comment
Animated Series about a luckless pirate and his anthropomorphic rat sidekick, Snuk. A wildly selfish jerk, Jack would probably be unsympathetic if not for the fact that he is absolutely the universe's Butt-Monkey. Imagine Bruce Campbell playing Black Adder, but as a Saturday-Morning Cartoon, and you'll have an idea of what it's like.Produced by Saban Entertainment, written by Bill Kopp of Eek! The Cat and directed by Jeff DeGrandis, fresh off their run on Toonsylvania. Aired on Fox Kids, was canceled after a short run, and now can't really be found in reruns, as there are no DVDs (except for Romania.... strange, isn't it?) available but YouTube DOES show episodes (and in English too).

Arbitrary Skepticism: After having met dragons and witches in the past, you'd think Mad Jack would know better than to claim that vampires don't exist.

On One Condition: Mad Jack inherits a treasure from his Uncle Mortimer. However, the will stipulates that Uncle Mortimer's body and his dog must be taken to the Island of Hanna-Barbarian. The condition is fulfilled but, because Status Quo Is God, the treasure consists of a chest full of dog biscuits.

Trivial Title: The episode "The Treasure Of The Headless, Left-Handed, Peatmoss Salesman" starts with Mad Jack looking for the titular treasure until a cop finds out his license expired a long time ago. Mad Jack spends most of the episode at the DMMV tring to renew it so he can resume his search and, once he fails, he gives up on the treasure and gets a job at the DMMV. The treasure is merely mentioned.note Always by its full name.

The Death of Death: In "Of Zerzin, Fleebis, Queues and Cures", Mad Jack and Snuk are on a quest to find a cure for Mad Jack before he succumbs to Fleebis, and will be claimed by Dr. Death. They succeed just in time, and to get back at Dr. Death, they trick him into eating poisonous berries, killing him (which even Mr. Death himself thought was impossible).

Who Even Needs a Brain?
 Mad Jack the Pirate / int_5982199f
comment
Who Even Needs a Brain?: In one of the episodes, Jack gets a deadly disease that can only be cured by eating specific berries from an island of unknown location. Once they arrive there, Jack quickly starts eating the first berries they come across as soon as Snuk reads from the medical book that it should be these ones. However, as Snuk reads further into the book, it turns out that these particular berries actually cause the eater's eyes and brain to explode. Cue Jack spitting all the berries immediately, but still having both his brain and his eyes literally shoot out of his head. In the next scene, he holds both in a mug filled with water, but is otherwise fine.

Sugar Bowl: In an episode, Mad Jack and Snuk go search for a treasure in The Island of Pink and Fuzzy: A place where almost everything is pink, trees are candy canes, and where flying talking pink poodles, strong peppermint smelling sprites, and horrible all-devouring teddy bears with knife-sharp teeth live. Mad Jack isn't amused.

The only drink there is grape soda, and the only entree is pizza, much to Jack's annoyance. On top of that, the animatronics are run-down, and malfunction...hilariously, once Jack pours water into one of them for kicks.
