Lil' Bush began life as a series of five-minute videos distributed on Amp'd Mobile cell phones before moving to Comedy Central in a longer and more elaborate format. It is essentially a Spinoff Babies work for Real Life.It features George W. Bush, his cronies, and various other political figures as Super-Deformed grade-school versions of themselves. This show takes place in an Alternate Universe where most current American politicians are children, the elder George Bush is President, and currently current issues are introduced in accordance with the Rule of Funny.Almost every corner of the show is crammed with references to current (and not-so-current) political events, as well as pop-culture shout-outs and exactly one musical number. Even though many jokes walk the line between Refuge in Audacity and Dude, Not Funny!; when it's good it's really good. Lil' Bush did not fare well with critics, but it did manage to turn many of its characters, especially the four main kids, into interesting and entertaining characters in their own right. Unfortunately it managed to get put on the air just as Bush's administration was wrapping up, and Barack Obama becoming president, making the show no longer relevant, and its expiration date set. The show holds up much better now that there is some time put between it and the many other Bush satires of the time, this paired with the unique art style and appealing character designs has gained it a small cult following.

Vomit Chain Reaction: In "Crony Break-up", Lil' Bush gets sick on a fair ride and barfs on one of his cronies. Causing the crew to puke on one another, until there is puke everywhere.

Lampshade Hanging: In one episode they have a viewer mail segment, where they read letters asking why Condi and Rummy's parents are merely larger versions of themselves, and why the show is set in the present yet Bush Sr. is president.

Author Appeal: Punk and alternative rock. The Lil' Bush Band's music videos often pay tribute to bands like the Sex Pistols, Wham, and Guns and Roses. Guest voices have included members of Good Charlotte, the Grateful Dead and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, among others. Not to mention Iggy Pop as a main cast member.

Corrupt Corporate Executive: The owner of the "Drugzall" pharmaceutical company. He uses his power to trick children into taking prescription medication they really don't need.
