Crazy Psychedelic Extravaganza About Gay Whales, Alien Mantises and Strippers

[lapisconnection · 10/10 · 26 May 2019]

Episode nine, 'The Invasion', which is the final episode of season one of the adult cartoon 'The Jellies' is about a black boy, Cornell, voiced by Phil LaMarr who you may know as the voice of Samurai Jack or as Melvin whose brains are cleaned up out of a car in Pulp Fiction, that is adopted by a pair of jellyfish. Cornell meets his biological parents, but they are alien mantises that turn people into sandwiches and eat them so he enlists the help of his friends and a stripper named Chocolate to uncover the secret to killing the mantises by bringing Prince back from the dead with a below-the-belt kiss that turns him and The New Power Generation into poison dart frogs that destroy the aliens. There are a few more plot twists and turns in this 46-minute episode that I may be leaving out such as the gay shirtless whale Mervin running against the current mayor who later turns out to be an alien mantis. Also, the stripper Chocolate turns out to be Cornell's dad, but had a sex change operation to hide from the aliens after they discovered that he was researching their plot to conquer Earth. This show is the brainchild of Tyler, The Creator and also co-stars Blake Anderson of Workaholics as the voice of Cornel's adopted father Barry Jelly and various other voices.
