    Basically, if you're 30 or older then you get this show and what it's about, while if you're 18-29 years old, then you take this superhero stuff (and probably many other unimportant things) WAY too seriously, and therefore can't stand how this standout episode of a very fun and funny show (I'm 45) seems to mock the "serious" shows and their fans. I've looked at the ratings of many episodes, and this holds very consistently. And although they presumably don't vote much, I bet that young children--allegedly the core audience--also generally like/love this show.

    As for the mockery or satire, it's not even that, really--this episode is merely acknowledging that many of the haters of the show want a more serious one, and then the characters of course take it to a ridiculous extreme both for comedy and to reaffirm that this is what the show is about, take it or leave it. It's the typical lamp-shading the show does to wink at the audience--neither the creators nor the fans are dumb, even if they make/watch a show in which so many astoundingly (and deliberately) dumb things happen just for fun. It's not like that DC movie with the two guys with moms named Martha--an unfathomably stupid movie made for adults that took itself utterly seriously and therefore reflects the inherent stupidity of those who made it.

    I don't know why people have a beef with serious cartoons. This felt more like an attack against the fans who appreciated the better efforts laid before. There's a time to be funny and there's a time to make a show really stand out, the least you can do is make an episode that doesn't go after 'the whiners'. Who's whining? Are you upset that maybe some of us are looking for a little class these days that's a little hard to come by? I guess you're easily amused by fart noises, but not me. It's no wonder DC Comics is still trying to figure out how to be as entertaining as Marvel and going three steps forward, six steps backward.

    Hey, if you want random and nonsensical silliness, there's a show for you called Drawn Together: The Movie-- and hey, Family Guy too. So, you're covered. Childlike idiocy has no place in Teen Titans and that's a good enough reason for me to not watch a show like this. I don't like the style of this show, it looks too much like a cheap Newgrounds cartoon from a decade ago that I used to see in middle school. When DC gets the memo that they have fans willing to watch something modern, upbeat, that combines comedy along with dark plot lines-- and hopefully they do-- we won't have to settle for junk like this. The original Teen Titans cartoon was able to do that and was pulled out way too quickly for it's own good, and the same goes with Young Justice.

    "Whining", you say? No, it's called critique. Maybe you should look that up before you start using that word like you know what it means.

    I love this show. This ep is just as silly and fun as the rest of the series, but it also takes the creative license to make fun of all the people whining about the show being too silly and fun.

    Teen Titans Go!, (a silly kids' show), caught a bunch of flack for being too innocent and silly (pretty much from enraged and mean-spirited hard-core super hero nerds). Despite being a pretty solid and funny show, a bunch of internet troll whiners would not let up about the show's tone or humor. And the show light- heartedly mocked them for an entire episode in return.

    Basic gist: The ep pretty much revolves around the characters becoming more "serious" after getting mocked by more conventional cartoon super heroes (where the focus on animation is to be overly cool, pretty, and tough, and where the dialogue is clichéd, overly- serious, and stupid). The characters (predictably) take it to an insane extreme, from which the writers lampoon "serious" super hero conventions.

    This made my day. Thanks, y'all.

    The episode started of like any other episode of this show until a cameo of a group of heroes comes. At that point, it was actually pretty cool to watch. The action and the romantic moments made it as close as this show will be to the original TT. The final battle in the episode was pretty awesome for this show. The terrible part of this was the the way they go from cool, awesome, and sadness to plain crazy and stupidness. If the ending were fixed, it would be a much better episode and many fans would actually like it. Another down side is the proportions on the Titans bodies because some of them looked weird and creepy.

    I was expecting this to be like the worst episode of the entire show. And I wasn't exactly happy when Aqualad outright pointed out every mistake that the show has made.

    It didn't feel like the writer knew this show sucked it felt like it was outright mocking it the people that hate the show and being like 'Oh you want your serious Teen Titans back? Well here you go, jackasses.'

    But then halfway through when the Titans actually do become serious it actually became really funny. It was actually making fun of the whole seriousness of the old days and it made it hilarious to the character designs, the trauma, the silhouettes of the heroes and taking every little thing WAY too serious. It actually was hilarious.

    The only complaint I have is that the ending was WAY too abrupt. They break up just like that and then next week their going back to the silliness.

    ...... This episode was surprisingly better than most of the crap episodes they put on the show. But it still has a lot of flaws though the mocking of the seriousness of shows was hilarious it still leaves a lot to be desired and just makes you want to watch Batman the Animated Series..... or the old Teen Titans.
