5 | '''Tagline:''' The Nostalgia Critic takes a look at an anti-drug cartoon special from 1990, titled ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue''. |
6 | |
7 | !!This review contains examples of: |
8 | * ActorAllusion: After being disappointed by a one-liner from Smoke, the Critic dubs a speech from ''Film/{{Patton}}'' into Smoke's dialogue, since both characters were played by Creator/GeorgeCScott. |
9 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: At the end of the review: |
10 | --> '''Critic''': ...You know what the {{Irony}} is? [[{{Hypocrite}} I think most of these cartoon characters were on drugs LONG before this special came out.]] I mean look at 'em: Garfield's always hungry, Pooh's happy as hell, Daffy's hyped up on speed, and Michelangelo... well ''listen'' to him! ''(footage of Michelangelo saying, "Your brain must be like ''really'' messed up.")'' I even think our beloved president smoked a doobie before he came out. I mean look at him! ''(footage of George H.W. Bush staring at Barbara as she speaks)'' He's looking at Barbara's head like it's a giant cheeseburger. |
11 | * {{Anvilicious}}[[invoked]]: The Critic gets annoyed at all the characters pounding in the anti-drug message: |
12 | --> '''Critic:''' So, okay, what exactly are these cartoon characters trying to tell us?\ |
13 | '''Baby Kermit:''' There's nothing cool about a fool on drugs!\ |
14 | '''Critic:''' Eh, fair enough, I guess. So the next time--\ |
15 | '''Bugs Bunny:''' What's ''up'', doc, is your ''life'', if you don't cut it out!\ |
16 | '''Critic:''' Okay.\ |
17 | '''Michaelangelo:''' You're excellent just the way you are!\ |
18 | '''Critic:''' Got it.\ |
19 | '''Alf:''' We don't always see things the way they are.\ |
20 | '''Critic:''' Okay, I--\ |
21 | '''Huey, Duey, and Louie:''' Just believe in yourself!\ |
22 | '''Critic:''' Well--\ |
23 | '''Miss Piggy:''' We care about you!\ |
24 | '''Critic:''' Well, maybe--\ |
25 | '''Bugs Bunny:''' Everyone's got problems, kid.\ |
26 | '''Critic:''' Yeah--\ |
27 | '''Huey:''' Why don't you just say "no"?\ |
28 | '''Critic:''' ''Got it.''\ |
29 | '''Bugs Bunny:''' You gotta ''believe'' in yourself!\ |
30 | '''Critic:''' Will you shut up?!\ |
31 | '''Miss Piggy:''' Listen to us!\ |
32 | '''Critic:''' Yeah, I ''heard'' you.\ |
33 | '''Alf:''' You use, you LOSE!\ |
34 | '''Critic''': OKAY!!! GOD!!! You know, I thought this would be really cool, but you know what? This really blows! All my cartoon characters are fuckin' narcs! I mean, for crying out loud, how many times do you have to hammer this shit in?! |
35 | * CluelessAesop: |
36 | -->'''Critic:''' So what message are kids supposed to take from this special? That if they smoke weed, all their favorite cartoon characters would appear? [[SarcasmMode Yeah, that's a top notch moral right there.]] |
37 | * DrivenToSuicide: During the "Million Zillion Wonderful Ways to Say No" musical number. |
38 | * EscalatingPunchline: |
39 | -->'''Critic:''' Corey thinks about telling her father, but he's too busy being an alcoholic... and gay... and the Brawny man. |
40 | * JumpOffABridgeRebuttal: The Critic's response to a clip from the special: |
41 | -->'''Bugs Bunny:''' If everyone was jumping off a cliff, would ''you'' go too?\ |
42 | '''Critic:''' Maybe after seeing ''this'' shit! |
43 | * TheStinger: After the "TheEnd" screen, the video concludes with [[WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks Simon]] saying "marijuana," in somewhat of a precursor to the Website/ChannelAwesome {{Vanity Plate}}s that would appear later on in the series. |
44 | * ThisExplainsSoMuch: "If the Looney Tunes know what drugs are, then that...just explains TOO GODDAMN MUCH!" |
45 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: |
46 | ** When the special opens with a speech from then-President UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush: |
47 | --->'''Critic:''' ''(excited)'' Oh my God, George Bush is starting this thing off!\ |
48 | ''({{beat}})''\ |
49 | '''Critic:''' ''(less excited)'' Oh my God... George Bush is starting this thing off. [[TakeThat That can't be good.]] |
50 | ** When the Critic finally reveals the core premise of the special: |
51 | --> '''Critic:''' All our favorite cartoon characters that we grew up with are coming together to talk to us about... drugs. ''(pause)'' This is going to be a long half-hour. |
