To summarize, parodies show why those things being parodied are dumb, while self awareness is embracing the tropes while not taking itself seriously. Which answers my question.

I watched the original Scream years after seeing Scary Movie, and realized Scary Movie is just Scream on cocaine. A lot of the jokes are the same or just slightly different.

What's the line between being self aware and a parody?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were originally a parody of Daredevil. I think they have surpassed it in popularity.

Weirdly enough, the commercials are the things that trigger my nostalgia the most.
