I was watching Transformers Animated with my step son the other day, and found myself enjoying it.  At first I felt dirty (any way you cut it, the animation is worse than those horrid Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons), but I realized that the writing was actually pretty good.

We watched a second episode, and I found myself really liking a new character . . . Wreck-Gar!

Walking, talking trash! Who isn't Paris Hilton!

Now, I know who Wreck-Gar is, or rather, was.  He was on planet Junk in the original film.  Originally voiced by Eric Idle, he wasn’t so nice when we first met him.  

Ba weep granahg ni ni bom!

While I knew exactly who he was supposed to be, there was something about this version of Wreck-Gar that I was standing out more than I expected.  Then the following bit of dialogue came up:

Ratchet: “You wouldn’t dare!  That’d destroy the city!  Nobody’s THAT stupid!”

Wreck-Gar: “I Wreck-Gar DARE to be stupid!”

That’s right; Weird Al playing a Transformer, referencing one of his own songs that was playing in the background during the scene where his character is fighting in the original movie.  Follow all that?

I was laughing, but the kids just told me to shush so they could watch the show.
