Really? I thought if it was "so good" that people don't realize it's a parody, it loses the relevant protections against defamation and infringement on likeness rights/image/trademark/whatever.

If that were the case, then people could claim that any parody was "too good" to get it removed.

Parody must include a component of criticism or commentary. If it's just imitation, it's not fair use.
