[[File:drinky_crow_600px.jpg|frame|[[Exactly What It Says
''[[The Drinky Crow Show]]'' is about...[[Exactly What It Says
Based on the comic strip ''Maakies'' by Tony Millionare, this series debuted "unofficially" on [[April Fools' Day]] 2008 on [[Adult Swim]], and later "officially" the following fall. It became popular with fans for its [[Refuge in Audacity|far-out humor]], but was [https://web.archive.org/web/20090614002846/http://www.maakies.com/archive/m748.html cancelled] after only one season.▼
▲''The Drinky Crow Show'' is about...[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|a crow that likes to drink]]. And Uncle Gabby, his monkey-ish friend who likes to bed as many women as he can. The two go off on adventures on a ship with a captain and his daughter, with whom the monkey-ish thing likes to sleep. All the while they're looking for Drinky Crow's love of his life, a mermaid, and fighting French crocodiles. Occasionally, they get tied up in various schemes in an effort to either drink alcohol, bed women, or simply shirk from their French-killing military obligations (or any form of responsibility, really).
Not to be confused with [[RWBY|another show]] with a Qrow who likes to drink.
