[Tim92G]

0:24 derp

[s1lentkrnsou1jah]

It would have been funny if the pitcher throws the ball at his glasses and breaks it right after he just got new glasses

[Pasc9]

This kid grew up to be Vance Worley

[albusron3490]

wait, Ripcord was white before?

[The4EverYoung85]

@albusron3490 Yes, this was made before that live-action movie with Marlon Wayans as Ripcord.

[DreamsOfYore]

"Get your eyes tested"

Really stretching for psa's werent they

[DetachedArtist]

@DreamsOfYore Action cartoons in the 1980's-1990's HAD to have a PSA at the end it was a forced censorship rule not the fault of the writers at all, which is why many are generic.

[TheLordZoka]

0:26 Im so stoned right now

[SpiritKnob]

Rpicord and his amazing disappearing gloves!

[ZukusScaenicus]

Cobra Commander needs to star in one of these

[Nojical101]

@ZukusScaenicus "Kids, kill everyone you see, especially those G I Joes!

[TaTgurl1003]

well someone got less hot. he looks like my dad when he wears glasses and trust me my dad wasn't the least bit hot

[darkman699]

gotta love these 80's cartoon color coordination bloopers.

[TheKaBLAMshow]

Ripcord?? Sounds to me like the tearing of your eye cord (the thing that holds your eye back, gosh i feel dumb >_<) that just dosent sound pleasing...

He's a RipTide of LIESSS!! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!! ;)

[Andriykobin]

0:11 His hand is a glove?!?

0:13 His glove hand turns black?

0:19 His head shrunk

0:24, 0:26 WTF?!?

[TheDeadLobster]

@BTIsaac So without glasses you would be fine after getting hit in the eye from a very fast moving baseball?

[BTIsaac]

Yup. Always wear your glasses during a baseball match. That way, not only will your head hurt when the ball hits your face, you will also get a facefull of glass shards to seriously injure and blind you for life. Thanks for the advice Ripcord. I'll be sure to break the number one safety rule during my next gym class.

[Spieluhr13]

I'd fail anyway.

[chibicelchan]

Yeah, kid! Get your eyes checked. Then you can wear big 80s hipster glasses like the Baroness.

[KidNothing89]

Whoa, his eyes @ 0:24

[TheAxelMiller]

Judging from Ripcord's look at 0:26. I think he should get his eyes looked aswell.

[roguelead72]

@TheAxelMiller Huh? I had a Ripcord figure about 20 someodd years ago.

[sfighter991]

"Ripcord" seems like a cool guy, even though he wasn't popular enough to have a figure or to have a good actor play him in the live-action movie.

[kelvinmcphatter25]

Strike 3!

[Markantwnhs]

graphic sucks but we get the point!!!!!

[wileyk209zback]

@Markantwnhs It's a Marvel Productions cartoon from the 1980s animated by Toei. What'd you expect? XD

[izlude2]

New study shows that 90% of the US population may need corrective lenses. There is evidence that when children are born, all hospitals put a chemical in the child's eyes as a means of preventing eye infections. This chemical contains mercury in a level 3 form which can cause people to go nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatism. Make sure if you have kids, don't let the hospitals put this "unnecessary compound" in your children's eyes. It's downright dangerous and violates human rights.

[jcfbell3001]

you don't see the real problem - Ripcord!! lol

[Bladeclone]

HAVE YER EYES TESTED DOUCHEBAG!

[KiddoisAwwesome]

lol they all get cock eyed at the end

[DustinThePooper]

0:23 No wonder.....look at that cross-eye. I'm surprised glasses helped at all.

[pantyflash]

Like, wonderful advice. What if it wasn't your eyesight that was hosed?  What then? Way to go, babe!

[TheSome1productions]

Is that commissioner Gordon at 0:13

[lilsingingsensation]

anyone notice these boys have kid voices, but they look like adults?

[TheHcomment]

at 27, he looking imto my soul

[Boomerangutan]

these kids look like adults

[whirlingrobo]

When he has the glasses on he kinda looks like Chip from Transformers. Or maybe I need my eyes tested.

[daaborion]

Um.. Ripcord, maybe you should have your own eye's tested there, bud o_O

[Jayrbf13]

Hey Paramount and Mr. Walons nothing against you, but that was Ripcord.

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Ripcord!

Actually I'm Cobra commander, you need your eyessssssss checked...

Ssso you can sssssee me killing you!

[TGram29]

0:25 WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIS EYES

[edfreak9001]

0:24 durrrr

0:26 rape time

[hady9090]

Lol what if the kid didn't even have bad vision? What a dick Ripcord would look like...

[brucewayne79]

I think the problem is that the kid is a no talent pussy.

[SlaughterTheFrail]

0:26

He's staring into my soul....

[smilinstrange]

Great Grame!

[jaydubyuel]

He didn't hit the ball because it looked like an egg. At least the ump knew what it was.

[Kartoonkid95]

0:19 kid is on steroids

[brenchtoast44]

I've never had my eyes checked and ath keyd the nam

[thecupcakeman69]

0:23 DERP!

[thecupcakeman69]

derp 0:25

[DeviousBetrayer]

Haha people who wear glasses should be sent to work camps.

[squallz13]

I love his lazy eye at the end.... classic

[z5pat]

@24 - WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEIR EYES?

[crazybat07]

I TOTALLY HATE the fact they cast LAME Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. The Character in the cartoons is caucasian/white!! Damn, stupid, Hollywood!!! Same thing with Transformers movies, everything changed!!!

[frozenkiller7]

he did the ol' clark kent

[CyberLance26]

He looked much older after getting the glasses.

[undisputed4life]

I love how this is aired on TV even though it's directed to blind kids.

[pancakewafflebacon]

don't avoid a problem. get some big ass coke bottle glasses

[AndySofaProductions]

The kid is like 30, hasn't hit puberty, is this Justin bieber?

[WhatsAYak]

@AndySofaProductions - LOL...it's one of the PSAs' amusing quirks, where they draw the kids as teens, yet give them the voices of 10-year-olds...go figure!

[JetfireandJetstorm12]

How is ripcord black in the rise of cobra

[tj001231]

@JetfireandJetstorm12 diversity

[pinkorpurple432]

0:26

I don't think they fixed his eyes all the way.

[Ryuhza]

0:11

His... hand...

[conbotx]

Then how could he see Ripcord?

[ShinobiGarth]

apparently getting glasses also makes you age about 10 years.

[thewilloffire08]

With eyes like his at 0:26 and no glasses, I think it's safe to say Ripcord's a hypocrite!

[mangaka321]

suck at sports? TEST UR EYES! You'll get better

[jaydubyuel]

Ripcord is an odd name..

[aSimulatedHigh]

with a helmet like that, one wonders why he isn't flying an apache in Afghanistan

[TheSilentWyvern]

Meet it and beat it.

...

Yea.

[sserpent21]

I do need my eyes tested, I see a white guy where Ripcord should be.......oh.........wait.

[blacknite76]

And after he got his glasses he still struck out, seems he actually suck at baseball!

[blacknite76]

I thought Ripcord looked like Marlon Wayans? Oh Well.........

[The4EverYoung85]

@blacknite76: That was in the movie made in 2009. This is the 1980s cartoon, where the only black guys were Doc, Roadblock, and Stalker.

[blacknite76]

@The4EverYoung85 UMMM if you notice all the comments on these PSA's are from grown people who now look at the psa's different then when they were kids. Sarcasim and funny. Don't bring the mood down. I know they changed the character of Ripcord.

[The4EverYoung85]

@blacknite76: I wasn't bringing the mood down. I was just making an observation. If I did bring the mood down, I'm sorry.

[blacknite76]

@The4EverYoung85 Hey man it's cool just leave funny comments like everybody else and I apologize for saying your bringing down the mood it's funny little clips from the past nothing serious.

[Soopination]

Is it just me or did the eyesight kid gain a bit if muscle after getting glasses?

I'M TOTALLY GOING TO RUIND MY EYESIGHT NOW :D

[Tsuruka]

Did those glasses cause that kid to go though puberty?

[graph180]

Not to be insensitive but.. 0:24

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT KID'S EYES?!

[StudebakerBronson]

@graph180 Hahaha...i'd say it was a severe case of DURRRR

[KingDT2007]

seem like the kid had glocuma i know how to cure it no need for some nerdy glasses try my herbs its not oregano but looks like it

[WhatsAYak]

How does Ripcord immediately know that the kid's poor performance is due to a vision problem?

[TheDullahan]

@WhatsAYak It wasn't immediate, he's been spying on him for months. Why else do you think he just HAPPENED to be there?

[WhatsAYak]

@TheDullahan - Oh yeah, I forgot that's how they usually know the kids' names when they meet for the "first time"...LOL

[WKRPinCINN]

@WhatsAYak -- he probably spends a lot of time watching kids on playgrounds and thinking of ways to approach them and gain their trust.

[WhatsAYak]

@WKRPinCINN - LOL...that would def explain why one of the Joes always just happens to be on the scene whenever a kid has a prob or is about to do something stupid!

[AkatsukiPR0]

@WhatsAYak Don't ask questions, that's how.

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

@WhatsAYak

Experience.

[shadowmariogalaxy64]

:27

ripcord, you're high

[TCgamerboy2002]

0:26 Wow, Ripcord looks like he's high.

[The4EverYoung85]

@TCgamerboy2002: No, it looks like Ripcord looks like he needs corrective surgery for that lazy eye (or wall eye or whatever that is).

[TCgamerboy2002]

@The4EverYoung85 And here I thought he said not to avoid the problem. =P
