There are countless parodies, spoofs, and standup bits of MJ over the years.
Some are just more mean/defamatory than others, and some are just all in good fun.

Let's post stuff here more along the lines of in good fun!

Remember when "Michael" was on the episode of MARTIN where he goes out to Hollywood :D

 
"There's something about you LaToya, that makes me want, to strangle you!"
 
In Monsters, Inc., Mike belts out his heartbreak ballad while seated alone under a spotlight, drenched in melodrama. For casual viewers, it’s simply a funny moment where the one-eyed monster embraces his inner diva. But for MJ fans, the staging feels very familiar.
That’s because Pixar recreated key visual elements from Michael Jackson’s original video:
  • The barstool Mike sits on mirrors the exact setup from MJ’s performance
  • The solitary spotlight and dark, minimal background echo the video’s intimate mood
  • The emotional delivery, exaggerated facial expressions and dramatic pauses, lovingly poke fun at the raw vulnerability MJ showed in the original
The resemblance is no accident. Pixar’s animators are known for meticulous attention to detail, and this homage is too precise to be coincidental.
Michael Jackson’s “She’s Out of My Life” is remembered as one of his most emotional performances, with MJ reportedly crying during some takes of the video. Pixar flips that emotional weight on its head by turning Mike’s sorrow into comedic exaggeration, transforming romantic heartbreak into the absurd pain of being dumped by a girlfriend who literally shaved him.
