The Real Ghostbusters PROMO

[themusclecar1970]

excellent 

[10CrazyBen]

LUV IT LUV IT LUV IT LOL

[vadont]

bustin make me feel good =D

[Launchpad05]

That was neat. Almost like an extended prototype of the show's intro. Here, Slimer's more like the little trouble maker rather than the show's comic relief. and the uniforms are all the same tan color like in the movies. Peter's designs look slightly different, though.

[BuellerBueller95]

you know whats ironic, this series came out before gb 2, and in this janine has red hair and then they uised it in gb 2

[bigshiz]

@BuellerBueller95 i just noticed that, nice observation,

[heeriyujaxhunin]

now thats awesome

[CybertronNews22]

Was there ever a reeason for Egon being blonde? So that all four guys didn't have dark hair?

[spookuniversity]

@CybertronNews22 - DIC was not allowed to use any of the actor's likenesses for the show.. so everyone looks different

[Keybern]

@spookuniversity I don't think there was any legal issue involved. It had more to do with making the different characters look differently. Makes it easier for the kids to keep them apart. The same reason why the uniforms had all different colors.

[wulfiebear]

I have the first 3 volumes of the show, just waiting for Volumes 4 and 5 to come out individually and I will be set

[zackster89]

one of the best cartoons of all time

[Wubbzyfan]

Awwwww.......sweet!!!! I loved that.

[YukiOshiDwik]

It's fantastic!

[SpeedingHedgehog]

Some of them look really different than they do in the movie, and others, not so much.

[cobaltfaust]

i thought i had seen all the ghostbuster things. i have never seen this.

[sumakaran]

The REAL GHOSTBUSTERS THEME performed by JOHN SMITH!

[optionen100]

1:41 haha

[MrDanbish]

Simply outstanding! I've been a huge Ghostbusters fan since I was 6 and I've never seen this before and I'm 30 now! Lost for words, brilliant, just brilliant!

[dxtripleh1014]

This song was sang by a performer named "John Smith". It's probably not his real name. Nothing is known about him and this is the only full version released.

[jordiekjo]

I think I"m the only one that doesn't hear a difference between the theme show and the real song...

And I wonder what prompted the re-design of Peter...I don't mind it, I just wonder why it happened...

[kanevivi]

wow you can tell the diffrence in ray, egon, and peter in this to the show but i do like this alot. thank you for shareing this awsome thing.

[khairi4]

The film's theme song, "Ghostbusters", written and performed by Ray Parker, Jr., sparked the catchphrases "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!" and "I ain't 'fraid of no ghost(s)". The song was a huge hit, staying #1 for three weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and #1 for two weeks on the Black Singles chart. The song earned Parker an Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Song". (from wikipedia)

[Dmasterman]

Anyone knows who sings the RGB theme song?

[loughlin14]

John Smith

[Dedboy]

Ray Parker Jr, is the artist in question.

[Bobbymobil]

singer's name is John Smith. This name is also appeared ending credits as well.

[SunnyProductions]

@Dmasterman

Ray Parker Jr.

[sumakaran]

@SunnyProductions Ghostbusters sings Ray Parker, true. But the REAL ghostbusters theme sings John Smith!

[cybertronization]

@SunnyProductions It's really John Smith singing the *RGB* theme.

[sumakaran]

@Dmasterman This is John Smith!

[mechredd]

I like this version of the theme too. I would really like to hear the full version of the Extreme Ghostbusters theme.

This is the first time that I have seen this promo, and it was pretty good. I like being able to see how the early characters looked before their final edit for the show.

[tigerqueen007]

Bustin' makes me feel good!!!!

[TheAngelmisa]

I love this show.

[Galactusgirl]

The Real Ghostbusters is a classic.

[darthdragoon59]

just wow

[DespairsAi]

the only thing that bothered me even as a child.....why does Egon have blonde hair!?

[pytko3]

Because his character is descended from Scandinavians.

[MrCodyMayne]

I agree with you@SCORCH6200000

[RunsWithWeasels]

Whoa, Slimer was a bit of a snot before he became more kid friendly.

And that bit with Stay Puft is so freaking cute. I miss this show.

[Gegray]

Busting make me feel good!!!!!

[zuuso202]

2:11 Poor Stay Puft !!!! 8D

[SGTHartsock2]

great quality video. love it

[ChexGuy331]

I just realized that the toy PKE meter is based on the way it appeared in this promo.

[kind2311]

good eye, so were the action figure's packs and to some extent, the kid-sized pack too.

[Dragonss11]

i love rays little stay puft doll, its so cute

[SCORCH6200000]

Ahhh yes . this is so much better than that crappy extreme ghostbusters cartoon

[bulson08]

personally I was born in the nineties and I love everything ghostbusters even the extreme ghostbusters

[vigo894]

@bulson08= 2 hit movies, 2 tv shows, video games, toys, and much more. Truly, one of the biggest successes of the Eighties. I saw the first movie at a movie theatre inside a bowling alley. The popcorn was too buttery, though the movie was cool. One of the best part is at the end when Slimer flies right at the screen, trying to break the 4th Wall.

[homiex04]

i loved how in da cartoon the cad e lac had the ghostbuster insignia as the hood ornament

[LevantineFox]

Is there any chance I can find the whole entire season on DVD? :3 Too bad there aren't any REAL GhostBusters in real life. That would be awesome. I would soooo join... :3

[spookuniversity]

DVD Box Set, seasons 1 through 5 go on sale September 29th

[LevantineFox]

Thanks! I'll be looking for it around Best Buy.

[SquarePantsMan1]

@LevantineFox SAME FEELING

[mpg272727]

2:14

is that the skeleton taxi driver?

[TheFlyattractor]

Been seriously considering buying it.

But I wanna know what exactly is on the Bonus DVD?

ANy body willing to spoil the surprise?

[bombarde1701]

This was on the DVD boset from TimeLife. Im sooo glad I got it! Finally the whole series on DVD!!

[tigerqueen007]

Lucky you!!!!!!!!!!!

[Galactusgirl]

Go Ghostbusters!

[PipeBombTom]

Did anyone notice that Egon's PKE meter makes the same sound as the classic Star Trek communicator at about 1:00?

[keelan1983]

It brings back merories of saturday ghost lives on

[mf57]

1.31 slimer looks so damn scary!

[hitch20000]

or try watching this with billy idols dancing with myself classic

[rbl205]

Try watching this video to Linkin Park's New Divide. It's fits pretty well acually.

[Migfightercp]

good point you are right!

[gorillaz6399]

that truck driving it's self reminded me of maximum overdrive

[mardraven]

holy crap why is ray on the ecto one and when could you ride on the bridge like that?!?!

[EvilDeadFan1995]

Well why do the ghosts look like monsters and not ghosts, I like how they fought vampires in that one episode though. :D

[DevilMaster]

The ghosts look like monsters because if they looked like the typical depiction of ghosts (whitish translucent floating people) they'd be too similar to one another. Drawing them as monsters allows a much wider variety of looks.

[EvilDeadFan1995]

I see what you're getting at, but that is also why only the movies are cannon!

[Byrnzi360]

The cartoons have never been "denied" as being part of the canon. In fact both the movies and the cartoons (and now the new video game, also written by Aykroyd and Ramis) borrow from one another...

I think that Aykroyd and Ramis were smart enough not to alienate the fans of the cartoon, because the cartoon was something that was driving the series heavily for many years... and also helped create a demand for the second movie and the new game they just released.

[EvilDeadFan1995]

Yeah it was smart

[mohawker47]

When did Ray decide to start riding on top of cars?

[VChild360]

Ray is Hardcore!

[Byrnzi360]

About the time he stopped being able to fit in Ecto-1. The guy put on like 100 pounds in the cartoon.

[artgal80]

Wow, the animation there was amazing! So fluid!

[somacruzfirm]

10/5

[hitch20000]

I luv this version best part was the ecto 1 smashin through the window talk about service n yes venkmen looks well betta in this n yes i prefer them in the same colour egon looks gay in the series pink n light blue c'mon

[cole003f]

i would've liked to of heard this version of the ghostbusters theme in the game

[EvilDeadFan1995]

maybe as a bonus

[Ins0mnia365]

Anyone has an MP3 version of this Ghostbusters Theme.. it's slightly different then the movie theme.

[SladeQigong]

Thanks for posting this!

[brumster01]

omg at the childhood memories flooding back lol.

I can remember coming home from primary school,switching on the TV ready for my fav cartoon! ha ha epic ,also got the game and i love every minute of it,im quite happy just to hear bill Murrays sarcasm any day.

[Johnlindsey289]

Have you seen any episodes of this show on Youtube? it holds up well.

[tigerqueen007]

Ladies and Gentlemen!!! I now have the Ghostbusters game!!! It is so cool!!! Try it out!!!

[slave2moonlight]

I bout it Tuesday morning and finished it this morning (on the easiest setting)! It's awesome for Ghostbusters fanatics like myself, though less so for hardcore gamers as I understand it. It's for a great "in the movie" experience more than anything, though with a new/original story. Catching ghosts is great fun and real does feel realistic and the way it looks in the movies!

[Johnlindsey289]

You bought the game? kick-ass! got that game for my birthday and you should review real GB on Amazon.

[slave2moonlight]

Yeah, I bought it and it was lots of fun! I haven't watched all of the episodes in the DVD set yet, but I did review the game after I finished it. The review I don't think has come up yet though.

[Johnlindsey289]

Have you seen Angry Video Game Nerd's reviews of the old school GB games? they are here on youtube for your viewing pleasure.

[slave2moonlight]

I saw those, ha. Amazing how different they are compared to the new game, though I guess some gamers might have similar complaints. A lot have complained about the new game, but I like it a lot.

[MedievalWerewolf]

Waaaaaaaait a minute. . .

How in the hell did they manage to fit all those ghosts into one trap, let alone STAY PUFT?! Does the trap have hammerspace or something?

[markdpane]

Good thing they changed Slimer to a good guy before the show aired.

[MedievalWerewolf]

This video = my childhood

[LevantineFox]

Slimers driving!!! LOL

[psychedashell]

Wow this is so cool!!! Bring back the ghostbusters!!!

[Superstarseven]

Buy the game on the 16th.

[tigerqueen007]

I have the game on reserved!! I can't wait to play it!!!

[LPHYBRID]

me too! :D

[Arbiter2201]

Awesome Promo!

[NepperCat]

I havent seen this since it was aired as intersitial material on HBO back in the 80s.

[memphiselle]

THIS PROMO OWNS!!!

[xpander2k]

Darn right it does. The should have kept Slimer looking the way he did in this promo though.

[memphiselle]

Nah. I think Slimers cuter as a little sidekick! :D

[Dalxanda]

Nope. Slimer is so much cooler this way. He was LAME as a goofy cartoon sidekick, and I am so glad that they didn't make him a goofy sidekick in the game.

[loyalROCKfan]

I don't know why you have 3 thumbs down for this cus you make a good point

[NarutoXfashioncore]

Man.this version rocks.glad to hear finaly the entire song

[KingCharltonHeston]

Funny how this earlier character design of Venkman had more of a Bill Murray like quality to him than the one we see in the finished series, eh?

[LadyAkumaProductions]

Oh, I'm SO glad I saw this....^^ Thanks for Uploading!

[DionysusJPower]

I really wish I had seen this promo as a kid. I was such a huge fan and it would have blown my mind to hear this version of the song in its entirety!

[RobloxLegomania]

The animation in this and how their suits are actually the same COLOR instead of being a rainbow of color like in the real series make this really appeal to me :D

[WhiteCourtain]

^^ YAY!

[Bobbymobil]

Awesome

[378071]

Smashing!!!!!!

[MartyFA]

What the hell did Ray think he was doing, riding on the roof? It was asking for trouble, surely?

[IzzyJG99]

He's Ray Stantz. He fears nothing.

[LadyAkumaProductions]

Ray laughs at the term 'fear'! He prefers the wind in his face when catching his ghosts! XD

[DevilMaster]

He tried and tried to enter the car, then it dawned on him that he was just too fat for that. :-D

[Raad187KO]

no doubt, this promo is one of the best iv seen for any show, period!

[Raad187KO]

wow!, watching real ghostbusters again with a joint is a whole new appreciation! sick video! cant wait for the game too!

[kind2311]

damn i thought i was the only bud smoker who liked RGB!

Herb+Ghostbusters= Supernatural HEaven

[Raad187KO]

yes yes!!!!!

[spookuniversity]

I really doubt it, but it would be awesome if the game had some kind of opener like this!

[tigerqueen007]

I love your videos, especially when you guys were investigating ghosts in your college. Are you going to make more?

[spookuniversity]

If I can find an effect team that won't quit on me....

[tigerqueen007]

I hope you will. I wish you trillions of luck.

[CNCGB]

Oh, is that why it never came out? I mean, I've looked and never found the Spook U movie. Man... You could try putting up a want add on GBfans. I'd volounteer, but not own the software and other complications arise.

[Ridley9548]

I love how Stay Puft's hat falls to the ground, just like in one of the deleted scenes from the first movie.

[Marbles471]

I wish the actual series had used this dramatic color palette in some of the episodes!

[Derman666]

pure awesomeness!!!!!

[Joe9185]

It's so weird seeing the cartoon Slimer as a bad guy.

[ghostbuster56]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rockord79]

Peter looks slightly different as does Egon's hair. More in line with what the actions figures looked like I noticed. Good animation.

[NarutoXfashioncore]

WOW Slimer looks badass

[HOTPOCKETSCR]

things i lov bout this promo

1.all the ghostbusters have the same color jump suit

2.slimer looks cooler

3. stay puft looks cooler

[DanteAlgehrie]

WOW O.O ! A Full version of the Trick Song ! Baby YEAH !

[tigerqueen007]

I know! Isn't it great?!

[DevilMaster]

I just noticed that they based the toy PKE meter (the one that came with the proton pack) with the one Egon had in this promo!

[MetaruRyuu]

aaarg, i want rgbs dvds so bad!! this pilot is freakin' awesome. and ha, Slimer was evil. and lolz when he grabbed the hotdog.

[piero1985]

WOW!!!!!!

[sarahcbear]

Thanks for sharing this I really wanted to see it when I heard about it. :)

[tigerqueen007]

I have always loved those guys! And do know hard it is to find the full version of the cartoon's theme song? I have heard the Ray Parker Jr's version too much but I love this version better.

[77J]

I wonder which of the Ghostbusters nabbed Slimer. Who do you all think nabbed Slimer in this promo pilot?

[spookuniversity]

My money would be Venkman

[tigerqueen007]

Technically, Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, and Egon Spengler nabbed Slimer in the first movie before they met Winston Zedmore.

[dsl135]

Everyone knows that... then Slimer got loose at the end, and is present in this cartoon... hence, "Who nabbed Slimer in the PROMO PILOT?"

[tigerqueen007]

Good question.

[kind2311]

Had to be Venkman, he deserved his revenge.

[kind2311]

Venkman ; )

[Gum2Gum]

You know what a part of me wishes this was the remaining version of the cartoon. thanks for posting. I'm adding It to my favorites.

[callmeshowtime]

thats some awesome quality

[Isinia79]

Simply awesome! Thanks for uploading to give us all Ghostheads a chance to see. ^.^

[EctoMan2007]

Hilarious!

[cyclopstb]

Thank you and Happy New Year.
