Garbage Pail Kids

The Garbage Pail Kids was the title of a series of trading cards[?] debuting in the 1980s. The cards parodied the birth certificates included with the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. Each card contained a picture of a Garbage Pail Kid (such as the baby covered in tattoos named, "Art Gallery" or the vomiting "Heavin' Steven") and different 'facts' about the child.

The commercial success of the trading cards led to the production of a movie of the same name in 1987. Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie was a financial failure and one of the most universally and vehemently panned films in Hollywood history.
