	So named because cartoonists and writers had virtually no creative control and were forced by management to create horribly-written and horribly-executed scripts, resulting in shit like the [[Ultramarines\|Smurfs]] and 1980s [[My Little Pony]]. These shows were [[FAIL\|shit]], and the cartoonists fucking hated them. The biggest reason for this was the near-dominance of several animation studios at the time enforcing creative ~~control~~; the fail would eventually cause what would become known as [[American Cartoon Syndrome]], a terrible illness, in almost every work it could contact. A common refrain from these times is that management would allow for ~~only~~ 7 different types of story - and not in the usual literary archetype fashion, either. Many plots for these shows were blatantly and openly ~~used~~ by one another, and you would see the same stories over and over and over, just with the situation happening to different characters.

These shows were [[FAIL\|shit]], and the cartoonists fucking hated them. The biggest reason for this was the near-dominance of several animation studios at the time enforcing creative [[monopoly]]; the fail would eventually cause what would become known as [[American Cartoon Syndrome]], a terrible illness, in almost every work it could contact. A common refrain from these times is that management would only allow for episodic formats and 7 different types of story - and not in the usual literary archetype fashion, either. Many plots for these shows were blatantly and openly cookie-cuttered by one another, and you would see the same stories recycled over and over and over, just with the situation happening to different characters.

	John Kricfalusi, founder of Spumco Cartoons (who would later create ''Ren and Stimpy,'' one of a few dozen shows that heralded the end of the Dark Ages), elaborated that the scripts that the writers and cartoonists would need to work on were ''literally'' [[derp\|retarded]], with spelling and grammar errors, complete lack of actual character buildup, and mused that the situation was so bad that members of the staff would routinely light scripts on fire before throwing them into Kricfalusi's office, prompting his staff to have to stomp them out before getting to work.
