"The Self-Indulgent 200th Episode Spectacular!" is the forty-fourth and forty-fifth episode of the fourth season of Teen Titans Go! and the two-hundred-first and two-hundred-second overall episodes of the series. Both episodes aired on November 24, 2017.

Part 2
The Titans learn how difficult it is to make a cartoon when they try to animate Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath.

Why It's Non-Indulgent and Dull

 * 1) The episode is a typical “breaking the fourth wall” episode cartoons sometimes have such as “Know Your Fusion” from Steven Universe and “The Money” from The Amazing World of Gumball. However, unlike the two shows, the plot is executed rather poorly and it’s used as a cheap ploy to insult the haters and fans of the original Teen Titans show, the episode is just the TTG crew giving their viewers a big middle finger. Sound quite familiar? Details will be discussed below.
 * 2) The way the Titans discover their world is disappearing is done poorly, the background becomes a white void, similar to the “Alone” scene in “SB-129” when Squidward messes with the time machine in the episode and the protagonists fade away in a similar way to Back to the Future. It could’ve been done a lot better like everyone being reduced to storyboard sketches.
 * 3) They also act like fart jokes are the only jokes on the show when there are other equally bad jokes and sadistic humor that matches up to modern Family Guy.
 * 4) The writers want a break because animation is hard, which is true, animation is a grueling process, even Disney animators will tell you this but clearly, they’re not working as hard as the writers of other shows.
 * 5) This episode not only insults the haters but they also paint animation like it’s a terrible profession. This is a bad interpretation because there are a lot of animators out there like Disney, or even any production companies around the globe, who actually love their jobs. Without animation, who's gonna animate the show then?
 * 6) The way the Teen Titans make an episode is even more rushed than the actual show itself.
 * 7) The ending shows that the writers are aware of how impressionable children are since there’s a shot of cartoon children twerking while watching TTG!, it proves the show is bad on purpose.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The scene with Michael’s children is cute.
 * 2) The "Workin' on an Episode" song was catchy.

Trivia

 * This is the 200th episode of Teen Titans Go!.
