Twilight Vs. Vampire Diaires -- What Did You Think?

VampireDiariesTwilight3Shots.jpg

On last Thursday night's episode of The Vampire Diaries, Damon's character was reading a Twilight Saga book and talking about how vampires "really" work.

Here's what went down:

Damon: What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so whipped.

Caroline: You've got to read the first book first. It won't make sense if you don't.

Damon: Ooh, I miss Anne Rice. She was so on it.

Caroline: How come you don't sparkle?

Damon: Because I live in the real world where vampires burn in the sun.

Later on in the scene, Damon said, "This book by the way has it all wrong."

What did you think of this Twilight reference on the show?

FIRST!
OMG! That was so funny! I was dying of laughter! Okay yes they kinda did make fun of Twilight, and I am a HUGE Twilight fan! But I thought it was funny.

heathermc17 on October 4, 2009 9:29 AM

I would like to think Twilight has it right

PlayHard_GetDirty15 on October 4, 2009 9:50 AM

well its funny, but its sorta RUDE to stephenie meyer and everyone involved with the Twilight books and movies. they worked hard for what they got and vamp diaries are just wannabes that never WILL be.

mandyluvsya1234 on October 4, 2009 10:12 AM

it was kinda funny but I don't think everyone should make a big deal out of it. It wasn't that bad.

a.s_tayandrob on October 4, 2009 10:14 AM

well i didnt think it was really funny at all.. sorry to the vampire diares but im in love with the twilight movie and books

number1jacobfan on October 4, 2009 10:14 AM

Ohhhh, I am fuming right now!!!!!! X( Twilight is a million times better than the Vampire Diaries.

chrissyjonas05 on October 4, 2009 10:53 AM

i love damion soo much
and its true as much as i love twilight its kinda stupid that they sparkle :P
but thats just my opinoin

team jacob4ever on October 4, 2009 11:04 AM

What DID you think? its still WHAT i think. i hate vampire diaries! although the BOOK came out first, they stole EVERYTHING from twilight! and thats not ok with me! i cant stand it! twilight shows kids you can dream. you can love anybody even if you come from 2 different sides of the world. and to me vampire diaries is imitating it. that just MAKES ME SOOO MAD. I know its not a big deal but it is.to me. im staying true to twilight i always did and always will. I LOVE YOU TWILIGHT CAST!!!! you made me see love,life,a dream. and taylor lautner WHEN i meet you i have to give you something. something special. i love you guys. sending all my peace,love and twi-isem(twilight smarts) bye!

nikkidavisx3 on October 4, 2009 11:11 AM

The vampire diaries was written years before twilight. if anything twilight stole the ideas from the vampire diaries. i'll admit the the tv show is a lot closer to twilight than the books were and im a huge twilight fan but i read vampire diaries before and people annoy me when they say that its copied from twilight. vampire diaries was out before twilight how could they copy if twilight didn't exist?? i thought what damon said was funny. i love him.

i think it was funny how they put twilight in this.But then agine they shouldn't hav done it.

I love Twilight so much, but I found this so funny. I was laughing really hard after he said Edward was whipped. It makes sense, and no person was harmed. It was just a funny little joke. No one should really care so much...it's all fake. Everything Twilight and everything Vampire Diaries is not real. So no one was harmed. I'm pretty sure people have been changing vampire stories or believing them since the beginning. Both these don't go along with Dracula.....so how does poor Dracula feel? Not real=not care. Creator probably wouldn't care either. So, I love Twilight. I laughed at it. No big deal.

diehardtwihard13 on October 4, 2009 11:48 AM

Jealous, much? Oh my gosh, sue them

ShakespeareVampireGirl on October 4, 2009 11:50 AM

I'm with twilight. The Vampire Diaries is like a show that you would want to watch when there is nothing on tv. It's a good show but I love twilight better it's way more dramatic and yet to the say truth The Vampire Diaries is like just a little boring

lovemelonqtime on October 4, 2009 1:09 PM

i thought it was funny. & i like Vamp. Diaries better than twilight.

I love twilight forever to death and twilight saga rock forever.

jennacullen on October 4, 2009 2:07 PM

First of all, Vampire Diaries is so copying twilight! I think it was rude of them to make fun of twilight, because twilight is so much better!

I'm sorry to all the Vampire Diaries fans... but I just thought they were totally dissing Twilight. I didn't find it funny. At all..... :L
TWILIGHT RULES 4EVA!! =]

VAMPIRE DIARIES STINKS WHEN I SAW IT I THOUGHT I WSA GOING 2 PUKE THEY NEED BETTER ACTOR A NEW DIRECTOR AND A BETTER SCRIPT VAMPIRE DIARIE IS JUST PLANE OUT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damon was sooo funny with the twilight thing. hahahahaha i love Damon and Stefan. damon is cutere that his brother

Well, Vampire Diaries was written 15 years before Twilight. Personally I love both of them, but I was pretty funn.y This is their lifestyle to them it sounds ridiculous. But it is just the way their characters are, so they don't believe in that stuff everyone has their own opinions, they aren't dissing Twilight. If they were I would be mad, but Im not:D

Vampire Freak on October 4, 2009 3:36 PM

I love the Vampire Diaries. I used to love Twilight & Edward but I sooo don't like Edward anymore. I love Stefan though & this show is sooo better than twilight but thtas just my thoughts.

tinyrebelde on October 4, 2009 3:45 PM

These books were written before Twilight, so no one is copying anything. And no one is saying Twilight sucks. You guys are far beyond the point! The Vampire Diaries' vampires are different than the ones in Twilight, so in their "life", it's all fictional vampire stories. Just like our reality, it's all fictional vampire stories.
Stop nagging, it's just a series!

It might be funny if Meyers didn't write the Twilight books to be a different type of vampire to appeal to the more teenage audience. She even states that she wanted to create something new with the Cullens. So I can't see where a series that is basically copying the Twilight series should be making fun of it. I hope that they realize that the people watching their show is Twilight addicts looking to watch the same type of impossible love story that Meyers created.

hunger-games on October 4, 2009 4:13 PM

I thought it was hilarious. I also thought what Damon said was so true. Real vampires don't sparkle, and VD did not copy Twilight. If anything Twilight copied VD, since it came out way before Twilight.

number1jacobfan on October 4, 2009 4:21 PM

I sooooo agree with anyone who has said that Twilight is better. Go die-hard, Twi-hard fans! :)

crazychick on October 4, 2009 4:27 PM

ok im sorry 2 u twilight lovers wait no im not but i love twilight and i think its like the GAYEST thing ever that they sparkle and i love vd its an awesome show and that part was HILARIOUS and for all u peeps who think they copied LOOK AT THE COPYRIGHT DATE!! the only reason the girl who wrote vd put it out now is cause she saw a perfect opportunity to since vamps r hot rite now! who agrees?

wavylocks427 on October 4, 2009 4:50 PM

Even if Vampire Diaries was first, I don't think there's any competition. Twilight hands down. But I have to admit that was funny how they mentioned Twilight in Vampire Diaries. I still can't get over how funny that is.

teamJasper22 on October 4, 2009 5:04 PM

i didn't see it but if I did I would hav been upset. Twilight roxs! :)

team_jaktwiyo_ab on October 4, 2009 5:19 PM

ii saw thiis on TV when iit fiirst came out.

ii was wild'N'Out. iit was completely rudde and disrespectful to Stephenie, joke or not!

Just because the book came out first doesn't mean Twilight stole from them! Twilight is 10x better and Vampire Diaries is...okay, but its not at a point where they can be bashing on a masterpiece!

So seriously, that was just STUPID of VD to bash TWILIGHT like that! Epic FAIL.!!!

jonasgirl16 on October 4, 2009 5:48 PM

ha i think it was really funny,but im a twiight fan but they do have it all wrong,ha.but vampire diaries is sooo much better tha twilight

My Gosh! That was SOOO Funny. I started laughing hard! I like the Twilight saga better than the movie cuz i really don't think the movie was made too well. So for that reason I like Vampire Diaries better. But I can't say anything about the Vampire Diaries books cuz I haven't read them.

jennacullen on October 4, 2009 6:06 PM

So what if vampire diaries came out first? It wouldn't be at all popular if it wasn't for twilight! Also, i've heard that the show is a lot more like twilight than the books.

beachlaxgal51 on October 4, 2009 6:17 PM

Ok well i read all the twilight books and to be honest they kinda got boring by like the 3rd book because its just the same thing over and over again. I also read vampire diaries books and they were sooo much better than twilight. Vampire academy series is also a lot better than twilight, i mean like the twilight movie was made "ok" i thought that they couldove done soo much better. And the whole sparkling in the sun is stupid. And vampire diaries could of not copied twilight because vampire diaries came out first. So twilight could be copying vampire diaries. I also thought it was really funny when Damon said that.

twilightfan1024 on October 4, 2009 6:20 PM

what the heck? there is no question about it.... TWILIGHT is obviously better..... i dont know what tht vampire diaries dude was talking about but he better not be messin wit my edward cullen cuz edward is so awesome!!!!!!

twilightfan1024 on October 4, 2009 6:23 PM

=[

KatrinaEfron on October 4, 2009 6:27 PM

I think that what vampire diaries did was VERY uncalled for

KatrinaEfron on October 4, 2009 6:27 PM

I think that what vampire diaries did was VERY uncalled for

their both reall good, but twilights better :)

Twilightgurl12 on October 4, 2009 8:48 PM

THAT WAS VERY UNCALLED FOR AND EXTREMELY RUDE AND TWILIGHT IS WWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER

It was hilarious! And for those of u who say Vampire Diaries is copying, learn the facts! Vampire Diaries was written in 1991! Long before Twilight was thought of. Stephanie Myer is not the first person to come up with this scenario!

it was funny but uncalled for. and i love the TWILIGHT SERIES and the VAMPIRE DIARIES just as good

.:TEAM JACOB:.

alice_hope on October 4, 2009 9:33 PM


Twilight , Is my life ; without it , i would die. It's like my own personal brand of herion

First , I love both Twilight& The vamprie Diaries but when I watched this episode and heard this, I felt like they dident have to put that in there. I thought it was uncalled for and rude; because everyone put so much work into the Twilight Saga.

Anyone saying that there ' copying ' Twilight, there not The Vampire Diaries came out befor Twilight.

ROBERT PATTiNSON _ CAll ME ! (:
& TEAM EDWARD ! ;D
peace . love . twilight &Rob Pattinson !
Twi-Hard forever ,
cant wait for New Moon , (:

number1jacobfan on October 5, 2009 8:06 AM

crazy4twilightsaga911 on October 5, 2009 9:18 AM

I love the TWILIGHT SAGA!!!!!
I saw one episode of vamp. diaries and it sucked!!!!!!!xD
And twilight is special,and not like vamp. diaries!!!!!!!!
And it's super cool and special that vampires sparkle and not burn!!!
I'm also on team Jacob and Taylor is hot!!!!

it was mean the way they invalved twilight in the show but i thought it was so funny

r u pple really gonna make a big fuss about it. they just stated their opnion. seriously it's not a big deal really.

Gabrielle_Scott10177 on October 5, 2009 4:44 PM

edward cullen is whipped. kirsten is an horrible annoying actor. eveyone makes a big deal on how hot robert and taylor are there nothing special. at least in vampire diaries there is killing and good looking dudes. iam all for vampire diaries.

Gabrielle_Scott10177 on October 5, 2009 4:49 PM

Vampire Diaries all the way! twilight sucks the vampire diaries book came out before twilight. so it would be twilight who are the copy cats robert and kirsten are annoying actors! boooooo twilight!!!!!

it doesnt matter wat VD says cause that show sucks anyway.

mrs sara black on October 5, 2009 5:00 PM

wow.. i dont mean to make a big deal about this but wow...

i thought it was a lil funny but they shouldnt even joke.. twilight is wayy better and evryone knows it. im not trying to affend any VD followesr, but i dont see millions of vampire diaries fan club website or T-shirts saying "Go team Damon!" or "Go team Stefan"

Seriously.. i know that vampire diaries was technicaly written before twilight... but twilight was on tv before vampire diaries soo its kinda obvious that there gonna try to put twilight down so they look better...
plus twilight had a better plot, writer, and characters... just my opinion

anyways no drama... go team jacob!

Yum yum 14 on October 5, 2009 7:42 PM

sorry to all the VD fans but,TWILIGHT is SOOOOO much better.Yeah,so maybe TWILIGHT copied some but I'ts still better.I mean TWILIGHT explains it better.ROCK ON TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!

Yum yum 14 on October 5, 2009 7:46 PM

sorry VD fans but,TWILIGHT 1,000000Xbetter thanVD.
TWILIGHT explains it better and we all know it .
ROCK ON TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!

teamJasper22 on October 5, 2009 8:50 PM

I dont really think any ones sayng the vampire diaries r copying twilight.

I watched one episode of Vampire Diaries and I was really board. I really think that Vampire Diaries is SOOOOO coping twilight. Sorry vd fans but Twilight ROCKS!!!!!

tokiohoteljaxarce on October 6, 2009 6:36 AM

i think its so funny i like the vampire daiares more than twilight. vampire diares is so not copying twilight!

RPattzlovergirl09 on October 6, 2009 7:54 AM

'Edward is so whipped' Hahahaha. 'How come you don't sparkle??' 'Cause this is the real world and Vampires burn in the sun.' LOL. Damon is funny. I like the vampire diaries and twilight. I'm basically in love with vampires anyway. Tall ones, cute ones, sexy ones, hot ones, mean ones, nice ones- you get the idea.

RPattzlovergirl09 on October 6, 2009 7:57 AM

Uh, Team Jacob 4ever? You sound like a fricking Disney speel. It's just make believe fun. Enjoy it. Don't get so phsycotic about something that 'hopefully because we're humans' doesn't exist.

emohugz122 on October 6, 2009 9:19 AM

I think it's really dumb people are making such a big deal about this. Twilight isn't that great. And BTW, Vampire Diaries is soooo better anyway! I mean, Twilight is just basically: 'Oh Edward, save me.' At least the vampire diaries has a point to it.

emohugz122 on October 6, 2009 9:20 AM

Boo hoo, Twilight fans! Get over it! Seriously! V.D. is so better that Twilight.

isabellamist on October 6, 2009 6:37 PM

i havent seen vamp diaries but i love twilight so hard i think ill wote for TWILIGHT:)

Gyes, this is really just plain wrong! If your going to
say something totally rude, keep your mouth SHUT!!!!
Seriosly vd fans, you don't have to be so rude to the
Twilight fans saying vd is "way" better!!!!!!!

Peace:)

mariclara11 on October 6, 2009 7:46 PM

i totaly love TWILIGHT more i haven't see vampire diares but from what i read i hate it a lot twilight is better

I think that that was absolutely hilarious! But I choose Vampire Diaries because there is more suspence and romance and a darkness and mystery to it.

I think twilight is so awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you guys sayin that vampires diaries are better. need to get a check up, cause they are so totally copying Twilight a human girl an a vampire thats so copied from the Twilight Saga!! An no it was funny cause whoever wrote that is dumb an childish an i think it was one the dudes from that show, their just mad cause their show sucks an Twilight makes millions an millions of dollars : ( poor vampire diaries had to copy a successful movie jus to sell anything!! an just casue a vampire sparkles in the sunlight instead of burns that dont mean they have it all wrong, cause some people dont want their stuuf to be just like everyone elses that jus makes it boring an feel like youve seen it a hundred times.. soo there TWILIGHT FREEAK 101 OUT!!! PEACE OUT AN IF UR A TWILIGHT FAN LIKE ME THEN I LOVE YALL, YALL ARE AWESOME AN NEW MOON IS GOING TO BE FREAKING AMAZING IMMA CRY LIKE A BABY

nickson,
The Vampire Diaries were all written in 1991- 13 years before Twilight! Except The Return: Nightfall. Twilight stole a lot from the books, but granted, Vampire Diaries are stealing a lot of looks from Twilight the movie ex. Stefan Salvatore looks a lot like Edward Cullen.

-Just letting you know. Do some research before you make an accusation.

first of all i dont mean to offend twi fans cause im a team edward but vampire diaries was first and its really cool so stop making so much deal ok if you dont like it don see it! l j smith is one of my favorite writers so back off...!!!!!!!!!!!!

swickedvampire on October 8, 2009 7:57 PM

Vampire Diaries is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much BETTER than Twilight. Damon had the guts last week, on VD, to speak out about Twilight and his opinion. L.J. Smith is my ALL TIME favorite author and she was published before Stephenie Meyer. Everyone just BACK OFF!!!!!!!!

Ditto swickedvampire. Ditto! Oh btw, ur so right!!!

YEAH RIGHT? Twilight is 10 hundred times better than the vampire diaries!!!!! It's soooo much better to shine in the sunlight than to burn!!!! So what? They step outside and a ray of sun hits them and then they burn to death? That's dum!!!=D No offense

ok. Vampire Diaries does not suck. and it so beats TWILIGHT HANDS DOWN. Anyway. Why do you guys have to be so defensive? The books speaks for themselves right? I mean both books are great but each of us have our own different opinions. SO if people love Vampire Diaries back off!

101VampireDiaries101 on January 6, 2010 9:50 PM

Bahaha that was almost the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life!!!(: I love both Twilight and Vampire Diaires but I have to say i kinda like the Vampire Diaries better(:

BellayyCullen1998 on January 7, 2010 4:11 PM

IM A HUGE TWILIGHT FANN ! AND ALWAYS WILL BE AND VAMPIRE DIARIES IS A AMAZING THE BOOK IS GREAT AND I'M A BIG FAN OF VAMPIRE DIARIES IT WAS KIND OF RUDE BUT HONSETLY VERY FUNNY ITS NOT LIKE HE DID IT TO HURT THERE FEELINGS ??

Mrs.DamonSalvatore on January 24, 2010 1:38 PM

OMG! Damon Is So Right! Even Though I Love Twilight (Go Team JACOB), Vampires Just Aren't Suppose To SPARKLE!That's Just So Wrong! And He's Defiantly Right About Bella. Go TEAM DAMON!
