Nightmare Fuel / C.O.P.S. (1988)

• Several examples from the Drugs Are Bad episode, "The Case of the Lowest Crime".
  • Berserko, while trying to break into a warehouse, falls into a crate of Addictem's drug supply by mistake. Since the drug is absorbed by the skin, he's given literally hundreds of doses of the stuff in one go and is screaming in pure agony from it. The scene is only made worse because the drug seems to have some technological component to it which causes it to glow and shoot sparks when it activates, leaving Berserko not only in excruciating pain, but in a glowing mess that looks like he's being electrocuted. The scene goes out of its way to show us that he's being tortured by this in the worst way possible. The fact he nearly dies from this doesn't help.
  Berserko: HELP ME!! HELP MEEEE!!
  Buttons: Berserko!! BERSERKO!!!
  • Addictem himself is a prime example of Evil Makes You Ugly. He looks more like some sort of ghoul than a human being, with white hair, grey skin and a disgusting, shriveled appearance.
  • The fate of the poor bastards who get hooked on Crystal Twist. While it's mostly due to the episode's enforced Drugs Are Bad message, the result looks a lot like late-stage meth addiction. The ending reveals that even though Addictem is off the streets and in prison, the Crystal Twist addicts will never be the same, and many remain in the hospital or mental institutions.
  • Addictem offering Crystal Twist to two pre-teen schoolgirls!
• Highway is nearly crushed to death in a trash compactor in "The Case of the Highway Robbery".
• The guy Squeeky Kleen gets the Midas Glove from in "The Case of the Midas Touch". He's completely hidden by his hat and coat, doesn't say a word and vanishes once he has his money.
