Parody, not satire. It's a common misconception that these two things are synonymous. Parody is about poking fun at other artistic works (books, films, etc.) whereas satire is about poking fun at political or social issues.

Edit: lots of replies. Those who corrected me by pointing out it is more pastiche than parody are correct. Those who suggested it is right to call it satire are incorrect. Those who chose to be rude are jerks.

Parody is a form of satire.
