He's brash, he's bold, and he takes no prisoners,
except for Moltar and zorak.

Hi. I'm David Caldwell.
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
Welcome to ghost planet industries-- gateway to humor for literally hundreds
of television viewers.
For literally hundreds of television viewers.
It all starts with the Space Ghost from coast to coast writers.
Here they are hard at work, fine-tuning a script for an upcoming episode.
We'd better leave them to their work.
They've got more comedy to write.
Each of the jokes written by the comedy writing team are factory tested in
a g.P.I. Research laboratory using randomly selected focus group viewers.
That's not my hand.
It's my pincer.
Ooh, that line needs a little reworking.
That's not my hand.
It's my butt.
That's not my hand.
It's my butt.
It looks like we've got a winner.
We'll take a closer look it looks like we've got a winner.
We'll take a closer look at the making of Space Ghost from coast
to coast in a moment, but first...
It's a brand-new world.
Everything you wear... The sneakers on your feet--branded,
the hat on your head-- branded.
How about the coffee you drink?
All branded.
It's time for me and you to learn a little bit about branding.
Space Ghost, do you mean branding with a hot iron?
Ha ha ha.
No, Moltar.
Not t type of branding.
Then tell us, Space Ghost, what's branding?
Here. Let me explain.
Let's say you have a rowboat, a cow, and the big man.
You mean Clarence clemons?
Of course.
Now, the cow wants to transport Clarence across the river, but remember,
the cow is on fire and Clarence has no hands or bucket, so he has
to utilize his hooks and the mighty power of his saxophone.
Space Ghost is talking about the 3 rs-- reliability, ratings, and delivery.
Reliability, ratings, and delivery.
Let's start with "r" number one...
Based on our analysis of relative price value factors,
subjective hosted-product placement decisions versus generic yield
acceptability, versus generic yield acceptability,
our directly-linked-to-network programming identity, and the investment
in demographic-icon synergisticality.
It's that simple and that hard.
Let's look at "r" number 2.
What's the real power of me?
Space Ghost is talking about the... Remember, power is not a dirty word.
Remember, power is not a dirty word.
In a moment, we'll take a closer look at Space Ghost
as a feature benefit model.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
But first, this...
An integral element of the success that is Space Ghost
from coast to coast is the remarkable celebrity interviews.
Here's a sneak peek at an upcoming interview with the one and only
Tony Bennett.
Greetings... Now let's join Space Ghost now let's join Space Ghost
and the star of carpool and big bul tom Arnold.
And the star of carpool and big bul tom Arnold.
Actually, that second show was called tom.
This show is called the tom show , which is different than that
because I think it's easier to find in the tv guide.
You should call it tommy.
I thought of that.
My grandma thought of that, but, you know-- how about
tom tom the tom?
What was that again, tom tom the tom?
No. Tom tom the tom tom...
Tom.
That's--that's good.
I mean... That's-- that's--that's ok.
Hey! Moltar, put your pants on and direct the show!
Get lost, man!
Let's stop here.
We don't want to give too much away.
Now let's listen as Space Ghost tells us about some of his upcoming guests.
Rap group afro-plane, female Kathy Kinney, Ginny, the dog who saves cats,
dinner & a movie hosts Paul and Annabelle... Oh, hey there.
How you doing, Space Ghost?
From the pop group they might be giants-- John flansburgh, and special
surprise guest, William, the king of imagination.
William, the king of imagination.
My name is William.
I am the king of imagination.
I am a modern wizard in training.
Sporting goods... Tennis, anyone?
Psychic advisor... Only I can see your future.
I've been there.
Dermatological creams and jellies... Wow! Look out, girls.
Wow! Look out, girls.
Who can turn the world on with a smile?
Space Ghost.
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
You know who.
That's right.
And you, too, can take advantage of this manly lantern-like jaw.
I mean, look at it.
Huh? There you go.
Just think of how exciting your next corporate retreat will be just think of
how exciting your next corporate retreat will be with a special appearance
by the man himself.
Space Ghost.
Here's a sample.
Greetings, heating and cooling fixtures executives of America.
Climate control.
Am I right?
But that's not all.
Space Ghost can also take care of all your landscaping needs,
home or office.
Home or office.
Dying out here. Can I get a glass of water?
Imagine the envy of your business competitors... Oh, my cape! Aah!
When they see Space Ghost bush-hogging your shrubbery.
You're still not convinced?
For a limited time only, if you take advantage of the power
of the Space Ghost, you'll receive this deluxe canister set.
Think of it, a dashing superhero and a deluxe canister set.
Available this calendar year.
And also, this shiny object.
You heard right.
A dashing superhero, a deluxe canister set, and a shiny object, all in one
out-of-this-world package.
Ooh, and, hey, look at this.
Ow! How does he do that?
I wonder.
Now look over here.
Zorak is in the recording studio about to record those funny lines
that the writers were writing earlier.
Let's listen.
That's not my hand.
It's your butt.
No, no, no. "My butt."
Well, that's what I'm saying, "it's your butt."
No, it's not "your butt."
"My butt."
That's what I just said, "your butt."
"My butt"!
So...Your butt.
Just do the line.
From there, the tapes are put in a magic closet where they will sit
for 3 magical days.
After this magical waiting period, after this magical waiting period,
the tapes are then put somewhere, but that's not important.
What's important is that Space Ghost is your ticket
to a solid financial future.
Your opportunity is unlimited.
Fermez la bouche.
Ha ha ha.
What does that mean?
It means shut your mouth.
But I'm not even on your planet.
Who are you?
As you can plainly see, life on the ghost planet is really fun,
as you can plainly see, life on the ghost planet is really fun,
and you can be a part of that fun.
Let's take a closer look.
Oh, ho, yeah.

It's good stuff.

your endorsement selections, please let the Space Ghost be a part of
the future of you.
Why?

Ha ha. Heck, I don't know.
But this is one crazy show.
And I'm dick dickenbach.
