In my mind there are a lot of things that could be going on here... empowerment, by emulating someone with aparent power you then take on some of that power; irony, Dorothy is chock full of irony; personal enjoyment, they just like doing these things... it is how they "be"

Right, they use characterature (sp?) like the artist who drew Jimmy Durante always emphasizing his nose, which really wasn't as huge as he joked about.
But when a person adopts this stereotype, or characterature, it suffers from the copy machine effect - it gets bigger and more distorted.
