No, I do not think so.

Ya know. I always kinda thought he was. If nothing else, 1941 does seem rather tongue and cheek

It is a comedy score.....

He did parody Jaws, though.

Definitely. And there are also a couple phrases throughout the score, that sound like they might be slightly parodying some of his other pieces. But then I could just be imagining things.

The Jaws cue heard in the film is lifted directly from Jaws. The original version Williams recorded for that scene is a bit more subtle.

Indeed!
