History WesternAnimation / SecretMountainFortAwesome

* DerangedAnimation: Though considering Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime recent]] [[RegularShow efforts,]] this shouldn't come as a surprise.

** In "Funstro", Fart tries to calm down a toothache-ridden Festro by singing the opening lines of MrBelvedere.

Still, for all the collective venom being spewed at this show, it's worth pointing out that it went on to pick up several prestigious animation awards (more so in its short run than the network's flagship shows ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' ever achieved), and eventually led to Browngardt getting his original ''Uncle Grandpa'' concept off the ground and onto our TV screens. Whether you think that's impressive or a sign of Cartoon Network's descent into mediocrity is up for debate.

* GrossOutShow: Taken UpToEleven
** Actually subverted, the designs of the show seem to be this but otherwise it's surprisingly tame and focuses more on the humor of the characters rather then obligatory [[GrossUpCloseUp Gross-Up Close-Ups]].

The show takes it's humour and art style from Pete Browngardt's ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' pilot for Cartoonstitute. Unfortunately, its' [[RefugeInAudacity rowdy, over-the-top humour]] struggled to find an audience and plans for a second season (which was already in production) were scrapped, with only half of the first series actually broadcast. Browngardt has since admitted the show was the result of ExecutiveMeddling: following the network's plan to age up their programming from TV-Y7 to TV-PG, the bigwigs at CN saw potential in the monster characters - some of them early prototypes of the Disgustoids - from ''Uncle Grandpa'' and approached Browngardt to develop a series about them. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Needless to say, they were baffled with the finished product]] and immediately declared it a flop.

* FantasticRacism: Most of the humans in the show treat the Disgustoids like second class citizens, which justifies the show's main conflict.

* GrotesqueGallery: Naturally, the Disgustoids fall into this, but that's nothing to how the humans are drawn.

* "Labyrinth" is an episode-long AffectionateParody of the film.

* GrotesqueGallery: The Disgustoids, naturally. Even the designs for most of the humans qualify as well.

The brainchild of cartoonist & animator Pete Browngardt (whose previous credits include ''{{Futurama}}'', ''{{Chowder}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'') and broadcast on Cartoon Network, this short-lived toon covers the misadventures of five monsters - known collectively as Disgustoids - who live in an underground mountain (the titular fort of the series) and generally cause mischief either among themselves or with the people on the surface world while trying to fit in with them. To put it lightly, HILARITY ENSUES!

''Secret Mountain Fort Awesome'' contains the following tropes:

* GrotesqueGallery: The Disgustoids, naturally. Even the designs for some of the humans qualify as a result of the show's art style.

* MediumBlending: This show mixes hand-drawn animation with cut-out photography.

* XMeetsY: ComicBook/XMen meets Franchise/GarbagePailKids with a side order of Magazine/MAD and Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus.

For all the (one-sided) hatred being spewed at this show, it went on to pick up several awards (more so in such a short amount of time than the network's flagship shows ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' ever achieved), and eventually led to Browngardt getting his original ''Uncle Grandpa'' concept off the ground and onto our TV screens.

Still, it wasn't all bad: following its' brief run the show went on to pick up several awards (more so in such a short amount of time than the network's flagship shows ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' ever achieved), and eventually led to Browngardt getting his original ''Uncle Grandpa'' concept off the road.
