Line 45:
* [[Padding]]: ''Meet the Spartans''' total runtime is 86 minutes, but the actual movie (before the end credits) is between ''69-70 minutes''.
* [[Parody Failure]]: Sometimes, they make jokes that were present in the original source material. For example, the Wolverine parody in ''Epic Movie'' uses his middle claw to flip Edward the finger. This would be a valid parody of the character... if the real Wolverine didn't do the ''exact same thing'' in the first ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' movie.
* [[Parody Names]]: Not often, but they're there. <s>[[Juno]]</s> Juney, the [[The Chronicles of Narnia|White]] <s>[[The Chronicles of Narnia|Witch]]</s>]] Bitch, [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack]] <s>[[Pirates of the Caribbean|Sparrow]]</s>]] Swallows, etc.
* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]: In the [[Airplane!|Abrams, Zucker and Abrams]] style, but most of the time, they throw in near-exact replicas of scenes from other movies instead of jokes.
* [[Reclusive Artist]]: Other than the movies, we don't really know anything about these guys. All we have are two pictures circulating around the Internet, a couple of interviews, and some audio commentary on their movies' DVDs (which is apparently very cryptic and has almost nothing to do with their movie.)
