*** To me, it seems they hate it so much that simply making one parody is not enough.If they make just a bit of a parody of a show, they probably think its worthy to be onn their but since so many people hate Twilight these days, its no surprise if their encouraging you to hate it.

** It seems that the animators intially 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.

* 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.

* 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.

** MAD handles more adult content, for the most part, but there are often a good deal of jokes a child could understand (a lot of them end up in the book collections made for fans of the animated show). A lot of the media they parody are teenage to adult content. It's probably most suitable for ages thirteen and up.

** It still doesn't excuse the fact that there are so many. I had to change the channel once because they had yet ANOTHER Twilight-mocking sketch coming up. It doesn't help that the series is no longer popular (no one seems to be blathering and ranting about it) and that no one seems to care anymore if another book comes out.

*** This last, for sure. The "durr hurr Twilight" jokes are as much of a plague on pop culture these days as Twilight itself.

* Why does Grey Delisle have to voice every female in the show? I love her but its almost the same prob as Kevin Shnick, there's only so many voices that she can do before it gets to be a problem.
** Actually, almost all of the females are voiced by Rachel Ramras
** During season one, TaraStrong and Julia McIlvaine were part of the female cast, but they've since left (for now)
