Toonsylvania: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* The first part would be one of the adventures of Dr. Vic Frankenstein; his assistant, Igor, a [[Ted Baxter]] who thought he was the brains of the outfit, and their [[Frankenstein's Monster]], Phil.

* The fourth and final segment, called "Melissa Screetch's Morbid Morals"', had Phil do something bad. As punishment, Igor reads him a tale involving a bratty girl named Melissa Screetch, who doesn't heed the warnings of adults (usually given by her mother) and gets punished one way or the other for it.

----

* [[Animated Anthology]]: In the same vein as ''Animaniacs'' and ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''.

* [[Big Eater]]: The baby human on the episode of the same name

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Like any 1990s kids' cartoon, this show had its share of sexually suggestive jokes (the ''first episode'' included Dr. Vic reading a book of pick-up lines to use on women and a scene of Igor, Dr. Vic, and Phil drooling over a [[Sexy Silhouette]] of a woman showering...until they draw back the curtain and find the Darla Doiley doll ready to kill him). Unlike any 1990s kids' cartoon, this cartoon also had a lot of dark humor and jokes about [[Amusing Injuries]] (again, the first episode had a scene of a previous customer wanting to return his Darla Doiley doll because she had put an axe through his head. Igor and the clerk laugh at the man before he angrily tosses the doll and leaves).

** Lampshaded in the episode with Doc's {{spoiler|natural}} werewolf grandmother. Phil suggests that they simply deal with her via the trademark silver bullet, and [[No Fourth Wall|Igor sharply reminds him]] [[Think of the Censors|this is a kids show]].

** On the episode, "Darla Doiley: Demon Doll," the voice of the toy store clerk is the always-cast and always-versatile [[Billy West]] -- whose character sounds EXACTLY like Professor Farnsworth ([[Hilarious in Hindsight|even though "Futurama" didn't premiere until 1999 and Toonsylvania came out in 1998]]).

* [[Loophole Abuse]]: In "Phil's Brain", Dr. Vic ordered Igor to take the garbage out but Igor replied that his union doesn't allow him to do it. (In fact, it's the only thing the union forbids him from doing) Dr. Vic then ordered Igor to make sure Phil takes the garbage out otherwise ''Igor'' will be punished.

** On "Built for Speed," he was seen painting his toenails.

** On "Love Hurts," the game show announcer mentions that Dr. Vic enjoys bubble baths.

** On "Love Potion Number Nein!" Dr. Vic has his body and hair wrapped up in towels the way a woman would have it.

* [[Right Behind Me]]: From "Baby Human," Dr. Vic, Igor, and Phil are searching for the cannibal baby Igor created in the basement. The baby lands on Dr. Vic's head as Dr. Vic is yelling at Igor, then Dr. Vic panics until he realizes "The baby's on my head, isn't it?"

* [[Space Whale Aesop]] - The entire point of the Melissa Screech segments. Stay out past curfew? You get abducted and eaten by a monster! Make funny faces all the time? Your face will fuse permanetly into the funny face and you're forced to star in B horror flicks to get by! Disobey an instruction? ''You spark a cataclysmic war between Earth and an alien race!'' Spoil your appetite with sweets? You'll waste away to an atom or get blown like paper in the wind.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Phil Likes chili.
