Loading Cartoon Internet Memes circa early 2000's.........

The early Internet meme's are well documented. But I wanted to bring some light to the one's I thought were more hilarious when they went viral in the early 2000s. As a child of the 80s, when the first 80s cartoon parodies went live, I thought it was hysterically brilliant. From bloopers to "porkchop sandwiches", the one's below made me LOL and ROFL.

These were the the first viral vids for Generation X. C'mon, if you remember these you know they still give you a chuckle 10 years later. First up, Thundercats blooper reels. There was no YouTube back in the day. These videos propogated and were sent via .mov or swf exe files via e-mail.

To hear Lion-O, Panthro and Mumm-ra curse was unbelievably funny. Hell I hear it now and it's fuckin hysterical. Good times.





Up next, all the videos from the GI Joe PSA spoofs by Fenslerfilm. The "porkchop sandwiches" one is by far the best and still cracks me up to this day. If you remember the first time you saw these, raise your hand.

"Porkchop Sandwiches"





More GI Joe. OMG, I remember when we'd quote this shit left and right and start cracking up during way important meetings.

"I'm a computer"





Body Massage....umm nuff said.





When he calls him "blanco nino" I lose my bowels.





Yeah it doesn't make sense. That's why it's awesome.

"Reggae"




Poor Spirit. Can you believe his eagle was named "Freedom"??? That's so ironically wrong.

"Campfire"



And finally, the Superfriends dubbed with the Budweiser Waaaassssup True commercial. Still a classic.





So what other early Cartoon Internet meme's do you all remember? What's your earliest recollection of Internet meme's. If one of you says Rebecca Black, I'm offically banning you from the site.

The WTF List: G.I. Joe Edition

As I am a child of the 80s, it was 100% certain that I was going to see G.I. Joe. So when I did, I went in with low low low expectations. But that won't stop me from giving you a list of WTF moments I had while watching this flick. It was inevitable that if you grew up watching the 80s cartoon and reading some of the comics, you'd be scratching your head and cursing a mile a minute.

I don't like reviewing mainstream Hollywood films so this is similar to my Fuck You Chev Chelios! My thoughts on Crank 2 post.

So here we go. Yo Joe! [Spoilers ahoy!]

1.) Snake Eyes has a fuckin mouth?!?
2.) Scarlett's uniforms are all standard issue right?
3.) Dude! It really is that kid from 3rd Rock from the Son playing Cobra Commander...sigh
4.) Fuck you Zartan! You guaranteed a fuckin sequel
5.) Isn't the Baroness Russian?!? Sigh
6.) Isn't Destro black?!? Double Sigh
7.) OMG was that really Brendan Frasier as Flint?!? Triple Sigh
8.) The airplane Ripcord uses is an homage to that plane that Cobra had with the small plane mounted on top...remember that?
9.) Jeezus...Rachel Nichols keeps getting hotter in every scene
10.) HAHAHAHA...poor Cover Girl
11.) So anybody with a big powerful drill can just bust into Joe HQs?
12.) I love the first meeting of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Did you see that 3 second flashback?!? Let me repeat that. It was a 3 second initial flashback.
13.) That kid on kid fight scene may have been the greatest kid on kid fight scene I've ever seen.
14.) Duke is a fuckin pussy
15.) I turned off my brain for the flick, but isn't it hard to have an underwater battle war?
16.) Did he really say "Knowing is half the battle"??? (see illustration below)

17.) Where's your elite soldiers France? Huh??
18.) Why is Cobra Commander's voice reversed with Destro's?
19.) I got Jungle Fever...you got Jungle Fever...!
20.) Best intro of a character: Dr. Mindbender

It is what it is. A summer bubblegum popcorn and peanuts action flick. All I asked for was they put a fuckin PSA during or at the end of the credits? Was that too much to ask?

G.I. JOE: Cold Slither (A Forgotten Classic Joe Episode)

"Cold Slither, you'll be joing us soon. A band of vipers playin' a tune."

You've probably seen the movie by now (I haven't yet) and are now researching the shit out of the old GI Joe episodes. There a ton of classic episodes from the series I watched (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero) but besides the Weather Domintator, the DNA shopping to make Serpentor and countless others the episode "Cold Slither" is truly a classic.

It has classic Joe moments. An outrageous Cobra Commander plot to rule the world, a special guest appearance by Zartan and the Dreadnoks, laser battles and blown up vehicles and Duke being a bitchy control freak. And the best bonus is Scarlet, Cover Girl and Lady Jaye looking super hot as imitation Cold Slither groupies.

You've all probably seen the Ballad of G.I. Joe video thats been circulating but nothing beats the ending of the Joe's playing their beloved theme song to a pack full of former brainwashed fans.

A classic play them out keyboard cat-like moment.

Just watch the episode already.
