The newest film by SeltzerAndFriedberg, and the first one to concentrate of parodying a single franchise, rather than the usual system of parodying a [[Film/ScaryMovie single genre]] or just parodying [[Film/DisasterMovie everything they could]] [[Film/EpicMovie think of]]. As usual, the film is pretty trope-heavy, with most of them being {{lampshade|Hanging}}d.

As usual, the film is pretty trope-heavy, with most of them being {{lampshade|Hanging}}d.

The film is a parody of the Literature/{{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 SeltzerAndFriedberg, it's ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. While most critics panned the film overall, many of them noted that Jenn Proske's [[DullSurprise dull-eyed]] KristenStewart impression almost saves it. In early 2011, the film also earned the distinct honor of competing with ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' '''itself''' for ''four'' GoldenRaspberryAwards, including Worst Picture.

!!This film contains examples of:
* BatterUp[=/=]OffWithHisHead: Edward, to [[strike: James]] Jack.
* BetterThanABareBulb: Pretty much every single trope to be played straight in the Twilight Saga is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in this.
* BlatantLies: The trailers actually went so far as to ''make up acclaiming reviews'' by "reviewers" with {{punny name}}s such as "Oliver Klozeoff".
* BookEnds and/or {{Flashback}}: Like the ''Twilight'' films, the film starts with a scene from later on. Here, though, it's played for laughs.
-->'''Becca's narration''': Oh, wait, you've already seen this bit.
* CampGay: The werewolves (except Jacob).
* DeadBabyComedy: 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. MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext, to be honest.
* DontExplainTheJoke: The BlackEyedPeas joke was ActuallyPrettyFunny until the James expy spelled it out and deconstructed it.
* DeconstructiveParody: Of Literature/{{Twilight}}.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Jacob's first ShirtlessScene.
* EmoTeen: Lampshaded constantly.
* FakeAmerican: Jenn Proske, who plays Becca, is Canadian, [[http://independentfilmquarterly.net/online-exclusives/jenn-proske.html although]] her mother is American and she grew up in the US.
* FanDisservice
--> '''Edward''': The only thing that doesn't stop aging is your ass. [[{{Foreshadowing}} It gets pretty wrinkly down there...]]
* FanService:
** Lampshaded by Jacob.
-->'''Becca''': Why'd you take your shirt off?\\
'''Jacob''': It's in my contract ''[[AsideGlance [gives camera unimpressed look]]]''
** Played straight with [[FemaleGaze Edward's exposing scene]].
** Was there really any need for the camera to [[MaleGaze focus on Becca's body]] when she was wearing bondage gear?
* GrossUpCloseUp:
** When Edward uses [[ParodyNames Derric]] as a HumanShield, there are some [[{{Squick}} disturbing]] close-ups of his injuries.
** Edward's naked, 109-year-old butt. It takes up the entire frame. ''[[BeyondTheImpossible Twice]]''.
* HandOrObjectUnderwear: The infamous sparkly vampires of ''Twilight'' are parodied by Edward having a [[RuleOfFunny disco ball]] covering his, [[StealthPun um...]]
* KarmicDeath: At the end of the movie, a Jacob fangirl kills Edward, only to die by a vampirized-just-then Becca.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: SPF 500 sunscreen. It's the freakin' page picture.
* NextSundayAD
* NoFourthWall: See FanService above.
* ParodyFailure: The lampshade on Jacob's constant shirtlessness? The ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies already did that, several times.
* ParodyNames: Everyone except Edward and Jacob.
* ProtagonistCentredMorality: Edward's "keep Bella safe at all costs" attitude in ''Literature/{{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''.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They obey multiple vampire 'rules', but only the ones that can be played for laughs at the time.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Some of them are actually chihuahuas...
* RapeIsOKWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Becca with Edward.
* RuleOfFunny: The only reason why ''anything'' happens in this movie.
* ShoutOut:
** In addition to the entire plot being based off of the ''Twilight Saga'', there are also references to ''AliceInWonderland'', ''JerseyShore'', ''TheVampireDiaries'', ''TrueBlood'', ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' LadyGaga, and the BlackEyedPeas.
** The Team Edward vs. Team Jacob fight is a ShoutOut to ''Twilight'''s infamous FanDumb.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "Team Jacob, bitch!"
* WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere: Played for laughs.
* YouFailPhysicsForever: Again, played for laughs.
* YourVampiresSuck: ''Obviously''.
