If you want to watch these episodes for FREE (and legally, ha ha!) these G.I. Joe episodes I watched and other episodes are available on Tubi. Free with ads. This is not sponsored, just spreading the love. YO JOE! tubitv.com/series/1074/gi_joe_a_real_american_hero_mini_series

[@alexanderthegangreviews5141]

Black Nerd Comedy hey Andre I loved gi joe. I had a lot of the action figures with the weapons that fire missiles and removable helmets ⛑. With the introduction of sgt slaughter (wwe hall of famer ) in the movie was amazing. I had so many figures but parents couldn’t afford the vehicles and my mom made bases out of cardboard boxes and it was amazing. Great review and I prob will download the game .

[@mathieuduval7544]

its kinda of important for a dude like you (733k subs) to talk about GI Joe, the Joes have to come back (movie/ cartoon/ toys) and we need all the help we can get ;) i know about the Snake Eyes movie and the rumors about a new toy line, but still...tubi doesn't have the REVENGE OF COBRA :( dont know why!?

[@Cranilla13]

I have all the episodes and movie on DVD! ^_^

[@Cranilla13]

You want another inconsistency? When Cover Girl is covering her mouth, there is are two Timbers! One with her the other in the Jeep. Pretty please watch more!

[@jgfear]

“ Don’t they know their dealing with...DESTRO ! “

[@Chef_PC]

I am continually impressed at the level of character and plot development in all of the old mid-eighties cartoons. Thundercats is very much like this too. There are so many intricate stories and details in even the minor plot lines and minor characters. He-man, Thudercats, GI Joe, Transformers...they all have educating storylines about how to treat people, ethics, morals, stuff kids need at a young age, and they do it in very adult ways that you don’t see in modern cartoons.

[@Moonbeam143]

Yeah! It's why I love old 80's cartoon! They were the best!

[@kamenwaticlients]

Yup they treated us like we had some brains back then. While selling us toys. My favorite was Robotech.

[@anthonymccall3064]

Our society is so scared to say things that need to be said now of fear of offending someone. Its more hindering than helping.

[@raphaelmarquez9650]

You clearly have not seen modern cartoons like MLP, Steven Universe, and She-Ra. They also have educating storylines about how to treat people, ethics, morals, stuff kids need at a young age, and do it in very adult ways. Old mid 80's cartoons were products of their time abiding to what was socially acceptable back then that today is viewed as outdated/nonsensical/harmful. Those PSAs they had back in the those days were added in to appease moral guardians who fear of their kids getting influenced by violent cartoons.

[@BrendanKOD]

Well part of it was a reaction to the success of the Star Wars toyline, which made toymakers realize that toy's attached to a storyline could sell much better than nameless generic toys. Which is where Marvel Comics came in, helping Hasbro come up with character names, character backstories, the existance of Cobra because badguy toys let kids play out battles with good guy's and bad guy's and more. Plus before the animated series, Hasbro was so gung ho about the storyline that before the toy specific commercials, they arranged for ads for the Marvel Comics as a workaround the standards saying "don't do that sort of things in ads for toys."

[@geardog24]

Nothing beats the G.I. Joe animated movie intro. _Cobra_ *_COBRA_*

[@nerychristian]

The Rambo animated movie was also pretty cool.

[@TheDreMacShow]

Yes that intro song is so dope!!!

[@ScooterinAB]

Yeah, that's a bitchin' intro.

[@matelego130]

Transformers

[@talkanders6058]

I agree completely. So much great over the top action. When it ends, you start to walk away until you remember "oh, that epic statue of liberty battle... was just the intro".

[@washnunya]

I like how when people called them out for no one getting shot in a military show, Hasbro introduced battle android troopers so gi joe could actually shoot an enemy without killing someone.

[@amead78]

I grew up coming home from school and watching GI Joe and Transformers. Best times ever!

I know this was sponsored, but I’d love more 80’s cartoon reviews. G.I. Joe or otherwise.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

There will be both sponsored and non-sponsored ones ha ha! Just might have sponsors so that I don't have to worry about claims from KZbin.

[@goldenbrowngod]

"They can't hit Duke" um wait until the movie I'd like to see you do more videos looking back at old cartoons. I'd like to see you go over the 2nd mini series and maybe check out the old Marvel comics.

[@jamespero6803]

The cobra castle wasnt a playset but god i wish it was.. We got the terrordrome instead but thankfully that was just as epic

[@VoltLives]

You should do one on the GI Joe Transformer crossover that happens in a Transformers cartoon, it has an old Cobra commander. Glorious 80's cheese.

[@Tripleg211]

Andre this Video is Dope, I love the commercial break!!!! Great Job bro

[@TheLazyShell]

This was an extremely fun watch, Andre! I know very little about G.I. Joe (wasn't ever a franchise I had much interest in), so having you lay out essentially an entire generation's introduction to it in your very "you" style was a really enjoyable way to experience it without putting all the time into watching it. I'd love you to do more animation videos like this! (I'd personally be really excited to see you cover the various TMNT knock-off shows from back in the day like Street Sharks and Biker Mice and Mighty Ducks. Maybe you could even do a little ranking at the end to show which one you liked best of them!)

[@anthonywheeler2082]

This was awesome! I hope you do more of them too. Thundercats and Ninja Turtles episode reviews would be great too

[@piyakhebisonii1001]

You should totally do these shows of the past! You were built for this! Those old shows were pretty good, even though they were selling toys!!

[@scottwhite4722]

Brilliant! Do it, do it, do it! Make it a series bro! Excellent breakdown. Dang funny too! Love your G.I.Joe battle cry with fist pump. Great Cobra Commander voice too. Do ALL the Joe series up to the movie!!!!! I'm serious. We'll be expecting it!

[@ceasergomez4156]

Yes Andre please do more of these. This video was very entertaining.

[@codybratsch]

PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!!! THIS WAS A BLAST!!!!

Please review more G.I.Joe episodes (and the animated movie) also review Transformers, The Centurions, Bravestarr, The Real Ghostbusters, Silverhawks and Thundercats

[@ariesthe12th]

Love that Destro impression.

[@PetePuebla]

I hear they're going to do the MCU treatment with GI Joe by introducing all these different characters with their own movies like snake eyes for 1 and then don't have the combination of them all together in an ensemble which will be called GI Joe where they fight cobra.

[@erikdraven1731]

If they ever rebooted the cartoon, you should definitely audition for the voice of Cobra Commander. Loved it, and am now thinking about calling in sick so I can re-watch said episodes.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Aww thanks! COOOOOBRA!

Also, isn’t it funny that it was only a few days ago paramount announced shooting for the snake eyes movie would happen soon? Anyways have a great day! Yo joe!

[@skabcat242]

[@kenshinro7]

Hey Andre awesome job. Could you do inspector Gadget and the original thundercats etc... I think that a lot of people don't realise how awesome inspector gadget was.

[@OneRedRocket]

Would Love To See You Review The Other 5 Episodes

[@wmoreland06]

Love the self made commercial... it was hilarious

[@GangstaMojo]

Oh and do the Smurfs and The Magic Flute for 1986

[@tygriss1]

Can you watch and talk about He-man and the masters of the universe,SilverHawks, M.A.S.K,TurboTeen, ThundersCats,GoBots,TigerSharks.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on more G.I. Joe, as well as other series. I suggest "The Transformers" as your next show. Ignoring (for a moment) that I'm a Transformers fanboy, it is one of the iconic 80's cartoon series that is still going strong. Not alone, of course, and I know that it means more Hasbro/Marvel/Sunbow, but I just think it makes for a good "baseline", as it were. Then see about other big, 80's action series, comedies, etc.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I thiiiiiink once we get out of "let's make this cool, standalone mini-series" and into "we need 247 episodes of this YESTERDAY"-territory, some of that bloom might come off...that having been said, I'd love to watch it realtime. That having been said, apparently there ARE still some standouts from the series, so... YO JOE! YO NERD! MORE JOE!

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Yeah, mass producing can sometimes cause some fillers, but I definitely had a good time watching these first episodes. And TubiTV.com has a bunch of episodes for free with ads. tubitv.com/series/1074/gi_joe_a_real_american_hero_mini_series

[@phil4real996]

Great review Andre! Could you review Beetlejuice the Animated Series? I have the box set and watching it as an adult l realized how cleaver the writting was. Some of the puns are borderline inappropriate at times...but i can pick up on them now. Lol

[@loons13]

F.Y.I G.I Joe get it's name from the 1945 movie "The story of G.I.Joe" staring Burgess Meredith ( the Penguin from the 60's Batman) and Robert Mitchum. Now you know and knowing is half the battle!

[@LatinSith]

loons13 And it was no coincidence that Meredith voiced Golobulus in the 1987 G.I.JOE movie.

[@BossKnightFilms]

Some obvious suggestions would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Smurfs. I think it'd be cool to see you react to the Smurfs.

[@tdtellem]

Definitely do more G.I. Joe!!!

[@alonzohall8939]

Great review!!!!! Do the series it would be great. Also the the creation of serpentor & cobra la story line. now you know & knowing is half the battle.yo Joe!!! Keep it up!!!

[@Stevenbuttry]

Have you ever revisited the 2003 ninja turtles series? That's the one i grew up on and it is arguably the best series of the franchise in my opinion. It's on paramount plus i believe( ahem, possible video sponsor)

[@mgreene300]

60s Joe used to smash Barbies. Poor 80s Joe's weren't even tall enough to get a sniff

[@JohnnyREB1977]

I'd love to see you watch more G.I. Joe. But, man, I'd love to see your thoughts/reaction to He-Man and the Masters of The Universe's episode "The Problem with Power."

[@ghostbusterguy20011]

G.I. Joe had 4 minni series before the movie happened Real American Hero Revenge of Cobra Pyrimid of Darkness and Arise Serpentor arise then G.I. Joe the movie. Personly my favorite was a two part series called world's without end check it out ! Yo Joe!

[@SamsTangledWeb]

Awesome review!! 😎👍

[@GangstaMojo]

Okay the next 5 parter you should do is the GI Joe: Revenge of Cobra then do GI Joe: Arise Serpentor Arise and then finish up with GI Joe the movie. Then we can move into some Thunder Cats probably sprinkle in some inhumanoids.

[@LatinSith]

King Mojo Don't forget "The further adventures of G. I. JOE" aka "Pyramid of Darkness" miniseries from 1985.

[@MrOmari-wp1of]

GI Joe and Thunder cats should be friends.

[@jamiebraswell5520]

The MASS Device miniseries was pretty good for a kids cartoon. I have the DVD and while goofy, it is still fun. After that, it got a lot goofed and was never as good again as those first five. Just my opinion. I liked the original design of Baroness based on the Marvel comic book, before they ever made a figure of her.

[@seanholmes7482]

Do you think Paramount would have done a better job appealing to a movie G. I. Joe audience if they used Scar (from G. I. Joe Extreme) instead of Cobra, emulated the movie Expendables (by using an increase amount of Hollywood stars), and released it between 2004 & 2005? You also mentioned that when the Joes were released to toys and comics that it worked in unison with something else; was that "something else" Action Man? Did Action Man have a role in the 80s G. I. Joe cartoon "romanticize" Lady Jaye? Lastly, was the scene you described, showcasing Duke being controlled by Cobra, similar to the movie Gamer?

[@TheXXIV]

would you do the first few episodes of the 80's transformers? would love your opinion on it!

[@FIDreams]

00:24 and yet my Dad didn't raise a Sh** storm about why His G.I.Joe were now only 4 Inches, What the Hell is Cobra, and FU son I'm not going to buy you any of these action figures till they change it back to when I was growing up. Sound Familiar?

That intro to G.I.JOE the animated feature was so freaking incredible epic. " Crashing through the sky, comes a fearful cry.. Cobra!... Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Armies of the night, evil taking flight, Cobra!.. Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, panic spreading far and wiiide who can turn the tide?... * shoots Major Bludd* GIJOE!! ". Hells yeah, that is an intro.

[@rubyredjewel6222]

[@bluecat42]

I always love your energy when you talk about these nostalgic things, especially when you get enjoyment out of what you're doing a video on. I'd love to see you continue this concept, and a lot of people before me have listed some good/great ideas. For me, since I didn't see anyone else bring it up-It'd be a lot of fun and hilarity if you ever chose to do something like this for the OG My Little Pony animated series. That first movie (the one with Firefly and the seaponies, and those...dark dragon-like steeds? It's been a while since I watched it XD) still holds pretty decently, but trying to go back and watch the other MLP stuff that came after it...I'm certain you'd have a blast with it. I'd also love to see your take on more obscure 80s stuff, like Popples, Pound Puppies, Moon Dreamers, Glow Friends (?), Snorks, Teddy Ruxpin, Potatohead Kids, Snorks, etc. The list could go on.
