Quite a brilliant blending of varied cultural narratives across an array of levels. Beautifully complex blends of (at very least):
1) the narrative captured in the stories themselves
2) the narratives we construct around the individual actors and directors
3) the cultural eras associated with both of the above
Memes and popular culture are interesting to me, the cultural narratives that drive them more so. The manifestations (people are fond of calling them "memes" these days) are the conscious level, the narratives part of the collective subconscious.
One of those narratives manifests in a special kind of parody; as I see it it's sort of a reaction to the "extreme-ness" that millennials grew up with (think: 90's cereals and sat morning cartoons, polarizing political/cultural figures of the 90's, etc). Given enough prolonged exposure to an environment saturated by things espousing the 'extreme,' the natural response is to be wary of and mock the extreme.
This particular form of subconscious parody is captured consciously in the popularity of stuff like "Shit Girls Say"; if you're an ad type you might relate to http://fuckingcreatives.tumblr.com. And the above for the millenial yogaist. These personify the extremes of their respective personas, and their conscious popularity reflects the collective subconscious.
