my dim understanding of these things indicates that the best way to avoid any potential legal hassle is for neither you nor anyone else to ever make any money off them at all
beyond that, I tend to agree that you wouldn't face any dire immediate jeopardy - and, in this kooky world, a smidgen of controversy is often 'leverageable' for future gain
but I advise against any disclaimers except the ones lawyers instruct you to include - the love of the story comes through quite clearly in your parodies and I think disclaimers tend to taint things with the disruptive whiff of apology
