Fantastic Four (1978) - 08 - The FF Meet Doctor Doom (1 of 2)

[Lecrecia]

FOOT DIVE!!

[SuperStrik9]

Dr Doom RULES! Gotta love a villain who's always good by their word!

[LynnaTammieim711]

also guckt mich an bin ein elch

[TheOneWWEGuy]

Herbie sucks!

[Dragonblack90]

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT YO-YO

that's what she said

[jackfordtrousers]

Best two lines of monologue in history; 'I'm falling! He's captured me!'

[captcold1]

Blackbeard? Really?

[NewEraOutlaw]

Ugh. John Stevenson does NOT gel with Dr. Doom.

[ericfuchs123]

No Lord Helmet, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!

[Ammit5]

Ben Grimm has orange skin? We finally have somebody who can infiltrate and destroy Jersey Shore!

[orinanime]

What is up with Ben Grimm's voice?!

He's supposed to sound like a wannabe Jimmy Durante!

Kinda like Spike the Dog from Tom and Jerry.

In the '67 show, the '90s show, the movies, and the 2000s show, he sounded right.

He sounds messed up in this version.

[GADefence]

I love how doom had a look of "What, is he serious?" when Reed said "I'll go to Latvaria!"

"This @#$%ing worked? Reed is a moron!"

[archer1949]

So while Reed is yammering on with his exposition. What the fuck is Doom doing? Why is he waiting around waiting for Stretch to complete his soliloquy?

[116Bears]

Somebody was watching Spaceballs whilst writing the opening scene.

[HeltOkejFilmer]

So THIS is where MF Doom got it from! I always thought that he took it from some radio drama

[ultimacy100]

I'm falling!

[RipperCyclotron]

@ultimacy100 I'm captured!

[Nospertelaca]

Shit-House 4 more like it. Where the fuck is the Torch? And why the fuck is Doom playing with F4 action figures?

[Jokerman665]

@Nospertelaca i guess people were afraid that seeing the Human Torch would make 11-year-old boys set themselves on fire to try and emulate him. Which i don't really see a problem with. Better they remove themselves from the gene pool while they're young, than pass on their idiocy to the next generation

[disneyfan81]

@Jokerman665 No that's just an urban legend that refuses to die. The real reason is Marvel licensed The Torch for a proposed live-action show that never came to fruition.

[voxombrae]

so at 2:13 reed richards plays chess with himself on a checkers board with an eagle, a spaceship, and miniature fragrance bottles for pieces? and this guy is a genius?

[DagsDoItBetter]

Hahahahaha best show ever.

[Perszeusz]

lol what's up with those monks?!? It's like the "extras" in every old cartoon were made with three different templates.

[TheXand19]

0:12

I love how Latveria is guarded by Putty Men.

[mooman72v2]

Did she really need to shout, "I'm faaaaling!" "He's captured me!"

[THISNAMEOWNS]

why didn't they shoot doom while he's flying the plane?

[TaekoZ]

Did he say the forbidden kingdom of Blackberria?

[liamsp544]

Lord Doom likes to keep dolls of his enemies, for use in his fantasies. *60's announcer voice*

[gamefan06]

"Lord Doom!"

"WHAT!?"

"You're needed in the council chamber, sir."

"KNOCK ON MY DOOR, KNOCK NEXT TIME!"

"Yes sir."

"Did you see anything?"

"No sir, I did not see you playing with your dolls again."

[ActionCarl]

How the hell is Ben reading a Silver Surfer comic? Is it nonfiction or something?

[jmen4ever]

@ActionCarl in the original story,it was hulk 1 he was reading I beleave. At the time, Lee and Kirby had just come out with their surfer book, their final team up.A cleavy way to promote it. The storyboards from this episode were used in ff 236,the 20th anniversery issue.

[Powerofgreyskull]

"The world itself shall lie helpless at..."

"Lord Doom, are you finished playing with your dolls, yet?"

"They're ACTION FIGURES, you blithering buffoon!!"

[Spiderfan85]

One lesson learned from this show. Fuck Logic.

[lobsopdoy]

Man, the people in the Carribbean don't even give a shit about seeing them.

Also, they're all white.

[Clay3613]

Herbis is awful...

[whiteboyfromco]

Did he say Lard? 0:23

[kakashi76767]

So the Thing's comic book became electrified? uh...

[melloncollieromance]

So is Ben Grimm voiced by the same guy that voiced King Koopa in the Mario cartoons?

[disneyfan81]

@melloncollieromance No, he was voiced by Ted Cassidy (Lurch on "The Addams Family"). This was also one of the last things he did (he died in 1978 or 1979).

[DseanSupreme]

I'm so glad i didn't grow up during these times. (brought here by cracked. enjoy the coming bandwagon.)

[CandyCinema]

@1:38 Ben: "Big deal! Stretcho's probably beating his sex again!"

Herbie: "No! My circuits are throbbing! My sensors tingling!"

[RedcoatMic24]

2:07

"Yeeeoww! What gives? Blasted rock doesn't conduct electricity! I call bullshit!"

[mason000]

MF Doom's Mmm...Food sampled this episode on a couple tracks. Gotta love it.

[castlecolten]

The only good thing about this series was to put Doom's origin on tv, yes, they did it in the '60s version, but this one was the first I saw in those ancient pre-VCR days.

[eshaw2115]

I hope that stupid robot is not replacing the Human Torch in the comics. after recent events.

[castlecolten]

@eshaw2115 Good point!!!!!

[suicideskwid]

Metal Fist terrorist claimed responsibility, a broken household name usually said in hostility.

[djslyych]

this is a disgrace,no fighting,all talk,cant believe i used 2 watch this when it 1st came out

[Nanaman12345]

Oh man, this is absolutely incredible.

Dr. Doom, the tyrannical supervillain with countless armies, weapons, and powers, wants to BUY giant robots, potions, and whatnot, and there is only one possible way to do so: Send your arch enemies, not even your lackies, back in time to steal pirate booty.

Oh, and Doom doesn't lie.

This is the best show I've ever seen in my life.

[checkoutgirl]

@Nanaman12345 I love the line "I'll make you live to regret this". Does he mean that he will ensure that they don't die before he has a chance to make them regret their actions ? If they are in any danger he will protect them until he can make them feel regret ? Do the Fantastic Four have any powers ? Why didn't Thing just start clobbering ? The only surprise is that Stan Lee wrote this.

[2wingo]

@Nanaman12345 Belive it or not, that's exactly what he did in his original comic book appearance.

[Nanaman12345]

@2wingo It wasn't, acutally. This story never happened in the comics.

[2wingo]

@Nanaman12345 Fantastic Four # 5, July 1962, the original appearance of Dr. Doom. Look it up, moron.

[Nanaman12345]

@2wingo Well, I WAS going to say "My apologies, you were correct." However, now I will ask you to properly go fuck yourself for that unnecessary insult.

[2wingo]

@Nanaman12345 I'm sorry. I get a little militant when people question my comicbook knowledge. That was out of order, though.

[Nanaman12345]

@2wingo Hey, it's fine. I'm sorry I shot the gun before checking my barrel. Truth is that I've been saving for the first volume of FF. Sadly, my collection begins at about FF #22 or so.

[2wingo]

@Nanaman12345 I've got a TPB of the FF that goes from 1 to 20 and has Annual 1. It's pretty cheesy, but it's worth it to see the origins of some of their most iconic villains.

[Nanaman12345]

@2wingo Oh definitely. I heard that I started at its peak (about 30 or so), but I would love to read the earliest stories. I've read remakes, but it's not the same.

[2wingo]

@Nanaman12345 I'd recommend getting Essential Fantastic Four vol. 1. It's in black and white, so some of the experience is lost, but the issues are complete right down to some of the advertisements and author's notes on the back pages.

[BohemianBlasphemy]

@Nanaman12345

He has a time machine.

A time machine, dude! He can make trillions with that invention and conquer the world through corporations!

I'm a retard and even I can come up with better plans for world domination! Once you have a time machine, you can sell the patent, or change history in your favour, like going back in time to the renascence and conquering Europe with regular bazookas and tanks!
