It's time to delve back into '90s toy cartoons, and Matt McMuscles returns to help us out with Street Sharks (check out his YouTube channel and his Patreon!). How did Mattel decide on sharks as their response to turtles? How many different animation studios made this monstrosity? And is there anything salvageable about the concept? We discuss all that and more on this Jawsome podcast!

As soon as i saw you guys were doing Street Sharks my immediate thought was "You better be getting Matt as a guest" that dude knows way too much about Street Sharks, glad you made the right choice.

I think this has got to be pound-for-pound the noisiest cartoon you've covered so far. These clips are fully half voice actors making "argh rargh" sounds! I love it.

As silly as it is of me to point out the improbability of using Genghis Khan DNA in this show, he is one of the great monsters of history and one of easiest to get in some ways and among the most difficult to get straight from the source. It is odd given the he is one of the most prolific conquerors of all time, because nobody knows exactly what he looked or even if we have any direct quotes from him. His place of burial is so secretive that it is even rumored that the Mongols variously diverted a river, or stampeded horses over the ground repeatedly to flatten it and planted trees to cover it and every person within a radius of the funeral was killed that wasn't a high enough level of authority. As a man that lead the military campaign to kill 3/4 of the population of Iran (the population only caught back up to the same level in the 1990's) this is a believable. The moderate number for deaths caused by him is 40 million (the really high estimates are 80) at a time when the world population is estimated to be about 400 million so we are talking about 10-20% of the population of earth which is staggering. On the other terrible side of this ledger, his direct lineage can be traced 8 percent of men in his original part of the world (Mongolia and surrounding parts of China, etc). His direct lineage is found in .05% of all men on earth. This is attributed to him (and his sons) conquering so many populations and "taking women as his wife" as History of the Mongols (a book written by the Mongol dynasty) euphemistically puts it. There is some weird distortion around that guy too since the scope of his rule was so wide and total that things like trade and reduction of crime were strong under him (after you were subjugated), but make no mistake he was a force of domination and slaughter that is only rivaled by someone like Alexander the Great. A modern monster would have to kill around a billion people to cause the level of destruction he did in body count alone.

Man, all this Double Dragon talk really makes me want an episode on one of the many wack video game cartoons of the 80s and 90s. Captain N I’m sure has a fascinating history

Biker Mice From Mars took place in Chicago, actually! And honestly, as much fun as it is to hear you guys talk about quality animation, between this episode and the one on Thundarr I always get excited when you dive into these janky also-rans.

The most unrealistic thing about this unrealistic show is that these guys didn't immediately check out their dicks after transforming into hybrid shark people. As it was pointed out, I guess they won't have any use for them post mutation, though one should never underestimate the amount of kinks in this world. It is borderline shocking there was no video game tie-in with this franchise. We were well past the point where franchises like this usually mandated a three-pronged attack of toy, television, and video game. Mattel must have done some research on the subject at some point and found that games were ineffective as a marketing tool or something, or perhaps no one was willing to take the IP. It feels like, to me, that Mattel wasn't as married to games as some other production companies when it came to pushing toys, but I am saying that without doing any research what-so-ever. Barbie did have a game, not that she needed one. He-Man basically sat out the NES era though so maybe their research was based on the Masters of the Universe stuff for Atari, Commodore, etc which may have all performed poorly. Everything about Street Sharks though is either terrible or a mixed bag at best. I was wise to the grift when these guys showed up, but not smart enough to sit it out entirely. I purchased (or had my grandmother purchase on my behalf) one, lone, Street Shark toy. It was Rip, or Ripster, or whatever - the blue one! He looked pretty interesting and the skin texture was very unique for an action figure as it was very rubbery. The toy could barely move though and was more like a statue. The roller blade shark's roller blades didn't even have wheels, which was beyond lame. Still, with 90s nostalgia growing with every passing moment, it would not surprise me in the least to see a new wave of Street Sharks in the next year or two unless the toy market busts at some point soon. Like Tiger handhelds though, these Jawsome boys should just stay in the 1990s.

The needless EXTREME race that the boys had to go meet their father really reminded me of the equally needless opening skydiving sequence from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. They came out within a year of each other, so I guess it was the style at the time. https://youtu.be/6oAXda0dB48

While I enjoy the episodes where you talk about more modern and actually good cartoons, these deep dives into obscure crap are like heroin to me so thank you.

I couldn't keep myself from laughing in public as I was listening to this one. Trying to make sense of the nonsense of 90s toy cartoons is always hilarious and this took me back to the days of watching Matt's cartoon flophouse videos circa 2009. I immediately went back to watch "Double Dragon Douchebaggery" and all its "OHHHH NOOOO!"s when that was mentioned. Thanks so much for reminding me.

For reasons I cannot truly fathom, I had the hammerhead puppet as a kid. I was 8 but not particularly charmed by them - as I can’t remember a single goddamn thing about this cartoon, yet I have vivid Turtles memories from when I was 3. It existed. So did the Macarena. Jawsome? Jawbulent? Jaw-it happened. More footnote cartoons please. I want to revisit sweaty toy pitches to capitulate my soul in this late stage of capitalism.

God, hearing the clips without the visual of the show REALLY highlights how awful a lot of the writing and general sound design is. But I will say that woman's (repeated) scream and the growl in lieu of actual dialogue KILLED ME hearing them over the podcast - unintentional comedy gold. What a weird, bizarre show, and it having multiple seasons was kind of shocking to me (even if it was still a small amount of episodes over the three).

Frank Grimes

Alternative title this podcast...Street Sharks: Wha Happun?

Chance Gerk

This is the best episode since spider-man and his amazing friends. Its so much fun to trash on these terrible cartoons. More bad cartoon reviews!

"Eating orgy" instead of "feeding frenzy" was unexpected but I love it
