Cap'n Mel doesn't know what he's getting himself into...

10

By QueenofQuotes, May 21, 2007

I LOVE this episode. Or, specifically, I love the songs, especially, "Cartoon Individual." It was a wonderful parody of an opera song that I don't understand, and set the par a bit high for the rest of the series - something that was never a problem, of course. The episode also used two of the best catchphrases - "Faboo," and Yakko's always famous, "Ahhhhh..." Cap'n Mel and his crew were entertaining, to say the least. I especially liked the sign that he held up, with the arrow pointing down at himself. It was a classic, lol, visual gag moment. Plus, this episode is a good example of the show's random nature - I mean, pulling a cannibal out of a bag? That's just GENIUS! Pure, comedic GENIUS!moreless
