Toonville is a fanfiction series made by LordryuTJ, started as the first fanfiction done by Lordryu, back in 2009. This show follows a crossover update, so when a good-enough cartoon comes during the series, that show is (sometimes) updated into Toonville. The show is a huge crossover overall with shows like Family Guy, Total Drama, Regular Show and so on from Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon, FOX, Disney, and more cartoon brands. This show is listed in the page for Lordryu TJ.
So far, there are four major versions of Toonville:
- The original (made in 2009; 2 seasons, one finished, show officially cancelled in 2010)
- The New Series (started in 2011; originally confirmed as 5-season fanfiction, but cancelled in favor of the 2013 revival)
- The Official 2013 Reboot (in progress, first season confirmed, as well as pseudo-flashback episodes (episodes from before the "airing" of the first official episode)
- In The Making (based on the original series; cancelled officially in 2010)
Toonville is one of various mega crossovers made by LordryuTJ, others being Total Cartoon Island (possibly cancelled), Toonville Wrestling Entertainment (cancelled) and Ultimate Crossover Wrestling (to be repackaged as Unified Universal Wrestling Federation).
This fanfic series, in short provides examples of:
- Anyone Can Die: Mostly in the original Toonville, but rarer in Toonville: The Remake. It isn't permanent, though.
- This trope is activated in most of the story Welcome to the Showdown.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Peter breaks it sometimes.
- Butt-Monkey: Peter Griffin at times, and usually Lumpy.
- Owen falls into this category from time to time.
- Death Amnesia: Deaths are barely mentioned after the episode they happen in.
- Death Is Not Permanent
- Jerkass: Duncan from Total Drama.
- Mega Crossover: The obvious idea here in Toonville.
- Proud to Be a Geek: Cody, Harold, Phineas and sometimes Flippy.
- Coincidentally, Flippy is voiced by Nathan Kress, who portrays Freddie Benson on iCarly, who is also a technial Geek.
- Rapid-Fire Comedy
- Spin-Off: Toonville in the Making, Toonville, the Remake! and 7 Minutes in Heaven: Toonville Edition all spin off of the original Toonville.
- Darker and Edgier: While the original show started off T-rated, and went up to M, before The New Series brought it back to a T rating, this version of Toonville is slightly edgier than the original, featuring more sexual content, and some uncensored language.
- Five-Man Band:
- The Hero / The Heart: Flippy.
- The Lancer: Lumpy.
- The Smart Guy / Tagalong Kid: Twilight Sparkle or, again, Flippy.

- The Sixth Ranger: Spike, Applejack and/or Trixie.
- Headbutting Heroes: Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Peter Griffin in the pilot short.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rainbow Dash and, to a lesser extent, Trixie.
- Obligatory Swearing: The My Little Ponies normally wouldn't swear like a regular human in Friendship is Magic. They're in Toonville now, so cares what they say anymore?
- Official Couple: Rainbow Dash and Spike.
- Only Sane Toon: Flippy and Twilight Sparkle are pretty normal, unlike most of their friends.
- Opening Narration: Flippy does one at the beginning and inverted at times in the terms of the ending in any episode.
- Put on a Bus: Lordryu confirmed that Flaky left Toonville in a previous, not-yet-created season.
- Setting Update: Toonville was originally set as a single city; now it's an entire country, and West Toonville is the main setting.
- Shout-Out: A chunk of the pilot episode is based off of a Man With 11 Toes video.
- The theme song used in this version of Toonville was previously a theme for Monday Night Raw (Papa Roach's To Be Loved).
- Lumpy occasionally calls out Santa Christ's name when the time calls for it.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Rainbow Dash doesn't mean to brag about this...

- Brian: What... the... fu—(episode ends)
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Noah in Final Procrastination.
- Jet Pack: One is bought by Peter in Toons Daily. It causes an airplane a while after Peter got it.
- Losing Your Head: Tyler lost half of his head.
- No Theme Tune: This is done considering the fact that Lordryu can't really make an original song come out of his brain. Plus, it saves time and pages.
- Lordryu planned on using the ICarly theme song, but he advised against it.
- Setting Update
- Shout-Out: Ezekiel's death in Final Procrastination is similar to Terry's in the first Final Destination movie.

- Death by Mocking: In a literal way, Owen is mocked and called Connie after throwing Izzy's ball. He explodes afterward. By screaming rage. This scene is found in this chapter.
- Everybody's Dead, Dave: Not everybody, but most of the cast in TDA Returns. That is, because Dr. Doofenshmirtz is controlling the set, and the invitations were a trick to come to the booby-trapped place.
- In The Pizza Problem, much of the cast present died because of either Chef, where he threw a bottle, causing a small chain reaction. or Panini, who started the fire by hitting a candle, or something.
- Maybe there's a chance The Pizza Problem's plot will be set for a Final Destination parody in The New Series.
- In the third episode of the New Series was a Final Destination parody, so yeah.
- The Pizza Problem was never mentioned in that episode, though.
