11	Released by Spin Master in 2017, ''Flush Force'' is a blind-bagged toyline of gross objects and creatures. Forgotten and flushed away into the sewers, the Flushies were mutated and came to life, and are ready to wreak havoc on the surface world.
12
13	Unlike many blind bag toys, ''Flush Force'' has a special “Flush to reveal” opening gimmick. Sold in toilet-shaped containers, the tank cover is opened up to be filled with water. The whole container is then shook, breaking the dissolvable paper that hides the Flushies, revealing them in the bowl.
14
15	A StopMotion webseries on Website/YouTube also exists for the series, along with an app that plays similar to [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Pokémon-Amie]].
16	----
17	!! ''Flush Force'' provides examples of:
18	* AnimateBodyParts: The Putrid Parts family is made up of living body parts.
19	* AnimateInanimateObject: Some of the families of Flushies are made up of teams that were originally inanimate objects before being mutated. These include the Dump Divers (non-recyclable garbage), the Street Freaks (road safety objects), and the Clean Freaks (cleaning supplies).
20	* AnthropomorphicFood: The Flushie families of the Grimy Grubs (produce) and the Mean Munchies (fast food) are mutated pieces of food.
21	* ApologisesALot: Funky Skunky, due to her farting issues, is crippled with insecurity, constantly apologizing after she causes others to scatter.
22	* BatOutOfHell: Subverted with Night Terror and Bat Bit Crazy, two kindly, if not a bit spooky, bats. They’re both a bit loopy, to the point that even on the ground, they prefer to be upside-down. Night Terror is also the first Flushie to accept Funky Skunky as a friend.
23	* BerserkButton: Flushies have a spot that they love to be petted, and one they hate to be petted. Pet the spot they hate, and they'll angrily snap at you, while their happiness meter refuses to fill up.
24	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: On the topic of Road Rash’s birthday cake in “A Bridge Too Fart”:
25	-->'''Porcuplant:''' Are you turds gonna get over here or what? It’s Road Rash’s birthday, and we’re just about to cut the cheese! I mean, cake. I mean…cheesecake?
26	* BucketHelmet: Croco Bile and Chomp Bucket both wear buckets on top of their heads.
27	* CatsHateWater: Subverted with Kitty Cast and Cat Fish, two mermaid cats that are part of the Foul Floaters family.
28	* CatsHaveNineLives: In reference to this is the Gruesome Twosome member 18 Lives, a two-headed cat.
29	* CreepyCockroach: Roach Coach is a disgusting neon green cockroach.
30	* {{Cyclops}}: A large amount of Flushies are mutated to have only one eye.
31	* DisgustingPublicToilet: The hub to get out of the sewers is a slimy toilet.
32	* EggshellClothing: Beak Freak and Turd Bird are two-headed birds still wearing their eggshell half on their bottoms.
33	* ExtraEyes: Various Flushies, such as Porcuplant, Foul Growl, and Fright Lights, along with their variants, have more than two eyes.
34	* FriendlyPlayfulDolphin: Capt-Fin and Flippy Blowhole are two cheerful inner tube-wearing dolphins that sport an eyepatch.
35	* {{Gasshole}}: Funky Skunky, fitting of her being a skunk. Her stinky farts are strong enough to make flowers wilt. Despite this, Night Terror and Face Palm are the only two that seem to be able to stand her stench, Night Terror more than Face Palm.
36	* GrossoutShow: The toyline is heavily immersed in grossness, the webseries even more.
37	* HehHehYouSaidX: Croco Bile, when he meets Skid Roll:
38	-->'''Croco Bile:''' Whoa! It's talking, it's talking!\
39	'''Skid Roll:''' The name's Skid Roll, and you're a talking crocodile. Whoop-de-freakin'-doo doo.\
40	'''Croco Bile:''' Ha-hah, you said "doo doo".
41	* HulkSpeak: Log Jammer has a broken and simplistic speech pattern.
42	* IronicFear: Monstrous Maggot, despite being a garbage-living maggot, is TerrifiedOfGerms.
43	* LetsMeetTheMeat:
44	** Pooperoni, a slice of mutant pizza that resembles a scorpion, has pizza as his favorite food in the app.
45	** In the app as well, Rotten Core, a mutant apple, has apples has his favorite food.
46	* ManEatingPlant: The Mean Greens family is made up of living and snappy plants.
47	* MessyMaggots: Monstrous Maggot subverts this trope. Despite being a maggot living in a dump, he is very fussy, and a giant [[TerrifiedOfGerms germaphobe]], explicitly preferring his garbage to be "clean and tidy".
48	* MultipleHeadCase: The Gruesome Twosome family is made up of animals with two heads.
49	* PaletteSwap: Each Flushie has two different color palettes for their mold. Unlike many other blind bag toys, however, each color is treated as its own character, instead of just a repeat of the same.
50	* PurpleIsPowerful: If the toilet water turns purple for the toy, that means a limited edition Putrid Parts Flushie is in the bowl, some of the rarest ones with the highest worth.
51	* RaginCajun: The aptly named Ragin’ Cagin’, a crab that presents himself as ultra-tough, but he’s actually hiding nervousness and a not-so-bright personality.
52	* RascallyRaccoon: Foul Growl and Rubbish Raccoon are both three-eyed raccoons. Foul Growl in particular has a tendency to stake his claim as leader wherever he ends up.
53	* RiseToTheChallenge: The "Toilet Plunge" game has the player guiding their Flushie up a wall via bouncing, as a rising wave of slime goes up the screen. It can be passed up, but lag too much on a single obstacle, and it will reach the player.
54	* SeriesMascot: Croco Bile is commonly used as the lead Flushie.
55	* SewerGator: Croco Bile and Chomp Bucket are two sewer-living alligators with buckets on their heads.
56	* ShoutOut:
57	** One of the snakes hiding inside of a parking meter is named [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Money Python]].
58	** One of the living traffic cones is named [[Film/TopGun Danger Cone]]. He sings a parody of the song in the episode “A Bridge Too Fart”.
59	** One of the flies is named [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Farty [=McFly=]]].
60	** For a stealth shout-out, in the app, Skid Roll, a mutated toilet paper roll, has [[Film/{{Caddyshack}} candy bars]] for his favorite food.
61	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1iIHIvKZpI One of the commercials]] inexplicably uses Greaseburger and Dodgey Donut from ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'' as set dressing, despite the fact that the two franchises are from separate companies.
62	* {{ShipTease}}:
63	** In "Home is Where the Fart Is", Funky Skunky's fart cloud forms a heart shape when it hits Night Terror, appearing to "kiss" his nose. He is the only one to not to reel back at all from her stench.
64	** In the same episode, Kitty Cast and Mean Steamed are seen cuddling each other on a bench.
65	* ShrinkingViolet: Funky Skunky, due to her stench causing others to flee in terror, is horribly crippled with anxiety, with a quiet and squeaky voice to match.
66	* SlimeSnailsAndMutantTails: The whole toyline consists of gross creatures in sludgy toilets.

68	* TerrifiedOfGerms: Monstrous Maggot, despite being a maggot living in a junkyard, is a huge germaphobe that prefers his garbage to be clean and tidy.
69	* ToiletHumour: The whole franchise is made up of toilet jokes, with tons of fart, burp, and vomit jokes to go around.
70	* ToiletTeleportation: How the Flushies travel, they use the toilets as their escape ports from the sewers.
71	* ToxicWasteCanDoAnything: A toxic leak in the sewers is what mutated the Flushies into what they are.
72	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Each Flushie has a favorite food in the app to feed them. These options include chicken legs, apples, candy bars, carrots, French fries, sandwiches, pizza, cake, fish, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick socks]].
73	* ValleyGirl: Porcuplant speaks in this dialect, but she’s less of a ditz, more of a snarker.
74	* VegetarianCarnivore: In the app, Twin Grin, a two-headed shark, has apples as their favorite food, despite fish being an option in the game.
75	* VomitChainReaction: In the ending of the episode “Party 'Til You Puke”, this is set off when Upchuck Duck pukes from a harsh swimming landing. However, this is only because [[spoiler:he ate bad tacos, which Monstrous Maggot had been eating on the entire time, while he overheard what happened]].
76	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Rubber Chucky and Upchuck Duck are constantly-puking rubber ducks.
