Take That/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** Liane Cartman, is a real-life Take That at Trey Parker's ex-fiance, who cheated on him. Liane Cartman is often described as a "slut" and a "crackwhore." Parker had previously made a similar Take That in ''[[Cannibal the Musical]]'' by naming an unfaithful horse "Liane."

** The show leveled a Take That at the entire concept of celebrity guest appearances, most notably by having George Clooney provide the barks for a gay dog as his only contribution. Clooney apparently took it in good humor and was granted an actual speaking cameo in the film.

** While Parker and Stone love to poke fun at religions from Catholicism, [[N-Word Privileges|Judaism]], Mormons etc. You often get a balanced view of idiosyncrasies for that religion offset by practitioners being pretty decent. When it comes to Scientology on the other hand, they tend to up their Take Thats toward the celebrity followers as well as the teachings.

*** When telling the story of Scientology, they play it entirely straight and the [[Take That]] is actually them [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer|adding the caption at the bottom that this is what Scientology actually believe.]]

*** That would be an installment of the "Wheel of Morality", which [[Executive Meddling|network executives mandated]] be included to "add educational content to [[Take That|what would otherwise be an entirely entertaining show]]". Yakko would always ask this question, and Dot and Wakko's responses would always be some form of [[Take That]]

**** Interestingly, there was only one scenario where this trope was averted with the "Wheel of Morality." The moral was: "Brush your teeth after every meal." Furthermore, Yakko added "This moral brought to you by the American Dental Association."

** Their [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of Jerry Lewis, whom the Warner Bros. keep telling to shut up.

*** This was more of an [[Affectionate Parody]] as one of the head writers (who also did the voice of Lewis's lampoon) has gone on record as calling him one of the funniest men in the world.

** One episode had a computer being booted up and had the faux loading message "Matrix good — Sequels: not so good", obviously a dig at ''the [[The Matrix|Matrix]]'' films.

** Another episode dealt with a girl named [[Dora the Explorer|Dora]], who Grim said reminded him of something. He went on to say she reminded him of "his favorite program" which Billy describes as "Is it that one about the little girl who wanders around the jungle [[Free-Range Children|with no parental supervision]], avoiding crises and conversing with the local wildlife with the aid of her foreign language-speaking monkey?"

*** Didn't Dora turn out to be Pandora who had an evil plot to trick Mandy into opening her lunchbox and destroying the world?

* Berry's debut episode in ''[[Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' takes a dump on shippers. A photo album of Berry and Bloo's "moments"? The fact Berry is [[Yandere|completely delusional]]? ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' fanfics where the titular characters are paired with the Rowdyruff boys must have ''really'' annoyed the creator...

* [[American Dad (Animation)|"Tell your father I'll be gone all night. Man, these hours are brutal. No wonder those doctors on Scrubs don't have time to be funny."]] (with Klaus, the show's [[Butt Monkey|equivalent to Meg on "Family Guy"]], pitifully commenting that he likes ''Scrubs'').

** Another episode had Steve and Roger talking (metaphorically) about Steve's place in the family. He used to be "first class" now he was back in coach between two fat ladies from Toronto. Roger responds "Blue Jays fans are the worst!" They then go on to make fun of Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox fans.

* 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,] but when you realize that there pretty much just demonizing themselves, the [[Take That]] is even sweeter.
