My first "unknown" pop culture reference

I don't remember ever not understanding any of the various pop culture references on FG, but the one this past weekend with the white thing and dinosaur kind of went over my head (even though it seems SO familiar to me). What was it from?

"Arthur Bang" scibed forth news:7T_Ae.6743$rF5.6575 @tornado.socal.rr.com:

The Herculoids. An old Hanna-Barbera adventure cartoon. The white thing was either Gloop or Gleep, two almost identical creatures. Gloop was larger than Gleep. They could stretch themselves into various shapes. The dinosaur was Tundro, who could shoot "energy rocks" from his horn. The other Herculoids were Zok, a flying dragon that could shoot lasers from it's eyes and tail, and Igoo, a giant stone ape. The Herculoids worked side by side with three humans. Zandor, his wife Tara and their son Dorno.

Thanks for the info. I dont think I ever saw the show, but it still looks very familiar.

What was the deal with the monkey in the closet?

They showed why the monkey BECAME evil, but not why it picked Chris' closet to be his home.

I think it has something to do with Seth Green. I accidentally caught the last part of one of those god-awful Robot Chicken(shit) things, and after the closing credits, I'm sure he said "stupid monkey". I seem to recall other references by Green about monkeys, but just can't place them right now. I know Chris has made other comments about monkeys, in particular, a monkey that's past its prime.

Ewww! Gleep juice...or is that Gloop?

I watched the episode with an entire room full of people with myself being the only person who had ever watched the Herculoids. They all looked lost and didn't understand why I was rolling on the ground, laughing. I think the fact that the reference was THAT obscure made it funnier to me.

Not as funny as the puke, but almost.
