Astroblast! is an American Adobe Flash-animated Preschool Show by Soup2Nuts, that begun airing on PBS Kids Sprout in July 2014. It is based on a book series by Bob Kolar. It focuses around a crew of Funny Animals who run an intergalactic smoothie café called the Frosty Star, and the problems that often arise among them. Comet, the leader, is an easily excitable dog. Halley is a pink rabbit who makes high-speed deliveries. Sputnik, a pig, tends to get overly passionate about things. Radar, a monkey, is well-meaning but usually lazy. Jet, an alligator, speaks entirely through movement. And Sal, the level-headed one, is a three-eyed octopus who usually has friendly advice.
Not to be confused with the Atari 2600 game of the same name.
Astroblast! contains examples of:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: When Sputnik tried to modernize the Frosty Star in one episode, chaos ensued. Among other problems, they couldn't even prepare ingredients without being chased down by an army of cleaning droids.
- Batman Can Breathe in Space: Notably, Halley makes her deliveries on an intergalactic surfboard.
- Big "NO!": Comet does one of these at the end of Smoothie Operator. He also does this earlier.
- Companion Cube: Several one-off ones pop up time to time; among them, Sputnik's Zorkian Peach plant "Zorky".
- Funny Animal: The main cast.

- Sputnik (a pig) snorts sometimes when she laughs.
- Radar swings on objects like real-life monkeys do.
