* DependingOnTheWriter: How successful Taint was during their prime varies heavily throughout the series. Some episodes show that they were fairly successful, with various people from Theo's past confirming many of his claims. Others seem to imply they were a flash in the pan at best and Theo is an aging rocker overstating his glory days.

''Royal Crackers'' is an animated adult comedy series created by Jason Ruiz for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Creator/AdultSwim.

The series centers around the dysfunctional Hornsby family, owner of Royal Crackers, a once-popular snack food company which manufactures saltine crackers in Bakersfield, California. Once the [=CEO=] of the company Theodore Hornsby Sr. falls into a "super-coma," his two sons Stebe (with a "b" as in "biscuit") and Theo Hornsby must take over to keep the failing company afloat, with Stebe's wife Deb working to put a good name for the company with disastrous results, and Matt - Stebe and Deb's "loser" son - dealing with their antics and complete lack of faith in him.

!!''Royal Crackers'' contains examples of:

* IJustWantToBeLoved: Matt is the only good person in the entire show who only wants to be loved by his family and people, but he lives in a WorldOfJerkass kicking him down for his good intentions.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Though Stebe tries to come across as someone who wishes to be appreciated, he does so in a way that he belittles every other person so he feels better with himself. It didn't help his father was a total jackass to him.
* ManipulativeBastard: Theodore was (is?)
* TheUnfavorite: Theodore absolutely ''hates'' Stebe with a passion for almost no reason and even named his name with a "b" as a sign that [[ForTheEvulz he couldn't bother to give him a better name]].
