Swamp Thing - episode 1 - The Un-Men Unleashed, part 1

[anarchist884]

Oh man, nostalgia! Thanks uploader, not seen this show in years :D

[BabyDr4gon]

I used to think this was the coolest movie Ever. Or show, I rented it from video warehouse so it was just one movie.

[zaiger16]

Just finished reading one of the Alan Moore books. Why did I do that when there's this masterpiece.

[FuquaArts]

Obviously, the black kid is going to be dessert. Who wouldn't want a little bit of chocolate after their meal? ;D

[Fudgaboutit]

I never seen this show when I was a kid. I only remember seeing the toys at my friends' house. The Jimi Hendrix parody song made me laugh.

[wolfdragga]

@Fudgaboutit  The Troggs sang wild thing

[Ladybug005]

omgomgomg now this brings back childhood memories! dame! i feel so old!

[easydata]

1:51

What's up Doc?

[Kbo3o3]

the figures were pretty dope, the one with the extending arm that snaps back when u squeeze the legs

[ofp555]

Holy shit i remembu watchin this when 3 or 4 ooh man so much memories this was old school :)

[stephenmyers99]

That theme song is...well....'special'....(whe­w!)

[jstarang1]

This nostalgia is blowing my mind...

[TaylorMasonTV]

Tomohawk AKA Billy from Predator

[draven65]

Was that Kwame of the Planeteers

[MrThebakugannerd]

lock them in the attic..... FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrThebakugannerd]

so is this based off of alan moore's version or the original?

[sonwukong666]

@MrThebakugannerd the original

[MsPageMistress]

@MrThebakugannerd The original. Like the movies, it rejects Moore's comic.

[MrThebakugannerd]

WTF! they replace the soldiers that have machine guns and flamethrowers, with a retard and a vampire with a net?

[NacheMan]

I didn't know that Billy from Predator was personal friends with Swamp Thing

[JimPatriotPL]

fuck cartoon network shits, that was a CARTOON

[Grinchng]

why are the voices only in the left speaker

[TheTreWay83]

Had ALL the toys loved this show to death just wished they wouldve have a crossover with the ToXic Crusaders and fight Arcane and Killemoff!! Thanks Batmitey!!

[pikadusk]

swamp thing the real inventor of tentacle rape!

[burtonrules123]

OMG i STILL have my VHS tape from when i was like 5 of this episode! i could never get rid of it, it was so cool!

[vcccjvcjvvv]

im 23 to this day i still like swamp thing. Whenever i think of DC I think of swamp thing and even today i still think hes underrated.

[grn100cash]

I rember this, i even got the toy

I lost it a week or two later

[littleman411]

Man I'm 17. I didnt grow up with show but i bought all the videotapes when i was a kid

[MyBloodbrother]

Hey Arkaines Voice Is Also Sabertooths from The X-Men

[lazykidreviews]

Ha! Love the intro!

[krisx15]

epic comics....



[Beerbottles123]

wait a min, I thought Anton is her uncle.

[Beerbottles123]

And suddenly John Constantine pop up behind the shadows, scares the shit outta everyone: "Evenin 'Squire."

[PunkymickBlah]

@Beerbottles123 i wish

[BigHappyBoys]

i see a bad Japan hentai porn here...

[incrediblehulkmovies]

What is it about watching canceled cartoon show you haven't seen since you were seven that makes you feel so young?

[Kenro200x]

Is Tomahawk based off Sonny from Predator?

[pikadusk]

@Kenro200x Tomahawk is a very old DC Comics character...

[dusk78]

Marvel's Man-Thing at 7:41

[Thescreensaverr]

I had all these action figures

[JFM515905]

DUUUUDE the voice of Arcaine is the same voice of sabertooth from the Xmen animated series!

[doctorHOUSE]

This not like the alan moore comic at all but the intro song is cool

[Markel1970A]

The two kids were from the movies and in the movies they were secondary characters. Swamp Thing was so awesome in this toon.

[VegasSGrimReaper]

The intro song is whack!

[seancron]

Did anyone else get a raging boner from from the stereo-typical idians accent. Ummm dreamy! Also that veiny green creature made my dick move as well. Swamp thing you make my penis throb!

[losepocket]

Beat'em down Swamp Thing!

[cha5]

Nice of them to give Len Wein and Berni Wrightson a creators credit here,

Too bad this show was such a cheeseball toy commercial that it's something of a badge of shame for both gentlemen here.

[jorgepetrucci]

i only had this episode on vhs when i was a kid, and i watched it over and over, loved it

[LilMo2407]

@jorgepetrucci i had the same thing....do you remember the commercials in the tape? what were they for?

[TrailerTrashing]

This show is funny. It's clear that every character and vehicle is a toy. I'm surprised Tomahawk didn't go, "The Bog Rover? It was built by a friend of mine. And you can have one for your own for $14.99!"

[gyrrakavian]

weren't they already mutants?

[DreamloreDegenerate2]

Hello childhood..

[nocturned85]

So... when making Unmen with the Transjuicer... you're making men into women?

[fuzzcentralage]

wooow swamp thing song that shit is hilarious! 'swamp thing, you are amazing'

[Gmoreno89]

3:26.... Take That Swamp Bitch

[AlphaPiscis]

Nothing is more comfortable or practical for wearing around the lab than an inordinately fancy Dracula costume... 

[holseyd]

wow, even as a kid this would have been pretty unwatchable. this makes the Wes craven film look good.

[mon41]

THE FUNNY THING I TOO HAVE A SNAKE HEAD THAT SHOOTS MISSLES

[jaymusseato]

>THE TROGGS !!!

[deadman00]

Ummm Arcane how do three guys equil an 'army??

[Coffeextreme]

Lock them in the attic...FOREVER!

What an evil diabolical plan!

[clintbronson5]

Love the MAN-THING look at 7:40-7:43 always loved both characters....MAN-THING & SWAMP THING forevah!

[robotsforever]

Swamp thing gets all the sluts.

[DeusExAngelo]

Somewhere, Allan Moore is either crying and/or laughing.

[poppijoni]

@DeusExAngelo So is Jimi Hendrix... And if Moore thinks V for Vendetta is a disapointment...

[sneezle92]

@DeusExAngelo Alan Moore didn't create Swamp Thing

[DeusExAngelo]

@sneezle92 Oh...My mistake.

I guess I thought he did because he did do an excellent run with Swamp Thing.

[sneezle92]

@DeusExAngelo It's cool, he may have not created him but he fleshed out the story.

[sonwukong666]

@DeusExAngelo seeing as how Swamp Thing wasn't created by him and he left DC, divorcing himself from something he did create, I highly doubt it.

[o2waster8284]

Best Theme Song Ever 

[antiirony]

every line of dialogue, every scene of this episode, is so nostalgically familiar to my brain that I almost can't take it. creeping me out.....

[DarkShines86]

pause @ 7:14 and see what you notice...

[CaptainKirkC]

@DarkShines86 i tried really hard, what did you notice?

[DarkShines86]

@CaptainKirkC the kid's hand is doing the "devil horn/rock on" symbol with his left hand....most people think it just means ROCK AND ROLL! but it is originally an old occult symbol basically representing satan. just thought it was interesting that it was in a kids show...also it's more like 7:15 ha

[MrChayeah]

@DarkShines86 You seem extremely stupid.

[CaptainKirkC]

@DarkShines86 I see what you mean, but i think that's just they way they animated it lol.

[commentmutant]

Its was supposed to be a Saturday morning cartoon, what did you comic book nerds expect?

[hellb]

The comics by Alan Moore are soooooooo much more mature

[Leatherbubba]

That theme song is awesome as shit. Cheesiest thing ever.

[Cluey3]

Does Arcane rape Abby in this? Like in the comic?

[Antichrist2000]

@Cluey3 When did he rape her? I remember him Tearing her soul out and what not but never raping her?

[Dragnet5]

@Cluey3 No a

[LightAmongstDarkness]

-face palm-

[MaxRebo120]

Imagine if this were part of the DCAU.....God I would be pissed.

[commentmutant]

@MaxRebo120 dcau?

[Diakron79]

@MaxRebo120 DCAU is for Bat-Kooks, and Batman is your God.

[mastermonarch]

Swamp thing was a cool cartoon too bad it only lasted five episosdes someone needs to revive the swamp thing idea comics cartoons toys the works.

[Cluey3]

@mastermonarch

Swamp Thing is alread an acclaimed Comic Book series by Alan Moore. Running in the mid 80's, it pretty much created the Vertigo imprint and proved to an audience that mainstream comics could be poignant, poetic and dark.

And Alan Moore didn't even created the character!

This is loud, brash, cheesy. But at least it's a little fun.

[pygmygrizzly]

I was at work, talking about old kid shows... I'm a bit to old I guess, no one remembered Swamp Thing.... sooo it would be a great idea for a movie.

[mossberg451]

you gotta admit the artwork is good though

[mossberg451]

that intro sucked you practically saw everything

[symonwill]

This gives me so much nostalgia! I LOVED this show when I was a kid. Thanks so much!

[OneRadRudeboy]

this totally reinforces the reasons why a Watchmen saturday morning show was never made.

[TheGeekgirl87]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is so funny

[zerglingseb]

What the fuck?

[EcktoSNR]

I had this episode on video, I watched it about twice a day.

[KikumaruKaidoh]

Jesus...that...aint the Voice of Optimus Prime... is it?!....

[madtonesbr]

@KikumaruKaidoh That's what I was thinking - Optimus!

[Kooshmeister3]

"I'll uproot that green freak!" The blue pot calls the kettle green. What are you, exterminator boy, if not a BLUE freak? Seriously, were these losers always this ugly? At least Swamp Thing and Arcane once looked normal.

[DracoBlade]

I can't stop laughing...no wonder they never made more than five episodes. The half-assed theme song...the poor voice acting...the childish plots...the shameless merchandising plugs...I can't stop laughing XD

[CineRecon]

Can't believe they only made 5, it seemed like more when I was a kid

[hoboboxerjoe]

@CineRecon, I know! I remember watching a lot more than this! That's selective memory for you.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

@CineRecon My thoughts exactly.

[scottiboi05]

@CineRecon

same here i even remember having basically all the figures and they only made 5?

[sxymsg]

omg maaad old i use to love these cartoons

[therudeboy77]

That theme song and music throughout the show is retarded. They were obviously trying way too hard to make the cartoon kid-friendly. It's dumbed down.

[NinnikNishukan2]

The theme song makes me crap myself. XD It's like they're not even trying.

[Theninjasarecoming]

@NinnikNishukan2 They are trying... to sing Wild Thing. With the exact same rhythm. And notes. And only minor word changes.

Swamp Thing deserves better than this.

[TiniNormi]

Weedkiller looks like a non-cannibalistic CHUD.

[HorstiiDasGlied]

Oh my fuckin god...

listen to the fuckin theme... jesus xD

[932sd]

Swamp Thing as a superhero never really worked.

[WildRoseTransformer]

Hey no problem. I think that it's on DVD now, you could probably find it on Ebay.

[WildRoseTransformer]

I think......I like this cartoon.

[WildRoseTransformer]

@DirtyRobot3 Which one? The first one, or the Return of Swamp Thing? I like the second one best.

[nosmint31]

this show had the coolest set of action figures ever.

[darthninja]

lock them in the attic...Forever!

[schumacherenator]

SCRAMBULLLLL!!!

[RMJ1984]

Tobad it never got a real chance, it was one of the cooler and different heroes.

[topbluffa1]

when i was little i got some green shit out of the pond poored hair lotions and stuff on it and hoped it would turn into swamp thing. lol.

[IGOTDOWNS]

@topbluffa1

Well atleast you tried

[topbluffa1]

lol.

[GilbertSmith]

@topbluffa1 Hahahaha! Yeah I think we all remember doing shit like that. Looking in drainages for Ninja Turtles, catching frogs and hoping they'd grow into Battletoads. What was with the late eighties/early nineties and disgusting, green, shit covered superheroes?

[ricochet188]

@topbluffa1 Did it work???????!@?!?!?!?!

[topbluffa1]

@ricochet188

no :( but that didnt stop me wasting all my mums hair and bath lotions.

:)

[psycho6145]

Swamp Thing is the shit

[vanilah88]

so are you

[ubicuoubicuo]

Did you know Swamp Thing actually originated from your Mothers vagina ?

[skunkx101]

LOL. Wow I grew up on this shit and I barely remember it. Now it looks like one long commercial for the action figures. Hahaha.

[bigtoine45]

bless you for this post. This is a time machine.

[metal220]

i love the theme

[MaverickXIII]

i still have this on vhs lol

[mcppants]

Tomahawk looks and sounds just like Billy from Predator.

[ZoltonK]

Why are Rambo, Wheeler and Kwami from Captain Planet here?

Also that is one shitty intro song.

[psycho6145]

good call that does look just like them

[youdude1121]

3 un men make an army?

[jonboy1822]

Damn swamp thing has been working out!

[RIPBlackFrankWhite]

i bet he did it in 4 weeks

[dantedoomsday]

3:26  best part of the episode, lol

[bclaytz]

i want to be an un-man :(

[ZOMGZACHYY]

teehee i remem the good all days in pre school watchn this shit while playing with star wars toys

[asnierkishcowboy]

are you all nuts thinking that swamp things sucks??

just read the comic books.

theyre so cool

[cha5]

I'm guessing they never did an adaptation of Alan Moore's 'The Anatomy Lession' or had John Constantine in this cartoon.

[JRAMBOXL]

nope. they stayed the hell away from any Alan Moore stories

[cha5]

Too bad, I guess the Swapy/Abby lovemaking bit might have been intense for a kiddie cartoon trying to peddle their Swampthing toys, The Moore stories were the best apart from Wein and Wrightson's work but you really couldn't get something to equal them in a conventional cartoon anyways, I notice they used (stole) some elements of Steve Bissette's artwork just on the surface, of course they did the same thing in that eyesore film 'Return Of The Swampthing'

[JRAMBOXL]

At least the live action show was darker

[firekind1980]

thats awful

[beefheart100]

i used to love this tape when i was a kid...

what the hell was i thinking?

[olinselot]

The music is just terrible, but that being said - the whole thing is just stupid. The type of character that just isn't appealing to anyone. Nobody imagines themselves wanting to be the swamp thing.

[arweiss21]

i was swamp thing for halloween in kindergarten

[olinselot]

Ha ha, that's awesome. Are you from Arkansas?

[SuperRob45]

Wow... DC must have been pissed when this came out...

[thegrungekid6]

how come there is no voice!? i only hear the background sound but i don't hear them talking wtf!?

[hotgirlshagger]

swamp thing is totally rad, i laughed so much when he took the steering wheel off

[jsdman1234]

ROFL!!

IT HAD A CARTOON!!!!

LOL!!!

Like everything after the 70's that was a movie ended up a cartoon,

LOL

god movie

bad cartoon

<---'s Opinion,

[luap5675]

I love the intro song haha

[chiquitabanana420]

i wrote this episode

[rorschach98]

i got a swamp thing toy from a garage sale from this and a weed killer toy i still have them

[thesexydaves]

id have to disagree, i think the novel itself is good, fair enuf it doesnt compare to watchmen and t.l.o.e.g but i think its a well written novel. didnt know the cartoon existed tho and i think the song is the poorest cheesiest rip off

[samjac05]

I used to have this episode on tape when I was little. I bought a swamp thing action figure and I think it came with the tape. Watched this episode at least 100 times

[Digginjim]

this is truly awful. When you consider the early Wein and later Moore stories how the heck did this abomination ever happen

[ajscrewu]

only good thing about this is the swamp thing music

[Woshio]

I have to disagree as i thought it gets really annoying real fast! (meaning the theme song, come, wheres there imagination)

[Serpentara12]

When was this show made?

[Death2Bigots]

I remember watching this in the 90's. Seems hella cheesy now, especially with that awful reworking of "Wild Thing." Captain Planet was better anyway, as far as eco-preachy super heroes go.

[hugeloads]

Mother fuckin swamp thing yeeeeeeeaah

[Geekwraith]

I wish the studio who animated the Maxx had had a whack at Moore's swamp thing, they have a similar feel to me and I'd've loved to see if that'd turned out ok.

[Fesposito70]

Too bad they couldn't have done this with the same quality of JL and JLU that would have been something special.

[worldends08]

Swamp Thing should be president-who else knows more about Greenhouse emissions than a plant-man?

[BeauIXI]

What the fuck?

[firekind1980]

great comics. not sure why they always ruin it in every other medium

[Leehofooks]

Haha. This is so terrible it's funny.

If you're really interested in Swamp Thing, read the comics by Alan Moore.
