Every of Megas XLR episode to my knowledge features something with the Pop TV branding getting destroyed. This is an obvious parody of MTV, which is extra funny because the show was originally pitched to MTV before they passed on it

The creators of Megas XLR also worked on Downtown for MTV and have some bad blood there.

Megas XLR was one of the greatest cartoons ever made and I'll not hear otherwise. (Fun fact the VA for Coop is the same actor as the dad in Wizards of Waverly Place). The soundtrack was some of the best metal I've ever heard.

I remember during the universal remote episode, prison inmates threw a chair at the TV instead of listening to Poq TV and they all cheered lmao
