"Sebben and Sebben Employee Operation" is the tenth episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season three, and the thirty-first overall. It aired on October 16, 2005 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by series creators, Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter, produced by Evan W Adler, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. There isn't a Hanna-Barbera series ridiculed in this episode, it's just Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law poking fun at itself.

Sebben & Sebben gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the history of Sebben & Sebben with a specially produced employee orientation video from founder and president, Phil Ken Sebben.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Orient.

Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Potamus: Let us say you have a thing to send. Simply fill out this routing form by listing what you are sending to whom, the date you are sending it, the date you want it received, or gotten, and the weight of the thing are you sending. Then, place the item into one of these canisters. Under your desk, you will find an array of nozzles. Referring to your laminated color-coded map simply find the color of the area you want the thing sent to. Carefully, carefully open the tube and insert the canister. Make sure you have closed the nozzle door first. Inside the tube, your communique will reach speeds of up to 14,768 miles per hour. A model of speed and efficiency that guarantees that you will never again have to ask if someone has received the item, or more commonly, thing, that you have sent them.
