Animation Damnation: Toxic Crusaders - "The Making of Toxie"
Added 2025-10-17 10:00:10 +0000 UTCGrab a mop and some air freshener because on this month's Halloween-adjacent Animation Damnation, we're talking about the disgusting cartoon adaptation, Toxic Crusaders!
We're starting at the start, episode one: "The Making of Toxie." Originally airing March 1, 1991, this is the episode that kicks things off like the first film, with hopeless Melvin being humiliated at the gym and thrown in toxic waste, only to become Toxie (we're not saying Toxic Avenger here). This episode also has a horrendous recurring joke they beat you to death with, an alien bug creature as the main bad guy, and a slew of additional characters that are all betting on your love of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will help you give this show a chance and... nope! PLUS: Lots of lightbulb talk!

Yeah man, Troma really should've died right alongside the videotape. Whatever you might think of them (and I'm not much of a fan either), that's the era they belong in.
