| - Smoochy the Rhino (Edward Norton) is a parody of Barney and his show, "Smoochy's Magic Jungle" is a parody of "Barney and Friends", sort of. The movie's supposed to be a kinda tribute to the Anti-Barney humor, seeing how Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams) plans to destroy him and call him a bad guy. Luckily, in the end, the two forgive each other and become friends.
- Death To Smoochy is a 2002 dark comedy film starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton and Catherine Keener. It also features Jon Stewart and Danny DeVito, who is also the film's director. Death To Smoochy is known for its outwardly vulgar and profane humor, particularly Williams' profound cursing outbursts throughout the film. The film was a commercial and critical bomb, but like most comedies that fall under that category, it has developed a cult following.

| - Death To Smoochy is a 2002 dark comedy film starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton and Catherine Keener. It also features Jon Stewart and Danny DeVito, who is also the film's director. Death To Smoochy is known for its outwardly vulgar and profane humor, particularly Williams' profound cursing outbursts throughout the film. Williams plays Rainbow Randolph (aka Randolph Smiley), a children's television show host. On-screen, he is a lovable, friendly character, but in his personal life he is almost an antithesis incarnate of himself -- rude, irascible, and with a propensity for violence. Unfortunately for Randolph, his show is canceled after he is caught by the FBI taking bribes from parents to put their kids on his show and he is replaced by another show featuring a purple anthropomorphic rhino named Smoochy (a clear parody of Barney the Dinosaur), played by Norton. Randolph spirals into depression and poverty, and vows to bring down Smoochy and his show. Throughout the film, Randolph concocts a variety of sadistic and psychotic plots to ruin Smoochy's career, and becomes involved with a gangster named Merv Green (Harvey Fierstein), but his ploys are constantly foiled by the fact that Smoochy really is as sweet and nice as the character he portrays. The film was a commercial and critical bomb, but like most comedies that fall under that category, it has developed a cult following.
