American parodies of anime

Any examples of American parodies of anime shows, cliches, etc? Can you elaborate on that?

Like Freakazoid's parody of Astroboy. Or Dexter's Lab. Or remember Chipokomon?

Recently, I saw Ron Stoppable in Kim Possible visiting Japan to learn ninjitsu. There's a scene where after he defeats his enemy, he turns into a smiling SD.

He is asking for any examples of american parodies of anime, any instance in an american show that makes fun or exaggerates a common element of anime in someway.

Gawd!

Anyway, more examples:

"My Life As A Teenage Robot" where Jenny XJ9 speaks Japanese! All your favourite words like "Baka" are there. What's funnier is how the people around her respond to her speech!

I'm not a big South Park fan, but the episode i like was where the kids all turned into parodies of anime-esque characters....it was actually pretty funny...especially for a show that got popular off of poo-poo pee-pee jokes

Some more examples of Americans spoofing anime:

South Park: Along with the Chinpokemon episode, there's another episode in which Cartman turns into a blob-like creature a la Tetsuo in Akira.

The Simpsons: There have been a few anime references on the Simpsons, with the best being a couch gag in which the family members resemble various anime characters both old and new (i.e. Bart as Astroboy, Marge as Jun from Gatchaman, Lisa as Sailor Moon).
