Penn and Teller in Braceface?


The other day, I saw an episode where Sharon protests against testing perfume on animals. Two men ran the guilty company. One was tall and did all the talking, and the other short and kept quiet. I'm convinced they were based on Penn and Teller. They had diffent names, but they looked like them. What I want to know is...why? lol Is there a reason or did they just get some random imspiration?

Maybe it had something to do with comments they've made against animal rights groups like PETA. They savaged PETA on their tv show Bull***t, but given the production cycle of cartoons I would imagine the Braceface script was written before that episode aired.

I reckon you could be on to something. Thanks for that.

I wish I saw that episode! It's definitely got to be for their episode of BS. I have yet to see that episode. The only reason I watch braceface is to find instances of propaganda, etc.

I'm guessing the writing staff of Braceface saw the PETA so maybe the episode of Braceface might've been their backlash against the episode of Penn and Teller: Bullsh!t.

If I can mix Code Lyoko, Marvel and DC together.

Yeah don't like her as well, do you think she might've joined PETA? Because like Sharon Spitz she's a vegitarian she's against meat but I don't know if she's insane.

Not to mention they interviewed a few members also, do you think Alicia Silverstone might be pissed when she saw the PETA episode of Penn & Teller: Bullsh!t?

I don't watch Penn and Teller because I don't ahve showtimebut I do have HBO.
and I think Silverstone sucks because she ruiend Batgirls image.

No, the two men on the show weren't Penn & Teller; they would never appear on a cartoon show, and would also most likely never appear on an episode of a TV show that promotes veganism. This has just got to be the animators doing characters similar to both men.
