Space Dandy 2nd Season

Dandy receives a letter from "A Rare Alien" after arbitrarily disbanding the crew following an argument over which song an alien was playing on his guitar. Thinking the sender is a beautiful alien chick, he takes the Little Aloha to investigate, and flies all the way to a planet surrounded by a "River of Time." QT and Meow follow Dandy to the planet in the Aloha Oe when they find out he won the "Mr. Misunderstanding Grand Prix" contest they entered him in on a whim, but need him to claim the prize in person. However, they are soon turned into smiling statues by the Ukuleleman on the planet. When Dandy finds out what happened, he carries his two friends into the River of Time to change them back before they were transformed into statues. Dr. Gel tries to pursue Dandy but is knocked into the River of Time by a large submarine shortly before meeting his own mother. The Ukeleleman tries to use the River of Time to pull out a smiling version of Dandy while eliminating the present version, but the current Dandy punches the Ukeleleman, shattering his mask. As the Ukeleleman is consumed by flames, he laments that a smile wouldn't look good on him, but Dandy tells him that he's smiling right then, shortly before acquiring his ukelele. (Source: Wikipedia)
