In the USA, yes. For example, the unanimous ruling in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. determined that parody is fair use, even if the parody is of a commercial nature:
> Held: 2 Live Crew's commercial parody may be a fair use within the meaning of § 107. Pp. 574-594.
The ruling states explicitly that commercial usage can be a determining factor in determining whether usage is fair or not, but that it does not in and of itself make the use "unfair".
