[edit] 1966 Space Ghost

Brak is a supervillian on the 1966 Hanna-Barbera cartoon Space Ghost, portrayed as a cat-like alien space pirate trying to conquer the galaxy. Brak and his brother Sisto appeared in the episodes "The Lure" and "The Looters", and in both of them Brak captures Space Ghost's sidekick Jan. They were also on the six-part Council of Doom episode. He was voiced by Keye Luke.

[edit] Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet

On the premiere episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1994, Brak and his brother Sisto were first shown as a parody of Beavis and Butt-Head. Brak eventually made more frequent appearances on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, often just yelling short phrases like "All hail Brak!!!" or "Hi my name is Brak!!", until the spin-off Cartoon Planet premiered on TBS in 1995 and his character developed more of a personality, as well as a vocabulary (to some extent). On an episode of Cartoon Planet, when responding to a viewer's letter, Brak revealed that the cause of his sudden stupidity was the after-effects of being thrown into a space dust cloud by Space Ghost at the end of one of the original shorts titled "The Lure." Cartoon Planet helped people understand the fact that Brak likes to sing, and his most popular song was about him loving beans. In his first appreance he was voiced by C. Martin Croker, and in all of his other apprences he was voiced by Andy Merrill.

[edit] The Brak Show

In 2000, Brak had two hour-long Sonny & Cher-style variety specials called Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak, which included celebrity guest stars and music numbers. In December 2000, The Brak Show premiered (unannounced at a very early hour in the morning), originally a parody of the sitcom Leave It To Beaver, where Brak plays a suburban pre-teen living with his mom and dad and was usually hanging out with his friend Zorak. In September 2001 The Brak Show premiered on Adult Swim, with different sitcom parody names for every episode of the first season (e.g. "Diff'rent Braks," "All in the Brak"). Cartoon Network's writeup for Brak explained: "This toothy, mask-wearing former pirate made his first TV appearance on 'Space Ghost.' It was during this adventure that Brak was irradiated by Pirranamyte, releasing him from the burden of intelligence. Now armed only with his meager wits and the love of a peppy tune, Brak happily entertains fans and annoys his co-stars with equal aplomb. He will continue to do so as long as he receives a steady diet of pineapple and processed meats. Brak is also friends with (Clarence). This version of Brak is more kid like and nice than any previous version of him. Brak's neighbor is a robot named Thundercleese. This Brak is somewhat simalar to the Cartoon Planet version of him, but much more information was told. He was voiced by Andy Merrill again. "^[1]
