Only true OGs remember:
"It's G.I Joe against Cobra and Destro."
*Destro
@@toxiclightning5303 I changed it
@@mecha53107 my man 👌🏾
I kept thinking I had remembered it wrong after all these years...
Then that makes me an OG. When I started bingeing this series, I was surprised by the change. When did that happen?
"Knowing is half the battle!"
"What's the other half?"
"Fucking red lasers and blue lasers."
😂
Let me catch my Breath !! These GiJoe Intros are more exciting then any movie that Hollywood puts out now !!!
American & Japanese collaboration in animation was a force to be reckoned with back then.
So that's why I am getting Transformers vibes unfortunately we didn't get this show in the UK likely dubbed too violent too bad it looks awesome will have to check it out if I can.
COME BACK EIGHTIES!
COME BAAAAACK!!! 😢
1984 LIFE.

4-UNTIL THE STREE LIGHTS COME ON! Outside playing AS YOUR FAVORITE GI JOE
I was always either Shipwreck or Alpine.
Even as a kid, I always felt a sort of kinship with the bad guys. I played as Cobra Commander almost all the time.
@@samcarter565 As a bad guy, I loved playing as Dr. Mindbender. As a Joe, mine was Quick Kick or Spirit. I wished I had a pet eagle like my other friend who had a parrot and played Shipwreck.
Best part of gi joe movie intro when duke fly's the stars n stripes to the top of lady liberty
You’re not wrong :-)
Amen to that! It just shows the kind of guy Duke is just like when he returns Cobra’s bomb to them! And it shows why even for not being among the original thirteen in the toys, Duke has been one of the most quintessential Joes.
The movie intro was the best one!
That song had 2 verses and it even sounded like they threw in a chord change when they say "GI Joe is there". Really a music masterpiece. Also they made sure to say "over land and sea and air" whereas the tv series just says "over land and air"... haha amazing
It sure is and reminds us how Sunbow went the whole nine yards to show that G.I. Joe the Movie was next level in terms of scale and animation
That GI Joe Movie intro hits different now that I'm older...Legendary!!!
Damn straight. Had to show my son what real cartoons were when I came up than this SpongeBob garbage
@@d.palmer4599
Yeah.
Rock on, bro! 🤘🇺🇸
Watching this made my eyes wet 🥺😢. I miss the 80’s (early 80’s), I miss my era. “Yo Joe”!!!!!!
I was in 6th grade when the first GI Joe Cartoon premiered and was in 11th grade when GI Joe The Movie came out.Great times!! Yo Joe!!!!
Amazing animation! What incredible memories I have of watching Joe every weekday after school at 4pm. A show with intelligent writers, that didn't pander to children. I learned all sorts of new words like oblivion, fortuitous, etc. Cobra Commander was very well read. Lol!
@eric Meyers… Also they didn’t dumb down the plot and content. They actually respected the intelligence of kids and their ability to comprehend sophisticated things like economic warfare, which was in an episode where Cobra was trying to destroy the American economy in an episode. What kid shows today would ever consider that?
I like how Destro is mentioned in the first into but was dropped after that
As I recall Destro was a really new character as of the first series. I guess they were really pushing him.
@@StormsongK They were all new characters when the show first released.
@@suchiuomizu Well, my point was Destro wasn't one of the original lineup. Even Cobra Commander wasn't introduced with the first set of figures.
@@StormsongK
Destro was one of the first mail-in figures after Cobra Commander and Duke. Hasbro wanted a big deal made about him. Like Duke a Cobra Cmdr, Destro went on regular sale later the same year. Except of the personnel card that was cut specifically to fit in the shipping package and was one sided as well, there was no real difference between the Mail-in figures and the regular sales figures.
GIJoe was used pretty heavily to sell the toys. many episodes were written and debuted almost specifically to effectively advertise any new toys. This did get them in a lot of trouble and seriously altered how cartoons in the US could approach a very necessary revenue stream, the advertising and sale of toys or other paraphernalia associated with the show. As a result we don't get the variety of shows we used to as only big companies like Disney can afford to bankroll new cartoons, and even then they are seriously budget constrained because if they overtly sell any toys based on the show or movie, then that very slim but extremely vocal subset of social media will lose its collective hivemind.
Destro was kinda positioned as a third party supplier who supported Cobra's ideologies but not methodology. He eventually is made to be an all-in cog of the organization, but a bit of his independence is always part of his character.
I remember I was counting the days for the debut of this on TV and I was so excited coming home from school. My heart was beating so fast when the intro started! haha
Mann i miss those days
This is to all of our Fighting Men and Women overseas, because They're the Real G.I Joes.
Yes! Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Flint, Lady Jaye, Gun-Ho, Roadblock, Spirit, Cover Girl, and Quick Kick, Stalker, Wild Bill, and Jinx!
Don't forget Hawk, Falcon, and Slaughter.
@@kidz4p509 We also got other Joes to bring up like Doc, Cutter, Bazooka, Alpine, Snow Job, Ace, Torpedo, Shipwreck, Mutt, Mercer, Lifeline, Low-Light, Mainframe, Sci-Fi, Breaker and many others too!
Duke, Airborne, Flash, Clutch, Zap, Short-fuse, Steeler, Breaker, Scarlett, Gung-Ho, Rock n’ Roll, Stalker, Snake-Eyes, Doc, Cover Girl, Thunder, Roadblock, Grunt, Recondo, Wild Bill, Flint, Lady Jaye, Spirit & Freedom, Mutt & Junkyard, Blowtorch, Cutter, Ripcord, Dusty, Barbecue, Alpine, Tripwire, Ace, Quick-Kick, Bazooka, Footloose, Shipwreck & Polly, Airtight, Cross-Country, Mainframe, Lowlight, Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Sgt. Slaughter, Wetsuit, Beachhead, General Hawk, Leatherneck, & Iceberg
@@Girard1020 A lot of those are my favorites Joes too
@@Girard1020 it took this far to get to recondo.
As a kid I always thought Duke was the quintessential American serviceman. When he grabs the American flag off the ground and raises it at the top of the Statue of Liberty, still gives me goosebumps as an adult!
Me to. I always get that chill and that warmth in my heart when I see the Flag and hear the theme song.
gawd bless AmeriKKKa...thank the indians for this land.
@@pepitotoro596 We do, every 4th Thursday of November. 👍🏻
Michael Bell, who played Duke, is very very aware of this. He’s a funny guy with a shockingly raunchy sense of humor, but he got real serious talking about all the grown men and women who have told him that Duke inspired them to join the military.
(Also, being told to “stand up straight, soldier!” in THAT voice was pretty cool.)
Plus what makes Duke so cool is how he inspires respect from even higher ranked brass even when he’s just a First Sergeant. It shows the kind of man he is and what kind of leader he is as well
Man, I feel so sorry for kids today because of the cartoons they're stuck with. Especially the boys.
Destro should fire his agent, they cut his name from the song!
I'm sure he will.
I always thought the original OP was the one saying "Cobra the Enemy" then was changed to "Cobra and Destro" because Destro was a breakout character.

OMG im so happy i grew up with all these classic cartoons. im like a kid again smiling and sinning along with each opening !
THIS ^^^ is what it's all about! Enjoy :-)
I’m crying like a lil’ beeotch! This shit hits the feels, especially considering this encouraged me to want to be in the military many years ago. YO JOE!
The last one was awesome! The two songs at the same time xD
I really don't know if a hang glider is an appropriate piece of transportation in a laser fight.
mrhaag lol 😂
sometimes ya just gotta say "Yooo Joe" and trust in life's unfolding
For SEALs? Green Berets? Rangers? Raiders? Weathermen? You would be right. But these are JOE's. Those other forces are where JOE washouts wind-up in humiliation.
@@ChaoticHoly I can't argue with that logic. Kudos.
Bravo
Cobra Commander disliked that video
XD destro too
Of course he did, lol🤣🤣!!
@@CJ_7519 As did the Baroness.
@@77J, you almost forgot Serpentor, Major Bludd, Zartan, and the rest of 'em!
I think all of Cobra disliked the video
80s was the best! kickass cartoons and songs, been going down this rabbit hole for about 3hrs🤘😄
I'm glad you are enjoying it! The toys, cartoons, and comics of the 80s were indeed the best!
Don't go down the real life rabbit hole or you'll be labeled a white nationalist domestic terrorist.
Ahh back in then good old days when cartoons weren't afraid to show extreme violence and explosions to sell a toyline, but nooooo now we have parental soccer moms crying apeshit over cartoon violence.
Extreme violence? Did you ever watch any of these cartoons? Literally no one ever died, and they made it a point to make sure you knew it.
@@redcomet_622 I know, I was meaning to reply to Raul
What do you mean "not afraid to show extreme violence?" You say that as if modern cartoons don't show worse violence. One of the best examples I can think of is Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which frequently showed clones dying in horrible ways.
@@MrWrongoStarr Season 2, they stopped showing parachutes when a plane would get shot down and they said the words, 'kill, dead" etc.
@@SylentEcho Couldn't even have actual gunshots show up on TV back then. Tired of all these nostalgists when it comes to cartoons.
Damn, I miss the 1980s!!
the best years of my life here in venezuela....watchin in latin american dub,and bought like crazy imported and local licensed action figures ,there is not a decade like the 80s,the best...
I love the international fan following that G.I.Joe was able to inspire. Yo Joe!
it was a great multi cultural influence like all the 80s memorabilia pal,haha totally agree with you,my favorite character is "spirit", it was a show without races barriers
My wife is from AUS but lives in New York City with me and her brother was a big fan of GI Joe too
@@3djoes 3Djoes, where you going?
@@besnikzogaj9887 please stop. I have to work.
GI Joe is the reason i went to the army from June 2003 to December 2007
I've met dozens, if not a hundred+ veterans that served because of G.I. Joe. The U.S. government should subsidize the brand as a recruiting tool!
It made me go Army also.
@@3djoes It likely WAS used as a great propaganda tool by the U.S government to bolster the number of volunteers who join the U.S military and it worked well until the WOKE crowd arose and messed things up.
And no damage to the Statue of 🗽. G I Joe is that damn good lol
These were a co-production of Sunbow and Marvel.
DairuggerXV I'm aware of that. But this cartoon was 'produced' by Sunbow/Marvel and NOT just Sunbow. (It didn't help that Sunbow on it's own had the distribution rights before TV Loonland and Sony got them). If anything it's probably Sunbow that worked closely with Hasbro, while Marvel provided the out sourced Asian contacts for the animation to be made overseas, since Marvel and Toei had a good working relationship since the 1978 tokusatsu adaptation of Spider-Man.
DairuggerXV That won't happen. There is no demand nor interest for that sort of thing.
All of you are wrong gi Joe is property and trademarked by Hasbro toie animation is Japanese marvels studio's doesn't own the show either
@Rodolfo A Now that is a GREAT idea. I'd like to see them incorporate the original, brilliant, Douglas/Walsh background musical themes and also keep the spirit of the original Toei animation as well.
Definitely my favorite cartoon growing up.
God I miss this era 😕 #GIJOE🇺🇸
I AM NOT CRYING!
Good thing I've watched the Snake Eyes movie to watch this series
This is the kind of music you have in the background while opening boxes of Pokemon cards.
Come on guys. As a 1980 baby, GiJoe was life. Yeah we Nintendo or Sega, but did u play for hours ? I didnt. I did have elaborate battles and ambushes from my kitchen to living room with my Joes/Cobra.
I was fortunate enough to get the Flagg for Christmas in 87. But I was to young to appreciate it. 88 89 90 I was really into GiJoe. Now watching these videos and toy reviews brings back great memories. I hope someone in Chicago has my USS Flagg on display.
WAUK-TOWN! YO JOE! ❤
Oh, 80s how much I miss you.
"COBRA! RETREAT! RETREAT!" - Chris Latta as Cobra Commander.
you can't say they didn't fill every second of screentime with as much action as possible.
The storyboard artists are the stuff of legends! Be sure to search for Debriefed Larry Houston and you’ll see an interview with one of them. He storyboarded the whole movie intro, which is the best 5 minutes of G.I.Joe animation ever.
@@3djoes noted!
I wasn’t born in the 80s but Jesus… I really wish I was born in that era
It was a damn good era to be in, my friend.
It was definitely different! 😊
1:34 you can't hide that perfect animation frame from me
Snake Eyes also does one at 6:12 but it's like 10 frames long
Man, fuckin Cobra ninja's cutting onions got me. So many good memories sitting with bowl of cereal watching this show. YO Joe!
Wow Glad I found these GI Joe intros. As a kid I loved all the GIJoe intros. The animation was fantastic. The revenge of cobra intro was my favorite aside from the movie intro.
0:39 As a kid, I always wondered why Stalker would throw his own bomb away and shoot it. Now realizing it was a cobra trooper's bomb
Ahh back in the days that cartoons taught a generation that it was good to be patriotic and to fight back against those that want to take away freedom.
very Awesome!... I thank you for this...
This week, I found out that Stanford University wants to ban the word "American" because they find it "offensive." Thank GOD I grew up in a time my own country didn't hate itself like it does now under these lunatics in "leadership." My kids will be raised on the stuff I was raised on. 100% AMERICAN, 100% awesome! A major tip of the hat to those Japanese animators who drew a lot of it.
ruclips.net/video/ox4IRQVGsBU/видео.html
Stanford and whatever school bans it are idiots for not teaching our student to love our imperfect yet still a good country that only us can make it better.
3:11 shows the intro from Season 2 first shown in Arise Serpentor Pt1.
THIS I COMMAND!!!
Aaahhhhh... The days when it was still conventional wisdom in the media and across the country that America stood for liberty and the defense of all human freedom.
Some of us haven't forgotten. We are the new generation of Joes.
Hustle up, Rawhides! YO, JOE!
Yeah things change when the President is a rich crook who bows to the Russians and his (twitter)feed sounds like it was run by Cobra Commander!
My favourite are the original and the movie themes
The best part of this video is from 0:00 - 7:22.
lol yes
I imagine if only the rebel alliance (Star Wars) had a daring highly trained special rebel mission force who could stay alive like G.I.JOE here!
I would've liked to see Earth in Star Wars.
@@stephenbyrne2170 Uhhh Star Wars was in a galaxy far far away remember?! lol
@@gibbs615 Yeah I don't believe that.
@@stephenbyrne2170 You saw it at the beginning of every SW movie!
@@gibbs615 Then why were the majority of the characters Human?
The attention to detail with every shot with GI Joe: The Movie... It must have taken quite a lot of work to put this opening sequence together.
It was storyboarded by Larry Houston, the first African-American cartoon storyboard artist working in Los Angeles at the time. he’s an amazing gentleman that I have had the pleasure of speaking with on a couple occasions. He went on to work on and direct X-Men, the animated series and many others.
I think the theme songs from the Hasbro 86 movies (Transformers, G.I Joe and MLP) were just the full themes of the cartoons
That's fucking awesome
Meaning?
@@stephenbyrne2170 nothing
I just think its cool
@@gavichealsomething2169 Enough said.
@@stephenbyrne2170 kk
guys please, i don't want to cry......this is me and my brother eating penult butter & jelly sandwiches. A special time period
I loved this show
Sunbow and *MARVEL!*
Openings 1 and 3 are iconic!
It’s funny how they play catch with Destro. Also, it so easy to throw Cobra around like a baseball.
I wonder if Sunbow hammered a deal with Vince McMahon's WWF for Sgt. Slaughter's likeness to have him there.
Sgt Slaughter first appeared in Rise of Serpentor.
@@magpatocx Ok.
Sgt. Slaughter actually left the WWF/E in the 80's around the time of GI Joe and would rejoin them in the Early 90's. But he had been a pretty famous wrestler since the mid 70's
@@Chalk0073 Yep.
The greatest animated intros of the 80's, and beyond imo. Too bad the mix is weird here, with the instrumentation/music too subdued and the sound effects too boosted.
When cartoons wasn't for pansies!!! Yo Joe!!!
Heys sjws here is some red white and blue toxic masculinity for ya!
Snowflake
If any of them were capable of hitting anyone with their guns that might have been more accurate.
Damn. I see I brought out some crybabies that who loved Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, and Sponge Bob. Which are cartoons for pansies. Thanks for proving my point.
@@paulirish4064 You got beat up a lot in school. I understand.
I low-key loved The Movie and am not ashamed to admit it. 🐍
Has anyone ever noticed that Overwatch is basically just a more futuristic GI Joe?
Flint or Duke: Soldier 76/Jack Morrison
Tracer: Scarlet
Mercy: Lifeline
McCree: Wild Bill
Doomfist: Serpentor
Widowmaker: The Baroness
Genji: Snake Eyes
Hanzo: Storm Shadow
Reinhardt: Roadblock
Reaper: Destro
Roadhog and Junkrat: The Dreadnocks
D.va: Shipwreck
Ana: Lady Jaye
Sombra: Zartan
Moira: Dr. Mindbender
I prefer Team Fortress 2 over that. Besides Genji is a mock up of Raiden The Cyborg Ninja of Metal Gear.
It feels like gi joe 2099 and that's why I love it.
YEAH I LOVE G. I JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO
recuerdos!
Best Classic Cartoon show ever
COOOOOBRAAAAAAA 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Why isn’t this America’s national anthem?
the original and the best
7:07 - An Real American Hero
Loved this cartoon! I still remember how no one ever died… they always managed to eject in time. And I thought stormtroopers had bad aim 😂🤣
Cobra soldiers aim worse than Stormtroopers.
@@kidz4p509 And that even includes the supposedly sophisticated and advanced B.A.T.s
Passing around Destro as a kid was very funny. :)
Good Stuff
aww i also liked the "got to get tough, yo joe!" theme.... #sad
Ah yes the DiC GI Joe where no one ever got punched.
And always have the battle!
Growing up is realizing how poorly some of the vehicles would perform in a real battle. That said...I still want a Skystriker
Yeah, a real American hero not international
It makes sense to have them go international from a marketing perspective.
I just realized that GI Joe's Navy portion only gets any credit in the movie
I may be misremembering, but I could have sworn the original theme song was completely different in the earliest episodes, with snare drums and piccolos.
That's the end credits.
According to the lyrics I guess up to the movie GI.Joe just let's Cobra dominate the seas.
Poor Destro... getting tossed around like a rag doll! 😂
Now we have peppa, bluey and block numbers....... Well it's time to me to took the control of what my daughter see on her screen time. Wish me look soldiers!
03:19 La parte de todos los intros que mas me gusta, es la del puñetazo del sargento Slaughter 👊 sin respetar ni los lentes del oponente 💥👓.
essa abertura sim e massa parabéns
Por esta serie de niño quería pertenecer a etas fuerzas especiales de élite, hasta la fecha del día de hoy.
😅👉👈
Lo más loco es que de grande y conociendo un poco de historia, esta serie era casi un calco de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El opening del minuto 3:12 es una buena analogía de3 lo que fue el Desembarco en Normandía. Hasta las estructuras de muros y castillos de Cobra, como sus uniformes, son parecidos a los de los Nazis. dE GRANDE UNO PIENSA "eSto estaba bien pensado" XD
The 1989-1991 DIC intros can be viewed here: ruclips.net/video/cWmFP4eZLXE/видео.html
Little known fact Cobra Island is a sovereign nation with clearly marked borders and air space. GiJoe broke international law by invading it unprovoked .
The last one, I thought "What is this? GI Joe The Musical?"
we need them more than ever!...Only they can save America from itself!!
Cobra with parachutes on helicopters. That tells you all you need to know
I had no clue cobra had a part of the song holy crap
Yeah that was the GI Joe movie intro. Extra special!
Wasn’t there an intro with stormshadow jumping down in the rain toward the camera? Maybe an outright?
I think that's in the closing!
4:13
Oh, HECK YEAH!!!!
I pray that God will allow me to get the whole collection of 80s toys back.
Destro was on equal billing with Cobra Commander?
Are the songs remastered or something?
Because I could swear I hear Automatic Gunfire as opposed to Laser Gunfire in the second opening.
Nope these are from the old Rhino DVDs that added in new loud sound effects they did the same to transfomers
Yo Joe!
YO JOE!
I would like to dedicate this to all of our fighting men and women overseas, because they're the real G.I Joes.
AMEN!
I grew up watching these cartoons. To end up serving our country for nearly 20 years and hear the theme song to the movie makes me tear up and damn near cry every time I hear it. On behalf of my brothers and sisters in arms to you all that truly support us...thank you. Yo Joe! YO JOE!!!
Yo Joe!!
Only Sargent Slaughter can jump from a moving vehicle and punch someone in the face
I dunno man, I kinda feel like Chuck Norris could pull it off too.... but it's definitely an elite move. :-D
Nostalgia, Oh I would Like to Dedicate This to All of our Fighting Men and Women overseas, Because They're the Real G.I. Joes. and They're Fighting for our Freedom.
