If Bioware embraced the memes and bugs and made a completely intentional comedic game. All the guns would be held backwards, goofy grins and bugged eyes everywhere, characters reacting to disturbing situations in ridiculous, meme-worthy fashion, bodies auto-t-posing and flying through ceilings, and frequent slap fights (not limited to Krogans).
I actually enjoyed all of the memes and YouTube videos - and if Bioware could intentionally recreate this in a game where all of this is happening second by second, I'd enjoy that. The only thing I'd limit is cheap deaths - ie. shooting through walls, obviously.
This could create an entirely new genre, comedy Meme-RPGs.

I'm serious - why can't there be a comedy genre for games - all the other genres are covered.

For the sake of all that is holy, do not ever as much as look at another BioWare's game. I beg you.

Also, you would have to finish MEA in order to laugh at all the memes and references. South Park is a good example. I'm thinking more of a company intentionally making a bad game that is hilarious to play and marketing it as such "2017's worst game of the year" "3/10 metacritic average!" The joy would be in trying to find the most hilarious bugs in the game and posting them. A game that keeps on giving - similar to Andromeda in a way, but intentionally this time. |

I think the terms you're looking for is parody. Or satire.
And frankly, games with a mix of self-aware satire can be some of the most entertaining. See: Metal Gear. Or even Citadel.
A full on parody game would be overkill I think. But an ME game that takes the piss once in a while might be a very fun thing indeed.

To be honest, I think Spaceballs is a bit overrated. If I was going to aim for parody, I'd rather go for something like Galaxy Quest, since beneath all the jokes there's a legit good movie. |

Of course factoring the Galaxy Quest mention was not done, but what can you expect from a gentleman of the exquisite tastes who prefers Spaceballs... |
