Line 161:
* A ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' sketch parodying ''Into the Blue'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] this, with creator [[Seth Green]] explaining that [[Animation Lead Time|it was written before the movie came out]] and that they could only make the parody based on their guesses of what the movie would be like. He goes on to state he's sure that ''[[Into the Blue]]'' by now will be a complete success and received several Academy Award nominations.
** The skit runs thus:
{{quote|'''Paul Walker''': We're going to have to go... ''[[Title Drop|Into The Blue!]]''
'''Jessica Alba''': Into the blue?
'''Paul Walker''': Into the '''blue'''
...
'''Jessica Alba''': I'm in a ''bikini!''
'''Paul Walker''': I do ''lots'' of situps... }}
* Most Western Animation parodies of Anime seem to fall into this. Many draw from extremely small reference pools, and are done by people that seem to fall into one of three camps: saw half an episode of ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', saw two minutes of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', or has some vague memories of watching ''[[Speed Racer]]''. If they're really, really, really on the ball, they might get so edgy and modern as to crack jokes about [[Dragonball Z|powering up for three months and yelling while looking constipated]].
