Kaput and Zösky

Kaput and Zösky are the heroes of the French cartoon Kaput and Zösky: Ultimate Obliterators, as well as the comic book from the French cartoonist Lewis Trondheim upon which the cartoon was based. Bloodthirsty conquerors, Kaput and Zösky travel the universe, landing on planets and trying to conquer them. They are not the most able tyrants, however, and have trouble holding any planet for more than a few days, if they can even manage to dominate it in the first place. In fact, they spend as much time running for their lives as they do enslaving and slaughtering innocents. Kaput and Zösky are a dynamic, if generic, duo. Zösky is a cunning, level-headed pseudo-intellectual who always has a plan. Kaput, on the other hand, is short-tempered and volatile; his strategies always involve "crisperizing" everything in sight.

Many of their exploits have been converted into the little known French cartoon that runs on weekends and late at night on the Nicktoons channel and the lesser known Teletoons channel. These exploits almost always end in the same way for the two space tyrants; the two barely escape from their fates by flying off in their dumpy little spaceship, leaving a red smoke trail behind.

Some of these exploits include, but are not limited to;

• their visit to the planet Mudhole, which was ruled by a ghost king who was able to control inanimate objects. During their trip, they managed to build two giant fighting robots in their likeness, to better take over the planet.

• their hostile (and quite successful) takeover of the luxury space liner Gigantic, an evident parody of the real life ship, the Titanic, but the takeover resulted in the two leaving before the ship would sink into a water planet, leaving the dynamic duo driving off quickly, Zösky claiming that it reminded him of "a really bad movie" that he saw.

• Their crash landing on planet H2O, where through a special sort of water, which allowed the invaders to breathe under the waves, Kaput had almost ended up marrying a huge, repulsive squid-like creature who happened to be the queen of the planet.

• Their conquest of the planet Hohoba, where they encountered a race of creatures with the ability to reproduce in the form of their leader solely by regurgitating an egg, but the two tyrants left hurriedly running off when the natives reproduced in the forms of Kaput and Zösky themselves and thus the natives attempted to kill the originals off.

• and their attempt of takeover of planet Gooston, ruled by a race of goose-like creatures. The takeover involved a series of Olympic-esque games, for the pursuit of the crown and leadership of planet Gooston.

Of course, many of the exploits happen to end up a failure, and the two rogues end up usually destorying a world order, and causing quite a bit of chaos.
