Saturday Morning All Star Hits! is a Netflix comedy cartoon television series that first aired on December 10, 2021 starring Kyle Mooney.

Plot

The show is a parody of Saturday-morning cartoons from the 1980s and early 1990s, framed by an eponymous show called SMASH! for short. It is hosted by twin brothers Skip and Treybor (parodies of Chip and Pepper), both played by Kyle Mooney.[1] They introduce various cartoon shows and have brief conversations between shows. The cartoons include Randy, a show about a dinosaur that befriends a group of teenagers, and a spoof of Denver, the Last Dinosaur; The Create-A-Crittles, a show about four magical creatures similar to Care Bears and Popples; Pro Bros, a show parodying ProStars and other series where pro athletes play themselves, and Strongimals, a show loosely parodying Thundercats and other action cartoons of the era that is later retitled as Skip and the Strongimals due to Skip's unfortunate attention-hogging.
