*Rubik* The Amazing Cube* Cartoon ~ Opening Intro

[Joecbg100]

Robot Chicken brought me here.

[13points]

i actually remember watching this when i was little.

that was a very long time ago.

[ButtersTheGreat1]

Wait...so a creepy medieval guy...has a secret treasure, a rubix cube...a group of modern kids are wondering the cobblestone road and find it...and solve it in five seconds...wtf

[al3699]

wow i bet this was an exciting cartoon

[mQtek]

Seth brought me here.

[SebastianV24]

I wish I was alive when this cartoon came out.

[95goldnera]

..Most Of The Comments Here Flush This Cartoon Down The Drain..lol..& Perhaps Rightfully So, But This Like Virtually All 'Toons From That Golden Era Was Nothing Short Of A 30min

Advertisement, & For A Puzzle Block That Was Hugely Popular @ The Time. Could They Have Done Better? Perhaps But..Fuck It, Its Been Nearly 30 Years!

Props & Thanx 2 crakkerjakk For The Post!

[95goldnera]

Yeah..This Was Part Of My Saturday Morning Cartoons "Must Watch".....

Thumbs Up If You Were An 80's Kid Sporting A Menudo T-shirt, And You Presently

Own A Rubiks Cube!!

[Phlippieskezer]

It's colour scheme keeps changing. It's quite annoying. :P

[Blooperguy229]

I swear to god, if I see a Show about a magical crum, I will just loose it.....

[Blooperguy229]

THEY MADE A SHOW FOR EVERYTHING BACK THEN!!!!

[pichuboy3]

pikachu appeared...

[peoman2]

lol Seth Macfarlane was right it really does look like Bill O'reilly

[MrMatWeller]

Truly, one of the worst cartoon concepts ever.

[AriesKnight78]

Having grown up in the 80's everything that could be whored for a dollar was. Rubix was a freaking toy that was made into a cartoon? I must have forgotten about this one and for good reason.

[penguin1137]

I now know what hell looks like. I recommend a tactical nuclear strike in my position. Tell my wife I love here.

[harrynginny4eva]

@penguin1137 She know-ow-ows



[gmjjack]

What the... What is this!!! My jaw has dropped. This is the stupidest thing Ive ever seen. Rubik is rolling in his grave

[Bubbles96337]

@gmjjack : .... Ernő Rubik isn't dead...

[kaza12345678]

scery no joke

[401jasmine]

I didn't know this famous toy had a cartoon:) wow!

[pandachristy234]

Funny, the Rubik cube i used to own only had the power to piss me off

[montrel74]

robot chicken !!!

[4237scott]

Robot chicken brought me here

[Beana9000]

Who makes a tv show out of a toy?

[TB4000]

@Beana9000 Been on this planet long? =P

[nachoijp]

this must be the creepiest and nerdiest thing I ever seen in my life

[Snapscape]

I loved this show though it was short lived. The 80's had so many memorable cartoons.

[mrmacross]

Good thing Carlos was able to solve the cube. Imagine how the cartoon would've played out if Rubik was found by some idiot kids.

[adeckerbuck]

0:24 Shake hardah boy!

[alucardnolifeking222]

the horror version of this would be called hellraiser

[Cherrypoppins18]

Ah, capitalism at its finest. Don't you just love the exploitation of children?

[RiotShieldMan]

He forgot their bike.

[ATENakaATON]

@RiotShieldMan no he didn't he wanted to make sure they had no chance of getting away after he got them to the spot he wanted to rape them on. There's a reason that man was trying to kill the cube. Poor children, seduced by the Cube, Rubi, the original HellRaiser. lol

[BBROTANGO]

I believe the intro was sung by Menudo (little Ricky Martin?)

[Labcabin96]

is rubik voiced by emmanuel lewis he has his likenes

[AScannerDorkly]

@Labcabin96 No, he was voiced by Ron Pallilo (aka Horshack from "Welcome Back Kotter")

[Labcabin96]

@AScannerDorkly  omg who knew?!

[Thelittleblackjack2]

What. The. Freckles.

[dancooperfication]

no wonder are country has become so fucked up.

[freedomphamtom1]

so THAT'S what happened when you get the rubik cube done

[MrAlexeiGil]

does it say story by michael jackson at 0:35 ?

[FlimsyNimsy]

They were that desperate to market the Rubik's cubes, that they made a cartoon out of it. That's hilarious:)

[JavaBilliards]

LOL..wow, I remember this!

[brianb9532]

this is happens when you do drugs and make cartoons

[hoodedbro1001]

I am so glad my Rubik's cube didn't do that.

[robcypher]

This was real?

[NekoNatsume]

If that video was true that thing would remain unsolved on the floor for centuries

[Homemadegameguru]

This just shows you just how much cartoon selection there was in the 80s. There was a cartoon for just about EVERYTHING. Many were amazing while some were just weird or dumb - but at least there was choices. Most cartoons now, that are any good, are just re-makes of the 80s classics. The other stuff is just crap. I miss growing up in the 80s and would watch Rubik over the horrid crap out now. Sometimes it seems that only the Japanese still take animation seriously today.

[teejaynumber13]

Now I have seen everything.

[GamerMafiaGeeks]

thumbs upp if you want to have this as the cubes background music

[gerberberick908]

WHAT AM I WATCHING?

[MarkVaderr]

The 80's had their share of good cartoons, but they also had their share of some terrible ideas too. This cartoon being one of them.

[fulltimepassgiri]

I HATE THE FUCKIN RUBIX CUBE ITS FUCKING EVAAALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAH

[TR50003]

I love this cartoon when I was a kid. I don't see why everyone hating on this show. They wasn't on drugs. The 70s, 80s, and 90s cartoons had something this generation don't have nower days...it's called an imagination.

[totallynothere]

@TR50003 no. it's called selling a product.

[TR50003]

@totallynothere Yeah but they were still using an imagination.

[Tabbimura]

@totallynothere

You're 150% per cent right!

[theTVchannel1000]

thats creepy

[pixiesinthehouse]

i have a mini robuki cube

[Unclevertitle]

What the crap, 80s? What were you on?

[SuperNES16]

Wow, um... wow. You really CAN make anything into a cartoon.

[phatomgun66]

lots and lots of drugs!....this is insane!

[MJisLove4life]

What The Fuck. where they smoking to much drugs when they made this?

[Kross2099]

Christ, that kid is a genius. Who the hell can complete a Rubiks Cube in less than four seconds?

[TheRaymond389]

@Kross2099 -hes probably asian

[Holloway6151975]

@Kross2099

did anyone notice the little girsl face at 0:15 she had a look like "wtf you never even seen a rubiks cube and you sovled that shit in less than for seconds.....you have way too much free time".....lol

[spiderswede]

@Kross2099 Masato Onobe from Japan did it in 2.84, Rowan Kinneavy from UK did it in 3.97. ;)

[todovideo111]

What-da-fuck

[emmane358]

...Interesting...

[aroseinthegarden]

I loved this show as akid. I haven't seen this in 30 years. I thought I dreamed it. I didn't here if it before or since it was on ABC.

[legorulez49]

so your telling me... that they made a cartoon out of a FUCKING PUZZLE TOY AND FUCKED IT UP BY GIVENG HIM A FACE AND LEGS!? jesus... WHY!? well at least its better than having a show about a FUCKING BARBIE! OR THEY MIGHT HAVE MADE ONE... bet they FUCKED that one up too

[Murderthepatient]

@legorulez49 Lol...whats so wrong about a cute little rubik thing :D

[JDBW]

The hell........

[Kemonokami]

I remember when Robot Jones spoofed this. ^^

[kfcomics7]

if you were just hearing the audio it sounds like hes saying ru,dick .

[cainster]

I love how Rubik is being transported in an 18th century horse and buggy carriage yet the kids who find him wear modern clothing and ride modern day bicycles. It's like the evil villain who was responsible for guarding the chest decided to not give a damn and just get nostalgic so he chose to rent a horse and take back roads through the country instead of putting the chest in his car trunk and driving to Vegas or Atlanta or wherever.

[Martinntoxx]

KILL IT WITH FIRE

[AntonyBlalock]

Man, i got to get off the acid

[BREBOYDE]

OMG!!!! did this toy was invented in the 80's?

[ColeVecsion]

0:18 NIGHTMARE FUCKING FUEL

[drawwalker]

o shit this cube is creepy!!!

[NathanRomml]

by the Emperor...what's this!?

[MDthornton83]

The theme that plays in the episode introduction screen sounds vaguely like the theme song that was used in Sylvester Stallone's Rocky movies.

[KaspuKasper]

checking color scheme... 2 reds impossible...

[this is just a sarchasm] [and i know i typed it wrong]

[philiptwood]

The Monoodles song the theme to this intro.

[swingersfan]

@philiptwood You mean to tell me that friggin' RICKY MARTIN played a part in the creation of this show???

[philiptwood]

@swingersfan Yep... The group were, at the time, very popular thus their cameo helped sell the show.

[jmannrock]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

[TomQuoVadis]

@jmb2nami See that actually sounds kind of cool. This is just stupid. Who wants to watch a colored block?

[jerbojones]

I remember watching this on ABC.

[kcsledge95]

Can't believe how easily Rubik got mixed up. All he had to do tumble down a hill.

[tannerrw1]

ahahahahahahhahahaha

[Dresdenstl]

This is so weird. A Companion Cube cartoon would be pretty great though.

[Bumblewave]

@Dresdenstl No it wouldn't. It would be the best cartoon ever.

[Damocles178]

Ha Ha :D

This has yet to happen to me though as I still can't solve my Rubik's cube D:

[asdf123495596]

wow

[raininess]

hahaha, there was a cartoon about a rubik cube?!

[xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx]

I think it's safe to say," What the fuck just happened?" O_o

[MichaelAarons1701]

So the cube only can do magic when all the sides are matching colors... so... what? Never? Wow, just like in reality.

[Wargoat6]

The only cartoon with an hispanic family. It made me feel so included into America. That and Menudo. Total sarcasm here.

Does anyone remember how screwed up Rubik talked when he was scrambled?

[Chaoitcme]

Rubik and Bill O'Riley look the same.

[Goobler402]

@Chaoitcme On the flip side, VanJones and Skeletor look the same too.

[russianimp1]

@Chaoitcme They do, only Rubik isn't an uninformed Nazi prick! Politics aside, cartoons like this are goofy as Hell, but they were awesome! Rubik and Saturday Supercade kicks the ass of any new animated crap that Cartoon network or anyone else puts out these days!

[hootyhaha]

I was a child of the 70s, 80s and pre teen in the early 90s. I crossed over :) I miss the cartoons of all decades. G-Force, Rude Dog & the Dweebs, Gummi Bears, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, Star Blazers, 2 Stupid Dogs, Johnny Bravo, Transformers, GUMBY, Danger Mouse, Banana Man, VISIONARIES, Johnny Quest. Blockbuster Online and Netflix R getting more retro toons. I wish people would write both companies and request more. Blockbuster online has an easy customer service contact form.

[AidenIsLove]

Rubik is wrong. They always have the white attached to the yellow. White is opposite yellow, green is opposite blue and orange is opposite red. This is so a color blind person can still do it and not be confused.

[ghouliegirl33]

I remember watching this!!! God I'm old...

[rbmt3rd2007]

yeah buddy! growing up in the 80's. Rubik's Cube was so popular back then. and in the 80's they made a cartoon for just about everything that was a fad or hugely popular. this used to be one of my favorite cartoons back in the day. one person's trash is another person's treasure as they say.

[EdNBrenda2010]

This is one of the crapiest cartoons ever made...period.

The group Munudo sang the tittle song (a bid by ABC to try to get the group "popular" among kids. All I can say is I'll watch a rerun of Johnny Quest and get more entertainment value than this piece of crap.

[MichaelAarons1701]

@EdNBrenda2010 Technically Menudo was chosen for the ethnicity angle but... yeah... this show sucks.

[alcockell]

@EdNBrenda2010 Thank Christ it never came across the pond.



[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

Wow thats not sad

[Pooky1991]

I had to see it too believe it.

[ericberner]

Eww, kids put that down. You don't know where it's been. and you Miguel, wash your hands, I mean it!

[Sodappend]

What is this I don't even

[gguru1]

I sure wish they made a pet rock cartoon.

[blackorby4]

Rubix cube?

[HarvestmanMan]

My music teacher used to be able to solve Rubik cubes by the basketful. Unfortunately, small blue gremlins never popped out of them.

[super58173]

Why make the Cube look like Yoda!? Wouldn't that SCARE kids?

[BanjoBoy123]

Dark ages of cartoons... when cartoonists had no say in anything, and executives made them work only on cartoons that were either about past shows (New Jetsons, New Tom & Jerry, etc.) or toys (He-Man, Rubik, etc.).

[EmperorJim]

What the fuck were people on in the 80's?

[KneeOJustice]

kinda looks like bill orielly

[MudoGuiasTecnologia]

xD YOU FAIL AT CREATING A CARTOON OF RUBICK CUBE

[sparkun]

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OL

[ryyu18]

What the fu** is that!?

[jlkmercer]

@countrybluegrass. You know your statement would be really really funny, if I was actually a male and not a female........so wonk wonk wooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnk!!

[jlkmercer]

I loved watching this cartoon. Mostly because menudo sang the theme song

[countrybluegrass]

@jlkmercer

Youtube isn't generally the best place to come out of the closet.

[jlkmercer]

I loved watching this cartoon. Mostly because manudo sang the theme song

[TB4000]

0:35 - the fact that I don't know who wrote the first episode of this piece of shit due to it being all blurry is going to haunt me forever.

[theHLetter]

it has a wtf color scheme

[UncleDeluxe]

A talking cube?!? Jeezus, the effing thing is like something people would see on LSD.

[baconlabs]

I've heard of saturday mornideo games, but this is preposterous.

[Blooperguy229]

How does a squared block have powers?

[Blooperguy229]

Hello my name is Ru-bIK

[Blooperguy229]

Ha! Ha! Wow....Donkey Kong cartoon? Pacman cartoon?!!! RUBIX CUBE CARTOON?!!! Starnge things.....

[lavendertorchic]

man! back then anything was a cartoon

[RORIKONKUMA]

die evil abomination



[HypercatZ]

When I was a kid I thought this cartoon was uber cool. A sentient rubik cube that can virtually do anything, but if he is hit he gets all messed up and loose even the ability to move or speak (his kryptonite).

I still remember in one episode he's found messed up by a monkey and the animal, after scrathing his head a bit, does some turns and solves it.

[TheChupaKing]

Bill O'Riley's old theme song!

[littlescratchykitty]

Wow, that might be a contender for Worst Cartoon of All Time.

[COMALiteJ]

@littlescratchykitty, yeah, but “Mission: Magic” would be some stiff competition. Look for it here on YouTube. It stars Rick Springfield. Yes, THAT Rick Springfield.

At least this cartoon gets the credit for being the first to feature a totally Hispanic cast of child protagonists.

[verbatimmags]

@littlescratchykitty (nope, that would be Hammertime (MC Hammers cartoon).

[Rubenazo666]

Dude, Where's my Rubick?

[talshiarr]

Of all the cartoon ideas that should never have been green-lighted, this has to be in the top three. The mind boggles at a Captain Ahab lookalike driving a colonial horse carriage with a chest holding a Rubiks cube, let alone having it fall out and being picked up by a bunch of 80's kids on bikes. In the middle of the night.

[RobsterokRespawn]

wait... There was a cartoon of a rubiks cube? (bursts out laughing).

I can't wait for pedto the jenga block.

[MacraStraba]

GOOD GOD THAT HEAD IS CREEPY

[invaderpink]

im sorry but can i just say........WHAT THE CRAP???

[KamenRiderMatrix]

Man you really can make a cartoon about anything...

[hodoupmer]

@KamenRiderMatrix

Boby the super piece of paper!!

[JMMPR24]

@hodoupmer : Sounds like a winner already...I won't even wait for the DVD! When's it coming out in theaters?! ;-) (I hear they're making a spin-off , too: Cassy, the Can that can" )

[Xavior86]

@KamenRiderMatrix Where's my colostomy bag cartoon then? :(

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

@KamenRiderMatrix They even made a computer game of a rubik's cube why don't you just buy a rubik's cube? LOL

[kvn8907]

@KamenRiderMatrix The movie "Everyone's Hero" attests to that.

[anerio4321]

@KamenRiderMatrix you can, doesnt mean you should

[MzMeanE]

Didn't Menudo sing this intro??? I hear accents...

[panda374]

Some how the the opening the music to cartoons was alot better.

[MGHSHour2a]

Lisa Is So Cheerful

[appelssien]

the guys who made it got some mental problems

[princessofthehill]

OMG!! Very disturbing o.O

[the24th1]

haha...look at bill o reilly

[Spidersaur]

It's fucking 3 years old- My name...is Ruuu-bik =3

[Lizzilolaphobia]

It looks like an old PedoSmurff.

[MzMeanE]

@Lizzilolaphobia LMBAO!!!!!!

[Whamesl0l]

oh my...

[WoofMichelle]

...What is that thing and how do I kill it?

[SinnFein4ever]

This is your brain.

This is your brain on LSD.

Any questions?

[goneutt]

@SinnFein4ever There isn't enough LSD to make me see a walking talking rubiks cube.

[SinnFein4ever]

@goneutt

LOL!

Then what do you think the makers of this show were on, when they came up with it?

XD

[QcCuber4]

ew wtf is this shit!!! D:

[Cai278]

lol

[mrhockeyfun]

really really ?!



[Flames649]

IS THIS FOR REAL!?

[SupaaGrover]

You guys are hilarious XD.
