Disney's Recess

[75strongbad]

what's that episode where all the balls get taken away? that one's cool.

[DerekBurn]

As a kid, I always wondered why she didn't break her fingers from closing the door like that. Scared me every time.

[MrSideliner]

Keep pressing 0:10

Cracked me up when I was younger XD

[TheKaelkinator]

I haven't gotten recess in 5 years... :'(

[FriedrichtheFag]

CHILDHOOD T_______T

[Tovi7]

Thumbs up if the Sheridan College reenactment brought you here.

[liono1983]

@Tovi7 Hahaha they did a great job....oh how I miss the 80s & 90s lol.

[Nintendude99]

0:40 ....and then they executed him on the spot.

[TheBioLover]

I never get out of bed for cartoons anymore............it sucks.

[SuperWaveShredder]

They don't make shows like these anymore.

[EthanDarke]

As a kid I always wondered exactly what they were trying to accomplish in the intro, always figured TJ's nod was to start some elaborate scheme to achieve...a ball. Ah, youth.

[emmron76]

LOL this was my favourite show back in the day, who else thought high school was gonna be like this? LOL

[JuKa3177]

hustler kid is a G, when he goes to highschool he's definitely gunna be a drug dealer

[TheYoungGunist]

I remember watching this in grade 3,4 and 5. Now I'm in grade 9. Man, good times after school :)

[voldemorthug]

@TheYoungGunist I've watched this since it first aired and I'm about to graduate the twelfth grade! Beat that! :P

[TheYoungGunist]

@voldemorthug Haha sorry but I can't beat that ;)

[backbeyond]

@voldemorthug

I'm in high school :) Got my first car in 9th grade. ^_^

[AtlantaCommercials]

0:26 SPY!

[Discreetarcher3]

i can actually feel my asexuality returning to me as i watch this. i miss those times...

[RasmusKudahl]

I remember my dad always laughed his ass off when he saw the football get stuck to gus' head! (that was his danish name at least)

This show was the best.

[iLuvPizza95]

I so grew up on this show and Hey Arnold! When I was in like, second grade, I wanted so bad to be in 4th grade, because the characters from both shows were, and it seemed like so much fun. Actually, 4th grade was fun! I got to go to camp, yeaaah! I miss my late 90's-early 00's childhood :')

[Jennavicia100]

Who remembers one saturday morning? I use to wake up super early around 5 o clock in the morning to watch this and all the other shows that came on that day. lolz That was the life. Now the cartoons now are garbage. smdh. I'm 19 now

[Nub12342]

Nostalgia just hit me like a wreaking ball. 

[GooGooBear24]

BRING BACK GOOD CARTOONS!!

[BananaPhoPhilly]

kids shows just arent like this anymore

[TheF1ky]

ahhhhhh sunday mornings i miss you :(

[D489]

They aired this show two weeks ago on Disney XD, it was around 1pm, then they gave "Legend of Tarzan." :)

[zcm007attack]

I remember this show being the only reason my sister and I wouldn't sleep in on weekends.

[CoolerKing37]

I just found out the actor who voiced Mikey was a fat, drug addicted douchebag on Celebrity Rehab.....[/ChildhoodRuined]

[ELMATO9]

hahaha, still funny no matter how many times i see it!

T.J running 3 card monte!

[BigJackFilms]

Recess & Detention - The Shows That Made Schools Look Like German Concentration Camps

[playingwithfire11000]

childhood

[TTNoble77]

The Nostalgia Critic is wrong This way catchier than DuckTales

[The3ninjakids]

i love how TJ waving before Miss Finster slams the door started the show and ended it

[ALYNINJA]

Aw, I miss this show.

[Spudfish93]

You know you had a good childhood when your Saturday routine was wake your ass up to watch Recess and other cartoons!

[pessie83]

One thing, the intro sounds like a march. With the style of drumming in it.

[DemiTrusdale3]

It's So Random how drastically disney's changed, adding cheesy tween shows left

and right to replace our cartoons and Shake Up our Suite Life.. if you think you're gonna have the same fun childhood i did in the 90's, well, Good Luck Charlie

[rikachanxxx]

For some reason it always makes me laugh when the door opens and all the kids are like "YAYYYY!" XD

[UzumakiSonic619]

Aww man this show was awesome.

[Ivantheserious]

I miss my childhood, too.

[wonderwall135]

holy crap i miss my childhood. :'(

recess, hey arnold, rocket power, johnny bravo, cat dog, doug funny, as told by ginger, dexter's lab, and so much more!

[Casy1306]

@wonderwall135 compare this to cartoons that are on TV nowadays and I can't imagine how any child can have a fulfilling childhood today.....

[MrGatsuga]

That guy with the crown is the king of /b/

[blindedbytheliiights]

OMFGG I loved this show so much

I remember I was so happy the day I went into grade 4 cause I was finally as old as them hahahaha

[Shotgun93Steve]

The only series I remember where the Movie was probably the best thing.

God, I miss this awesome show.

[A7XRaydog247]

Man, I miss this show,they need to put it back on the air, the stuff they have on TV these days WHOMPS

[Nitram916]

MEMEORIES!

[lilozze333]

Hey! This is where they got rip off rodney from in icarly.0:43

[laxtrixx27]

What the hell happen to cartoons!!!

[1Morey]

Anyone else think the principal looks like Walter Mattheu

[lunareclipse0629]

Bring back shows like this & Rocket Power, and watch the childhood obesity rates drop.

[lunareclipse0629]

See, this is why kids are fat now - they don't have shows like this to glorify being OUTSIDE & just being a freaking kid anymore.

[Clitestar16]

absolute classic

[MrAwesome1111]

Best Disney show

[AayJay94]

YEAHHHHH SPINELLI

[oSoFlyLanaMarie]

[Raford146]

Favorite character was the hustler kid. 

[Ouranos94]

I miss Recess. I used to watch it all the time when I was little. I always wanted epic recesses like the ones on this show at my school. Oh good times.

[47TERRELL]

always wanted my recess to be like this and i wish i could blow a bubble that big

[KentonDutyFan4ever]

Best Show ever!!!

[backbeyond]

oh and wow lol, in 8th grade i got my 1st car :D a '87 fiat uno.. actually i got it when starting 9th grade lol, but in 4th grade i love a brown Mitsubishi Lancer the most.

RIP lancer:

1987 - 2005.

[backbeyond]

Best Show EVER MADE. :)

[Alantgv]

I LOVED this show as a little kid. sweet memories...

[theluigifan1]

Man, this whomps. TV has gone down the toilet these days.

[PhoenixKing0617]

Tender..................

[D489]

lolz I remember this one episode when Randall said to Ms. Finster, "Ms Finster, Ms Finster, there's leaves on the front lawn" haha..I also liked when TJ was in "the box"

[D489]

Recess was a great show, they used to air this on Toon Disney, but now its Disney XD..they dont even air this anymore.. :(

[sunlocket]

Dude, it's so lame...I can't even find Recess re-runs now. :( Miss it.

[Sledge070685]

Meh! I think the Lawson and his crew intro was better.

[kablamoid96]

When I was in elementary school, I was a mix of T.J. and Spinelli

[jessikagurl101]

This is when you got your ass out of bed on Saturday morning, ate your Reese's Puffs and watched cartoons.

[mh6761]

@jessikagurl101 in my case it was sugar puffs XD

[emmron76]

@jessikagurl101 Fucking right on we did, keep on.

[101shonenjumpfreak]

i love this back then

[kagomenarue]

Aww...I remember this. It was on back when Disney was actually GOOD

[IAmNotAFunguy]

When I was young and watched this I though Miss Finster looked just like my Kindergarten teacher. My dad even called her "Mrs. Smith" which was her name.

[dlwill80]

sigh, the good times will never return, i used to wake up to this shit with a bowl of cereal, in fact some of my family even used to watch it

[MrBdoggghomes]

this was the best show on Disney hands down

[QueenShayLandra]

school was NEVER that much fun 2 me lol

[tacrosslink70]

i have a lot of respect for this show. but disney dosent......

[meg5493]

@BAWK0 and y is that >:/

[dReAmMaKeR3006]

best thing that pooped out of disney's baby >:D

[KHooksMixer]

Recess was to disney as All That/Rugrats were to Nick. Pure Awesome.

[ncanarchy99]

@BAWK0 don't you dare call them demonic children, you fucking retarded fascist! you might as well join the neo nazi movement.

[Skullkid12349]

does anyone know the episode where the gang finds the lunch lady zombies? it's under the school? please tell me

[DeliciousRedVines]

@Skullkid12349 i think you're talking about Night of the Living Finsters. They find a bunch of zombie ancestors of Ms. Finster in one of the Digger's holes. And if that is what you mean it's from an episode called the Terrifying Tales of Recess :) hope this helped.

[SycamoreHill14]

I hope they make a channel for 90's shows. 

[chubaccie]

i just graduated high school and like i do every year i watch recess schools out

[ncanarchy99]

@BAWK0 i will not stop watching it because you told me to. it is a great show. i will not stop using the word "kid." don't you dare tell me to shut the fuck up. you're the one who needs to shut the fuck up and leave us alone. you should get off the internet once and for all, recess hater!

[ncanarchy99]

@BAWK0 quit picking on recess. it's a great show and how dare you call it demonic. you really need to see a psychiatrist and leave us alone.

[mark9111111]

this was actually a few of the meaningful and awesome shows of cartoon network. and now... its gone :'(

[ncanarchy99]

@mark9111111 it was on disney channel, not cartoon network.

[ValtronW]

I remember wishing my playground was like that.

[nb45001]

@ValtronW I know.the donor kebab looks like a centre for the crazies chingy chingy changy

[DancingChickify]

I still watch this..

[gagirl1990]

this is Disney's version of Hey Arnold! but I still love this show even tho i'm 21 lol

[2000PIZ]

jaja eres un pendejo pr subir eso jajajaja

[2000PIZ]

jaja eres un pendejo pro subir eso jajajaja



[TheAgeOfRunefire187]

I always loved this show.

It's timeless.

[HardCoreConkerFan26]

This is the best disney show ever

[JDfanforever]

Ahhh recess, I always rushed to the tv when it came on. I still remembered when Randall screamed in the intro, so at 0:26 I'm like "wait for the scream...there it is" It wasn't until recently that I realized that Randall looks like Moe from the Simpsons

[velvetveuve]

I used to have a crush on that guy with the red cap :P The power of a good cartoon! Miss it definitely

[SuperFlashDriver]

I remember watching Recess when I was 8 years old. I use to turn to channel 121 on my cablevision service and watch the entire thing. And sooner or later, I got interested in this in no time. Sadly, I didn't even see this since 2005.

[SuperMelon1]

Why does every video on YouTube about cartoons have at least one high-rated comment involving someone announcing their age? No-one gives a fuck.

[FlareDemonReborn]

man this show was f**ckin awesome back in the day!

[LiviaAnnRox]

BEST! SHOW! EVEEEEEEEER!

[lemondragon18]

i love Miss Finster. you know she has a sweet side but she cant show it or the kids would just walk all over her

[theicefangsbff]

so many memories!

[bloodshotclam]

Was this show on Toon Disney, ABC, or UPN?

[LAxLakersx24]

@bloodshotclam all of the above

[024lizardking]

@bloodshotclam abc then later toon disney

[MuseManMike]

JUST FUCKING NOSTALGIA'D

[akress2121]

My favorite show!!!!:D

[Dumbodog4]

(born in 1997) I honestly did not like this show very much back then, but now with complete crap on shows on not just disney but nick and CN ( i watch mostly comedy central now) this show seems hellova lot better

[ambyleeful]

I didn't like this show when I was little, but i would always watch it if nothing else was on. Now I would rather watch this a MILLION times over what they have on T.V today.

[Adam10Rocks]

Recess - Intro (1999-2002)

[XxxWolfsoulxxX]

Is it just me, or does Randall look like Moe from the Simpsons, as a child?

[56yuoi]

@XxxWolfsoulxxX you are right randall does look like moe.

[um09dndam]

hahaha, i remember hating randall for being an asshole all the time

[zshaw7549]

The bad thing is that I was 15 or 16 years old when this cartoon first aired on ABC One Saturday Morning. Since I had to go places on Saturdays, I would always find myself watching Pepper Ann, Recess, The weekenders, and so on. My favorite segment was and still is the Genie from Aladdin with the "Great Minds think alike, no, great minds think for themselves." CLASSIC!

[ultra3495]

one of those kids at 0:25 looks like Hank Hill

[majinish]

7 ppl lost at dodgeball

[XAJanaeX]

One of the team members of Hey Arnold went on to create Recess. You can tell, they have similarities. Both are unbelievably awesome cartoons.

[SilenceSlayer224]

I like the episode when they found out spinelli was an Ashley... gawd it's been years.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@dan11mmn01 Cuz it's the shitz

[jewelfewel]

never thought of it when i was a kid, but i'm betting Spinelli is a dike and Mikey is a faggot

[CaptainMaloy1001]

Kids, this is before disney was shit.

[roliletea]

@CaptainMaloy1001 Agreed.



[robonightmare]

@CaptainMaloy1001

Amen.

[cristianrockerchick]

oh good old cartoons brings joy again/

[MsDestinyDiamond]

I remember how me and my sister watched this every evening and laughed our asses off at this intro. I don't know what happened, but they gotta bring da old cartoons back.

[Mufasathegodlion]

I remember these days. I still love Recess. I grew up with it.(;

People said I was like a girl version of TJ. I was honoured. ;D

[blackbeltsimon]

@Mufasathegodlion I guess if you are a girl that is a compliment

[SuperWaveShredder]

This show actually shaped my personality.

[theproducerspart2]

Recess was definitely the kids version of Hogan's Heroes lol

[BrianWiiProductions]

I remember this.

[LukeMM95]

Really is an Awesome show. Haven't seen it in ages (Ben10 and similar crap have taken over kids TV nowadays) but if I ever caught it on TV, it would instantly make my day!!!

[jaegernaut33]

HA. the athletic one is black. that shit was done on purpose

[RawkieHawkie42]

Recess taught me how to spell "Recess".

[MATTisAkoala]

7 people were always in detention during recess.

[maxmillon]

I would love to see a live opening they could do it like the simsons did

[DXjamesMoe3]

amazing all i have to say

[soullover123456]

I remember I use to come home after school and go to my nanny's home and watch this. I'd make sure I'd get there on time to be able to watch at least an hour of this show. The movie was by far EPIC as well.

[coconutheadlice]

omg wtf happend to these amazing shows look at the shit thats on now like suite life on deck and hanna montanna

[iLuvPizza95]

Gotta love Spinelli XD

[kipdude1]

If only it was out on DVD in my country (UK)...! :(

[mjbjemifan09]

ah recess those were the days!

[Skeeball22]

The Good Ol' Days of old Disney Channel.

[pokemonmasterxful]

lol after all these years i just noticed how fast miss finster runs being an old person (0:14-0:17)

[Mcboogers]

they removed it from disney :(, Sad.

[trisarahhhtopps]

OMG I MISS THISS

[coppygirl]

@dan11mmn01 not anymore, but netflix has the movies though XD

[maniac2040]

@dan11mmn01 It still comes on??

[DarkReapersGrim]

Recess! Saturday Mornings revolved around this show. ABC knew it. I also loved Doug was just as good and so was Pepper Ann.

[Bowmaj21]

This has to be one of the most memorable cartoon intros!

The music is catchy as hell, it gives you a little idea of what some of the characters are like, and that shot of Miss Finster and T.J. at 0:57 is one that always makes me laugh!

[HibeeeHibernian]

Why does cartoon sandwiches always look so god damn scrumptious!

[And3rson1294]

TENDER

[Torres89013]

BEST MORNING CARTOON SHOW!!! I swear, how many kids were motivated in the 90s to start this in their recess time!!

[mwong666]

Its like a war prison re enactment with kids!

[gaj1012]

I miss this so much.. brings back GREAT memories.

[A7XRaydog247]

Brings tears to my eyes, I always wished that my Elementary school functioned like this one, taking me back to my childhood...

[RandomMikael]

BEST EVER

[spinquelle]

"Phinster is a nefarious Dega" lol loooove Recess!!

[luckymi4U]

to good for words

[marqueskart]

I nostalgia'd.

[Jesziika9410]

:')

[malani292]

can't remember how many times i have seen the reruns .......... :) best show ever

[Fudgems898]

No matter how old I get I still love this show.

[landfiree]

7 people were picked on at recess, sorry for them.

[taker1114]

This cartoon is better than all the music, tv shows, and movies to come out in the last 5 years combined. It is sad what this world has become.

[mooper11]

OMG i used to love this show when i was little...this show was disneys greatest cartoon ever. so many memories

[tvhead12]

One of OSM's longest survivors...this show was and still is...extremely awesome. It's still playing on Family Channel here in Canada.

[OcoryustheBold]

The great thing about this show was that the playground functioned in a way like how the adult world does. Disney, Nick and Cartoon Network get in you time machines and go back and take notes. I know you have one

[LinkMarioSamus]

@OcoryustheBold I suppose you could add Discovery Kids and National Geographic Kids to that...

...on a side note, I randomly had the intro's music playing through my head today while I was taking my Spanish final exam. I have no idea why.

[ihartkookiez99]

GREATEST CARTOON IN HISTORY!!!
