[@chuckalakatoob]

The fact that nearly all the teens didn't know what Dragon Ball was hurts me internally, spiritually and physically.

[@nikhilmanuel5641]

Fr though even lanky super is still going on

[@meowfrav]

And He Man

[@Joshuahaha.]

Bro he said Naruto 💀💀💀

[@grayfoxplayer2182]

I think the same......

[@jackjuniorespinozaflores2210]

Dont be sad at least we still have all the teens from latinoamerica lol

[@slashermaster28]

"But they catch the animals in balls, right?" I love how even the host is just like 'Did he really just say that?'

[@RecruitedAndrew]

as a dragon ball fan, that hurt.

[@StonyOnYoutube]

Saying Digimons are kept in balls is not less insulting

[@React]

I couldn't believe my ears - Sierra

[@1985toyotacamry]

@@StonyOnKZbin if anything it's more insulting. I'm like seriously.

[@RichO1701e]

Anyone else remember Monster Rancher?

[@yourlocalcommenter6104]

3:48 "Narutoo???" How have you not seen Goku in your life before man. Legit knew it was DB just from his appearance.

[@Geggy0815]

42 years old and still get goosebumps from the He Man intro. 😀

[@camaro88rds]

Much respect to Jaxon for knowing almost all of these. I loved these shows growing up. No they aren't just about fighting bad guys either. They had a lot of life lessons in each episode that kids can learn from.

[@bkdmode]

Now they know, and knowing is half the battle!

[@Alex90680]

I’m only halfway into the video and I can already say that Jaxon ROCKS for knowing his cartoon roots. I salute ya if you’re reading this 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@giornogiovanni610]

He is a legend ..he is also the only one who chose the oldest song for try not to sing .

[@crosenblum]

Respect to both Jaxson's knowing the theme skills and his singing/rocking out to them lol!

[@ashleemarie9939]

I love Jaxon! Love how he knows not only the shows but the theme songs! He's one of my favourite reactors not only on this channel but on PVF

[@rhismamuchtar9657]

I loved how Jaxon always sing the theme song, He know the show perfectly. chef kiss 😙

[@AceOfSpadezCC]

He has awesome parents.

[@SparklySquares169]

3:46 I can't believe I saw someone look at Dragon Ball, call it Yu Gi Oh, and then describe Beyblade. 😂 Thats awesome!

[@soulextracter]

"Use the force Harry" -Gandalf [Picture of Jean-Luc Picard]

[@healwarden]

Jaxon is totally an honorary 80’s kid

[@1999Elias]

0:38 You can't not love Jaxon xD he nailed the dance from the meme

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

"I... pound." Sierra's reaction to Jaxon was too damn funny!

[@Notemelater]

They fact they all didn't know Dragon Ball hurt my soul

[@sergiodoubleshot7576]

Jaxon is so good lol, dude saved this episode

[@wilnonajaye6553]

I missed Jaxon, Jaxon is just generationally cultured like that

[@warriorbard]

Jaxon gets aaaaallllll the points for being so well-versed in some of the best cartoons ever made. Now, how about going a wee bit back to the 60s and 70s and have them guess shows like The Jetsons, The Flintstones, The Alvin Show, Underdog, The Peter Potamus Show, Atom Ant, and Johnny Quest?

[@lilmomo6482]

The fact that he/ she said "Naruto?" ......... Dear Lord give me patience

[@SamanthaScreem]

The fact that she called Dragon Ball Yu-Gi-Oh then described Beyblade and called it Dragon Ball Z 😂

[@ieyke]

I award Jaxon 100,000 points, and declare him the final winner of all React. He has mastered the recognition and recitation of legendary cartoon themes - the most important of all skills.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Jaxon jamming out to the DuckTales theme is a total mood!

[@brasschuckles3138]

It’s crazy how kids now dislike cartoons or music from the past “it’s timey stuff” we loved our parents cartoons, shows and most music.

[@aileenhernandez9647]

I’m astounded how these kids pointed out that 80s cartoons “fight the bad guy”. Made me realized that it no longer exists in today’s animation what with “complicated characters” and remakes like Cruella and Maleficent taking center stage. Reflects the concept of todays values and moralities. 😢😢😢

[@GFM1980]

Sierra's reaction to jaxon's skeletor joke was priceless

[@CykeGames]

The amount of people that missed Dragonball causes me pain

[@uchihaadam5470]

Bro dragonball is not cartoon lol

[@dallama2616]

​@@uchihaadam5470 anime is just Japanese animation. you know what another word for televised animation is? cartoons

[@DREAMZERO]

@@uchihaadam5470 it is. Animes are literally Japanese CARTOONS

[@Machiatto13]

Jaxon makes me believe in reincarnation. he must have lived a life before

[@broEye1]

Sees Dragon Ball, thinks it's Yu-Gi-Oh. Then tries to describe Yu-Gi-Oh but instead describes Beyblade, but thinks that Beyblade was Dragon Ball Z. The meme is REAL!!!

[@GizmoHibiki]

He-Man has been in so many memes, they have no excuse not knowing who he is.

[@aniflowers1998]

Jaxon just vibing to the Duktales opening is the best thing in this entire video xD

[@Vinciini83]

Huh, I'm actually surprised that Care Bears didn't show up.

[@edwardgill1882]

I like how the kid mentioned the lack of pixelating. Does he not know that cartoons used to be hand-drawn and recorded on film?

[@average-art3222]

especially how they mark press the images too

[@TheQuestionmarkstudi]

I feel like you have an hour of footage of Jaxon vibing to the Ducktales theme song lol.

[@donnabreedlove6862]

Love how Jaxon knew most of the theme songs too! He was amazing!

[@TattooedTownie]

Us 80s kids are completely desensitized to violence, for a reason 😆

[@jinakaye]

Jem & the Holograms, Rainbow Brite, Muppet Babies (too easy), The Littles, Ewoks, Denver the Last Dinosaur…all 80s classics!

[@PhantomBugler]

Don't forget Voltron, M.A.S.K., Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, DinoSaucers, SilverHawks, Bravestarr and about a dozen others that have been all but forgotten (i.e. Inhumanoids, Centurions and Visionaries).

[@ngo7156]

And She-Ra! ; )

[@Swolfie_]

My dude Jaxon never lets me down!!!!

[@tanyamyers1637]

Jaxon needs extra points for singing the theme songs.

[@Bigheadtalking]

I am beyond disappointed in these kids for not knowing what Dragon Ball is!!

[@LeoStorm007]

Jaxon seems like he would make a great voice actor in anime/animated shows.

[@Zeishiki]

I kind of wanted to see Gummy Bears and possibly Teddy Ruxpin. And also maybe M.A.S.K. and Go-Bots.

[@FFXIII2Lightning]

Sierra rockin out with Jaxon was such a mood 🤣👏 Jaxon singing Ducktales yaaaass

[@katpocalypsemeow4554]

So proud of Jaxon for knowing all of these =^.^=

[@ThisIsAigle]

A five hour game . . . yeah just to build your character.

[@daniel_rossy_explica]

You can roll your character to build it faster.

[@ThisIsAigle]

@@daniel_rossy_explica Congrats on missing the joke. Is it just this one, or do you fail at it with all of them?

[@daniel_rossy_explica]

@@ThisIsAigle I did get the joke, I just wrote what you can do to build it faster (at least in 3.5ed). It doesn't mean you will get a good character, tho.

[@Raziel21]

We need more of the host lady vibin to the theme songs and making those faces when the kids mix up shows.

[@Zer0Cracker]

Oh man how can you not know Ducktales and Dragonball that's embarrassing 😅

[@kaelijimenez7665]

…yeah :(

[@BelladonnaXIII]

Jaxon was raised right.

[@TheSamurairemote]

I really got a headache when they didn’t get Dragonball. Like I felt it all in my right side of my head.

[@BillMoman]

Correct - 80s had a lot of fighting and violence in cartoons and GUESS WHAT - we didn't turn out to be violent and murderers. We knew right from wrong and knew the difference between a cartoon and real life

[@jyl11002]

How did they completely miss dragonball? At least a guess like dragonball z?

[@Ruunako]

"dnd isnt that a 5 hour game?" Me: *laughs in 2 year long campaign*

[@darkmaster1201]

I'm so proud of Jaxon. His parents raised him well. I'm not saying the other teens are bad kids but, to not even recognize Dragon Ball....

[@fabulousat40beauty]

The kid singing and did the skeletor voice was raised right lol 😂

[@randomlibra]

Jaxon was killing it! But isn't he an adult now? Or 18-19 and fudging the teen thing? lol

[@haze_bionic]

Hes like 17 or 16

[@debbiesmith3443]

He-Man had a sister named She-Ra also had a spin-off cartoon from the show. DuckTales#80 cartoons🥰

[@kylerippenhagen1052]

Imagine talking about dragon ball and thinking it’s yugioh and then thinking yugioh is beyblades. My brain hurts

[@cowzilla8]

I was hurting internally from listening to that.

[@Samuitsuki]

I was also confused then they started naming series that first came out at the end of the 90's.

[@uniqueflowsnake]

duck tales theme is still a bop

[@TwistedWrister82]

Part 2: Mask, GI Joe, DinoSaucers, CareBears, Ghostbusters, TurboTeen, Inspector gadget, Voltron, Heathcliff, Snorks, Beetlejuice, Pound Puppies, rainbow Brite, Dennis the menace, fat Albert, danger mouse, jem, and count duckula. The 80s were great!

[@spike3082]

agreed

[@paranormalelizabeth]

A Pup Called Scooby Doo, Gummy Bears, Rescue Rangers, Shirt Tales and the Wuzzles.

[@JNorman8219]

I'm like yelling at the a screen( how do you not know this) lol

[@BeamFox311]

When the kid said "Michael Bay sucks at making these movies", I stood up out of my chair and applauded the screen. Nothing beats the original Transformers.

[@fRikimaru1974]

That Jaxon guy knows a lot of them 😄

[@TofuCate]

3:53 That one hurt. Says Yu-Gi-Oh and describes Beyblade and then later says that's Dragonball Z when the poster she's looking at is literally Dragonball

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

Brainy Smurf is my favorite Smurf! Why can’t the other Smurfs give him the respect he deserves.?!

[@jordihiggins8204]

Everyone singing duck tales word for word. Meanwhile anais struggling to remember if Scrooge is Donald’s dad😂😂

[@stevenbaker107]

Jaxon does have a great singing voice

[@kally0208]

There could easily be a part 2... I was waiting for Rainbow Brite, Care Bears, GI Joe, Captain Planet... Can go on and on...

[@jlhabitan50]

When I think of Rainbow Brite, I weirdly only think of Joel McHale. Go figure. Haha

[@cheezyb92]

We need every wrong DragonBall answer compiled as a short bc I was DYING of laugher.

[@guillaumejoop6437]

Sees Dragon Ball, says it's YuGiOh, describes Beyblade... OMG

[@yoshimilotus_kayleidoscope]

Jaxon singing every theme song is the biggest vibe ever! 😂🤣☠️🥰🫶

[@joeywilczak1468]

I wasn't ever born in the 80s and most of this actually hurt me

[@LarryDevaun]

They should all have gotten HE-MAN considering the shows been rebooted 3 times on Netflix.

[@ashleychanforever]

Jaxon singing Fabulous Secret Powers made me smile

[@LandonStevens]

This video is as hilarious. Between the badass teens in the duck tales choir to the hard pause, cold stare and “…are you referring to Pokémon?” I nearly choked on air

[@BibinRCBabu]

I wanna meet Jaxon's parents, sit down and ask some questions. Parenting done right !

[@hiphopkillen14]

Jaxon must be a man of culture . Ok he got one wrong but I did not know the show exist ether

[@UltimateGamerCC]

yeah D&D wasnt on very long, 24 eps in total across two seasons, there's also a fanmade series finale that was based off an unused script here on youtube.

[@Pauly00001]

Jem? Rainbow Brite? Care Bears? Gummi Bears? Inspector Gadget? Muppet Babies? You definitely should do a part 2.

[@gamerbear84]

Oh yeah, there is plenty to do one or two more on before stuff even starts getting obscure.

[@onlyamberrr9635]

Jaxon and jaden are my dudes!! They know the good stuff. I grew up with these shows. I was like 10 in the early 2000s but i loved them

[@highsmitht]

I’m only 37 and these kids making me feel old and irritated

[@deathemotion4324]

I’m so disappointed in them for not knowing it was dragon ball like goku solo memes and dragon ball is so iconic I thought everyone knew it just by hearing a sliver of its name guess I’m wrong 😭

[@DAFORCEFilms]

The fact they couldn’t get Dragon Ball is crazy to me, even if they just guessed Z, GT, or Super. Goku is an icon that transcends anime. It’d be like if these kids didn’t know who Mickey or Mario were.

[@shantanunish955]

Ok but Jaxon singing and vibing to the intros was the BEST thing abt this entire video Also did that kid call Nimbus a fart cloud....wtf

[@XavierShade]

Jaxson killing all the opening songs is the best! It was fun singing along.

[@minenoturs4271]

8:09

[@Nipon07]

That dude who keep saying they fight bad guys, I just wanna ask him which superhero doesn't fight bad guys!

[@mhaywood6194]

Where was GI Joe: A Real American Hero?? It's how we learned that battles consist of 25% Red lasers 25% Blue lasers and 50% Knowing

[@sj4iy]

Born in the 80s, knew all of these immediately. Seriously, though, how do kids not know Dragonball?

[@Cobra3111]

I am still trying to figure that one out

[@Kezh.]

"Heheheh Prepare Your Balls He-Man Before I Pound"-Jaxon

[@maxcanonstunner6532]

As an 2000 adult, it hurts my 80's inner self of me for them to not get these lol

[@thomasecker9405]

I'm not going to lie. The only one of these I didn't know was the Dungeons & Dragons show. I knew literally everything else.

[@buddythedog7683]

I'm 10 years old and I got more right answers than most of the teenagers,that's just sad 😔

[@trelomaniak]

I didn't expect this kid's to sound like old people mixing up shows and complain about violence We live in a weird era

[@jeremiahscott2032]

8:46 “Ohhhh they were kids” literally called *teenage* mutant Ninja turtles 😂 Btw I know she was talking about the baby turtles, but it’s still funny 😆

[@I.am.Iain-81]

No CGI, all hand drawn animation... Will never be another decade for cartoons like the 80s 🤘

[@Juggtacula]

He called Dungeons & Dragons a Legend of Zelda knockoff...I can't even.

[@EPICMAN_3D]

I'm younger than all theses guys and I know every single one 😂😂😂

[@selene674]

yes, and i have my father to thank for educating me on the 80s

[@Kruppt808]

That dungeons and Dragons stumped me, I never remember seeing it anywhere

[@levimagic3542]

In part 2 you should have DARKWING DUCK in it

[@Creamside405]

It hurt when some of them didnt get dragon ball

[@newcart1]

The fact that they said DBZ is YGO is making me wanna send them to the shadow realm

[@kevinDMC12]

jaxon is a young man of culture, love that guy

[@RichO1701e]

As a 38yr old millennial, these kids hurt.

[@octa8939]

All this video really hurt

[@MikaChan03]

YES!🖐🏽YES!🖐🏽YES!🖐🏽 37, but YES!

[@demascus3vods]

"isn't dnd like a five hour game?" Oh you dear, innocent child

[@conndor2753]

(Dragonball pops up) Me: Oh, come on, there's no WAY someone will get this one wr-- Danny: NARUTO?

[@wajiro9967]

Cuz these reacts are totally staged haha, there's always one or two persons 'seemingly' living under a rock and not knowing the cartoon, even the most famous ones Like why Danny dropped in a dozen of anime but not knew about Dragon Ball? Also the same Danny accidentally raised the curtains of the "stage", as at first he didn't know about The Smurfs and then explaining it was the only 'religion-friendly' cartoon that he was watching back in the days
