Summary: Toys doing very wrong things
Comment: If you're a super-geekin' comic-book/collectible-toy/Cult-TV-&-Movie/Pop-Culture fanboy who's up on you're knowledge of comic books/toys/Cult TV shows & movies/ pop culture (you'll need it to understand many of the references thrown about)-- and you're into sick and juvenile humor-- and you're not easily offended-- more 'n' likely you'll find what'cher lookin' for (and then some) in this collection of the best Twisted ToyFare Theatre episodes culled from the pages of ToyFare magazine. Each six-page-long comic-book-style misadventure-- fifteen in all-- is usually set in the 'burbs of MegoVille, U.S.A., and stars a Spider-Man action figure who's completely dropped all that "power & responsibility" B.S. to become the jaded, indifferent, and sarcastic smart@$$ he was destined to be. The show's main co-star is the Hulk, a Lenny-like (with Spidey usually assuming the "George" role in their numerous team-ups here) 'tard who spends his time either petting the local wildlife (usually a fatal thing for the pettee), or trying to find a restroom before he literally explodes in a shower of-- well, you'll just hafta see for yourself. Guest/supporting characters include the mighty (and slightly fem) Thor; Ponch and John & Sgt. Cotrere from "ChiPs" as the town lawmen, and a perpetually tanked-up Iron Man.
Then there's the amazing adventures these toys-gone-wrong go on-- like Spidey, Hulk, and Thor attending the annual comic book convention and being forced to stay the night after a fruitless effort to find the cavernous convention hall's exit. Then there's the one where Spidey makes a sudden and unexpected trip to Eternia and helps Skeletor make the connection between Prince Adam and He-Man. Other lowbrow hijinks include Dr. Doom holding a yard sale, Spidey and his buddies escaping a horde of P.O'd Smurfs, Cobra Commander and his minions invading Spidey's house (love the part where the fridge magnets get stuck to Destro's helmet-mask thingy), Dr. Doom suffering the indignity of temping for the Fantastic Four, and other ludicrous and occasionally scatological shenanigans. Speakin' of which: if you're concerned about the yuks bein' a bit TOO risque, most of the stuff that goes on in TTT almost never goes beyond the PG-13 realm of tastelessness. Well, except for the part where that dealer at the comic book convention pulls a Mr. Creosote on Spidey and Thor. Or the part where a robot gets a bit too, er, intimate with Dr. Doom. Otherwise, there's plenty of good, clean fun to be had-- like the hilarious, yet tragic consequences of Iron Man's binge-drinking. Or the ambiguously, er, "fluffy" relationship between Captain America and his teenage sidekick Bucky. Or the part where-- well, you should probably see that particular scene for yourself...
Anyhoo-- seein' as it's gettin' late, and I'm runnin' outta things to say about this baby, I think I'll wind things up with a description of its "special features", which includes an introduction penned by director Kevin Smith that I've never read, 'cuz I really don't care what he has to say. Also included is a "behind-the-scenes" look at how an eppie of TTT is produced. Discussed in brief are a few scenes and concepts the TTT writers came up with, but eventually decided were a bit TOO risque to use (the wusses!). Topping it all off is a list and description of the 10 most outrageous moments in other TTT stories that weren't included in this collection... which I found to be a waste of space. The way I see it, if they're not gonna include the eppies in their entirety, don't show 'em at all...
