I dont know your parents, so i cant say. As a parent. a pretty tolerant one, my freindlyness or seriousness has nothing to do with it. Its disrepectful in most parents eyes.
Its not about unspoken rules, its a sign of respect, that moms and dads earn by their hard work, like sir or mrs. sort -of.
I would assume, they would tell you to cut it out.
Im not sure how old you are but it sounds like you live with them. If you persisted, personally, i wouldnt respond to you. I would only address you if you addressed me repectfully.
However, they might be the type to knock you upside your head.

the unspoken rule you speak of must be that of societies norms, in which case you would be looked at very oddly by the people around you. but it depends on the situation. for example if you walked into a crowded elevator and stood the entire time facing the people instead of the doors, you would be met by quite a few odd and uncomfortable looks the entire way up (or down). if you sat in a quiet but crowded waiting room, then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, jumped out of your seat and yelled whoo hoo, then sat back down like nothing happened, people near you would probably get up and move away, look at you strangely and suspiciously and continue to watch you nervously. in the case of your parents, i think both would be startled and taken off guard by this sudden boldness, your mom may smile uncomfortably and ignore it hoping it wouldn't happen again, your dad however, may ask you what the hell your trying to pull. this is really interesting, and if you try it i hope you will let us know what happened

braking the everyday rules are called Ethnomethodology in sociology, created by Garfinkel.nothing bad should be expected when you brake unspoken rules. reaction of people, especially parents, is different

This sounds to be more about why you need to challenge your parents by calling them by their first name.

unspoken rules need to be spoken. I hate when someone tells me " you should have known" Ive been told to keep secrets, then people get mad "of course you can tell your Fiance" then i tell her then its " i told you that in secrecy"
