Its also called a joke, like when somebody made fun of how I was a Michael Mann mark-whore (which didn't save ALI and MANHUNTER from average scores).
HOT FUZZ really is a great joke on the Hollywood action bullshit, and since you svsg have absolute disdain for it....one would have thought you would go for it.
To be fair, I didn't react correctly to your post. Sorry. I am falling out of my appreciation for spoof genre. Somewhere they tend to become as ridiculous as the movies they spoof. Was Grindhouse a tribute or spoof? And what will make it better than the actual b-movies it was based on? Same goes for Hot Fuzz.
