{{quote|"Listen up. I'm an animation fan; I've seen all sorts of animation in my lifetime. I've watched countless cartoons from every decade, good and bad. The statement I'm about to make....might sound hyperbolic but it's true:<br />
"Believe me when I say Kidd Video ''is bar none, the absolute craziest, strangest, chaotic cartoon I have '''ever''' seen''. You know [[Raggedy Ann and Andy A Musical Adventure|that Raggedy Ann movie]]? ''This is '''[[Up to Eleven|weirder]]'''''!"|[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/comingtodvdnever.html Platypus Comics]}}
 
Line 14:
Compare ''[[Jem]]''. An extensive website, with episode guides, is maintained by [http://www.kvflipside.org/ Toolbot], who has also been kind enough to upload [http://www.youtube.com/user/toolbot several episodes] to [[YouTube]]. Which is good, because trying to describe the show is nothing compared to actually watching it.

{{tropelist}}
== Tropes Used: ==
* [[Adventure Towns]] - A different week, a different town.
* [[Art Evolution]] - Season 1 -> Season 2, as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQKhL1jE5yw demonstrated here]. Also counts as an [[Art Shift]].
Line 20:
* [[Big Eater]] - Fat Cat. Duh.
* [[Band Toon]] - While not based on a real band, it otherwise fits the description to a "t".
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Master Blaster is so rotten, he needs special dentures when he needs to ''smile.''
* [[Cats Are Mean]] - Actually, the Copy Cats are just [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]]. Master Blaster is the real meanie.
* [[Cloudcuckooland]] - The Flipside.
* [[Cool Car]] - The bizarre tour bus that must have been designed as a tribute to ''[[Yellow Submarine]]''. Somehow created out of a Subaru Brat.
* [[Creator Backlash]] - Robbie Rist wasn't too fond of ''Where Did Our Love Go?''
{{quote| '''Robbie Rist''': And I guess that “Kidd Video” was also responsible for what I believe is the worst cover of ''Where Did Our Love Go?'' that has ever been committed to media. It’s just…oh, God, it’s awful.}}
* [[Cute Bruiser]] - Glitter gains super-strength (enough to ''toss buildings around'') any time she sneezes.
* [[Deranged Animation]] - See page quote. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v4_EazSgKE Any questions?]
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]] - The Copy Cats
* [[Refuge in Cool]] - The only excuse for the show's premise.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Toolbot a robot who's also a tool box, started appearing in Season Two.
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]] - The Master Blaster's lair is a cross between this and [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]].
* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]] - Using popular radio hits of the day, sometimes including the music videos.
Line 53 ⟶ 55:
* [[The Power of Rock]] - The Flipside is basically an entire universe that runs on rock music.
* [[The Psycho Rangers]] - The Copy Cats. The enemy band to the Good Guys' band. Part [[Goldfish Poop Gang]].
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: Neither Carla nor Glitter get a pass on the cartoonish violence here.
* [[Trapped in Another World]] - The Flipside. They're trapped in it.
* [[Terrible Trio]] - The Copy Cats.
* [[Walking the Earth]] - Okay, they ride a bus-car-submarine-thing.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]] - Even the people who worked on it even commented on it.
{{quote| '''Robbie Rist''': I don’t know what they put in the water cooler in the animation department, but it became this crazy thing that... it was like ''Lidsville.'' It was this acid-influenced, crazy animation. It became something like ''[[Alice in Wonderland]],'' and I was in my twenties and watching these second-season episodes, going, “Is this for kids?” It was just a little bit too weird.}}
