Samurai Jack Made The Best Comeback In Fictional History. Period.

“*Thirteen* years. Waits up, still sleep, wake-up, Girl gone, break-up, mind right, cake up, Friends came, friends left, Bullshit is endless”- Joe Budden *Beat comes in* Yeah. Turn the caps up. Turn me up in the cap locks. Okay. Yeah. Ha-Haaaaaa. Cartoon Network you crazy for this one! Adult Swim I see you. All the way at the deep end baby, what up. Ayo, T.O.M. Toonami!

Ya man let Naruto eat. Ya man let all incarnations of Teen Titans Go eat. Jack even allowed shows on different networks to eat like Gravity Falls on Disney. Jack sat back and watched the next generation flourish, He allowed Steven Universe to teach yall muh fuckas ’bout this “Love is love is love” life. Jack fucks with Adventure Time messages and swords play. Jack cosigned every season of Young Justice.
