Skips, who is the white yeti, is the only immortal character in the show.

But seriously, watch this show.The original image used in the meme does not actually occur at any point in Regular Show itself and is instead a fan art creation. Brandt and Cervone wisely use their sci-fi setting to stretch their iconic characters without changing their essential core.įinal Judgment: This is why I’m glad the dorms get Boomerang. Duck Dodgers makes sure that its two stars get what they’ve always wanted: Daffy a starring role, and Porky a turn as someone other than a hapless fall guy. In a smart move, Bugs Bunny never puts in an appearance, and only gets mentioned in a joke about him overshadowing another star (wink, wink). Okay, maybe not so logical, but still fun. Elmer Fudd as a mind-controlling viral entity. Other familiar Looney Tunes characters pop up from time to time, in unfamiliar yet logical guises.

The setup: Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Marvin the Martian “play” space hero Duck Dodgers, eager young space cadet Eager Young Space Cadet, and Martian Commander X-2. So a few years back Warner Brothers went ahead and produced a full-scale series based on it, directed by world-class Chuck Jones imitators Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone. George Lucas had it shown in some theaters before the orignal Star Wars because it so inspired him, and as the years gone by he’s come ever closer to turning the franchise into his dream of a ridiculous cartoon. That right there is the original Looney Tunes short, parodying Buck Rogers, which as you can see rules. Premise: Daffy Duck… IIIIIIINNNNN SPAAAAAAAACE Network: Cartoon Network then, Boomerang now Title: Duck Dodgers In the 24 th½ Century Instead, I’ll just recommend a cool cartoon you should go track down on the Internet because you, unlike me, have free time on your hands.
