Pokemon

Pokemon is an infamous Japanese fantasy/sci-fi monster-collecting brand that happens to be the highest grossing media franchise in history. Tj, Paul and Scotty have mentioned Pokemon on multiple occasions on Deep Fat Fried. Paul is the most vehement in his vitriol towards the IP. Whereas Tj and Scotty seem to be a little more neutral though still aren't particularly fond of the property. In episode #207 The Lost Episodes of DFF They mentioned that Pokemon = DFF was probably never going to happen due to vast size of the franchise and their little familiarity with it growing up. Another reason was the lack of a good hook for the episode. The three pondered at what angle could they tackle the subject but like Magikarp using Splash, nothing happened. Soon afterwards, a fan had edited the renewed show intro to sync up with the season one North American Pokemon theme song, "The Very Best" and sent it to the three hosts under the title, Gotta Fry 'Em All! Unbeknownst to them, the video had been cleverly edited to appear as though it synced up. This is evident by the fact that the DFF intro is significantly longer than Gotta Fry 'Em All! The hosts however, thought it was a coincidence. This had ruined Paul's entire, otherwise productive, day. Though they then praised their own brilliant conception of the intro for having such a similar structure to many other well-known cartoon intros, Pokemon, typifying this idea for them.
