A new show on Cartoon Network that makes fun of countless movies, shows, and products.

It's pretty funny.

Agreed. This show sucks major donkey balls. All the jokes are too predictable, or they are immature.

Like the magazine, but the TV show is terrible.

This. Have they done anything other than make fun of black people?

by **storytime7** 10/10/2010, 3:15 pm

Okay, so I decided to actually watch an episode on TV. I turned off my TV within 3 minutes. This show is so terrible, none of the jokes are funny, and the animation is horrible. This show is almost as bad as Fanboy and Chum Chum, maybe worse. 0/10 F-

It's not supposed to have good animation. They change from each skit to match the theme of it (if they had a constant animation theme, they wouldn't have been able to imitate anime, for example). They use it to make fun of what they're making fun of.

Yeah, but they can't even do a good job with that. Some shows have bad animation, but can at least make good jokes/parodies, and some shows can't make good jokes but have excellent animation. This show doesn't do either of those.

You know, I express my hatred quite frequently, but at least I recognize that there are people out there that actually like the things I don't. You can't flat out say that this show doesn't do a good job at parodying if people disagree with you. If people do like this show, then they're doing something right. A key element to a parody cartoon is parodying the style of animation that show uses (or, when they parodied Glee, exploiting facial features/making caricatures of the people), which this show does well (yeah, I can say that and still not like it; sue me).

Well I wasn't saying that nobody likes this show. I know some people who actually think it's pretty funny, but I was just saying that I don't think they do a good job at parodies.

By saying "they can't even do a good job at that" and "this show doesn't do either of [good jobs/parodies]" without adding "in my opinion" somewhere in that implies that you believe that it is solid fact that this show does not do a good job at parodying animation or making good jokes about what they are parodying.

My bad. That was what I meant when I posted that, but I forgot to add that in.

I love it! The claymation rocks! The parodies are awesome! Seth Green is a genius.....wait you are telling me this is not Robot Chicken? Then what is this? Oh that's right, this is an unfunny, poor parody, PG-rated rip-off of Robot Chicken.

Sad, I use to like reading MAD magazine when I was younger. This show is garbage

by **Deli** 10/18/2010, 11:35 pm

I saw an episode tonight. There was one segment that raped my childhood and violated my mind...

I will never be able to listen to ''Single Ladies'' by Beyonce and look at Kermit the Frog the same way ever again... THERE ARE SOME MUPPET REFERENCES IN THIS WORLD THAT GO TOO FAR!!!

by **Dragiiin123** 10/19/2010, 6:15 am

I'm starting to wonder if they evewn watch the shows that there paroding. For there pokemon sketch, They had MAX, from Hoenn, throw a pokeball.

by **Deli** 10/19/2010, 1:58 pm

My view on this show has been ruined forever after last night's episode...

Does it seriously matter that much if a parody is accurate or not?

They also had an original character throw out a PokeBall. That's just utter insanity! An unnamed character cannot own a Pokemon! These parodies must be accurate!

Besides, Max = Schoolboy. Ever see the resemblance to that in R/S/E? Or when you were playing the Hoenn games, did you just say "Oh hey, looks like I'm battling Max now!" and then question the logic that followed that because obviously Max cannot own a Pokemon, even though people own them that are younger than him (unless the school children all suddenly became 10 year olds, which would include the pre-schoolers in Black and White)?

I very much matters.

by **TarterSauce25** 10/23/2010, 3:42 pm

I watched another episode of it, a newer episode, and it is still trash. It has some partly funny jokes, but it's just a trashy show you can watch with a bunch of friends.

by **Deli** 10/23/2010, 4:23 pm

I'll still never be able to listen to the song ''Single Ladies'' ever again after the latest episode...

Going to start watching it next Monday.

by **storytime7** 10/30/2010, 10:03 pm

Watched the first few episodes, and my opinions still haven't changed. It's awful, IMO.

by **Deli** 10/30/2010, 10:56 pm

*rocks back and forth on the floor, twitching and curled up in a ball* S-S-Someone t-tell me I'm gonna be okay... someone tell me if they're going to stop MAD anytime s-soon!! Not only did it rape my childhood, but it's just NOT FUNNY. *passes out*

Stop watching it if it rapes your childhood so badly. Just a suggestion.

Oh, I only watched that one episode. Other than that, I hate the damn show. I just made it definite that I'm never watching it again. But still, the Cliffordfield ep is gonna haunt me for a while. O_O

And thanks for the suggestion. ^w^

I was originally looking forward to this show because some of the writers on this show worked on one of the old Nickelodeon shows "KaBlam!" which was a great show, but this is just....awful, IMO.

I watch it because either nothing else is on or because I know what to argue about when I say I don't like the show in the least. Instead of having a baseless argument, I can actually explain why I don't like the show using examples from the show itself.

And because once in a blue moon they actually do something I like.

I watched the first 5 episodes just to say that I gave it a chance, and yeah so that I know what i'm talking about when I say I dislike the show. The only thing I sorta like about this show is the "Spy vs. Spy" shorts.

by **Steel Sponge** 12/27/2010, 10:19 pm

I watched four of their episodes tonight. They sucked.

by **SpongeSebastian** 12/27/2010, 10:32 pm

I saw a few episodes, and it's an okay show. Their parodies probably aren't the funniest, but at least it's something to watch when nothing else is on.

by **ExKizuna** 12/28/2010, 2:00 pm

Okay, I hate Mad. I said this. But there was a sketch I actually liked.

I don't know what episode it was from, but the sketch was about phobias, and one was "Legaphobia = The fear that the person that pilots your leg won't show up today" and then shows Voltron with the blue lion missing HAHA

Oh yeah, and I love the spy vs spy sketches.

by **that70sguy92** 12/28/2010, 9:35 pm

I watched their Glee sketch and it seems they've never watched Glee at all.

by **tvguy347** 12/29/2010, 2:15 am

Anyway, this show is terrible. Nothing can change that. Silly Face!
