I was flummoxed by the idiot robot guard scenes but laughed so hard when Kid Flash then Bumblebee and Aqualad then Batman upstaged the TT.

The second episode in a row they tried to remind us what the Teen Titans used to be. I don't know what they are going for, are they trying to mock the fans of the old show, or realize we need more action, but it is to late now.

The only nip pick for this episode, it should have been Batman at the end, it should have been the Doom Patrol, did the writers even read the comics or watch the old show, they would know the Doom Patrol was the Brain's arch nemesis, and we had season 5 premiere establish and the Titans finish there fight, I know Batman is more well known, but still.

How come the rest of the Brotherhood of Evil haven't been on the show, I mean there is no reason Madame Rogue can't be on the show, she is voiced by one of the regular cast member. Granted so is Blackfire, and she has only been in like one episode.

I watched this episode, and right after that I watched DC Super Hero Girls short, and shows the difference, DCSHG is what TTG is trying to do, but done so much better, both trying to do a parody of super hero shows and not take it self so serious, but I think DCSHG does a better job of balancing the humor, but not forget it is about super heroes. TTG can learn from that, no one is saying it has to be all serious and dark, you can still have humor, DCSHG as well as the original TT are examples of it done right.

 

[Max Powar]

And yet TTG is Cartoon Network's most watched show, so obviously it's been done exactly right.

TTG is gleefully, shamelessly subversive, and despite the angst of adult viewers with arrested development eating too many 'member berries' (South Park reference) downvoting the show into pseudo-oblivion on imdb and other such communities, TTG remains outrageously successful with the only viewers that actually matter: the kids of today.

It should also be noted that the returning voice-cast for TTG clearly enjoys the new style and tone. Frankly their voice-acting in TTG shows more enthusiasm than it ever did in the original series. They seem to be just as gleeful about the self-aware, unapologetic parody as the writers themselves.

 

[RoyalRubble]

The Titans forgetting how to be superheroes was a pretty dumb concept, but I think they managed to work in some amusing gags throughout the episode. I was wondering how big of a role the shrimps and prime rib would play in this story...

The ending with all the other hero cameos was probably the best part.

Whoever wins...we lose.

...sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

[Yojimbo]

Eh. Liked last year's Halloween one more. Dug they played all three in a row today.

 

[zoombie]

Is this the first time Santa tried to steal a holiday, that plot sounds familiar, the Titans have dealt with Santa before, I don't remember why.

You don't see to many kids show that make Santa the villain, unless it is a very religious show.

 

[Yojimbo]

Oh dang! Dracula drained Rudolph...

Tried to steal Easter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, President's Day, Arbor Day, Hanukkah, Cinco de Mayo, Purim, Groundhog Day, and Halloween last season.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Decent episode but kind of predictable. I liked the fight between the Halloween and Christmas creatures and the callback to "The Night Begins to Shine" was a nice surprise.

Did I just see a Home Alone parody with the Teen Titans, I mean really?

Well when they driving through the desert, I half expected them to run into Period and Steven during the time they were chasing that corrupted gem. LOL

 

[AnotherRandomGuy]

I'm not the biggest fan of TTG to be frank, but this episode got a few chuckles out of me particularly the bit with the tangerines

 

[Yojimbo]

Yeah, I dug the tangerines part, too. When I first saw the title, I thought it might be a Home Alone tribute. Didn't expect a dash of Saved by the Bell and Indiana Jones, lol.

 

[RoyalRubble]

The first part was pretty lame, with Cyborg & Starfire acting so immature and keeping Robin awake all night with those bird noises; it was just annoying.

The second part was pretty funny, the booby traps they came up with were ridiculous but did get the job done properly. The ending was kind of abrupt though, I was expecting them to realize the monsters were the other Titans.

The bit with the tangerines was fun, I also liked how easily it was solved, too. "Oh, here they are".

Yeah, figured it would the Home Alone 'reunion' ending undercut by some random TTG ending like the grizzly bear grabbing Robin.

Carnies....

I couldn't have been the only person wondering what the toast's story was, right?

Song was a bit Meghan Trainor-ish.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Decent episode. The Titans versus the carnies was an interesting scene. Starfire saving all the other goldfish was pretty amusing.

Hopefully they'll do an episode about that toast as well someday.
