@XxShadowvalkyriexX No! NO!!! No, sir! This most CERTAINLY was NOT EPIC! Everybody STOP abusing the word "Epic" in Youtube commentary! ... (The actual intro, though, truly was EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!)
This is pretty funny. If only The bottom of the "HBO" would've been showing and thw whole thing was horizantal. And i wish they had done the whole thing with the toys. It would've been really cool. It would be Like HBO Kids.
March of 1978, HBO was installed on the enormous 27 inch Zenith Color TV in what was lovingly called, the “rec” room, of my family home in Green Brook, NJ.
From that point one I became obsessed with two things. Cable TV and HBO Guides!
Vintage HBO Guides on Facebook already has about 15 complete guides and grows bigger every day...check it out!
OMG I remember this! I was a kid, and I remembered when this came on! If I recall, it started out with mice sitting in the living room, and a head dropping in upside-down from the top! I often wondered why there weren't any other pictures rated 'B' after this. LOL
They don't make them like that anymore. No...really, they really need to throw this baby in front of some episode of True Blood or Curb Your Enthusiasm and make people call their cable systems to find out what the heck they're watching without any realization that this "used to be HBO".
There are dinosaur noises as well as airplane noises. Having not seen it for over 15 or so years, the exact spacing and the proper ratio of dino noises to airplane noises, seems to elude me for some reason. Hmmm.
You could see someone holding that lighter to make that spark right as the HBO logo is dropping, plus it's funny how that guy spins the logo with his hand, haha.
This is a totally awesome parody of their classic HBO bumper/opening! Didn't realize HBO had made this themselves, and aired it only once ever(sad to think they didn't bring it back at least once or twice).
My friend died last year from chain letters repost this or she will come and kill you every thime u here a ring in your ear she will make your life shorter and shorter repost this to 10 other videos sorry i started to here stupid ringing
Hmmm ... I noticed that there are 3 different movies cited as the movie it introduced ... maybe the reason is that we're from 3 different regional time zones.
YESSS!!!!! I've been wondering if this one was lost to the ages! Definitely the funniest of HBO's April Fool's intro gags!
