And that is the OpeningNarration of this obscure, short-lived 2007 Canadian AllCGICartoon produced by Decode Entertainment (now part of Creator/WildBrain) for Creator/{{YTV}} and Creator/{{Jetix}} Europe, and created by Diana Arruda and Tim Thompson. The show's stars, Abe and Ken (voiced by Creator/GabePlener and Creator/ScottMcCord, respectively), are two raccoon brothers who had shared the boundless garbage to be found in the dumpsters of The Block, the backstreets and alleyways of an unnamed human town. Dissatisfied with this arrangement, Ken seized control of The Block and all its trash. He quickly made himself The Block's dictator with two loyal henchmen at his side - a rat named No-Neck (Creator/YannickBisson) who serves as general of his rodent army and an opossum named Zitzy (Creator/AdamReid) who works as his chief scientist.

* AffectionateParody: The series is basically a PlayedForLaughs take on war movies with much lower stakes.
* TheBigGuy: Nigel serves this role for the GLF.
* CainAndAbel: Abe and Ken, with Abe being the heroic brother and Ken being the villainous one. Their rivalry is a central part of the series.
* TheCaligula: Ken. He's a colossal {{Jerkass}} and a SpoiledBrat who seized control of The Block because he didn't want to share its garbage with his brother, and he confides in a plastic flamingo.
* CloudCuckoolander: Madman's defining trait is his loopiness, which is described as his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.
* CompanionCube: Ken's flamingo scepter Penelope. He even dines and dances with it.
* GadgeteerGenius: Coco. Her thesis project was a time machine... that takes the user half a second into the past or future.
* MouseWorld: The Block is one of these, with the whole conflict taking place entirely in the streets and alleyways of a human town.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The GLF. What else do you call a squad made up of a RascallyRaccoon, a WrenchWench flying squirrel, a hulking mole, and a crazy skunk that are fighting for freedom and garbage?
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: While set in the backdrop of an otherwise human-dominated world, The Block and its denizens are all various kinds of rodents and small mammals.
* WrenchWench: Coco is the mechanic of the GLF and the sole female member of the team.
* YouDirtyRat: Ken's {{mooks}} are all rats.
