Trivia:

Brak's father was never originally intended to be so short. An error was made when compositing a scene and Dad's file was made too small in comparison to everything else. Nevertheless, it was such a hilarious mistake that they left him they way he was.

Quotes:

Brak:Last time I was this happy, I was face down in a pizza pie, eatin' my way to freedom!

The characters, the dialouge, and the mishaps... Genius

BEWARE: This show is addicting! The Brak show can be best described as an intelligent use of ingenious characters. Zorak, the evil Mantis and best friend. Thunderclease, built for War and still the kindhearted neighbor. And Brak as the absurd entertainer of the show with his idiotic day-to-day adventures and often outbursts of song and insanity. What makes this show what it is (Brilliant) is the dialogue exchanged. Mostly one-liners, the writers keep you entertained way past the simple format of the show. I recommend "Diff'rent Braks: The Time Machine." I hope it fills your day with joy. rpr
