The cartoons of our youth

by Guest Thu 17 Mar 2011, 7:43 pm

Come on then guys, lets hear what your favourite cartoons were when you were a kid.

I used to love Ulysses (although i had no idea what it was about) all that space stuff appealed to me.

Another of my faves was Bravestarr. That futuristic Texas bloke who could use the 'ears of the wolf' 'speed of the puma' 'strength of the bear' and 'eyes of the hawk'

For those who missed it, heres the intro Youtube click here

Great stuff, but what about yours?

JOHNNY BRAVO, DO THE MONKEY!!

I grew up in France for four years (between 4 and 8) and loved this cartoon:

goldorak

Watching it back now, you wouldnt mess with him!

It was like a precursor to Battle of the Planets but more awesome!

Wacky Races, Scooby Doo and my all time favourite Tom and Jerry the Fred Quimby version

Dude that was Bravestarr. Braveheart was the film which taught Mel Gibson to be a true Scotsman - drunk and racist. He's done us proud! laughing

Anyone remember Pole Position? Used to love that show!

As well as He-Man & The Raccoons! thumbsup

The Moomins scared the bejesus out of me though Sad

by David Tails Fri 18 Mar 2011, 8:55 am

I'd have to go with Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, (this one may be a regional one) Family Ness and Ducktales.

I was also a fan of Knightmare. I know that wasn't a cartoon, but I still maintain that with todays graphics they should bring that show back!

by Guest Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:13 am

Sharky and George!

by theundisputedY2D2 Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:18 am

Dogtanian and Around the World with Willy Fogg are another couple of cartoons that I used to love.

DT - Knightmare was awesome! The Helmet of Justice!

by Davie Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:19 am

You lot make me feel old!

by **ADMIN** Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:20 am

Moomins scared the life out of me as well! The thing that used to come through the woods and turn everything to winter.

Knightmare, I didn’t mention it with it being cartoons but I loved that show, it was my childhood.

I know this won’t make much sense to anyone but I’m going to post it anyway, the following is from the annual 6WF award show, it was hosted by Mr T and the award was given to a rather bizarre wrestler called Berzerker (or BZ for short)

The camera returns to the stage but Mr T is unaware that the camera is rolling, he is talking to a backstage runner.

Mr T: Hey sucka! You got my transport arranged for after this job?

Runner: Certainly Mr T, your flight has been arranged especially, 1st class to LA via British Airways.

Mr T: A plane? You crazy fool! A PLANE! You ain't getting me on no goddamn plane sucka!

The runner quickly informs Mr T the camera is rolling and makes a swift exit.

Mr T: Now where were we? Oh yeah best Storyline. Here to present the award is Treguard of Dunshelm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfIk24oXM1A

'Enter Stranger' echoes throughout the arena as Treguard takes the stage followed by three spotty teenagers. A table is set up on the stage with the award, a gold bar and half a chicken.

Treguard: The nominees for best storyline are as follows:

Killer: My music hits! (The scene: Killer sitting backstage)….6WF v TAW: The invasion (Video highlights of the 6wf v TAW feud are shown)……The return of Real Dude (Real Dude is shown backstage wearing an Nwf t-shirt, the crowd boo)…..and Berzerker revealed Part 1 (The crowd go wild as Bezerker waves manically at the camera).

And the winner is.....

Spellcasting: B E R Z E R K E R!!!

Berzerker enters the stage with the Helmet of Justice on his head. Immediately a giant face appears on the titantron and piece by piece bits fall off. Berzerker cannot see where to go and the children are directing him.

Children: Left! Left! No that's right! Left! Go forward! Left! Turn round!

By this point the face has fallen away to a skull as Berzerker reaches the table.

Bz: I can see the award, a chicken and a gold bar, what do I do? What do I do?

Children: Pick up the chicken and put it in your knapsack.

Bz: What? Why? That makes no sense at all!

One of the skulls eyes fall out.

Children: Do it!!

Berzerker picks up the chicken and puts it in a bag that's hanging over his shoulder. The skull returns to a healthy face and then disappears.

Treguard: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner, Berzerker!

Berzerker goes to collect his award but then a strange horn sound goes off.

Treguard: The goblins are coming, the goblins are coming!

Bz: WTF??

Children: Turn around, turn around, go right go right, straight ahead.

Berzerker spins around a couple of times, gets dizzy and fall off the stage as a couple of grubby dwarves with goblin masks appear from behind the curtain and jump on Bezerker.

Treguard: Ooh nasty!

RJ: We’re going to take a quick commercial break and sort this mess out. Then we’ll be right back with the Next Big Thing award!

by theundisputedY2D2 Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:38 am

Quality!

The Moomins were truly terrifying, remember being totally pertrified of Zelda in Terrahawks as well, my sisters used to rip me mercilessly about that one! Evil b|tches furious

by David Tails Fri 18 Mar 2011, 9:43 am

Sharky and George. Great shout!

I really did love Knightmare though. I think we need to start a v2 petition to get it brought back!

by Guest Fri 18 Mar 2011, 12:35 pm

Dont you open that trapdoor! Cos theres something down there!

by theundisputedY2D2 Fri 18 Mar 2011, 12:41 pm

Ooh globbits!

by liverbnz Fri 18 Mar 2011, 12:50 pm

Ghostbusters, TMNT, Garfield and Knightmare as well!

Anyone remember Hulk Hogan's cartoon. Rubbish if I remember correct!

by **ADMIN** Fri 18 Mar 2011, 1:16 pm

The real Ghostbusters was quality, my kids love it now.

One that no-one has mentioned but was genius...

Dungeons & Dragons.

by Adam D Fri 18 Mar 2011, 1:43 pm

D&D was great although the kids never got home - hows that for a happy ending kiddos!

by theundisputedY2D2 Fri 18 Mar 2011, 1:46 pm

Dungeons & Dragons was great, it never seemed to end though! laughing

Did anyone else have a crush on Cheetara?

by **ADMIN** Fri 18 Mar 2011, 1:55 pm

by Gaelic-Warrior Sun 20 Mar 2011, 3:12 pm

Still in my early twenties I'm a wee bit younger than most of youse. I rermember most of the stuff they showed on cartoon network, Aye aberdeen steve, Johnny Braavo was a right gas. Do you remember those crazy japanese anime cartoons they showed in the 90's - pokemon etc.
I can't beleive they were allowed to show half that stuff, I remeber one from the late 90's called tenchi muyo that was on cartoon network, I'd never seen so much cartoon nudity in all my life!! Shocked

by AberdeenSteve Sun 20 Mar 2011, 4:17 pm

Gaelic Warrior - I remember that programme with the cartoon nudity too. Haha! There was some dodgy stuff on Cartoon Network back in the day. Cow and chicken where it was pretty much at times brother and sister incest. Dexters lab, ed edd and eddy. All pretty innuendo filled at times.

Johnny Bravo though - Brilliant!!

by The Galveston Giant Sun 20 Mar 2011, 8:54 pm

Great thread and brings back some crazy memory's, here goes.

Thundercats
He-Man
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Knightmare
The hurricanes
Sharky and George

Inspector Gadget
Rugrats
Funhouse (Not a cartoon but loved it)
Babar

by Guest Sun 20 Mar 2011, 10:51 pm

Turtles,Ghostbusters and Rugrats for me

although I still watch cartoons now, can't beat a bit of Spongebob Squarepants

by theundisputedY2D2 Mon 21 Mar 2011, 2:30 pm

Anyone remember on Cartoon Network where they used to show stuff like Penelope Pitstop & Hong Kong Phooey but mix in clips of old 70's films and other random stuff? There was one where they kept on bleeping stuff out so it sounded like they were swearing: "I'll get you Penelope Pitstop! You're a BEEPing BEEP!"

No idea what it was called but it was awesome!

by AberdeenSteve Mon 21 Mar 2011, 9:06 pm

Dragonball Z anyone? :run2:

by AquaArab Tue 22 Mar 2011, 9:33 am

I used to love jammie and his magic torch. Catchiest theme tune for any cartoon, watched it recently and the people who created it must have been off their head on drugs, awesome!
Also like Chorlton and the wheelies, funny as hell and got me a punishemnet exercise the first day I went to secondry school, ahhh great days!

by President Trump Tue 22 Mar 2011, 10:18 am

I love the Dragonball Series well not much GT but the original and Z are epic

by AquaArab Tue 22 Mar 2011, 10:33 am

Just remembered used to watch Roger Ramjet as well as Hong Kong Phooey and Fangface. Also used to watch Denver the lost Dinosaur, Godzilla ( he was thirty stories high, don't you know) and Captain Caveman. All totoaly epic cartoons, they don't make them like they used to.

by davidl1061 Tue 22 Mar 2011, 10:44 am

How could I forget the hurricanes! what a cartoon that was!

by President Trump Tue 22 Mar 2011, 10:45 am

Godzilla was great and his little mate Godzookie

by Dx Dan. Thu 31 Mar 2011, 9:45 am

Wacky Racerrssssssssssssssss! Smile

by theundisputedY2D2 Thu 31 Mar 2011, 10:43 am

Inspector Gadget.

My sister could do a dead-on impression of him, but only saying 'Penny'. If she tried any other line she sounded like Ken Barlow.

by **Enforcer** Thu 31 Mar 2011, 11:19 am

Jimbo & The Jetset, Raggy Dolls and Toucan Tecs were two that I loved that haven't been mentioned yet.

I found this site the other night and there are theme tunes on there that I had forgotten about!

by **Pr4wn** Thu 31 Mar 2011, 11:49 am

Stoppit & Tidyup.

That is all.

by Gregers Thu 31 Mar 2011, 11:52 am
