The popularity of the series inspired a number of parodies. Comedy Central hosted a satirical television series named "Straight Plan for the Gay Man", which featured four heterosexual men teaching homosexual men how to be more stereotypically straight, redecorating their homes with neon beer signs and teaching them about sports. "South Park" spoofed the show and its hosts in the episode "South Park Is Gay!", in which the protagonists learn that the Fab Five are actually evil Crab People trying to control the world by converting heterosexual men into metrosexuals.
