Discussion WesternAnimation / MAD

i don't wanna take it off, but the randy cunningham was spoof was anything but showing their work. it was fine at the start of the skit, but by the end you can tell they watched only 5 minutes of episodes one.

Not that I'm complaining about the show or anything, but I don't see how most of the parodies can be considered an affectionateparody, because a lot of the sketches act like they're insulting the original material, heck it can even feel bitter at times. For example, I don't see how parodying Avatar by calling it Avaturds could be considered affectionate.
