There is a parody of Nobel Prize called Ig Nobel Prize

Ig Nobel Prizes are given every year for ten unusual or trivial achievements in science.

The name 'Ig Nobel' is a play on the words 'ignoble' and 'Nobel Prize'.

The prize was instituted in 1991 by Marc Abrahams, editor and co-founder of a science-based humour magazine Annals of Improbable Research.

It aims at recognising achievements that make people laugh and then make them think.

They are usually presented by a group of persons that includes Nobel Laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University's Sanders Theater.

The awards are sometimes seen as veiled criticism or even gentle satire.
