This made me guffaw so loud! The old Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network animated series of the 90s were GOLD! I think this was from Dexter’s Laboratory Justice Friends episodes.

It's from the Dial M for Monkey, but it does crossover/in the same in-universe universe with the Justice Friends.
I have a strong hunch that Barbequor was probably the reason why many think Galactus literally "chomps" planets he consumes.

Fun fact - this episode was pulled from reruns after it aired and isn’t on the dvds, apparently it’s unclear if it was legsl threats from Marvel or the Silver Surfer being too effeminate for the 90s. Either way I absolutely loved this episode as a kid, up there with the kaiju one for sure.

IDK sometimes the name change gives the character a fresh vibe. Plus, not everyone's into comics from the 70s and 80s; gotta keep the new audience hooked.

Remind me again, why was this episode from *"Dial M For Monkey"* banned?!
> In 1997, the episode Dial M for Monkey: Barequor was banned from airing in America, Canada, Latin America and the United Kingdom due to Spooner being considered a stereotype of gay men and being parodied on Silver Surfer without Marvel Entertainment Group's permission and Krunk getting drunk at the end. The full episode remained banned until 1999 when it returned to circulation but with the Monkey episode replaced with the episode: "Dexter's Lab: A Story".
