Harvey Birdman: Attorney General is a 2018 television special based on the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law TV series, which ran from 2000-2007. It aired on October 15, 2018 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The main reason behind this special is to ridicule the concurrent running of the infamous American presidency of 45th Donald Trump.
The presumed deceased Harvey is back and living a new life of leisure from the hard work of being both attorney and superhero. But when his old boss, Phil, has suddenly become the most powerful man in the free world, he in turn becomes the Attorney General to take him down before he can cause any real harm to the country.
Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Phil: Peter Potamus. Phil Ken Sebben.
Potamus: Mr. President! What an honor!
Phil: Listen. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in bringing your brand of populist, shadily financed wisdom here to D.C., to join my administration?
Potamus: Can I still speak truth to power, except when truth becomes inconvenient to power?
Phil: You gotta impeach me!
Harvey: Eh...
Potamus: We're waiting.
Harvey: I'll... take the case?
