GI Joe
 
Hey there, peoples.
I found a little sumpin-sumpin ...
Who remembers the old GI Joe cartoon from, like, the 80's? Well, chances are good that you won't remember it if you don't live in the U.S. And even then, only people who are twenty or older saw it when it was new.
But the point here is that at the end of each episode, there was a public service announcement. In it, there was a message that they tried to get across, like "Don't pet strange dogs," or "Don't go near loose electrical wires."
Anyhow, I'm getting to the point. Some guy took these cartoons and revamped them, and rewrote the scripts. They are directly on the border between excrutiatingly stupid and completely hilarious. You'll watch it and think either "Holy crap! This is some funny stuff!" or "Jeez, why did I waste my time watching this?"
Or maybe, "Well, that was okay. Nothing spectacular, but meh."
Take a looksee. There are some specifics that I highly recommend, but I cannot remember the number of these PSAs.

Enjoy!

They still show the old GI Joes on Cartoon Network at like 3 am on weekends, but they cut out the announcements.

Seen most all of them before. Good stuff.

PSA 02, 05, and 10 are pretty good, but 06 and 08 are hilarious. I practically cried with laughter through 06. And 08... well, you gotta love abrupt endings!

They get pretty lame after that, though.

Number 14 and 24 are pretty good.

True. The really good ones are also on display right here
From top to bottom, they are: "Motorcy-cle," "Gay-I Joe," "Burping Contest," "I'm a Computer," "Reggae Joe" (which isn't all that good, actually), "Carnival," "Don't Break the Ice," "Nosebleed," "Porkchop Samwiches," and "Body Massage."

These are, in my opinion, the good ones.
