Sugar Apocalypse: Difference between revisions

** Likewise, TV ads for the game had the so-totally-not-the-Snuggles-fabric-softener-bear chased down and mauled by one of the tanks.

* The initial advertisement for ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' was Nintendo's mascots kicking the crap out of each other [[Soundtrack Dissonance|the tune of "Happy Together"]].

* An infamous animated promo for a 1983 special report entitled “Green Street Reds” for the KGO (San Francisco [[ABC]] affiliate) local evening news showed Soviet ICBMs shooting Santa Claus and his sleigh out of the sky. This resulted in many angry calls from parents with [[Nightmare Fuel|inconsolable children]] and the offending clip was quickly pulled. You can watch the clip [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut3OpRzYOJY here].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0w79cxZReU&NR=1 This ad] for 13eme rue, a French action and thriller network. The statement translates to "This is how we'll do a children's show if we have to do one".

* Occured in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time]]'' where the Shroob conducted an [[Alien Invasion]] and left some parts of the Mushroom Kingdom in ruins.

** This is the objective of Smithy in [[Super Mario RPG]].

* The entire point of ''[[Eversion]]''.

* The [[Adult Swim]] game Candy Mountain Massacer is the essence of this trope. You go play as a [[Badass]] character with a gun in a [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] land killing everything in sight.

** The Amazon is commonly a victim of the [[Sugar Apocalypse]] in [[Green Aesop|Green Aesops]]. To prevent this, the kids are forced by their parents to [[Manatee Gag|join a choir to travel to the Amazon]]. The choir is even more sugary. By the end of the episode, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|nature abhors a vegan]], and they all want to destroy the Amazon.

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' -- Uses the trope to exhaustion. Serial-killing [[Smurfs]], genocidal [[Care Bears]], bitter [[Strawberry Shortcake]], etc. And the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] in the form of ''[[My Little Pony]]''. See the page for a picture.

'''Death Pony''': "''RAAAAAAAH!''" }}

** {{spoiler|They die, by the way.}}

* ''[[Wizards]]''. An evil wizard unleashes his hellish forces on an ugly little hippy-dippy land populated by cutesy elves and fairies. Then there's the big battle scene in which little Rice Krispies mascot look-a-likes get mercilessly slaughtered.

* ''[[Watership Down]]''. Played straight, then inverted when you find out what the [[Killer Rabbit|rabbits]] are capable of doing to ''each other''.

'''Hazel:''' Blood? Don't be ridiculous... Why don't you go fetch me a cowslip? There's some fine grass over here. }}

* ''[[Rainbow Brite]]'': Inverted in ''The Beginning of Rainbow Land'' when you find out that [[Sugar Bowl|Rainbow Land]] was originally a lifeless wasteland.
