G.I. Joe theme

[TheSpiderByte]

The UK version of this theme is so much better, even if the title kinda sucks.

[nthnpark0]

The only time in the ENTIRE Sunbow/DIC cartoon sereies where we see Snakeeyes and Stormshadow have physical contact.

[TheSoundwave129]

Am I the only who thinks this intro would be 10 times more awesome if they replaced the theme with the song "America, F*ck Yeah!"?

[Barbaryotaku]

Ironically in real life America is the terrorist trying to take over the world...

[byroninscoe3303]

Huge fan. I actually miss this.

35 years old

Going on 36 and I'm still

A

Huge fan. So those out there who is not,

Bite me. It was a great show like transformers. Love them

All.

[madd871]

@byroninscoe3303 it on the hub  both g.i joe and tranformer

[Meghbabaji]

yo joe.

[Squadron266]

+1 if you are a liberal driven crazy by this

[Jimpiedepimpie]

What this theme tries to say:

AMERICA!

[CIGARPIGSKIN6]

YO JOE!

[Russiansaur]

American propaganda, yep, cobra? Well cobra was supose to be the USSR and GI joe? The states famous counter terrorisim delta force. Haha it's funny to think how much the states tryed to brainwash kids into thinking the communists were as bad as the nazis... Haha

[Przempir]

@Russiansaur The were, believe me. Polfag here

[TheTrueNateHustle]

@Russiansaur

Seal Team 6 = G.I Joe

[IkilledColMustard]

in the liberal land of Hollyweird, a Real American Hero is just unacceptable. Nope, it’s gotta be a global hero. G.I. Joe will be a global operation, not an American one, and G.I. Joe now stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity:

[DrMlieko]

@IkilledColMustard

Depending on what version you are watching

The most recent cartoon has them completely USA based

[91Metalhead]

such nostalgia.

[srgtsam]

i enjoy the old gi joe better then the one now.....

[albusron3490]

and knowing is half the battle!

GEE EYE JOEEEEEE!!!

[MrJnunnally]

@albusron3490 hey my name is joe should I be in the G.I. because i know. this comment is ending with your comment.

[goldbullet50]

Everyone ignore the new G.I Joe.

[miyabi1435]

Best animated TV show ever!

[roblh31]

OHHH, Now I get it!!! Cobra was a metaphor, for Middle Easterners!!

Now it makes sense !!

We were all brainwashed, lol.

[bigman10239]

Cobra, Attack! GI Joe will lose, if i join the fight! because i the fan with the figures play favorites with Cobra!!!!!!!!! Yo Joe? more like Yo No! and yet i know half the battle. just show you that cobra isn't all stupid! BTW Baroness, Scarlett and Lady Jaye are hot!!!

[backelskin89]

i love how everyone takes the cartoon so seriously my god its just a cartoon

[maxcady360]

20 people are members of Cobra.

[TheADzioba]

I'm sorry but this theme sucks. The main singer's voice just doesn't fit with the rest of the choir & music. Gi Joe: The Movie theme is the one to listen to.

[Beerbottles123]

OSI! We fight for freedom and the little guy! OSI! We’ll tear a new hole in your sky! When it time to start the war You’ll hear our mighty engines roar! We’re an army of super spies Look out Sphinx, you’re gonna die! OSI! We’ll shatter your skull and make your children cry! OSI! Here we come, look up in the sky! OSI! Mass destruction comes your way wait-oops, wrong lyrics

[garp90]

I'm usually anti-militarist, but not this time: the fact they're finally sending soldiers to kick Gheddafi's ass makes me so happy! YOOOOO JOOOE!!!

[forgottenmemories63]

My Mom hated me coz I was a spoiled kid back in Second Grade and I made her get me the Entire GI.Joe Action Figure Collection, Like 30+ Assault Vehicles and 100+ Action Figures @_@

[mightygreenm]

Cobra Commander made 20 YouTube accounts and thumbed down this video.

[DJCandyManMike]

@mightygreenm

Or maybe it was simply 20 people who never knew half the battle.

[VampireDoctorWho]

Angry JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEE

[kimonoone]

Oh...goosebumps I tell you. GOOSEBUMPS!

I remember finding Lady J completely HOT!

[xzaxwarudox]

@kimonoone A million times over, THIS.

[lionzion22]

@Morgethein

Nazis were incredibly stupid and benefitted from German access to decent arms. Al-Queda is more of a guerrilla outfit and good at it. They use religion as a ruse, but as far as ideology, are no different than the Nazis.  Cobra? The best.

[adamp2]

wow and its happen

[Arppis]

@Morgethein

Yea they sure are. But they are still winning, look at world how afraid it is. They have already taken away many freedoms from American people.

[ViolentpH]

@Morgethein Wow! I wonder if there's a real-life comparison to that...

[TimeGod12]

Why are people here talking crap about Al-Qaeda?

Do you kids even know about the history of Al-Qaeda?

CIA was behind the formation of Al-Qaeda. Now that Americans have inhumane military occupations all across the Muslim world, Al-Qaeda is fighting for the FREEDOM of muslim world from brutal American military occupation and dictatorship.

[NForcerSA]

@RW00632 G.I. JOE IS # 1 AND YOU SAID IT BEST RW!

[NForcerSA]

@Morgethein FUCK AL QUAEDA AND JI HAD AND ALL THAT SHIT! COBRA ALL THE WAY AND G.I. JOE TO KICK THEIR DAMN ASSES! :-)

[voiox]

Or : The Cobra is a special task force trained to protect against the terrorist G.I. Joe from taking over the world.

[balrog73]

Who in the bloody hell are the 20 sub-human no minded fools who voted negatively. While I respect everyone's opinion and their right to have one, I also believe your opinion is stupid. That is all.

[totocows]

hes always there....... always

[Arppis]

@Morgethein

Kinda like Hitler?

[BlackAce1229]

this show drive liberals crazy.

[edgeninja]

@BlackAce1229 Funny, I've never heard of a single liberal complaining about G.I. Joe....or any kids' cartoon for that matter. I DO recall conservatives going nuts because they thought the purple Teletubbie was gay, though.

[jacobkosh]

@BlackAce1229 Actually, I'm a liberal and I think GI Joe is fantastic. The Joes all have masters' degrees and speak multiple foreign languages, they let women fight, they give their people the best equipment and body armor and medical care, they cooperate with our friends and allies, and I never saw an episode where they blew up everyone at a wedding by accident. I'd be thrilled to have a real army like GI Joe. Suck on that, fuckass.

[alquimista2007]

la wea fascista. :S

[corpsevapourband]

GOOOOOO JOOOOEEE!

[Vebinz]

Wonderful cartoon. Probably one of the most sophistaced series of the time, with undoubtedly the greatest toy-line ever created.

The original G.I.Joe will always be legend!

[Terryfan]

0:48 Snake Eyes attacks Storm Shadow from behind was an awesome shot

YO O JOE

[MrOakleaf]

Cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa

[avengerray]

That is so awesome

[Journeyofcards]

your damn right..GI Joe is there!!!

[aznrocker1616]

if you think he sucks,listen to your self!

[astrosfan198]

There Probably WAAAAYYYYYY BETER thEN U

[ImperatorZor]

Victory to COBRA!

[herbalizer0069]

i just bought season 1 on dvd....im not gay...its for my kid honest

[harveyjbirdman]

whos;s the indian dude?

[greytale]

I think they literally called him... Tracker? I can't remember if they gave him any other name...

[bigmikeallbright]

Charlie "Spirit" Iron Knife

[greytale]

Thanks!!! That was it! Lady Jaye was always calling him Spirit...

God... I still want to know who sang the theme song. It also sounds like he did most of the harmonies (since one blends very well with oneself)...

[lordpudding10]

Fuck Iraq shouldn't we be worrying about Cobra? like fuck MOMD in the middle east. Cobra has a fucking teleporting machine and huge ass ray guns.

[EnteruserIDhere1]

Yeah. Goverment needs money to spend on a highly trained special forces team to destroy Cobra. They should come into everyone's house and steal their gi joe plastic action figures resembling cobra, and burn them :).

[daverse1]

now this is what the movie should have at least resembled!!

FUCK HOLLYWOOD

[lordpudding10]

you called what was released in 09 a GI Joe movie?

no no no, there is only one GI Joe movie.

[fallenwillrise]

what if g-joe's government was funding cobra, and using false flag operations to continue an unending war on terror, and to further strip the citizens of their rights, and destroying national sovereignty . Covertly working with Cobra, creating the likes of Cobra Commander and company.

Wait, sounds like whats happening these days. Wow.

[malk555]

memories...

[gamerstud45]

The movie was okay...they tried to take GI Joe and make it an international group; GI Joe is an American hero...not the rest of the world's hero (Superman is the same, they tried to destroy that icon too)...this liberal, anti-American sentiment from Hollywood is getting old, if they want to wallow in liberal self-pity fine, they can use their time to destroy Obama...just leave GI Joe: A Real American Hero alone...he's America's hero!!!!

[danyboyization]

i like the black ninja

[Mitchal13579]

Remember when it was okay to be pro-American in a cartoon?

[Vebinz]

Aside from the intro., th show never tried to be overtly pro-American, which I why it was so great.

Nothing worse than John Wayne-like propaganda.

[ChaosMissile]

The second I heard the words "He'll fight for freedom, wherever there's trouble. GI Joe is there. GI JOE!!!! A real Ameircan hero". Though I'm not American, I laughed. The song's EXACTLY how I remembered it.

[jeggomez]

COBRAAAALALALALALALALALA!!!!!

[neomatoid]

Did they all die?

[ImperatorZor]

Screw GI Joe! VICTORY TO COBRA!

[aztekarrow]

It's weird that this intro is the only time you see Snake Eyes fight Storm Shadow for less then a second.

[deokumarrai]

the movie is great!!!!

[ferdie2]

GI Joe was really about soldiers with different characteristics and techniques not just machine suits...

[clay180]

it seems the movie just focuses on ninjas and power suits

[ninjaXusaco]

saw it today. sucked so much. the ninjas and the baroness made up for it a bit, but i laughed more than i was wowed

[Optimus313]

To me the Ninjas stole the movie away from the others

[jesiahbailey]

agreed. this movie was HORRIBLE

[gorgoroth]

haha this is blatant propaganda.;

[joserolandof]

:'(

wow¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ when i was a child i always watch this serie is very cool

[FunkyDevil909]

YOOOOOOOOOOO JOE !

[Zablorg]

Gee, it's a shame people are going to complain that the memories of their half-hour toy advertisements have somehow been erased by a new film they can ignore.

[superjakeny]

I did not hear anything about Destro

[Mackfuu222]

to bad the movie looks like shit

[blica1]

FIGHTING COBRA AND DESTRO !!!!

[prateekrajashah]

Fond fond memories!!

[CamaroTransAmTeam]

the ford mustank cobra is the enemy

[FalconKPD]

Uh...Do the 12 inch figures from the 60's count?

[Hogos4life81]

At :40-44 G.I. Joe its purpose to defend "HUMAN FREEDOM" not USA freedom. no offense to any who served and know what im saying. no offense. much respect and thank you.

[kaindarkwind]

Of course. A real American hero isn't selfish. And you're welcome. '99-'03

[Hogos4life81]

Awesome , i was a little young to watch this intro, (this is the first one) but somehow i remembered the song and some of the video. They hired professional singers to record. :55-:1-03 says it all..

[jhelmsorig]

wow that brought back memories!

i'd come home from school, watch GU Joe then Transformers

[DTXShooTer]

AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!

[RANDYORTONKELLY]

GI joe is THE classic action figure and THE classic cartoon

[Omniverse77]

What an epic singing voice, eh...

[Omniverse77]

lmao! wow, man.....

they don't make 'em like that anymore.

"Cobra: A ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world." He never gives up, he'll stay till the fights won. GI Joe will dare...... GI JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song voice and voices.

[mirasame]

That singer guy has an epic voice.

[sibenikkk]

i think the unit was real

[sibenikkk]

gi joe = soldier

[crashoveryu]

I remember buying GI JOE action figures in Serbia.. haha.. Gread childhood :)

[prime618]

G.I JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!

[xclownxprincex]

this bring me back about 8 years

[BballKingx]

damn right!

[lemansquattro]

Knowing is half the battle, killing for no reason is also half. The last half is to save the world.

[Blazefire33]

COBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timothygaskins1982]

where is those guys flat vest? AR 15 asap, lol!

[mideon79]

I think GI joe was only cartoon where there was so much toys you can buy from. i had for over more than 2000 euro´s toys from GI joe. and I then still had only 5 procent of all GI joe toys. great cartoon

[RareAir310]

damn i almost thought this version of the opening was the special one only seen on home video cassettes. that one had a different mix of scenes that was new yet oddly began the same way as this one with the joes base door raised and they come rollin out. the original vhs intro to the episodes showed them training as well in an obstacle course type of set up

[Wardog687]

GI.JOE= The US.Army

YOOOO JOOOOOEEEE!

[JadedEdge758]

now we know and knowing is half the battle.. Gi Jjoooeee!!!

[JHMcSlainte]

Thanks for posting. I'm 28, so this was definitly a major part of my childhood. Cartoons today just don't compare to what our generation had. I just hope the upcoming movie captures the magic of the cartoon.

[StevieGreig1]

If Flint is a Warrant officer should'nt he be the leader and Duke by the second in command or is Warrant officer considered lower then Master Sergent? i don't know why it would be though?

[TheStapleGunKid]

Warrant Officer is higher then all the enlisted ranks, but GI Joe doesn't seem to have a convensional command structure.

[StevieGreig1]

Thanks. I guess in the GI joe world it goes by whoever is delegated as the leader.

[50zcarsman]

There is precedent for this in other nations' militaries. In the WWII Luftwaffe, NCOs could be pilots -- not just officers -- and the most experienced guy would generally lead the fight. Thus, an officer (of whatever rank) could be under the operational control (OPCON to) a junior solidier in the air, while back at base the latter would have to show the usual deference and military courtesy to the officer.

[Djmoyd1055]

I used to love going around the house yelling

"GI JOE!!!" I didn't even have to know the whole theme song. All ya needed to know was

"GI JOE!!!!!" and shout it as loud as you could

[patjng02]

O man, love the series!

But why in the hell are they going to make a movie? Dont touch this kind of things, they already fucked up transformers and turtles, now its GIjoe's turn? Just come up with something original, not some lame ripoff from these awesome 80's!! cartoon. Makes me sad. Damn assholes

[blendtecfan]

this show was soo much better than all this crappy anime they pump out all the time.what isnt anime is TRYING to hard to BE anime.there are a few good cartoons nowadays,but they're overshadowed by all the shit ones.

Gi Joe was kick ass.end of story.

[Foromir27]

August 7 2009 the MOVIE!!!

[leosztlak]

awesome

[DutchRogue]

G.I stands for Government Issue

[Pinpinez]

Help me out here...but what does G.I. stand for ?

[greenmetal1]

General Issue

[BerZerK89]

Government Issue

[Morbiddragonelf]

Is this the miniseries when Shipwreck is introduced?

[AeaqR]

God I love this theme.

[mankind2112]

Yeah, George Bush does have balls - last of the great leaders I fear.

[mikeym5]

Yeah right...

[mankind2112]

Yeah, I know I'm right

[salaamthemoor]

george bush is g.i joe.lol!!!

[ArchaicReel]

YOOO Joe

[Stupify1984]

I miss this alot myself........goddamn politicians!

[reh629]

zartan was the f-ning man. he was the coolest character on the whole show followed by snake eyes.

[rezuleta]

What Season or Year is this Opening from, Season 2, or 3(84/85)? Or the Season before THE MOVIE (1987) came out?

[shonenboy7]

This intro is from the tv special 2-pack(Which I own)

[Jesusisyhwh]

Cobra= Al Qaeda today.

[Tyranno85]

Hell yeah. Next Summer GI Joe the movie comes out.

[smittyste]

80"s cartoons kicked ass. the stuf today doesnt compare.. we were blessd

[samuraiyao]

Weren't we all.. Born 1981, I was baptized by this culture.

[Topacio325]

OMG I miss this show

[nero1616]

i love this theme lolz

[Huargo]

absolutamente fascista.

[randomraider911]

subliminally recruiting kids since 1980

[eightiessynthpopfan]

i had such a cartoon crush on Shipwreck when i was little. haha!

[kookoo78]

I did also, which was kind of strange because he reminded me of my father...U know the Navy blue jeans and blue shirt, but my dad had the Prison blue shirt and blue jeans. Wow, I kinda had a messed up childhood LOL!!!

[gerardocivic]

me recuerda mi infancia

[silki424]

COBRA!!!

[argentus19]

a tambien si me acuerdo de un tio con traje de ninja

[airguitardemon]

That can't have been a GI Joe intro, the shots from that, apart from when it pops up with GI Joe, were from the intro to Action Force, which was the title for GI Joe.

[ABEY73]

sigh! some memories!

[SulliMike241]

YO JOE!!!

[mechafang]

They don't make soldiers like they used to... YO JOOOOOOOE- HACKCOUGHWHEEZE

[hunterinthedarkness]

Now this is old Skool! YO Joe!!!

[Worme95]

You guys are really stupid for taking a cartoon and creating a stupid dumb ass argument behind it.

[FirstClassHeel]

Yeah. Whatever happening to saying that this is a great cartoon and today's stuff for kids doesn't hold a candle to it?

[Miah48837]

YO JOE!!!!!! This is so cool i`ve only seen the new ones (spytroops valor vs venom etc) but this old one is COOL (i`m only 14)

[BTMN39]

gijoe may be cool but my buddy super man would whip the whole cobra army!

[CorinShadowblayde]

yeah, but Superman is not a real good example of a "hero". His powers remove most threats of danger for him, so it isn't exactly heroic. GI Joe is just a guy in the end, and that's what is so cool.

[nash3timemvp]

i had the rolling thunder toy it was the best thing ever .
