A group of Funny Animal characters are watching an In-Universe Sci-fi Movie. A character in the movie was a veteran of a war and has a stowaway kid on his ship who he thinks is pointing a squirt gun at him. It turns out to be a taser. Anyways shenanigans happen; he and the kid end up bonding and leading a second rebellion. The main character appears to die in a suicide attack, but it turns out he faked his death and then steals a colony ship. The main general antagonist ends up laughing hysterically. He was an Anti-Villain and stands in marked contrast to the swan/goose empress who's a textbook example of God Save Us from the Queen!.
The characters are watching the movie and are seen in silhouette and end up snarkily commenting on it, in vain of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Edit: Found it, it's the rebel cry arc from Nip and Tuck
