There’s a thread with a premise that is silly and misguided enough that I want to make fun of it. Is the correct place for that in the Pit (presumably with a link to the original)?
Well now that you’ve made us all curious, when you do start your pit thread, please link to it here.
Yes. If your intent is to make fun of other posters then the Pit is the right place. And you should include a link to the original.
Them’s the rulz.

This could be epic! I may just have to start hanging out in the pit more - if only it had some brighter wallpaper patterns.
Do you want the blue and black ones, or the white and gold ones.
Better hurry before there’s a pit thread for not having made the thread yet!
Sorry for the disappointment, but after writing it out, it wasn’t as funny as I’d hoped, so I round-filed it.
That’s a good way to get yourself pitted. Teasing us, is what it is.
Didya hear the one about the doper who left the teeming millions in suspense?
No, what?
Hey, waitaminute…
Waitaminnit… Somebody remind me: What was the rationale for the rule that parody threads go in the Pit?
(I am reminded of this classic parody thread (The Marmite Horror) that was posted in the Pit.)

And we are all together

That’s the case when a parody of a thread by another poster (or the comments of other posters in such a thread). Because you are basically ridiculing other posters, it properly goes in the Pit. (It’s also why a link is required, so people know what is going on.)
Other kinds of parodies don’t need to go in the Pit. They would probably go in MPSIMS (or if a literary work could go in Cafe Society).
Just because it was a parody of Lovecraft doesn’t mean it needed to go in the Pit. I would guess it was put in the Pit because the OP was Pitting Marmite.
