I don't know that most Wes Anderson parodies are horrible. I think his style is so specific that it's easy to parody fairly well. I'm sure there are terrible ones out there that have thankfully not crossed by eyes, but I'd say that making a Wes Anderson parody is pretty low on the complication scale for auteur…

As an Atari Jaguar owner from back in the day, I do recall that White Men Can't Jump was originally supposed to have much more graphic language but got truncated during the later stages, so it's very likely that a bunch of hidden characters got pulled before release.
