Garbage Pail Kids

They were collector cards, they were in a movie and they even came as little collectible figures, but not many people remember that they starred in their own cartoon too. I'm speaking about the Garbage Pail Kids!



The series stars the characters Split Kit, Elliot Mess, Terri Cloth, Patty Putty, and Clogged Duane as gross looking kids with abilities to help others. In the first two episodes, they have normal alter-egos, which transform into their "Garbage Pail" identities; later episodes show them exclusively in their Garbage Pail looks (it is never explained how their Garbage Pail personae became permanent).
The show also features parodies of movies like the Indiana Jones series, Superman, and The Fly. It also has segments between stories, such as "Garbage Pail Groaners" (jokes) and "Would We Lie To You?" (facts).
Due to controversial themes, it never aired in the United States. However, it did air in most countries in Europe.
