Although the [[Word of God|official]] pronunciation for the company's name is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLXP0TZ8s0Q "deek"], it has become easy for one to joke about the fact that the name is one letter away from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHO84rOp8FQ sounding like "dick"]. "DIC" has come to be described as an acronym for ''"Do It Cheap"'', though in the early days, they worked with [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]] (they weren't nearly as cheap as [[Filmation]] as TMS was very '''expensive'''), only switching to studios like [[KKC and D Asia]], [[Saerom]] and [[Sei Young]] later on as [[Disney]] and later [[Warner Bros]] were giving TMS more money for their shows. As a result, the higher-quality shows of company's heyday in [[The Eighties]] (including ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'', ''[[Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors]]'', ''[[M.A.S.K.]]'', ''[[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats]]'', ''[[Dinosaucers]]'', and so on) would eventually give way to their unfortunately arguably better-remembered [[Dork Age]], particularly its cartoons based on the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (animation)|Super Mario Bros]]'' and ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' video games, which are also a frequent source in [[YouTube Poop]]. It is also rather infamous among the anime community for its [[Cut and Paste Translation|dub]] of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' (although in that case it is often a subject of [[Misblamed]] since the voices, dub script, and most of the editing was done by Optimum Productions).
They have also released [https://web.archive.org/web/20130816152005/http://cinemassacre.com/2011/04/01/super-mario-bros-super-show-dvd-menu-screen-review/ EasyPlay] DVDs in the late '90s, in which you can hear Inspector Gadget deliver an extremely long and [[Viewers are Morons|detailed]] lecture on how to use it. This is [[Justified Trope|somewhat justified]] since DVDs were still new at the time, though because you have to "move the glow" to the DiC logo and click on it, [[Fridge Logic|you already know how to use it anyway]].
