Lowest hanging fruit would suggest James Bond? The insane gadgetry, the dedication to Britishness, the utterly bonkers plot of the villain and "getting the girl" at the end were all mainstays of that type of film. Albeit turned up to 11 and taken in, as mentioned above, farcical directions.

It's far closer to Austin Powers. You can't parody suave James Bond with a no class street thug who spends most of the film in training, which Bond has never done on film. Or moping about his mom, Bond doesn't even have have a mom. Bond works for the British government, and he works alone.

And a parody is supposed to be funny.

A parody is supposed to be entertaining. Nowhere is it required to be funny.
