Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures (often referred to as Tiny Toons) was an animated series that ran from 1990 to 1994, and offered many current They Might Be Giants fans their first exposure to the band's music.

On February 1, 1991, the 51st episode of the series, entitled "Tiny Toons Music Television," first aired. The episode broke the normal format of the series and consisted of five animated music videos starring the show's characters, the first two of which were videos for tracks from TMBG's then-new Flood album; Istanbul (Not Constantinople) and Particle Man.

Both music videos are included on TMBG's 2004 Direct From Brooklyn DVD. John and John also recorded audio commentaries for both videos, during which they discuss how they were contacted by WB for the project, and how the videos were the 'easiest' they'd ever made, as they had relatively nothing to do with them. John Flansburgh also expresses his disapproval of being portrayed as Hamton (a pig) in the Istanbul video, though they realize he may be portraying Mark Feldman, who played violin on the track.
