I think my favorite is Metalhead, he's basically like every other "radical" character who talks like a surfer dude. Inferno is basically the guy who would have become a spree killer IRL. Fensler would have dubbed THESE "knowing is half the battle" segments
I don't think the Dark Horse comics are canon to the show for various reasons, but they did explain that the Count was a real person that Iron Klaw killed and assumed the identity of, and that Iron Klaw let Rampage assume it was the military that transformed him when he was actually the one responsible. They were also better stories than the show.
Thanks for making these videos! I grew up in the 80s on G.I. Joe ARAH, and to this day one of my favorite episodes is "Captives of Cobra", which you used as comparison to G.I. Joe Extreme. As a kid, being adopted is always a difficult struggle, and seeing Shipwreck have that moment with his nephew in the show honestly helped me out back then as well. I just re-watched it yesterday in fact, and it's still an amazing moment in the series to me.
I'd like to see some of those villains worked into future GI Joe works. Either as third faction with their own agenda or just full on Cobra members. Iron Claw's deserves it the most with his mysterious shapshifting and double nature.
Funny enough, the 'G.I. Joe' comic from Marvel was originally going to be a 'S.H.E.I.L.D' comic with Larry Hama as one of the main writers, but that became the 'G.I. Joe' comic instead after Marvel acquired the license.
considering that Marvel not only produced the G.I. Joe comics, but also the cartoon, I'm surprised they didn't do a Captain America figure as a mailaway.
This cartoon is what happens when Rob Leifeld eats G.I. Joe and and everything 90s, barfs them out, pisses on the barf, and then the pile mutates into G.I. Joe EXTREME!
I was born in late 1985 so this show is my generation's G.I. Joe. I have only seen the first episode but my first impression is that it is great. Must be a generation bias.
From all G.I. Joe cartoon this one is easily worst. As bad as they are G.I. Joe The Movie and G.I. Joe Sigma 6 have nothing on G.I. Joe Extreme as far as being bad cartoon goes. I am happy that you mentioned G.I. Joe Renegades because I really like that. After all I grew up reading G.I. Joe comic books published by Marvel rather than watching original 80's cartoon so I am used to having more complex characters and actually serious villains as well as actual stakes involved in my G.I. Joe. Those comic books were not afraid to kill off named characters from any of sides when time was right. Even October Guard wasn't safe.
How could they have an "extreme" G.I. Joe that does not include Sgt. Slaughter? His name alone should've allowed him to be apart of this team (and probably would've made it better).
G.I. Joe Extreme is one of my taste than Beast Wars: Transformers in the mid and a bit late 90s. I wonder when Shout Factory company is going to make G.I. Joe Extreme on DVDs and Blu-rays soon or later. I been waiting for it.
Ironically Captain America teamed up with the Transformers, but not GI Joe and yes there was outrage. I still want to know why Cobra Commander never once appeared in this series since it takes place during the same time as Transformers season 3 which includes "Only Human" Especially since the SGT Savage stand alone episode basically told us the fallen enemy was Cobra
The Marvel GI Joe comics (and Transformers later retconned despite Spider-Man, SHIELD, and the Savage Land appearing previously and Circuit Breaker appearing in Secret Wars II) didn't take place in the mainstream Marvel universe. That's why we didn't get Captain America joining the Joes. Just Sgt. Slaughter, which makes up for it.
Speaking of Transformers, isn't that (or at least the 80's show) kinda the future to G.I. Joe since there's a female characters (I forgot her name) who's hinted to be the daughter of (I think) Lady J?
Jennea Coleman-Cubero Flint. The character is Melissa Fareborn and one episode does seem to indicate that Flint is his daughter. Also Cobra Commander is part of one episode.
Extreme! Oh Lord. The 90s had its good share of embarrassing trends. This show is the Yo Yogi! of its era in that there is no way you want to see it again. However how bad is it when Yo Yogi gets reruns on TV than this. Dang. At least they did good with the villains.
I have only seen the first episode but my first impression is that the show looks great, maybe because I was born in late 1985. As for Yo Yogi, I like that too. I have it on iTunes. It's a fun show with the same charm as A Pup Named Scooby Doo and Tom & Jerry Kids.
I'm not as familiar with GI Joe as I am with Transformers, but I have no idea what this has to do with GI Joe from what I know about the franchise. Also, what's with all the shading? It's like most of the animation budget spent on black ink, because it's EVERYWHERE in this show. I've only heard stories of how bad this show was, but now I know, and knowing is half the battle (GI JOOOOOOOOOOE!!!)
I remember watching this show as a kid and hate the visual aesthetics like there were too many shadows in the show. I looked like it was always set in a low light environment a perpetual twilight if you will. It was always distracting to me and it prevented me from felling in vested in the show.
I'm happy to say this I actually enjoyed GI Joe extreme and I have it on DVD complete series set with the pilot episode of Sergeant Savage and the screaming eagles. Yes it was no original GI Joe from the '80s but it was interesting in its own way. In other words what I'm saying is everybody has their own opinion, just because you hate the show doesn't mean everybody else is going to hate it as well.
I will say that while this show is extreme shit, they at least had the foresight to have the show not end on a premature cliffhanger or anything, since we actually got an ending with the G.I. Joes defeating Cobr-- erm... SKAR, seemingly for good.
So G.I. Joe Extreme is like stargate infinity for the G.I. Joe fandom; they are both hated by their fandom but have things in the show that the fans like. Please do Cartoon Clipshow on stargate infinity
I'm a comic book artist and I'm ashamed to admit that I used to draw over exaggerated anatomy with wayyy to big muscles and laughably small heads with wayyyy too many veins popping out, looking at this several years later really makes me embarrassed but glad I've changed now look at this art as example of what NOT to draw comic art wise, though I did love the inking style, yeah it was 90's style but still nice negative space .....
Strong disagree. Once you can get past the 'Extreme' coat of paint on it, there were some decent stories and well written episodes that came out of this version of GIJoe.
Only most of the giajoe sunbow season 1 is good. Season 2 is worse in plot and other series, this got good animation but not the original cast and shitty characters.
Ok soo the extreme team are like the next versions of clones just too extreme savage is steroid Duke, then you harpoon who is extreme torpedo, freight who is too extreme version of roadblock, the dred head dude is the extreme version of alpine. And the surfer dude is a cross between footloose and mainframe. Of course snake eyes clone black lacking. Mayday who is lady j cross between scarlet so yeah its totally Extreme of gi joe recycled clone factory
Yeah I remember seeing a couple of the episodes were broadcast in one of channels here in the Philippines in Southeast Asia. Saw maybe two and stopped watching since I could not connect it to any of the G. I. Joe I watched as a kid. I also felt the team looks horrible and it looked liked they are steroid like muscular weirdos. I just could not get it. Personally it just looked stupid.
The Robot Chicken GI Joe Extreme sketch was much better than the actual show!
I think my favorite is Metalhead, he's basically like every other "radical" character who talks like a surfer dude.
Inferno is basically the guy who would have become a spree killer IRL.
Fensler would have dubbed THESE "knowing is half the battle" segments

"What a couple of spoiled PRICKS!"
Quote of the year for ya, Rob. XD
And understatement of the year as well.

It would be cool if Scar is a separate terrorist organization or a subdivison of Cobra in a future series.
I’d like to see three way fighting with G.I. Joe, Cobra, and Scar.
Funny enough, the 'G.I. Joe' comic from Marvel was originally going to be a 'S.H.E.I.L.D' comic with Larry Hama as one of the main writers, but that became the 'G.I. Joe' comic instead after Marvel acquired the license.

@@DasNordlicht91 From Marvel, and Sunbow.
Wow, is this show the 90s in a nutshell...
Personally, I’m looking forward to the Gi Joe Renegades review.
This cartoon is what happens when Rob Leifeld eats G.I. Joe and and everything 90s, barfs them out, pisses on the barf, and then the pile mutates into G.I. Joe EXTREME!
Black Dragon is rip-off Snake Eyes. Mayday is Scarlett. Lt. Stone is Duke. Hell, everyone is rip off of original G.I. Joe.
Skarr's evil plan is to, you guessed it, take over the world. (OF COURSE!)
Y'know, the comparison between Iron Klaw and M. Bison makes all the more sense considering they were voiced by the same guy. COINCIDENCE!?
He also voiced Megatron in Beast Wars and the main villain of Gundam Wing.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Actually, he voiced Rhinox.
And G.I JOE has had cross-overs with Street Fighter....
6:03 - The original Slipknot, the guy who can 'climb anything'. 😆
I was born in late 1985 so this show is my generation's G.I. Joe. I have only seen the first episode but my first impression is that it is great. Must be a generation bias.
If you want an excuse to get out of jury duty, take a shot every time the word extreme is said in this video
Some of the actors from Exosquad were in this show.
Sergeant Savage is a combination of Captain America and Nick Fury.
I remember the toys but never saw the show. Glad to be spared. Also my first time watching one your videos, i enjoyed it.
Excellent episode as always. If you ever wanted to do a cross-over, I would enjoy that.
Good review. I await your G.I. Joe Renegades review. That was my favorite of the franchise.
Dude it's just Bobby lashley an Scott Steiner the animated series. With guest appearances by Brock lesner and Goldberg.
So cobra did fall in 2006 so the transformers g1 episode only human cobra commander was broke and became known as the snake
I'm actually watching this show right now and am enjoying. Its more fun than i thought.
Inferno was also Dr. Hiss in Botzmaster. Equally as annoying
Did Rob Liefeld work on this show?
I hope not...
@@chaossonic1237 That explains so much...
Even if Liefeld didn’t work on this show, I feel like he deserves royalties.
I thought sergeant stone was supposed to flint because of copyright names
Extreme was more G.I. Noooo! than G.I. Joe!
I still miss those years. Those years when even the so-called "bad" stuff still had some soul in them as opposed to now where they aren't even trying.
Tunnel rat in renegades is a total bad@$$.
BEAST WARS!
From all G.I. Joe cartoon this one is easily worst. As bad as they are G.I. Joe The Movie and G.I. Joe Sigma 6 have nothing on G.I. Joe Extreme as far as being bad cartoon goes.

Extreme!!!!
MOTU1978cl has a fan-made DVD copy of this show.
How could they have an "extreme" G.I. Joe that does not include Sgt. Slaughter? His name alone should've allowed him to be apart of this team (and probably would've made it better).
Oh 90's and your obsession with EXTREME.
90's Kid: DUUUUUUUUUUDE, the 90's were EXTREEEEEEME!
Marc Baker Extreme maaaan!
looks like an expansion to TJOmega's review
Pretty sure Rob Liefeld had drawn up these characters given how he had stated his love for gi Joe's influence on Deadpool and his muscle bound traits
G.I. Joe Extreme is one of my taste than Beast Wars: Transformers in the mid and a bit late 90s.
I wonder when Shout Factory company is going to make G.I. Joe Extreme on DVDs and Blu-rays soon or later. I been waiting for it.
You can find episodes on DailyMotion.

ShadowWing Tronix yep as mentioned earlier would have been nice to have some continuity to Only Human and I forgot about Mellisa Faireborn
Got it. Thanks.
5:00 One of my favorite Joes.
6:05 Quick strike look likeMajor Lazer
To be honest, the live action segments look like they belong in Mighty Morphine Power Rangers.
Yeah all 3 stones (extreme/sigma 6 and the movie ver) are all suppose to be different guys but yet they all had the name stone
Extreme! Oh Lord. The 90s had its good share of embarrassing trends. This show is the Yo Yogi! of its era in that there is no way you want to see it again. However how bad is it when Yo Yogi gets reruns on TV than this. Dang. At least they did good with the villains.
Don't forget Rob Liefeld, pouches and big guns.
I have only seen the first episode but my first impression is that the show looks great, maybe because I was born in late 1985.
As for Yo Yogi, I like that too. I have it on iTunes. It's a fun show with the same charm as A Pup Named Scooby Doo and Tom & Jerry Kids.
EXTREMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
@0:43 Wat show? I love shows with muscles, guns,police and military.
YO JOE TO THE EXTREME !!!
I'm not as familiar with GI Joe as I am with Transformers, but I have no idea what this has to do with GI Joe from what I know about the franchise. Also, what's with all the shading? It's like most of the animation budget spent on black ink, because it's EVERYWHERE in this show.
I've only heard stories of how bad this show was, but now I know, and knowing is half the battle (GI JOOOOOOOOOOE!!!)
I remember when this came on TV and not liking it right off the bat. I un-ironically liked watching Ultraforce and thought this was garbo's.
Will you review g1 transformers cartoon
cried out in agony worse or less after scarlet strike force?
I remember watching this show as a kid and hate the visual aesthetics like there were too many shadows in the show. I looked like it was always set in a low light environment a perpetual twilight if you will. It was always distracting to me and it prevented me from felling in vested in the show.
The 90's was a different time for the gi Joe.
Btw, any plans to do Street Sharks in the near future?
Dare I say that show is Jawsome?
I think Cable is going to sue somebody.
robthewonderful I haven't seen any versions of GI Joes
But is it better than the live action films?
You know what gets me is that Blackdragon looks like a Fred clone from the comis.
Only in 26 Episodes from GI Joe Extreme.
Robthewonderful I haven't seen any of the versions of G.I Joes
I'm happy to say this I actually enjoyed GI Joe extreme and I have it on DVD complete series set with the pilot episode of Sergeant Savage and the screaming eagles. Yes it was no original GI Joe from the '80s but it was interesting in its own way. In other words what I'm saying is everybody has their own opinion, just because you hate the show doesn't mean everybody else is going to hate it as well.
I wonder who would win in a fight. Cobra vs Skarr!!!
have you ever thought of doing a episode review of transformers or gi joe
I will say that while this show is extreme shit, they at least had the foresight to have the show not end on a premature cliffhanger or anything, since we actually got an ending with the G.I. Joes defeating Cobr-- erm... SKAR, seemingly for good.
0:42 who is he
So G.I. Joe Extreme is like stargate infinity for the G.I. Joe fandom; they are both hated by their fandom but have things in the show that the fans like. Please do Cartoon Clipshow on stargate infinity
I love gi joe extreme
The 80s and 90s and what they do with being hit and then extreme.
The action figures were cool.
The music parts reminds me of street sharks.
I'm a comic book artist and I'm ashamed to admit that I used to draw over exaggerated anatomy with wayyy to big muscles and laughably small heads with wayyyy too many veins popping out, looking at this several years later really makes me embarrassed but glad I've changed now look at this art as example of what NOT to draw comic art wise, though I did love the inking style, yeah it was 90's style but still nice negative space .....
EXTREME MAN
The annoying voice guy reminds me of Defacely Marmeister from Hammerman.
Please review night Hood and diabolik cartoon
It’s distracting how faces and hands sometimes just slide into frame.
Definitely inspired by X-men.
had some of the same people working on it (Michael Edens, Will Meugniot, etc.)
More like X-Force during the Rob Liefeld era.
It was animated by AKOM and produced by Graz Entertainment, that's why.
I got a show for your next review
Do lilo and stich
Strong disagree. Once you can get past the 'Extreme' coat of paint on it, there were some decent stories and well written episodes that came out of this version of GIJoe.
alpha teens on machines is worse
Only most of the giajoe sunbow season 1 is good. Season 2 is worse in plot and other series, this got good animation but not the original cast and shitty characters.
Gi joe extreme wasn't that bad. there were worst cartoons in the 90's. Most cartoons from the 90's had big 1 dimensional characters.
Ok soo the extreme team are like the next versions of clones just too extreme savage is steroid Duke, then you harpoon who is extreme torpedo, freight who is too extreme version of roadblock, the dred head dude is the extreme version of alpine. And the surfer dude is a cross between footloose and mainframe. Of course snake eyes clone black lacking. Mayday who is lady j cross between scarlet so yeah its totally Extreme of gi joe recycled clone factory
God, this show is 90s as hell!
And I grew up in that decade!
😅
I’ve:(sadly), watched this show back when it aired, and it was dumb too🤦🏻♂🙄😡💯.
Yeah I remember seeing a couple of the episodes were broadcast in one of channels here in the Philippines in Southeast Asia. Saw maybe two and stopped watching since I could not connect it to any of the G. I. Joe I watched as a kid. I also felt the team looks horrible and it looked liked they are steroid like muscular weirdos. I just could not get it. Personally it just looked stupid.
Yep the show was complete shit.
