What exactly constitutes a bannable 'parody' thread? A bait and switch title, or a one-off joke that goes nowhere?

So many threads on GAF often have vague or fun titles that seem to pass all the time.

Probably a bait-and-switch or a thread where the only joke is the title, yes. Vague or funny titles that are actually about something are often okay.

I enjoy overly specific threads about minutia to the point where it is essentially parody.

On another forum I once made a thread to discuss all the characters in video games that have too many arms (think Mortal Kombat Kintaro). Later I made a thread about the proliferation of blob-based characters in games (de Blob, A Boy and his Blob etc.).

I like reading parody threads tbh. I never really had a chance to make one tho. Unless you count the ET circumcision thread but that was more of a deep think question thread.

Whenever someone posts a thread about a specific person, I almost always wanna make a thread posting as said person:

"My brother is watching porn in the bed next to me and the volume is up full blast...:

etc etc

I kind of have the urge to do this...

Thread title: "gaf how many ghosts"

Subject text: "gaf I grew up in Farm with evry one and we all know there ghosts. Kids would say that there are ghosts a lot and the ghosts would say yes.

I was scared all time and ghosts would move things and shake and say names. Five ghosts at least but more.

but evruobe have lots of ghosts. Its true! So I Want to hear how many ghosts and where they loud and ghosts?

How many ghosts gaf?? "

It would be spelled worse than that, but my phone keeps spellchecking. But that's the gist of it. Then after the inevitable joking replies, I would post, " gaf stop. How many ghosts? "

Then just wing it from there.

'Sell me on baking bread' - I was thinking of making some bread from scratch. I did in the end and it turned out well! :)

I always wanted to make a thread about posting pictures with one dominant color, and do one color at a time every week, so that the title would be the color all in caps, and it would rotate the language used for the title so when I get to black it would be in Spanish.
