An Allusion is anything which is a wink and a nod to something else. The amount of seriousness has nothing to do with it.

Examples:
 * Nearly everything and everyone in Venture Bros is an allusion to everything and everyone in Jonny Quest.
 * "Running Man'' has several allusions
 * The game show format
 * "Cadre Cola" is an allusion to Coke or Pepsi cola, more so Coke as both have initials C C.
 * The Host, Damon Killian, is an Allusion to his actor, Richard Dawson's, run as host of the game show ''Family Feud"

As you can see, one is a parody, but the other is not. Allusions are not tied to any one theme. They are meant to remind, hint, or wink at something similar.
