The Ripping Friends is a cartoon which centers around a group of four superhuman friends who attempt to fight crime: Crag, Rip, Slab, and Chunk, Crag being the leader. Friends of the four include Jimmy The Hapless Idiot Boy, a mentally-challenged drooling child, and their foster mother He-Mom (The name speaks for itself). The villains the group faces are questionable: from a wad of gum who sucks moisture out of people to an invertebrate in search of a spine to facing their own underpants.
The first season of show aired on FOX Network and was then cancelled. Cartoon Network later picked up the show for its Adult Swim programming block.
The superheroes' favorite breakfast cereal is Sugar Lumps .
