#JIBBER JABBER TWINS SERIES#

His catchphrases are crying out ' Abba-abba-abba!' and ' Wowee-wow-wow-wow!' (or some variation, commonly featuring the word 'zowie') whenever he gets excited. Clamhead (voiced by Barry Gordon) – A tall and slim, red-haired young man who plays bass for The Neptunes and is Jabberjaw's best friend.Whenever she volunteers to help, she usually ends up messing it up. Shelly sometimes nicknames her ' Ding-a-Ling' or ' Bubblehead'. She is extremely ditzy and dimwitted, has a cute giggle, similar to Josie and the Pussycats' Melody. Bubbles (voiced by Julie McWhirter) – A young woman with blonde, curly hair who plays keyboard for The Neptunes.While she holds a great deal of disdain for Jabberjaw (or ' Blubberhead' as she calls him), she does have some grudging fondness for him deep down and occasionally shows it. She is attractive and intelligent, but haughty, vain and abrasive (like Josie and the Pussycats' Alexandra) and considers herself to be the star of the band. Shelly (voiced by Patricia Parris) – A dark-haired young woman who plays tambourine and sings backup vocals for The Neptunes.His main catchphrase is 'Jumpin' jellyfish!' (occasionally, 'Hoppin' halibut!') In many episodes, his hair is drawn black.

Biff (voiced by Tommy Cook) – An athletic, handsome, brown-haired young man who is the band's guitar player and level-headed leader who books all the gigs.

These robots, as well as unpleasant treatment from others, frequently prompt him to utter some variation of his catchphrase (borrowed from the comedian Rodney Dangerfield): ' I don't get no respect!' He has the unique ability to change his shape or adapt himself to act like various objects such as a trampoline, parachute, jack, throw rug, etc., either to get himself and the gang out of a jam, or just to hide. Jabberjaw found it hard to get respect in a society where 'shark ejectors' ( robots that would guard various buildings or cities from sharks entering) were commonplace. Jabberjaw (voiced by Frank Welker impersonating Curly Howard) – An air-breathing, Brooklyn-accented anthropomorphic great white shark.Counterclockwise: Jabberjaw (drums), Bubbles (keyboard), Biff (guitar), Shelly (tambourine) and Clamhead (bass). Every episode ended with a musical chase sequence where Jabberjaw and the gang would run from the villains, performing zany cartoon antics in order to escape while a song by The Neptunes played in the background. It also shared The Flintstones' penchant for making use of puns as the names of locations, people, etc., in this case, ocean-themed puns (such as 'Aqualaska' instead of Alaska). The show also drew inspiration (in the use of a shark as a character) from the overall shark mania of the mid-1970s caused by the then-recent film Jaws. Like a great deal of Hanna-Barbera's 1970s output, the format and writing for Jabberjaw was similar to that for Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats and Speed Buggy. Jabberjaw and The Neptunes travel to various underwater cities where they encounter and deal with assorted megalomaniacs and supervillains who want to conquer the undersea world. Jabberjaw, a 15-foot amphibious great white shark, is the drummer for The Neptunes, a rock group made up of four teenagers - Biff, Shelly, Bubbles and Clamhead - who live in an underwater civilization in the year 2076. Reruns continued on ABC until September 3, 1978.
