Added DiffLines:

* AdaptedOut: In the original comics, every ''Kaput and Zosky'' story also included a one-page, dialogue-free comic called ''Cosmonaut'', detailing the adventures of a human astronaut encountering various aliens. The TV series does not include ''Cosmonaut'' shorts.
* AdaptationExpansion: A few episodes are directly adapted from stories in the original comics, just with new scenes and jokes added to pad out the timing.


Added DiffLines:

* NameAndName: The comics. The cartoon goes a step further by adding the title of "Ultimate Obliterators".


Added DiffLines:

* StrictlyFormula: Every story of both the comics and the cartoon follows a particular pattern. It always starts with Kaput and Zosky in their spaceship deciding their next conquest. Once they find a target, they land and soon afterwards learn of the particular schtick the planet has that they must deal with. Inevitably, Kaput and Zosky are forced to flee the planet when said schtick ultimately screws them over, and the episode ends with the duo arguing as they fly off to their next destination.

''Kaput and Zosky'' (''Kaput et Zosky'') is a French comic book series created by the prominent French cartoonist Creator/LewisTrondheim. The series follows the misadventures of the two eponymous aliens, the short, rotund, and trigger-happy Kaput and the tall, thin, and methodical Zosky. This bumbling duo are an aspiring pair of {{Galactic Conqueror}}s who travel across the universe in search of planets to enslave. And while they come across many strange planets and peoples in their conquests, Kaput and Zosky consistently find that they are never able to successfully take over any world they come across. If anything, most stories end with these two {{Villain Protagonist}}s being sent packing for the next planet in their dumpy, little rocket ship. Two albums were published compiling the adventures of these bungling wannabe tyrants.
