* Ok, I know that's supposed to be an WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget reference, but how is any KID supposed to get that joke?
** How do you know that kids haven't seen the live action Film/InspectorGadget films, or even the original series? Also, who says the series is ''only'' for kids?
** I'm a tween, and I'm familiar with WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget. Kids today aren't as oblivious as most people think.

* How are any of the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' sequels considered bad? Seriously I thought they broke {{Sequelitis}} and were really good. WTF is their problem?

* Why is creator Kevin Shinick in each skit? He's not even good at changing his voice; you can clearly tell it's always the same guy!
** RuleOfFunny?
** Maybe to save a little bit of money in the budget?
** He likes the sound of his own voice?
** It seems that the animators initially do all of the voices for their shorts before they choose which to use for the show, and then redub with professional voice actors. It is possible that they sometimes keep their own voices to save time, or because of a lack of it to find more voices.
** I thought he does it so the sketches of each episode have a subtle link.
*** How is that subtle?
** My guess is that he thinks he's a master impressionist and the show is too cheap and/or lazy to get more voices. They use Rachel Ramas a lot, too, and she's not particularly good at disguising her voice either.

* On "Once Upon A Toon", anyone else disappointed that no one reprise their roles? Jeff Bennett isn't that difficult to get.
** They were probably just too lazy to ask them. I mean, Creator/TomKenny does a ton of work for Cartoon Network, he probably would've agreed to do the Ice King in the "Avenger Time" sketch if they asked.

* Have any the creators seen Naruto? The only real jab at Naruto was that the best fights happen off screen which isn't correct at all I mean If there's one thing they could make fun of it's the constant flashbacks and this is coming from a Naruto fanboy.

!!For the [[Magazine]]:
* This troper's father once said that "Mad Magazine is for kids", yet they ran articles like "Ok I cut it now what to do with it by Lorena Bobbit" and "Playboy Playmate Rejects", plus the magazine got noticeably more vulgar in the late 90's, aaaand there's a reason why "Madkids" existed. So the question is, is Mad Magazine for kids or not despite the added vulgar content.
