H 2 Bros is an action/adventure cartoon based a pair of closely aged brothers and their military issue jet skis. Cliff and Sandy Waves, two wholesome youths attending Laiphsa Beach High School never fail to have their lessons interrupted by their unambiguous wrist radios. Cliff is the pinnacle of athletic prowess for a boy his age and as captain of the volleyball team (and head lifeguard at LBHS) he has some trouble keeping the beach bunnies at bay. Sandy impresses his teachers with his affinity for marine biology--when he is not keeping a lid on his brother's cavalier tendencies. Together, their shared talents have attracted the interest of the United States government. The boys are employed in a fully-funded Special Forces unit that allows them to use jet skis to battle the nation's adversaries...while getting some sun in the meantime.
In particular there is one troublesome fugitive the unit has in its sights: Dr. Shelby Kraken, a crab-like hominid with an irascible temperament and genius IQ. Stationed just a mile or so off the coast of Laiphsa Beach, Dr. Kraken employs sea-dwelling minions to wreak havoc on things of ocean related importance. For example, after trident-wielding crustaceans topple some choice oil tankers, they bind and gag the shipmen to grab the attention of national media. Expect lots of clam/shell/crab puns from these guys.
But in no time, the boys are pulling tricks and kicking ass on their jet skis. Without the use of conventional weapons, the boys use the jet skis to nose dive onto and sideswipe their opponents. From time to time they may also resort to light underwater grappling. It is also not unlikely to see Cliff spiking an oversized volleyball into a gang of foes while his brother patiently disarms some organically oriented sort of explosive. And don't think these guys aren't switching jet skis in mid-jump and everything! The moment of real tension occurs when their mounts run out of gas and they are left to tread water with the enemy drawing near. Though sure enough, a benevolent team of dolphins will come charging in for a timely rescue. Each sea-based challenge the boys encounter requires both brains and brawn to overcome, a fact that often alleviates any doubts about any single brother's importance to the team.
Oh barnacles! The boys' science teacher is onto something: why must they always dart out of class like that?!? Unfortunately, Cliff is the type who is always just about to spill the beans on their secret operation. It is always a clever Sandy who tactfully showers the teacher with compliments to make him forget about the their truant behavior. We may even see something like a small mollusk popping out of Cliff's pant leg as the two walk away from their admonishing, leaving a quizzical look on the teacher's face. Expect to hear lots of beach lingo and platitudes about the importance of maintaining the environment. The show eventually caves in under its own obnoxiousness, even creating distaste in its niche viewership.
