1''Cartoon Dump'' was a web series and its corresponding live comedy show created by animation historian Jerry Beck and Frank Conniff of Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 fame. The show is a SaturdayMorningKidsShow parody set in a garbage dump. ExcitedKidsShowHost Compost Brite and her friends, usually Moodsy the Clinically Depressed Owl, present an obscure and terrible cartoon. The web series was put on hold after six episodes.

13##An obscure and terrible cartoon that takes up the bulk of the episode
14##Compost Brite and her co-host comment on the cartoon.
15* SpoofAesop: Some of the lessons taught include mediocrity pays off in the end and starve yourself even if you haven't eaten in days.
16%%* SubvertedKidsShow: The show constantly employs BlackComedy, most notably Moodsy's depression being PlayedForLaughs.
17* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Apparently, at one point Moodsy told kids to disembowel themselves so they can send him their liver. He got a lot of letters from angry parents.
