Like every title in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA 6 is expected to have a heavy dose of parody. Rockstar is renowned for a sense of satirical humor in its games, often mocking real-life things and people. Every car manufacturer in the Grand Theft Auto universe, for instance, has a real-life counterpart, and their in-game depictions are often satirical.
Fans on Reddit have come together to discuss the different things that Rockstar could or should parody in GTA 6. Some of these have been listed below.
Note: The ideas are based on a post from the r/gta6 subreddit.
5 top things that GTA 6 should parody
5) Food delivery services
Redditor Standard_Limit7862 suggested food delivery services as something GTA 6 should parody, and it seems quite apt. The upcoming game is taking place in the current day, so food delivery services should be commonplace. In fact, Rockstar could even allow you to make deliveries while working for one of these services.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City had pizza delivery missions where you could take the Pizza Boy scooter and deliver pizzas across town. Grand Theft Auto Online is expected to bring back a pizza delivery scooter as one of the drip-fed vehicles in Bottom Dollar Bounties.
4) Podcasts
Podcasts have been rising in popularity over the years and are surely expected to be something GTA 6 could parody. In fact, some of the most engaging satirical works from Rockstar have been the radio stations in the GTA games. The RJs, commercials, and even talk shows featured absurd, over-the-top humor that has since become a trademark of the series.
Many fans suggested that Rockstar bring in Theo Von to feature in a parody podcast of his own. With the departure of Lazlow Jones from Rockstar, this could indeed be a good idea for filling the gap.
3) OnlyFans
While the top-voted comment mentioned OnlyFans among other things, Ratbu came up with a great way for Rockstar to integrate this service into their game. The Redditor suggested that the GTA 6 version of this content subscription service should be named "WorshipMe."
This would not only be the perfect satirical name for its real-life counterpart but also act as a reference to GTA: San Andreas, where this was the cheat code for achieving maximum respect.
2) TikTok
Grand Theft Auto fans have come up with various names for a TikTok-like app in the upcoming game, and these are quite hilarious. The names suggested in the above comments seem to match up with Rockstar's sense of humor.
Notably, the second half of the GTA 6 trailer is mostly a mashup of several Instagram or TikTok-like reels. These could either be from Snapmatic, Rockstar's own parody of Instagram, or a new social media app based on TikTok.
1) Ridesharing apps
Ridesharing services could also make their way into GTA 6, with apps like Uber and Lyft being parodied. In fact, as Throbbing-Kielbasa-3 suggested, these could also provide missions an alternative to taxi services. Grand Theft Auto 5 and its online counterpart already have a phone-based taxi service where you can call for a cab from Downtown Cab Co. and even work for them through Taxi Work missions.
Meanwhile, GTA 4 is renowned for Roman's taxi service, which also featured some scripted missions. Since you can do missions for these taxi services in past games, it seems apt that these will be replaced by ridesharing apps instead in the next game.
