5	[[http://blip.tv/dark-side-of-the-toon Dark Side of the Toon]] is an [[WebOriginal Internet]] review show, similar to the shows on Website/ChannelAwesome. But, instead of reviewing nostalgic movies to see just how bad they were, the host, Tooch, has taken it upon himself to review [[WesternAnimation animated tv shows]] that have come out since 2010, in an attempt to introduce us to a side of animation that we may not be familiar with.

19	----
20	!!This show provides discusses and provides examples of:
21	* BigNo
22	-->'''Tooch:''' Sorry little guy, your love for Rarity is...nothing more than a mere running gag.
23	-->'''Spike:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
24	* CharacterDevelopment: Rarity starts the series as "fairly useless," but eventually "develops as a character and makes for some great comedy."
25	* CutAwayGag: Tooch gives ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' a run for their money.
26	* DarkIsNotEvil: The show's title. Here "dark" refers to unknown, rather than bad.
27	* DigitalPiracyIsEvil
28	-->'''Tooch:''' I will never support piracy on this show, if only because the stuff I'm reviewing is brand new and needs support. If no one supports it, it might not get a second season. Except...[[{{Metaphorgotten}} the shows that are bad, probably don't deserve a second season]]..."
29	* ExecutiveMeddling: {{Invoked}} as the only reason Princess Celestia is a "princess", rather than a queen.
30	* {{Expy}}: "Kick's obnoxious older brother [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Terrence]] - I mean Brad."
31	* FlatWhat: Tooch's initial reaction to ''Friendship Is Magic''.
32	* LiteralMetaphor: [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic The magical]] PowerOfFriendship can make for some "powerful pony juju."
33	* LoserProtagonist: "Huh, Butch Hartman must really love to torture his characters."
34	* MerchandiseDriven
35	* NonSequitur: Tooch introduces each episode with some random comment about some [[TheNineties 1990s]] animated show.
36	* NostalgiaFilter: Tooch believes that a lot of 1990s kids have their nostalgia goggles on way too tight, refusing to acknowledge anything animated after 2005 as any good.
37	* RealMenWearPink: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has gotten his most enthusiastic recommendation.
38	** He also talks a bit about the need for "girls' shows" that boys can enjoy in his ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' review.
39	* StraightGay: Tooch mentions having a boyfriend in the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' episode. In fact, the long hiatus was caused by Tooch's flying to visit him in Wales for two months.
40	* StrokeTheBeard
41	--> '''Tooch:''' "I don't have enough beard hair for this."
