Love it! Had the soundtrack album. “Don’t touch me!” is my favorite. https://youtu.be/pFO5hfumb1A?si=fUCyx-LBeuIlGBxL https://youtu.be/pFO5hfumb1A?si=fUCyx-LBeuIlGBxL

One of the main voice actors for this show is so poor in their mid-age they’re forced (their words) to deliver for Amazon. Does not sound like a fortunate situation to find oneself in.

  Yeah there is a large group of people becoming radicalized every day on twitter as they realize Andy Merrill (Brak) drives an Amazon truck. I think more are also trying to understand why Andy isn’t credited as a co-creator when every account of the creation of it says he is.

Well I have listened to a band "Glass Animals". They have a song "Space Ghost Coast to Coast". I assume that weirdness could have been their inspiration

can't read the article but, based on the headline, I'd date the birth of the weird, in a wider popular culture sense, to Ren&Stimpy in the early 90s.

I think this is the clip that the "no easy task with the primitive video equipment of the early nineties" link in the article originally linked to (it's a local news "behind the scenes" segment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrQXLdYtZKg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrQXLdYtZKg

The first sentence of the article misspells the name of the show.
