      Seconded. That show is a unique gem.

      A little info - it was made in the early days of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim segment. The network had acquired the rights to use characters from Hanna-Barbera (in this example, the characters are from “Sealab 2020,” a show from the 70s) and creatives were basically given a free-for-all pass to do whatever they wanted. And they ran with it. The humor is absurd and it’s glorious.

      Another fun fact - Sealab 2021 shares a universe with the show Archer. They were both created/produced by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson, with an episode of Archer (“Sea-Tunt”) providing a crossover between the two.

      The acquisition of Hanna-Barbera characters also gave Adult Swim the shows Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast (a parody of late night talk shows) and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (which sees various iconic Hanna-Barbera characters, like Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear or the Scooby-Doo gang, facing legal issues.) I haven’t rewatched Space Ghost since its airing, but I have rewatched Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and I’d definitely recommend putting that on your download list as well.
