I don't think you're allowed to claim parody when you're making money from trading off the trademark.

People on YouTube do all the time. So do stand up comedians, books, blogs, reviewers, etc.

I mean I'm not a lawyer and still enjoy this crap no matter what the legality is. And honestly the "is it legal" fight is for the courtroom, not here.

You can sell a parody.

I think you can sell content that includes parody, but a product that is nothing but trading on someone else's business is likely to not stand up.
