Haha.. I think I'm thinking of the same episode.. some drug that causes all the effects of Molly, Heroin, Crack, Weed and so many others in one sparkly bag? If nothing else these cartoons taught me about what I should look out for when I go to college. If an anthropomorphic rat offers me a sparkly substance in a bag.. It's better to just read something like Alex Shulgin. And that's why the boomers still have the jobs millennials like me wish they had. :)

If anything, that Captain Planet episode showed WHY drugs are appealing. You have Wheeler trying to crack that ice queen Linka for the entire series. Then one dose of omni drug and she's a DTF sexy skank? Kids, say no to drugs and stay forever rejected by sexy Russians!

Oh fuck, and who could forget the Evil Horde Slime Pit?

i remember the G.I. Joe movie scaring the shit out of me as a child, with one scene where all the Joes, and i think some Cobra too, melted into this giant grey mass that was rolling around the city, or something like that. I had nightmares over it and was never able to watch it again.

I think you're thinking of the 2 parter episode "There's No Place Like Springfield" where Shipwreck wakes up in a hospital and is told he was in a coma and now lives the suburb life with a wife and kids. That fucker gave me nightmares for a week.

Also I'm pretty sure one character is just a straight-up Nazi

Straczynski helped develop the cartoon, but took his name off it after the Powers That Be changed a lot of his stuff - Fettes Gray being derived from the names of two characters from Robert Louis Stevenson's short story The Body Snatcher.

Commercials are good at coming up with catchy jingles.
