Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue/YMMV

"Simon: "Marijuana.""
 * Anvilicious: It can be reasonably argued that there is nothing -- nothing -- in the world more anvilicious than this special, except possibly flashing  DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOU  for half an hour (which might be just as entertaining in a weird way, if not more so).
 * It actually tries to drop multiple anvils at once: the anti-drug one, the one about talking to others if you know someone's on drugs and/or doing stuff because of drugs, and one for the parents about watching your children like hawks for any sign of deviance. While the third is pretty groan-inducing as well, the Corey subplot actually does make the good point that confronting problems like this directly is the best way to keep a family unit healthy, so this one usually gets the fewest complaints.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Imagine listening to one of the Chipmunks say "Marijuana". Just think of the idea of a high pitched, adorable Talking Animal saying the word marijuana. Just...think...
 * Family Unfriendly Aesop: Michelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles chastises Mikey for trying to get his wallet after it's stolen. Bear in mind that not 5 minutes ago, Mikey was chastised for stealing a piggy bank. Stealing is bad, getting your stolen things back is also bad? It could be Hand Waved as Michelangelo getting Mikey to focus on one thing at a time, because as we all know, drugs are more important than money.
 * Finally we know what they used to program Robot Santa!
 * Fridge Brilliance: Bugs Bunny knowing what a joint is isn't that crazy. HE'S AN ACTOR. No doubt he is at least aware of of the stuff.
 * The reason why the toons were being such dicks to Mikey might be a parallel to drugs. At first, they seem to be helpful and good, but later down the line, they screw you over big time. It makes more sense if you accept the theory that the toons are hallucinations from the drugs.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Consider how Patton is involved with the plot of Kickassia...
 * Memetic Mutation:


 * Nightmare Fuel: Never mind the overall bizarre tone of the special. There's a truly mind-breaking dream sequence right about when Mikey hits rock-bottom.
 * If you look closely, every so often Smoke's face is replaced with a skull (with no eyes) for a frame or two at a time.
 * So Bad Its Good
 * Squick: Arguably the entire special.
 * They Just Didn't Care: Man, where to begin. Well, actually, let's begin at the apparent fact that, throughout the production of this thing, nobody involved actually thought to ask Jim Davis if he was okay with Garfield appearing. (They evidently only contacted the syndicate, who must've assumed that Davis would be contacted separately.) The world's been saved from this re-airing because Davis threatened to sue the producers into the ground if they ever dared.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: An official crossover starring cartoons...About a teenager with drug problems.
 * True, but the fact that it was geared towards warning youngsters about drugs was likely the only reason they could use all of these characters.
 * Unfortunate Implications: This... thing... was evidently aimed at television-watching white kids. The one black person in it was an evil, drug-pushing inner city dweller, simultaneously promoting fear of black people and fear of cities. The irony is that suburbia didn't have that high a rate of drug use at the time; this damn thing probably ended up promoting more drug use than it stopped.
