What Wikipedia says

Mock-heroic, mock-epic or heroi-comic works are typically satires or parodies that mock the elevated style of common classical stereotypes of heroes and heroic literature. Typically, mock-heroic works either put a fool in the role of the hero or exaggerate the heroic qualities in relation to a trivial subject.
