''AKA Cult Toons'' was an experimental comedy show that aired on Cartoon Network UK between 1999 to 2000. The show used episodes of old Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons and interspersed them with random clips ranging from blaxplotation films, kung fu movies and other cartoons in a style commonly likened to YouTubePoop, [[UnbuiltTrope years before it hit the Internet.]] The show was hosted by Jackie Potato, a blaxplotation {{Expy}} of Dexter from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''. It also had guest host appearances including the likes of professional wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage and the London Towers basketball team.

!!''Cult Toons'' provides examples of:
* {{Blaxploitation}}: Many clips the show uses derive from the genre.
* CensoredForComedy: Sometimes, certain portions of dialogue are bleeped in the clips to make it diriter than they originally were (which was done more frequently in ''Funky Phantom Menace'').
* {{Expy}}: Jackie Potato is [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter]] given a {{Blaxploitation}} style with the stereotypes turned up to eleven.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Usually in the form of combining a Hanna-Barbera character with an outside reference. e.g. Captain Majors Lonely Hearts Club Band.
* RunningGag: One of the chief sources of humour from the show.
** Certain uses of StockFootage (see below) count.
** The intro sequence or a brief clip from ''WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow'' playing briefly, only for Andy Lebeau to [[TakeThat invariably get blown to smithereens]]. Sometimes followed by a test pattern accompanied by the words:
--->[[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties PLEASE STAND BY AS WE ARE EXPERIENCING GARY COLEMAN DIFFICULTIES]]
* StockFootage: Many clips are reused in different episodes – some more often than others.
** From ''WesternAnimation/Birdman1967'':
*** "'''[[BigNo No!]]'''"
*** "In the Andes, directly over a tall mountain…"
*** "Direct hit!"

* ParodyProductPlacement: Each episode is sponsored by a fictional company from Hanna-Barbera/MGM shows (such as Stoner, Stoner and Pyrite Agency, CooCoo Cola).
* TakeThat: As mentioned under RunningGag, the creators ''really'' have it out for ''WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow''.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: Or rather, We Are Experiencing [[WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow Gary Coleman]] Difficulties, as mentioned under RunningGag and TakeThat.
