## Criticism and Controversy

The show was largely hated due to Flora asking the viewers questions, only for them to scream at her, and the show's constant repetition.

### Parodies

It was so bad, other programs parodied it.

1. Robot Monkey - In this show, there was a skit called “Flora the Grownup”, which had the adult version of Flora still break the fourth wall and Socks only be in it to stand there silently.
2. Kid Titans Go! - The whole episode “Kid Titans Yay!” was a parody of it. Ruckus was himself Dressed similarly to Flora, Moonwater was A Fox naked Gloves (a parody of Socks and since Moonwater loves foxes), Rachel was Tablet (a parody of Compass), Hubot was Suitcase (a parody of Purse), and Aniboy was Reddy the Clue Turtle (A parody of Tia the Turtle from Tia’s Ideas). In addition, Snatchie the Beaver was a parody of Thiefie, and the "Here We Go" song was a parody of "De De Do Do Do"
3. Denmarkville - There is a recurring gag while Denmark and Amy watch a show called “Duncan of the Dessert”.
4. Friday Night Live - Malakais is a parody of Flora
5. Phillip and Ferd - Lucky Jojo is a parody of Flora.
6. Fudruckers’ Home for Rejected Cartoons - Teduardo’s favorite show is Cora’s Living Forest, a parody of Flora.
