Space Ghost Coast to Coast — Season Four

Gallagher is the second episode of the fourth season of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and is the thirty-fifth episode overall.

Guest Stars: Bob Odenkirk (Himself), David Cross (Himself)

Voices: George Lowe (Space Ghost), C. Martin Croker (Moltar/Zorak), Don Kennedy (Tansit)

Plot Overview

The first half of the episode revolves around the interview with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. The topics of the interview are typical for a Space Ghost episode and include talking about super-powers and being clowns before Space Ghost gets all hostile and starts blasting Bob, who gets addicted to being shot at by Space Ghost. The transmission is broken when Space Ghost tries to make them laugh by falling down while carrying scissors.

After the break, Space Ghost unveils a brand new segment to the show, the "Space Time Quiz Fun 9000." In the game show, Bob, David and Zorak must answer questions or else be blasted by Space Ghost. If they get the questions right they get... blasted by Space Ghost. The rest of the interview is spent blasting everyone on the set (including David, who doesn't want to be shot by Space Ghost's power bands). Of course, nobody wins at Space Time Quiz Fun 9000, unless you count Bob who apparently gets off on getting zapped.

Trivia

Allusions and References

• Jägermeister: Jägermeister is a German liqueur which is made using liquorish and a secret recipe of herbs. The drink is notoriously strong, with a proof of 70. Although they were proven to be untrue, the alcoholic beverage was at the center of several speculative urban legends that claimed that it was made using deer blood (because the name means "master hunter") or opium.

Memorable Moments

• Bob Odenkirk gets addicted to being shot by Space Ghost's power bands.

Quotes

• David Cross: I have the power to tell when people are in trouble, very far away, up to, like, twenty miles away. But I don't have any other powers, so I have to run, or get a cab, or...
  Bob Odenkirk: Or just feel bad.

• Zorak: Do it again!
  Moltar: (laughs) Yeah! And this time, run across the floor with some scissors!
  Zorak: Yeah, yeah! And, and put a bunch of pencils in your mouth.
  Space Ghost: I don't know... Sounds kinda dangerous.
  Zorak: You think it would be, but it's not.
  David Cross: You know my motto, "If it hurts, do it."
  Space Ghost: Uh, okay. Zorak, help me up. Moltar, bring the scissors out here.
