Mockery & jokes

Works, people and organizations the brothers (or their guests) mock or mention in jest, 2007–2026 — 537 mockeries and 35 mentions in jest. None of these count in the canon: a mocking aside about a pop star or a joke "recommendation" is not an endorsement or a considered critique. Mocked = derision in the speaker's own voice, whatever the delivery (a straight-faced jab, a playful tease or a pure gag — the delivery is tagged on each line). In jest = a recommendation, critique or citation delivered as a joke, satire, parody, fiction or hypothetical, and mockery voiced in character (a satirical persona, a parody song, a story narrator), where the derision may belong to the persona rather than the speaker.
