    As much as i'd love to see 'Twilight' shot down by parody, did it really have to be from these two bozos? I'm still waiting for 'Family Guy', 'South Park', or 'Robot Chicken' to rip 'Twilight' a new one, quite honestly.

    Methinks someone gives parodies too much power.

    South Park sort of already did a Twilight episode, several years ago.

    It's ripe for parody, but from the RIGHT PEOPLE. These aren't them. This requires actual thought.

    Practically every film they make gets into first place in the box office on the opening weekend. Heaven knows why.

    Maybe they practice tax loop-holes a'la Uwe Boll? Joking aside, i thought their reign of terror came to an end w/ Disaster Movie. But hopefully this thing (i refuse to call it a movie) will bomb so bad, that they will never have to work again.

    I guess movie goers are just curious.

    Look at the bright side. They're getting less work and their old studios dropped them. Eventually, they're going to have to stop producing because they've single-handedly alienated their audience by milking the same old formula and practically exhausting the parody genre.

    I can already imagine random character introductions stating by the film title such as, "I am How To Train Your Dragon!"

    They've always been here, just in different forms.
    I thought Family Guy ripped on Twilight, no? Or you'd think they would with how overated the films are by fan girls. Its right up there style.

    Disaster Movie was their last one back in 2008 and it bombed. That film was reprehensible even within their own non-standards.

    Really? Funny, I was under the impression "Superhero Movie" was made by them too. I guess every single parody now a days is made by them so many times I am shocked when another group of directors makes them.

    No, Superhero movie is actually...FUNNY! Ok, not on the naked gun level but I'm sure it's funnier than anything those guys do
