1An Eighties cartoon about the titular Barbarian and his adventuring group traveling and fighting evil, often in a violent and brutal fashion.

3Like ''JustForFun/SpaceHeroes'' and ''JustForFun/SuperRoboMechaForceFive'', this show does not really exist and is based off the fictitious show in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012''.

6!!Tropes in this show:
7* AffectionateParody: Of ''WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian'', although there's also some references to ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/GaltarAndTheGoldenLance''. As a whole, it can be seen as an AffectionateParody of the more violent Eighties Cartoons.
8* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to JustForFun/SpaceHeroes and JustForFun/SuperRoboMechaForceFive, it's a lot more cynical and mean-spirited. Most of the time it's just Crognard beating people up for petty reasons... to the point that our first seen intro involves the three "heroes" attacking a peaceful village of Slug People for the crime of offering them good tidings and free food.
9* DesignatedHero: '''Crognard''' is nothing more than a psychotic bully who wanders the world attacking anyone he sees.
10* GainaxEnding: In "Dinosaur In The Sewers", the show has Crognard getting eaten by the dragon Wigglepuff, and the show ends, much to the rage of the Turtles. When they find out that this is the canonical last episode of the show, it's treated as an InUniverse DownerEnding -- to outside viewers, it looks more like a case of KarmicDeath.
