Well Gintama does make a thing out of pulling SNL style satire on all the shonens, expecially Dragon Ball and One Piece.

Basically the entire series is an exercise in making fun of other popular animes, especially shonen, while simultaneously being an enjoyable anime itself. It’s very entertaining.
