The Snorks was a 1980s cartoon, originally developed by Freddy Monnickendam and produced by Hanna-Barbera. The first two seasons aired on NBC, the last two were syndicated. The show was about the Snorks, who live in a village under the sea and have snorkel-like appendages on their heads instead of noses. The Snorks were forbidden to ever leave their undersea village because those in power didn't want them to be found by humanity. So, Once an Episode, the heroes of the show had to leave the village for the greater good. And they always got away with it, despite the punishment for leaving being steep....at least, that was the gist of Season 1. The later seasons focused more on how the Snorks interacted with each other. Things really changed once the show hit syndication; new characters were introduced, and the old ones either had their personality tweaked or were ousted altogether.It's a little like The Smurfs but underwater — and the characters have their own individual appearances. They do their smurfing in pretty much the same way (All's well that snorks well!).

The Unintelligible: Tooter speaks in the form of "tooting" various sound effects. He can also talk to animals. In "The Whole Toot and Nothing But...", Tooter has failed speech three times, and will soon be held back. When his parents take him to the doctor to fix the situation, they discover there's more to Tooter than they had thought. One episode had a character named Tadah who only spoke in the form of "tooting". The only word she could say was "y'all".

 The Snorks / int_3dcc914f
comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Junior is still a huge jerk in Seasons 3 and 4, but has shown to care about Allstar in "Allstar's Final Hour" and is much less cruel towards Tooter, helping him out at times and rarely making fun of his lack of speech anymore. It's to the point where Allstar and the gang can stand hanging out with him now.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In the Season 1 theme's Opening Narration, the narrator claims the Snorks were described in the year 1634 in the logbook of Captain Ortega, after his ship sank into a lagoon by a barrier reef. The logbook was found in a monastery by the narrator.

Beware the Nice Ones: In the episode "In Junior's Image", a mirror-image duplicate of Junior is brought into the Snorks' world. He appears to be the opposite of Junior with regard to personality, but near the end of the episode it turns out he's not only even more of a Jerkass than Junior, but he turns into a 12-foot-tall clawed abomination, which is all the more disturbing because his face didn't change at all.
