Space Ghost coming to DVD!

DrewBoo · Post by **DrewBoo** » Wed Jun 04, 2003 5:36 am

O_O Space Ghost is my favorite show ever. I will buy all 8 (or 9?) seasons, I tell you!

They made one episode this year, with the Aqua Teens in it, and SG was on the Brak Show (which Al did a voice on once!). I guess it's the end of the line for SG:C2C.

Memorable SG quotes:

"I don't think about anything except... *thinks* I... don't think about anything"
"Then what was the point of sanding my face off"
"Banjoooooooo!"
"Because it's more fantastical."
"Moltar, I have a giant brain, which is capable of turning any complex machine into a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer."
"The cleaners were closed, but I found this wonderful blouse in the gutter, and afashioned a hat out of a fry box."
"I'm SG and it's plain to see that my name is SG because my names is SQ"
"It's electrifyin'! *echo* "
"Did the lights just flicker? Look at it but don't blink."

Here's the Episodes that will appear on the first DVD:

Spanish Translation
Gilligan
Elevator
CHiPs
Bobcat
Banjo
Punch
Batmantis
Self Help
Gum, Disease

And last, but not least, the transcript of Al's interview:

SPACE GHOST: My next guest is Weird Al Yankovic, here he comes now!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Hi, people of the universe! Hi! Look at me, I'm on TV! Whoooooooo! Whoooooooo! (LAUGHS)

SPACE GHOST: (IMITATES) Whoooooooo! Whooooooooo!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Ahh! Ahhhaa!

SPACE GHOST: Whoooooooo! Welcome to the show, Weird Al. Whoooooooo!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Thank you! I, I, uh, I can't tell you what a intense thrill it is to be on your show, I...

SPACE GHOST: Sure you could!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

ZORAK: Tell him now! Tell him!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Hey Zorak, you...

ZORAK: Shut up!

SPACE GHOST: Oooooh.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: (FRUSTRATED) I don't know how!

SPACE GHOST: Hey Al, tell us about your new record.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Oh please, Space Ghost, um, I, I came on your show because I'm a, I'm a big fan, not to plug my latest album...

SPACE GHOST: Wrong! Next question! Super powers, got any?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Well, um, I can eat my own weight in Ding Dongs. I can turn red traffic lights green just by staring at them, and I can do an oil painting with my butt.

SPACE GHOST: That's enough to get you on this show.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Yeah, times are a little hard, I guess.

SPACE GHOST: So, what'd you think of Schooly?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: He's, he's a party animal, he's, he's, he's a nut, he's completely out of control, he's, he's a party in a can, he's a wacky, zany, nutty funster.

SPACE GHOST: Zorak's wacky. Ain't he?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Sure, um. Hey, Zorak, you evil locust!

ZORAK: Mantis!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: My powers are beyond your comprehension.

ZORAK: (EYES SPINNING) Do a B flat.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Baaaaaaaaa! (DOES A REALLY HIGH B FLAT).

SPACE GHOST: (JOINS IN, SLIGHTLY OFF KEY, TRYING SEVERAL TIMES) Baaaaaaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaaaaaa!

ZORAK: Now, contort your body.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Okay. (CONTORTS HIS BODY)

SPACE GHOST: Baaaaaaaa... what does that feel like?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Well, it's kinda painful and it kinda feels good at the same time.

SPACE GHOST: You mean like when your enemy is shaving your back and...

MOLTAR: (SHIVERING) Oh-h-h-h-h-h!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: (STILL CONTORTED) Can you help me here, Space Ghost?

SPACE GHOST: What?

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Can you help me?

SPACE GHOST: Oh, yeah, yeah. (SAYS "SPELL" AGAIN; AL UN-CONTORTS) You know, that reminds me of a story... a story about a little pellet who, with a little grit and a lot of sheer will, became a Sea Monkey...

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Also he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

SPACE GHOST: (LAUGHS) And you know, Al, that little Sea Monkey is named Banjo.

ZORAK: Here, Banjo! (BANJO APPEARS ON THE SET, HE IS MONSTROUS)

SPACE GHOST: Banjo!

ZORAK: Here, shrimp.

SPACE GHOST: Aren't you plucky! Finding your way to the set...

(BANJO SHOOTS A RAY OUT OF HIS MOUTH AT ZORAK)

ZORAK: Uh oh. (GETS BLASTED)

SPACE GHOST: Jumpin' jujubes!

MOLTAR: Man, that's a big shrimp!

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: Gotta go now! (WAVES, DUCKS OUT OF HIS CHAIR AND LEAVES)

SPACE GHOST: No, Banjo! Why are you doing this? I gave you life!

ZORAK: No!! (GETS BLASTED AGAIN BY BANJO)

SPACE GHOST: What have I unleashed! (IN A LOW VOICE) That's it boy. Come get some.

(SPACE GHOST FIRES A DESTRUCTO-RAY AND BLOWS UP BANJO. THE SMOKE CLEARS, SPACE GHOST LANDS ON THE FLOOR; A PIECE OF BANJO FALLS NEARBY)

SPACE GHOST: Why do we always hurt the ones we love? Why Banjo? Why?! Banjo! Banjo! Banjooooo!

(BLACK SCREEN WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDS:)

IN MEMORY OF

Banjo

I thought it just said he was the first celebrity to do so.

With all of the oddball guests they've had on that show over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if more celebrities had asked to appear in later seasons.

Yeah I am sure there were more after Al but I just thought it was cool that they mentioned that distinction in the CD. Ill try to be more precise next time.

IIRC, didn't Hanson also ask to be on SG:C2C?? They were obviously as big fans of the show as Al [judging from the episode "Girl Hair" from 1999 -- "So, you like the lasers, do ya?" "Oh!! Yes!! Oh, higher!!! Please!!!"]. They might even have been inspired to ask to be on the show since Al had asked and gotten on; they probably talked about it during their work together on "River". Anybody know?

Been watching it since it first came out and it remains my favorite show on the Adult Swim block. I am going to pee myself when this comes out ^^;

I beleive Bjork also asked to be on. The episode she was in was like the funniest episode EVER. I also heard Tnaticous D did. There episode was hillarious as well. According to that episode, Satan looks exactly like Yogi Bear.

Oh yeah!

Zorak: Satan is here, you know, the guy with the necktie and the crown of femurs.

Space Ghost: Didn't I meet him at the open house?

Also on that episode with Tenacious D:

Space Ghost: Hey, sing a song about me and my bicycle!
Jack Black: Were you attached to your bicycle?
Space Ghost: Well yeah, my dad threw it at me every chance he got. Had to live in the trees, where it was too high to throw.

Congrats on 500 posts, Ratbert.

Wellllllllllll, getting back to the asking thing, the source could be outdated with ONLY. The last Space Ghost Cd came out what, 4 years ago?

Eric, owns the Brak album. Still funniest non Al album I own. And stupidest ever album. But still hilarious.

Actually the CD in question, if I'm thinking of the same one here, was a promo soundtrack with several mixes of the theme song. I'm not exactly sure of the date on it, but it was released a couple of years before the "Musical Bar-B-Que."

Anyway, the booklet looked back at the first season of episodes and offered a little trivia on each one. I thought it said Al was the first as opposed to the only, but either way it was true at the time the CD was made.

Moltar: Yeah, he was the guy, that was tryin' to get you to- kill that girl.

Zorak: Yeah, you know, with the necktie. And, uh, crown made of femurs.

Space Ghost: Uh, I don't remember him.

Zorak: Maybe you didn't see him. Your eyes were all rolled back in your head.

Moltar: Yeah, man, and you kept sayin' "Satan, daddy, satan!"

Congrats on 500 posts, Ratbert.

Why thank you

Oh yeah, that's the quote. I should have looked it up in the transcripts at Adult Swim, but, well, I forgot what the episode was called.
