Also, while I believe this clip is more specifically from Cartoon Planet which was on TBS or whatever, SGC2C is still directly responsible for the creation of this glorious duet.
The cooking episode of SGC2C cracks me up every time
from Space Ghost getting grossed out by the chicken, Zorak asking for the bones, to Space Ghost going on the defensive every time Emeril says BAM that whole episode is solid gold
The one where space ghost interviews a bunch of super models and is just silent the entire time until the models start to talk and he immediately interrupts, then goes silent again

My first exposure to SGC2C was bonus content after the credits on my copy of The Mask on VHS.
Seeing Space Ghost for the first time pre social media was a real experience. Just constant feeling of, "What the hell is this? Is this for real? He's interviewing Bea Arthur?"
Once upon a time, on a cold Christmas Eve in the late 90s, my three brothers and I were settled around the TV watching Cartoon Network, when my mother comes into the room, telling us it's time for us all to get dressed and leave for Christmas Eve Dinner.
"But mommm," we pleaded, "we need to watch the entire Cartoon Planet block, because they're airing an exclusive Space Ghost Christmas special over the course of the evening!"
"It's a Christmas special, if you don't catch all of it this year, you'll catch the rest when they re-run it next year," my mother replied.
So, we all got dressed and left for Christmas Eve Dinner.
Lo and behold, we arrived at next Christmas, to find that, in fact, A Space Ghost Christmas would not be re-aired, nor would it be collected on any DVDs. It was lost to us, dear reader. It remains a point of great contention in our household to this day, my mother's great betrayal (Despite the special existing online nowadays).
I take issue with this response. Yeah sure there is technically time but 1) He ain't going to jail and 2) would that really be justice? All that damage done and he gets a year or two in prison? That's justice? You do damage that people while be repairing for centuries and you got to live a life of power and privilege for 99% of your life?
Then again I also derive to satisfaction from suffering. It wouldn't pleasure me to know that he spent years in prison either.
Adult Swim is at least 50% responsible for bringing back Family Guy.
And Futurama!
I'm still waiting on that Got'Dang King of the Hill
I'm not sure I'm excited for the reboot myself. I really hope there is a bit of a time skip.
Yeah, and also, as much as I love King of the Hill, I'm not exactly in a rush to find out what Mike Judge has been thinking about politics and culture lately. Based on what some of the later seasons of the show had to say about "political correctness," I can just see them doing an episode on "cancel culture" or whatever and I honestly do not foresee anything good coming from that.

Yeah you're feelings are correct if I remember right Judge has literally sat in for Alex fucking Jones.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Unfortunate trend for folks that were previously considered counter-culture.
Dennis Miller's disease, white men get to a certain age/financial range and then they lose their fucking mind.
Precisely, Scott Adams is the other main case that comes to mind for me. I used to love reading Dilbert as a kid.
Dennis Miller, David Mamet, Mike Judge, Scott Adams. I'm sure other people can list others. Different of course from people who were assholes the whole time you just didn't know like the Rock.

Scott Adams is capital C crazy. Like, not winking into the camera crazy, I think he's legitimately unwell after reading some of the shit he's written about women.
I am in the business of saving lives.

I think part of it is being an artist and knowing your most impactful and creative days are behind you.

He also had that whole "time isn't real" thing way before anything Trump-related.

I think I liked Dilbert as a kid because it was a comic strip that I could read and facially understand, like Garfield. Unlike fucking Doonesbury or whatever.

It appealed to the "everyone around me is dumb I am the true smart person" vibe hardcore. Turns out Scott Adams literally thinks that.

Dilbert used to have pretty clever satire of how stupid corporate jobs and management are, I don't blame anyone for liking it in the old days before Adams got dementia or whatever.
Early Dilbert came from experiencing corporate culture and it had something to say (that it was very dumb and wasteful). That strip was successful enough that Adams was able to quickly exit cubicle culture. Without any more new experiences to fuel the work with, Adams quickly fell prey to huffing his own farts and the "keen observations" of a white guy with very limited experience in various aspects of life.

For a very long time he would just reprint slightly altered stories people sent him of workplace hell in his comic.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

I don't think that happened. Jones interviewed Judge once back in 2013, but I can't find anything about Judge sitting in for him.
damn, I was just gonna post this lol
I was like 7 or 8 at the time when I got The Mask on VHS, I HATED this space ghost thing, I thought it was weird and stupid and creepy
I adored this CD, me and my sister listened to it for YEARS. I can still recite some of this shit from memory. I wouldn't actually watch SGC2C for a long time after that, I never actually watched any Adult Swim until high school when I caught one of the blocks at my grandma's house.

When I was twelve years old we got satellite TV, which was a hell of an upgrade from the three channels we could get on antenna when the weather was nice. It was also the year I convinced my parents to leave me home alone while the rest of the family went to the New Years Eve dance in the Amistad gymnasium.
I watched a solid six-hour block of Space Ghost Coast to Coast until midnight while eating microwaved Schwan's frozen pizza, and it was basically the best night of my life up to that point and probably a big reason why I'm this way.

This. SGC2C was my indoctrination into absurdist humor. It was just so different from everything else, like this perfect encapsulation of the 90's.
I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss the early 2000's.
I did not like SGC2C as a kid. Probably because it's a slow burn for comedy and also because the first episode I saw of it was the one with the gas leak when it was midway through.

Sometimes shit gets in the water and gives everyone the cleveland show, i mean Dysentery.
McFarlane is a banned substance for a reason
EDIT: Nope, silly me, didn't even catch the AS watermark when I first loaded the video.

Then later on, in either the end of elementary school, or the beginning of middle school, my dad went on a trip to LA to meet up with one of his old friends, who was now a big shot in the recording industry. He brought back a bunch of new CDs and collections that his friend gave him, including a copy of this: (there's like 40 tracks, the uploader has them all)
I adored this CD, me and my sister listened to it for YEARS. I can still recite some of this shit from memory. I wouldn't actually watch SGC2C for a long time after that, I never actually watched any Adult Swim until high school when I caught one of the blocks at my grandma's house.
