Parody and Self Aware Games.

So, I noticed that Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts just came out and I?m thinking of adding it to my list of game to eventually get when there a good sale on steam. I?m just curious what people think of the whole semi-offshoot of games that are heavy on humor and parody the more mainstream games. Also if you do like the genre, is there anything that you would recommend?

Samples
? Grotesque Tactics
? Magicka
? Space Quest
? Monkey Island

How about Comic Jumper? That game was pretty damn funny.

And while this game sucked, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazzard is a parody of shooters.
