This is what SCP Containment would be like if it was rated E for everyone.
And Dr bright not doing stupid most likely highly destructive things every chance he gets
Scp-999 contained
Ah So this where SCP-999 Used to be From To Clay place to a In one of the Scps like 682. I can see why He has that nice personality and is not scared by the other Scps.
Wait....it isn’t?
You mean like the Broken masquerade canon ?
Seems like the running theme of this channel is that Britain is filled dark and disturbing content.
Just look at there psa's
@@varietyhub2948 exactly I like the weird and dark british kids shows.....I lived in the uk for five months with my husband and his family and I miss it
Must be the weather eh?
My grandma went to britain she said she got made fun of for her "american fancy camera"
@@redacted_vombat5742
Yeah. Like seriously, yeah. Weather over here is just depressing at times.
"Berk is a jerk" probably because he's been working for someone legit horrifying he'd lost his touch with reality a bit and became bad.
Or just because
Also, Berk said nagger as if he nags a lot, and nag means complaining.
But flippin was in the show when I watched it on RUclips
I mean, if my boss was some kind of horrifying beast and I had to deal with abominations coming out of the basement everyday, I'd be pretty mad too.
No. Berk - b is erk. Now. Erk + J is jerk. Coincidince? I think not.
@@Gmodhunter thank you
Berk in the uk is also an older term for a stupid person, from stupid you can get to jerk pretty easily
The true ending to this series is even darker than Rog's death, as the final scene has Berk questioning what happened to the Big Red Thing, Rog says 'don't know', and then the last thing we see is the Big Red Thing roaring, leaping up from the chasm to crush the characters with its huge hands, and that's the end of the show. Presumably, everyone dies.
I remember that as a kid, it scared the SHIT out of me because the Big Red Thing made an awful noise and then it cut to black with the roar echoing in the credits. Everyone spoke about it the next day at school! I was only in grade 2 or so at the time, but it was massive news!
It either that rog didn't notice quick enough or he beats the shit out of the big red thing
Hopefully rog has another round with the thing
Hulk smash
Rog's are not dead and we dont see if the big red thing kill the characters, he just roars at them. The episode are in youtube !
Fun fact: One of the animators who worked on this show also went onto work on Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run
Nick Park.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me. In a good way 🙂
I think Steve kind of implied that
I never did learn what the "thing" was that Steve Box did
It was Terry Brain, he says so in the video. Did any of you actually watch it?
Bloody loved this show. Stop-motion lent itself beautifully to that creepy uncanniness.
Oh hey it's you
It does, also surprised to see you here.
Try lee hard castle
I enjoy the classic stop-motion next to Gumby
I wish we had this show in the states
4:36
"I think i'm about to get a headache"
*S h i t t i n g n o i s e s*
Help your killing me
I mean you can get a headache from that
That was the spider 😂😂💀💀
3 years later this comment still slaps
"Oh globbits!" is my favourite non-swearing swearword besides Smeg.
Y’know Smeg is short for smegma right? Ok not strictly a swear word but it’s still disgusting.
I personally have started saying frick-frack for who knows what reason. Even in front of people I swear infront of
Smeg is also a brand of refrigerators.
That’s what i say from now on
Oh globbits
I feel like this show would have reruns on Adult Swim. It’s so strange.
Truly
It should
I’d love if they did that
Yes
BUT ABSOLUTELY NO CGI
And then re dub it to have a lot of swearing
My favourite quote of The Trap Door:
"It's bonking time! I loves a bit of Bonking!"
_TF2 Scout wants to know your location_

@@pyraffin Pure innocent child.
@@theblackbaron4119 what
@@callmeishmael5742 "Bonking" in the UK is a euphemism for intercourse.
A few thoughts occur:
- Drut is Turd backwards.
- The yellow thing in the thumbnail... that's gonna stick in my head for a while...
- The show will always aesthetically remind me of PS1's _Croc._ It's that uniquely '80s British, bloppy-squiggly cartoon spookiness. I love it. 😁
"Berk" is also a rude thing to call someone. Short for "Berkshire Hunt" because "hunt" rhymes with...you get it.
@@LMvonLebkuchen Rhyming slang at it's finest. XD I never knew that was where "berk" came from. Thanks for that.
Now that you say it, it is very Croc-like with the designs of things
@@lordhellstrande7188 I know, right? 😁 I wish this sort of look would make a comeback - great art direction.
@@lordhellstrande7188 this makes so much sense why I loved this and Croc so much as kid (and I still do now as twenty four years old) The designs were simple but lovable and music in the game… I honestly love that soundtrack.
This show reached Australia and I remember being a tiny kid being obsessed with how good freaky the stop motion was. I wonder if it played a part in my love of creepy gothic stuff?
I just marathoned it on DVD - the creepy gothic style is perfect for Halloween!
I remember also being obsessed with this show as an aussie kid when they were still airing on the abc in the late 90s-early 00s. It definitely influenced my love for all things dark & mysterious
I remember it too when it aired in the early 2000s on Australian TV when I was a little kid
Yup, good ole Nickelodeon aired it too.
Impressive how they animated the scenes where a lot is going on, like having numerous smaller creatures moving around. These must have been a pain to animate.
In the documentary of the video, the part where bugs scrambled over the place is just spreading plasticine and randomly moved frame by frame in order to make it work hopefully.
Actually, it's super easy, barely an inconvenience 😉
1:15 this would be the thing you're talking about
@@vykx88 that’s tight
i actually animate in stop motion, (i have a few of my older animations on my channel), i'm a beginner at animating in stop motion and even animating 2 characters once is a huge pain in the ass
This looks like a nightmare scene from the muppets.
It reminds me of Billy and Mandy
Hey! Dave Brain here, Terry Brain's son. Awesome video. Sorry I hadn't seen it sooner 😁 So that noise at 16:00 is my dad. He would put his hand above his adams apple and wriggle it up and down vigorously to make the noise. Basically any noise/voice outside of the main three (and Rog) is my dad.
Anyway, thanks for the great look back and for keeping the show alive in people's minds! My dad would have got a huge kick out of this 👍
How has steve not noticed this comment yet??
I always felt like Berk was under massive pressure from Him Upstairs to keep the place in order and that's why he bashed all the monsters. Plus if he kept letting them through the trap door the place would quickly get overrun. Plus, "they are monsters" after all.
This looks like a drugged up fever dream.
With a clayness
Dead ass was just thinking this hahah
The late 80's in the UK were basically a huge drugged up fever dream.
Well you ain't wrong
So this is Claymotion at it's scariest abd weidest.
Also would be the most scariest thing to me if I was child.
A bunch of people are going to reply with even scarier and weirder claymation stuff now... I'd suggest Tool music videos, but they're not claymation; just regular stopmotion
Try Mark Twain claymation
Trust me, there's far worse than this out there
Anyone who is a fan of uncanny claymation should checkout Lee Hardcastle. Be warned, it's bloody, surreal, and scary. I recommend Ghost Burger to start out.
@@thesologoldfish thanks for the name I forgot it
Since I was a kid who loved everything creepy and constantly doodles similar oddly-shaped creatures, I know I would've loved this! Too bad that they didn't show it in Finland. :(
@Emilia Iivari Well they DID show really spooky animations sometimes... And they were fully aware of how damn creepy the Moomins could be.
@Emilia Iivari Well they sure creeped me out. The original name of that series was "Grizzly tales for gruesome kids".
I know this comment is 2 years old, but they actually have the full series on youtube! You can search it up, and the full 2 seasons are there! :D
@@Enbypotat53 Thanks love!
@@Logitahof course! Enjoy watching!
THREE WORDS:
*THE.*
*THING.*
*UPSTAIRS.*
Poor Berk had to _bathe_ that thing 😭
Monster: comes out of trapdoor
Berk: So you have chosen death
BRUH THE GORDON RAMSEY PART MADE CHOKE ON MY SPICY RAMENHDHDHD
Lol that is hilarious
The sponge actually looks like Ramsay haha
RamenHDHDHD definition 12k
its also a goldmine of memes, notable instances include:
"its a raidloo"
"right its bonking time, 1 2 3 4 i forget the rest TWELVE"
"ooooooh globittttttts"
Me and my dad constantly quote it to each other.
god yes, before I knew what memes were, I would repeat bonking time because t h e f u n n y
It shows how humour may get edited by time, but never properly changes.
Have played the game on my old Amstrad, and can confirm it is indeed bloody amazing. You gathered things from around the castle in an attempt to fulfil your master's orders and sent the result up the dumbwaiter. If you ever got stuck Boney would give you a hint when you picked him up - so he was indeed the brains of the operation.
It was a great game and a perfect re creation of the show... but did you play the sequel? that was a bit rubbish
Fun Fact: a famous Steve, namely Steve Box, worked on "Trap Door" prior to his work at Aardman Animations in which his first contribution to said studio was designing the infamous penguin Feather's McGraw for "The Wrong Trousers".
Feathers McGraw came from the Trap Door, that's why he's so evil.
This reminded me of the show "Bump in the Night," there should be more creepy stop motion children's TV shows. The best of times! LOL
I’m not the only one who thought that this show had a BITN-esque feel...
Was gonna recommend this show for him. Definitely one that came into mind.
Same exact thing i thought of lol! Was going to come down and comment about it but saw yours!
That joke at 3:20 with the trap door repeatedly smashing the spider had me rolling
"How do we get him down from there?"
"Aaaaaaah... Drut!" (Yeets Drut)
Ngl, that actually got a laugh out of me
I'm glad I'm not the only person who had horrendous nightmares because of this.
Oof
Same!
Nah I absolutely loved this show as a kid
I had a nightmare that I went down the trap door as a kid and one of the monsters I saw (which wasn't in the show but really looked like something from it) still haunts me to this day
I loved it, feeling extreme nostalgia here
So steve here's a childhood show that traumatized me as a kid...Grizzly tales for gruesome kids. Bruv I kid you not I legit shat my self watching this show as a child. I hope you see it, also great video today
, keep up the good work!
Bruh why did the parents never get punished in that lmao
@@degenerate-otaku6634 YEAH like the parents in the show can be as assholes as they want and the kids are the main problem LIKE in one episode a boy escapes into the woods to a cabin but when the parrents get there they dont seem to even care!
@@hogonihajonne sometimes the kids didn't even deserve it ngl
Oh yes I remember that show it's also fascinating to know that all the characters of voiced by the shows narrator Nigel Planer who at the beginning of the earlier episodes lends his voice to the creepy theatre owner Uncle Grizzly
@@williampulfer-melville8536 yeah he did a fantastic job
So glad to see someone talk about this creepy classic. I adored this program as a kid, even had the videos, and I still remember it so fondly.
Fun fact: that sleepy thing was killed by Berk because he ate the food he would give to the creature and as an act of desperation, his only decision was to feed the sleepy thing, since it was the only thing the creature upstairs could consider food
It's moments like this that I wish American children's shows were this cool.
Ok so it's probably not the kind of cool you're looking for but you're just gonna gloss over power rangers like that? I know it's technically Japanese but those are just the action scenes
Also courage the cowardly dog
eh, we had good stuff in the 80s and even early 90s until censorship really dug in
@@TeenDream888 I remember watching cartoons from the 1940s and seeing Donald duck Join the Nazis and angrily force his nephews to smoke because he didn't want them to
@@callmeishmael5742 true
I think the biggest "Berk is a jerk" moment in the show is from S1E3 "Food For Thort" where at the end of the episode, Thort (an onion with a beak as Berk put it) eats the wasp monsters that came out of the trap door, saving the others and Berk even praises him for it.
Then the thing upstairs shouts down that he's hungry and Berk says "Hungry then sire? You are in luck" then he looks at Thort then back up and says "How do you fancy a nice salad?" while gesturing to Thort and Thort even makes a squawk and the episode ends. The implication here is pretty clear; Berk was going to cook Thort. What makes this the worst "Berk is a jerk" moment for me is that Thort isn't just innocent, he's actually heroic in that he saved them from the wasps, and Berk just offers to cook him for his master. That such an ungrateful and dickish thing to do that I always skip this episode on my DVD of the series.
Fortunately, Thort does appear in another episode (the music video episode as you put it) so Berk didn't cook him, but we didn't know that at the time it was made.
talk about over-analysis...
@@experi-mentalproductions5358 Hahaha yh I think it was just a joke lol 😆 great reading though I loved trap door
Trap Door is my go-to binge when I'm sad and can't sleep. My entire family loved sitting down to watch it in the 90s and we used to have it on VHS, before we found the dvd one day in the 2000s. It's just pure nostalgia with such a lovely pinch of British comedy. I recommend all people give it a shot.
I love that you used Thomas the Tank Engine as an example of cgi, because FUN FACT: Willie Rushton recorded audio books of the original Railway Series stories it was based on 👍
Strange clay animation. Oh boy this should be good.
Steve: "But there were no other spiders in the show."
Did you forget about the giant spider that appeared in several episodes? Female spiders are usually several times larger than males and Drut's already basketball sized.
I don't remember that. It could help me with one of my designs
Damn, my boy Drut is a player.
YES I REMEMBER THIS. That giant spider cemented my arachnophobia
To be fair, nearly everything that comes out of the trap door immediately tries to murder/torture Berk and his friends, so Berk's just used to that and not ready to take any shit from them. If I had an active hellmouth in the middle of my home I'd be exactly the same. I cannot blame him one bit for that!
But yeah, putting Drutt down the trap door is a little extreme. Like geez!
Other than that, Berk's just a jokester with good vibes and a dark sense of humour!
The Trap Door is an all-time classic that all stop-motion fans- all *ANIMATION* fans and horror/comedy fans should definitely watch! It's an absolute jam, and deserves all the praise in the world!
Trap Door was genuinely my favourite program when I was a kid, with some hilarious moments when you watch it back as an adult. "This is my bonking stick. I loves a bit of bonking, I do. Bonk. Bonk. Bonk."
Your review is absolutely brilliant - loved it, thank you!
10 seconds in and I’m already questioning if I’m high or not
You’re not
@@sarahlilly1745 So you haven't found out what I've laced his drinking water with. Good :) no evidence , no crime.
@@theblackbaron4119 Don’t poison people
@@sarahlilly1745 it's a joke, dumb-dumb.
Castle:
Dank and uninviting.
Burke:
"Ello" :)
The yellow thing in the first episode *did* eat the master's breakfast, & by the time the red thing went back down the trap door, the master was still clamoring for his breakfast.
Also, the Splund was considering eating Bony & Drut.
Well in the first episode the yellow creature actually ate the breakfast Berk had made and The Splund was actually threatening to eat Bony, Drutt and his kids
6:45 Your description of the situation with the yellow creature in episode 1 isn't completely fair. Berk was just annoyed by it at first, but it did eat the breakfast he had worked on very hard. That's why when he fed the creature to The Thing Upstairs the latter remarked "Parts of that were excellent"; it contained Berk's cooking.
Don't steal food from an exhausted slave.
It's also a curate's egg reference.
The fact that the video preview is "Berk is a Jerk" makes everything better
And it kinda deserves to be a meme at this point.
Honestly, a lot of the monsters from the Trap Door seem pretty evil to me, at least on the outside. :p Also, I feel like Berk is a seemingly happy idiot that otherwise serves a possibly evil master, so I'm not sure if Berk is intentionally mean/evil or just really oblivious and/or trying to keep the status quo and keep things orderly... that type of character, yeah. :p
Looked up the first few episodes. This show is a lot of fun! It's like if Nickelodeon hired the Muppet studio to design the characters and Terry Gilliam to do the backgrounds.
Why is this so familiar even though I don't remember actually watching the show?
Ikr?!?
Your parent could've watched it, that's what happened with me, my mother loves that show and showed me a few clips
When I was a kid we had lots of childrens programs where they would incorporate shorts like episodes of this show (like hallo spencer for example or sessamy street). Often they would not air all the episodes or do it out of order. I am pretty sure thats how I got exposed to it.
There's something about clay-mation in general that gives me odd feelings of familiarity even if I had never seen it before.
Strange....
I remember this! This was broadcasted in a segment on national TV called "Good Night Kids!"
No, I'm not joking - they showed this to kids for a bedtime story.
And it was fantastic.
7:39 this shouldn't have made me laugh more than it should
lol
0:02
“Listen Here Pumpkin Face!”
I have no idea why I laughed.
This show was introduced to my by my dad, it was something we could always quote to eachother and for ages I used to say Globbets all the time at School. That ending made me cry for hours after I first saw it and like most I switched off during the credits because I was crying so much. Only recently when I watched it again myself a few years ago did I realise Rogg was just knocked out. For years I cried for Rogg, But I am so pleased he is safe
"Good old Rog!"
I absolutely adored this show and even have plushes of all of Boni, Bert and Drutt.
Don't think it caused me any nightmares though.
This made me think of Bump in the Night, which was a stop-motion show in the 90s. It featured Mr. Bumpy, who lived under a bed, Squishy his best friend who lived in a toilet, and Molly who was a doll. I don't remember a single episode that wasn't somewhat disturbing.
Dude, I just want you to know that you are like one of my favorite animated film/video essay creators on this platform. Thank you for showing us such a zaney and wild show. As an artist, I really dig weird old stop motion projects and draw lots of inspiration from them.
The 1 dislike on this video is 100% from Berk .
Now it’s 32 sheesh Berk must’ve really hate SteveReviews!
The other 55 are from the monsters that berk *BONKED* and the thing upstairs
now the 78 are prob part of the bunches of worms that surround Berk.
This do be kinda spooky doe.
"Creepy *British* Kids Show"
Oh what a surprise.
"I'm going to get a headache." So he aches all over?
16:34 Unless Aardman gets a hold of it. At least they're willing to keep the stop-motion art form alive, next to Laika.
I remember one of my history teachers showed a few of us this in a school club when we were talking about shows we watched as kids. I never got round to fully watching it but was intrigued by the creepy atmosphere and animation.
Maybe Steve'll review Duckula one day (another show my teacher showed us)
I totally forgot that series existed until I saw that video! My memories are extremely blurry tbh and I remember being super scared of the monsters from the trap door. I only remember a blue monster, a talking skull and a yelling voice and in my memories everything was so much darker. I definitely don't remember the spider, but I googled the series and it turns out that in my mother tongue (German), Drutt was actually female and called Trudi.
I used to Adore this show as a kid and yet completely forgot it existed until this video popped into my recommended. Thank you mate, i'm off to rewatch the whole series.
OMG I REMEMBER MY MUM SHOWED ME THIS AND I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING AND I REMEMBER THE ENDING FREAKING ME THE FUCK OUT-
Grizzly tales for gruesome kids is another British kids show that was fucking horrifying at times
Omg the episode with the name tags used to really freak me out! And the one where kids were turned into dolls
@@DJ-xg4gm same lmao
That episode where th at boy stole the sun was great. And can we also mention now Berk treats Drut similarly to how Spindleshanks was treated by the guy in the theatre
Grizzly tales on its day was class 😂
IKR. Name another kids show where the main cast get murdered in the final episode.
The castle looks like the one belonging to Count Duckula.
In the heart of Transylvania in the Vampire Hall of Famenia
@@williampulfer-melville8536 I can just imagine a crossover between Trap Door and Count Duckula
Yeah
The theme songs for both show have a similar vibe
@@jacobjcb8883 agreed
@@williampulfer-melville8536 there lives a vampire unlike any other
(DUCKULA)
I still adore this show. Amazing animation even by today's standards, and such a great cast of versatile character personalities and monsters.
It wasn't just Boney and Burke that Willy did. With the exception of the weird noises of the various monsters (the name Nick Shipley often comes up there), he was the voice of everything! Rushton was a mad genius when it came to that sort of thing - if you ever get the chance, have a listen to his work on the various Private Eye flexidiscs. Also don't forget the performer behind the theme tune, one Zygott,
Drut was laying mad pipe offscreen, and it hurts my brain to think of that
its possible he met a lady spider down that trap door
I hope one day he reviews Grabbit the Rabbit. That show still scares me...
What's it about?
@@abbychildress7046 honestly? I can't even remember. All I remember is the rabbit, a badger, a snake, and I think a coyote? It was clay animated, and very, very eerie...
This was the best show... did you ever notice Drut is Turd backwards... either a great coincidence or a hidden toilet joke behind the farts... he was always my favourite
I loved this show! This review took me right back to my childhood. I want this show back so bad.
"Steve review uploads a video"
me: all as planned
You didn't mention the jumpscare after Rog is revealed to be alive smh
I never got to watch this show as a kid but the stop-motion animation is so creative. So many fun, quirky designs and colors. I’m glad that Rog ended up surviving but that’s still a dark fake out that I’m sure crushed a bunch of kids who had fallen in love with him.
That last “shivering” vocal line in the end credits theme creeped me out more than anything in the actual episodes, like, you think the song ends but you’re given this extra bit of creepiness against a silent backdrop. It makes me wonder what was going through the person’s mind when recording that sound.
7:48 I would say this part got me laughing hard Steve where you put in Gordan's voice when Berk whacks the sponge most away, GENIUS!
Ah! The Trap Door!
This is one of my all-time favourites. I absolutely ADORE this show. I have the opening speech committed to memory!
Also another thing you didn’t mention: Willie Rusten was also one of the narrators for the RWS audiobooks.
I was hoping someone would point that out!
In fact Willy Rushton's voices for Berk and Boney are the same voice is he used for Duck and Gordon
I remember those iconic lines
*Anyone would think but our thomas had just seen a ghost*
Dude I loved this show so much as a kid, so much so that my sister and I still quote it to this day. It was just so different from everything else I'd seen. I even have the full collection on DVD. Gonna have to re-watch it sometime
Oh, Globbits! Didn't expect to see this review! No wonder I loved Willie Rushton's narration of The Railway Series, as he narrated them both.
So glad someone talked about this show! My mum introduced it to me through videos and I spent most of the 90’s enjoying those videos with only a handful of episodes...then I managed to snag the whole series on dvd. I always enjoyed the mystery of the trap door and what would come creeping out of it next.
Never noticed it before, but really digging the mystic cave zone theme playing softly in the background of this review. Very interesting review!
when i was 6 or 8 i had a trapdoor themed birthday cake coz i loved watching the show and i was a fan, i had the dvds for both seasons. true nostalgia.
imagine he reviews dont hug me im scared? that would be legendary
Or salad fingers 😂
Yes! DHMIS and Salad Fingers are right up Steve's ally.
Or grizzly tales for gruesome kids
An old mysterious castle that contains a trap door which periodically opens to release random monsters, pretty sure this is an undiscovered SCP
One that is so scary it's barely comprehensible.
I may have to get my typewriter out!
SCP-354 is kind of like the trap door. It's a pool of blood-like liquid that monsters periodically emerge from and it actually leads to another world.
I absolutely loved watching this show growing up. Always watched whatever my dad could find of it, which might explain the lack of memory of the scariest bits. We do still have the cook book of the show though, it's completely bizarre!
Literally grew up with this show and rewatched it so many times that i invented my whole roster of trapdoor creatures in the same style
If you’re interested in an appropriately timed dark animated kids movie, maybe review Disney’s hunchback for its 25 anniversary this year
Love that movie but I kinda want to see a review of Return to Oz.
Why not both I haven’t seen rto but it looks great
I think Steve stays away from the biggies because Disney would copyright claim that video. If you want to see reviews of all the bootleg animated Hunchback films, I recommend Phelous.
@@HiveFleetUlfang1 well that sucks.
Well he did also review nightmare before Christmas and plenty other you tubers reviewed hunchback before so I think there’s hope
I had the biggest fear of this show as a child, to the point it still makes me jump a little when I see it pop up online (like with this video, thank you Steve!) Obviously I've gotten over this weird phobia and have really come to appreciate it, even enjoy it, but it was a source of really odd trauma for child me (something which my siblings took full advantage of...).
As unbelievably meanspirited that first episode was to that yellow thing, It eating Him Upstairs’ originally planned breakfast spawned one of my favourite out-of-context lines from Berk that I still quote to this very day. “Look at that! He’s eaten his breakfast”
This is one of those shows that I remember watching without actually remembering anything from the show. Thanks for refreshing my memory!
4:04 I remember Willie Rushton as the person who narrated a lot of the Railway series audiobooks
God, I remember watching this with my dad every morning when I was 3 years old. We could even sing the theme song off by heart. Though we watched reruns on an old TV in 2009
Thanks to your review, I have now watched this show multiple times and I love it!! Thank you for introducing me to this, Padak and Leafie!!
Boney is my spirit… uh… skull, for real!!
God, I loved this series as a kid. Still do, actually. I remember my dad had some of the episodes recorded on a VHS and I watched them over and over, so many times that I think I almost wore out the tape in the cassette.
And yes, Berk was a jerk...but considering everything around him, you can kinda understand why.
I like how it looks dark but it sounds Normal
My parents showed me this on VHS in the mid 2000s. I loved it. I loved the "I loves me a bit of bonkin' bit" for some reason it made me lose my shit laughing.
The theme rocked too
Great video Steve. I just happened upon this video and after I watched it it convinced me to go and watch all the episodes. Great show. I wish I got to watch it when I was growing up XD
I remember this. Great stuff. Takers me back. Good times. Loving your channel btw.
