1!!For the [[WesternAnimation/{{MAD}} animated series]]:
2* WTF is with all the Twilight jokes?
3** Probably, they see so many jokes that could be made, they use each one.
4** It still doesn't excuse the fact that there are so many.
5*** This last, for sure. Twilight jokes are as much of a plague on pop culture these days as Twilight itself.
6*** 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 on their but since so many people hate Twilight these days, its no surprise if their encouraging you to hate it.
7** It's MAD. Making fun of the current big thing is what they do.

10* Why did Dora kick the crap out of Jaden Smith for beating up Backpack? It's not her backpack anymore.
11** Officially Jaden said he was only borrowing it. And it's for a good laugh.
12** He was playing his character, Dre Parker from [[Film/{{TheKarateKid2010}} The Karate Kid]].
13* Why is Kirby blue?
14** Three words: '''[[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope Protection From Lawyers]]'''.
15** Speaking of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'', he was correctly colored pink in "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Icarus", why is that?
16
17* Does ''anyone'' understand the ThatsWhatSheSaid joke at the end of "The Clawfice"?
18** What was the joke?
19** At the end of the sketch, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} suddenly appeared, causing the cast of ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' to exclaim, "Oh, my gosh! It's Magneto!" ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} simply smiled to the camera and quipped, "That's what she said!"
20** That'd be a reference to Michael Scott's CatchPhrase.
21** Did he ever use it in a context that doesn't seem to contain any AccidentalInnuendo? Did this scene include any Accidental Innuendo that I missed somehow?
22*** It's a parody, so it naturally exaggerates certain things.
23** [[InsaneTrollLogic Magneto is Jewish. Jewish men are circumcised. She's saying there's a circumcised penis.]]
24
25* How are any of the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' sequels considered bad? Seriously I thought they broke {{Sequelitis}} and were really good. WTF is their problem?
26** While general consensus is that they're good, MAD is just doing a parody of them, like the magazine. MAD parodies pretty much everything, regardless if '''you''' or anyone else think it's funny or not.
27
28* From "Captain American't"...doesn't anyone else find it weird how Lady Gaga and Jack Black looked exactly the same 70 years ago? I know it's a MAD sketch, but seriously...
29
30* From "James Bond: Reply All"
31--> Bond: Go go gadget net!
32* Ok, I know that's supposed to be an ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' reference, but how is any KID supposed to get that joke?
33** How do you know that kids haven't seen the live action ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'' films, or even the original series? Also, who says the series is ''only'' for kids?
34** I'm a tween, and I'm familiar with ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget''. Kids today aren't as oblivious as most people think.
35** The same kids who were supposed to get all ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' references they've been making.
36
37* From "Garfield of Dreams", why doesn’t [[Creator/{{SethMacFarlane}} Seth MacFarlane]] bring up [[WesternAnimation/{{FamilyGuy}} Family Guy]] or [[Film/{{Ted}} Ted]]. Couldn’t any of his characters help Garfield and the comic strip characters?
38
39* Isn’t [[Characters/{{PokemonTheSeriesAshKetchum}} Ash]] too old to have a monster?
40
41!!For the Magazine:
42* Is Mad Magazine for kids or not despite the added vulgar content?
