Parody films are essential to the rejuvenation of the genres they spoof. Genre films go in cycles. Once a genre can be parodies, it is ripe for renewal.
As such, parodies are a product of their time and are not meant to stand the "test of time". They are necessarily topical and timely. If they weren't they wouldn't be doing their job.
