Quotes:

Brak: One time, I hired a monkey to take notes for me in class. I would just sit back with my mind completely blank while the monkey scribbled on little pieces of paper. At the end of the week, the teacher said, "Class, I want you to write a paper using your notes." So I wrote a paper that said, "Hello! My name is Bingo! I like to climb on things! Can I have a banana? Eek, eek!" I got an F. When I told my mom about it, she said, "I told you, never trust a monkey!"

Wait a minute Cartoon Network. YOU cancelled THIS?????

I used to watch this show all the time. I would have a really hard time watching the show without laughing at least once. The show is incredibly random, and the jokes are as witty as the Simpsons. The show stars Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak, as they dish out all the dis and jokes they can in a half hour. There are also sing alongs that are just flat out hilarious, no matter how many times you see them. Another reason this show was so good is because they would have clips from Japanese movies (mainly Ultra 7 stuff) and would use them for making up vacation areas around the universe! I miss this show sooooo much!
