Talk:Super Friends

message: "At one point, Cartoon Network produced three commercials lampooning the Super Friends..."
It actually created a few other as well.
One involved the Wonder Twin Zan seeing Marvin in a video rental store, and trying to avoid them, moving down into the adult section, and him seeing him and going down there, making a few jokes, and pointing out he didn't blame him for getting them thrown off the team.
There was also an absolutely halarious one where the Wonder Twins are called to rescue a kid in a cave from a bear.  They fail miserably, then at the funeral, the old woman who was the dead kid's mother smacks them both in the face, and then the monkey too, chewing them out for their stupidity.
Additional trivia, they had a parody of them on South Park, making fun of Aquaman, or Sea-man as they called him.
In fact, they've been parodied on a vast number of shows.  Robot Chicken on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line up makes fun of them all the time.
Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law had an episode with Apache Chief in it, spilling coffee on his manhood, and filing a lawsuit.  It showed Black Vulcan complaining about the "black" part of his name, wishing to be called something else instead but stuck with that do to racist stupidity.  In addition Wonder Woman was shown with Zen as her bathwater.  Funny episode.
Thought I mentioned it if anyone wanted to update the trivia section.

replies: text: Very interesting. It appears that H-B, rather than DC, owned anything created expressly for this series. If that can be sourced, I'd suggest it to be notable enough for inclusion. --Tbrittreid (talk) 20:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I never saw the '80s episodes, but I was wondering if its cancelation had anything to do with "Crisis on Infinite Earths."  That saga wrapped up in 1986.  That was also the year the "Super Powers" toyline ceased, which was clearly based on a composite of the comics and the cartoons.
Just curious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Epiphone83 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why did it die? 

message: They do have a lot of rediculous plotlines.
In one episode, Grog had taken control over the minds of the gorillas of gorilla city, and they used a weapon to eliminate the powers of the super friends.  This included Batman and Robin, who have no super powers, they saying oh no, their utility belts no longer worked.  Without their powers they seemed helpless, but fortunately Apache Chief stated "we still have my Indian tracking skills" and they got away.  I think if someone found a clip of this and linked to it, it'd demonstrate just how rediculous the show is.  Lot of racial stereotypes, as well as idiotic plotlines that made no sense whatsoever.
In one episode Apache Chief grew larger than the earth, to fight a monster who put Earth in a pouch, to use as a marble, in his marble collection.

The twang from Santana of the Dead's guitar is the exact same sound used in many episodes of Super Friends, which was often used in poor context for things banging into walls, etc."
...
Uh, yeah, that "twang" sound effect was and is used in many cartoons, before and after the SFs. It was El Kabong's guitar noise, Shaggy and Scooby ran into masked swindlers with it, etc. Yeesh!

thread_title:  Reception 

message: I dispute that this is a "spin off" or has any connection to Super Friends (beyond both having a version of Superman as a character anyway). For starters, it was produced by a different company, which alone should disqualify it. Furthermore, it was based mainly on the Post-Crisis incarnation of Superman, which didn't even exist yet during the Super Friends era which used a Pre-Crisis, maybe even Silver Age version of the character. 
If this counts as a spin off, than so should any cartoon based on a DC character, such as Batman the Animated Series, which would be silly.98.243.94.83 (talk) 20:32, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
