So does anyone here remember Earthworm Jim? Pretty weird game back in the day, and it even had a cartoon that lasted two seasons. I watched a good number of episodes and I gotta say it's rather creative as well as bizarre, with characters the likes of Major Mucus, Professor Monkey For A Head and Princess What's Her Name. It runs in a similar vein to The Tick in terms of humor, cleverness and weirdness, but I found Jim to be the more enjoyable. Granted I only watched bits and pieces of The Tick so I probably haven't seen the best it has to offer. Still, Earthworm Jim is an underrated gem of children's television.
I bring this up because in one episode the villain Psy-Crow becomes a being of pure nervous energy by ingesting an octuple espresso shot, topped with a gallon of normal coffee. It grants him super speed, super vibration, and super skittishness. The episode even had a disclaimer put in for the kids about not taking that much coffee and what it would actually do to you. Also, it revealed that the secret to pure mellow energy is aroma therapy consisting of mangoes and oatmeal. Yeah, weird stuff.
