History WesternAnimation / MadJackThePirate

* InstantAIJustAddWater: A far more literal example than most: not enjoying his birthday celebration at a SuckECheeses, Jack decides to take his frustrations out by pouring water into one of the animatronics, causing it to short out, gain sentience, and become and obsessed killing machine.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Flash Dashing is able to turn Jack's sword into splinters by waving it around because of RuleOfFunny

* UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy: A parodic take on the subject.

* The Dung Ages:In a unknown episode Jack and Snuck visited a very poor village who worshipped an animal and rubbed its droppings on their clothing.

* RuleOfFunny: This show is from the makers of ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' and ''WesternAnimation/Toonsylvania''. Most of everything in this show runs on this rule.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One of the biggest offenders yet seen in the twilight years of Saturday morning cartoons. Case in point, one scene involves a [[DirtyOldMan magician]] who is tempted by Snuk, who by the way is dressed as a [[FanDisservice temptress belly-dancer]], grabbing his sock, sniffing it, and smiling.
** This chunk from episode 2:
--> ''(fade to reality from hallucination; unconscious Jack puckers at Snuck; Snuck applies CPR)''\\
''(Jack grabs Snuck and kisses him deeply before realizing he's done so and doing the obligatory tongue wipe)''\\
'''Snuck:''' ''*blushes, smitten*'' "Oooh, that's lovely, Cap'n. Tell me again about our love enduring."
--> '''Jack:''' ''*panics and looks about wildly*'' "Did anyone see that?!"
--> '''Snuck:''' ''*puts arm around Jack*'' "No, I don't think so. Uh, shall we wait until someone walks by?"
** What really pushes it is the fact that Mad Jack [[DrivenToSuicide intentionally hit his head and tried to drown himself to get out of paying the rent on the boat]].
** In "Happy Birthday to Who," Mad Jack thinks Snuk is taking him to a place called "Demon Dan's Den of Iniquity" (which is heavily implied to be a strip club or, at the very least, a burlesque house[[note]]since that is what a "den of iniquity" can best be described as[[/note]]), but Snuk doesn't understand the appeal of seeing beautiful women dancing and writhing about on a stage (to which Mad Jack replies to the audience, "Boy, this really is a kids' show, isn't it?")

* TheDeathOfDeath: In "Of Zerzin, Fleebis, Queues and Cures", Mad Jack and Snuk are on a quest to find a cure for Mad Jack before he succumbs to Fleebis, and will be claimed by Mr. Death. They succeed just in time, and to get back at Mr. Death, they trick him into eating poisonous berries, killing him (which even Mr. Death himself thought was impossible).

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the early episodes, Jack seemed to have an entire crew of pirates, including an anthropomorphic crow who manned the crow's nest. Later episodes show that the captain and Snuk are the only two aboard the whole ship. What happened to his men? Died? Deserted?

Produced by Creator/SabanEntertainment, written by Bill Kopp of ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' and directed by Jeff [=DeGrandis=], fresh off their run on ''WesternAnimation/{{Toonsylvania}}''. Aired on Creator/FoxKids, was canceled after a short run, and now can't really be found in reruns, as there are no [=DVD=]s (except for Romania.... strange, isn't it?) available but YouTube DOES show episodes (and in English too).

** Well, when Mad Jack escaped from the witches he did state he planned to kill his crew for abandoning him. [[FridgeHorror Maybe he followed up on his threat....]]

* ShoutOut: There are many celebrity caricatures, a few cultural gags, and one island is even called the "[[ILoveLucy Isle of Lucy]]".

AnimatedSeries about a luckless pirate and his anthropomorphic rat sidekick, Snuk. A wildly selfish jerk, Jack would probably be unsympathetic if not for the fact that he is absolutely the universe's ButtMonkey. Imagine Creator/BruceCampbell playing Series/BlackAdder, but as a SaturdayMorningCartoon, and you'll have an idea of what it's like.
