* [[Raised By Wolves]]: Parodied and subverted with El Oso. He ''was,'' technically, raised by bears, in that his whole life he followed around a family of bears that wanted nothing to do with him and tried with extreme failure to copy them. This included trying punching a beehive open to get the honey inside (and getting stung for his trouble), trying punching water in order to catch fish (and getting attacked by a fish for his trouble), and ''[[Epic Fail|trying to scratch his back on a tree like the others by punching a twig]]'' (and getting smashed by a fallen tree... inexplicably). The bears, incidentally, spend the whole time trying to get rid of him.
