Cartoon Drive-Thru, formerly known as Cartoon Death Zone, is a comedy animation YouTube channel from Matt Wilson, the creator of Bonus Stage.Its main series is Deadly Space Action!, a show about a dysfunctional crew with its captain, Lemarion the Space Barbarian trying to conquer the galaxy. Joining him is Orton, a web designer and resident Only Sane Man; Saige, Orton's wife, who has various odd hobbies; Bestus, a green "jerk with a heart of fist" and brute; and Madison, an ex-Apathetic Teacher and the most optimistic of the bunch, acting as the ship's (terrible) mechanic.Most other videos are from pilots that didn't grow any further. If a trope isn't from a specified work, assume it's from Deadly Space Action!Cartoon Drive-Thru can be found here. The original channel, which is as of writing the only place to watch older videos, can be found here. |

comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: According to Matt, "Planet of the Vapes" (the first of three mini-episodes with a plot revolving around Bestus's former co-worker at a gaming shop) was originally just a generic plot, but timing caused him to tie it in with Gamergate. |

Mythology Gag |
| Cartoon Drive Thru (Web Animation) / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: Despite hating Bonus Stage and stating he'd never refer back to it again, it has nonetheless cropped up on the channel. When Orton is going through the e-mail applications Lemarion has received, there's an application from a "Stomach King". Saige is seen playing Elly in Balloonland. Rya (with a Skrillex-esque redesign) was the host of Ask the Cartoon Deathzone Stars. Phil co-hosted the E3 Gameshows (along with a redesign/Expy of Elly), one of the Puzzles of the Week, and was on the list of superheroes Vinyl went through in Puzzle Hunters (labelled as Superphil, and MIA). Craig showed up on Puzzle of the Week #4 to suggest a Fox-Chicken-Grain Puzzle. Madison is also implied to be a descendant of Craig, and has his given name as her surname. Not on the channel itself, but the SAVESTATES album "Play It!" has a song called Night Run, which is a remix of Evil's stage theme from Robo Rya. Additionally, the ending theme to Gameshow @ E3 2014, called "Game Over, Gameshow", is a remix of "Input Your Initials", one of the ending themes to Bonus Stage. |

comment |
Characterization Marches On: Orton is an apathetic Straight Man for the first few episodes, but by Season Two he's just as odd as Saige. Likewise, Madison spends her first few appearances as a serious-minded Apathetic Teacher, but becomes an incompetent cutie the moment she joins the crew. |
