The newest film by [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], and the first one to concentrate of parodying a single franchise, rather than the usual system of parodying a [[Scary Movie|single genre]] or just parodying [[DisasterSeltzer Movieand (Film)Friedberg|everything they could]] [[EpicSeltzer Movieand (Film)Friedberg|think of]]. As usual, the film is pretty trope-heavy, with most of them being [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].
 
The film is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]] Saga, and was fairly successful at the box office, perhaps indicating that if there's one thing the public loves to mock more than [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], it's ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]''. While most critics panned the film overall, many of them noted that Jenn Proske's [[Dull Surprise|dull-eyed]] [[Kristen Stewart]] impression almost saves it. In early 2011, the film also earned the distinct honor of competing with ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' '''itself''' for ''four'' [[Golden Raspberry Awards]], including Worst Picture.
 
Not to be confused with [[Your Vampires Suck]]. ''Definitely'' not to be confused with the ''other'' Vampire parody, ''Suck: Vampires Rock''.
----
=== This film contains examples of: ===
* [[Batter Up]]/[[Off Withwith His Head]]: Edward, to <s> James</s> Jack.
* [[Beard of Sorrow]]
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: Pretty much every single trope to be played straight in the Twilight Saga is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in this.
Line 19:
{{quote| '''Becca's narration''': Oh, wait, you've already seen this bit.}}
* [[Camp Gay]]: The werewolves (except Jacob).
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Literally. Edward at one point is forced to juggle an apple, a bowling ball and a baby before he catches them in Becca's bag, with the baby landing in second place. [[Makes Just Asas Much Sense in Context]], to be honest.
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: The [[Black Eyed Peas]] joke was [[Actually Pretty Funny]] until the James expy spelled it out and deconstructed it.
* [[Deconstructive Parody]]: Of [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]].
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]]: Becca with Edward.
* [[Eating the Eye Candy]]: Jacob's first [[Shirtless Scene]].
* [[Emo Teen]]: Lampshaded constantly.
Line 41:
* [[Next Sunday AD]]
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: See [[Fan Service]] above.
* [[Parody Failure]]: The lampshade on Jacob's constant shirtlessness? The ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' movies already did that, several times.
* [[Parody Names]]: Everyone except Edward and Jacob.
* [[Protagonist Centred Morality]]: Edward's "keep Bella safe at all costs" attitude in ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' is parodied by giving him a tendency to actively put random people in harm's way every time Becca is threatened. ''Including Becca herself''.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: They obey multiple vampire 'rules', but only the ones that can be played for laughs at the time.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Some of them are actually chihuahuas...
