Review – Terror Toons

I think the box I got was mislabeled. The DVD case says “Terror Toons,” but what I’ll bet it was supposed to say was “Terrible Crap.” Yet again the whatever-they-are at Brain Damage serve up cheap video porn without the porn. So as ever, if you have the attention span of a gnat and the sense of humor of a prematurely sexually aware five-year-old boy, you’ve finally found someone who will cater to your niche. Otherwise this is nothing more than a thoroughly annoying bit of drivel about a pair of guys in rubber masks who escape from cartoon land to terrorize teenagers (or rather thirtysomethings pretending to be teenagers). If this was as funny as the guys who made it seemed to think it was, this would be one of the great classics of American comedy. However, what they managed to come up with ranks in film history only alongside “classics” like Glen or Glenda? Except, of course, that at least Ed Wood had a measure of sincerity rather than nothing nobler than a deliberate desire to churn out garbage. Wish I’d skipped it
