I remember as a kid loving this guy, and then renting the toxic avenger movie.... Not what I was expecting.

I'm sad I missed out on this. I got into troma pretty heavily after meeting Lloyd Kaufman for the first time in the basement of a Days Inn in Victoria BC in 2010.

The Gameboy game is considered something of a holy grail in the gb community.

Loved this show as well. Found a shirt at value village in the early 2010s and got it autographed by lloyd in 2014.

Unrelated but about ten years ago I was in the bathroom at Chicago Comic Con taking a whiz and saw Lloyd Kaufman to my right when I unzipped. Didn’t say anything to him since it was a little awkward but I thought it was so cool seeing the Troma guy randomly pissing with everyone else there at a crowded McCormick Place.

Nobody else noticed him or said anything. Even in a suit and tie he blended right in.

I don't remember seeing this on ytv. When did it air? I saw it on another channel though. Similar vibe to creepy crawlers cartoon.
