PSEUDO-SPAM (but not really): One word conlangs in "The Tick"

I don't know if it's reached Europe yet, so for those of you on the
other side of the ocean who may not know what it is, The Tick is a very
strange superhero cartoon on TV.

There was an episode once where the Tick and Arthur (his sidekick) are
abducted by aliens in order to save the universe from *another* set of
aliens. These two sets of aliens are called the "Heys" and the "Whats",
after the way they speak.

Heys:
"Hey hey hey! Hey! Hey hey!"

Whats:
"What? What what what? What what? What?"

The Heys are the ones trying to destroy the universe.

While this is, in fact, a pointless message, I thought some listmembers
might be interested.
