Dum de dum dum...
They were flushed on down,
Without remorse.
But then they mutated in,
Into Flush Force.
Flush Force!
They were flushed on down,
Without remorse.
But then they mutated in,
Into Flush Force.
Flush Force!
— The webseries' theme song
Released by Spin Master in 2017, Flush Force is a blind-bagged toyline of gross objects and creatures. Forgotten and flushed away into the sewers, the Flushies were mutated and came to life, and are ready to wreak havoc on the surface world.
Unlike many blind bag toys, Flush Force has a special “Flush to reveal” opening gimmick. Sold in toilet-shaped containers, the tank cover is opened up to be filled with water. The whole container is then shook, breaking the dissolvable paper that hides the Flushies, revealing them in the bowl.
A Stop Motion webseries on YouTube also exists for the series, along with an app that plays similar to Pokémon-Amie.
Flush Force provides examples of:
- Animate Body Parts: The Putrid Parts family is made up of living body parts.
- Animate Inanimate Object: Some of the families of Flushies are made up of teams that were originally inanimate objects before being mutated. These include the Dump Divers (non-recyclable garbage), the Street Freaks (road safety objects), and the Clean Freaks (cleaning supplies).
- Anthropomorphic Food: The Flushie families of the Grimy Grubs (produce) and the Mean Munchies (fast food) are mutated pieces of food.
- Apologises a Lot: Funky Skunky, due to her farting issues, is crippled with insecurity, constantly apologizing after she causes others to scatter.
- Bat Out of Hell: Subverted with Night Terror and Bat Bit Crazy, two kindly, if not a bit spooky, bats. They’re both a bit loopy, to the point that even on the ground, they prefer to be upside-down. Night Terror is also the first Flushie to accept Funky Skunky as a friend.
- Berserk Button: Flushies have a spot that they love to be petted, and one they hate to be petted. Pet the spot they hate, and they'll angrily snap at you, while their happiness meter refuses to fill up.
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: On the topic of Road Rash’s birthday cake in “A Bridge Too Fart”:Porcuplant: Are you turds gonna get over here or what? It’s Road Rash’s birthday, and we’re just about to cut the cheese! I mean, cake. I mean…cheesecake?
- Bucket Helmet: Croco Bile and Chomp Bucket both wear buckets on top of their heads.
- Cats Hate Water: Subverted with Kitty Cast and Cat Fish, two mermaid cats that are part of the Foul Floaters family.
- Cats Have Nine Lives: In reference to this is the Gruesome Twosome member 18 Lives, a two-headed cat.
- Creepy Cockroach: Roach Coach is a disgusting neon green cockroach.
- Cyclops: A large amount of Flushies are mutated to have only one eye.
- Disgusting Public Toilet: The hub to get out of the sewers is a slimy toilet.
- Eggshell Clothing: Beak Freak and Turd Bird are two-headed birds still wearing their eggshell half on their bottoms.
- Extra Eyes: Various Flushies, such as Porcuplant, Foul Growl, and Fright Lights, along with their variants, have more than two eyes.
- Friendly, Playful Dolphin: Capt-Fin and Flippy Blowhole are two cheerful inner tube-wearing dolphins that sport an eyepatch.
- Gasshole: Funky Skunky, fitting of her being a skunk. Her stinky farts are strong enough to make flowers wilt. Despite this, Night Terror and Face Palm are the only two that seem to be able to stand her stench, Night Terror more than Face Palm.
- Grossout Show: The toyline is heavily immersed in grossness, the webseries even more.
- Heh Heh, You Said "X": Croco Bile, when he meets Skid Roll:Croco Bile: Whoa! It's talking, it's talking!

- Messy Maggots: Monstrous Maggot subverts this trope. Despite being a maggot living in a dump, he is very fussy, and a giant germaphobe, explicitly preferring his garbage to be "clean and tidy".
- Multiple Head Case: The Gruesome Twosome family is made up of animals with two heads.
- Palette Swap: Each Flushie has two different color palettes for their mold. Unlike many other blind bag toys, however, each color is treated as its own character, instead of just a repeat of the same.
- Purple Is Powerful: If the toilet water turns purple for the toy, that means a limited edition Putrid Parts Flushie is in the bowl, some of the rarest ones with the highest worth.
- Ragin' Cajun: The aptly named Ragin’ Cagin’, a crab that presents himself as ultra-tough, but he’s actually hiding nervousness and a not-so-bright personality.
- Rascally Raccoon: Foul Growl and Rubbish Raccoon are both three-eyed raccoons. Foul Growl in particular has a tendency to stake his claim as leader wherever he ends up.
- Rise to the Challenge: The "Toilet Plunge" game has the player guiding their Flushie up a wall via bouncing, as a rising wave of slime goes up the screen. It can be passed up, but lag too much on a single obstacle, and it will reach the player.

- Sewer Gator: Croco Bile and Chomp Bucket are two sewer-living alligators with buckets on their heads.
