* OmnicidialManiac: Mok's last concert didn't ''entirely'' sell out, so he's trying to open a portal to Hell (or somewhere very like it) and summon at least one demon to ravage the earth, whether out of revenge or a desire for attention. His first attempt at Carnage Hall leads to a massive number of innocent deaths, but it fails, so he plans to do it ''again''.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: When the very child-minded Zip watches an Uncle Mikey cartoon about how you should be good instead of evil, he asks Mok if what they're doing is evil. Mok's response is to say they've grown beyond such concerns, and justifies it with some [[InsaneTrollLogic sketchy logic]]--"evil spelled backwards is 'live' and we all want to do that!" It's also worth nothing Mok is ''high off his ass'' when explaining this, so the extent to which he actually believes what he's saying is questionable.

* TakeOurWordForIt: Mok's first demon-summoning concert [[GoneHorriblyWrong is a disaster]] that destroys Carnage Hall and is implied to kill alot of people. Presumably actually ''showing'' it would've broken the budget, since all we get are news reports and Mok complaining after the fact.

** What’s-Her-Face, in a way that overlaps with mild BodyHorror.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Cindy. Her [[TopHeavyGuy size]] is played for comedy, but she’s still presented as cute and likeable.

* BluffingTheAuthorities: Attempted by Omar, Stretch and Dizzy upon arriving at a Nuke York City checkpoint. The entire city is closed to inbound traffic while the electric grid is down. Omar claims that he's a lawman bringing scientists to correct the problem. The LanternJawOfJustice patrolman isn't fooled, and arrests all three. This actually gets them into Nuke York, though they have to be bailed out of jail.

--->'''Mok:''': [[InsultBackfire Thank you]]. Shall we?

-->'''Angel''': "You-you're totally crazy!"\\
'''Mok''': (completely unfazed): "Thank you. Shall we see them off?"

* LooksLikeOrlok: What’s-Her-Face.

* MasterOfDisguise: Ms. Whats-her-face, a withered mutant who [[spoiler: Mok hires to impersonate Angel so Omar thinks she's willingly helping Mok.]] She’s virtually a PG version of Jane Doe from ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumLivingHell.

** Mok Swagger. Not only is it an obvious parody of the name "Music/MickJagger", but it sounds like “mock swagger”- ie, false cool/sexiness, which fits a decrepit egomaniac.

-->'''Mok''': "You're a very clever girl, I've enjoyed your little game, but tonight, the game is mine!"

-->'''Cindy''': You know, it's just like Toad says: "There's wackos out there just waiting for sweet young things like you!"

-->'''Quadhole:''' "That's a 419. B and F. Bathing felony. You're lucky I'm not running you in for a 431. Improper swimwear."

'''Sleazy:''' [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench I just love it when he speaks French.]]

* SealedEvilInAnotherDimension: TheVillain Mok succeeds in summoning a demon from another dimension through a pentagram in the stage floor. Fortunately, Omar and Angel are able to dispel the demon, and it retreats back to its home dimension. Mok ends up being tossed into the pentagram hole as well. He makes one desperate effort to crawl back out, baffled as to how his demon was defeated, before losing his grip and plummeting into the depths of the alternate dimension. Mok and his demon can play canasta there, perhaps.

** Another example: in the Canadian Cut, the OpeningMonologue says Mok is attempted to decipher "an ancient Satanic code" to put his plans into motion, while in the Theatrical Cut, they excise the mention of Satanism.

* ILoveNuclearPower: It killed humanity but managed to evolve several species of animal into intelligent humanoids.

* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: A mutant that bleeds to death and [[BodyHorror melts]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment afterwards]] has these. Possibly for maximum {{Squick}} factor.
* VillainSong: 'My Name Is Mok' and its attendant DisneyAcidSequence. Thoughout the movie snippets of Mok's other songs can be heard as well - all just as egotistical - though "My Name Is Mok" is the only one with a sequence dedicated to it.

* VillainSong: "My name is Mok thanks alot".

* AnAesop: Too much pride is dangerous and will cause people to do terrible things. The BigBad Mok sees himself AboveGoodAndEvil and is so self-absorbed he believes anyone who does not enjoy his music deserves death. Omar meanwhile has a huge ego, desiring to be the center of attention and throwing tantrums when others get it, even when it is his girlfriend. Unlike Mok though, [[CharacterDevelopment Omar learns to be humble]] and realize he should share the spotlight with Angel to both better his career and especially save their relationship.
** Mok also demonstrates that someone who believes in GreyAndGreyMorality can be just as insane and ruthless as someone with BlackAndWhiteMorality.

In this gloriously insane animated film from Canada (the first English language one entirely produced within that country, done by Creator/{{Nelvana}}), a [[EvilSorcerer dark magician]] and aging rock star's wicked plan to summon a [[EldritchAbomination grotesque demon]] is thwarted by {{Beast M|an}}en who sing [[ThePowerOfRock early '80s rock music]] about ThePowerOfLove.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Mok's never-heard full name is [[Music/TheRollingStones Mok Swagger]].

* BrawnHilda: Cinderella Schlepper, who is only different from her equally-brickhouse-sized brothers in terms of design by her voice, hair, and outfit with a skirt so short that it's a PantyShot overload.

* PantyShot: There are none of these, as it's easier to describe when you ''can't'' see Cindie's underwear.

* BlandNameProduct: Fold, Disa, Nuke York, Carnage Hall (Car-NAH-Gee).

** Mok brainwashes Omar, Dizzy and Stretch in his mansion with the Edison balls, then again when they try to rescue Angel.
** Omar believes Angel is under some kind of mental compulsion after she appears to be happily snuggling up with aging, unattractive Mok. [[spoiler: She's not. Mok hired a mutant called "Whatserface" to pretend to be Angel to try to make Omar give up]].

* DogFaces: All of the characters look like humans with canine muzzles, just slightly smaller than the Disney model. Canonically they are meant to be the evolved descendants of dogs, cats and rats mutated by radiation.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Zip (though in the original Canadian version, it's not permanent)]] takes a shot for Omar. Toad, overcome by grief, turns on Mok.

* EvilIsNotWell-Lit: Up until roughly a quarter into the film, Mok is shown in darkness. All we can see of him is a vauge outline of his body, with only his eyes and hands visible.

* BanishingRitual: Songstress Angel was exploited by Mok to summon a towering monster from another dimension. Free of TheVillain's MindControl, Angel stands her ground: "If I can sing it up, I can sing it back." This doesn't seem to work, as Mok snarks, "The girl can't sing it back; no one can." It turns out that once Omar joins Angel in a duet, the monster recoils as though sprayed with HollywoodAcid, and retreats into its hole, not to be seen again.
