Line 185:
* The last episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' before the 4 part finale was a retelling of the entire 3 seasons as a play, and consisted of a long chain of affectionate Take Thats at both their fans and [[Take That Me|themselves]].
** The July 2008 Comic Con ''Avatar'' panel included a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiUtbcpjd8A&feature=watch_response video] that took a good whack at overzealous [[Shipping]]. Though [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Zutara]] was the heaviest hit, [[Crack Pairing|CrackPairings]] Sokka/Toph and Azula/Aang get skewered, too, and—for that matter—a gentle pillow is tossed in the direction of [[Official Couple]] Katara/Aang, [[Adam and Eve Plot|concerning their relative "...inexperience."]]
** In the episode "Sokka's Master", Aang tries on a ridiculously elaborate [http://iroh.org/screencaps/ep44/ep44-116.png set of armor]{{Dead link}}, which he's unable to move in and falls backwards while he's still wearing it. The [[DVD Commentary]] confirms that this was a swing at the type of [[Rummage Sale Rejects|ridiculous]] and [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|impractical]] choices in character/costume design that the series creators don't exactly agree with.
*** Specifically, it was Mike and Bryan's response to Nickelodeon asking them to give Aang such a set of armor so they could use it in toys.
** "[[Calling Your Attacks|Sneak attacks don't work]] [[With Catlike Tread|if you yell it out loud]]."
Line 192:
** The episode "Nightmares And Daydreams" has Aang having a nightmare about being [[Dragon Ball|Goku.]]
* In an episode of ''[[My Dad the Rock Star]]'', Rock Zilla is upset that his never-before-mentioned rival, Max Hype has managed to get a reality show, despite Rock Zilla being a much better performer and singer. In addition to having a reality show, he has long black hair and is completely addled to the point that he apparently frequently gets stuck walking into walls or corners. No points for guessing who he's supposed to be a mean-spirited [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of.
* The [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[The Angry Beavers]]'' was axed because [https://web.archive.org/web/20130406012004/http://www.micahwright.com/downloads/networkslam.mp3 it explicitly slammed] [[Nickelodeon]]'s re-re-re-re-rerunning practices and would have exposed them to the [[Viewers are Morons|ignorant children]]. How many slots do you think ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' would take on Nick's current schedule if the episode did air?
* Speaking of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', SpongeBob had the episode "[http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/HVM4Q44uhyo/ KrabbyLand]", which was basically one long [[Take That]] at McDonald's.
* In one episode of ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', a citizen of Atlantis states that the diet of his people consists of crabs, starfish and the occasional underwater squirrel. Take a wild guess [[SpongeBob SquarePants|which show they're mocking]].
Line 247:
* In ''[[The Swan Princess]] 3'', Zelda mentions the names of three other works' villainesses during her [[Villain Song]] "Bad Days Ahead": "Move over, [[The Rescuers|Medusa]]; [[101 Dalmatians|Cruella]], get lost; take a hike, [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|Wicked Witch of the West]]!"
* Pretty much all of Ezekiel's plot in ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]'' is a Take That to ''[[Total Drama Comeback]]'', [[Big Name Fan|Kobold Necromancer]], and Ezekiel fans.
** Sierra's main purpose is to show how pathetic and nucking futs Cody's legion of fangirls are. You may think [http://antisierraclub.deviantart.com/ it backfired,]{{Dead link}} but when you realize that there pretty much just demonizing themselves, the [[Take That]] is even sweeter.
* In Walt Disney's ''[[Dumbo]]'', which was made during the infamous Disney Animators' Strike, there is a straw-man illustration of the striking employees represented by greedy clowns who want to try and ring the circus master for a raise. Not one of Uncle Walt's finest moments, but fortunately too lost on most audiences to be distracting.
** Also, when the Pink Elephants made an appearance in the show ''[[House of Mouse]]'', some of said Pink Elephants can actually be seen [[Winnie the Pooh|drinking out of a honey pot]] at one point.
