That's always been true, to a degree - although the line may have wandered from "Fantasy Parody with satirical elements regarding our actual world" (a lot of the comedy developed from both hitting each other on the head) to the "parody of today with the means of fantasy writing".
The whole thing is becoming more steampunk, though...
