Another particularly vile cartoon was 1993's "Stone Protectors", a horribly misguided attempt to market troll dolls (you know, those weird naked things with the spooky faces, unblinking eyes, and Don King hair that white trash used to use as keychains) to boys who liked action cartoons.
22 years later, I'm still in a state of disbelief that someone not only thought this was a good idea but several other people approved it. Someone walked into a pitch meeting at Troll Corp LLC, snorted a massive line of coke and said, "So the TMNT are a thing. They're a group of guys who fight so I was thinking we make our own group of guys who fight...except they'll be trolls! We can have like a ninja troll on rollerskates, a wrestler troll, a karate troll I think, a troll with grenades and a handgun strapped to his chest, and the last one can be a mountain climber troll or something, I dunno."
"I dunno, Steve, that sounds a little--"
"I'm not done. They'll also be in a band because reasons!"
At this point, someone probably just said "well, at least they aren't nude" and everyone else in the board meeting nodded their heads and allowed Stone Protectors to happen. Oh, and don't bother hunting this down for laughs because it's Hammerman levels of unwatchable.
