  • If this is the only GI Joe version your child hood had, I feel sorry for you.

  • I still like the previous series/intro more.

  • whos the cobra guy who shoot missiles on his back at 0:32?

  • I remember Havin VHS Series of dis Cartoon :)

  • They took away the Real American Hero theme starting with this cartoon. Even cartoons have gotten politically correct.

  • I grew up in the '80's so I am an original Joe fan, but I love this intro!

  • at least this isn't G.I. JOE EEEXXXXTTREEEEEEEEMME

  • @bshanks26 better then the shitty live action movie that came out not that long ago. : D

  • @MultiSinoda the movie wasn't that bad, it was better then Bay's Transformers

  • I really give a Rats Ass if it is DIC or Sunbow/Marvel,this cartoon in all it's 80's&'90's glory are so fucking better than any DISNEY SHIT on (take your pick!!)Respond if you agree!

  • Give me the chest-thumping 80's intro any day.

  • I never saw a full episode so I don't know what to say. I would watch this before school.For the first 15 minutes I was eating breakfast watching the show. But for the second half I had to go to the bathroom to do hair and teeth etc . I never saw the endings.

  • I HATE the DiC series with a passion.

  • This intro wouldn't leave my head and now seeing it again, it won't leave. Although I liked the animated movie intro of G.I. Joe.

  • Gotta keep the target straight ahead in your siiiiiiiiights! Lol drunkely singing this while playing COD.

  • I used to love this show (both the original Sunbow-Marvel incarnation and this version). And yes, I'm female. I watched this with my brother.

  • It's weird, but I can't remember any of the episodes of this season. All I remember is that I thought that they were silly (the only thing I can remember is Sargent Slaughter and someone's family living in a sewer, and I changed the channel for that one).

  • THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO RUN AND FUCKIN SHOOT SOMETHING AT THE SAME TIME. AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! YO JOE!

  • at first i thought they was saying "got to get fucked, yo joe"

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't notice it until I read a few of the comments, but that does sound like "My name is Earl" doing the narration. That brings the sum total of redeeming qualities to: "1" for DIC's halfhearted attempt. Was Steve Sommers part of the production crew for this crap, too? At least we had the comic book to turn to when the cartoon finally crapped it's pants with this version of the series.

  • This is not and will never be GI Joe . . . Fuck, it's a pathetic imitation and Cobra Commander looked gay as hell in that intro.

  • This is my fave season of GI Joe. I love Road Pig and Metal Head. I also Love Night Creeper Leader.

  • go joe!!! fireproof bastards WHUT @ 3:01

  • This sucks. The GOLDEN age of Hasbro cartoons? 1984-1987. RIP good cartoons. Seriously.

  • Is this the same as the 80s GI Joe cartoon?

  • @BankaiIchigo12345

    Supposedly it's a sequel, although it was recorded with an entirely different voice cast up in Canada compared to the 80's series which had its voicework done in L.A. Some of the VAs did come back though: Cobra Commander, the Baroness, Hawk, and Sgt. Slaughter all had the same voice actors as they did in the original series.

  • When this sho was over I would run to school singin Go Joe got to get tough go Joe

  • @kennyken189 It's YO JOE, not, GO JOE

  • They didn't had a good reason to inject a lot of hidden anti soviet and ultra nationalistic bullshit into it's audience. However it was that bullshit what made the series so great.

  • I grew up with the 80's series which was awesome. I never watched this one in the 90's, but I heard it was not as good.

  • @dalmain77 Get with the new generation, older person

  • I used to watch this when I was in grade school. This song got me PUMPED UP every morning!

  • @Kev95682 hell yah me too it was over right when it was time to go to school

  • @orionblaze000 please go die in a fire thanks

  • I don't like this Cobra BAT's

  • This is 90s as fuck.

  • damn .. this song is so GOD DAMN GOOOOOOOD!

  • The 80s one is better but this one isn't too bad.

  • not bad...but 80s one was so much better.

  • B+ For effort, and for bringing the show back.

  • The song itself isn't terrible.

    But good Lord, that animation, the episodes, horrid.

  • God this intro reminds me of Waynes World 2 how they commercialized the intro to his show...doesn't sound good!

  • Nobody in the world loves GI Joe more than me, But this version fucking sucks.

  • @srvfan454 I do :P well at least equal to you..the thing is that this version cannot compare to the original!!

  • The DIC series sucked! However, I did kind of like Cobra Commander's new look, but that was really it.

  • Cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!­

  • This is the same G.I. Joe I saw on the USA Cartoon Express. USA. Characters welcome.

  • Personally my favorite was the 87 movie intro. With the Cobra scream intro lol. But that's me.

  • DIC raped GI-JOE and didnt' even let them have a cigarette at the end, bring back the 80's !

  • @superflash007 I agree. Sunbow/Toei Doga's version of G.I. JOE is better.

  • I was SO mad when they change to this theme song ugh. But I like hearing it now. I grew up in the 80s and 90s so now I like both.

  • Cobra Commander is suppose to be such a bad guy but he has this high pitched squeky voice. And the movie...exactly when in the series did they use so much performing enhancing armor.

    They should have made a real life version of the Headman episode. (the one where Cobra and GI Joe joined up against a drug lord) That would have been a movie.

  • I dont remember this, guess i wasnt into it by then. However this intro is atrocious!

  • Watch the original GI Joe mini-series. There was the 80's animated series, but right before it was the mini-series which was like the pilot for the series. IIRC, there was actually 2 of them.

  • Surprisingly at this point the comic produced some really good stuff. Hama was allowed to kill off some of the more cartoonish characters and focused a lot on Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow/Scarlett/Stalker. Also Cobra Commander was made even more ruthless.

  • I don't know much about this version, don't remember it. I will say this, the original intro was TONS better.

  • no snake eyes = fail!

  • @ELJimO1985 He's in the lineup at the end, up front. 

  • movie version was the best, I remember this, this was awful,

  • Była to moja ulubiona kreskówka. Oddałbym wszystko na jej reaktywacje.

    That was my favourite cartoon. I could give everything for repruduction cartoon.

  • Well for all the people who hate the DIC version, keep in mind that Sunbow fucked it up by bringing Serpentor in so DIC had a hard time trying to fix their fuck up. Second, while I'll agree that this GI Joe was not as good as Sunbow's, this is a far better intro with better music than 80s Joe, I don't care how nostalgic you are. Third, the GI Joe arcade game based on the DIC series, was fucking awesome.

  • I didn't care for this part of the series. for me it started to fall off since the movie. especially when they started to shoot chemicals, forgot which series was that one.

  • The first was better but even this version crushes everything out there today.

  • Can't touch the earlier one.

  • i just saw the original intro and now this ....

  • I just watched a full episode of this junk. It was literally one of the worst cartoons I've ever seen in my entire life. The writing, dialogue, animation, and action sequences were all a MAJOR step down from the original.

    It was mind numbingly stupid, and it paced itself at a snail's crawl. I'm horrified, amazed, and outraged at what Dic(k) has done to one of my favourite cartoon series of all time.

    Pathetic.

  • Bare in mind this was the 90's-there was major shift as a lot of the original writers, staff, voice actors. etc. left the whole genre altogether.

    Plus, there was a major storyline shift to try to adjust the GIJoe storyline to the new social/political realities of the 90's. Ex. previously alot of Cobra's villains had Russian accents, but after this they started having regular voices. It robbed the series of a lot of its charm.

  • @dkupke: Man i agree with you 100%. I grew up in the 90s so i only know this version but when i watched the 80s version of GI Joe, i see the greatness of that version.

  • go 80's

  • @dkupke The Baroness was the only one I remember with a Russian accent

  • @dkupke Bozhe moi, baby.

  • @dkupke WHO GIVES A SHIT THIS IS A UNITED NATION/USA/Corporate PRO MILITARY PROPAGANDA CARTOON AND NOTHING ELSE!!! WAKE THE HELL UP!!!

  • @Elvception1979:

    Shut up, dude. You don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.

    @dkupke & @chaosdimension24:

    I agree with you & everyone else who's against G.I. Joe that was done by DiC. The G.I. Joe from '83 to '86 that was done by Sunbow & Marvel easily tops the version that was done by DiC from '89 to '91.

  • @WizardOfWor I agree with you too, Sunbow was better then DIC. Why heck some of the cartoons done by DIC where shity like Care Bears for example, I liked the Nelvana version better. The only shows that DIC did do a good job on was Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and Dennis The Meance.

  • @stainshield whos the cobra guy who shoot missiles on his back at 0:32? thanks..

  • @cobramoon1 Metalhead.

  • @cobramoon1 his name is metal head i have the figure

  • @stainshield

    3 shows? I'm assuming these were the only one's you watched. Even I gave credit to DIC when it was due.

  • Is this series made by DIC is on DVD yet?

  • Never seen this before. Doesn't look nearly as good as the original.

  • Espectacular tema COBRA ! ! ! ! !

  • i used to have an old vhs tape of this.

  • I never seen the dic gijoe toon, only the original. i'm curious to watch some of these episodes.

  • Man I want ALL of those toys

  • Shitty intro!

  • Man why does this suck so bad? Oh wait, it's by DiC, no wonder.

  • This version of the cartoon was an abomination.

  • ALRIGHT! My favorite GI JOE cartoon intro, first time I've seen it since I was eight years old. I still remember the lyrics word for word. My friends and I used to play GI Joe when we were kids. When I had to be a Cobra, I was always picked to be Cobra Commander, because I could impersonate him like Agent Faces from the later series on Toonami. I was also good at impersonating Serpentor.

  • I think DIC made GI JOE worse.

  • didn't they make everything worse? XD

  • Good memories. ^^

  • sooooooo much neon!

  • gah...I forgot all about this....

    the original series was SOO much better.

  • but the song was catchy dont you agree

  • I'll admit at 9 years old...the song was pretty catchy.

  • Well I liked this one much more because these characters were the toys with which I used to play I can see Ambush , Heavy duty , BAT , Desert Scorpion , Pathfinder , Hawk , Metal head and Dusty s dog and others whose name I forgot .

    and , as far as I know , the original ones never became toys on the market (or they were not popular) .

  • Let's just say - "DiC sucks."

    Wait...

  • you're right, vincent, he does. i didn't realize it until i read your comment.

  • the narrator sounds like Jason Lee from "My Name Is Earl"

  • it's like a godamned US ARMY commercial to get kids interested in joining the armed forces. damned shame! we knew it was fake when we were kids! and so we wanted to be COBRA!!!

  • @vincentpricesnephew

    Don't forget GI Joe had the reputation of being called a 30 minute toy commercial.

  • it was a cool series not as good as th 80's but they kept it goin

  • now you know your were a gi joe fan when always get into a fight at school and you yell out GO JOE!!

  • I can remember this being the staple of my after school programming, alongside SWAT. Anyone else? Or am I just nuts?

  • God, I miss the good ol days, when cartoons were actually entertaining and had a good message at the end of each episode. Plus, i loved the theme song for this G.I.Joe series.

  • GO GO GO GADJET THIS ISENT AS GOOD AS SUNBOW.

    Honestly, if sunbow wasent going to be Gi Joe anymore.. atleast someone continued even if its not as good. I mean the best DIC did was the Operation Dragonfire and bringing Cobra Commander back... The worst DIC did.. well mostly the last season episodes were pure GARBAGE. aka.. Cobra Commander fighting with school children.

  • I think DIC made G.I. Joe better.

  • what ? they can't say Cobra is a Terrorist Organization anymore? just evil?

  • yep good ole tv censors(oh you can't say terrorist, or die,or killed because it might send kids the wrong message).

  • Just be glad they let them keep guns and missiles in tact.

  • lol you got that right. "Hey you cant's shoot anything at the bad guys try talking to them instread they might be misunderstood" yep that will stop meglomaniacal dictator bent on ruling the world all right

  • What?? Cobra Commander fighting with school children better??? Are you freaking serious!

    The only thing I can say is THANK GOD that DIC didnt make the movie because we would be in serious trouble.

  • I remember seeing this in 1990 and thinking WTF IS THIS CRAP?! this is so dumb! the 80s intro was sooo much better!

  • Yeah but the theme caugh on. When i was in 2nd grade my classmates would chant "Got to Get Tough!" during recess

  • yeah, but you were 2nd graders, us 5th graders knew better ;)

  • Thanks for the comment ragnarok1326. If these stupid TV execs. Would just come up with a channel devoted to the 80's they would get a hell of a following. The way they are messing with TV today is shameful. Their is not one new show I care to watch! The only shows I care to watch start at about 9-10 pm then I am so tired I don't get to watch them most nites. So why am I paying Dish all this money??? We need to send a message to Dish and the compines that air on their network.

  • I just bought season one from walmart of the original 80's version. I love this cartoon and I am 28. I think if the older cartoons would air they might help our children into todays world. The cartoons today suck. No morales or anything. At least GI Joe, He-Man, SheRa, Jem and the holograms and etc. All had a point and a good message.

  • yeah man, bunch of shit for cartoons nowdays

  • The only thing the DIC cartoon did right was that they kept Snake Eyes and Scarlett a couple like they are in the comics, instead of ignoring their relationship and putting her with Duke, like the Sunbow cartoon from the 80's did. That's the one thing I always hated about the 80's cartoon, and it's caused nothing but confusion and divisiveness ever since!

    If the 80's show had kept Scarlett with Snake Eyes, it would've been so much better! Who cares if he can't talk!

  • Agreed. Surfing around on YouTube, and I'm 32. The cartoons had positive messages, and much better animation than the slapstick sick stuff that's been on for the past 15 or so years. Even though "Jem" was targeted at girls, the animation on the intro was excellent. Sharp quality. Same for "Thundercats"....liked SWATKats in the '90s, too...yeah I'm rambling...

  • I miss cartoons that had guns and explosions...now all we have is SpongeBob sigh

  • Yeah, all those shots conveniently never hitting the people and only the vehicles lol classic

  • The DIC version sucked so fucking bad. I hated the Inspector Gadget-type animation.

  • Just think our kids are gonna think bullshit like Chowder and Johnny Test we're the shit. I let my 10 year old nephew look at just some intro from the 80's and 90's cartoon and he went crazy.

  • I'm 24 and I still go crazy when ever I hear the thundercats intro.

  • Good Lord this is awful. I'm going to go watch the original to get this noise out of my ears.

  • Esta es una de las temporadas que más me gustó, Espectaculares ! ! !

  • "Yo Joe"

    All these years i thought it was "Go Joe"

  • "Go Joe"

    All these years i thought it as "GI Joe"

  • Im talking about the lyric in the description, not the title of the show moron.

    I know its called G.I Joe i watched it myself when i was little.

  • dic version fucking sucks ass

  • This version is the reason fans stopped collecting the toys and stopped watching the show. Thank goodness for the 25th anniversary revival -it almost makes me forget about this stupid shit.

  • @legorock123 They had to go and get Liberal on us.. hahahahahaha

  • @legorock123 dic whas dicks

  • @legorock123 It really does!!

  • @legorock123 this version was rockin

  • @legorock123

    are you freaking kidding me? the morals at the end of orginl gi joe was to childish and gi joe original animated movie was good. but this gi joe was way better. but the original g.i. joe episodes it self were good. but not like these episodes in the 90s. 90s gi joe way better

  • @legorock123 Not as bad as that one on fox a few years ago.

  • Oh goodness, this brings back childhood memories. This is the cartoon I grew up with, I loved the theme song, and had many of the action figures. 90's cartoons were so much better than cartoons nowadays.

  • lmao! count the explosions. I'm surprised the wolf didn't blow up.

  • this is the one I grew up with but I loved A Real American Hero a lot better

  • 80's intro OWNs it three times over

  • 80s intro was so much better.

  • Thats true

  • @Voltron1980s

    Hell Nah!!!!!! 80s gi joe intro was corny as hell.

  • @mawkcc bullshit it was! how the hell was the 80s intro corny?

  • can you help, i don't know this gi joe version, is never aired in latin america, this tv show did has more chapter or a complete season, please i need informacion....gretting from Chile...the end of the world

  • si la pasaron en Mexico de hecho tengo la coleccion completa de figuras de la serie de DIC.

  • owned by the 80's intro

  • never liekd this one haha

  • this was the first gi joe shit I saw growing up.

  • This is the theme i remember.

  • crap..and this wasn't from 1990..it came a lil later

  • the original is a fuck load better

  • What are you complaining about? Micronesia has a soccer team.

  • And I wish that one, if not all, of the overly critical people could have their lips stapled shut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I loved this cartoon:D The movie kicked ass six ways to sunday, too.

  • Stupid way of making a new G.I. Joe series. Classic characters like DUKE will always be the right way to go.

  • The movie pretty looked like this the intros and toy commercials...for 2 hours. It had a ridiculous plot, technology acting, they put the playsets and tv show scenery into the movie.... In other words, it was so bad, it was great. I guess the biggest difference is 20 years of style evolution... If cobra commander had a better mask and if the movie ended with a PSA, i'd have been satisfied, maybe next time. Then again, I think Marlon Wayans gave a PSA in the middle.. dunno if it was on purpose

  • and knowing is half the battle!

    People snikered when they said it

  • i completely missed when they said that. I also wished I could have seen Sgt. Slaughter.

  • I think the PSA was on purpose, lol.

    Hell, they even workked in "knowing is half the battle"

  • hey DIC GI Joe fans...i just want to tell you Rise of Cobra was awesome.  felt just like you were watching this. too bad they didn't play this song at the end. anyhow, what are you waiting for...go see it...now!

  • Well a recruit in training is self expplanitory. She is a recruit of snake-eyes who is still being trained regardless of previous training.

  • wow im glad i grew up on the older ones lol

  • Charlie. Foxtrot.

  • I know a lot of GIJoe fans disregard the DiC episodes as never happening, but for the completists, why has no one bothered to release the episodes on DVD? I'm sure SHOUT Factory could get the rights to it, since they did other DiC properties. And, sure enough, they're doing the Sunbow ones now anyway.

  • Sure SHOUT Factor COULDDD get the rights to the DiC GI JOE... but Would it sell? There lies the big Question...

    WILL IT SELL?

    I say NO.

    Now if only a company would pick up the Transformers Headmasters from Japan and get the American G1 actors to do the voice.. ahh, that would be sweet.

  • Yes. If Armada, Energon and Cybertron, three of the worst cartoons in existence, let alone transformers shows, can come out and sell... why can't the lesser quality (but still much better than the alternative) GI Joe shows not sell?

  • I miss Metal Head... Bang! hehaaahh Bang!

  • I like this Intro then the other intro of G.I Joe.

  • What's interesting is Sunbow,dic,sgt.savage,spytroop­s,valorvs.venom,sigma6,extreme­&resolute is actually all in the same continuity and in the same universe as Transformers G1. Check out Cobra commander in a Transformers episode on youtube. I guess thats what happened to him after resolute. (Season 3&4 ofTFg1 took place in 2010.)

  • I hate to burst your bubble Wanna be Fan-Boy but Only Sunbow, Dic and Transformers G1 were in the Same Continuity. Everything else is from an "alternate universe"

  • OK, I might belive U on resolute Being in an alternate universe, but what proof do U have of the others? Oh & BTW since TF G1 season 3 takes place in 2006 in the USA but 2010 in Japan I got confused.... Cobraaaa!

  • DiC picked up where the Sunbow movie left off. Storm Shadow became a Joe in the DiC series with no indication that he went back to cobra. This Fact conflicts with SigmaSix, Valor vs Venom and Spytroops. Another Conflict is Jinx being an apprentice in V vs. V. and Sigma6. Wouldn't she be a master by now if she joined the team during the Sunbow movie?

    Sunbow and Dic - same continuity, Sgt Savage and Extreme being part of it is debatable.

    SpyTroops, V vs. V, SigmaSix - Alternate Universe.
