Fonz and the Happy Days Gang Opening

[SpaceChief75]

I knew this wasn't a bad fever dream from the time I had walking Pneumonia as a kid. Youtube..for those of us who feel the need to prove to the youth of America that all children's entertainment in the 70's and 80's was thought up by acid freaks.

[AshokaAnandaeSaha]

And they are like travellin through time… stoned off their minds, that's what they are.

[PackedInsanity]

I love the new Dr. Who opening.

[existtraiesc]

...the fuck was that?...

i remember my parrents bombarding me with 70s - 80s culture after communism.

it was cool while i was little but not it's just weird. it lacks 3D-ness

[WiMoTj]

This was a weird season of Doctor Who...

[metav3rvse]

what a fantastic era the 80's was.

[SwedxSimon02]

Aaand.. A future chick namebuh CUPcake

[SwedxSimon02]

''can you dig it''

*no crowd reaction*

''YYEEEA''

[emmers57]

why was it every fucking cartoon in the seventies either had a time machine or took place in outer space?

[zestydude87]

good news, i remember this. Bad news, i remember this.... lol

[thorshammer1348]

WoW ruins what was left of Fonzies so called cool-ness

[MrPlanetvideogame]

A little trivia: This show was originally going to be a animated adaption of Doctor Who. Unfortunately, BBC refused to grant Hanna-Barbera rights to the series. So they turned it into this mess.

[wrestletube1]

1980. Looks like there were plenty of stinkers as well as goodens in the 80s.

Not as bad as the naughtys and the tenths where there has only been crap ones other than the comedy based ones and even those are falling in quality.

I must get my fix of cartoons even now though so I'm sticking with the comedy ones including Simpsons within them as even one new Simpsons is better than an entire Ben 10 series.

[demoskunk]

soooo bad, damn!

[VidzNajar]

A time machine that like travels through time? You don't say

[tulllguy]

that song sucks

[starguard]

The Narrator for this cartoon sounds just like a 70's radio annoucer name Wolfman Jack we used to listen to

[tulllguy]

@starguard it IS Wolfman Jack

[starguard]

@tulllguy Cool :-)

[Astraldragon1]

@starguard , It is Wolfman Jack who was the narrator.

[starguard]

@Astraldragon1 Thanks

[cainster]

this was a real show???? 

[wbboehm]

Truly awful

[Gxyz222]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa...this toon blows!

[tchetta]

I so had the hotz for cupcake!

[mrlijones89]

Cocaines a hellava drug.

[Pu22leDucK]

a genuine time traveling pie

[BobbyDrake2000]

Think about it: Fonzie's time traveling prevented Chuck Cunningam from ever being born. That's why no one remembers him or acknowledges his existance in the live action series.

[andyjay729]

The FCC should have some kind of law against talking dog mascots. (Not lead characters or sidekicks, but Slimer-style mascots.) And yes, that includes Scrappy Doo and not Scooby.

[The4EverYoung85]

@andyjay729 Nah, they think boobs and swearing is more offensive than talking dog mascots and Sara Jessica Parker's face (remember what Peter Griffin said on the episode of Family Guy where Peter starts his own TV channel filled with uncensored shows).

[FolstrimHori]

I have never seen this before but I want that dog to die.

[ninjabuddy1]

I have a new favourite show.

[Attila709]

Getting lost in a time machine with a hot girl doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me. Cupcake I'm waiting for you!!!

[SuperCartiel]

Hideous. Awful blasphemy.

You always had terrible rip-offs of great prime time shows. This was beyond terrible; a bad rip-off of 'Far Out Spacenauts" and "Lost Saucer".

This is the show that killed "Happy Days". Really.

[The4EverYoung85]

@SuperCartiel But Happy Days was already dead at this point. It would be the equivalent of someone making a cheesy Saturday Morning version of The Simpsons.

[BossPanzer]

I would rather like to bite my own ass then go back to Milwaukee.

[nosgothgbr]

Well that made me wince...

[chada75]

Why, Wolfman Jack, Why?

[FiendsInRedSatin1]

Man...Wolfman Jack, did you really need a paycheck THAT BAD?

[teejaynumber13]

Poor Cupcake... Of all the shitty places in time to wind up at...

[leoconvoy]

Wolf Man Jack,ftw!!!!!

[WestPictures]

and

now they

are

like

travellin' though

like

TIME

[PocketSizedOwlHikari]

Man, they made a cartoon for EVERYTHING in the 80s x_x

[MproductionsMovies]

I almost threw up watching this...

[skeaneable]

give me the Meatballs and Spaghetti show anytime!

[HisEmptyHouse]

In a universe of terrible ideas for cartoon shows...

[paathimself]

That looks awful

[landrykkb]

@cockmunkey I'm thinking that 3's Company was too adult oriented to make a cartoon format out of.How would you sanitize that sitcom premise for kids?

[The4EverYoung85]

@landrykkb Simple: just change it so that way they are friends in school (middle or elementary) and tone down the wacky, sexual hijinks to things that 6th to 8th graders would go through (or supposedly go through according to Hollywood writers and executives who are out of touch with reality).

[figocooldude]

The fuck is this shit.

[kewanw16]

@TheCalicoTwo Yes he did .

[Attila709]

@TheCalicoTwo

Yes, and Ron Howard and Donny Most did the voices for their characters.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Potsie was too cool to be in this cartoon.

[landrykkb]

@LT1HILLINGHOE I thought Potsie would have been a welcome addition to this,considering he was goofy and all.it's possible that Anson Willliams either wanted nothing to do with it or was unavailable.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@landrykkb I was being sarcastic in my comment. I think Potsie should have been in the toon too.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@LT1HILLINGHOE Sorry for the thumbs down,I was thinking of Rowf The Mouth,He wasnt in this cartoon either...Rowf The Mouth wasnt in this cartoon because he was problably too busy VOICE CASTING ->The Cavalier in the classic DUNGEONS & DRAGONS CARTOON. Now thats 1 cartoon that _DIDNT SUCK BACK IN 1980-1990's!_Especially since the voice cast also included Cullen,the guy voiceing G1 Optinus Prime

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX And Ralph Malph is in this cartoon. He is right there....the only one missing is Potsie.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@LT1HILLINGHOE Yor right,Rowf Mouth was in this cartoon,Does anybody even still have this cartoon recorded on VHS to ->**UPLOAD THE WHOLE SEASON HAPPY DAYS GANG ON YOUTUBE? The only 2 other cartoons I remember watching on saturdays was PANDAMONIUM (and yes,that was even worse than Happy Days gang!) but those 3 pandas did have thier best moments >;-3 )p for a 3 stooges reject-2nd cartoon was DUNGEONS & DRAGONS which was lot better,had PETER CULLEN AS *VENGER*

[MrSnrub666]

at what point do they eat the dog?

[snipelfritz]

This is so funny that I had to go to the bathroom in between the second and third viewing just to make sure I didn't piss myself.

[Zubuda1]

Happy Days + Quantum Leap

[jruwing87]

it's like the narrator himself doesn't know what the fuck he is watching while he talks about it.

"And now they like... uhm, got zapped into that time machine... uhm...!"

[DoctorPretorious616]

@jruwing87 The narrator was none other than legendary disc jockey Wolfman Jack, yes; the dude from "American Graffitti"!

[Daviticus042]

"Can you dig it?" No, but I'll bury it!;)

[Fangarius]

Actually, what really happened was Hanna-Barbera wanted to originally make an animated Doctor Who Cartoon (since from the 70s, all the Sat. morning producers kept vying the BBC for permission) but the talks failed, and as usual, the network (ABC) decided on using the Fonz and the Gang. Because if you look at the inside of the 'Time Machine' it does have sort of a TARDISesque like atmosphere to it. Not to mention the 'lost in time' theme going on.

[Attila709]

@Fangarius

I heard that they had orginally planned on making a Fonz cartoon but didn't know what he would be doing. When they asked Henry Winkler he said he would only take part if the show was in some way educational for kids. So they came up with the time traveling idea in hopes that children would get interested in history.

[SpitshineSneakers]

This is like a parody of a Fonz cartoon

[WizardGlik]

I'll support ANY PROJECT without Warren Weber.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@WizardGlik Almost afraid to ask,Who is Warren Weber?

[dabigtito]

Holy Crap this was actually a cartoon?

[silentblacklist]

Ugh this narrator sounds like a white Bill Cosby.

[rumproast2000]

@silentblacklist That's Wolfman Jack!

[lunchmeat400]

I think it only aired a couple of episodes, but i do remember it, very bad idea

[WitherWing59]

I remember it being weird that they decided to make The Fonz still look about 40 while he was hitting on a teenage girl. They had an excuse on the live show, but here?!?

[thatguysreviews]

This entire series was jumping the shark

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@thatguysreviews Whats even funnier is the Henry Winkler "JUMPED THE SHARK,...TWICE!" Henry jumped over a shark that had been caught on the docks in a show many years later =)p Not often U see an actor or actress make fun of thier Classic character in todays Low Quality productions

[prausch65]

Where is Richie's brother Chuck?

[Horsemanray]

@prausch65 I always thought he died in vietnam.

[KairuHakubi]

this sounds so much like a family guy parody sequence I can't believe it..

"and.... a future chick name-a Cupcake!"

I love it when the time machine is just shooting ahead a few hundred feet in space, and apparently traveling a little bit forward in time at the same time, because of how long it takes to reappear.. also Cupcake is hot.

[The4EverYoung85]

@KairuHakubi "this sounds so much like a family guy parody sequence I can't believe it.." Yes, but I can also picture Saturday Night Live doing this as either a live-action sketch or as part of their TV Funhouse cartoon series (TV Funhouse also did a parody of the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon where the Globetrotters play basketball against Jesus, Mary, and Joseph).

[kallemick]

when i heard abou this i started to laugh i just dont think these characters traveling in time would be a good idea..... then again i havent watched the actual show but it dosent sound too good

[Sadsic]

how the hell did people survive the 80's

[3dartistguy]

i remember watching this...god awful

[slovan]

What...The...Fuck?

[IHS7]

wheres Potsi?

[lawpunker]

I heard Potsy wasn't available because he was negotiating his own cartoon.

[SergeantBasterd]

25 people couldn't dig it... :)

[Takeshi357]

As a spinoff of a TV series portraying life from mid-50's to mid-60's featuring TIME TRAVEL, I refuse to believe this show could possibly be anything other than embarassing to watch.

[Attila709]

Yes, and don't forget Marion, Howard, Arnold, Al, Chachi, Joanie, Pinky, Leather, Lori Beth, Roger, Jenny Piccalo, Officer Kirk, and all of Fonzies girlfriend. Lets get as many people into that damn time machine as possible. It just can't be a Saturday morning kids cartoon without them!!

[lonechief]

I remember this show when I was a kid . Fonz, Richie, Ralph....guess they must have forgotten about Potsie.

[gurglelord]

What the heck? The dog? Fonzie's dog was named Spunky.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@gurglelord When did The FONZ get a dog? What episode of Happy Days or Happy Days Again (Where Al was replaced with that Chineze guy) I saw reruns of these shows,but missed when Fonzie got a dog-Upload the episode of when Fonzie firstgot his dog, =) Anyone watching this horrible cartoon recognize Mr.Cools voice as The GO-BOTS CARTOON as Scooter,He was the voice of JOHNY 5 from both SHORT CIRCUIT movies& as Slimer from The GHOSTBUSTERS CARTOON,then later on TRANSFORMERS BEAST WARS as Waspinator?

[gurglelord]

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX Ok. Let me tell ya something. The Fonz used to have I think it was a small, brown dog named Spunky in one episode. I remember that Spunkie wasn't feeling well and Fonzie was doing everything he knew how to do to cheer him up. I can't remember the episode name and I can't upload it onto YouTube because it's not on my DVR anymore. And Al wasn't replaced by Arnold, (The Chinese guy) Arnold was replaced by Al later in the show. But you should check to see if that episode is on here.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

@gurglelord Al replaced Arnold amd then Arnold replaced Al later on in the series.

[gurglelord]

@LT1HILLINGHOE *Snaps fingers* Oh yeah! You're right. I remember seeing a christmas special from the end of the series with Arnold back instead of Al. I stopped watching before it got to that point in order. I watched it on the Hub. But I still love that show! Now back to the present... What is this anyway? This is an incredibly uncanon knockoff! Why was this even made? And time travel? How unfitting...

[rickysolomon]

in the 1970's everyone was on cocaine. EVERYONE.

[islezeus]

@rickysolomon Even little babies? Bwahahaha!

[Daviticus042]

@rickysolomon This show is from the '80s so that's not really relevant. Sorry!

[The4EverYoung85]

@Daviticus042 Yes, but the 80s had cocaine just like the 1970s.

[sd31263]

@rickysolomon Tell me about it. I was there. ;)

[starguard]

@rickysolomon ROFLMAO :D :D

[07886336]

fuck you this show isnt awful

[ledawg1138]

@07886336 Yes it is.

[Randomizer77]

you made 1 video of a old animation from the 1950's........ and it gets veiws.

im amazed.

[ibookflippa1]

wait who would want to go back to 1957 Milwaukee? really.

[theblazingangel]

@ibookflippa1 LOL... I'm from London so I'm guessing... no! ;0)

[GreasyRockabilly]

@ibookflippa1 mebbe 1957 South Philly , or Harlem

[BuddyFantastic]

@ibookflippa1 i'd happily go back to 1957, period, in a time machine. The music was great.

[PEANUTLOVEDADY]

@ibookflippa1 me i would love to go hang out with the happy days crew good clean fun

[Jojoateyt]

@ibookflippa1 thats word for word exactly what i was saying.

[trillination]

@ibookflippa1 yah If i had a time machine i would go to the year 40,000.(yes people that far) just to see how advance human life is. if there is any left. where cancer is as threatening as a sneeze and people are carbon based life forms.

[BandakaKush]

This is fucking genious. They need to make this into a movie. 

[Depthcharge2030]

long live the fonz and his powers over eveything

[lp234]

So does Fonz have God-like control of machines or something? A jukebox is one thing, but a time machine?!

[Skraboing649]

@lp234 Doesn't Cupcake run the time machine? Jeez, I haven't seen this for like 25 years!

[lp234]

@Skraboing649

I was referring to when Fonz just hit the time machine and it turned on.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@lp234 Not exactly god like powers,more like a Backyard Mechanic attemping to correct the SHORT CIRCUITS in machines,thats what happened to that jukebox when the Fonz hit it-that jukebox had wire loose and get knocked back when Fonzie hit jukebox in certain spot-Fonzie was best character of Any show he was in until shows like this ran out of ideas that led to that JUMPING THE SHARK joke

[sErgEantaEgis12]

24 people couldn't dig it...

[KamenRiderMatrix]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Rewayah]

The Egyptian translated Arabic version of 'Fonz and the Happy Days Gang' had a very unique, catchy and memorable opening song!

But it is very old that no one uploaded it on YouTube! =(

I bet the originals are lost or destroyed..

If I am not mistaken, I think it was retiled 'Aalat Al-Zamman' (The Time Machine).

[Smartboy8877]

@Rewayah

I had no idea that there was an Arabic version of this cartoon! Very interesting!

[TB4000]

See, the fact that he has a dog named Mr. Cool would actually negate any actual coolness Fonzie may have had.

[Aeolis7]

They dissed Pottsie yet again!

[Smartboy8877]

@Aeolis7

I always wondered about Potsie's absence in this! Does anyone know why his character was not included?

[Attila709]

@Smartboy8877 I don't know if you ever watched this show but there really wasn't any need for additional characters. Ritchie and Ralph became a pretty good comic duo. Actually Ralph did a great job all by himself. Cupcake had her moments as well. The only unnecessary part was Mr Cool. He was irritating, and you couldn't even understand what he was saying half the time.

[Smartboy8877]

@Attila709

As a matter of fact, I did watch this cartoon from time to time. I thought it was pretty decent as cartoons from that era go.  I noticed the absense of Potsie, but never really received an explantion as to why he was left out. I wondered if it might have to do with contract issues or something of that nature. I am sure that if I really wanted to know the answer, it is on the Internet somewhere. In any event, nice chatting with you!

[Attila709]

@Smartboy8877 Could be contract issues, or he didn't have room in his schedule, or just wasn't interested. Both Donny Most and Ron Howard had recently left Happy Days when this cartoon was made. So they had the free time.

[Smartboy8877]

@Attila709

Thank you for that very well thought out reply! Because of all of these ideas that have been regenerated in my head, I am tempted to look these issues up on the internet. After I do so, I will be sure to come back and share my findings with my buddies here! Bye!

[Gasbandit]

Since when does "and two other guys" constitute a "gang?"

[Rewayah]

@Gasbandit Lolz

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@Gasbandit Watch that CGI cartoon,ReBOOT-HACKER and SLASH makes up the "Gang" in that Very Hilarious cartoon

[chazbigpotato]

Narneen fiddy sevin milwawkee

Can you diggut?

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the hokey narrator. Oh gods this is rich.

[CommanderOfTheSun]

[darkmindedsith]

@Angerlevel

Props for the "Radioactive Man" reference. :D

[Martinntoxx]

...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AA?!!!!!!!?!?!?!

[cubanlinx95]

this is the silliest shit I've ever seen, and saw that movie 8 legged freaks.

[anxresi]

EVERYBODY was high when involved with this offal, especially the narrator..

[68beatles]

what year was this?

[MrFloydianSlip]

Sadly,I remember this piece of shit...I think this was when Saturday morning cartoons jumped the shark.

[ADAMTHEKILLJOY]

atleast he didnt jump the shark...

[elmickeyman]

What the fuck is wrong with that dog?? Why would they add a pet with a basketball tumor in its head??

[stevieboy247]

I beleive the voiceover for the opening has to be Wolfman Jack.

[GeneralOlde]

Back in my day, cartoons were grea-- oh, fuck it. It's not worth it.

[carnarouspuscifier]

why would any one want to go back to 1957 Milwaukee!.when you got a future chick named cupcake?.wtf where they on?!.

[mrbucket1337]

I just farted, and it came out like "Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyye"

[hobodivine]

Who says committees can't create ideas!

[restlessr84]

One episode Fonz was told they wound up in 57 but instead of 1957, it was 57 B.C.

[tsrtubeyou]

DOOBIE DOOBIE DOOBIE DOOBIE DOOBIE DOOBIE DOW

I wish i was in 1957 Miwakee!

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@ensrifraff Not an Epic fail if U like drinking BEER-Milwaukee makes a certain brand name beer-But the rest of the useless crap U can keep! *Except for that NOSTALGIC AL's DRIVE-IN DINER with the classic poodle Mini-skirted Quad-skateing waitresses* =)p

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@Guntahkela Gilligan's PLANET !! They went up into space in the cartoon-BooooYy,was these cartoons ever BAD!! EeYucck!!

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@feeblezak Thats like saying back when Cabbage Patch kids was popular"They are sooo UGLY,Theyre cute !! *Who comes up with QUACK PHYSCHO-THERAPY like that?*

[CleaveTheDragon]

Why does listening to the narrator hurt my own throat.

[102Help]

the wolfman?

[randomlaughingman]

so the diner was a time-machine

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@randomlaughingman no-Time machine landed in front of the diner,and only the TIME MACHINE left,The diner remained behind-If U watch all other time machine movies-Especially BACK TO THE FUTURE or another time machine was same size as that famous Delorean:The prop used in the Movie THE TIME MACHINE was big as a car. All the Time machines Ah saw in movies,and Doctor Who TV shows NEVER was as big as a whole Diner>=)p Sh-*t, U want 1 that big, intergrate that timetravel circuitry into a HOTEL

[yellowsunset]

this is epic, he made a fucking time machine work like it was just a jukebox

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@yellowsunset Hitting machinery to fix problem is old trick, not so difficult to spot in certain films >=)-Even DOCTOR WHO and his female companions has had given machines A SOLID WHAaaaaCK! every once in awhile

[Syntox]

Holy shit, this just gave me the brain cancer...

[Jamick98Geass]

Ok that dog is pretty funny.

[DanimalCollective]

The Fonz gets into more vaginas than Tampax.

[Pleyway]

what? why? how?

[EverybodyPoopz]

WOW...I think THIS is the video that inspired the strongbad Limozeen cartoon series...if I close my eyes, it sounds just like it

[digvoldon]

What the hell was wrong with the seventies, I mean Fonzie & time travel? And was that Dr John Narrating?

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@digvoldon Thought everybody knew who WOLFMAN JACK was...Wolfman voiced the opening of cartoon
