Does it explain why the set exists? Or sucks? The answer’s obvious: $$$ and stupid modern-day Topps.

It doesn't explain why there are no true returning characters but characters that are parodies of previos characters such as Burned Brett/Mutilated Micheals who is a parody of Leaky Lou and Drippy Dan Stung Sting/Stinng Sumner which is very similar to Bea Sting and Screaming Mimi TV Tom/Insane Valerie Teevee Stevie and Geeky Gary Ted Mouse/Dead D.Jay Matt Ratt/Rachel Rodent Krazy Katy/Scary Perry Adam Bomb/Blasted Billy Ed Sheerin/Red Sheeran Scalped Ralph/Bone Head Fred Torturing Taylor Crankie Frankie/Bad Brad Bruno Martian/Mars Attacks Alien Ian/Outerspace Chase Deafening Darryl/Serious Simmons Deaf Geoff/Audio Augie Misfitt Manny/Ghost Glenn Grim Jim/Beth Death
Primeslime Trashy TV did the same with Bony Tony, Hot Scott, Adam Bomb, Chillie Millie and Shorned Sean

This set was a lot like Prime Slime: filled with cards that not a lot of people will be able to “get”. I don’t really listen to music, but I at least knew a handful of the musicians they’re spoofing, but no idea about the rest. If most of the people who would buy these cards don’t know who mosf of these are based off, there’s clearly a problem. They seriously need to stop with these kinds of themes for sets. Even though Adam-geddon had a lot of bad art, at least with that set you can understand the concepts behind most of the cards, but that isn’t the case here
Art’s decent for the most part. There’s also less Im than usual (thank goodness for that).

Topps just needs to reboot GPK entirely. Just start fresh with a series 1 set. Call it Garbage pail kids, that's it. Pretend nothing else came before it, including OS (to an extent only). Just like D.C comics did with new 52. Well, I guess rebirth would be the better D.C relaunch theme to use than new 52. And stay on that path with a series 2,3 ect.😉

In fact, it would be really cool if topps just gave us an official os 16 release. Then, an official os styled series 17 and so forth from there. Starting the series 17 with the continued numbering up to that point and beyond for a series 18,19,20ect. Again, look at what D.C comics and marvel have both done latley going Bach to original issues numbering for all their respective books.😁😁😁

Ones with good art, actual card backs, "peel here" on the front, die-cut cards, good numbering, all the stuff that GPK cards should have. But instead we get a poor excuse for a product.

I refuse to buy any retail GPK until the card backs change. Numbering on the back with no art, pfft. Plus all the sets look the same now. OS had awards, puzzles, checklists, gags, etc, switching it up constantly too with each series. Tired of Topps cutting corners to save $. 👎

I decided to boycott the GPK cards after I did not get the full set from one hobby box of Adamgeddon. If Im spending $50-60, I should at least get a full base set. Does this new set at least get a complete base set from one hobby? If it doesn't, Im continuing my boycott. That will now be probably $80 less that topps is not getting in revenue. yes a drop in the bucket, but as I keep saying, if the collectors keep enabling them, they just keep saying "people are buying"

What they really need to do is get rid of the entire GPK management team and get some people in there that know what makes a GPK a GPK. The people doing it now just don't have any clue what a good product is. I thought Topps was bad during the ANS. I'd take that 100 times over what they are doing now.
I wouldn't mind the parallels and all of the other BS if the art and concepts were compelling. I'm shocked that people spend money on this product in its current state.

After watching the "Artist of the Week" segment on a recent Circus of Chaos episode featuring Wacky Packs artist Strephon Taylor, I realized Topps stole their Battle of the Bands idea from a 2001 album covers parody set called Silly CDs. So it's official: Topps has no original ideas and is using the GPK namebrand to push rehashed concepts on nostalgic collectors.

I can't believe they didn't include a Country subset.

I didn't know who half the bands were in this set. Wasn't as bad as Prime Slime though.
