Sealab 2021 is one of the first [adult swim] original shows, which parodies the 1970s animated series Sealab 2020 (and, to a lesser extent, the entire genre of crudely-animated 60s and 70s cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera) through combining recycled footage and animations with a Gag Dub. The show lasted from November 2000 to April 2005 with a total of fifty-two 15-minute-long episodes over four seasons.Set 20 Minutes into the Future, the series recasts the crew of the titular undersea colony as a group of extremely unstable individuals, all of whom are too crazy or Too Dumb to Live. Several episodes end with the destruction of Sealab as a result of the crew's hijinks (directly or indirectly).Major characters include: Captain Hazel "Hank" Murphy, the unhinged leader of Sealab, who has the mentality and attention span of a six-year-old. After voice actor Harry Goz died, Murphy was replaced with: Captain Bellerophon "Tornado" Shanks, an overbearing former football coach (voiced by Harry Goz's son, Michael Goz). Quentin Q. Quinn, a black Token Minority scientist who is usually the only character with half a brain (though he isn't above picking up the Idiot Ball and/or inexplicably becoming a Mad Scientist... or, um, Shaft). As established in two episodes, he's a full body cyborg. Debbie Dupree, an easily offended, promiscuous blonde marine biologist who later becomes Quinn's on-again off-again girlfriend. Debbie Love (or "Black Debbie"), the schoolteacher and the only other black person on Sealab. Jodene Sparks, the scheming radio operator who never leaves his chair, even when scuba-diving. It's not entirely clear if he's actually chair-bound, just really lazy or pulling off a scam by claiming a disability (especially since the answer changes between episodes). He plays the Only Sane Man from time to time, but being criminally insane stops him from doing so as frequently as Quinn. Marco Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Gabriel Garcia Marquez (voiced by Erik Estrada), a Latin lothario. He was originally the Only Sane Man, but this was quickly dropped. Derek "Stormy" Waters, a boyishly handsome idiot who seems to always end up in Odd Couple situations with Quinn.Minor characters include Hesh Hepplewhite, a sarcastic engineer and aspiring rap artist who frequently speaks in ghetto-slang and/or refers to himself in the third person; Dolphin-boy, a rotund human child who only speaks dolphin; Dr. Ilad Virjay, the station's medical doctor and Hindu-rock icon; and Ted from Accounting.Adam Reed and Matt Thompson initially created the idea while working for Cartoon Network as production assistants; they found tapes of 2020, wrote new dialogue for them, and presented the idea to the network. It passed on the idea in 1995, but reconsidered the idea five years later (around the time it had started to develop [adult swim]). As a result of this approach, Reed and Thompson made the show's pilot and several episodes from the first couple of seasons using Stock Footage from Sealab 2020; they replaced the original banal environmentalist plot lines with Black Comedy and other weirdness, then edited the footage (and added in some original touches of their own). A notable exception to this approach occurs with the episode "7211", which remade one of the original Sealab 2020 episodes with the 2021 cast and played it completely straight — but there's a clue to the viewers that something is up with this remake: after the captain of the sub decides to team up with Murphy despite holding a grudge against him, a '70s-era title card which says "PLACE COMMERCIAL HERE" is displayed. (During the end credits of the episode, Sealab explodes. Again.)Midway through the show's run, Harry Goz (the voice actor for Captain Murphy) died, which caused a major change in tone for the entire series. The one-off crazy elements of the earlier episodes were dropped, and after Captain Murphy left Sealab to fight in the spice wars, he was replaced with the slightly-more-sane Captain Shanks (who, as noted above, was portrayed by Harry Goz's son). The series retained its trademark surrealism while experimenting with long-form storylines (including Debbie's relationship with Quinn, the saga of Marco's apparent death, and the introduction of Sharko, Marco's half-shark/half-human son). These episodes also featured more original animation than stock footage, and it's easy to see the shift in tone from earlier seasons. In its typical surreal fashion, the last episode featured a series of fourth-wall-breaking scenes involving the characters as actors who know Sealab is a TV show, and the show faded to black with the promise of airing a trailer for a new horror film starring the characters.Filled with surreal humor and meandering, random, nonsensical stories, Sealab helped set the tone for the emerging [adult swim], and its influence can be felt across the first several years of the program.This show now has a Recap page in progress.Adam Reed went on to helm Frisky Dingo and Archer, the latter of which had a Fake Crossover with this show in "Sea Tunt" | |

Dagwood Sandwich: Used for a visual gag when Quinn says Stormy couldn't fix a sandwich, much less fix a busted fuse. He does both. Underwater. And the characters point out how good the Dagwood looks, with one upset Stormy won't share given the effort he went through to make it. | |

Cousin Oliver: Parodied with "Sharko", introduced in season 4 as the product of Marco's illicit love affair with a shark, repeatedly summarized as "He put his human penis in her shark-gina". It was probably one of the few times in which this trope was purposefully invoked. Sharko left a few episodes later. He came Back for the Finale and promptly got hit by Shanks's 'Captain's Log' to cheers from the audience. | |

Foreigner for a Day: In the episode "Let 'Em Eat Corn", Capt. Shanks has Sealab declared a sovereign nation (to get out of paying income taxes), which sets off a wave of increasingly goofy sub-secessions amongst the crew. By the end of the cartoon, even Stormy's furniture and bathroom fixtures (which he claims are robots known as "Change-A-Trons" and "Plumb-bots") have declared their independence. | |

Diabolical Mastermind: Sparks has the rather frequent tendency to hatch evil schemes, including (but not limited to) making millions in life insurance by killing the Sealab crew, addicting them to a medicine made from a deadly neurotoxin, and blackmailing Quinn into turning him into 'Sparkimus Prime,' the chainsaw-handed robot. Also, in what turned out to only have been a daydream of Captain Murphy's, Sparks has a secret mountain stronghold, complete with a veritable army of henchmen. | |

Ur-Example: This show is basically a prototypical example of The Abridged Series, as it splices parts of Sealab 2020 with a Gag Dub, exaggerating the characters' personalities and generally parodying the original, although it was produced with the permission of the owners of the original show. | |

Take That! | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A brief one toward Stargate SG-1, when Quinn suggests that having your only black character be a primitive alien outsider who carries a "space spear" is racist. The "Grizzlebee's" ads are a big one against chain restaurants for serving unhealthy, low quality foods in overly large portions. The average customer is shown to be morbidly obese and even the ads refer to them as being fat (with curbside service described as being for people too fat and lazy to walk inside and delivery "for fat ass shut-ins"). Sealab peppered its latter seasons with anti-anime (and anime fan) jokes culminating in Sparks looking through fake tentacle hentai titles until stumbling upon one called "Japan, WHAT IS YOUR FREAKING DEAL?!" In one episode a never before seen gay crewmember said one day society would look upon Will & Grace with the same level of embarrassment that we now look upon Amos 'n' Andy. | |

Political Overcorrectness: "Article 4" centers around everyone using affirmative action to get promoted to captain. The only ones that don't by the end are Murphy (already captain), Quinn (has too much pride), Stormy (too stupid), and Allen (as the article actually discriminates against Asians). | |

Lost in Translation | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Also overlaps with Inconsistent Dub in the Latin American Spanish dub: While the name of the show was translated literally to Laboratorio submarino 2021, the name of the titular lab is still pronounced in English as "Sealab", very likely to avoid Lip Lock, since laboratorio submarino requires more words (about 20, plus 10 syllable clusters) than Sealab (just six words and two syllable clusters), through some episodes did translated the place as laboratorio submarino in Spanish. | |

Precision F-Strike: Subverted in the episode "7211", which is a redub of an episode of the original Sealab 2020, and thus doesn't contain any swearing from the characters. When the Credits Gag comes up, you'd expect the Obligatory Swearing to come up, but all that is said is Captain Murphy going, "Hmmmmmmmm, m'kay." | |

Negative Continuity: Pretty much every episode ends with the destruction of Sealab and the death of her crew. Lampshaded in the first episode. As the series went on, more and more episodes would be referenced (including episodes in which everyone died) or they would show a Continuity Cavalcade every now and then. The last few episodes had the closest thing to a linear continuity as the series got. For instance, Sharko was the focal point of the one and only story arc in the entire series. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The show has frequent pop culture references, often subtle and/or obscure. Among them: Apocalypse Now. There's a scene that copies the dialog between Kurtz and Willard line for line. Right up until the wet willy. The entire episode was inspired by Waking Life. There's a small cleaning robot which is identical in every way to a non-floating version of VINCENT from The Black Hole. The avatars series creators Adam Reed and Matt Thompson use for themselves in the faux behind the scenes episodes are actually from the 70's Scooby-Doo clone Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids. One episode references the short story "The Scarlet Ibis". Hesh's desire for metal teeth in "Happy Cake" is a nod to Jaws from the James Bond entries The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. | |

One-Steve Limit: An Averted Trope, thanks to "Debbie" and "Black Debbie". They lampshade the fact that "Debbie" is not called "White Debbie" for laughs. | |

Identical Stranger | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: In addition to the Bizarros (and the Groovies), there are the folks on Spacelab, who are identical in name, personality, and, except for skin tone differences, appearance. Also, for some reason, they all have breasts. | |

Product Placement | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Parodied in some episodes that feature constant and intrusive advertisements for the fictional "Grizzlebee's" restaurant chain. The Bebop Cola episode was revealed at the end to just be a commercial pitch. | |

Bizarro Universe | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_f57372a1 | comment |
Bizarro Universe: Which in this series, is a universe where everyone shouts "Bizarro!" a lot and is even weirder and more insane than the main cast. | |

Ridiculously Human Full Body Cyborg: Other than the show occasionally mentioning it, and Quinn showing off a chest plate full of lights in one of the first episodes, you'd almost forget that Quinn's entire body is robotic. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: Brought on by multiple near-death experiences via electrocution in "Waking Quinn". This particular episode is probably the strangest episode of the entire series... which says a lot. | |

Comically Missing the Point : Stormy manages to do it twice in one conversation when the others try explaining why calling someone "Black Debbie" isn't a good thing, And a 3rd time five minutes later, after driving said Debbie into an angry rant with his unwitting racism. | |

You Mean "Xmas" | |
| Sealab 2021 / int_fd497586 | comment |
You Mean "Xmas": "Feast of Alvis" is a parody of Christmas Episodes. Due to invokedExecutive Meddling, every religion was replaced by a fictional equivalent. For example, Jesus was replaced with Alvis, a cowboy whose total dissimilarity to Jesus just makes the obvious parallel all the funnier. Celebrated, of course, with an over-abundance of the traditional gifts of ham, firearms, and whiskey. Then again, 7030's offices were located in Atlanta, which is in the Bible Belt. "Alvistide" isn't so far around the bend in some parts of the country. | |
