“Porkchop sandwiches” was a thing I said a lot of in 2004.

Nice catch blanco nino, but too bad your ass got sacked.

How am I supposed to STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADIN' now that it's been remastered in HD glory?

Rewatching these made my night.

Run time is 16:43, approximately 50% of which is that one video where the two guys have the contest to see who can make that creaking sound with their voices the longest.

Seen similar (later!) stuff like this but none of these rang a bell. Could not stop laughing!

I feel like this shares the same spiritual plane as Ben Bernanke.

Does anyone else remember "blanco niño" being a ESPN Sportscenter catchphrase before its use in this PSA? Or is this my version of the Berenstain Bears timeline swap?

Whatever it meant before (besides the obvious literal translation from ethpanyole) was completely and utterly washed away by the force of this meme... sacked, if you will.

It struck me that these would make great creepy live action shorts. Someone in like 2003 should get on that.

I clicked on the above link from STFUDonnie and in the list of recommendations was Laibach's Across the Universe. (SLYT) It was a fitting coda to the GI Joe video. Chance is a great thing. By the way, I agree with the National Fenslerfilm Council.

If I had a dollar for every time I have yelled "get that kid off my ice you little wanker!", I would have... well, it's disproportionate to the times I've had to get kids off my ice, let's just say that.

"Do you know my dad?" Classic.

Great stuff. Thanks!

What in the hell is going on at 3:13? I'm assuming he is teleporting the kids away somehow, but how does that fit into a regular PSA?

You must turn on the closed captions for some really odd interpretations. The one in Japanese is quite fun!

I still think about these all the time. Like, at least once a month.

I don't how this is possible but I was just thinking about these yesterday!

I wasn't just thinking of these yesterday, I was trying to cast the youtube playlist for my son to watch, and it kept crashing the app on the tv. These are just in time.

"Look at all your different colored hats!"

I think we've found the inspiration behind Shore Leave.

These are still the fucking best. "Too bad your ass got ssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhcked" I'm dying over here

HEY KID! I'm a computer! Stop all the downloading!

Oh wow. About once a year, I go through a week or two with Fun Time Deh Yah stuck in my head all day, singing it in the shower, humming it between teaching classes...

Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it submerges down in my psyche again, to lie dormant for another year.

Seeing it crop up again on the Blue...it's like I really am part of the hive mind!

Jamaica man, fus me naily ded wit laugh...

Those drapes were already dangerously close to the gas stove, so I'm not sure the kids are to blame.

My wife and I used to watch and quote these liberally when we were just starting to fall in love. So much so that when one of us walks into the kitchen and the other is just farting around trying to figure out what to do, you can count on hearing a "You're not cookin'".

My wifi name is "Pork Chop Sandwiches".

I occasionally work "stop all the downloading" into conversation and error messages in my job as a software engineer. Every year fewer and fewer people get it. It's a little weird to find myself dated by memes.

And when talking with friends from sophomore year of college, "ooohhhhmmmmm... body massage" inevitably finds its way into the conversation.

How was this "remastered"? They couldn't have gone back and found copies of the original GI Joe cartoons and re-edited them, right?

My fave has always been: daaaaaaaamnnnn these beats are so fresh. SNAAAP

I don't know how they did it, but the kid falling on the ice is a piece of animated slapstick worthy of Chuck Jones.

On second thought, it was probably just the profanity.

Juxtaposition of "holy cow" and "fuck" helps too

(In college, whenever Thunderbird notified me of a new message, it just announced "BODY MASSAGE." This conveniently filtered the number of people who ever came into the room more than once)

Wow, I have been thinking of these approximately monthly for the last decade and a half, but there were some I hadn't seen! I used to have the ones I knew existed on my hard drive as .wmv files but that computer was stolen from my house in a robbery in 2007 so.

In addition to being funny as hell, it's a great reminder that 80s animation **sucked**. 3 frames a second, whether they were needed or not!

These are the best mindworms the internet has ever produced. Still my favourite thing all these many years later.

Here's a playlist of the original PSAs, in case you were curious how much editing was done to them.

As a bonus, now I know how to stop a nosebleed. And knowing is half the battle (I had no idea that that phrase came from these cartoons).
