FinalFantasyUnlimited is Ghibli shows on a (very bad) acid trip.

''ElfenLied'' is {{Carrie}} high with LSD and any other hallucinogens, which in turn is {{Matilda}} off anger-control.

''KuuchuuBuranko'' has to be like ''House'' on acid-laced koolaid and Viagra.

''HaruhiSuzumiya'' is NeonGenesisEvangelion off the LSD, on the blue pill, with working anti-depressants

''SchoolDays'' is what happens when an h-game watches NeonGenesisEvangelion

''SamuraiChamploo'' is ''JidaiGeki'' on purple drank.

''KodomoNoOmocha'': "''MarmaladeBoy'' on crack."

Elsewhere on the Net, an expanded version has been seen: "Imagine, if you will, ''Marmalade Boy,'' as written by the MarxBrothers and Judith Krantz, on acid. And speed, can't forget the speed."

Interestingly Sana is shown to drink a strange energy drink often. ''You decide what's in it.''

''PandoraHearts'' is ''American McGee's Alice'' on a low-does regiment of antidepressants and steroids. Given that ''American McGee's Alice'' was ''AliceInWonderland'' on a particularly nasty batch of LSD after its years of drug use caught up with it, you can imagine what sorts of HighOctaneNightmareFuel can be found can be found in all of the aforementioned works.

Likewise, JAGSWonderland is "Alice" on whatever the creators of NeonGenesisEvangelion took.

''{{FLCL}}'': "''LooneyTunes'' on LSD" action.

''FLCL'' '''IS''' LSD and even more. It's even ''Gainax'' and LSD (no, it's not even a TakeThat against Gainax, just being realistic).

This Troper once told his professor, in order to get her intrigued by the series, that it was like "If Hayao Miyazaki and Thomas Pynchon had a baby, and this baby was then raised by its creepy uncle, Quentin Tarantino." It was the best explanation he could come up with on the spot that would make any sense.

The EverythingsBetterOnDrugs page refers to it as being what drugs ''really'' takes (well, that or ''SuperJail'').

This Troper explained it as "''TenchiMuyo!'' meets ''LoveAndRockets'' filtered through an acid-fueled, quadruple espresso haze". However ''FLCL'' is described to outsiders, the one constant is definitely that it's ''something'' on drugs.

''FLCL'' is ''ExcelSaga'' '''on Excel Saga.'''

No, ''that'' would be ''PuniPuniPoemi''.

This Troper's friend once said "''ExcelSaga'' is what crack smokes." This Troper added the corollary "''PuniPuniPoemi'' is what Excel Saga smokes."

''AzumangaDaioh'' has been described as "''{{Peanuts}}'' on LSD."

''AzumangaDaioh'': ''Peanuts'' after huffing some BZ gas.

No, '''clearly''' it's ''Peanuts'' on Hawaiian baby woodrose.

Following this, ''PaniPoniDash!'' is mainly ''AzumangaDaioh'' on acid.

And following that, ''HidamariSketch'' is ''PaniPoniDash'' on Ritalin and acid with a newfound appreciation for art techniques.

I've got it: ''{{Peanuts}}'' after watching all of ''GarfieldAndFriends'' in one go, then moving to Japan on a sleep-deprived whim. :Those are the two things it reminds me the most of, and it would [[WildMassGuessing certainly explain why Chiyo's dad is a cat... ]]

Oh, I'll do you all one better: Azumanga is Peanuts on ''meth!'' As wacky as crack addicts are, they've got nothing on those balls of zaniness that are meth addicts!

So their teeth are falling out and slowly turning into bloddied skeletons?

''AzumangaDaioh'' is ''{{Peanuts}}'' on whatever Osaka is taking.

Valium?

So, basically just Peanuts without Ritalin?

Described here as ''{{Seinfeld}}'' on acid.

''SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': ''GTO'' on crack in terms of premise, ''PaniPoniDash'' off its meds and Prozac and on a mixture of alcohol and hallucinogens in terms of execution.

I like to think of it as 'if AzumangaDaioh developed a sudden death wish and decided the best way to fulfill it was a suicidal crack binge.'

In turn, this wiki describes ''LuckyStar'' as "''AzumangaDaioh'' on even more crack."

If we're going to start making refs to Azumanga, then I want to add that KOn! is like if AzumangaDaioh binged on some of that "Fancy Hearing Cake" decided to form a music group, with giant portions of {{Moe}} added in for good measure.

''SakigakeCromartieKoukou'', which... well, it's probably safe to say that whoever wrote that show died of a massive drug overdose.

''PuniPuniPoemi'' has been called ''ExcelSaga'' on crack. Which is quite a feat, considering that the article on ''ExcelSaga'' itself ends with "... when crack is not enough."

''PuniPuniPoemi''... when ''ExcelSaga'' is not enough!

Though now that the manga is dipping its toes in CerebusSyndrome, it's more like ''{{Pinky and the Brain}}'' smacked upside the head and told to focus. But in a misguided effort to focus, it drank a bottle of whiskey, shot up some adrenaline, and smoked some crack for good measure.

The ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' movie was described as "36 half hour episodes crammed down into 100 minutes, filtered through the hindbrain of Salvador Dali and laced with LSD."

Oh god, the cars. THE CARS!

And the original TV series was described as "a season of ''SailorMoon'' hijacked by Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch" and "an animated ''TwinPeaks'' for 14-year-old girls." That makes the movie a distilled ''ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs''.

Utena could easily be described as NeonGenesisEvangelion on estrogen.

Arguably, ''{{Gankutsuou}}'' is ''{{The Count of Monte Cristo}}'' with a certain fake nobleman probably doing even more unholy experiments with hard drugs. (Drugs from space... yum.)

Drugs and withdrawal from Prozac would definitely explain the manga. It has smoked everything but garlic and wooden stakes, spent the night locked up in a Salvador Dali art gallery with its worst enemies, and probably also drunk Hannibal Lecter's exquisite wines.

Kaori Yuki's ''Ludwig Kakumei'' is Grimm's fairy tales on acid and some unknown paraphilia-inducing drug. Strangely enough, it's more loyal to original tales that the Disney movies will ever be...

As a matter of fact, ''AngelSanctuary'' is what happens when ''ParadiseLost'', ''Alice in Wonderland'', and the {{Bishounen}} genre meet and start doing drugs together.

With a healthy dose of obscure religious references and incest, just to add that slight bit of extra insanity that every crack series needs.

''{{Trigun}}'' must be a western on crack and LSD, but most of the characters are too poor to be anything but cheap alcoholics.

''TrinityBlood'' must be ''Trigun'' on even more LSD and InSpace. It does add vampires (on crack).

Fans in the mid-90s described ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' as "mecha anime on crack." Then ''End Of Evangelion'' was released, which was naturally "mecha anime on ''even more'' crack."

No ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is mecha anime made by a former christian on crack.

Former ''theologian''. Not Christian. Remember the kabbalahs?

EVA is mechs on crack after having a one night stand with Freud.

''RebuildOfEvangelion'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' post-therapy, in a higher income bracket, with wife and SUV, and on steroids (rather like Anno himself).

Midway through the second movie, ''Rebuild'' starts doing LSD and whatever they made ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' with.

Surely ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' is literally HumongousMecha ''off'' drugs. More specifically, its meds.

I'll do better: Eva is a good mecha series off it's antidepressants. To cope, it turned to heroin and found a Bible one day while mainlining in a cheap hotel...

It may have also turned tricks to get its junk (poor thing...). Well, it certainly had a mass of psychological damage by the end...

A particular person tried to convince his older brother to buy the series saying it was the awesomeness of ''BattleTech'' on [=LSD=] (strangely, not adrenaline), the isolationist nature of ''BladeRunner'' on a ridiculous amount of antidepressants, and ''every damn single piece of mind-wracking scariness'' from ''{{Alien}}'' on crack. Needless to say, it actually worked.

I've occassionally thought of Evangelion as the Peanuts developing mental illnesses, going on meds to be cured, and then going off the meds before the illnesses were eliminated completely. There are also giant robots.

Something tells me that it also involved HR Giger on Viagra.

So, does this mean that ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' on cannabis?

A ''lot'' of pot.

While watching a ''GetterRobo'' marathon in the back room. And then the boss walks in and he's all like, "Get back to work!"

''DigimonTamers'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'', put back on the Prozac and with Mons?

Or Digital Devil saga with giggling wish granting gods and sober from the allucinogenic mushrooms?

Or even {{Persona4}} on theraphy (it explains the story progression?)

Dukemon X, from DigimonXEvolution is Goku, with shining armor (after an acid bath), and a lightsaber to make the jedi jealous

''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' with Serious Card Game Business.

''{{Bokurano}}'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' off its meds... and on suicide watch.

''EurekaSeven'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' on marijuana whilst surfing.

Amen! Best description I've read in a long while.

''TheBigO'' is ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' hallucinating that it's ''Batman''.

Alternatively, it's ''Batman'' but lost in Japan, on six or seven different psyc medications, and with amnesia.

''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is essentially ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' on a mixture of antidepressants, speed, hallucinogenics, and a ''lot'' of steroids.

It's also, ''MegasXLR'' on even more crack and LSD.

Or ''{{GaoGaiGar}}'' on acid.

Alternately, ''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'' is ''DeadLeaves'', given LSD and crystal meth as a treatment for crack cocaine addiction, then given a bunch of HumongousMecha to play with.

Let's be honest, Simon is Shinji on Powerfirst.

Is every **** series EVA on ''something''?!

Perhaps EVA is hallucinating it's everything while being high on nothing?

On the same key, ''DeadLeaves'' is ''{{FLCL}}'' on crack.

''AachiAndSsipak'' is ''DeadLeaves'' on... something.

''GGundam'' is ''Gundam'' + ''Dragon Ball'' on a lot of illegal substances and alcohol.

A review of ''UshioAndTora'' described it as "''{{Calvin and Hobbes}}'' on acid."

''{{Berserk}}'': it's ''D&D'' on PCP.

''BoboboboBobobo'' is pretty much ''{{Fist of the North Star}}'' on acid.

There aren't enough drugs to begin to explain Bobobo or at least the inspiration... Heck, there isn't anything in the world that can start explaining it. The English adaptation (particularly of the anime) somehow managed to make it even crazier than it originally was. Let's say it makes {{Chowder}} look drug-free.

I always figured that the English dub was ''FistOfTheNorthStar'' on drugs ''on drugs''.

YakitateJapan is Bobobo on LSD-flavoured bread. Yeah.

And ''ChronoCrusade'' is ''{{Hellsing}}'' with just pot, but a ''lot'' of it. Possibly some antidepressants too.

Whatever ''ChronoCrusade'' was on, it sure as hell wasn't antidepressants. It could have used them, though. Maybe Paxil, that stuff is known to cause suicide.

That's only in the anime, though.

The prototype version of ''{{Hellsing}}'', ''The Legends of a Vampire Hunter'', is pretty much ''Hellsing'' on Viagra.

This Troper thinks that ''Hellsing'' is ''{{Literature/Dracula}}'' on a mix of alcohol and pot.

This Troper thinks it was more like ''{{Castlevania}}'', with guns, and LOTS AND LOTS OF CAFFEINE.

I'd say it's the Francis Ford Coppola version of ''Dracula'', heaped up on steroids and PCP, with Nazis.

And doesn't want to know what Akira Toriyama of ''DragonBall'' fame is on.

''{{HunterXHunter}}'' is ''DragonBall'' on even more of this "whatever it is."

And that ''YokohamaKaidashiKikou'' is a post-apocalyptic manga on [=NyQuil=].

Then ''{{Saikano}}'' must be a post-apocalyptic manga on a lot of pot.

''CowboyBebop'' is like ''LupinIII'' after years of alcoholism (and also in space). In a good way.

''OutlawStar'' is ''Cowboy Bebop'' on uppers.

This Troper believes that ''{{Gantz}}'' was made without any planning, and is only the result of the author doing drugs and the writing/drawing what he sees.

''CosplayComplex'' could be seen as ''{{Genshiken}}'' with some creative drug use thrown in for good measure, at least when it comes to the cosplay part.

''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}'' Season 3. Clearly no one has ever been this high in the history of drugs.

That would be date-rape drugs, given the premise. Season 4, however, started overdosing on downers and horse tranquilizers to erase the memory of what Season 3's bender wrought.

A good number of This Troper's friends refer to ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' as being "made of cocaine and glitter."

Which means ''TheWallflower'' is made of bishounen, crack, blood, weed and LSD, mixed with mind fuck and Nabeshin's off the wall sense of humor.

''OnePiece'' is ''{{Pirates of the Caribbean}}'' on crack, steroids, and magical fruit.

Which means the English dub is ''Pirates'' on salt, vitamins and completely ordinary fruit.

Not anymore, now it's on five times the crack the dub of ''DragonBallZ'' was taking. {{Funimation}}'s ''really'' upped their game.

The manga is now ''DragonBall'' on testosterone, glitter, lethal doses of LSD, hot blood and ''fabulous''.

''CodeGeass'' is pretty much ''{{V for Vendetta}}'' on a nuclear drug cocktail and with rollerskating mecha.

It's ''{{s-CRY-ed}}'' meets ''{{Eureka 7}}'' on PCP.

No, it's ''DeathNote'' on antidepressants and either a very small amount of LSD or a very large amount of pot.

You're all wrong. It's ''MobileSuitGundam'' on ham.

Mobile Suit Gundam on ham is G Gundam and you know it.

''Nightmare of Nunnally'' is ''Code Geass'' on ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'', which in themselves are way too many drugs to count.

''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' on a lot of antidepressants. Shinji also got put on testosterone.

No, no, no. It's obviously NeonGenesisEvangelion trying to run WorldOfDarkness while TheLoonie is on acid, the {{Munchkin}} is trying to prove he can handle more acid than TheLoonie, TheRealMan is on pot, and TheRoleplayer is alternating between drunk and meth psychosis...

''{{Genocyber}}'' (or mainly, the 1st episode) could be seen as basically ''{{Akira}}'' mixed with ''ElfenLied'', with large amounts of methamphetamine and PCP. For those who have watched ''Akira'' and ''Elfen Lied'', that's saying quite a lot.

It also NeedsMoreLove.

''Nekojuri-so'' ("Cat Soup") is advertised on the covers as "Hello Kitty on crack" -- which is an {{understatement}} if This Troper ever saw one.

More like HelloKitty shooting up ketamine.

''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' is like your standard murder mystery with bipolar disorder and given PCP as treatment.

This Troper has heard it described by someone at [=AnimeSuki=] as being like a train wreck, only with "different trains wrecking with roughly the same passengers into a variety of different objects. Also, the trains are driven by monkeys. On LSD."

The sequel, ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', is ''DetectiveConan'' on leaf, more PCP and a bunch of other hallucenigenics, with a dash of ''PhoenixWright'' for good measure.

Why don'tcha add HappyTreeFriends while you're at it?

The CrossOver, Umineko X, is Umineko on Higurashi and acid.

''BLAME!'' isn't so much a GainaxEnding on an acid trip as much as it's an acid trip leading up to a GainaxEnding.

Nah. ''Blame!'' is a mixture of ''Texhnolyze'' on antipsychotics, a thorough dose of SerialExperimentsLain on heroin, and a good helping of feel-good-Thorazine. Complete Awesomenessss...

''RanmaOneHalf'' is the ''DragonBall'' series on crack, mixed with GenderBender, Psychos, a [[LoveDodecahedron Love '''Dodecahedron''', therefore a WidgetSeries on acid.

''MazeMegaburstSpace'' is ''RanmaOneHalf'', ''TheSlayers'' and ''SorcererStabberOrphen'', on crack, acid, and all sorts of drugs.

''{{Kaiba}}'' is ''AstroBoy'' meets ''TheLittlePrince'' on acid and whatever the heck Mantle was smoking in the first episode that made smoke come out of his ears.

''SetoNoHanayome'' is the Tom Hanks movie ''{{Splash}}'' on a highly dangerous cocktail of substances including but not limited to crack, speed, acid, steroids, and possibly ''Excel Saga''.

''{{Mai-HiME}}'' and ''{{Mai-Otome}}'' are both ''{{s-CRY-ed}}'' and ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' on a whole bunch of steroids, cigarettes, LSD, crack, and acid trip Especially with [=Mai-HiME's=] depressing ending

ending?! If anything, ending for [=Mai-HiME=] is the one episode where writers sober up, go clean, and take a lot of Prozac and listen to some elevator music for ten minutes. Seriously, everyone comes back to life, no matter how arbitrarily!

The ending is ''Mai-Hime'' with its brains scooped out, blended for 40 minutes and randomly readministered via IV.

''{{Noir}}'' is ''SapphireAndSteel'' on LSD, heroin, and lesbianism, with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

No, that's ''{{Madlax}}''. ''{{Noir}}'' is just Joanna Lumley snorting gunpowder.

This Troper isn't quite sure what Matsui Yuusei is on, but she figures that it must be pretty damn good.

''ZeroNoTsukaima'' can very well be described as ''InuYasha'' meets ''RieKugimiya'' on a hint of acid, a bit of LSD, a good deal of alcohol, and a massive overdose of aphrodisiacs. Oh, and pain. One can insert ''HarryPotter'' into this where one feels it is most appropriate.

Acid and LSD? Ayyyeeeeeeeeeeee!

This troper prefers to describe it as ''Harry Potter'' on crack. It has a nice ring to it.

''GaReiZero'' is, for This Troper, is his experience on ''{{Mother 3}}'', ''Left4Dead'', ''{{Spore}}'', ''TraumaCenter'', ''HalfLife'' and... well, every game This Troper plays, mostly on Steam, and mix it up with hot chick, acid, and crack.

''MariaHolic'' can be described as ''MariaSamaGaMiteru'' that was on Prozac then mixed in with lots and lots of crack.

''{{SoulTaker}}'' is ''{{Devilman}}'' on whatever they used to make ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''.

''FrankenFran'' is basically a comedy version of ''BlackJack'' on serious acid and a cocktail of prescription drugs, not to mention undistilled BodyHorror. Also, fanservice.

Jack Rakan is Kamina on a buttload of steroids. Just replace the swords with drills and have him yell "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?!?!" It wouldn't be remotely out of character.

{{CLAMP}} is... well, I'm not sure what they're on, and I'm not sure what to compare them to, but whatever those four ladies are taking I want some. Anyone read ''{{xxxHolic}}'' or ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' lately?

Human eyeballs, the play ''Oedipus Rex'', the blood of Xanatos, and too many soap operas with "identical twin" plots.

Considering the pretty casts, and large amounts of MindScrew they both share; {{CLAMP}} and Kaori Yuki are most likely on the same drugs.

This Troper believes that they've smoked too many Clow Cards.

''Duklyon'' is CLAMP after taking LSD and watching too much ''TenchiMuyo!''

TsubasaReservoirChronicle is what happens when CLAMP takes every manga they've every written, tossed them in a cannon, shot it off, then went around picking up random page pieces, loosely fitting them together blindfolded and then drawing in the remaining tie-in bits while on LSD and speed. That's really the only way to explain how it came about.

''HaruhiSuzumiya'' is pretty much ''Lain'' on the blue pill and off her Ritalin.

Naw, ''Haruhi'' is the acid-droppin' lovechild of BackToTheFuture and TheTwilightZone, raised by Ferris Bueller

C'mon! HaruhiSuzumiya is what happens when you take Asuka from ''NGE'', Lain from ''Serial Experiments'', stick them in a blender, and then give the outcome electroshock.

I like to describe it as being Katteni Kaizo after it took anti-depresants and smoked something weird.

Isaac and Miria are Pumpkin and Honey Bunny on crack and acid.

''NerimaDaikonBrothers'' is basically ''TheBluesBrothers'' with a Gender Bent version of Zenigata on a whole bunch of crack, pot, and whatever the hell kinda drug you can think of

''{{Fist of the North Star}}'' is what a cross between ''MadMax'' and Bruce Lee movies would be like on steroids.

The tagline for ''{{Paprika}}'' is either "This is your brain on Anime" or "This is what Anime does to your brain", depending on the localization.

''MiraiNikki'' is ''TheWorldEndsWithYou'' on steroids and speed. And huge amounts of {{Yandere}}.

''MiraiNikki'' is also ''DeathNote'' on Steroids, Speed, Ecstacy, and PCP, all while on a bad Acid Trip & chugging a case of Red Bull.

''ToLoveRu'' is basically ''UruseiYatsura'' on crack, LSD and acid.

So it's on crack, acid, and then MORE ACID?

Honestly, I think ''{{To-Love-Ru}}'' is ''{{Black Cat}}'' on whatever drugs ''{{Karin}}'' is on, with some ''{{DragonBall}}'' Thrown in.

''GegegeNoKitaro'' is what you get when you take several shelfloads of Japanese and non-Japanese mythology, copious amounts of beer, mixed with a big sack of crack.

The anime ''Negima!?'' is ''MahouSenseiNegima'' on Hallucinogens.

''Negima!? Neo'' -- ''Mahou Sensei Negima'' on Ritalin and Butterbeer.

The later chapters of ''Mahou Sensei Negima'' are what happens when a harem comedy starts secretly injecting Super Saiyan extract and snorting powdered materia in the locker room before performances.

''BoogiepopPhantom'' is ''SerialExperimentsLain'' mixed with ''ParanoiaAgent'' and (more) LSD.

In a psychotic fugue. Really.

''AxisPowersHetalia'' is History on antidepressants and Bishonen.

This troper has said that, "Hetalia is World History, drunk, in a gay bar."

''UFOPrincessValkyrie'' is ''TenchiMuyo!'' blended with ''AhMyGoddess!'' on LSD.

''KatekyoHitmanReborn'' can probably be described as a Mafia story trying to mix LSD with green tea, LOTS AND LOTS OF PINEAPPLES, marshmallows all over a roaring flame with some strange powder added to make it glow the color of the rainbow.

And tuna. You can't forget the tuna.

A bicycle made of tuna. And everyone gets a ride, judging by the fanbase and the copious amounts of Ho Yay

''AsuraCryin'' can be described as LighterAndSofter ''Evangelion'' put into ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', ''HaruhiSuzumiya'' and every mixture used to made ''Warhammer40000'' for extra awesome!

Then suddenly thrown on DownerEnding at the last episode.

''ChaosHead'' is any otaku's (or hikikomori's) life on delusion-inducing substances.

''{{Gintama}}'' is basically ''RurouniKenshin'' on pot, salt LSD's, reefer, and any other drug you can think of, mixed with pop culture references, parody and ''Lupin III'' thinking it's in the future.

''{{Rin-ne}}'' is ''InuYasha'' on mood stabilizers.

''{{Rin-ne}}'' is a post-op Bleach on Ritalin

''{{NEEDLESS}}'' is ''DragonBallZ'', ''GurrenLagann'', ''{{X-Men}}'', and hints of ''{{FLCL}}'' on crack , Hawaiian baby woodrose, LSD, pot, and lots and lots of Rockstar energy drink.

''DeathNote'' is what happens when Xanatos takes speeeeeeeeed.

No, it's Xanatos on speed, acid, and crack

And potato chips.

''{{Pokemon}}: The First Movie'' is ''Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass'' meets ''DeathNote'' on acid and a massive overdose of PCP.

''{{Pokemon}}: Spell of the Unown'' is {{Pokemon}} doing modern art using a geode as inspiration all while dropping acid.

One of the few logical conclusions this troper can come up with is that ''PokemonSpecial'' is a result of the Pokemon anime having its Ritalin and kiddy drugs replaced with Powerthirst.

{{Mind Game}} contains several scenes that are not unsimilar to an LSD experience (I think?). That as well as having an unlikely story (being revived by a God that constantly morphs into weird creatures, and living inside a huge whale for a while).

''SoulEater'' is clearly ''{{Bleach}}'' on LSD.

Whatever it's on, half-way through the series, it got sold a '''really''' bad batch of it.

Only in the anime, in the manga someone just decided to shoot up meth.

Might also count as {{Bleach}} on ether, mescaline and heroin. In a good way.

And here I was thinking it was {{Bleach}} cosplaying as Death from ''{{Sandman}}'' while on crack.

''BlackLagoon'' is ''CowboyBebop'' OD'ing on speed in the middle of Thailand.

On steroids. And someone was definitely sniffing glue when they came up with the nightmare twins.

I have heard ''Zetman'' described as 'Batman on crack'. I tried describing it to a friend, and failed miserably to come up with any better description myself.

No way, Zetman is the superhero premise, thrown in a dark room by itself for ten years upon which it mutated into a horrific monster gone mad and forced to re-enter society and pretend it didn't happen while on anti-psychotics that aren't working and occasionally make it hallucinate.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is Fist of the North Star on FAAAAABULOUS and POWERTHIRST

TheSlayers is DungeonsandDragons and/or WordofWarcraft on crack mixed with laughing gass.

''SerialExperimentsLain'' is...Well, no one really knows actually. One theory is that it's a postmodern technopunk version of RealLife, on tons and tons of acid. And yes, that makes about as much sense as the series itself.

''SerialExperimentsLain'' is ''Neuromancer'' after sniffing glue and marker vapor with both nostrils at the same time.

Nah, ''SerialExperimentsLain'' is what happens when you take two-parts NeonGenesisEvangelion, 1-part Akira, and mix the entire thing with meth. ''Then'' you take it off its antipsychotics and you see what happens. (Still awesome though...)

''{{Bakuman}}'' is ''WelcomeToTheNHK'' back on its meds.

Amateurs. ''{{Catnapped}}'' is ''TheCatReturns'' on every kind of hallucinogen known to man and then some. And it was made ten years earlier too!

To make a good comparison for what ''KyouranKazokuNikki'' is, you have to be pretty high. ''Just look at the eyes''

''{{Karas}}'' is ''SuperSentai'' on ''TheMatrix'' and extreme amounts of Crack, LSD, and Speed.

''Sex Pistols'' (or Love Pistols) is ''FruitsBasket'' on steroids, viagra, and LSD. No seriously. That is ''exactly'' what it is.

''{{Texhnolyze}}'' is ''SerialExperimentsLain'' on a lot of amphetamines, steroids, and stuck in the middle of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. (Also, taken off all antipsychotic medication).

''{{RahXephon}}'' is Evangelion with a more coherent plot and a real ending. In other words, it's Evangelion on anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs that actually work.

''Series/DesertPunk'' is ''{{Trigun}}'' on Barry White and jello shots.

''{{Redline}}'' can only be described as ''InitialD'' or ''WanganMidnight'' on massive doses of LSD.

''{{Strawberry Panic}}'' is often described as ''Maria-sama Ga Miteru'' on crack.

''PrincessTutu'' is Wagner and Tchaikovsky on Ludwig II's hidden stash of ecstasy.

''SeikonNoQwaser'' is FullMetalAlchemist on Lactose.

''KyoKaraMaoh''...a bit like ''FushigiYuugi'' but with a male protagonist and more yaoi, mixed with a heavy dose of acid.

''{{Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt}}'' is the Girls}}'' ''DirtyPair'' on crack, Viagra, and drain cleaner.

Well, the studio was drunk, anyways. This much is true.

''{{Baccano}}!'' is what happens when ''FullMetalAlchemist'' gets knocked up by ''PulpFiction'' then does copious amounts of the LSD it bought from {{CowboyBebop}} ...In 1930's New York.

''{{Durarara}}'' is what happens when a slice of life high school drama gets bitch slapped by CrazyAwesome while doing Meth.

And in the middle of this, Shizuo does PCP.

''{{Rune Soldier}}'' is ''Record of Lodoss War'' (or any D&D for that matter) on weed and nitrous.

''{{TheMoomins}}'' is your average SugarBowl fairytale on a bad trip on shrooms. In a very good way.

Moominpappa apparently does cocaine as a cure for midlife crisis. It works.

''{{Kinos Journey}}'' is ''TheLittlePrince'' on '''less''' drugs, but on a motorbike. It seems to take loads of the red pill, though.

It gets it's own druggy moments, but they look more like it's low on sugar.

''{{The Noozles}}'' is ''The Adventures of the Little Koala'' on acid.

''BrainPowerd'' is ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' on antidepressants.

A man who at least knew his own reputation, Salvador Dali once said "I do not take drugs. I ''am'' drugs."

Pretty much all of the Dadaist movement.

From a discussion of board game examples of this trope: #QUOTE# [''Attack!''] is ''Risk'' on steroids.\\ Ah, but perhaps ''Risk'' is ''Attack!'' on Valium?

The comic book ''StarWars Legacy'': "''StarWars'' on steroids."

The old Marvel comics were ''StarWars'' on crack.

Grant Morrison's run on '''anything''' has invariably been described as being on one or all of the above substances. Then again, he sometimes is on one or all of the above substances while writing...

Ditto AlanMoore. In fact, there appears to be an unwritten law that every comic book written by a British author in the last twenty years will involve a main character having at least one extended psychedelic trip. (Neil Gaiman's ''TheSandman'' being the major exception, as a comic with the motif of dreams is bound to be trippy enough without drugs.)

Except that ''Delirium'' is essentially a bad acid trip ''with a pulse''.

ThisTroper once heard the famous hell spread from Sandman #4 as "Dr. Seuss on some bad acid"

Tony Bedard, when he heard that ''Negation'' had been described as "''{{Farscape}}'' on crack" replied that he thought of it more as crack... on crack.

Warren Ellis' ''{{Nextwave}}'' is a superhero team-up book off its meds, with a ton of sugar, booze, and gunpowder.

Or ''TheAuthority'' as imagined by Beavis after drinking a case of Red Bull.

Ellis himself actually called Nextwave "The crack cocaine of comic books: It will leve you broke and toothless lying naked on the street in a puddle of your own urine, but strangely craving more."

And one comic review site called H.A.T.E. "SHIELD on crack. And acid. And speed. And numerous other kinds of dangerous and illegal drugs."

''TheMetabarons'' is ''{{Dune}}'' on Crack and Steroids, though anything by Jodorowsky seems to follow this.

In turn, ''TheTechnopriests'' is ''TheMetabarons'' on Crack, LSD and religious fundamentalism.

''Marvel Adventures: Comicbook/TheAvengers'' is the regular ''616 Avengers'' with a fist full of antidepressants jammed down its throat, then given a ton of the best crack money can by. Indeed, the series is usually the crackiest thing Marvel produces regularly.

Now, how to describe the nigh-legendary {{Deadpool}}.... Wolverine, Spiderman, Iceman, Human Torch, Nick Fury, etc., on every drug possible? He could probably do it, considering he is unkillable and has a healing factor that puts Hulk, Sabertooth, and Wolverine to shame.

He ''has'' been summarized as "an outlaw Spider-Man on speed", although this was more his personality than his power set.

''{{Deadpool}}'' is every AntiHero story on about '''3 tons of LSD'''. It explains the NoFourthWall.

''{{FoxTrot}}'' is ''{{Calvin and Hobbes}}'' on ritalin.

Ahem.

''{{Casey and Andy}}'' is ''Calvin and Hobbes'' on speed.

Matt Fraction's Casanova is a spy comic on... Something, that's for sure.

Dean Motter's Mr. X is German Expressionism, ArtDeco, Cyberpunk and Film Noir mixed together with some healthy doses of Poltrecaine and Insomnalin.

And DoktorSleepless is DeanMotter's Mr. X on Ecstasy.

Maki P's TroperWorks/{{Makiverse}} is more or less the Dark Age in a massive dose of antidepresants and a bit of CutLexLuthorACheck

''Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged'' is ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' providing more of the drugs. [-IN AMERICA-]!

This troper would argue that ''[=Yu-Gi-Oh!=] Abridged'' is ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' '''without''' the drugs.

[-IN AMERICA-]!

You lot had ''better'' be [-IN AMERICA-]! Only Americans can say [-IN AMERICA-]! You're not ever wearing a flag on your head!

''Out of the Shadows'' is ''LandBeforeTime'' on a bad acid trip.

''War of the Worlds'' is ''LandBeforeTime'' on peyote.

''PotterPuppetPals'' is ''HarryPotter'' on helium and coke. Not cocaine; just regular old Coca-Cola. But ''lots'' of it.

AeonNatumEngel is ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' on a mixture of Anti-Depressents, LSD, and various other Psychoactives.

Code ANGEL/Infinite Crisis is {{Code Lyoko}} after smoking a few pounds of {{Xanatos speed chess}}... and depressants.

''[=~Latias' Journey~=]'' is ''{{Pokemon}}'' tripping balls on every hallucinogen known. On meth. And PCP. And Rare Candies. While huffing nitrous oxide. And off its mood stabilizers.

The sequel somehow manages to top it in every way.

Most Literal Example: ''FanFic/WilliamCountry'' is a typical ''TotalDramaIsland'' fan fic (and, to a lesser extent, the original series it's self) on crack. The creator admits to doing some parts on drugs, and boy does it show. a random part where two wholly beavers start humping all of a hudden and a random cut with "THIS MOVIE IS NOW UNRATED!" added leading to another cut with "Let's MPEG this fucker, bitch!". Even then, the movie is a little strange even in the parts made sober (because of the program used to make this. It has an... odd art style slightly similar to TDI's but at the same time not). What's worse is that when the episodes are uploaded, they are out of chronological order.

The ''[=~Poké Wars Trilogy~=]'' is ''{{Pokemon}}'' shooting up steroids while smoking meth and PCP.

Evershadow Genesis, this troper's second work, is his first, New Dawn, off its antidepressants, on most hallucinogenics.

And on a related note, Fall D.Ark Tyrant is essentially what happens when you mash together EndOfEvangelion and DGrayMan, take away any anti depressants left, and put the resulting mess on powerful pain killers and hallucinogenics.

''Fanfic/{{Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality}}'' is HP on near-lethal doses of Ritalin and intelligence enhancers.

''Fanfic/ThirtyHs'' is HarryPotter going through a 'roid rage of truly cosmic proportions. Acid is probably involved, too.

''Fanfic/MyInnerLife'' is ''TheLegendOfZelda'' with foetal alcohol syndrome. Sometimes literally.

''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound 2'' is basically Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound on LSD, Lucozade, and a LOT of blue Smarties.

''{{Shrooms}}'' was described as "''Blair Witch'' on acid" on release -- several people has noted that it should really be ''Blair Witch'' on... well, ''shrooms.''

''{{Cloverfield}}'' could reasonably be compared to ''Blair Witch'' on steroids.

''Blair Witch'' is ''Cannibal Holocaust'' on a bad acid trip, instead of heroin.

''MidsomerMurders'': Agatha Christie on speed.

''El Topo'' can be accurately described as "''Django'' on (even more) acid".

The {{John Waters}} film ''Cry-Baby'': "''Grease'' on drugs."

The musical ''AvenueQ'' has often been described as ''TheMuppets'' on crack, but Peter Jackson's ''{{Meet the Feebles}}'' really ''is''.

''The Elm-Chanted Forest'' is drugs: the movie. It even goes so far as to feature a ''literal'' MushroomSamba -- as in, actual dancing mushrooms. And singing, animated, anthropomorphic ones at that!

Well, so did ''{{Fantasia}}''...

Not like this, they didn't.

The hallucinated masquerade ball scene in ''{{Labyrinth}}'' ("As the World Falls Down...") prompted the comment: "This movie is the visual equivalent of crack."

''MirrorMask'' is ''Labyrinth'' after lots of tea and cakes.

The UnfortunateImplications of ''300'' has lead to its critics calling it "''Triumph of the Will'' on steroids."

The movie itself can be described as GreekMythology soaked in Powerthirst.

''Film/ShootEmUp'' is THE action movie on crack, steroids, and PCP. Can't forget the PCP.

''PineappleExpress'' is ''HotFuzz'' on massive amounts of pot.

And given that ''HotFuzz'' itself is a police drama on massive amounts of crack....

''TheFinalSacrifice'' is ''IndianaJones'', in Canada, sans budget, on valium, and with some really stupid names.

And very drunk on beer from the sun.

Gary Oldman has described Heath Ledger's turn as The Joker in ''TheDarkKnight'' as "Johnny Rotten... meets Alex from ''AClockworkOrange''... on crack."

There might be some TomWaits in there, too.

The movie ''Fur'', "Disney's ''BeautyAndTheBeast''" set in the 1950s on acid.

''Conan the Destroyer'' is ''ConanTheBarbarian'' lobotomised and given LSD milkshakes.

Coincidentally, the ''Conan The Barbarian'' movie is ''ConanTheBarbarian'' on... (what's a drug that makes you less violent, less racist and more Nietzschan?)

Ritalin.

The 1980 ''{{Dune}}'' movie is ''StarWars'' on spice.

Makes sense when you consider that ''StarWars'' is ''{{Dune}}'' diluted through homeopathy.

''{{Eraserhead}}'' is a SitCom on a combination of [=NyQuil=] and acid. With various skin-diseases.

''{{Rabbits}}'', also by David Lynch, is a sitcom on a really bad trip. And David Lynch knows from bad trips (figuratively speaking).

''{{Fantasia}}'', and to a lesser extent ''Fantasia 2000'', can be described as any classical concert experience on acid.

''Film/WildWildWest'' must be a {{Western}} on crack.

''BigTroubleInLittleChina'' has to be on ''something''.

Herbal remedies?

Acupuncture needles coated in hashish oil?

Black Blood of the Earth!

Kung fu epic + Chinese ghost story on nitrous. And Jack Burton is John Wayne stoned out of his mind.

''{{Airplane}}!'' was ''MontyPython'' plus MelBrooks on speed.

''Day Watch'' and ''Night Watch'' drank ALL the cough syrup in Russia.

''TheBigLebowski'' is film noir smoking a J.

''TheProposition'' is that ''Ned Kelly'' movie, only drunk. And it's a violent drunk, but also a profound one.

David Cronenberg's version of ''TheFly'' is the original on some sort of hideous hallucinogen.

The same applies to John Carpenter's remake of ''The Thing''.

Strangely enough, the original movie is the original ''novella'' on paint fumes. John Carpenter's remake is actually closer to the novella than the original movie.

''TheMatrix'' is ''TheyLive!'' on a combination of pot and Monster energy drink.

This Troper has heard it described as ''{{Tron}}'' on crack.

No, it's ''{{Tron}}'' plus ''{{Neuromancer}}'' plus ''GhostInTheShell'' plus Buddhism plus TheBible plus Gnosticism plus ''They Live'' all on LSD....if that combination needed that.

How about {{TheInvisibles}} on smoked banana peels? peels being, uh, some fool's desperately poor substitute for the real thing?

The creators specifically showed their people ''GhostInTheShell'' to say what they wanted it to look like. Observe. ''TheMatrix'' is ''GhostInTheShell'' plus KeanuReeves on heroin after having taking a Philosophy 101 course while on acid.

Whereas ''eXistenZ'' is ''TheMatrix'' on shrooms, and having eaten a lot of fish as a child and completing that philosophy degree. And with JudeLaw instead of KeanuReeves.

''EvilDead 2'' is ''The EvilDead'' on nitrous oxide.

And ''Army of Darkness'' is ''EvilDead 2'' on PCP and more nitrous oxide set during the middle ages.

Anything by TimBurton is probably ''{{The Cabinet of Dr Caligari}}'', after cleaning itself up from opium.

''StrawDogs'' is your high-school math teacher, after drinking several gallons of pure adrenaline.

''Godzilla vs. Gigan'' is ''{{Godzilla}}'' on LSD, pot, and a variety of other things. I mean, he's fighting a robot alien bird-lizard with a buzzsaw in its stomach and hooks for hands. Serious.

''Godzilla vs. Hedorah'' is on even more drugs then that. Godzilla fights a giant piece of crap, and there are random cutaways to cartoons and occasional split screens. Oh and there's a scene where a guy in a club hallucinates and sees everyone dancing in fish head masks.

The American ''{{Godzilla}}'' movie was ''{{Godzilla}}'' on crap.

''{{Gamera}}'' is Godzilla on crack, and they just keep upping the dosage in each film. To wit: battering ram tongues gives way to blade-headed monsters while Gamera does gymnastics til finally Gamera not only fights a gumball hat, but it turns into a fish while Gamera ''plays his theme song on its spine like a xylophone''.

''[=~Pan's Labyrinth~=]'' is ''{{Narnia}}'' on heroin.

Alternately, ''The Spiderwick Chronicles'' having a really bad acid trip.

Or perhaps ''Pan's Labyrinth'' is what happens when ''{{Narnia}} starts coming down from the heroin... and realises they don't have another fix lined up.

''A Bug's Life'' is ''TheSevenSamurai'' after a Shirley Temple.

Whereas ''TheMagnificentSeven'' is what happens when ''The Seven Samurai'' switches from sake to whiskey.

The 1967 ''CasinoRoyale'' is ''JamesBond'' on five different drugs, with progressively more extreme interactions.

The 2006 ''CasinoRoyale'' has been called ''JamesBond'' on a low-fat diet.

''{{Inception}}'' is ''{{Psychonauts}}'' after rehab and a conversion to Buddhism.

Or it's ''GhostInTheShell'' tripping balls off acid while watching ''[=~Ocean's Eleven~=]'' and then decides to sleep it off with some Ambien.

''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'' is the life of Jacques Cousteau, on pot.

''{{Manos the Hands of Fate}}'' is an urban myth with brain damage.

''Torgo'' was John Reynolds on acid. For real.

''TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' is ''Manos'' meets ''Frankenstein'' after a few Mojitos.

''TheBeastOfYuccaFlats'' is like going to Area 51 while stoned. You can actually get high just by watching this movie.

''Down by Law'' is ''RedZoneCuba'' on a highly complimentary combination of not-sucking and TomWaits.

''RobotMonster'' is itself on everything.

''Flatliners'' is the good, early years of ''E.R.'' on D.M.T.

''{{Zardoz}}'' is ''PlanetOfTheApes'' meets ''[=~Logan's Run~=]'' meets ''The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz'' on LSD, coke, crack, weed, heroin, speed, practically every known drug and ''then'' some!

Meta-example: In the film version of ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'', after flying from New York City to Savannah, GA and spending a week there, the main character calls a friend and reports, "This place is like ''Gone With the Wind''... on mescaline!"

''{{Troll 2}}'' is ''The Shadow Over Innsmouth'' after drinking some spoiled milk which is full of vitamin content. There's also a lot of ham in there somewhere.

This troper considers ''{{Troll 2}}'' to be ''ManosTheHandsOfFate'' on LSD and suspicious green broth.

''TheWickerMan'' is ''The Shadow Over Innsmouth'' on folk music and apples instead of fish and creepy old sea shanties.

''SinCity'' has actually been described as "film noir on crack."

Not to mention a little 'roid rage.

The 2008 ''SpeedRacer'' movie is the original series on pineapple juice with LSD mixed in traveling four-hundred miles per hour down a stretch of TV screens playing ''ExcelSaga''.

Or perhaps ''FZero'' on LSD.

Mistaking your psych meds for LSD and then riding a roller coaster during the climax of a fireworks show.

''Speed Racer'' is what you'd get if you were to play MarioKart for two hours whilst dropping acid and stuffing your face with rainbow sherbert the entire time.

''Titus'' by JulieTaymor is Shakespeare's original using a time machine while on LSD.

''Film/{{Xanadu}}'' is the result of an improbable lovechild of a Greek comedy, roller derby, and ''SaturdayNightFever'' conceived by a fertility drug laced with LSD, crack, and ether.

''{{Videodrome}}'' is late-night TV, probably watched in an unfamiliar hotel, with brain tumors and Marshall [=McLuhan=].

''{{Scanners}}'' is film noir on ephemerol.

''{{Mitchell}}'' is ''DirtyHarry'' after drinking lots of Old Milwaukee and eating a lot of sour cream tacos and getting no exercise for a few years.

''{{Madagascar}}'' is ''TheLionKing'' on drugs.

''KungFuHustle'' is what happens with the kung fu flick genre drinks a mixture of Red Bull and Power Thirst.

Every single film made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer is a parody film on LSD, PCP, cocaine, steroids, and on crack. I mean everything! And not in a good way.

''{{Spaceballs}}'' is ''StarWars'' on death sticks.

''MulhollandDrive'' is ''Sunset Boulevard'' on ketamine, with lesbians.

''BlueVelvet'' is ''TheHardyBoys'' on a bad acid trip, mixed with Heineken PABST! BLUE! RIBBON!

''HeavenlyCreatures'' is like ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'' on acid - which is all the more disturbing since it's ''based on a true story''.

''Re-Animator'' is HPLovecraft on speed and ''EvilDead 2''.

''The Collector'' is the {{Gorn}} 'phenomenom' on a sugar high and whatever made Dr. Manhatten the 'man' he is today.

''Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'' is ''A Fish Called Wanda'' on LSD.

''{{Fight Club}}'' was described by Edward Norton as being "fraternity boys on Nietzsche."

''{{Plan Nine from Outer Space}}'' is the lovechild of ''{{Night of the Living Dead}}'' and ''{{The Day the Earth Stood Still}}'' after being force-fed a mixture of pot, acid, and ''clueless broke writers.''

''Death at a Funeral'' is any other family-get-together movie you can think of on shrooms.

And some acid.

''PiratesOfTheCaribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl'' is every other pirate movie ever on a ton of marijuana and LSD. ''Dead Man's Chest'' and ''At World's End'' throw some cocaine and heroin into the mix.

''Cutthroat Island'' is every other pirate movie, only after drinking the bong water.

''Dr Phibes Rises Again'' is ''TheAbominableDrPhibes'' on even more heroin than before.

''{{Se7en}}'' is what happens when it goes into withdrawal and starts shivering.

''{{Saw}}'' (especially the sequels) is what happens when it becomes homeless and starts selling its body on the street.

''InglouriousBasterds'' is the entire WorldWarTwo movie genre on...''something''. Most likely acid and/or speed.

''BuckarooBanzai'' was ''DocSavage'' on LSD.

''[=~2012~=]'' is a DisasterMovie hooked up to an IV drip filled with Powerthirst.

FIGHTER-JET MADE OF BICEPS!

''Green Snake'' is an old chinese romantic fable on v...a mixed with that extra special Taoist temple incense, ''wink wink''.

''{{Freeway}}'' is LittleRedRidingHood jacked on pretty much every stimulant imaginable, with some testosterone and LSD thrown in for good measure.

''{{Avatar}}' is ''FernGully'' and ''DancesWithWolves'' on LSD and weed.

If ''SpeedRacer'' took ritalin, then designed a coffee table, then put running lights under it, the result would probably be ''TronLegacy''.

''{{Crank}}'' is every action movie ever made on...well...that one kind of speaks for itself.

''{{Brazil}}'' is ''NineteenEightyFour'' on LSD.

''TheStraightStory'' is DavidLynch after going - well - straight-edge.

''BladeRunner'' is ''{{Metropolis}}'' after forgetting to shave and probably a bit hungover and grouchy.

"Tetsuo the Iron Man" is "Eraserhead"'s PCP addicted kid brother.

''{{Rio}}'' is '''', ''FlushedAway'', ''{{Paulie}}'', and ''BeverlyHillsChihuahua'' on hallucinogens.

Hard-boiled detective fiction is AgathaChristie on alcohol, chain-smoking, gritty urban America and ''anti''-whodunnit-ism. Dare RaymondChandler to say the contrary.

Robert Louis Stevenson supposedly wrote ''{{The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde}}'' while delirious with fever.

In a 1971 paper published in the ''Journal of the American Medical Association'' (JAMA, 1971 Apr 5;216 (1):90-4), "The Strange Case of Robert Louis Stevenson: A Tale of Toxicology"), Myron Schultz theorized that cocaine is the culprit. He points to the fact that Stevenson wrote the story so quickly, despite his physical debility, and reported being exhilarated instead of exhausted by the experience.

In consideration of what got prescribed and why at the time of Stevenson writing it, both fever and cocaine may be the case.

''Clay'' is a ''The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys'' on both pot and acid.

William Gibson's novels are like Philip K. Dick on eighteen-syllable upper/hallucinogens so new they don't have a street nickname yet. (He only admits the influence of ''BladeRunner'', though.)

Probably because it's true. Gibson's worlds are much more like the crowded, dehumanized, pseudo-New York of ''BladeRunner'' than the depopulated, highly spiritual ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?''.

Sure, but many of Gibson's metaphysical investigations on "cyberspace" really read like elaborations on Philip K. Dick's investigations on the blurry status of reality and on identities in an increasingly instrumentalized world.

Alternatively, Gibson is Vinge using PCP and Morphine as painkillers -- and needing them.

''SnowCrash'' is Gibson on drugs, though.

This Troper theorizes that NealStephenson is Gibson off the LSD but on crack.

''{{Discworld}}'' is Tolkien on laughing gas and powdered tropes.

That's just the first couple of books. Sooner or later it's everything on everything on a turtle.

And in the same vein, ''GoodOmens'' is ''TheOmen'' on crack-laced banana daiquiris.

Alternatively, ''GoodOmens'' is ''{{Supernatural}}'' on laughing gas. ''And'' crack-laced banana daiquiris.

''{{The Areas of My Expertise}}'' is ''Poor Richard's Almanack'' getting either very high or very autistic.

''MoreInformationThanYouRequire'' is ''The Book of Lists'', only infested with axolotls, and it's probably all a screen memory anyway.

''{{The Crying of Lot 49}}'', by ThomasPynchon, has been compared to ''TheDaVinciCode'' on acid. As written by a talented person. And 37 years older.

''All'' of Pynchon's books need some time in rehab to chill out.

''Mason & Dixon'' is a history book that's had too much caffeine.

''{{Against the Day}}'' is old pulp fiction on psychotropics.

''Vineland'' is TheSixties, on drugs as always, and then TheEighties, also on drugs.

It's been said that Pynchon was doing a LOT of drugs during the '70s, so ''Gravity's Rainbow'' is essentially Pynchon on acid.

Mervyn Peake's body of work has actually been described as "Dickens on acid" ''in a BBC documentary''.

Kurt Vonnegut is... Hmm, I cannot think of any drug or mix of drugs that can account for Kurt Vonnegut.

A very large overdose of anti-manic medication?

Unfiltered Pall Malls and untreated PTSD?

Lithium and small doses of crack. If it made Sherlock Holmes speculative...

And of course ''{{Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas}}''... just pretty much owns this trope hands-down.

The last bit of Neil Gaiman's ''The Problem of Susan'' is ''Narnia'' on... well... probably suffering psychotic delusions from crystal meth abuse.

''Kubla Khan'' was S. T. Coleridge on opium, literally.

Once upon a time (or so we must believe, lest we go mad) Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson spent a weekend locked in the F[[spoiler:n]]or[[spoiler:d]]tean Times mailroom with a typewriter and five thousand sheets of LSD-impregnated blotting paper. Thus was born the ''IlluminatusTrilogy''.

The very premise of ''House of Leaves'' IS acid: a book about an unhinged dude who reads a book by a blind guy about a movie that never existed about a family that moves into a house that's also a totally insane, NightmareFuel living labyrinth. Oh, and this book the unhinged guy reads completely removes the hinges and leaves him, uh... different. Also, the very same book (y'know, the one ABOUT the movie) is burnt for light by THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE FUCKING MOVIE. Yeah...

This Is Your Premise on Scarecrow Fear Toxin.

''DeptfordMice'' is ''{{Redwall}}'' on a REALLY BAD acid trip.

''And the Ass Saw the Angel'' is William Faulkner meets Gabriel Garcia Marquez, with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, and then drunk on moonshine. As written by NickCave.

{{Alan Dean Foster}}'s ''Spellsinger'' series is ''Narnia'' on an unholy combination of pot and Viagra.

''Antigua'' is AirportFantasy on MDMA! Every sentence ends with an exclamation mark! And they're all very short! Read it aloud and you'll sound like you've been popping pills!! Read the sample if you dare!

''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' is AnneRice gone straight-edge except for some Ritalin. Until the last book anyway.

No, ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' is AnneRice fanfiction that was dropped on its head as a child.

No, ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' is AnneRice fanfiction cinderblocked as an infant without Lestat and starring a whiny brat.

''Christ the Lord'' is, quite literally, AnneRice gone straight-edge. The only blood-drinking is in the form of Holy Communion.

Harry Dresden has been called Gandalf on crack and an IV of Red Bull. By his own brother. The book series itself is the old WorldOfDarkness recovering from a bad hangover.

''[=~The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy~=]'' is ''Series/DoctorWho'' meets ''StarTrek'', on a three-week liquid diet of Pan-galactic {{Gargle Blaster}}s.

While staring into the Total Perspective Vortex at the same time.

No, on cocaine and shrooms. Michael-lan wouldn't lie. Well, okay, yes he would.

Joseph Conrad's ''Heart of Darkness'' is ''LordOfTheFlies'' on steroids.

''{{Coraline}}'' is ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''on a bad acid trip. And considering what ''Wonderland'' was like...

''WarriorCats'': what happens when ''{{Redwall}}'', ''{{Felidae}}'', and ''WatershipDown'' get drunk together.

''{{The Glove of Darth Vader}}'' is ''StarWars'' and ''CaptainPlanet'' on death sticks.

Speaking of ''StarWars'', LegacyOfTheForce is ''StarWars'' on lithium after it has been molested.

On a more positive note, ''TheForceUnleashed'' is ''StarWars'' on Powerthirst.

The works of RobertRankin are essentially ''TheGoonShow'' on crack, LSD, and {{Running Gag}}s.

''InfiniteJest'' is OneHundredYearsOfSolitude on meth. Isn't it?

''InfiniteJest'' the book is DMZ. ''InfiniteJest'' the movie is Talwin-PX. The real book is a made up drug and vice versa. (I think).

The current editions of the Charlie Mortdecai novels (about a depraved aristocratic anti-hero) use a description from an Amazon.com review: "Like Wodehouse on drugs with sex and violence."

''The PerksOfBeingAWallflower'' is TheCatcherintheRye on S.E. Hinton and Prozac.

Clive Barker is Stephen King on a crapload of magic mushrooms.

The ''Literature/Deathstalker'' series by Simon R Green is ''StarWars'' but forcefed a steady diet of PCP and crack, which increases constantly in a (successful) search for greater highs. This only results in awesomeness.

''TheBill'' is the British cop show on speed.

''HRPufnstuf'' is ''{{The Wizard of Oz}}'' on acid.

Sid and Marty Croft claim they never used drugs when they were working on ''HRPufnstuf'' or any of their other shows. The idea that their brains came up with all that ''without'' the help of chemicals is arguably ''more'' unsettling than the idea of kids watching a show based on an acid trip.

And then Mr. Show gives us a sketch where Sam and Kriminy Kraffft show an episode of their unaired series ''The Altered State of Drugachusettes.'' This troper can't remember if they denied that it was made on drugs or not. But really, does it matter?

''WonderShowzen'' is ''SesameStreet'' after an all-night binge of every single drug known to man while looking at 4chan's /b/ board all the way through.

''TheColbertReport'' is ''The O'Reilly Factor'' on Language}} TRUTHINESS!

According to Stephen himself, ''TheDailyShow'' is the evening news on acid.

''RedDwarf'': "''StarTrek'' on drugs."

What about "''StarTrek'' on four tones of curry before bedtime"?

''Red Dwarf'' was actually pitched by its creators as "SteptoeAndSon in space on acid."

''Chef!'' is ''Hell's Kitchen'' on pot

''The Armando Iannucci Shows'' are everything, drunk.

''SnuffBox'' is ''Armando Ianucci'' on snuff and whisk'''eyyyy'''!

''WalkingWithDinosaurs'' is a nature documentary on acid.

WilliamShatner arrived. After that, there was no hope.

''{{Life on Mars}}'' is what would happen if ''TheSweeney'' stayed up all night doing LSD and reading ''Sophie's World''.

''MrsColumbo'' is ''{{Columbo}}'' on stupid pills.

''TrueBlood'' is either Laurell K. Hamilton on Southern Comfort and removal of The Stick, or ''Attack of the Giant Leeches'' with more pr0n.

''DrewCareysImprovaganza'' is ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' when it had a hard night in Vegas and woke up with a hang over.

''{{Farscape}}'' is ''Blakes7'' on LSD, smoking a cigarette.

The first season of ''{{Torchwood}}'' is ''{{Angel}}'', ''TheXFiles'', and occasionally ''{{Supernatural}}'' on copious amounts of ecstasy and cocaine.

The third mini-season of ''{{Torchwood}}'' is the first two seasons off drugs, not taking its medication and after too much KlatchianCoffee.

''BetterOffTed'' can be best described as ''TheOffice'', minus Michael, on marijuana. And not cheap marijuana, but pure Mexican Gold with a buzz from coming off your anti-psychotics.

It's a live action ''{{Dilbert}}'' meets ''Working'' with hints of ''{{Eureka}}'' written by a team of a really sleepy AaronSorkin and a JossWhedon who's just winging it.

During his ''Live on Broadway'' special in 2002, RobinWilliams describe England's House of Commons as "like Congress with a two-drink minimum. Crazy place."

''{{Rome}}'' is ''IClaudius'' on steroids, with a Viagra chaser.

''{{Supernatural}}'' is ''GoodOmens'' after a three-day ''{{Torchwood}}'' marathon and a small lake's worth of Jack Daniels. In AMERICA!

Except that ''{{Supernatural}}'' premiere one full year before ''{{Torchwood}}'' did.

''ThisIsWonderland'' is ''LawAndOrder'', sobered up and without the order.

''{{Casualty 1906}}'' is ''The Royal'' drunk on port mixed with human horn and a bucket-load of steroids.

Or just ''{{Casualty}}'' on laudanum and stovaine.

{{Mr Show}} is a like a 17-year-old Python geek off his meds and overdosing on heroin.

''TheState'' is ''MontyPython'' on some really good weed, and a bottle of Jaegermeister while listening to Mr. Bungle.

''{{Bones}}'': ''{{CSI}}'' off its meds.

''DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' is ''DegrassiJuniorHigh'' on...something. It depends on the episode.

''TheXFiles'' is ''TwinPeaks'' off the hallucinogens, and with Duchovny no longer in drag. So really, what's the point?

{{Epica}} is {{Nightwish}} and WithinTemptation on steroids.

Mika is Freddie Mercury on about a handful of Prozac.

TheFlamingLips had an early compilation album called ''Finally the Punk Rockers are Taking Acid''.

TheFlamingLips are normal people on enough acid that they come back to sanity. Sadly, it's a very special and exclusive type of sanity. Fortunately, the songs are pretty good.

WeirdAlYankovic is pop songs on even more acid and speed. Which is ironic, considering that Al himself is known for being completely clean and sober.

The video to "Moskau by DschingisKhan" has been described as ''PowerRangers'' on acid.

Considering the chronology, it must actually be that ''PowerRangers'' is ''Moskau'' in detox.

AphexTwin is techno on every drug you've ever heard of.

VenetianSnares is techno on every drug you've ever heard of, and most of the ones that you haven't.

Sunn 0))): Doom metal on more heroin than you thought humanly possible, with Nyquil for blood.

TheyMightBeGiants are TheBeatles ''off'' drugs, but overdosing on coffee.

AndrewWK has been described as Mentos on speed.

The New York Dolls are the Rolling Stones with more heroin.

{{Emo}} has been described to this troper as "glam rock off its meds."

Replace the glam rock with '80s hair metal and you get VisualKei.

{{Coldplay}} is {{Radiohead}} on Prozac. Which can be a good thing considering what Radiohead's peddling lately.

More like Satriani on pot.

U2 on Qualuudes.

If {{Coldplay}} is {{Radiohead}} on Prozac, TV on the Radio is Radiohead with a blood transfusion given by Miles Davis.

{{Dragonforce}} is basically extremely overdose on speed AND whiskey.

J-Pop is western pop on a sugar high and some crack thrown in for good measure.

Nah, it's just the result of some short circuit electrocuting the guitarist while in the studio.

Funkadelic have been described as "the Temptations on acid."

{{Polysics}} is J Rock on crack.

Throw in speed and ecstasy and you have Melt Banana.

Throw in Special K, a moog, and an ANB record and you get The Locust.

Big & Rich's first album was Kid Rock on Red Bull and acid. The acidic nature mostly wore off on their second and third albums.

Rascal Flatts could be described as the Eagles meets the Backstreet Boys, on a mix of estrogen, Red Bull and helium.

This Troper's always thought that Pete Doherty was Syd Barret on crack. Or, Syd Barret was Pete Doherty on acid. Whichever way you prefer.

Psyopus is {{Atheist}} on shrooms, speed, PCP, and X.

Alternatively, The Dillinger Escape Plan is Psyopus on Quaaludes.

{{Mastodon}} is Eyehategod on acid.

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan, best known for their novelty hits "Tennessee Bird Walk" and "Humphrey the Camel", are "Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood on acid."

XJapan is Yoshiki on ecstasy (Captain Obvious visits!) weed Silver Oak Merlot any other booze that's expensive cocaine painkillers and who the fucking hell knows what else, hide (when he was alive) on acid weed speed and any alcohol available, Toshi on a Natural High (lol), Pata on Jack Daniels weed and possibly the fruit of the poppy, and Heath... well... yeah. Sugizo brings the weed and E back. ;)

Strictly speaking, the DavidBowie album ''Outside'' is ''Diamond Dogs'' '''off''' drugs. You wouldn't know by listening to it, though.

Also strictly speaking, The Thin White Duke is DavidBowie on cocaine, red peppers, and milk.

Esquivel is lounge music on massive quantities of PCP, speed, and peyote.

Animal Collective is The Beach Boys on every hallucinogen ever.

Streetlight Manifesto is ska music on steroids.

If StreetlightManifesto is ska on steriods, ReelBigFish is ska on beer.

Strapping Young Lad is Devin Townsend off his medication, Oh wait...

I'm In A Coffin is what happens when BlackMetal is going through withdrawal.

Owl City = The Postal Service on Prozac, mixed in with a little speed for good measure.

I've heard [=~{{Ke$ha}}~=] described as "If TaylorSwift got really, ''really'' wasted."

I've also heard the equation: Taylor Swift + vodka = Ke$ha.

Ke$ha is like one of Britney Spears' breakdowns, only with no buildup. And probably intentional.

TheVelvetUnderground is TheBeachBoys on heroin and valium.

Lou Reed is Billy Joel and Bob Dylan on heroin and spiked alcohol.

Some {{Vocaloid}} songs can be described as on LSD and/or crack. Namely, Upside Down Reversed Rainbow.

{{Tool}} is KingCrimson and {{Yes}} on multiple hallucinogens at once. (Why can't we not be sober?)

MaximumTheHormone is DirEnGrey on Prozac.

TomWaits could be described as BobDylan (considering how nonsensical some of his lyrics are), after eating 12 packs of cigarettes a day for breakfast, mixed with a few different types of alcohol, and injected with undiluted essence of Weird and Creepy.

Florence and The Machine can be aptly described as Evanescence on Prozac, with a bit of LSD for good measure.

AliceCooper: Motley Crue on ''different'' drugs.

Motley Crue - heroin + meth + PCP + bad acid + eating babies = Alice Cooper.

Alternatively, Rob Zombie - death-crazed sex + obsession with death itself = Alice Cooper.

Marilyn Manson - fixation with S&M and Nazis = Alice Cooper

CaptainBeefheart is music on acid... on acid.

{{Music/Muse}} is {{Queen}} smoking ''really'' good weed while reading Orwell and listening to JimiHendrix.

Dread Zeppelin is classic rock on ''copious'' amounts of ganja.

NickCave is JohnnyCash on some kind of terrifying Australian bathtub gin.

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are The Birthday Party (or maybe TheDoors) on Freud.

BobDylan's ""Queen Jane Approximately"" is "Like a Rolling Stone" on valium.

The musical ''Alice in Concert'' is LewisCarroll's ''Alice'' books on even more drugs than they were already on.

TomWaits' musical ''Alice'' is the book sobering up and realizing what it's done.

Another TomWaits musical, ''Woyzeck'', is the original Buchner play on a bad acid trip. Considering that the original play was about a man who eats nothing but peas and goes crazy, we're in for some weird shit.

And ''The Black Rider'' is ''Der Freischütz'' after drinking a few gallons of HighOctaneNightmareFuel. With a libretto by William S. Burroughs.

''Frank's Wild Years'' is what would happen if ''{{Friends}}'' were a sad drunk instead of a happy drunk.

''AvenueQ'' is ''SesameStreet'', all grown up and drunk.

''IntoTheWoods'' is several major fairytales on hallucinations and with a bad hangover (or at least Act II is).

''ThePiratesOfPenzance'' is ''TreasureIsland'' after a lot of tea and feeling very polite.

Conservapedia is {{Wikipedia}} after overdosing on whatever painkillers are in RushLimbaugh's medicine cabinet.

And Wikiality is Wikipedia on Vaxadrin. With ''all'' the side effects.

TV Tropes is Wikipedia on... on... Dude... Wha?

Hey, "Puff-puff-pass!" That's the rule!

Nah, TV Tropes is definitely Wikipedia on medicinal marijuana. And a pinch of sugar.

{{Uncyclopedia}} is Wikipedia on... erm... what drug turns you into Bizarro?

PCP, although that drug applies more to Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Uncyclopedia is Wikipedia on kittens.

{{Wikipedia}} is an encyclopedia [-ON THE INTERNET!-] What? It is.

''Drunken History'' is history, drunk.

Anonymous is Hackers on Steroids.

More like script kiddies with delusions of grandeur, at best.

Not according to Fox News.

"Anonymous is not a group of hackers. Anonymous is more like gremlins. They are hyperactive adolescents in search of amusement and joy, which they often get by upsetting people and making messes." -- Anonymous

A YouTube commenter compared ''{{Charlie the Unicorn}}'' to "watching ''MyLittlePony'' on acid". The sequel is on even more acid, or possibly hallucinogenic banana peels.

Myth.

On Usenet, don't let the title of the newsgroup "alt.startrek.vs.starwars" fool you. It's not so much the ultimate meeting place of sci-fi geekdom as much as it is your average newsgroup huffing tons and tons of inhalants -- which is of course why it's so awesome.

Neopets was ''{{Pokemon}}'' on (more) crack. Well, nowadays, it's ''Pokemon'' on morphine, and maybe (just maybe) Valium, or some generic sleep pill. Or just a hyperactive ''Pokemon'''s child with sugar overdose, depending on the current site's mood.

The Internet is Reality on a Wide mixture of drugs, including Viagra. Seriously, look at most forums and chatrooms.

Scientology makes a lot more sense when one considers how many drugs L. Ron Hubbard used: Cocaine, amphetamines, peyote, antipsychotics, barbituates, alcohol and probably more. One visitor to his yacht described his drug chest having everything. [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16337_p4.html]]

Interesingly, this troper received a large, flashy Scientology banner ad upon viewing this page. The significance of this was not lost.

Pastafarianism is Christianity on pasta. Ramen.

Egyptian mythology is Greek mythology on acid, and Norse mythology is Greek mythology on steroids and methamphetamine.

And Roman mythology is Greek mythology on ecstasy, sleeping pills, and LARGE amounts of wine.

Similarly, Hindu mythology is Iranian mythology on soma (we don't know what it was, but it was apparently a lot like mescaline). Iranian mythology, in turn (before {{Zoroastrianism}} anyway) was Greek mythology that reconsidered while sober all decisions made while drunk, and vice-versa.

In many cases, Sufism is Islam on weed. In most cases, Sufism is Islam on coffee-fueled meditation.

''{{Warhammer}} Fantasy'' is ''{{The Lord of the Rings}}'' on a cocktail of steroids and GBH.

And ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' is the above on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with ''{{Alien}}'', ''Mechwarrior'', ''StarshipTroopers'' and ''StarWars'', bathed in blood and turned up to eleventy billion (and then set on fire). Twice. With chainsaws.

Don't forget the secret ingredient: whatever “drugâ€&# 65533; Scarecrow tried to deal. It's the one which would take you places... but he never said they'd be places that you wanted to go.

"Every drug known to man" include sedatives. A large section of them, I will concede.

In the grim darkness of the future, Mankind has also discovered and invented a number of drugs designed to help one keep up in combat. Taking enough of them can cause one to explode upon death. Consider those included.

''Unknown Armies'' is ''Mage: The Ascension'' on Mars Dust, Solar Gold and the Universal Perceptual Solvent.

And ''MageTheAscension'', in turn, is ChangelingTheDreaming taking the Liriel approach to deciding what to smoke (anything and everything that ''isn't'' an actual drug). No mean feat, given that Changeling is D20ModernArcana on acid.

''{{Paranoia}}'' is ''{{Catch-22}}'' on crack, gelgernine, futanic acid, Little Black Friend, and LSD-contaminated Bouncy Bubble Beverage, with telescopamine administered by Internal Security.

''TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression'' is ''MageTheAscension'' ''Guide to the Technocracy''/''Traditionbook:Etherites'' on Ritalin.

''Bodas de Sangre'' is ''The Archers'' having a psychotic break while drinking a Bloody Mary.

The writer of a guidebook to Universal Studios in Orlando described the E.T. ride as "It's a Small World on acid." It's pretty much an accurate description.

''Noby Noby Boy'' is like the cellphone classic ''Snake'' on whatever drug is fashionable in Japan these days.

It also comes from the guy who did ''KatamariDamacy'', so that guy must ''really'' like his drugs.

''Synaesthete'' is action RPG meets ''Beatmania'' on whatever kind of hallucinogen the developer uses.

''AceAttorney'' is the legal system on pot, with just a hint of meth and some LSD for the "psychic" portions.

It's more like ''{{Law and Order}}'' on speed, while the writers were just watching Ms. Cleo and the only thing to eat in the house was covered in hallucinogenic fungus...

''{{Rez}}'' is shooter game meets ''Tron'' with electronic music for sound, on a mix of NyQuil and LSD, and ''hooked to a personal vibrator''. No, that last part ''isn't'' metaphorical.

The extra Trance Mission within the game is Rez itself on the same mix above, and add it with a lot of pot.

''FateStayNight'' is effectively ancient mythology on enough drugs to drop a horse. A flying horse.

''FateStrangeFake'' is what happens when the mages involved in the above decide that it would be even ''more'' awesome if they messed with the fabric of reality ''again'' -- this time, while drunk.

This editor remembers this description of ''{{killer7}}'': "Imagine if Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino spent a drunken weekend watching anime, and then decided to make a video game while dropping LSD."

This Troper felt it to be like ''ResidentEvil'' at first. By the end, I was thinking "This is ''ResidentEvil'' on everything."

''NinjaGaiden'' played a lot like ''{{Castlevania}}'' -- only on steroids and speed."

''American McGee's Alice'' is the ''Alice'' books when they stopped taking the drugs. (And then you realize why they needed them in the first place.)

The intro-fic that accompanied the game was all kinds of awesome. The intro-fic is the original Alice books on more acid and shrooms and pot and all manner of weird chemical substances. They should've spent more time on the game and less time on the intro-fic.

Yahtzee of ZeroPunctuation describes ''{{Psychonauts}}'' as "rather like Tim Burton knocked up David Lynch in Charlie's Chocolate Factory and he [Lynch] did meth right up until the birth."

He also parodies the trope later on when he reviews ''TheWitcher'': #QUOTE# ''What would you get if you got the corpse of JRR Tolkien, ground it into a fine powder, and snorted it off the doughy breasts of a prostitute suffering from Tourette's syndrome? Well, first you'd get a throat full of dead writer, then the police will probably want to talk to you and you'll no doubt make an enemy of Mrs. Tolkien.''

The advertising for ''GeometryWars Galaxies'' describes it as ''Asteroids'' on steroids.

It's more accurately described as ''Robotron 2084'' on acid, though.

''Robotron 2084'' on acid is actually ''Llamatron''.

"''Asteroids'' on steroids" is ''Stardust''. ''Super Stardust '96'' is ''Stardust'' on LSD and penguins.

Then there's the phenomenal indie game ''Everyday Shooter'', which is like ''Asteroids'' on LSD.

Not a work of fiction, but rather a character: The malevolent AI [=GLaDOS=] from ''{{Portal}}'' has been described as SHODAN on valium.

Considering that the morality globe gets incinerated and it starts pumping neurotoxin that's pretty accurate.

''EarthBound'' seems to be ''FinalFantasy'' on Shrooom!s.

Judging by the battle screen, it's actually ''DragonQuest'' on Shrooom!s. And mysterious statues.

No wonder why you beat up hippies.

''{{Mother 3}}'', however, is Earthbound off its antidepressants, with copious amounts of acid and the occasional "Energy 'shroom".

While ''Yume Nikki'' is often described as ''Earthbound'' meets ''Silent Hill'', it is actually ''Earthbound'' on ''LSD'' (the game, not the drug).

On the same note, the game ''LSD'' is ''Half-Life'' on LSD.

And then there's ''Neftelia'', which is ''Yume Nikki'' on ''LSD''.

''SuperMarioBros'' '''uses''' shrooms as a power up, and as a defining theme of Mario's world. (But officially, the only thing that Shiggy was "on" was Lewis Carroll.)

Not just any shroom, but the hallucinogenic fly agaric.

Not to mention "Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy?"

This editor is amazed that, in ''{{Super Mario Bros 3}}'', they got away with "magic leaves" that let you "fly".

The use of a "magical green leaf" to enable you to "float through the air" is also one of the early "magic items" found in ''The Legend of Zelda; the Wind Waker''.

That's actually based off of an old Japanese legend. Or something.

Japanese have legends about being high? That explains everything.

''Kaizo Mario World'' is ''Super Mario World'' on Salvador Dali after he's been pumped full of meth.

Yoshi's Story is Mario meets {{Pacman}} on peyote.

''{{Disgaea}}'' can be best described as "''FinalFantasyTactics'' on crack and with lots of leather."

And now, the upcoming visual novel Disgaea Infinite looks like it's going to be Disgaea on ecstasy.

''PhantomBrave'' is ''Disgaea'' on shrooms. until the last chapter.

''{{Tetris}}'' is Jenga on cocaine and speed.

Tetris IS cocaine and speed.

And ''LockjawTheOverdose'' adds hallucinogens to the mix.

''DTET'' has all the trippy backgrounds of ''Lockjaw'' without the InterfaceScrew.

The Steam-based game ''{{Audiosurf}}'' is a GREAT combination of {{F-Zero}}, Tetris, and {{Guitar Hero}} with LSD.

And ''BeatHazard'' is a combination of ''Audiosurf'', ''Asteroids'' and BulletHell on more LSD. And speed.

''EternalSonata'' is ''The {{Chronicles of Thomas Covenant}}'' on prozac.

'''''W'''ork '''T'''ime '''F'''un'' is ''Warioware'' on LSD!

And ''Warioware'' itself is every other game ever made off its Ritalin.

''NoMoreHeroes'' is a bit like someone took a pretty standard action game and injected it with otaku subculture, deconstructive open-world elements, and heroin.

''No More Heroes'' is ''{{Killer7}}'' back on its meds.

Everyone agrees Madworld is on something, but no-one can agree on what. Some say its like No More Heroes on Crack and steroids (that series already being on heroin), while others think it plays more like God of War on Valium, and has a plot like Manhunt with a chemically stunted brain.

Honorary mention to Bungie's Jason Jones for his description of ''{{Halo}} 2'', which featured pretty much everything except drugs.

"''Halo 2'' is a lot like ''Halo 1'', except it's ''Halo 1'' on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too."

Not to mention the "ultimate definiton of Halo: Reach" that spawned on the Bungie forums as soon as enough info on the game had been gathered: ''This is Halo: Combat Evolved '''ON STEROIDS'''''.

Duelling Analogs once described Motorstorm as "Excitetruck on crack".

TwistedMetal is MarioKart mainlining whatever the dealer had for sale that day, then given as much ammo as it can carry.

Ratchet & Clank is BanjoKazooie, on Steroids, with access to several WMD's

Computer Games Magazine described ''Missing: Since January'' as "acid bath scritch and scratch, like the opening of ''Se7en''." I would describe it as Internet learning software mixed with a few hits of acid. It features a travelogue presented like a widescreen home video that randomly changes to a movie style camera, crack bugs and spiders accompanied by crazy music, a disembodied voice threatening the player, dolls that turn into fully articulated skeletons and much more.

''TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is the lovechild of ''[=~Pokemon~=]'' and ''KingdomHearts'', on a great deal of impressive chemicals.

Alternatively, it could also be considered as a cross between ''{{Beyblade}}'' and''DeathNote'', on a cocktail of acid, speed and absinthe.

And a little ''{{Bleach}}'' sprinkled in for good measure.

Also, ''DevilSurvivor'' could be TWEWY and Pokemon off its antidepressants and on a bad acid trip.

And while were on that subject, Pokemon is ShinMegamiTensei ''on'' antidepressents (except for Pokemon Coluseim... and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon...)

''Cash! Guns! Chaos!'' is ''Smash TV'' on acid.

Which is impressive, because ''SmashTV'' has to be on something itself (''TheRunningMan'' meets ''BigBrother'' on LSD, at a guess).

''Perfect World'' is as if the developers took a good look at ''World of Warcraft'', downed a bottle of LSD-laced vodka, and went to work.

This Troper has heard of comparing ''DevilMayCry'' with ''TheMatrix'' on steroids (considering what is under DMC's entry in WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome, not surprising).

''{{Meteos}}'' is ''Puzzle League'' (or ''Tetris Attack'' or ''Panel De Pon'') on LSD and speed.

How does one go into a discussion of the influence of drugs on videogames and not mention ''KatamariDamacy'' and its sequels?

Because ''Katamari Damacy'' is not ''anything'' on drugs. It ''is'' drugs.

And its spiritual successor, ''Noby Noby Boy'', is ''Katamari'' on peyote.

''Persona 3'' is what results when a journalist does a lot of LSD and Shrooms and does a story about when WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic driven by TheHeartless crashes headlong into HeroicSacrifice spray-painted with a fresh coat of ButThouMust during a BadMoonRising, ending in TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

Which must mean that ''{{Persona 4}}'' is what results when a detective starts taking way too many antidepressants and decides one rainy midnight while staring at a blank TV screen to rewrite ''{{Saw}}'' as a high school version with loads of Jungian concepts, Heartless, and an annoyingly catchy ThematicThemeTune that constantly reminds you to ''reach out to the truth''.

Personally, this troper would say that ''{{Persona 4}}'' is ''{{Persona 3}}'' crossed with a version of Death Note where Light never became Kira, on pretty much every hallucinogenic known to man (and some that aren't).

This troper would like to submit that ''{{Persona 4}}'' is TwinPeaks meets {{Videodrome}} as experienced by ''{{Persona 3}}'' on antidepressants.

''Bangai-O'' is ''Jetpac'' on weed (the plot, anyway) and steroids. Considering how the English script was handled, it might as well have been.

''CaptainRainbow'' seems to look like... ''something'' on ''something''.

''SonicTheHedgehog'' being described as "''{{Mario}}'' on crack" was fairly common back in the day.

''Sonic 2006'' is ''SonicTheHedgehog'' on a bad trip.

''ShadowTheHedgehog'' is ''SonicAdventure2'' on a codeine overdose; ''Sonic and the Secret Rings'' is Sonic 2006 meets ''One Thousand and One Nights'' on a codeine overdose.

''IWannaBeTheGuy'' is like... nothing at all. There's simply no drug that's that bad. On the other hand, it can drive you to use them. Seriously.

''LittleBigPlanet'' has been out how long, and nobody's asked what kind of concoction one must be smoking to imagine moody, violent sock-people playing dress-up and sticking stickers to animated cardboard cutouts?

''WarioLand'', while not quite as strange as ''WarioWare'' is pretty much "platform genre on drugs", with most of the treasure, locations (Fiery Cavern and so on) and bosses (Cuckoo Condor?) having to seen to be believed. Random doesn't even begin to describe some of it.

SuperRobotWars is a result of giving a Strategy RPG hero Steroids and a mecha

''VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' is ''Deus Ex'' on Blood.

Each installment of the ''Red Alert'' series is ''{{Command and Conquer}}'' on increasing amounts of crack.

''{{Eversion}}'' is ''Kirby's Dreamland'' on a mixture of acid and the red pill.

More like Cocoron on H.P. Lovecraft.

''SuperSmashBrothers'' is a cross between ''StreetFighter'' and ''MarioParty'' on Steroids and some kind of speed thrown in there too

And for that matter, on this topic, ''Luigi's Final Smash'' is basically what happens when you take ''Labyrinth'', put EVEN MORE LSD then before, mix in some PCP and taken off antidepressants for good measure

''TeamFortress2'' is the original taking speed with the LooneyTunes.

And don't forget those hundreds of cigarettes.

''{{Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg}}'' is what happens when Sega stuffs every possible and plausable drug they can into a game, and then mixes Sonic with a couple of other Sega franchies in.

The ''TouhouProject'' is what you get when you take several shelfloads of mythology, copious amounts of beer, a big sack of sugar, and a master composer, mix them up well, and serve with a generous sprinkling of "confetti."

SpaceInvaders on crack, LSD, and a whole bunch of other things.

''{{Kirby}}'' is a platformer on lots of... CANDY!

And all the later ''Kirby''s are that same platformer after gorging on a mound of candy just before going to bed and reading some Lovecraft. Then having bizarre nightmares, that are nice and sugary right til the latest really out of place EldritchAbomination rears it's head.

''DanceDanceRevolution'' is Simon Says on ecstasy.

''PopNMusic'' is ''{{beatmania}}'' on a sugar rush.

''HarvestMoon'' is farming on Shoujo anime. And a little pot to chill out and relax a bit.

''{{Game/Contact}}'' is an RPG having an existential crisis.

''SaintsRow'' is ''GrandTheftAuto'' on prozac and speed.

Or Purple Drink. Probably Purple Drink.

''{{City of Heroes}}'' is every superhero comic ever made all having a rave.

''{{House of the Dead}} Overkill'' is basically TheJimmyHartVersion of ''PlanetTerror'', but with more testosterone (debatable) and less estrogen.

''MadWorld'' is basically what happened after ''No More Heroes'' went to work out so only the humor and the actual stages are left, then mixed with steroids and testosterone, ground up and injected directly into the folds of the scrotum, then having an orgy with ''SinCity'', ''Manhunt'', and ''BattleRoyale'' while having a huge dose of Speed, ecstasy, and LSD

''{{Trigun}}'' + ''TheGodfather'' + ''ResidentEvil'' + LOTS of crystal meth = ''{{Gungrave}}''

Or it's ''DevilMayCry'', ''TheGodfather'', ''TriGun'' and ''TheCrow'' thrown into a blender mixed with lots and lots of crack.

The Playstation classic ''Galerians'' is ''ResidentEvil'' on LOTS of crystal meth and psychic medications (yes, said psychic medication is the weapon on that game).

No mention of the PSP game ''METAL GEAR ACID''!?! This installment is damned trippy, with psycho clowns and all, compared with the main series.

''{{Fallout}}'' is ''TheJetsons'' meets ''MadMax'', on barbiturates.

3 is the original(s) on 'roids in DC

Fallout 3 is like the first two, except, to use an in-universe reference, stopped taking its Mentats.

''XBlades'' is ''GodOfWar'' mainlining a cocktail of estrogen and human feces.

''GunstarHeroes'' is described as ''{{Contra}}'' on acid and steroids.

Likewise, ''{{Alien Soldier}}'' is ''Gunstar Heroes'' off its Ritalin.

''Lockjaw: The Overdose'' is ''{{Tetris}}'' on an overdose of hallucinogenic drugs.

''{{Skies of Arcadia}}'' is what happens when pretty much any ''FFVII''-era RPG actually remembers to take its antidepressants. And maybe overdoses.

How has nobody mentioned ''EliteBeatAgents'' and ''OsuTatakaeOuendan''? Seriously. I don't even want to imagine how many drugs they're on... All while being off their Ritalin and overdosing on Prozac.

Probably the same stuff they used with ''GitarooMan''. By 2007, they finally ran out. You could tell they were having a shortage by looking at the TearJerker levels.

''SpaceGiraffe'' is the offspring of ''Rez'' on more LSD than any human could handle in a lifetime and ''Tempest'' stoned out of its mind. The child then took up his parent's habits as well as throwing in some crack for good measure.

Blizzard themselves have said that ''The Abomination'' originally started from the idea of a "Flesh Golem", but they prefer to think of Abominations as "Frankenstein on Crack".

''StarFox'' is ''StarWars'' on crack and pot.

To make it even more odd, Miyamoto got the idea from the temple that held the kitsune statue... not the statue, but the architecture.

All things consider, Miyamato himself is on shroom. When a man consider balancing yourself is a GAME...

''SpyroTheDragon'' is ''Super Mario 64'' and ''BanjoKazooie'' on speed, acid, and allowed to play with FIRE!!!

The ''Legend'' series is without anti-depressants and is on shrooms... lots of shrooms.

''SengokuBasara'' is Japanese history with a mixture of hallucinogens, anabolic steroids and a ''Dragon Ball Z'' marathon.

Sphere's of Chaos is {{Asteroids}} on everything!

Any game advertised on {{Adult Swim}}.com is just on something.

SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters is the steroid baby of FinalFantasyTactics and NintendoWars.

The ''MetalGear'' series is the American action movie off its antidepressants and on steadily increasing doses of psychedelics and pot.

''Sons of Liberty,'' specifically, is ''MetalGearSolid'' on LSD and amphetamines.

''MetalGearSolid3'' is the previous game after rehab, taking a very low dose of antidepressants and watching old spy movies while drunk.

''Advance Wars: Days of Ruin'' is ''Advance Wars'' off it's LCD, Acid, and antidepressants. To cope, it's taken to lots and lots of alcohol. In a very good way.

''LeagueOfLegends'' is ''DefenseOfTheAncients'' mellowed out on alcohol and pot.

''DwarfFortress'' is ''TheSims'' gone blind, on fire, arguing with itself like an angry drunk, strung out on drugstore speed, fresh from the Stanford Prison Experiment, and wildly gesticulating with a revolver which may or may not be partially loaded.

SengokuRance is pretty much SengokuBasara with a HeroicSociopath who thinks RapeIsLove.

''FinalFantasyX2'' is pretty much ''SailorMoon'' and ''CharliesAngels'' on ecstasy, speed, acid, and God knows what else...oh, and '''''glitter'''''.

''{{Pokemon}}'' is ''ShinMegamiTensei'' reminiscing about its childhood after a long course of antidepressants and a lot of repression.

''KingdomHearts'' is {{Disney}} and ''FinalFantasy'' on everything those two weren't already on.

Alternatively, KingdomHearts is a preteen Disney lying awake at night, tired and a little slap-happy, but unable to sleep due to a terrible fear of the dark.

KingdomHearts2 is the first game after hitting puberty and reading a little philosophy.

358/2 Days is KingdomHearts after its best friend died, refusing to take meds.

BirthBySleep is 358/2 Days after losing its ''entire family'' and taking up drinking. Oh, and in antidepressant withdrawal..

While we don't know ''what'' the ''Megaman'' sequels are on, BobAndGeorge described Quick Man as "Cut Man and Elec Man's love child...on crack."

''LSDDreamEmulator'' is the lovechild of ''{{the Path}}'', anything ''{{Alice in Wonderland}}'' related, ''{{NiGHTS}}'', and ''{{Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory}}'' on drugs. Really strong drugs. The kind of Drugs that make you want to watch ''Alice in Wonderland'' While high.

TheDishwasher is what you get when you mash the old TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles games with GearsOfWar while replacing your antidepressants with lots of sake.

MassEffect2 is MassEffect 1 replacing it's antidepressants with ryncol and anger. Lots and lots of anger.

DragonAge is a mutant mash-up of NeverwinterNights and WarhammerFantasy hopped up on awesome.

''{{Hellsinker}}'' is like an even smoothie of {{Touhou}}, RadiantSilvergun, and ayahuasca.

''YggdraUnion'''s gameplay is ''FireEmblem'' on mushrooms. The story is ''TheInheritanceCycle'' taking its lithium.

''TheDemonRush'' is ''ChronoTrigger'' after six shots of the cheapest, nastiest vodka in the house.

''RiceBoy'' "reads like Tolkien on hash resin", according to the NotableFantasyWebcomics page.

Parodied beautifully in this strip of ''{{Rob and Elliot}}''.

''{{College Roomies from Hell}}'' is WackyCollege webcomics off their meds (not quite as literally).

''Ciem'' has actually been described by one reviewer as "a soap opera on LSD."

''ExterminatusNow'' is what happens after you mix Sonic and PCP, and throw them through the Lethal Weapon character route.

And then have them roll up ''DarkHeresy'' characters.

''ElGoonishShive'' is a multitude of other {{Transformation Comic}}s on catnip.

At one point, roughly a quarter the comic descriptions on the Keenspot Home Page were "X on crack". If this editor remembers correctly, for one of them, the X was one of the other comics that used that form.

''[=~8-Bit Theater~=]'' is ''FinalFantasyI'' on crack combined with a healthy dose of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' on heroin, and with some meth added to the mix for extra flavor.

''{{Sonichu}}'' is ''[=~Pokémon~=]'' meets ''{{Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' (as the name implies), but with VIRGIN RAGE.

Or the all the tobacky that 'hasn't' been sent to the moon mixed with Long Island Iced Tea.

This Troper is trying to figure out what all the different Asperpedia Comix qualify as under this trope. Of course, ''CaperingBerries'' is ''Simonchu'' (''Sonichu'' meets ''GurrenLagann'') meets something on shrooms and ''MoonPals'' is ''Sonichu'' on absolutely everything, but what would the others qualify as?

''Sonichu 10'' was the original on ''Driller Killer''.

{{Erfworld}} is DungeonsAndDragons after downing a speedball.

''{{Order of the Stick}}'' is ''{{Dungeons & Dragons}}'' after snorting the remains of the fourth wall

''ProblemSleuth'' is what happens when you inject an "Escape the Room" text adventure game with FilmNoir, LSD, and Candy Corn Liquor.

And ''{{Homestuck}}'' is ''ProblemSleuth'' with ''{{Earthbound}}'' instead of FilmNoir and off its antidepressants.

TroperWorks/{{Bloody Urban}} is either TheBigBangTheory meets BuffyTheVampireSlayer on crack, or Literature/{{Twilight}} after a dose of prozac and a good slap in the face.

AnimeNewsNina is {{Genshiken}} with American anime fans.

GirlGenius is Mary Shelly's Frankenstein on Calming Pies. Because they don't always work, it has a significant undertone of ScienceIsBad, but just about everyone in it is a ScienceHero.

''AxeCop'' is ''The Adventures of Dr. McNinja'' on a combination of LSD, ham, and ThePowerOfFriendship.

KingsOfPowerFourBillionPercent is every video game and anime ever made tossed into a blender with one of Cthulu's tentacles and chugged out of a gameboy while on crack and LSD. Actually this describes anything made by PaulRobertson.

''SailorNothing'' is ''SailorMoon'' off the antidepressants.

The web original story ''{{Look to the West}}'' started out as a simple AlternateHistory of the 18th century but in the second half turns into TheFrenchRevolution with everything turned UpToEleven. Gas chambers instead of guillotines. Steam-powered self-propelled guns. General Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Ainu-Lithuanian Meiji Japan. Captain "Leo Bone", RN. French rocket-artillery leveling London. Henry IX, King of England ''and Pope''. It nevertheless somehow manages to look plausible, and is entertaining as hell.

''{{Museum of Idiots}}'' is a SitCom on a combination of Salvador Dali and DavidLynch. It also contains a character named Mr. Blacktar, who may or may not be himself on blacktar heroin.

The WhateleyUniverse is ArchieComics meets {{X-Men}}. On nitrous oxide.

Literature/{{Sapphire}} is JamesBond on speed, ecstacy, and witch's brew.

Or {{Negima}} drunk on shaken-not-stirred vodka martinis.

The SCPFoundation is {{Torchwood}} and {{Warehouse13}} forgetting their antidipressents and watching an all-night NeonGenesisEvangelion marathon.

"Joke" SCPs however, are the SCPFoundation on drugs.

this, on the other hand, is ''LITERALLY'' the SCPFoundation on drugs.

No, that's a drug on the SCP foundation.

''HomestarRunner'' is ''HRPufnstuf'' after eating about 147 Fluffy Puff Marshamallows and then drinking a tall glass of melonade.

ThereWillBeBrawl is the Mushroom Kingdom on much, MUCH more depressing mushrooms.

We can't possibly make all of those LooneyTunes references, without first including Looney Tunes. The classic animated series was so bizarre and violent for it's time, it was like if WaltDisney met up with Groucho Marx and dropped all of that famous Disney Acid in one night, got drunk, and decided to go ''Wabbit Hunting''. Then, while they were still in their nigh-high stupor, made a cartoon series featuring all of their exploits.

''[=~Rocko's Modern Life~=]''. This Troper can barely begin to describe all the stuff this series is mainlining for breakfast.

Funny, I'd say it's more like if ''Ren and Stimpy'' occasionally remembered to take its antipsychotics.

''{{The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack}}'' is ''{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' on acid. Just think about the gravity of that statement; ''[=SpongeBob=]'' is already on a half-dozen substances of variable legality, and this show is to it what ''FLCL'' is to ''Excel Saga'' in terms of pure insanity. (And with much, MUCH more NightmareFuel. Apparently the plague moves parts of your face onto your now super-elongated, ultra pimply tongue.)

BigNo! It's ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything meets RenAndStimpy meets CourageTheCowardlyDog meets LSD, cocaine, acid, and some other illegal substances.

''{{Chowder}}'' is your average FoodNetwork cooking show on pretty much every illegal substance that was in vogue in 1975.

Drugs, slapstick, and spice to be exact.

I like to say it was made of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and LCD.

"This show is pretty wierd."

''{{Metalocalypse}}'' is... well frankly I don't know what it ''is'' but I know what it's ''on''. It really speaks volumes when the characters themselves are so pumped full of various substances that they basically cancel each other out. And I'm pretty sure the creators are in the same situation. Or, in the immortal words of Dr. Rockzo, the Rock-and-Roll clown... #QUOTE# "I DO COCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINE!!!"

Rockzo himself is "The bastard lovechild of Gene Simmons and David Lee Roth concieved on a three-month coke binge born onto a pile of cocaine with a straw umbillical cord and cocaine placenta, raised on a steady diet of cocaine. He does cocaine. A lot of cocaine."

It's MTV on COCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINE with extra metal.

Yeah, and unlike MTV, actual ''music'' is a substance in Metalocalypse. Zing!

''{{The Ren and Stimpy Show}}'' is ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'', ''George of the Jungle'', ''Roger Ramjet'', and similar 60s cartoons, on PCP. (Especially Ren, who in full-on crazy mode is practically the incarnation of PCP -- or at least the American TV version of PCP).

''AquaTeenHungerForce'' was once described by one of the show's creators as "kind of like ''Three's Company'' on acid."

The spinoff golf game can be summed up as some game with "Tiger Woods" in the title, except that the words "Tiger Woods" were removed to make room for all the LSD.

''SouthPark'' used to be called "''{{Peanuts}}'' on acid", to the amusement of its creators: #QUOTE# '''Parker''': I'm a big ''Peanuts'' fan...\\ '''Stone''': And I'm a big acid fan...

Which is why one ''Simpsons'' Blackboard gag had Bart writing "I am ''not'' Charlie Brown on acid."

''CodeLyoko'' is ''Persona 3'' on Prozac... or is ''Persona 3'' actually ''CodeLyoko'' with a Rum and Coke? (Came out close enough to each other chronologically, but there is no way in Hades that either one influenced the other.)

''RobotChicken'' is everything on everything.

''Yellow Submarine'' is the old Beatles cartoons on acid.

Hey, just like in real life.

''TheVentureBrothers'' is a pill-popping adult junkie version of ''JonnyQuest'' going through withdrawal.

Which oddly enough, features a pill-popping adult junkie version of Jonny Quest going through withdrawal in it.

''Stickin' Around'' is basically a ''8-years-old's drawing literally'' on acid.

''KappaMikey'' is ''{{Megatokyo}}'' on every drug it hasn't already taken.

It's Megatokyo if Piro left instead of Largo.

''{{The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy}}'' is ''Scary Movie'' meets ''{{The Fairly OddParents}}'' on more crack.

''{{The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat}}'' is basically the old 30s ''Felix'' cartoons (with some from the 50s for good measure) on pure LSD.

''{{Superjail}}'' is ''The Itchy and Scratchy Show'' on LSD, ketamine, ecstasy, PCP, methamphetamine, crack, DXM, mushrooms, and every other hallucinogen out there.

And ''Itchy and Scratchy'' itself is ''{{Tom and Jerry}}'' on PsychoSerum.

AdultSwim advertised the show as "''{{Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'' only with a jail and ''more'' drugs."

Sounds accurate to me.

It's Willie Wonka running a prison. He doesn't need the drugs, but whoever put him in charge apparently did.

This troper once saw a youtube comment describing ''{{Superjail}}'' as '''HappyTreeFriends'' on steroids.'

''MoralOrel'' is ''Davey and Goliath'' taken off its antidepressants after years and years of alcohol abuse. With a nice dose of LSD thrown in for good measure.

''The {{SpongeBob SquarePants}} Movie'' was once described as "''FindingNemo'', by the creators of ''{{Ren and Stimpy}}'', on acid." I'd personally throw in "With occasional help from Tenacious D", considering Patrick and Spongebob and the ending.

''FamilyGuy'' is ''TheSimpsons'' on crack.

''AmericanDad'' is ''FamilyGuy'' on crack as well as being ''TheSimpsons'' on steroids.

No, no -- that's ''TheOblongs''!

I must disagree kind sir, but ''FamilyGuy'' is more like ''TheSimpsons'' on whippets and cough medicine.

''{{Futurama}}'' may be considered ''TheSimpsons'' on electricity, with the occasional batch of dysphorics.

IN SPACE

''DoctorSnuggles'' is ''DrDoolittle'' on... well, some kind of drugs. Very STRONG drugs by the looks of it. Well, it is dutch...

''XavierRenegadeAngel'' is a stoner's hallucination. ''Period.''

''{{Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog}}''? ''Road Runner'' on LSD.

MTV's ''Downtown''. ''{{Friends}}'' gets depressed, takes shrooms and peyote then tries the Uberman sleep schedule.

Either ''{{Back at the Barnyard}}'' is ''AnimalFarm'' on crack, or ''Animal Farm'' is ''Back at the Barnyard'' on heroin.

No, ''Back at the Barnyard'' is ''Animal Farm'' on estrogen pills. I mean, a Male Cow, with udders! This is even WORSE than NonMammalMammaries.

How has no one mentioned ''{{Animaniacs}}'' yet? The Animaniacs ''are'' drug-induced hallucinations. That's what Bugs Bunny gets for smoking those carrots instead of eating them!

''TitanicTheLegendGoesOn'' is DonBluth, WaltDisney, and LooneyTunes on cocaine followed by a mixture of Pepsi.

After listening to someone's lousy mix tape, which had a ''rap song'' come out of nowhere.

''MegasXLR'' is {{Transformers}} on pot while watching MTV in the 80's.

Alternatively, it's the cast of ''{{Jackass}}'' that took a GiantRobot through ''Pimp My Ride''. And then got high.

No way, its every single damn mecha anime on acid, junk food, whatever shit Gainax would later use to make GurrenLagann while watching MTV in the 80's and playing too much video games.

"'''''This is''''' ''The Land Before Time'' on crystal meth! This is not normal! This is not normal! I'm in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo, and someone's been giving booze to these bastards!"

''EdEddNEddy'' is a much better example of {{Peanuts}} on crack than any other example on this page. Where are all the adults or extras? You don't even get the stupid trombone voice. They just don't exist.

SpongeBobSquarePants is TheLittleMermaid on uhh... god knows what while channeling {{Rugrats}} in texas.

WesternAnimation/AdventureTime... it's TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack on LSD and Prozac.

''TotalDramaIsland'' may seem less trippy than any of the above... untill you compare it to ''{{Survivor}}''. That said, TDI is ''Survivor'' on some serious crack '''and''' steriods.

''PhineasAndFerb'' is EdEddNEddy meets TheBackyardigans with KimPossible as a subplot on anti-depressants, sugar, and plutonium.

InvaderZim is Marvin the Martian trying unsuccessfuly to lessen the effect of a post-ecstasy crash by doing peyote.

BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold is TheDCAU on some serious uppers.

Jan Svankmajer makes animation films that are best described as Dali meets Picasso all while completely stoned out of his balls on LSD, Ketamine and every other hallucinogen known.

TheThiefAndTheCobbler can be seen as Alladin on acid. Alternatively, Alladin could just be TheThiefAndTheCobbler off the acid. The former was started on production much earlier, but Alladin was released to the public first, so it depends on how you're going to see it.

''T.U.F.F. Puppy'' is when ''Spy Fox'' takes loads of anti-depressants, drinks too much caffeine, and decides to go on TV.

''EdEddAndEddy'': ''{{Doug}}'' on crack. (Funny enough, this troper's little brother used to think the show WAS ''Doug'' when he was two)

{{Archer}} is animated JamesBond wearing a black turtleneck on crack and marijuana while chugging vodka with one hand and picking off Russian Spys with the Glock in his other hand.

''The House on the Rock'' is very often described by visitors as "Frank Lloyd Wright on crack" -- an example of the trope in architecture.

Barry Bonds is Barry Bonds on performance-enhancing drugs. Also a lot of other pro athletes. Sadly.

{{World War II}} was World War I on steroids. (Also on or above just about every square inch of the globe, which is why they called it a world war.) The current war in Iraq is the war in Afghanistan, on sand. Which was the war in Vietnam, on mountains. Which was a guerrilla war, in a jungle. Where was I going with this again?

Absinthe is Jägermeister and Sambuca on hallucinogens.

As a member of the Wormwood Society, allow me to tell you with some authority that you were lied to.

There's a theory that Aztec religion was your typical polytheism, on psilocybine, mescaline and whatever else your typical pre-Columbian Mesoamerican priest could possibly sniff.

Hybrid drugs like speed are literally one type of drug on another type of drug.

Pickles are cucumbers on vinegar.

The real world is fiction on heavy sedatives, under observation in a padded cell.

Real life is fiction with all the good bits taken out.

original recipe (from the 1800s) coke is like coke on coke

he WhamEpisode is the PlotTwist on steroids.

The BigLippedAlligatorMoment is ''everyone in the cast of the show in question'' on LSD. Likewise, the BLAMEpisode.

The DisneyAcidSequence is Disney on acid.

This page is XMeetsY on substance Z.

MoeAnthropomorphism is AnthropomorphicPersonification on estrogen and sugar.

TrueArt is TrueArtIsIncomprehensible without the incomprensible and on all its MindScrew Cosmihgafacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacaca.

This Troper says that if you were to say something about his work, KIKEN, surely you'd go for something along the lines of .hack meets X/1999 meets [=BaSTOF Lemon=] on even more AxCrazy-poppy seed tea-serving Yanderes, seasoned with heavy and frequent swearing, and garnished with yaoi and yuri.

This Troper co-choreographed/co-wrote/starred as a "kung fu Celtic dancing ninja girl" (director's description, not This Troper's) in a 20-minute dance show that was basically Michael Flatley's Feet of Flames on lots and lots of Ecstasy and various hallucinogens.

This Troper was, once upon a time, being told a fairy tale by his granny. Granny, after one interruption so far, told little This Troper to listen or continue by himself. How the tale evolved from that point can be compared to the effect of amanita muscaria and some other mushrooms with a hefty dose of amphetamines.

This Troper once heard his brother describe Boston Market as "El Pollo Loco on crack!"

At the college radio station where This Troper once worked, they had Post-It notes on all the CD's where people could leave comments about the music. One person wrote on Portishead's debut CD that it sounded like "Sade on acid". This Troper left a comment making fun of that comment, and it instigated sort a low-tech flame war involving said Post-It notes.

This troper has heard other students at her school describe the Digital Graphics and Animation class as "Study hall on steroids".

The best way to describe the first two stories in This troper's story series is "MegaManNTWarrior on crack". The later stories in the series, though, are more like Series/DoctorWho with a sugar buzz.

This troper and her boyfriend, at that time, agreed that the Galactica}} Original Battlestar Galactica was that a Mormon child watching ''Star Wars'' while eating cheese, and the Galactica}} New Battlestar Galactica is a blue collar, alcoholic, angry ''Star Trek'' that has just found out it has cancer.

One of this troper's projects can be fairly accurately described as "Literature/{{Twilight}}, {{Lucky Star}}, and {{Strike Witches}} are in the army and turn to reading lots of Japanese mythology and drinking lots of booze to cope with the stress. Then they get kicked out and get jobs as newspaper reporters."

On the set of ''Deja Vu'' (the post-Katrina-New-Orleans-Denzel-Washington vehicle) Tony Scott instructed the extras to act "like a restaurant...on acid!" The resulting scene looked like any other high-volume French Quarter restaurant.

This troper is working on a project starting from the base premise of DragonAge crossed with {{Dragaera}} plus quite a bit of adrenaline and a lot of ego.
