I guess it's only self-parody in the broad sense (ie. of art as a whole rather Duchamp particularly parodying himself), but is the Fountain found an alright illustration of the concept?--Pharos 01:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Technically it is not a parody at all according to Duchamp. He said it was about moving art into a conceptual rather than a physical realm or something like that. --Fastfission 02:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I could provide a picture I took that was a self-parody located here [1], but I think you guys might want something from a more well known artist than myself. --DucoNihilum 03:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Matt Groening

He often parodies himself in both The Simpsons and Futurama - probably whenever he mentions himself, or something he created, and that happens very often. Some examples:

  • In The Simsons, someone jumps off the cliff shouting - WHY DID THEY CANCEL FUTURAMA? -
  • At some store, Millhouse and Bart find Matt Graining who goes nuts when asked to give an autograph - Yes, I'll sign your doll. I like to give my autograph to anyone, anytime, anywhere. But why be happy with just an autograph? How about an original sketch or a snippet of my hair? Don't forget to pull on the beard; they say it's good luck!- Before that, Millhouse said something like - HERE'S MATT GROENING, THE CREATOR OF FUTURAMA!-
  • Futurama - Fry finds a Bart Simpson doll on a giant space traveling piece of garbage, and the doll says Eat my shorts.
  • so so much more..
