* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicKey'': "The Cream Cake Mystery" connects poetry to rapping for seemingly no reason other than to be "hip" to the show's audience.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': Ella’s "cool" cousin Herbie peppers his speech with odd vernacular that seems to resemble hippie slang mixed with a bit of SurferDude lingo, which for a show made in the ''2000s'' is, as Herbie would say, “so bogus”. (Interestingly, he never actually says the word “radical”.)

* ''WesternAnimation/QuackPack'', a mid-90s reboot of Huey, Dewey and Louie, stated, in that obnoxious talking bubble-tape voice, that "they're not kids anymore. They're EXTREME TEENS!!!!" Followed by one of the ducklings riding a skateboard saying "Ex-treme!"

trope about IU colorism now


** In a very transparent attempt to not make Spyke seem "[[ButNotTooBlack urban]]," the writers had him using all sorts of skater lingo.

* While most of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' were no strangers to using slang that is now considered dated, the one major stand-out is their last recurring character, [[http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/Cool_Cat Cool Cat,]] who reflected on the beatnik culture of the time and frequently used terms like "groovy" and "baby". Because of this, and his LimitedAnimation art style, he's considered even more dated than Bugs or Daffy despite debuting nearly 20 years later. As a result, he's seldom used today.

** And the eighties series also had the Neutrinos, the "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X," who spoke with a slang that was even more Totally Radical and was based on teens from the fifties rather than contemporary surfers like the Turtles.

* ''WesternAnimation/OscarsOrchestra'' episode "Back To Bach" introduces Ken The Keyboard, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBQ4gEkVjsg&t=387s who really must be seen to be believed]]. Interestingly, instead of being the product of clueless writers attempting to appeal to kids and failing miserably, Ken was actually created ''by'' a kid who won a [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent "design your own character"]] competition on Series/BluePeter.

** Gilda from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E5GriffonTheBrushOff Griffon the Brush Off]]" was this so bad that it ''hurt''. It's quite possible Rainbow Dash learned this from her, since she talked in ''nothing but Totally Radical'' for the entirety of her episode (complete with guitar riffs). Of course, since the viewers were [[HateSink supposed to dislike her]], it actually worked out.

Michelan Sisti was Mikey's suit actor. He voice actor was Robbie Rist


** [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 The 2012 series]] varies. Mikey is the most likely turtle to delve into it, but thief Anton Zeck [[spoiler:the future Bebop]] really takes the Totally Radical cake. Later, the character of Mondo Gecko is introduced, who sounds and acts a lot like his 80s counterpart, but it's {{justified|Trope}} as he is being deliberately old-school. He's also voiced by Michelan Sisti, who voiced Mikey in the 90s movies.
