Harvey Birdman's line “Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, we all lived through the seventies, the clothes, the music, the heartwarming but rarely amusing Ziggy cartoons.” is classic Birdman, and the Sealab 2021 skit on the following track is almost too funny to be put into words. Master Shake rants after almost every other track begging Danger Doom to record an album for him, and Brak attempts to act “Cool, G,” (fans of Adult Swim will immediately pick up on these quirky aspects of the characters).
