Because dinosaurs that can talk just wasn't extreme enough.

Extreme Dinosaurs is a show, from the creators of the rather similar Street Sharks, about four dinosaurs taken from prehistoric times and turned into Animal Superheroes so they could be used as an alien overlord's minions to conquer a planet from Another Dimension. (Really.) You can pretty much tell everything you need to know about it from the title.

Extreme Dinosaurs provides examples of:

  Bad Rap: "Do as I say, or I'll pickle your head in the hottest chili sauce I can find."

  T-Bone: Bullzeye, we're dinosaurs. You don't need hair products if you don't have hair.
