Airplane! springs immediately to mind. How many people even remember Airport, or that it was even a spoof of same and not just a silly comedy set on a plane?

And I'm sure Chris Evans and his whipped cream bikini from Not Another Teen Movie is more fondly remembered than the original scene (involving an actual woman) from Varsity Blues. I know I do.

I remember seeing that girl with the whipped cream bikini when I was little and never knew what it was from.

And anyway I guess Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote almost counts, in a different way. It started as a parody of other chase cartoons where the villain was constantly trying to catch a smarter prey. They were super popular at the time so they just made the most over the top ridiculous version as a parody but people just liked it anyway.

In Japan, especially among older people, HnK is much more well known. If I talk to older Japanese people about anime, they know Astro Boy, Doraemon, Shin Chan, and HnK, maybe Dragon Ball

Airplane! definitely outlasted.

I know more than a few people who never heard MJ's "Smooth Criminal."

Airplane!/Airport is all that comes to mind.

I think in that case though there's the additional element that while Airplane! spoofs primarily Airport and Airport 1975. There were an additional 2 sequels in that series before Airplane! came about. And those sequels devolved into some truly embarrassingly garbage stuff. The series in and of itself became a parody of itself.
