1. The joke characters you mention are not parodied characters of overpowered superheroes.

2. That translation is not official but rather fanon. Its literal translation is from a narrative perspective meaning, "did it really connect/do damage" to "it connected" while in the Viz (official English) translation, there is no text at all (meaning it is not actually supposed to be there).

3. Saitama did not actually take damage. His clothes are burnt or otherwise dirty from the rubble. Proof is how Saitama told Boros if he is "finished" since he "talks too much" after the punch. Saitama was also not only launched to the moon after Meteoric Burst (more powerful than a single punch, the first strike getting the same reaction from Saitama and being a punch itself plus more) but also come back to Earth after holding his breath in space as a burning man and yet still act as if nothing happened.

Overall, Saitama is still considered invincible for the time being even when taking attacks against Boros, who had their "Final move that destroys planets" punched back by Saitama with a "serious (not full power) punch". Therefore, Saitama has no known limit and canonically has no limit to his abilities, as intended by being a "parody character on overpowered superheroes."

Comparing Saitama to Goku, however, is simple. Saitama has no limit, and Goku keeps reaching new limits as he continues to fight. This means a fight between the two characters will last just a little longer each encounter or otherwise last forever in a cycle similar to Shinryu vs Chaos.
