10	-->-- '''{{Tagline}}'''
11
12	A 2010 film by Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, and the first one to concentrate on parodying a single franchise, rather than the usual system of parodying a single genre like ''Film/ScaryMovie'' or just parodying everything they could think of like ''Film/EpicMovie2007'' and ''Film/DisasterMovie2008''. As usual, the film is pretty trope-heavy, with most of them being {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d. It stars Creator/MattLanter, Jenn Proske and Creator/KenJeong.
13
14	The movie is a parody of ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', and got quite a bit of success at the box office, perhaps indicating that if there's one thing the public loves to mock more than Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, it's ''Twilight''. While most critics panned the film overall, many of them noted that Jenn Proske's [[DullSurprise dull-eyed]] Creator/KristenStewart impression almost saves it. In early 2011, the film also earned the distinct honor of competing with ''Twilight'' '''itself''' for ''four'' UsefulNotes/{{Golden Raspberry Award}}s, including Worst Picture.
15
16	Not to be confused with YourVampiresSuck. ''Definitely'' not to be confused with the ''other'' Vampire parody, ''Suck: Vampires Rock''.

18	----
19	!!This film contains examples of:
20
21	* AdvertisedExtra: Notice how "Music/LadyGaga" is on the cover of the movie itself (the page picture above). She (or rather an actress playing her) appears for a single throwaway joke ''that's actually in the trailer almost in its entirety''.
22	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Becca can rip her biologicial father's moustache off. It comes off in one piece, leaving behind a moustache-shaped injury.
23	* ArtisticLicensePhysics: PlayedForLaughs, with the vast majority of the jokes in the film not having any sort of logic behind the physics in the slapstick gags.
24	%%* BatterUp[=/=]OffWithHisHead: Edward, to [[strike: James]] Jack.
25	* BeardOfSorrow: Edward starts growing one after breaking up with Becca.
26	* BetterThanABareBulb: Pretty much every single trope to be played straight in the Twilight Saga is {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d in this.
27	* BlackComedy: 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.
28	* BlatantLies: The trailers actually went so far as to ''make up acclaiming reviews'' by "reviewers" with {{punny name}}s such as "Oliver Klozeoff".
29	* BookEnds and/or {{Flashback}}: Like the ''Twilight'' films, the film starts with a scene from later on. Here, though, it's played for laughs.
30	-->'''Becca's narration''': Oh, wait, you've already seen this bit.
31	** There's a hard zoom on Becca's mouth at the beginning and end.
32	* ButtMonkey:
33	** Becca's father. [[EpicFail The guy in a wheelchair can kick his ass.]]
34	** Becca herself. She gets violently picked on first day at school, gets bricks falling down on her when in her room and Jennifer throws a champange bottle in her face while screaming "bitch!"
35	* CampGay: All of the werewolves except Jacob. Being a Seltzer and Friedberg film, expect gay stereotypes to be in this film as well.
36	* CompressedAdaptation: The film covers both ''Twilight'' and ''New Moon'' in less than 80 minutes and mocks them relentlessly.
37	* {{Dominatrix}}: Becca dresses in this outfit at one point as a random gag some point in the film.
38	%%* EatingTheEyeCandy: Jacob's first ShirtlessScene.
39	* EmoTeen: Lampshaded constantly, as it mocks the fact that all the characters in the film are emos.
40	* FanDisservice
41	--> '''Edward''': The only thing that doesn't stop aging is your ass. [[{{Foreshadowing}} It gets pretty wrinkly down there...]]
42	* FanService:
43	** Lampshaded by Jacob.
44	-->'''Becca''': Why'd you take your shirt off?\
45	'''Jacob''': It's in my contract ''[[AsideGlance [gives camera unimpressed look]]]''
46	** Played straight with [[FemaleGaze Edward's exposing scene]].
47	** And [[MaleGaze Becca in the leather dominatrix outfit]].
48	%%* GangstaStyle: "I'm a killer!"
49	* GrossUpCloseUp:
50	** When Edward uses [[ParodyNames Derric]] as a HumanShield, there are some [[{{Squick}} disturbing]] close-ups of his injuries.
51	** Edward's naked, 109-year-old butt. It takes up the entire frame. ''Twice''.
52	* HammerSpace: Becca's backpack
53	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: The infamous sparkly vampires of ''Twilight'' are parodied by Edward having a [[RuleOfFunny disco ball]] covering his, [[StealthPun um...]]
54	* HowWeGotHere: The opening.
55	* KarmicDeath: At the end of the movie, a Jacob fangirl kills Edward, only to die by a vampirized-just-then Becca.
56	* KryptoniteProofSuit: The SPF 500 sunscreen, which all the vampires used to prevent them for dying in sunlight.
57	%%* NextSundayAD
58	%%* NoFourthWall: See FanService above.
59	* ParodyNames: As with Seltzer and Friedberg's other films, all the characters names were changed, with Edward and Jacob only having their last names changed.
60	* ProductPlacement: All over the place, though BlandNameProduct also comes up.
61	* 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. ''[[InsaneTrollLogic Including Becca herself]]''.
62	* RedundantParody: The constant lampshade on Jacob's constant shirtlessness? The ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies already did that, several times.
63	* RomanticVampireBoy: As with everything else parodied being PlayedForLaughs, as it is a parody of ''Twilight'' after all.
64	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They obey multiple vampire 'rules', but only the ones that can be played for laughs at the time.
65	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Some of them are actually chihuahuas...
66	* RuleOfFunny: The only reason why ''anything'' happens in this movie, with so many of the non-sequiturs, slapstick, and pop-culture references being shoehorned in for the sake of a joke.
67	* ShoutOut:
68	** In addition to the entire plot being based off of the first two parts of the ''Twilight Saga'', there are also references to ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', ''Series/JerseyShore'', ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', ''Series/TrueBlood'', ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', Music/LadyGaga, and Music/TheBlackEyedPeas.
69	** The Team Edward vs. Team Jacob fight is a ShoutOut to ''Twilight'''s infamous FanDumb.
70	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "Team Jacob, bitch!"
71	* VisualPun: When the Chinese takeout guy is sacrificed so Edward can get Becca out of there.
72	--> '''Edward:''' "Hurry! They'll be hungry again in half an hour!"
73	* WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere: Played for laughs, with a lot of the vampires all wanting to stereotypically suck on people's necks for their blood.
74	* YourVampiresSuck: This is literally stated in the film's title. Being a harsh parody of ''Twilight'', it's to be expected.
