Line #6 WesternAnimation/CultToons


1	''AKA Cult Toons'' was an experimental comedy show that aired on Cartoon Network UK between 1999 to 2000. The show used episodes of old Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons and interspersed them with random clips ranging from blaxplotation films, kung fu movies and other cartoons in a style commonly likened to YouTubePoop, [[UnbuiltTrope years before it hit the Internet.]] The show was hosted by Jackie Potato, a blaxplotation {{Expy}} of Dexter from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''. It also had guest host appearances including the likes of professional wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage and the London Towers basketball team.

3	!!''Cult Toons'' provides examples of:
4	* {{Blaxploitation}}: Many clips the show uses derive from the genre.
5	* CensoredForComedy: Sometimes, certain portions of dialogue are bleeped in the clips to make it diriter than they originally were (which was done more frequently in ''Funky Phantom Menace'').
6	* {{Expy}}: Jackie Potato is [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter]] given a {{Blaxploitation}} style with the stereotypes turned up to eleven.
7	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Usually in the form of combining a Hanna-Barbera character with an outside reference. e.g. Captain Majors Lonely Hearts Club Band.
8	* RunningGag: One of the chief sources of humour from the show.
9	** Certain uses of StockFootage (see below) count.
10	** The intro sequence or a brief clip from ''WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow'' playing briefly, only for Andy Lebeau to [[TakeThat invariably get blown to smithereens]]. Sometimes followed by a test pattern accompanied by the words:
