Any media listed here must be notable. Anything considered non-notable should be removed immediately. If you are unsure whether or not something is notable, please start a discussion on the talk page.
FBI Warnings
Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)
- In the "Video Pirates" segment, a group of pirates who like to illegally bootleg VHS tapes (the leader is played by William Marshall) find a treasure trove of VHS tapes and laserdiscs. One of them puts one into a VCR, and it displays the 20th Century Fox warning (strangely, it's the "video discs" variant of the warning; the image is also in black and white, though that may have been from the in-scene monitor). He then sarcastically says "Ooooh, I'm so scared!", and he and his crew break into laughter.
Invader Zim (2001-2002)
- The episode "FBI Warning of Doom" entirely revolves around an eponymous fake FBI Warning (which Zim believes to be a real personal threat from the FBI). The warning is as follows:
"WARNING OF DOOM! (20th Century Studios Home Entertainment 1st FBI Warning Screen text shown) They will hunt you down like the dirty monkey you are and force you to wear a moose skin and ride a greased piggy while singing folk tunes. They're forcing me to ride the piggy as I write this. The piggy is smelly!!"
Feature Presentation/Coming Attraction
Adult Swim (2001-present)
- On September 16, 2019, a spoof of the 1999 Buena Vista Home Entertainment Feature Presentation/Coming Soon IDs was posted on Adult Swim's official Twitter account, accompanied by the tweet "In the entertainment industry, consistency is everything."
(NOTE: No screenshots will be posted here due to the use of "bulls---;" see the tweet here)
Film Ratings
Adult Swim (2001-present)
Some of the network's shows have featured parodies of MPAA slides, seen below.
The Boondocks (2005-2014, 2021)
- Season 2, Episode 1 features a parody of the MPAA Green Band bumper, reading:
ALL AUDIENCES
BY THE NATIONAL MOVIE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICARobot Chicken (2005-)
- In the episode "President Evil", 5 trailers open with a parody of the MPAA Green Band rating (complete with a modified MPAA logo):
Additionally, the info box has also been spoofed, with the following text:
Main box | Details |
---|---|
Parents Sternly Advised | Crude humor, language, animated violence |
Middle America Warned | Film contains subtitles |
Parents Firmly Alerted | F-word, C-word and N-word combined in one particularly inappropriate joke |
Single Parents Admonished | Did nobody teach you about birth control? Good job ruining your life (Note: This rating pokes fun at the viewer.) |
Guys Strictly Cautioned | Contains (removed word) but also a full-frontal shot of some dude, so you win some you lose some |
Loiter Squad (2012-2014)
- An episode features a parody of the MPAA "White Stripe" "X" bumper, with this text:
