I had no luck finding it on Youtube, but back in the day, Cartoon Network used to run a hilarious commercial featuring Thundarr the Barbarian and Ookla the Mok. To the best of my recollection, it went a little somthing like this:
That will probably be a lot funnier to you if you are familiar with the characters. Here's Ookla:
Cheesy sax music plays in BG.
OOKLA: (indecipherable snarling)
THUNDARR: Ookla, I think you're very handsome.
OOKLA: (indecipherable snarling)
THUNDARR: No, really.
That will probably be a lot funnier to you if you are familiar with the characters. Here's Ookla:

That's not me making approving sounds of this post, it's for not coloring it. Haha but I digress. Kudos, old boy, for a well-done post, if for nothing else as a Thundarr reference. And you know well I remember the commercial.
Also, as an aside that's not so obscure, it is oft said Ookla was named for the sound that UCLA makes when spoken, thus making Ookla a fan of the Bruins. Or something like that. Anyways, it's the source /inspiration for his name. There's also a filk band named Ookla the Mok and a Jawaiian (Hawaiian reggae) band called Ookla the Moc.
More Thundarr, please. I'd like to know more about how our world was nearly destroyed in 1994 by a runaway planet. CLASSIC.
