Samurai Pizza Cats intro and credits in HD quality

I did the voice of the BIG Cheese and recorded this Higher than a kite at the Saban studios that day. in the late 80s. We never knew at the time it would become such a cult hit. They wanted me to do Paul Lynde. I didn't use my name and said use GOOGIE GOMEZ ( from the RITZ)

[@andrewneedham2708]

Let’s be real, your preformance as Big Cheese carried the show.

[@DBWalks2010]

Agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@maxnum1sgameclub263]

... Amazing how a character of that nature was done so well in the 80's - 90's. These days its not fun just preachy, then again is is 100% anime goodness ^^.

[@trentstrickland3534]

"Read all the credits so you know who did the work!" That still makes me laugh decades later.

[@vyxairotciv4333]

San Diego ... In the late 90s it was on for a year then this show like disappeared.... I loved this show.

[@RocStarr913]

It was likely not very popular then.

Discovered this show back when I was in 8th grade (several years ago) on KZbin, and the theme song got me hooked! It's so delightfully wacky!

I’m downright amazed the English dub aired first in the UK and Canada before it ever aired in America

[@JulianR2JG]

Wasn't this dub produced in Canada or something

[@RocStarr913]

@@JulianR2JG Yes, it was. But the North American distribution was by Saban, which is an American company.

One of the most iconic characters that even to this day I still bring up! I even try to do my own voice for Big Cheese, thank you Michael!

[@mdswitchy378]

The guy singing sounds like escargoon

[@David_Downs]

I always assumed this was written after a night of B-52s. That poke at the ninja turtles too!. Such an amazing theme.

[@David_Downs]

But really, i think this is like they ask for Paul Lynde and you gave them Fred Schneider.

[@brundle551]

I loved this cartoon so much as a kid and you clearly really went for it with this performance so thank you for making my childhood a bit better than it might have been.

[@laserhawk64]

Do you remember the dialogue at the end of the two-parter where the Cats get the Supreme Catatonic robot? The bit about how it came from "a civilization so advanced, it blew itself out of existence"...? _I_ remember that line. It was 1998, and I was twelve. My brain began to spin and whir... "Civilizations don't just... blow themselves away, because of how advanced their tech is!" I thought. "Wait -- I wonder what a civilization like that would... be like?" I started exploring, and creating a character -- and a race -- around that... lore happened, although I didn't know that word yet. It wouldn't be till sometime in high school, somewhere between 2001 and 2003, when I'd discover that there were others who, like me, were deeply interested in races and even whole universes of animal people... and it wasn't until after I'd left college that I really got involved in the Furry Fandom. I'm 37 now, I'll be 38 this June. I'm disabled -- always have been -- but I'm also an artist, a computer nerd, and I swear someday I'll be a writer if I can just get past Chapter Four! and I owe quite a lot of who I am to that dialogue in that scene and what came out of it. My life kind of blew up and fell apart all at once when my mother got very ill in mid-to-late 2007. I eventually had to move out, we couldn't deal with each other any more. I'm neither proud nor ashamed to admit -- after all, such things just kind of are in some folks' lives -- there's a lot of damage there. I have a few friends, furries as well, all of them -- we kind of support each other through our own various issues. I never knew your name, even though I have the DVD box set. I'm going to do my best to remember it -- forgive me, please, if I forget, I have ADD memory issues, amongst many others. I'd love to meet you someday, shake your hand, show you some of the art and writing I've done -- art and writing that happened because of the show you were a part of. Thank you, sir.

[@miketesh-ff5rd]

Aww bless them ❤❤

[@NorthSea_1981]

This show was also quite popular here in Germany…I absolutely loved it. The German dub was just as good as the English one, with so much improvisation, tons of innuendo and intelligent & satirical stuff thrown in.

[@tigerqueen007]

You were Big Cheese?! That's awesome!!

[@EccentricGentelman]

That fan club oath still gets me.

[@Squidward2004]

Very catchy

[@Reqqles]

to this day the opening theme is my ringtone. This was one of the first non-Looney Tunes cartoons I was exposed to that was more about cramming in jokes than cramming in toy sales and I hold it and you all responsible for my first steps into developing my sense of humor. Thank you and everyone else who was involved with this gem!

[@lukepierce7731]

I only ever got to see this show once before my horrified parents banned it. The theme just stuck in my mind forever.

[@susanfit47]

Does anyone have a Charleston, South Carolina TV-Guide from the late 1990’s (1997) that mentions “Samurai Pizza Cats”? I want to see proof that they aired in my state (if they did or so). It used to came on WTAT Fox 24 from 1996 to 1997.

I didn't grow up with this show, but I saw a bunch of the episodes on KZbin about ten-ish years ago in my first year of college and became obsessed ❤ Thank you for uploading this! Also it's awesome to see you're into drag! I guess it makes sense! I realized I was a trans woman a couple of years ago but when I first discovered Samurai Pizza Cats I was still so in denial/oblivious that I didn't connect the dots that Big Cheese was supposed to sound like a drag queen. Here's to expressing yourself and having fun!

[@Mustadio]

Lol after all these long years I notice that the first notes of the theme are a reference to chinese stereotype music and not japanese lmao.

Only in the theme song, not in the show.

I still don't understand why they turned Ko'on into a rat in the dub, even with the script lost and everything. He still looks overwhelmingly like a fox and nothing like a rat.
