I loved the writeup on that video.
Best line:
Since the show had been cut short, the bewildered audience responded with clapping and cheering as each part of the Pelican was retrieved from the pool.

Okay, since no one is going to touch this one, I googled it. The characters were called Goons, and they were not from outer space, but from Goon Island.
The website below says that the word "goon" soon became part of the American lexicon.

They clearly do not. Besides Popeye's four already mentioned, Mickey has only two nephews.
Or maybe that's part of some comic-cosmic compensation system....

Cartoon characters always seem to reproduce by having nephews and nieces... Goofy and Max to one side...
