as a military veteran I can honestly say that cartoons like this helped pave the way for me to want to be a military woman. Love the song, he will fight for freedom, GI Joe, the great American hero. All girls want a GI joe man and men want to be GI joe.Everyone needs a hero
My dad grew up in the 80s watching this and He Man. G.I. Joe was the coolest thing I've ever watched in the mid 2000s and then he showed me this classic cartoon. I have now introduced my sister to them and she now loves the Joes.
Man, I remember when I was a kid I was such a fanatic of gi joe, my parents gave me a gi joe aircraft carrier playset for christmas, the uss flagg, me & my friends would play for hours on that toy. Until now, I still had that toy & I had no intention selling a part of my childhood memory.
I Hope When The Corona Virus Is Over, I Hope that Every Movie Theater and Drive In Movie Theater In Every State, Would Show This AWESOME Movie (GI Joe The Movie (Animated Movie) ), In Honor Of It's 33rd Anniversary.
Growing up in the 1980s was the best time of my life and this series is one of my favorite Hasbro cartoons since The Transformers. Thanks for letting my childhood memories unleashed. Great vid. YO, JOE!
Man, I was a child of the 80's and remember coming home from school to watch G.i.Joe, one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I'm sure it influenced me in becoming a veteran & Sailor of this great United States of America!!!
In 1983, watching GI Joe was awesome as a child. In 20XX, watching GI Joe as an adult is 20 times for awesome because the artist, animators and writers were way ahead of their time.
James Scarborough in my opnion he had a better voice talent than Peter Cullen coz, MAN! that raspy voice is hard especially in their time there's not much tech in voice manipulation or enhancing.
+Ready4Whatever : What is really crazy is that GIJOE that debut in 1983 was far advanced snapshot of what would happen for REAL in the future. . "GIJOE is the code-name for America's daring highly trained special fighting force (interject Navy Seals, Delta Force) against Cobra a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Interject (ISIL, or the Taliban.) Yo Joe!
If we want more cartoons like this to be made, we need to start buying the dvds. If they see that they can make buisness off of shows like this then they'll make more of them.
That last intro with Zartan & the Dredknoks singing "Cobra" and battling on the Statue of Liberty, was actually the cartoon movie intro. And its one of the best animated intros ever!
G.I. Joe: The Movie had the absolute BEST intro. I remember it fondly as a kid. I also like the Intros with Flint as he was my favorite over Duke and Hawk.
yeah, the cold war was great. Show lavish levels of overt patriotism at all times or be treated like a suspect, cause freedom. I could do without "incoming soviet nukes, get under your desks and close your eyes" school drills. Even at 8 years old we knew it was bullshit and that if nukes were coming, we were already dead. Nothing like growing up with that possibility always seeming to be just around the corner.
So many great toys and TV shows back in the 80s. Transformers, GI Joe, Knight Rider, Voltron, Robotech, The A-Team, Thunder Cats, He-Man & She-Ra, Marshall BraveStarr, Centurions, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, M.A.S.K., Robotech, SilverHawks to name a few. But The Transformers, GI Joe, and Knight Rider were my LIFE.
Same here I was born on the heel of the 90s I grew up watching movies like toy story and the lion king they simply don’t make them like this anymore and it’s sad nothing besides any marvel movie or transformers movie even comes close to being as action packed as this shit
When the movie was released the statue of liberty had just reopened after a major multiyear project to refurbish her, it was big news at the time and the opening scene was patterned on the reopening celebration.
long time ago iuse to watch the gi joe movie i use to love to watch cobra commander them i found out hr was snake. in my child day i just felt cobra were just there bad guy name there teams. did not know it was snake
I mean, I’m 18 and I grew up with this despite it being around about 20 years before I started to exist. I loved these as a child and I love these now!
Toei animation studio did both. Same guys behind Dragon Ball Z & One Piece. Personally, TMS animation had the best body of work - bringing movie caliber production to shows like Bionic Six, Galaxy Rangers, and (my fav) Visionaries, in the 80s, then contributing to 90s shows like Batman TAS, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Spider-man TAS
Well, if they manage to get the national anthem shitcanned, it should be replaced by this just to spite them because you know if Cobra was real the left would make excuses for them just like they do real terror groups.
Trayxxxx no wraithbannon is right - I watched the new cartoons with new intros thinking wow this sucks - maybe its just because I've grown up, but then I went back and watched this and transformers - then I realized upon comparison - there is no comparison. todays crap really does suck.
4713Caine To me there are tons of cartoon that are just as good or better then the past ones. Transformers, Ninja Turtles to name a few old ones that have gotten better in time. And new shows like Wander Over Yonder, Regular Show and the new Mickey Mouse shorts. Plus being from the 80's I've watched my share and know there were just as much bad cartoon back the as there is now. Rude Dog and the Dweebs, Popeye and Son, freaking Rubik the Amazing Cube.
a show about a group of men and women of all races defending our nation without the effecting our country. wow the good old days. g.i. joe always won. why don't they shows like this anymore
ShellzFilms LLC. ..... probably because the United States is not fighting for Freedom anymore, too busy fighting for one certain country in the Middle East, too busy sticking its nose up everybody's ass instead of Defending its own borders from The Invasion down south!!!
it is a precious gem. Sadly military-themed shows like this have lost their innocence i recall in an interview they wanted to do them as a counter-terrorism theme with ARAH because Vietnam was still in peoples heads. And seeing victims of the Iraq War and every other Military Industrial motivated conflict in the last like two decades it would kind of be in "Bad taste"
Cobra has the technology and resources to build a flying carrier, but have to resort to a dude with a jetpack to set a bomb in order to destroy something.
Nope. Obama is Zartan, enabling the rise of terrorist organizations everywhere, while Trump is Sergeant Slaughter, smashing the crap out of terrorists while giving zero fucks about what people think of him while he's doing it.
I'm not even American, but a Canadian... But I loved this show. GI Joe and the classic Star Trek taught me about courage, bravery, duty, determination, cooperation, friendship and loyalty. I'd wanna wave that flag too! And it stuck with me my whole life... I joined the Canadian military at 45...just took a long road to get here. And the USA always got looked down on by a lot of people in Canada. My dad taught me that was BS. The world would be a far worse place without the USA in it. My father wouldn't have escaped "repatriation" by Soviet forces if it wasn't for an American Sergeant. Duke is the king of the Joe's. 👑 💪🏻👍🏻 YO JOE! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Because we're not in the cold war anymore, therefore we don't need cold war propaganda. I like the show, but it's still just an extended toy commercial.
I was born in 1994 but I grew up watching this show. I remember I was 8 or 9 and I saw a VHS tape of this show at blockbuster and asked my ma to rent it for me. I was hooked ever since.
Such a great intro, and such an amazing cartoon. Such an awesome passion and truth to the lyrics, too. I only wish we could be the America we used to be, as the song sings about. Still, it reminds us of the glory days, and gives us hope to be better than we are now. Yo, JOE!
+patio87 Watch the show again. G.I. Joe was a loose collection of identical clones and hobos with NO military training of any type, at least that's implied by their style of "always give the enemy a way out" and "miss every shot"
+Nick Johnson well it was a cartoon series emphasis on the word series what an of the last very long are made as much money if they just ended in two or three episodes
I remember this, I remember waking up early before school and watching this, waking up on saturday and watching this, then it went off air. Thanks for the upload!
How right you are! I was watching some of these countdown videos of the top cartoon themes of the 80s/90s and if they have transformers they always use the season 1 Transformers opening. Season 3 was the theme at it's best. Compare that with other themes.
Dragnmastralex Haha!!Nice,did you see the ROBOT CHICKEN episode when the U.S. MILITARY met G.I.JOE??'JOES get owned by the U.S. Military for being too goofy.
as a military veteran I can honestly say that cartoons like this helped pave the way for me to want to be a military woman. Love the song, he will fight for freedom, GI Joe, the great American hero. All girls want a GI joe man and men want to be GI joe.Everyone needs a hero
lookto Jesus, as an American citizen, I salute ALL you brave men AND women for fighting for our country's freedom🇺🇸🎖️!!
Yoooo, JOE!
Thank you for your service general. I may be only 13 but I have a great respect for men & women like you. What did you do in your time service?
I'd be lying if i didnt say i wanted to be a gi joe when i was younger. Now i am
But it’s out them where the Patriotism from Hasbro it needs G.I. Joe back.
It's 2022 and the movie theme still gives me goosebumps
What a nerd
When I was a young boy, I thought this was how the military really worked.
Hahaha 😂😂, me too bro👍bless you from Netherlands
I Would Like To Dedicate This To All Of Our Fighting Men and Women Overseas, Because They're The Real GI. Joes.
It doesnt?!
Then you joined up and found out otherwise, right?
@@kathymoriarty1441 Amen
Gi Joe, Transformers, He man, just classic one of a kind 80's cartoons
Same Producers too
And Voltron and Thundercats
As Seen on WGN-TV's Bozo Show
All being toys that came first, that caused the shows to be made as ads
These intros alone were 100 times better than the live action movies.
silverclawedwolf ikr
WERE THEY EVER!
The only thing that comes close is any marvel movie
DAMN RIGHT
What live action movies (I never watched them and never will)
Being a 38 years old woman , I still love G.I, Joe since I was very little I remember WWF Hall Of Famer Sgt. Slaughter was a part of G.I. Joe.
Same, Used to watch reruns of it back years ago when I was around 11-12 years old
He'd put us in a ditty bag... an itty, bitty ditty bag.
Most 80s cartoons had a diverse group of people of different races, ethnicities and cultures. The 80s cartoons are way ahead of their time.
Was there only 4-5 seasons of G.I. Joe?
+CJLAKE123 2 actually
I agree, I was a kid in the 80's and those cartoons were cool. Today kids will never experienced like we did back in 1980s
TheNewEmphinix YES!!!
Yes they were!!!
For those growing up in the 80's, these cartoon make being a grown up look so awesome, you wanted to be an adult and live an adventure 😁😁😁😁
It's to bad they don't make cool cartoons like these any more.
Ikr
My dad grew up in the 80s watching this and He Man. G.I. Joe was the coolest thing I've ever watched in the mid 2000s and then he showed me this classic cartoon. I have now introduced my sister to them and she now loves the Joes.
Man, I remember when I was a kid I was such a fanatic of gi joe, my parents gave me a gi joe aircraft carrier playset for christmas, the uss flagg, me & my friends would play for hours on that toy. Until now, I still had that toy & I had no intention selling a part of my childhood memory.
Is it still intact? Or are there parts missing and broken?
@@CK2012 It's still intact but the radio is broken. My friends & I abused the hell out of the radio, it drove my neighbors nuts. 😅
I never got the cool shit like that!!! I got the figures but not the Carrier.
I got the mobioe command center, played with it so much I _broke_ the door of it.
And now you know .. and knowing is half the battle!
itsaBHthing the other half is violence
I Hope When The Corona Virus Is Over, I Hope that Every Movie Theater and Drive In Movie Theater In Every State, Would Show This AWESOME Movie (GI Joe The Movie (Animated Movie) ), In Honor Of It's 33rd Anniversary.
Growing up in the 1980s was the best time of my life and this series is one of my favorite Hasbro cartoons since The Transformers. Thanks for letting my childhood memories unleashed. Great vid. YO, JOE!
A simple time, I actually grew up in the 2000s and even as late then there was no social media and the internet was a new thing
Man, I was a child of the 80's and remember coming home from school to watch G.i.Joe, one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I'm sure it influenced me in becoming a veteran & Sailor of this great United States of America!!!
In 1983, watching GI Joe was awesome as a child. In 20XX, watching GI Joe as an adult is 20 times for awesome because the artist, animators and writers were way ahead of their time.
Good childhood memories. Im proud that I grew up in the 80s.
Cobra Commander was voiced by the late Chris Latta who also provided the vooice of G1 Transformers Starscream
I think most of us know that by now..lol! Kidding... I miss his voice... like... a lot.
It'd be nice if I didn't have to wait til' the end of the freakin video to hear his voice..
James Scarborough in my opnion he had a better voice talent than Peter Cullen coz, MAN! that raspy voice is hard especially in their time there's not much tech in voice manipulation or enhancing.
James Scarborough No wonder he sounded familiar!
James Scarborough I always wanted to know who did Starscream. Thank you!
7 mins that just blew away all the new live action GI JOE movies combined.
+Ronald Joseph The first second of the first intro blew away the live-action movies.
True..very true.
words cannot express how happy this video makes me!
This version of GI Joe was telecasted somewhere around 2003 in India.
My Saturday morning show!
Awesome! Was it for the whole public or just American Embassy?@@hyperpaced6534
My childhood in seven minutes...
And 17 seconds
Those 80s cartoons intros were epic
They don't make these anymore, It was very different time
My wife laughs at me because I still remember every intro to all my 80s cartoons.
Dude, seriously? You made a screen name just to insult autistics? and you're calling someone ELSE a fucking idiot?
Hasn't she heard of a thing called "nostalgia"?
Women do not understand how the cartoons we, men watched as kids, determined much of who we are, as adults
At least they were worth remembering!
@mauriciovarelalarios460 hell i watched this and i'm a girl
AH FUCK YEAH! SATURDAY MORNINGS AWESOME CARTOONS, WHO REMEMBERS THEM??
HELL YEAHH
IsThizReL
TheBlackSheep every now and then they come on and I watch them
TheBlackSheep Me!
TheBlackSheep the glory days
Fuck I miss the 80's and 90's cartoons. Brings back memories.
Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Power Puff Girls, and Samurai Jack are all getting reboots.
Well not Jack that one's picking up where it left off.
Wish granted.
+Ready4Whatever : What is really crazy is that GIJOE that debut in 1983 was far advanced snapshot of what would happen for REAL in the future. .

I already have the entire G.I. Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, and He-Man series. LOL
Ready4Whatever me to but 90s cartoons don't come close the 80s cartoons.
The movie theme has been stuck in my head for years, and I love it
Years!!!
Saturdays will never be the same without GI Joe.
Yeah. If G.I.Joe could play again, I'd be stuck to the TV each Saturday mornings (even if I have the DVDs)
SpaceCat G.I.Joe still comes on every morning 5:00am. Same time for the last 10 years.
In USA? What channel? Can I get it in Canada?
howard smith I'm in Canada too, what channel?
1M0RTAL_CH1CKEN in the United States it's channel DFCH Discovery Family
this bring a tear to my eye seeing my childhood
That last intro with Zartan & the Dredknoks singing "Cobra" and battling on the Statue of Liberty, was actually the cartoon movie intro. And its one of the best animated intros ever!
Ahhh GI Joe: when terrorism still was funny
Came here for the nostalgia of 80's childhood. End up LMAO at the first comment!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
This Awesome 80's cartoon show is 33-years-old, Happy 33rd Anniversary G.i Joe a real American hero.
Dianne Moriarty I’m 45. I still watch it on the hasbro channel
I miss when terrorists were Saturday morning cartoon fodder.
Me and my dad used to watch this and transformers together!
That's a good dad
@Ken Penalosa Well someone had a rough childhood.
Nice!
And funnily enough, Chris Latta was the voice of both Cobra Commander and Starscream!
G.I. Joe: The Movie had the absolute BEST intro. I remember it fondly as a kid. I also like the Intros with Flint as he was my favorite over Duke and Hawk.
I miss those levels of patriotism.
yeah, the cold war was great. Show lavish levels of overt patriotism at all times or be treated like a suspect, cause freedom. I could do without "incoming soviet nukes, get under your desks and close your eyes" school drills. Even at 8 years old we knew it was bullshit and that if nukes were coming, we were already dead. Nothing like growing up with that possibility always seeming to be just around the corner.
well we technically have to face the risk of nuclear war, where no one wins
Mr T served in the Army, you think he would be a good president?
I miss having a country worthy of those levels of patriotism.
This show is legitimate cold war propaganda though
So many great toys and TV shows back in the 80s. Transformers, GI Joe, Knight Rider, Voltron, Robotech, The A-Team, Thunder Cats, He-Man & She-Ra, Marshall BraveStarr, Centurions, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, M.A.S.K., Robotech, SilverHawks to name a few.
But The Transformers, GI Joe, and Knight Rider were my LIFE.
Man, that last intro... chills. And subtle as a jetpack. I love it!
Subtle as a jet pack… I love it
That one pops into my head every now and then!
Thank you for your service and bravery and courage and commitment
80s cartoons had the BEST INTROS EVER as well as being the best cartoons. Love the 80's
This brought back so many great memories.....THANK YOU!!!!
GI JOE is good memories to remember from my/the childhood.
Trump:G.I.JOE is good guys .I make G.I.JOE Great again
Nostalgia, takes me back. Miss the 80s.
Damn! I'm old 😞
3:23 I never realised until just now that St Slaughter was actually in G.I. Joe! Awesome.
ya, he was a major roll in the first gi joe movie. besides snake eyes and beach head, sgt slaughter was my fav joe.
In the comic he became one of the drill instructors. He's actually 5th in command, behind Beach-Head, Flint, Duke and General Hawk.
The Cobra opening blew my mind over and over. I regret being too young to have seen this on tv
Same here I was born on the heel of the 90s I grew up watching movies like toy story and the lion king they simply don’t make them like this anymore and it’s sad nothing besides any marvel movie or transformers movie even comes close to being as action packed as this shit
When the movie was released the statue of liberty had just reopened after a major multiyear project to refurbish her, it was big news at the time and the opening scene was patterned on the reopening celebration.
I loved this show when I was younger. And hell, I didn't even grow up in the 80s. (I was born in 2004).
Classic 80s my childhood, great times, 😎👍👍🍻🇺🇸
First intro was badass. Remember growing up to this. lmao
Thirty-five years, and this is still awesome. YO, JOE!!!!
Who else screams COBRAAAAA too like the guy?
CJ Vergara
Sounds like Major Blood
You mean cobra commander?
COBRA!!!! RETREAT!!!! RETREAT!!!
i wasn't a kid in the 80's. i was born in 2000, but this and Johnny Quest was basically all i watched on DVDs, thank you for uploading :D
The military of the late 90's owes a great debt to GI Joe and Rambo
Nothing but patriotism & a commercial for toys... And I absolutely loved every second of it.
Look, the bad guys are snakes and the good guys are army people! Love you Community. GI Jeff, one of the best episodes.
long time ago iuse to watch the gi joe movie i use to love to watch cobra commander them i found out hr was snake. in my child day i just felt cobra were just there bad guy name there teams. did not know it was snake
@@emmasworld3734 Well, a cobra is a type of snake, so it should've been a dead giveaway. Same goes for his superior Serpentor.
Happy 40th Anniversary to G.I Joe : Real American Hero
Back when cartoons made a man out of you 😤
I mean, I’m 18 and I grew up with this despite it being around about 20 years before I started to exist. I loved these as a child and I love these now!
For some reason, I really like these graphics and the graphics that they used for the 80's transformers
Such good quality.
Ivo Robotnik yeah and i also like the audio for them too
Yeah! I love the sound of their guns, too.
Toei animation studio did both. Same guys behind Dragon Ball Z & One Piece.

The nostalgia is so overwhelming. I'm in tears.😭😂😂😂
We need to replace the national anthem with this.
I made it the anthem for NATO in this ruclips.net/video/hhSkFUsoQ6c/видео.html
Well, if they manage to get the national anthem shitcanned, it should be replaced by this just to spite them because you know if Cobra was real the left would make excuses for them just like they do real terror groups.
My old man raised me on these cartoons. I watched G.I. Joe, Zelda, Mario, King Arthur, Ghostbusters, and Dungeons & Dragons.
How can you get such a simple concept so wrong, Hollywood?
+Daniel L They based the movies on G.I. Joe Sigma 6 and Renegades
You answered your own question. You have Hollywood liberals make it. Hollywood=liberal mindset.
Because it's meant to be more adult, but they failed to see some things are universal for kids and adults.
SJWs
Social Justice Waste
GI Joe is one of the most cinematic cartoons I have ever seen. Such a professional presentation for a cartoon.
80s were the heyday of pew pew lasers.
& the 90s. Ya know. SWAT Cats & all
The 🎥 intro was always my favorite.
1:33 Wild Bill breaks the fourth wall, c'mon bro we're filming here

i miss this cartoon....cartoons today suck...

Maybe its cause you got older.

This cartoon was so far ahead of its time its ridiculous. And the toys, man, so much greatness back then!
HOT Classic!-🔥🔥🔥
OMG....that 'G.I. Joe The Movie' opening was SOOoooo EPIC!!! I remember losing my mind when i saw that as a kid!!! :D
a show about a group of men and women of all races defending our nation without the effecting our country. wow the good old days. g.i. joe always won. why don't they shows like this anymore
Yeah, all those cries for diversity and equality in 2015 and look at this. This cartoon is way ahead of it's time
They don't sell action figures.
ShellzFilms LLC. ..... probably because the United States is not fighting for Freedom anymore, too busy fighting for one certain country in the Middle East, too busy sticking its nose up everybody's ass instead of Defending its own borders from The Invasion down south!!!
Actually for most of the run they were a "multinational" force, think Rainbow Six.
it is a precious gem. Sadly military-themed shows like this have lost their innocence i recall in an interview they wanted to do them as a counter-terrorism theme with ARAH because Vietnam was still in peoples heads. And seeing victims of the Iraq War and every other Military Industrial motivated conflict in the last like two decades it would kind of be in "Bad taste"
Wow. Haven't seen this much obvious patriotism since that speech from Independence Day
Cobra has the technology and resources to build a flying carrier, but have to resort to a dude with a jetpack to set a bomb in order to destroy something.
James Sharpe out was delicious io
Kim Martin you couldn't be further from the truth.
Nope. Obama is Zartan, enabling the rise of terrorist organizations everywhere, while Trump is Sergeant Slaughter, smashing the crap out of terrorists while giving zero fucks about what people think of him while he's doing it.
DETAILS, DETAILS!
Know how much the flying carrier had to have set them back?
The best cartoons , and toys In the 80’s
When life was innocent. The intro song actually kinda made me tear up just like most 80s tv show intro songs because it just represents a better time.
After 1987 is when I grew out of GI Joe and got into Ninja Turtles in 1989 but that Cobra theme is legendary
So many shots and guns poppin off and nobody getting shoy.. This like the hip hop of 2016
I'm not even American, but a Canadian... But I loved this show. GI Joe and the classic Star Trek taught me about courage, bravery, duty, determination, cooperation, friendship and loyalty. I'd wanna wave that flag too! And it stuck with me my whole life... I joined the Canadian military at 45...just took a long road to get here.
And the USA always got looked down on by a lot of people in Canada. My dad taught me that was BS. The world would be a far worse place without the USA in it. My father wouldn't have escaped "repatriation" by Soviet forces if it wasn't for an American Sergeant. Duke is the king of the Joe's. 👑 💪🏻👍🏻

Because we're not in the cold war anymore, therefore we don't need cold war propaganda. I like the show, but it's still just an extended toy commercial.

When I was young I thought this was realistic until I became spec ops in the marines
Thank you for your service
Gluff thank you for your service
Haha that damned movie intro with the statue if liberty gets me every time! with a tear in my eye, I salute!!! Yoooooo Joe. 4life
Let's play HOT POTATO with Destro --- LMAO
A Venture Brothers parody spot took that intro (and Destro's part in it) to a very dark place.
Such a great intro, and such an amazing cartoon. Such an awesome passion and truth to the lyrics, too. I only wish we could be the America we used to be, as the song sings about. Still, it reminds us of the glory days, and gives us hope to be better than we are now. Yo, JOE!
We could use a reboot. Or is everybody too offended for something like this?
They’d all wear pink camo and prance into battle
@@TheNecessaryEvilso they'd look like Gun Gale Online's MC??
Idgaf 80's cartoons were the best man it was very good time to be kids back then
So much cooler than all that lame anime shows with highschool kid warriors.
patio87 Yeah. This is the best action anime ever!
Aug-toons Cause knowing is half the battle!
+patio87 Watch the show again. G.I. Joe was a loose collection of identical clones and hobos with NO military training of any type, at least that's implied by their style of "always give the enemy a way out" and "miss every shot"
+Nick Johnson well it was a cartoon series emphasis on the word series what an of the last very long are made as much money if they just ended in two or three episodes
That's the Truth!

sniff sniff memory's I am getting a little teary eye folks
I remember this, I remember waking up early before school and watching this, waking up on saturday and watching this, then it went off air. Thanks for the upload!
I've been looking for the "cobra and DESTRO" one, thanks
These intros are amazing even today
Amazing animation.
That last intro just hits different 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
this reminds me of better times. when the us military fought with terrorists, instead of supporting them. lol
Recruitment cartoons but highly effective...
Oh, shut up. It's a great show.
The other half is violence.
This was made in a different time because GI Joe came out during the Cold War specifically towards it's end
G.I. JOE the movie got better intro than transformers the movie. but the season 3 of transformers got the best intro ever
How right you are! I was watching some of these countdown videos of the top cartoon themes of the 80s/90s and if they have transformers they always use the season 1 Transformers opening. Season 3 was the theme at it's best. Compare that with other themes.
To anyone who watched GI joe as a kid, I can recommend Venture Brothers. Just look up "Yo! S. I." On RUclips and enjoy.
If i ever join the Military....I am so shouting "YO JOE!" when going in to battle.
+Sammy Lane been there, done that.
Dragnmastralex Haha!!Nice,did you see the ROBOT CHICKEN episode when the U.S. MILITARY met G.I.JOE??'JOES get owned by the U.S. Military for being too goofy.
Anyone 2020 ? This cartoon remind my childhood ..now im 35years old ..watched on black & white television ..
