Meet the Beat Alls.

 The Powerpuff Girls was a popular show on Cartoon Network about a trio of super-powered children, Blossom (Cathy Cavadi), Buttercup (E. G. Daily) and Bubbles (Tara Strong).  The trio were created by the kindly Professor Utonium (Tom Kane) and charged with protecting the city of Townsville.  (But not the town of Cityville; that's somewhere else.)  But we're not looking at the entire series, we're looking at one episode, which places the villains front and center.  So let's "Meet the Beat Alls."

 

 Mojo Jojo (Roger L. Jackson) is an angry simian, frustrated by his repeated failure to defeat the Powerpuff Girls.  He's not the only one; fashion-forward eldritch horror Him (also Tom Kane), bratty "Little Orphan Annie" knock-off Princess (Jennifer Hale), and strong but not silent Fuzzy Lumpkin (Jim Cummings) all want to defeat the Girls as well, and they all pick the same night to attack Professor Utonium's house.  The villains argue, but when the girls fly out to tell them to be quiet they attack, and by working together they manage to . . . win?  So a new supervillain group is formed.

The Beat Alls set out on a crime spree, and they just keep winning; the four of them combined are all too much for the Powerpuff Girls to handle, and the girls finally stop fighting and let them keep at it.  The Townsville police are also helpless, and it looks like nothing can stop the Beat Alls.

 

And then she appears.  Moko Jono, a chimpanzee performance criminal.  Mojo is immediately smitten, and forces the group to participate in Moko's "conceptual crimes," leading to tension in the group and an eventual bitter breakup.

 

The entire episode is a solid wall of Beatles-related puns, quotes, and sight gags, and it is delightful.   

 

And then there's the Moko Jono thing.  For the record, Yoko Ono is not responsible for breaking up the Beatles.  The Fab Four were grown men, evolving in wildly different directions creatively, and they did not need a femme fatale to give them a push.  I suppose it's fitting that a cartoon should riff on the most cartoonish version of the end of the band, but but on the other hand, the Beat Alls aren't actually the Beatles, and the criminal band breaking up is not such a bad thing.  Also Moko Jono isn't what she seems, and is there mostly to set up a shaggy dog joke with a great punchline that I'm not going to spoil. 

 

This is a very silly episode of a silly show. But there's a real affection for the band there, mixed in with all the ribbing.
