[edit] Summary

The Brothers Flub took place in a fictionalized version of outer space. The show's title referred to its two central characters: a pair of blue-colored alien brothers named Guapo and Fraz, who worked for a company called Retrograde Interdimensional, of which a green-colored female alien named Tarara Boomdeyay served as boss.[1][4][5] Throughout the series, the brothers served as couriers, traveling through their universe to deliver packages to and from various planets.[5][3]

Although the series only lasted one season, The Brothers Flub was used in several promotional deals for various brands, including Skechers, KFC and Macy's.[6]
