Cartoon
The Adventures of Jonny Quest

Animal
The guys from "The Air Up There"

Outfit: shields / spears / aguileri

Tagline:  "LOOLOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOOROTF"

Plot summary:  These guys appear for about three seconds in the closing credits of the show. They choose to spend their three seconds chucking spears at a spaceship. (more)

User Comments:  They never appear in a single episode of the show, but I don't know if they really need to. It's clear that these guys were just kind of chilling out, minding their own business in the middle of a lifeless desert. Then some sort of a spaceship/hovercraft stops by, taking up all their airspace which I guess they were planning on using for a lesser god or something. I'd be angry too.

Or maybe the guys in the hovercraft stole something valuable from the natives. This cartoon was made in 1964, and I imagine at the time they were meant to have stolen their dignity, civil rights, or seat on the bus. But it is now the year 2006, so I guess that means they stole a basketball and maybe some social progress-eroding rap music.

Before they resort to spear-chucking, they just kind of stand there carrying on and waving their fingers in the air. Can't blame them, really. If you lived in what is basically the desert from King's Quest V, wouldn't you want to stay put if you found any form of life-sustaining vegetation? Two more screens' worth of dragging around in the desert and they're done for. I wouldn't wish a deathscape of ice cream and typos and lemon-meringue pie upon even my worst of enemies.
