit and miss.

IMO look at SNL versus Dave Chappelle show, The Chappelle show is a much better product than SNL that rarely even gets a chuckle out of me but both are pretty similar in style.
