Hosted by MST3K's Frank Conniff as Moodsy Owl and writer/comedian Erica Doering as Compost Brite, Cartoon Dump! features some of the worst, most poorly animated cartoons from the 1950s, '60s and '70s provided by cartoon scholar Jerry Beck. It's a twisted take on children's shows with a neurotic cast of characters riddled with psychological disorders. It's not for kids, but for adults who are emotionally and developmentally damaged kids at heart.

A fun night with some of the worst cartoons you will ever see. It does help to be a little stoned or drunky before going, as one reviewer suggested. The sketches were funny and the guys from MST3K were great. If you liked the bizzare tone of MST, you will probably love this. If you have never heard of MST3K, maybe not so much. On the night I went Patton Oswalt was the guest comedian, and he was hilarious as always, and worth the incredibly cheap price of the ticket alone. What the hell else is there to do on a Monday night in LA?? I will be back for more

My daughter and I attended this event with the understanding that it was going to be about bad cartoons. What we didn't understand was that the show was 1/3 cartoons and 2/3 various acts involving raunchy humor and bad taste. This is not an event to bring a child to, so let my mistake benefit you from not doing the same thing. The bad cartoons were definitely bad, and that part was enjoyable. The other acts we could have done without.

Do yourself a favor. Spend a little extra money on a cab, and get good and baked before the show. It's enjoyable without it, but with it, it's just a hoot.

Quirky, edgy fun! If you like cheese, spread this event onto your favorite cracker. The cartoons were deliciously oh so bad with cheap animation, stupid scripts, and plenty of "what were they thinking?!" moments. Interspersed between the cartoons, there were skits and songs by a live troupe which included Mystery Science Theatre 3000's Frank Conniff. I especially liked Frank's depressed character's recommendation of a book called, "God's Just Not That Into You." They brought in a guest comedian (whose name escapes me at the moment) who was pretty funny. My husband and I had a great time and would recommend this show. By the way, although the cartoons were G-rated, "Cartoon Dump" is not for kids due to language in the live part of the show.

Imagine a world where a children's show has a cast of characters that have more psychological disorders than you... Add the mind numbing debauchery of the worst, most poorly animated cartoons from the '50s, '60s, and '70s...
