This is the complete run of the original cartoon commercial animations used for the G.I.Joe Marvel comic run. I haven't found these on youtube yet and I have always wanted to give back for all that I have taken. Here it is! Someone else recorded the video so I couldn't do anything there. A few episodes are incomplete but I included what was available. I know many people have been looking for these.

It is because of the initial cartoon commercials for the comics which created the demand for the daily series which was good but not as good as it could had been if it was produced along the same principles as these 30 second commercials. I fell in love with G.I.Joe with the help of these commercials. They were brilliant and still are after 25 years!

After waiting 25 years, I wish the new live action movie would live up to the exciting standards set by this groundbreaking series! Instead, the new G.I.Joe "Rise of Cobra" seems to be rewriting things as they go along. So much for progress. What I have on youtube is what I feel is G.I.Joe. I hope everyone will agree!

YO JOE!!!!

  • Thank you for uploading this! You surely forgot some, though, because I was looking for the first one I remember - Storm Shadow's rescue of Cobra Commander.

  • Hi, at the time of making the compilation I did not have that one. I missed that one too!

    Don't worry thought because I later found that one (issue #24) and issue #28. I posted them separately so please just check out my other videos and you will see them. Enjoy!

  • maybe kids would still read comics if they ran commercials like this every month. I remember seeing these then going to pick up the latest issue at the mall. my stupid mom wouldn't let me subscribe.

  • Actually, if it were not for the commercials, I would never even thought of reading a comic. After picking them up I couldn't ever put them down! Yes, I agree with you 100%. Try convincing the miser executives at Marvel and elsewhere. I think Disney actually owns Marvel now.

  • after seeing these great old school joe commercials ive come to one Epic conclusion.

    the New Gi Joe movie is going to suck MAJOR ASS.

    why do all these films now, X-Men, Wolverine and Gi Joe have to go the super realistic route instead of sticking to the shit that worked like Star Trek , the Dark Knight and Spiderman did so well.

    the new joe trailer looks like crap compaired to these old commercials.

    wheres Destro and Zartan?

    WHERES THE COBRA LOGO?

    Cobra commander with no mask? WTF?

  • I am in total agreement with you. I have been trying to contact the new SHOUT! FACTORY DVD producer of the new G.I.Joe compilation. I want them to get good copies of these awesome commercials and put them on the new DVDs as bonus materials.

    These commercials actually top the actual daily show from back in the day.

    Whether it is the comic or regular animations, it is true. The new movie has a high bar to surpass and I will be the first to say it sucks because I have loved this since 1983.

  • Notice that every one of these commercials advertised an issue that introduced a new toy. They were selling both comics and tells simultaneously here!

  • Probably one of the greatest, all around comic book series ever written.

  • This was really cool, I finished the first issue and am on issue 2. The comics are really good.

  • Why on earth does Destro sound like Popeye!?!

  • @IHS7 Thanks for the info! I love these animated commercials along with Transformers, Air Raiders, Starriors & Visionaries. All produced by Marvel and made by Hasbro..aside from Starriors which was owned by TOMY! Ah the great times of old!

  • @CaptainBuckRogers Marvel doesn't own the rights to the Hasbro properties they produced (comics and the tv series). Hasbro owns 100% of the comic rights and re-releases them from time to time under who ever is publishing GI JOE comics at the moment. If they released a DVD and played these commercials as a bonus features with the "Marvel" ending, it might confuse new customers.

  • The Comics > The TV Series

  • How come Hawk didn't make it to the TV series until the 3rd (or 4th) Season?

  • Its even better in rerun, haha. Thats the first time i have seen Zanzibar, Outback, Backstop, Fastdraw, Raptor, Spearhead, Hit n Run and other 1987-88 characters in cartoon form.

  • These are great, i never got to see these as a kid, cause i live in the UK. Great combo of Marvel comic stories and Sunbow voices. Excellent stuff, thanks for uploading.

  • GREAT STUFF! These are the very same ads that got me hooked on the comics and especially the toys when I was a kid.

    Tanks for the memories!
