The BBC itself took a stab at the season finale of Doctor Who, which came to a rather shocking and confusing conclusion.
The BBC comedy podcast Dead Ringers is known for its pop culture parodies, but it did not hold back during its Doctor Who segment. At one point, the villain, who is only referred to as CGI Monster, asks the Doctor and his companion, "Do you think lazily-written mawkishness is going to scare me?" After his companion compliments him by saying that he "lifts everyone up by his example," the monster begins to die. "It worked, it died of cringe!" the companion exclaims. The segment then ends with the Doctor saying, "Laters, I'm going to regenerate into Billie Piper for clicks!"
