Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad etc. spoofing Fosters? - Page 2 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

What does Asperger Syndrome have to do with watching Fosters?

Lynnie · 08-02-2009, 06:58 PM

Nothing. The OP was just worried some of the cartoons his family watches would spoof Foster's, and for some reason he wanted to keep Foster's a complete secret. Not only did he not want them to know he likes it, but he didn't want them to know that it even existed apparently. *shrug* Doesn't matter now though. He's been banned.

I was just wondering why it was the reason he didn't want his parents to know, but now he is banned and we will never know, so there you go *shrugs shoulders*

No, I understand, I didn't know what he meant either. Btw I haven't closed this topic because where Foster's is spoofed in other programs is a perfectly good subject, so as long as it stays on that topic it can stay open.

In which case, (I know it's been mentioned but) this makes me laugh everytime

I know that American Dad actually makes a lot of Cartoon Network references (I think I saw Dexter's Laboratory one time) but it's probably because Seth MacFarlane used to work for the CN team back in the day, and plus American Dad is not nearly as popular as Family Guy, so he's given more freedom with it. So anyways, it's possible for him to make a Foster's referance in the future.

Also, Robot Chicken is the same, spoofs a lot of Cartoon Network shows.

The closest Robot Chicken ever got to a Foster's parody is a couple of vicious stabs at The Powerpuff Girls.

If RC does decide to parody Foster's in the near future which could be an outside possibility seeing as how they like to poke fun at practically everything on that show from the mega popular to the obscure, then Hopefully they'll be able get Keith to reprise Bloo. After all KF did lend his voice to a couple of episodes of RC, most notably the two Star Wars specials.

Didn't Codename: Kids Next Door also reportedly tip the hat to Foster's once? I have not seen the episode in question, but there was a thread about it here:

Being spoofed by a fellow CN show is one thing, but I would be very surprised if Foster's ever shows up in the likes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. It was a popular enough show in its own field, but it didn't achieve nearly the same all-encompassing cultural impact as the likes of The Powerpuff Girls and Spongebob Squarepants. Whereas even folks who don't watch much contemporary kids' TV could probably recognise who those characters are, a Foster's-based gag would be a heck of a lot more esoteric.

Yeah, I would be very surprised if any show that wasn't on CN parodied Foster's Home.
But I mean, Family Guy parodies everything.
