sketch are often fill up with message , and they ’re present in all kinds of way . Sometimes the best way is to draw up a tale within another tale . It can come off hard - handed and other times the subtlety is brilliant , but it ’s a popular choice however . And while not every instance is effective , the following 12 are some classic example of a great sketch within a cartoon .
12 . Where Are My bloomers – The LEGO Movie
The most recent entry , Where Are My Pants is the most popular show in Bricksburg — and who can find fault everyone for care it ? I mean , it ’s about a bozo ( named Larry ) who is always lose his pants . It ’s so wacky and that ’s why everyone keep an eye on it . Or does everyone watch it because it ’s a brilliance part of Lord Business ’ scheme to rob creativity and imaging from the world ?
Spoilers — it ’s the latter . As someone watching The LEGO Movie , you never get a chance to see more than Larry involve “ where are my pants ? ” but it ’s easy to decipher the commentary behind the hit show . Where Are My Pants is representative of all the mindless trash TV that citizenry seem to like so much , and it proves watching display like that rot your brain .
11 . Big Shot – Cowboy Bebop
Bounty Hunting is a vast part of Cowboy Bebop , and Big Shot is the elbow room those bounty hunters find out about where the money is . But more than that , the show is also a mouthpiece for the musical theme of bounty search in general . Everything is like a super - exaggerated western sandwich , and it ’s kind of ridiculous . The hosts , Punch and Judy , are stress goofs on blind — but in realism they ’re nothing like their bounty hunting counterparts . It ’s almost as if full-grown Shot is a metaphor for the rest of Bebop . The show is even cancelled for small evaluation just three episodes before Bebop ’s series finale .
10 . Hello , Megan ! – Young Justice
You never see much of this show on Young Justice itself , but M’gann is always make references to it , using catchphrases from it , and basing her entire persona off it . Her human name is even Megan and she soma - shifts to look exactly like the show ’s main character . And before M’gann really amount to term with herself as a white Martian , Hello , Megan ! serves as a windowpane into her mind . What ’s wry is that M’gann likes the show because all of its job are solved in 22 minutes . unremarkably , a show like Young Justice would be the same — but it ’s far too complicated for that . Just like substantial biography . And that ’s what make Hello , Megan ! so great . Its own unrealistic nature makes the unrealistic nature of Young Justice a wad less noticeable , and it ’s easy to get pulled into the story .
9 . Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery – Invader Zim
Invader Zim is about as crazy as a cartoon can get , and sometimes the randomness fog how clever it could be . One great exercise of that is the show Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery , which features all the shit paranormal nonsense you ’d expect from a program with that title . It was once Dib ’s favored show because it took the Earth ’s paranormal activities in earnest , but it eventually ran out of content and started airing “ made up ” stuff , like Chickenfoot . Despite this , Dib is always trying to use the show to prove that Zim is an alien . The problem is , everyone thinks he ’s mad ( because everything else on that show is n’t harebrained ) , which is nice and ironic . Because as the consultation make out , Dib is the only one who actually ever finds any proof of the paranormal . And as for what Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery says about the great unwashed who like those shows in real biography — well , I do n’t want to diss any bigfoot truster .
8 . Reptar – Rugrats
“ Reptar , Reptar , got ta find that Reptar ! ” I ’ll never forget those Good Book or the ice-skating rink show that first spoke them . Pretty much anyone who watched cartoons during the ’ 90s will think back the Rugrats ’ travesty on Godzilla . And frankly , Reptar is about as badass in his own right wing as a Godzilla spoof can be . He ’s often the motive that proves a baby has to do what a infant has to do , too . But Reptar also serve a purpose beyond being awesome — he ’s also a comment on the ludicrous extent of some merchandising drive . Reptar is a breakfast cereal , the miniature to have , and is basically everywhere . And it does a wonderful business of mirroring the laughable methods of real companies .
7 . The Justice Friends – Dexter ’s Laboratory
Due to the Justice Friends make an show in the Powerpuff Girls , they may not be a telly show at all — but since they do exist within a TV show , we ’ll count them . And regardless if they ’re a TV show , they ’re a pretty clever burlesque on DC Comics ’ Justice League and Marvel ’s Avengers . The three main characters — Major Glory , Val Hallen , and The Infraggable Krunk — form a terrific core that paint a caricature of popular superheroes like Captain America , Superman , Thor , Hulk , and The matter . But only thinking of those three would discredit the other great appendage of the squad , like The Living Bullet , Tiki Torch , and Capital G. As for the message behind the Justice Friends , they do the job of any superhero spoof , prove how silly they can be .
6 . Los Dias Y Las Noches De Monsignor Martinez – King of the Hill
The gas pedal - toting catholic Monsignor Martinez was easily the most popular character on video in King of the Hill . And think the ice - stale way he ’d blow away his foeman with his catchphrase “ vaya con dios , ” it ’s no wonderment . What ’s more , this show was so popular that FOX even tried bringing it to life with a unrecorded - action pilot . Sadly the television receiver executive get cold foot at the last arcminute and attract the jade for fear of offending interview . That ’s a shame , but we ’ll always have the King of the Hill version to show us what might have been .
5 . The Rusty Venture Show – The Venture Bros.
Poor Rusty Venture . His childhood was a traumatizing mixture of literal adventures and The Rusty Venture Show . As an adult , he still has a intemperate clip state the difference between what actually happened to him and what happened in the show . The show was crucial , in universe , for hiding clues to the Orb , but in substantial life it hold a different substance . While The Venture Bros. is already a hard-core spoof of show like Johnny Quest , The Rusty Venture Show completes the joke . Plus it ’s patronize by cigarettes , which is a elusive callback to how things used to be X ago .
4 . Terrance and Phillip – South Park
Only Terrance and Phillip could exist as a show that centers on break wind and only fart . And somehow it manages to in reality be fun a good slew of the time ( I still commemorate the words to “ Uncle Fucker , ” from the movie ) . The funniness duo goes through plenty on the show , but its true function has always stay the same . Just like grownup in the actual world detest South Park for being about unsportsmanlike nonsense , adults in South Park hate Terrance and Phillip for the same reasons . So if you ’re a South Park hater , know that the creators bemock you on quite the veritable basis .
3 . The Itchy and Scratchy Show – The Simpson
Just like most everyone knows about Tom and Jerry , most people bed about The Simpson ’s Itchy and Scratchy . Both are legendary toon , but The Simpson ’s adaptation is quite possibly more pop . Perhaps that ’s because Itchy and Scratchy takes the premise behind Tom and Jerry and take the kid gloves off . Either room , the hyper - violence has made the show within a show a heavy smasher with fans . Its message is simple too , and the test copy is in their popularity : that hoi polloi like cartoon violence way more than they might like to admit — even when it ’s utmost .
2 . The Fatheads – Rocko ’s Modern lifetime
The Fatheads is an interesting lawsuit when it comes to cartoon within a sketch since it was made by a grapheme in the show . But unlike The Rusty Venture Show , this show is meant to be despiteful toward the creator parents — the bighead . It ’s also one of the weirdest examples , full of shouting and hit multitude over the head with parking meters . Even more unique , its substance is n’t necessarily meant for the real interview watching Rocko ’s Modern Life , but rather a fashion for Ralph Bighead to express the anger he has toward his parents . Also it has the best theme vocal of any show within a show ever .
1 . All My Circuits – Futurama
Starring the best robotic actor of all time , All My Circuits is the dramatic masterpiece reality wishes it could replicate . It has all the things a person could want in the ideal soap opera : drama , Latinian language , betrayal , clones , comas , and anything else you could or could n’t call back of . But seriously , Calculon and the rest of the cast of characters manage to parody everything ridiculous about Futurama itself . And even if it did n’t manage to be so cagy , I think most of us can check that we ’d actually watch a real rendering of All My Circuits .
