The 2000 Cartoon Network series Sheep In The Big City contained a commercial for a "brain burning" shrimp-based soda called Shrimpola Cola. The mascots for the new drink were a duo of Beastie Boys shrimp, singing a catchy rap jingle. I made one of the Shrimps out of shells, shark teeth, and rocks found on the beaches of Venice, Florida.
I did not catch Sheep In The Big City when it originally aired, but I stumbled across the Shrimpola Cola commercial on YouTube and fell in love with it. I really admire the graphic style of the Sheep series, created by Mo Willems. I'm especially impressed that he created shrimp characters that actually look like the Beastie Boys.
