Movie examples include Spinal Tap, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Specials (starring Rob Lowe, very underrated). One profound example on TV in Britain that nobody has mentioned is "Brass Eye" - a series of 6 documentaries and one special. They are available on DVD and video and are totally worth a look.

Get the mockumentary mug.An Anti Semitic term that actually comes from the Yiddish word "maken, or "plague", it actually was a term coined as a intraracist term that Western Ashkenazi Jews used against Eastern Ashkenazi Jews.
"So, 'mocky' has essentially the same origins as 'sheeny'."
"Sort of, except for that 'sheeny' was a sarcastic use of 'sheine', as in 'sheine Yid' now becoming 'sheeny Yid'."
"Really?"
"'Mocky' was just an outright way of intraracistly calling other Jews 'plagues'.
"Wow! And here, the lantzmen are supposed to stick together."
"Have we ever really stuck together? We're in the Diaspora for God's sake."
"Literally! 😆"

Get the Mocking mug.The third book of the "Hunger Games" trilogy, written by Suzanne Collins, and released in August 2010. Many of the fans of the books series agree that this conclusion of the series, entitled "Mockingjay" was indeed a letdown. Reasons why include: (spoilers ahead)
1. Katniss is just not her normal, ass-kicking self. Instead, she is diluted to being a self-medicating zombie who hides in a closet all the time (no joke.)
2. Many of the characters I have grown to love over the past two books are suddenly killed off.
3. The conclusion (if it can even be called that) seemed rushed, unsatisfying and contradictory. When I closed the book after reading the final words, I felt almost cheated. This book just does not reach the level of awesome as the former 2 in the series.

Mockingjay is nothing like its predecessors, Hunger Games and Catching Fire. It was a major letdown.

Get the Mockologist mug.Also known as the Mockers these are ethereal beings who ensure that those who proudly boast will come un-done. Most often used in a sporting context i.e. if a fan proudly or arrogantly proclaims that their team will win then the Mockers take notice and ensure a loss for their team.
This may lead to appeasement of the Mocker Gods where fans will feign humility even going so far as to claim underdog status in an attempt not to anger the Mocker Gods.
Another strategy often employed is to try and fool the Mocker Gods, this is done by actively espousing the virtues and obvious superiority of the team not supported by the fan. This strategy however is fraught with difficulty as the Mockers are not easily fooled, and their ire will be quickly roused.

Appeasement: "This game is going to be a real struggle; there are even matchups all over the field it is not going to be the blow out that some expect." – Context: one team heavily favored over the other the supporter of the favored team does not wish to raise the ire of the Mocker Gods by espousing their true feelings.
Fool: "Surely Team X must now be considered favorites to win the Cup" – Context: in a tight contest, somebody may loudly proclaim this in the hope of stirring the Mocker Gods into action against the mentioned team.
