Memories of my childhood, classic cartoons and some other randomness, actually AWESOMNESS!

Submitted by jarod on August 1, 2007 – 10:40 pm5 Comments

I just thought I’d share a littl bit of my childhood inspiration and what cartoons molded my wet cement of a brain when I was kid growing up in Nor Cal and SAN DIEGO.

P.S. I was born in 1978 so if it gives you any idea of my generation.

Just a WARNING, this post might waste some time but it’s well worth it, you’ll totally enjoy it especially if you were born within the same time period!!!

M.A.S.K.

The cartoon ruled!!! I had a bunch of toys from this show as well.

the INTRO song that got you all hyped!!!

Here’s the rundown of the different M.A.S.K. Agents, Condor rocking out, Rhino I mean those are awesome names!

Now Centurions, these guys ruled as well.

I had the Max Roy figure they were all crazy how you could snap on their gear and weapons.

INTRO to Centurions!!!!

Supposedly this is only 1993, but these stick out in my mind as well for some reason.

“After these messages we’ll be right back”

Some Disney cartoons…

GOOFY TAUGHT ME HOW TO play Basketball, Swim, Ski, and EVEN HOW TO DRIVE!!!!!

Goofy Basketball, I mean these were classic!!!

A bunch of Goofy looking characters.

DOUBLE DRIBBLE

GOOFY – HOW TO SKI

That classic, “Yaaahhhhooooo wwweeeeee”

GOOFY- How to SWIM

GOOFY- How To NOT SMOKE…

That one stuck, TRUTH.COM

GOOFY- How to Drive aka Motor MANIA!!!

GOOFY GYMNASTICS

Susie the Little Blue Coupe.

The narrators voice is awesome, same voice as Winnie the Pooh, such a recognizable voice.

Iconic.

I just keep finding more so I’m posting this for my record at this point

Lonesome Ghosts featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy,

The Surfing ghost is a throwback

Donald in THE PLASTIC INVENTOR

Some Tex Avery, MGM Cartoons now!!!!

SWING SHIFT CINDERELLA

This cartoon is awesome, I loved this one as it plays on all of our lame sayings we use.

It’s called: Symphony in SLANG

“Cat got your tongue”

Cat that hated people-

This cartoon ruled but I can’t find it on YOUTUBE, oh well forever in my mind

LITTLE JOHNNY JET

An older W.W.II era plane begins to feel that he’s becoming obsolete in the emerging era of jet flight. He has trouble finding a job and returns home to his wife and gets a surprise. He’s going to become a father.

John the plane received a final blow to his ego when he discovered his son was born a jet. He decided to enter a race against the newer models of planes to show that he still had worth, but he soon realized that he was in trouble after his propellers flew off his wings, and he began to plummet. Seconds later, out of nowhere, he got a surprising thrust of speed. He realized that his son had grabbed his tail and was keeping him in the air. He saw that they still had a chance to win the race. John told his son to lay on the speed, and the proud father-son pair blew the competition away. John and Mary are commissioned to give birth to an entire fleet of new jets.

STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I literally was pysched to find this one, ANYBODY INTO CARS will love this one.

Classic and morally driven, this is AWESOME!!!!

This reminds me of me and my son

ONE CAB’S FAMILY

YOU TUBE IS AMAZING BY THE WAY!!!!!

EVERYBODY ELSE looks at the old school music, punk and rarity’s.
