Shoyu Weenie


 * You may also be looking for Shoyu Weenie's inspiration, the Chan Clan.

"Shoyu Weenie" is the fifth episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season one. It aired on July 21, 2002 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Michael Ouweleer and Erik Richter, and directed by Ben Jones. The Hanna-Barbera series ridiculed in this episode is The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, and to a lesser extent Jabberjaw. The main cast of the former have now been reworked as an entirely Japanese-only speaking family known as the Mirimotos/Shoyu Weenie.

Behind the scenes

 * "Shoyu Weenie" is a play on "Show your weenie."
 * Aside from the Chan Clan being changed, Dr. Melody is also pastiche of Quinn Darien from the TV series Godzilla.

Errors

 * Some of the kids performing at Tokyo Stadium aren't the ones who traveled to America.
 * When Harvey blocks Reducto's laser, the sign of "The Bird Cage" changes the last word's position, so that instead of being underneath the second word, it's now next to it.
