It's not a parody. It's a homage

it's not a hoe-midge, it's an oh-marge

It's not an oh-marge, it's ho-mahg-ee.

It's not a homage, it's just the exact same joke.

How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.

quoth wikipedia: "A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation." ... "The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said 'parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.'"

yeah, and that’s not a parody.
