* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Using popular radio hits of the day, sometimes including snippets from the music videos.

->"Listen up. I'm an animation fan; I've seen all sorts of animation in my lifetime. I've watched countless cartoons from every decade, good and bad. The statement I'm about to make....might sound hyperbolic but it's true:
->"Believe me when I say Kidd Video ''is bar none, the absolute craziest, strangest, chaotic cartoon I have '''ever''' seen''. You know [[WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure that Raggedy Ann movie]]? ''This is '''[[UpToEleven weirder]]'''''!"

As with the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'' series, they're also [[TrappedInAnotherWorld ostensibly looking for a way to get back to the real world]]... but not really. The fact that '''everyone''' in the Flip Side loves their music relieves the sting of FailureIsTheOnlyOption.

This cult favorite originally ran from 1984-85 on Creator/{{NBC}} and produced by Creator/DiCEntertainment and Creator/SabanEntertainment (with [[Creator/WangFilmProductions Cuckoo's Nest Studio]] in season 1). It involved a GarageBand who were brought to a [[CloudCuckooland very strange magical land]] called the Flip Side by the evil [[WesternAnimation/PerfectHairForever controller of cats]], [[BigBad Master Blaster]]. Master Blaster wishes to kidnap all the musicians from our world (it's never really explained ''why''; perhaps he had hit upon the idea of using ThePowerOfRock for evil). The band escapes with the help of the [[FairyCompanion good Fairy]], Glitter, and the rest of the series involves them getting into [[AdventureTowns adventures in every city]] and battling Master Blaster and his Copy Cats.

* ForTheEvulz: It's never explained why Master Blaster wanted to kidnap Kidd Video and his band and send them to the Flip Side.

%%* CloudCuckooland: The Flipside.

%%* DisneyAcidSequence: The whole series, really.

%%* FatAndSkinny: Fat Cat and Kool Kitty.

-->'''Master Blaster''': They're getting away!
-->'''Copycat''': Thanks for the news flash, Your Obviousness.
* CatsAreMean: Actually, the Copy Cats are just {{Punch Clock Villain}}s. Master Blaster is the real meanie.

* {{Transflormation}}: One episode has Carla and Ash turned into plants.

* {{Animesque}}: The intro for season 1 and season 2 as a whole have shades of this, as per the norm of [=DiC=] cartoons of the time.

* CuteBruiser: Glitter gains super-strength (enough to ''toss buildings around'') any time she sneezes.

Compare ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}''. An extensive website, with episode guides, is maintained by [[http://www.kvflipside.org/ Toolbot,]] who has also been kind enough to upload [[http://www.youtube.com/user/toolbot several episodes]] to Website/YouTube. Which is good, because trying to describe the show is nothing compared to actually watching it.
