The Legend of Korra — I Mean, Uh, Dora
Say what you will about Cartoon Network’s Mad cartoon series, but some of the sketches — at least the ones I’ve posted on TR — are actually pretty brilliant, in my opinion. Take, for example, The Legend of Dora video above; it was clearly made by someone who knows her/his Korra, and it’s pretty damn hilarious because of it (assuming, you know, you also watched Legend of Korra). The only thing it’s missing is the reveal that Amon is actually Swiper, or that the fifth element is actually vocabulary. (Via The Mary Sue)
