It’s always fun and surprising when we see one of our favorite series making a reference to another series. This can be especially easy to do for animated series, since they don’t actually have to coordinate getting their casts in the same room to make a reference or crossover work. In the world of adult animated series, references and crossovers tend to be more common. In fact, since these series often have overlapping fan bases, it can be especially fun for the writers on these series to poke fun at each other. While plenty of animated shows poke fun at each other, some series have actually become known for it. The Simpsons and Family Guy, for example, seem to have a bit of an ongoing back-and-forth roast. Well, you may be surprised to find out just how many times animated series have made fun of each other, and you might be even more surprised to find out who makes fun of whom. Did you know that The Simpsons has repeatedly made fun of Spongebob Squarepants? Did you see the episode where Caillou makes a hilarious appearance in Family Guy? What about the Fairly Odd-Parents episode that’s a parody of Dragon Ball-Z? Yes – there are plenty of unexpected jabs that certain animated series take at others. Plus, there have been hilarious crossover episodes between some of our favorite adult animated series. If you love animated series as much as you love a bit of lighthearted mockery, you’re definitely gonna want to see all of these.
