Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
< Mad


For the animated series:

  • WTF is with all the Twilight jokes? Every freaking episode has yet another freaking Twilight joke. Are the writers closet Twilight fans? Are they so talentless that they can't come up with anything else?
    • Probably, they see so many jokes that could be made, they use each one.
    • It still doesn't excuse the fact that there are so many. I had to change the channel once because they had yet ANOTHER Twilight-mocking sketch coming up. It doesn't help that the series is no longer popular (no one seems to be blathering and ranting about it) and that no one seems to care anymore if another book comes out.
      • Acceptable Targets
      • This last, for sure. The "durr hurr Twilight" jokes are as much of a plague on pop culture these days as Twilight itself.
      • To me, it seems they hate it so much that simply making one parody is not enough.If they make just a bit of a parody of a show, they probably think its worthy to be onn their but since so many people hate Twilight these days, its no surprise if their encouraging you to hate it.
  • Why is creator Kevin Shinick in each skit? He's not even good at changing his voice; you can clearly tell it's always the same guy!
    • Rule of Funny?
    • Maybe to save a little bit of money in the budget?
    • He likes the sound of his own voice?
    • It seems that the animators intially do all of the voices for their shorts before they choose which to use for the show, and then redub with professional voice actors. It is possible that they sometimes keep their own voices to save time, or because of a lack of it to find more voices.
    • I thought he does it so the sketches of each episode have a subtle link.
  • Why did Dora kick the crap out of Jaden Smith for beating up Backpack? It's not her backpack anymore.
    • Officially Jaden said he was only borrowing it. And it's for a good laugh.
  • Why does Grey Delisle have to voice every female in the show? I love her but its almost the same prob as Kevin Shnick, there's only so many voices that she can do before it gets to be a problem.
    • Actually, almost all of the females are voiced by Rachel Ramras
    • During season one, Tara Strong and Julia Mc Ilvaine were part of the female cast, but they've since left (for now)
  • Does anyone understand the That's What She Said joke at the end of "The Clawfice"?
    • What was the joke?
    • At the end of the sketch, Magneto suddenly appeared, causing the cast of The Office to exclaim, "Oh, my gosh! It's Magneto!" Wolverine simply smiled to the camera and quipped, "That's what she said!"
    • That'd be a reference to Michael Scott's Catch Phrase.
    • Did he ever use it in a context that doesn't seem to contain any Accidental Innuendo? Did this scene include any Accidental Innuendo that I missed somehow?
