About 20 years ago, I saw a cartoon on TV. I only remember about a minute of it, but it has bugged me ever since. The art was almost like Don Bleuth cartoons. It was fairly vivid coloring, not like Looney Tunes' crayon-colored brightness, but was more of warm and cool tones, like Dragon's Lair.
It was something about space pirates. A woman is arguing with a tall and very lanky man, and a very short and pudgy man. The woman pushes the tall man into a broom closet (I suppose) and he grabs her by the arm and pulls her with him into the closet (or something similiar to that effect, I really don't remember the exact details). There are sounds of struggling, and she walks out, huffish. He comes out dejected-looking. The short guy asks him, "So what happened?". The tall guy responds, "She flipped me off".
Embarrassed, and afraid my family might see that, I switched channels. But I was always curious as to what it was. Anyone have any clues as to what this might be?

No, it wasn't a series, but rather, a movie. From the 80's cartoon list, I recognize all (either by having watched it, or know of it in passing) but a couple of them. All of those on that list, AFAIK, would be akin to TV-G.
Mayhaps, would this scene have been from Heavy Metal? I had never seen it (although I'd like to). I mean, you'd never hear a reference to flipping someone off on Scooby Doo or Voltron... but sounds rather appropriate for Heavy Metal (or other similiar cartoons/anime).

Having done some searching, although the art of Heavy Metal is like what I remember, I happened across its script, and there's no references to flipping someone off. *sigh*

Not sure, since there were a lot of cartoons back then. I grew up in that decade, but didn't get to watch many cartoons. Try this site.

Sounds like one of the stories from Heavy Metal. Harold Ramus was one of the voices of the pirates, or whatever they were.
Lots of weird prime time toon specials in those days. Nelvana made a bunch...
