'''''Secret Mountain Fort Awesome''''' is a 2011 animated show that recently{{when}} premiered on [[Cartoon Network]], created by Peter Browngardt (a storyboard artist whose credits include ''[[Chowder]]'' and ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'').

The show is about five monsters known as Disgustoids who live in an underground mountain (the title fort of the series) and generally cause mischief either among themselves or with the people on the surface world while trying to fit in with them. Said monsters are:
* Festro: The de facto leader of the bunch, a purple monster with giant fangs who only wears underwear.
* Fart: The only sensible monster of the bunch. He also happens to be made entirely out of butts.
* Dingle: The blue monster who acts mostly like a dog and speaks in gibberish.
* Slog: The hairy monster with a big nose.
* and Gweelok: A monster who looks like a giant puss ball.

The show is considered a spin-off of the ''[[Cartoonstitute]]'' short "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LvIG7MDSys Uncle Grandpa]", which featured prototype versions of the five main Disgustoids. Uncle Grandpa recently made a comeback in the episode "Secret Mountain Uncle Grandpa", where he is seen as a Santa Claus-style legend by the Disgustoids.

* [[419 Scam]]: In the episode "The 6th Disgustoid" Gweelok fell for this trick reading an e-mail from a scammer claiming to be the prince of some foreign country.  {{spoiler|The scammer's identity is revealed to be Bromanor.}}
* [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere]]: The third episode has the group making a bet with Gweelok that he can't use the internet for 24 Hours. Not surprisingly they try to tempt him to use it.
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Though considering [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adventure Time|recent]] [[Regular Show|efforts,]] this shouldn't come as a surprise.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]:  {{spoiler|Bromanor.}}
* [[Five-Man Band]]
** Festro: [[The Hero]] (if you can call him that)
** Fart: [[The Lancer]]

* [[Ears as Hair|Hair as Ears]]: Dingle has hair that looks like dog ears.
* [[Gross-Out Show]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]]

** Also there's a huge scene in "President the Fart" that is based off the Rainbow Road in Mario Kart. Dingle even plays a similar role of Lakitu when Festro falls off.
** "Broken Chair" has a part where Dingle has his own band. They play a song that sounds similar to Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. Dingle then holds a bat and appears to be fixing to bite its head off then he kisses it instead.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Dingle, [[Intelligible Unintelligible|yet the other monsters can understand him]].
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Festro apparently has a crippling fear of [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mom+jeans mom jeans], which the other Disgustoids help him conquer.
