What’s your favorite piece of media that acts a deconstruction of the genre/medium?

My personal favorite for flawed reasons is Madoka because I was there for the live reactions to the infamous episode and it was magical watching everyone lose their shit. It was also my re-introduction to anime after being shamed out of it for liking sailor moon as a kid.

Cabin In The Woods and Tucker and Dale vs Evil for horror

Discworld for fantasy

There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property.

I love discworld, especially the one about night guardsman.

I avoid horror movies but I’ll check those out.

From what I remember Tucker and Dale is very much a horror comedy, and Cabin in the Woods has a very strong comedy/post modern commentary thing going on. They’re both very different from conventional horror movies.
