History VideoGame / Toonstruck

* TooKinkyToTorture: Mistress Marge is so used to being whipped by Punisher Polly that nothing can satisfy her anymore. Except... a feather.

* ValleyGirl: The woman who runs the costume shop, though an aversion as far as the stereotypical personality traits go, as she reads complex books and discusses their symbolism.

* EverythingsWorseWithWolves: B.B. Wolf, and his family.

* SerialEscalation: If Drew is hypnotized by Ms. Fortune, he'll be put back in the castle jail, where Snout enacts new methods to prevent him from getting out[[hottip:*:wearing a gas mask, and attempting to clean the dungeon with a vacuum cleaner]] before just quitting his job and leaving the key under the mat for Drew to find.

* MonsterClown: Considering it's hidden in a padded cell...

* PaintingTheFourthWall: The game plays pretty fast and loose with the fourth wall in general, but the arcade has an arcade machine partly framing the area, making it look like it's being displayed on such a machine.

* AmusingInjuries: Most notably with Woof and Warp of WACME, thankfully with some [[NegativeContinuity instant healing]] right after.
* ArtificialLimbs: Count Nefarious' henchmen, Feedback, Goggles, and Lugnut, with the the loss of speech, sight and hearing respectively, have to use special gadgets to enable them to speak, see and hear.

* Sexophone: Heard when Ms. Fortune tries to hypnotize Drew.

** Before the stable gets malevolated, right-clicking on the horse will [[{{Foreshadowing}} lead Flux to describe him as]] [[spoiler: "a pot of glue waiting to happen".]]

* HeyItsThatGuy: Drew's boss is played by Ben Stein.
* HeyItsThatVoice: A large number of recognized voices appear in the game.
** Flux is played by [[DanCastellaneta Homer Simpson]]

-->Robot Master: I am a Super Mega Ultra Genius!

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Averted, since [[FunWithAcronyms S.M.U.G.]] is quite robotic. Also, his appearance and personality appears to be inspired by the [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]].

* ServileSnarker: The Footman, though apparently he adores King Hugh (perhaps [[{{Squick}}a bit too much]]...) and would doubtfully act towards his liege as he does Drew and Flux.

* TakeOverTheWorld: The goal of Count Nefarious, SMUG the Robot Maker, [[spoiler: and Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The horse that used to be in the stable, after it is malevolized, disappears.

** Before the stable gets malevolized, right-clicking on the horse will [[{{Foreshadowing}} lead Flux to describe him as]] [[spoiler: "a pot of glue waiting to happen".]]

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Drew Blanc literally exclaims "Spiders! Why did it have to be spiders?" upon seeing a couple of them crawling on the wall.

** Fingers, the cashier of the Cutopian Arcade, is voiced by Dom DeLuise.

* Scotireland: The Cutopian Bartender is half Irish, half Scottish ("...and all cheese!") and alternates between these two accents. He is, in fact, a green cheese shaped like a four-leaf clover wearing a kilt.

Basically, ''Toonstruck'' is an [[AdventureGame Adventure]] [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] game developed by Burst Studios and published by Virgin Interactive in November 31st 1996, for MS-DOS. It uses FMV of ChristopherLloyd as [[PunnyName Drew]] [[MeaningfulName Blanc]], as well as animated cartoons, making most of the game have a RogerRabbitEffect.

* BuryYourGays: Possibly for the Care-crow

** Fingers, the cashier of the Cutopian Arcade, is voiced by Dom Deluise.

* NobodyPoops: AsYouKnow this toilet is used for our Zanydu sport of fishing. What else did you have in mind?

* ActorAllusion: [[ChristopherLloyd Drew Blanc's]] sidekick is named [[BacktotheFuture "Flux".]]

It's BetterThanItSounds, like most games when described like this...

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: Drew manages to defeat Nefarious and Fluffy Bun Bun and destroy the Cutifier and Malevolator before returning to the real world. But Flux contacts him (through a communicator he gave him at the last second) and informs him the two are still alive and they need Drew's help. The mutagen Nefarious shot into Drew finally kicks in turning him into a toon before he warps back to the toon world. End game.]]

* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler: Nefarious' initial plan to turn things evil with his machine, and Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun planning to turn everything cute (including those that weren't cute before, such as the inhabitants of Zanydu and the Malevolands) with her machine.]]

* FunWithAcronyms:

* PortalNetwork: The black hole used for fast traveling, which also doubles as AnotherDimension

* ShoutOut: The game is very reminiscent of WhoFramedRogerRabbit, made even funnier when you recall who ChristopherLloyd played in that classic film.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Drew Blanc literally exclaims "Spiders! Why did it have to be spiders?" upon seeing a couple of them crawling on the wall.

* ForeShadowing: Just before Drew is transported to Cutopia, Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait can be seen hanging on Drew's room's wall. One of the things that was cut from the game was getting to meet Vincent van Gogh.

* LogicBomb: The only way to get rid of the Robot Maker is by using his own intelligence against him...
* Malaproper: B. B. Wolf.

* SolveTheSoupCans: The phone dialing sequence, for one

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: In the middle of the game, its revealed Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun took over King Hugh's throne and disguised herself as the king so she can use the Cutifier to turn everything cute and cuddly as she see fit.]]

** The game actually lets you ask about its disappearance. While the response is merely [[EvilLaugh a malicious cackle]], the answer becomes apparent once you ask yourself [[spoiler: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_glue where the glue comes from]] ]].

** Before the stable gets malevolized, right-clicking on the horse will [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Foreshadowing lead Flux to describe him as]] [[spoiler: "a pot of glue waiting to happen".]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: Depends on how you look at it [[spoiler: the serum that Count Nefarious had Drew injected with, which slowly turns him into a toon]]

* TakeOverTheWorld: The goal of Count Nefarious, Robot Master [[spoiler: and Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun]]

** [[spoiler: While we don't actually meet King Hugh (or we probably did, hard to tell). Fluffy Bun Bun mentions that he was locked away. You never get around to rescuing him however.]]

** Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun is regonized by her Babs Bunny voice, courtesy of TressMacNeille
** Fingers, the cashier of the Cutopian Arcade is voiced by Dom Deluise.

* LogicBomb: The only way to get rid of the Robot Master is by using his own intelligence against him...

There's a petition to make a sequel here: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/toonstrucktwo/sign/ And WordOfGod says the game may even see rerelease on current day consoles with the sequel materials bundled in it.
