How ‘bout them peaches? In the Season 4 finale (and the final episode of Samurai Jack’s original run on Cartoon Network), Jack saves a stranded baby and sets out to find its parents. The sound of the baby’s crying is drowned out by the sound of Nick and Brendan’s laughter at some of the most hilarious (and appalling) bits we’ve ever seen on this show. MOMOTARO!
