''[http://blip.tv/dark-side-of-the-toon Dark Side of the Toon]''{{Dead link}} is an [[Web Original|Internet]] review show, similar to the shows on [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]]. But, [[Yes Except No|instead of reviewing nostalgic movies]] to see just how bad they were, the host, Tooch, has taken it upon himself to review [[Western Animation|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.
 
So far, the shows reviewed have been:
* [[Kick Buttowski]]
* [[Hero: 108]]
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]
* [[G.I. Joe: Renegades]]
* [[Transformers Prime]]
* [[Dan Vs.]]
* [[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]
* [[Regular Show]]

* [[Big No]]
{{quote| '''Tooch:''' Sorry little guy, your love for Rarity is...nothing more than a mere running gag.<br />
'''Spike:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! }}
* [[Character Development]]: Rarity starts the series as "fairly useless," but eventually "develops as a character and makes for some great comedy."
Line 22:
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The show's title. Here "dark" refers to unknown, rather than bad.
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]
{{quote| '''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]]..."}}
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The only reason Princess Celestia is a "princess", rather than a queen.
* [[Expy]]: "Kick's obnoxious older brother [[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Terrence]] - I mean Brad."
* [[Flat What]]: Tooch's initial reaction to ''Friendship Is Magic''.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' has "violence of near [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]] levels."
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: "I know that voice! It's [[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Danny Cooksey]]!!"
* [[Literal Metaphor]]: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|The magical]] [[Power of Friendship]] can make for some "powerful pony juju."
* [[Loser Protagonist]]: "Huh, Butch Hartman must really love to torture his characters."
* [[Merchandise -Driven]]
* [[Non Sequitur]]: Tooch introduces each episode with some random comment about some [[The Nineties|1990s]] animated show.
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: 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.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has gotten his most enthusiastic recommendation.
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: Tooch mentions having a boyfriend in the ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' episode. In fact, the long hiatus was caused by Tooch's flying to visit him in Wales for two months.
* [[Stroke the Beard]]
{{quote| '''Tooch:''' "I don't have enough beard hair for this."}}
