[[OhCrap Magical Molly will be on your TV]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck very soon in Fall 2012]]![[note]]actually 2013 due to some licensing issues![[/note]] Join [[TheLoad Molly Kelley]] and her friends [[DecoyProtagonist Sabrina Mickey]], [[BigEater Kacey Stevens]], [[CoolBigSis Maria "Mary" Thompson]] and [[DarkMagicalGirl Hilda Adams]] as they make their own special promise with [[MentorMascot Cubey]] ([[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens an alien from outer space!]]) to become magical girls!

3	Everyone hates Creator/FourKidsEntertainment. ''Everyone''. Well, ''almost'' everyone. Most people would cringe at the thought of Al Kahn[[note]]actually an outdated mindset since he's no longer a CEO[[/note]] getting his grubby hands on a fan-favorite "mature" series such as the innocent-looking ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', but did you ever think someone cared enough about the idea for it to happen?
4
5	''Magical Molly!'' is a hypothetical Creator/FourKidsEntertainment dubbed version of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. As you may know, 4Kids lives up to its name, and its most infamous anime dub jobs involve heavy amounts of {{Bowdlerization}} and CulturalTranslation in order to market the series to children. (See ''Manga/OnePiece''.) Not to mention that [[TheMerch they try to merchandise their series to hell and back]]. Sure, ''Madoka'' is [[NightmareFuel one of the darkest anime series of all time]], but [[ArtStyleDissonance the art style]] lends itself very well to a cute MagicalGirl show for young girls. Needless to say, 4Kids wouldn't dare waste such [[MoneyDearBoy enormous untapped marketing potential]].
6
7	The series also has a hypothetical Japanese GagDub, done by most of the original ''Madoka'' voice actors,[[note]]except Creator/ChiwaSaito as Homura, who is replaced with TogashiMisuzu,[[/note]] which is intended as a parody of the American dub, marketed towards the adult fans of the original ''Madoka''.
8
9	The idea started with the infamous [[https://memeworld.funnyjunk.com/pictures/If+4kids+got+their+hands+on+if+4kids+got+their_9c4bb5_4333459.png "Cake Planet"]] meme, but was later expanded upon by Ruto on [[http://magicalmollyofficial.tumblr.com/ Tumblr.]] While Ruto has since abandoned the concept, one fan, Xyuehong,[[note]]also known as Yatogami Shidou and [=FigureGunplaFan=],[[/note]] has taken it upon himself to document every single (thankfully) non-existent ''Magical Molly'' character, comic, episode and toy in existence, even opting for AdaptationExpansion. The level of devotion is rather impressive, but why someone would care enough about a (thankfully) imaginary [=4Kids=] dub to do so is beyond comprehension.

12	----
13	!!''Magical Molly!'' provides examples of:
14	* AudienceShift: Seeing that this is 4Kids, the "show" is now aimed at children.
15	* {{Bowdlerize}}: Everyone and everything in the series, as per 4Kids tradition. For example, just like in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', death here is replaced with the "Dark World".
16	* BloodlessCarnage: as seen in the [[https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.173349189517410.1073741844.154805564705106&type=3 7th Episode,]] in which [[spoiler: "Sabrina" (Sayaka) destroys the Shadow Witch (Elsa Maria)]].
17	* BoldInflation: Often, on his pages, Xyuehong uses ALL CAPITALS and occasionally '''BOLDING''' to emphasize a point.
18	* BrainBleach: Some of the 4Kids dub aspects are played so straight so as to likely invoke this with the reader. In fact, the writing and expansiveness of the concept suggests that the author actually ''wants'' ''Magical Molly!'' to exist; it is unknown whether this is true or not, but the very idea that someone out there actually ''wants'' that - even merely to drive home the point about franchise-ruining adaptations - is indeed BrainBleach.
19	* CulturalTranslation: Duh. For instance, the Tumblr page's image shows Madoka's (now "Molly's") onigiri edited into some weird orange-colored snack with a straw sticking out of it, which is allegedly [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries a jelly donut]].
20	* DubNameChange: [[RuleOfThree Everyone and everything in the series, as per 4Kids tradition]]. Madoka becomes "Molly Kelley", Homura becomes "Hilda Adams", etc. [[spoiler: Averted with the original series' Homura, who cameos in the Japanese dub.]]
21	* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The guns are completely uncensored, but they add their own beam effects. [[spoiler: Until Episode 10 to 11.]]
22	* GrowingTheBeard: In-universe example (well, kinda)[[note]]''Magical Molly!'' has a hypothetical profile as if it was a real anime dub[[/note]]. The "show" is noted to become darker and slightly better-received after Episode 6.
23	* InconsistentDub / FreudianSlip: [[http://ask-the-charas-of-magical-molly.tumblr.com/ Mami is called "Mami" instead of "Maria" in one ask blog post.]]
24	* InsaneTrollLogic: Apparently this whole thing got started in-universe when 4Kids tried to market teens and adults with shows like [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Friends with the Titans]] and [[Anime/KillLaKill ScissorLaScissor]], thinking it would stop [[PeripheryHatedom the Periphery Hatedom]].
25	* LighterAndSofter: [[OverlyLongGag Everyone and everything in the series, as per 4Kids tradition.]]
26	* LiveActionAdaptation: Not of the "show" itself, but in the alternate universe where ''Magical Molly!'' exists, there's [[http://anime-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Molly!_Merchandise_%26_Products#McDonald.27s_Happy_Meal_Toys apparently]] a live-action ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' movie directed by Creator/MNightShyamalan. [[Film/TheLastAirbender You all know what that means...]]
27	* TheMerch: [[http://anime-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Molly!_Merchandise_%26_Products Inevitable, seeing as it's 4Kids]], the licensor of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''Anime/YuGiOh''.[[note]]And the fact that they did this with ''Manga/OnePiece''.[[/note]] It even includes a '''UsefulNotes/McDonalds''' toy promotion.
28	* NeverSayDie: [[BrokenRecord Everyone and everything in the series, as per 4Kids tradition.]] Averted on the ask blog, where "Kacey" says how she wants to "kill all the witches", which shows [[ParodyFailure how tenuous a grasp the author has on the whole "4Kids parody" concept]].
29	* NoNameGiven: The witches don't have names here; instead, they're referred to as "the Dessert Witch", "the TV Witch", etc.
30	* OldShame: Xyuehong seems to be aware that his parody isn't doing everything right, and claims that it's too late to fix any mistakes but is trying to avert these mistakes with his other [=4Kids=] parodies.
31	* PetTheDog: Xyuehong seems to be doing this to Creator/FourKidsEntertainment itself, trying to paint ''Magical Molly!'' as a competent and well-received effort on their part. Still, no one likes the {{Dub Name Change}}s, bowdlerization and censorship. In fact, no one knows in what universe such a dub by 4Kids would be well-received in the first place.
32	* {{Retraux}}: Qualifies somewhat, seeing as the "show" is written in the style of mid-2000s 4Kids dubs. 4Kids hardly dubs anime anymore, let alone in the style they are infamous for.
33	* DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Again, in-universe (kinda). The first 6 episodes are just as terrible as one would expect a 4Kids ''Madoka'' dub to be.
34	* SpiritualSuccessor: To past 4Kids dub parodies, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5UfIRmkv28 "Casey And Friends"]](''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'') and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BTJ_1lWR8s "Breath Note"]] (''Manga/DeathNote''). The former was even referenced on the "show"'s Tumblr.
35	* StealthParody: Acts like one, but is clearly not meant to be taken seriously. Needless to say, [[http://www.asianfanfics.com/blog/view/487965 this hasn't stopped some fans]] [[http://magicalmollyofficial.tumblr.com/post/36473947168/why-are-you-ruining-madoka-magica-what-have-you-done from sounding the alarm.]]
36	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: For some reason, Xyuehong hasn't incorporated the "Cake Planet" meme into the "series".
37	* JustForFun/XMeetsY: ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' meets Creator/FourKidsEntertainment meets... ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''.
38
39	!!The Japanese dub provides examples of:
40	* AbridgedSeries: Dubbed in this style, but the episodes are full-length.
41	* [[spoiler:AlternateContinuity: The Japanese dub of ''Magical Molly!'' takes place in an alternate continuity from the original ''Madoka Magica''. The original series' Homura created the ''Magical Molly!'' continuity when she spilled some coffee on a 4Kids licensor's laptop during a witch chase.]]
42	* DarkerAndEdgier: Still LighterAndSofter than the uncensored ''Madoka'' series, but contains more adult jokes and content than the English 4Kids dub.
43	** DenserAndWackier: It's also more comedy-based, since a Japanese redub wouldn't work any other way.
44	* {{Defictionalization}}: [[spoiler: In the Japanese ''Magical Molly!'''s backstory,]] 4Kids was about to license a LawyerFriendlyCameo version of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' known as [[http://anime-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/Rocket_Monsters "Rocket Monsters"]] before [[spoiler: Homura Prime]] accidentally caused them to license ''Madoka''. Apparently, a one-shot manga of ''Rocket Monsters'' was published in ''Kirara Magica'', and it showed Kyoko to be a fan of the show. [[spoiler: Kyoko Prime, not "Kacey Stevens".]]
45	* GagDub
46	* GenreShift: ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'' was a dark, dramatic deconstruction of MagicalGirl shows. The English ''Magical Molly!'' is a heavily {{Bowdlerize}}d version of said show. The Japanese ''Magical Molly!'' is a humorous parody of both of the above (but more so the latter).
47	* {{Homage}}: The Japanese dub is essentially described as a trans-Atlantic equivalent of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' (which is also [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff much beloved in Japan]]).
48	* MythologyGag: This dub apparently has all sorts of in-jokes about the uncensored ''Madoka'' series.
49	* TheOtherDarrin: Averted except in "Hilda"'s [[spoiler: and [[{{Irony}} ironically]], Homura Prime's]] case.
