| The Brak Show | comment |
The Brak Show (2000-2003) was a very surreal Quarter Hour Short on [adult swim], parodying Dom Coms, set (sort of) in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast universe. The show starred Brak and Zorak as high school students in a suburban neighborhood.It was animated by Wild Hare Studios, which animated Aqua Teen Hunger Force for its first two seasons. Clay Martin Croker, who played Zorak, was also the animation director for both series. It ran for three seasons and twenty-eight episodes before it was unexpectedly canceled, with viewers not finding out until the end of the final episode, the first of the original Adult Swim lineup (not counting Cowboy Bebop, which didn't belong to them) to be canceled. | |

Darker and Edgier: Season two compared to season one, justified in that season one aired before [adult swim] had "officially" split from Cartoon Network. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| The Brak Show / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: Of a sort, as one episode revolved around Zorak having his booth (wherein he had people pay him to beat them up, since they'd "be getting it anyway") stolen by a new bully named "Butchy" Toughington. Of course, Zorak's attempts to fight Butchy end with an ass-beating. | |

Black Comedy | |
| The Brak Show / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: "Splat" has this in droves. Mom and Dad run over Zorak, leading to several dark scenes, such as her playing with this dead head as a puppet, and both of them eating his remains as "chicken." Once Clarence threatens to tell, she brutally murders him and grinds his body into sausages. Throughout the episode, she makes several quips about her actions, but at least the end reveals "Mom" in this episode was actually a substitute named Brenda. | |

End-of-Series Awareness | |
| The Brak Show / int_38c493f1 | comment |
End-of-Series Awareness: Deliberately subverted. There's no indication whatsoever in "Cardburkey" that it's the last episode until the literal last line, "I wish we weren't penguins and that our show wasn't canceled." And then the episode just stops, followed by the Cartoon Network logo and a deflated snipped of the theme song. At least during the original airing, there was a brief Show Within a Show epilogue where Brak and his dad respond to Adult Swim canceling them. | |

Wham Line: The show's final line is Brak revealing that the show has been canceled. Dad's line after the show was canceled. Parodied in "All That I Desire You" (which made fun of soap opera tropes) with the revelations that Dad was really the tumor-bearing millionaire Drake Gainway the entire time, Brak's wife was actually his half-sister due to being Dad's legitimate daughter, and that Zorak, and Clarence were the illegitimate children of Dad's mistress, Cynthia (who Zorak and Clarence both married). | |

| The Brak Show / int_8b5db38b | comment |
They Killed Kenny Again: Zorak has been killed a few times, but always manages to return (although "Splat" required some magical assistance for that to happen). Clarence has also been killed or grievously injured a few times, as well (such as in the aforementioned "Splat"). Not of the show itself, but Dad once hosted a series of "We will kill you" Halloween bumpers in 2003. The Running Gag involved him being killed in almost every one of them. | |

Kill It with Fire: Zorak is seen discharging a flamethrower in the opening credits, and appears in one fantasy sequence turning that same flamethrower onto an auditorium. He also undergoes an inexplicable "metamorphosis" in one episode that gives him pyrokinesis, which he uses to set Thundercleese, Wunderbird, and Clarence aflame. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes | |
| The Brak Show / int_a861560f | comment |
The Friend Nobody Likes: Zorak. Wantonly destructive, more than willing to pull pranks on everybody, and in general seen as a nuisance by everyone but Brak. That all being said, he still hangs out with Brak's family and helps them out, like participating in a play Brak put on or playing a role in Dad's campaign ad. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| The Brak Show / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Not the official titles, but episodes from Season 1 started with a parody of a Dom Com, but with Brak's name, much like Ed, Edd n Eddy. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| The Brak Show / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: When Thundercleese's powers are turned off after being deemed "obsolete", Zorak takes this opportunity to destroy his garden since he can no longer blast him like usual. Zorak has this reaction when Brak tells Thundercleese his powers were turned back on due to the threat of an oncoming meteor. | |

| The Brak Show / int_bd8b2b0b | comment |
To Serve Man: Zorak surmises that the mothership that appears in "Pepper" is a lunch wagon that'll take the "lucky one" and feed them to a giant worm. It turns out he was not far off when they abduct Sisto and ask how long it takes to "prepare themselves". | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Brak Show / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: As seen in his "grandma prison" flashbacks, Zorak shared the same prison number as Alex DeLarge. Merlin, the more serious wizard, shares the same garb colors as another wizard with the same name. Brak has a jar containing a "Charlie Daniels Gland", which he named because of the hat it inexplicably possesses. The bulletin board in Brak's bedroom has a 2 Stupid Dogs picture on it. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Despite the androgynous voice and vaguely feminine appearance, Pepper is actually a guy. Zorak is quite disturbed and pissed off when he finds out. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Dad often demonstrates this side of himself through his nuggets of wisdom. Or emptying a shotgun into an ice cream display case for "trying to rob him". The titular Brak demonstrates this on a regular basis due to how eccentric and goofy he is. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Everyone calls Brak's parents "Dad" and "Mom". Including campaign advertisements and newspapers. Subverted in "The Bashingtons" where "Dad" tells Brak his name is Javier, and he isn't Brak's dad after finding out they were canceled. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| The Brak Show / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: Braklet, Prince of Spaceland is a take on Hamlet. Of course, this is still The Brak Show so everything is completely insane. For example, there is a lightsaber battle at the end, and a plug for The Powerpuff Girls Movie. The way that episode ended could qualify as a Gainax Ending. | |

The Chew Toy | |
| The Brak Show / int_e4f5affb | comment |
The Chew Toy: Clarence grew into this role as he made more appearances. He's been dropped down a trapdoor, set on fire by a pyrokinetic Zorak, nonchalantly gunned down also by Zorak (offscreen, he thought they were playing squirt guns), Eaten Alive by a giant ant, had his body processed into sausages, and lost part of his head to a shoulder rocket. | |

Crossover | |
| The Brak Show / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: One with Space Ghost Coast to Coast where Space Ghost shows up to try and get Brak back while Moltar meets Brak and Zorak. "The Bashingtons", a series of shorts played during New Year's Eve 2003 that starts with Brak's mom and dad inviting all the other Adult Swim stars at the time (specifically, everyone from a show made by Williams Street, so no appearances of the Home Movies characters or their anime lineup) for a New Year's Eve party. The last segment ends with Dad watching the show get canceled, Mom running off with their last paycheck, and George Lowe begging Adult Swim executive Keith Crofford to keep Space Ghost on. | |
