The problem with parodies these days is that all they do is take one specific scene from one specific movie and then switch out the characters. Good parodies take elements of things and make fun of them. Good recent parodies have been Black Dynamite and Cabin in the Woods.

I don't know if I'd call "Our Robocop Remake" a parody. It's more, like. . .the original Robocop is a writing prompt and the film-makers are allowed to do whatever with it. Like, the scene where ED-209 is defeated for good, the script is flipped and we get flashbacks of ED-209's life.

It's riffing. Here's a baseline, do whatever you want with it. There are a lot of Jeff parodies, what I'm thinking of is a totally open remix.
