bur·lesque
n.
1. A literary or dramatic work that ridicules a subject either by presenting a solemn subject in an undignified style or an inconsequential subject in a dignified style. See synonyms at caricature.

2. A ludicrous or mocking imitation; a travesty: The antics of the defense attorneys turned the trial into a burlesque of justice.
Like when making fun of people in the Tea Party by letting you all know we aren’t witches. Which we are not. For reallys.
3. A variety show characterized by broad ribald comedy, dancing, and striptease.

v., -lesqued, -lesqu·ing, -lesques. and my new verb - lesqueotronned, which means it was burlesqued by a machine from the future that burlesques things.
v.tr.
To imitate mockingly or humorously: “always bringing junk . . . home, as if he were burlesquing his role as provider” (John Updike). That’s totally ME!
v.intr.
To use the methods or techniques of burlesque. Yep.
[From French, comical, from Italian burlesco, from burla, joke, probably from Spanish, from Vulgar Latin *burrula, diminutive of Late Latin burrae, nonsense, from burra, wool.]
