So it's essentially a circular narrative. Speed Racer is assigned by Interpol to track down a mysterious, maniacal racecar driver who's been going on a killing spree. Speed takes his usual tough on crime approach; hitting the streets and embedding himself in major syndicates. Meanwhile, his father's company is buckling under the pressure to build ever faster cars, and Speed's recent activities aren't helping the situation. The company eventually fails, and Speed, strung out from chronic stress, goes totally over the edge. Only then does he realize that the madman he had been looking for so desperately, was himself.
I didn't know Speed Racer was even a thing till the internet lol. Because I don't remember any channels like Nickelodeon, or CN showing reruns of Speed Racer back in the 90's or probably 00s here in the USA.
Nick aired the 90s remake of it back in the late 90s, and nick and nicktoons aired the spin off series in the 2000s. Aside from like Comcast video on demand and streaming sites later on, the only other channels that aired the 60's Speed Racer anime in the 2000s was TV Land and Cartoon Network during their Adult Swim time around 4 or 5am (they also aired Betty boop and the 60's Astro boy around that time). Oh yeah, and Crunchyroll used to have it too.
When MTV started airing Speed Racer late at nights around 1992 or so, it was an unexpercted hit... and then suddenly, other channels started airing it it, and then there was a SNES video game, VHS tapes, action figures and toys, a reboot series... and for this cartoon show that had been almost entirely off the air since 1968 and hasn't even been in reruns in years!
He not only wanted to break the speed record... but he really wanted a seven layer chocolate cake. Also, apparently 60s-70s "Ah-quaman" is Speed Racer's greatest weakness.
I've got the entire original show as a DVD set in a Mach 5 tin and I love this. This is basically your regular speed racer episode. It's so well done, absolutely incredible.
God the part when he was boasting how good his assassin drivers were whilst showing them all carelessly crashing had me in tears. Thank you for this masterpiece sir.
Speed Racer has gotten a bit of a bad rap through the years, but in the same way that Johnny Quest has. It was not originally intended as a children's cartoon. Like Johnny Quest, it was created for adults, but with Speed Racer it was meant for the adult Japanese market in the 1960's. But it ended up being shown to American children in the early 1970's which meant it often didn't translate very well.
@@paulnicholson5997 that was some awesome editing done in this clip😉 I can't remember if that was a pile of dust, or salt or something else. But when he edited it in with the shot of opening the trunk immediately before it sure gave you that impression
I was one of those 70's kids who watched this, I was very young and thought Speed was adorable. Now I see this and wonder if he was a drag queen! Scarf, eyelashes?? You're edits are really great fun!
@@azvascos7542 I grew up watching this show also. The Mach 5 has got to be one of the all time great fictional cars ever, with all the gadgets on it. Don't forget about the episode with the "evil" Mach 5 that had little wing and could fly. I've got lots of those episodes on DVD and their still a trip.
That was great. So weird and yet it captured the feel of any random episode of Speed Racer. I used to watch it as a kid in the 60s and it seemed weird even then.
That plot twist at the end was more insane than the plot twist at the end of the original Halloween in 1978 starring Donald Pleasence (who played Blofeld in You Only Live Twice) and Jamie Lee Curtis (in her film debut).
Imagine what this must have been like for an American viewer in the late 60's when the only other pieces of Japanese animation most people in the US had even heard of were Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) and Gigantor (Tetsujin 28-go).
The fact I was just watching the other Speed Racer video from you mere minutes ago! Your content is amazing though. This is just really a masterpiece. And the amount of effort you've put into this, *this art of a video is your best yet!*
3:00 is Speed freaking out so much at Aquaman because Speed has become hydrophobic? 7:35 good GOD. Those "further proof Speed Racer is a sociopath" videos have nothing on _"Gotcha, BITCH!"_
My Speed Racer lunch box was used to knock out playground bullies with a skillful throw. It never failed to return to hand. The thermos enabled its boomerang recovery action. Usually filled with tang.
Oh nostalgia, this is one of the cartoons I will not miss. Horrible quality even for the time I was watching them. They encouraged fathers to speed up their cars on the way to school... ending up their lives too quickly.
This was a little confusing/long at points but all the major beats hit and the ending brought it all together I didn't know I was going to walk across art today
This is pretty accurate. I used to watch the show, and this was pretty much every episode, minus every like 5 min the kid and Chim Chim are hiding in the trunk.
@@AdventuresOfSly Oh my goodness did they! Did anyone ever do a counter to show just how overused that gag was, while also showing how many episodes were there?
@@AdventuresOfSly one thing I really appreciated the most about is that you created an actual believable storyline for him that actually still pays respects to the source material. The red haring is that he’s possessed by the demon, but the truth is that’s who he really is. Speed a relentless Demon who is obsessed with winning, and indulging on his which I’m sure is top of the line Sugar. Anyone who dares cross his path or prevent him from his daily activities is doomed to suffer the consequences.
Considering how often guns and drugs appeared in the original series, I wouldn't have realized this was a parody until I realized the music playing over wasn't original.
I remember back in the early 2000 when I was a little kid, there was a marathon of the old _Speed Racer_ ... it was the first time I saw a woman die in a cartoon, it was my first stept towards joining the MRA 😂😂😂 stupid edgy jokes aside, Speed Racer is great and I loved the video
So the moral of this story is that you can do great things with hard work, perseverence and determination. And if all that fails, just become a mad, cheating bastard and you'll get there much more quickly.
I was born in 1986, so Speed Racer already existed, but I think even as a kid I knew the English dub was terrible. Did they speak so damned fast to try to match the lip movements? The fast talking was parodied in other animation for years and years. Still not sure if the anime itself was just terrible as well, or if it was the dub making it that way. We've come a long, long way in dubbing anime into English.
The people who dubbed this did a lot of work on just about everything animated Japanese that came to the US in the 60s...it was also edited for our market to tone down some of the violence. I'd love to see these in the original Japanese market version with good quality subtitles...

This is a beautiful summary of events 🥲
@@AdventuresOfSly You make great videos and your comedy is on point brotha
the real criminals were the protagonists we watched along the way
Wow. Go off.
I can't imagine the amount of hours you put into this.
It may be your best work yet.
Thank you. Alot of the clips were like needles in haystacks to find
Not having seen the original series makes this all the more confusing
It's exactly what'd you'd think, a crime/spy thriller.
This is Japanese animation,around 40~50years ago. Only lunchbox is Japanese food,rice balls.
I didn't know Speed Racer was even a thing till the internet lol. Because I don't remember any channels like Nickelodeon, or CN showing reruns of Speed Racer back in the 90's or probably 00s here in the USA.
Speed Racer, Japanese original title is Mash GOGOGO. Around 40-50 years ago it was published. Maybe the right of using is complicated.

Thank you man! Glad you can enjoy
God the part when he was boasting how good his assassin drivers were whilst showing them all carelessly crashing had me in tears. Thank you for this masterpiece sir.
I love how the title just sounds like how they say the next episode of speed racer thing, speed said in an excited voice then racer just lowercase.
I love how this parody accurately depicts Speed's brother in canon but because its a show about Speed this is what we have
This changed my life.
You have great taste, Speed Racer series is phenomenal!
There are no words to convey how amazing this is... I'm in awe.
This was my favorite show as a child . Had quite the influence on me . Cars are my life !
I see an Oscar award in your future….for supremely hilarious editing skills.
this was sent to me by the algorithm to remind me how fuckin cool speed racer is
Love the Nightcall playing in the beginning 😂

Is that why they keep showing a big pile of coke?
@@paulnicholson5997 that was some awesome editing done in this clip😉 I can't remember if that was a pile of dust, or salt or something else. But when he edited it in with the shot of opening the trunk immediately before it sure gave you that impression
@@jim2lane I guess we know why they call him "Speed"now, huh?
I was one of those 70's kids who watched this, I was very young and thought Speed was adorable. Now I see this and wonder if he was a drag queen! Scarf, eyelashes?? You're edits are really great fun!

The wilhelm scream at 5:09 really sells it
There!! I KNEW it 😯!! @2:31, now we know how Speed, is able to finance, his racing addiction. Plus, we NOW know where 'Speed', got his name from 😏!!
That plot twist at the end was more insane than the plot twist at the end of the original Halloween in 1978 starring Donald Pleasence (who played Blofeld in You Only Live Twice) and Jamie Lee Curtis (in her film debut).
thank you, man! I'm still happy with how well the twist was executed. And for you to put me in the same breath as the Halloween ending is crazy!
It's amazing how your editing skills continue to develop with each new story line you create.
Another one well-done !
The action edits feel like an Adult Swim bump in the best way.
Racer X has the best line.
When speed looks at the cakes in the boot I like to think is he actually looking at a body.
What a truly terrible thing for Speed Racer’s dad to do, forcing his son to watch the Aqua Man show.
Speed racer has been my long time favorite TV show since I was 5. This video proves that speed racer is a sociopath. Excellent video, AdventureOfSly!
1:04...Trixie can whip up a pretty mean bento box!
6:52...Let's snort that coke!!!
I remember watching the live-action Speed Racer (2008) at the cinema... I wish this movie was as good as this series.
The Movie is excellent. It was a misunderstood masterpiece.
Maybe someday I'll watch it again
That shit was dope
Imagine what this must have been like for an American viewer in the late 60's when the only other pieces of Japanese animation most people in the US had even heard of were Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) and Gigantor (Tetsujin 28-go).
Speed racer listens to nightcall,
What an absolute chad.
I think the American dubbers only had three VAs to voice every character for the whole series.
most definitely, after watching the series for a while you start to hear it
Actually, there were 4, but still 😂
Man, this was badass!!! You made this show 1000% better lol
Great choice of theme music, btw...
The fact I was just watching the other Speed Racer video from you mere minutes ago!
Your content is amazing though. This is just really a masterpiece. And the amount of effort you've put into this, *this art of a video is your best yet!*
Who knew the aquaman cartoon was useful for clockwork orange-like reformation torture
3:00 is Speed freaking out so much at Aquaman because Speed has become hydrophobic?
7:35 good GOD. Those "further proof Speed Racer is a sociopath" videos have nothing on _"Gotcha, BITCH!"_
Now let's break that speed record.🤣
This is so amazing. Amazing, I tell you!
It started out so good, then the editor got high.
My Speed Racer lunch box was used to knock out playground bullies with a skillful throw. It never failed to return to hand. The thermos enabled its boomerang recovery action. Usually filled with tang.
A gentleman of exquisite taste.
Speed racer is honestly psychopathic but that's his allure
But did he get the 7-tiered cake?
Oh nostalgia, this is one of the cartoons I will not miss. Horrible quality even for the time I was watching them. They encouraged fathers to speed up their cars on the way to school... ending up their lives too quickly.
Clockwork Racer
god this is fucking amazin great work and tbh would love to see a speed racer series like this
more, more, more we need more!!!!!!! This was excellent!
The theme song from Ryan Gosling's Drive 😂😂😂
This is what the JJ Abrams produced Speed Racer reboot coming to AppleTV is gonna be like
Loving the kill bill inspired vids lmaoo
That is just...quite simply...amazing.
Like I'm randomly doom scrolling and this shows up. Freaking amazing
This was a little confusing/long at points but all the major beats hit and the ending brought it all together
I didn't know I was going to walk across art today
This is pure class
I think you're reinvigorating the "youtube poop" genre. Bravo.
I love this edit! I watch this once a day, haha!!! Badass, dude.
Thanks bro, I'm happy with how this one turned out
Now this is what I call an entertainment.
This is a jewel in your growing crown of epics
Up there with the Illiad
0:24, Woah, Jigen got w i d e .
This is pretty accurate. I used to watch the show, and this was pretty much every episode, minus every like 5 min the kid and Chim Chim are hiding in the trunk.
lol yeah after editing this, I realized that they essentially force the kid and chim chim into every situation.
@@AdventuresOfSly Oh my goodness did they! Did anyone ever do a counter to show just how overused that gag was, while also showing how many episodes were there?
5:46 Jontron no! You monster!
Man Speed Racer has way more guns than I remember it having...
damn, speed racer is ruthless
REAL HUMAN SPEED AND A SPEEDY HERO
This is pretty much how I remember it. Especially the voice over when Racer X shows up.
The speed racer videos are your masterpiece bar none.
Thank you. I'm still proud of this Speed Racer series ❤
@@AdventuresOfSly one thing I really appreciated the most about is that you created an actual believable storyline for him that actually still pays respects to the source material. The red haring is that he’s possessed by the demon, but the truth is that’s who he really is.

Pops torturing speed with aqua-man ala clockwork orange will never not be funny
Why did you have to make this show even more satanic? I love it.
Can't believe I didn't see this sooner! :D Glad to see you in on the Speed Racer meme goldmine.
Oh god, Speed having a mental breakdown at the old Aquaman is fucking hysterical xD
absolute perfection
I liked the bit with the cars... not to be mistaken as the bit without the cars. Also, *Speed* !
wonderful!
This is a masterpiece.
Speed racer . That means something else these days .
this is exactly like my dreams usually go
This has a Golgo 13 feel. I'd watch it.
Considering how often guns and drugs appeared in the original series, I wouldn't have realized this was a parody until I realized the music playing over wasn't original.
Speed has a coke addiction and serious anger issues with a slight hint of extreme violence
I remember back in the early 2000 when I was a little kid, there was a marathon of the old _Speed Racer_ ... it was the first time I saw a woman die in a cartoon, it was my first stept towards joining the MRA
😂😂😂 stupid edgy jokes aside, Speed Racer is great and I loved the video
The derpy face of speed in 0:05 , was that in the original or another one of your genius moments? LOL
Lol I can't take credit for that, it was in the show. But I always loved the low quality transition to the derpy face
@@AdventuresOfSly Tatsunoko themselves memed/pooped Speed without knowing then... lol
This is like RUclips Poop, but better
Speed does anything for the cake. Go speed Go!
"It's always been my dream, lets try again!"
*Instantly drives off a cliff
LMAO
So the moral of this story is that you can do great things with hard work, perseverence and determination. And if all that fails, just become a mad, cheating bastard and you'll get there much more quickly.
Not exactly he just loves crime and crashes many many cars in the process to win and even if it means tanking Walt Disney's company to do it lol
It all made sense when I watched as a kid, that's why we should fear kids.
After watching YMSs' 3 hour long Kimba the White Lion video, seeing really old anime like this just makes me laugh
Race to end the suspect ..in speedy way.
Is the footage of the Japanese box lunch food at 1:05-1:10 from a "Sailor Moon" episode?
lol yes, yes it is.
What have you done to my favorite Nostalgia Cartoon!!
You forgot to include the Speed Racer OST Intro bruh!
6:34 he's cleaning the blood
Don't ever try to stand between Speed and his cake.
If this was a movie, it should take place in 1985
This is the most hilarious edit I have seen! Thank you for making this!
Directed by Quentin Tarantino.
What a masterpiece.
Is it weird that I saw the thumbnail as 'Speed Racer looking down on a ant hill'?
Maybe it's the choice of music but I got Hotline Miami vibes from it.
awesome game.
@@AdventuresOfSly And you made an awesome video. A part 2 would be cool!
I ... don't even know what to say ... Great video man ! Another Masterpiece :D
Aquamaaaaaan
So...why does he hate the Blues Brothers? Or were those the Blues Brothers 2000? I would get that.

just about everything animated Japanese that came to the US
in the 60s...it was also edited for our market to tone down some of
the violence. I'd love to see these in the original Japanese market
version with good quality subtitles...
The dub has more it's share of quirks but I wouldn't say it's terrible. I think it's fine.
Funimation actually subbed the whole 60's and 90's series a few years ago if you want to check them out in Japanese!
The dub is the best part. It's hilarious.
Truly a masterpiece
