Default The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Welp, let's talk about the show .

There was this one ep, it seemed like it had something to do with Billy wanting to be a ballet dancer or something. At the end Billy's dad and the old lady had a ballet dance competition. Anyway, his ballet school looked JUST like a hunted version of Fosters! It even had a tall guy and an old lady in it! And the house, the inside....it was so much like Fosters.

The first time I saw the show, right at the beginning this sullen-looking little girl walks on to the screen, points at me, and says "Pull my finger". That, for me, was the high point of the series; it's been pretty much downhill from there.

Yeah, it's Mandy, and she's cynical. XDD

I like Mandy, it's her cynical, semi gothic personality that makes the show. And god, Billy is so stupid. Funny, but stupid, and sometimes annoying. Grim, he's a good one too. I think Mandy and Grim are my favorites.

I'd unreservedly love this show if it weren't for the excess crude humor. It has a gloomy edge and some very cool main characters, but the overload of such tasteless humor alone stops me from enjoying this show aside from the ocassional watch.

Yep when that episode debuted, there was an eight page thread dedicated to it, (It was either here or TV.com or maybe both) which I thought was kind of a bit much for something that only lasted less then 30 seconds and really wasn't all that funny or clever.

Now The Powerpuff Girls bit they did at the end of the Episode "My Fair Mandy" on the other hand, "That's" how you parody something from the McCrakenverse.

Yeh that was falling of the chair stuff that. I aint seen the Fosters rag yet.

It is disgusting though sometimes. I never have a TV dinner when Billy and Mandy is on.

One time, I was at a hotel that had cable TV, so I watched The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I think that was about two years back. I thought it was pretty funny. Since then, I've never had the chance to see it again, so I don't know what it's like anymore.
About that thing when they made fun of Foster's? I've never seen that either, but from the way it sounds, it doesn't amuse me.

It's kinda weird...

Spoiler Below
It's this little parody called "Fister's Home for Weird Made-Up People". It shows a parody of Mac and the friends (who look like Juniper Lee monsters...*shudder*) and then a second later, we see an ugly version of the house. A split second later...*BOOOM!*, it blows up.
