“I need some packing material.”  
“What for?”  
“To pack.”  
“To pack what?”  
“Some things.”  
“What things?”  
“Zorak things.”  
“Like ten or twelve things?”  
“Maybe everything. You know, just in case.”

(It’s a bit edited for length, but that’s how we do it!) Also:

“I’m tired of standing up all the time. I want a chair. It’ll say Moltar on it. It’ll be Moltar’s chair. It’ll be great.”  
“If he gets a chair, I want a puppy!”

(This one is surprisingly versatile. When I got my sister Betsey a bowl that said “Betsey’s Bowl” on the side, she was going around saying, “It’ll say Betsey on it. It’ll be Betsey’s bowl. It’ll be great!” in her Moltar voice.)

“I, Zorak, must single handedly break the mysterious Backstreet Boys  
hex that plagues your planet. Let all who have eyes, read! It is I,  
Zorak, Backstreet Boy slayer.”

SG: “Citizen Beck, expound on your freak-like manner.”

**Birdman**  
You know, Tad, don’t you think it’s ironic that when I ask for money it’s called begging, but when you drop to your knees it’s called a telethon.  
**Space Ghost**  
Yeah, how about that? Ain’t that somethin’?  
**Birdman**  
I got somethin’ I can do for your telethon. How about I decorate your back window with a little of my special guano?  
**Space Ghost**  
How about if I throw some corn on the floor and you peck it up with your mouth!  
**Brak**  
That’s okay, Bird Man, I’ll do it, I like corn!

**Space Ghost**  
Hey Zorak, how did you escape certain death when I blew up your planet?  
**Zorak**  
I…I crouched

**Dr, Nightmare**  
That’s Dr. Nightmare, Attorney at Law, Mr. Fat Boy. I got my degree at space prison after you unjustly sent me up the galactic river!  
**Space Ghost**  
Unjustly? You vibro-shocked three galaxies out of existence! You stole fizzy-lifting drinks! And then you tried to steal my brain!  
**Zorak**  
Petty larceny.

**Greta Van Susterem**  
What, did you zap Paris?  
**Space Ghost**  
Oh, you know, they bugged me, with, with their Frenchness.

I like Tad Ghostal because his arch-enemy is John Tesh. The man _and_ the musician.

Sadly, though, I have no quote.

**Brak** : That story scared the pants off me! …Guess I’d better put my pants back on…

**Space Ghost** : Moltar, you’re looking rather _bbeeeelllllcch_ plump today… (my favorite episode ever!)  
**Space Ghost** : What’s a refractory period?  
**Moltar** : Aaah, I’ll show you later.

**Thom Yorke** Here’s to getting hitched.  
**Space Ghost** Yeah, let’s drink till our hearts stop.

I also finally got to see the Sealab episode with the line:  
“Wow! It feels like a koala bear just crapped a rainbow in my brain!”

I can’t top the koala bear line, but my favorite is:

**Brak** “When can I go bowling?”  
**SG** “When monkeys fly out of my… ear.”  
**Brak** “Well, when are they gonna do it? I haven’t got all day, y’know!”

That may actually be from _Cartoon Planet_, but they both rule so neener. 😛

Paise “Bob”, I could do this all day!

from my favorite episode:

SG: “Zorak, you are in the clutches of…Vibrotronica!”

## Zorak: Bzzzzzzzzzt

SG: (zaps Peter Fonda) Take that, Confusitron!

## Zorak: Great. You just blasted Ted Turner’s brother-in-law.

SG: (slips and falls on shiny, polished surface) Confound you Polisher!

Why oh why did the Cartoon Network take SGC2C off the Sunday night Adult Swim schedule and replace it with a repeat of the uber-crappy Baby Blues?

more quotes later…

…featuring Zorak’s cute little nephew, Raymond.

Towards end of show:  
**Space Ghost** : “Hey, where’s Raymond?”

**Zorak** : Oh, I devoured him.

**Space Ghost** : “That’s barbaric!..Uh, got any left?”  
I’ve got three tapes full of episodes, all from the first couple of years. I lost track after that. I’m assuming from this thread that _Coast to Coast_ is still on? Is it still as clever as it used to be?

Maybe I’ll have a _Coast to Coast_ marathon tonight. I know I’ll find more of my favorite moments!

My favorite line from “Hungry”

SPACE GHOST: Look here, pizza man. I’m Space Ghost, I’m hungry, I’ve got a talking voodoo doll taking chunks out of my horse and I want my pizza!

The arguement over what kind of pizza topping is great too. “Gimmie Sun-Bloated Orange Ruffie!”

From my favorite episode “dam” in which the subliminal messages voice from tape he listened to tells him to do…things.

VOICE: (You don’t have time for this. You must destroy the Hoover Dam. It is your destiny.)  
SPACE GHOST: What if I get caught?  
VOICE: (You’re Space Ghost, superhero to millions. Who would suspect you?)  
SPACE GHOST: Yeah, I am Space Ghost. It’s my destiny.  
VOICE: (You better hurry up!)  
SPACE GHOST: What about my pants?  
VOICE: (What?!)  
SPACE GHOST: My, my, my pants.  
VOICE: (Your pants are fine. Hurry!)  
SPACE GHOST: Let me just say goodbye to Charlton, okay?  
VOICE: (Uh uh! Someone’s going to beat you to it!)  
SPACE GHOST: All right, all right! (aloud) Uh, Charlton, I gotta go. Pick up the kids. Who are, nnnot in Nevada.

They shifted the schedule around. SGC2C is back to 12:30 AM and Baby Blues is gone. Too bad, I actually I loved that show during the original run. Hopefully they’ll get the rights to Dilbert. Heck, they got The Oblongs.

Maybe I’ll start an Adult Swim quote thread… (Three hams will fill him, three hams will thrill him…)
