Shipwreck was always my favorite Joe in the cartoon. I remember having a hard time finding his action figure when I was a kid. I checked the toy section in every store I visited and never could locate him. Then one day I finally found him complete and in excellent condition at a garage sale. I was so happy, I was jumping up and down!
Interesting enough I didn't even know that movie existed until 7-8 years ago. We had a writer for our local newspaper who sponsored a sort of noir film series at one of the local theaters where films that have "fallen of the radar" would be shown for anyone wanting to attend. This was usually followed up by a discussion after the film. One of the films was "The Last Detail". He explained (I couldn't attend but read the write-up) this was one of Nicholson's early films pre-superstardom (aka No Chinatown, Postman Rings Twice, etc.) but right next to "Six Easy Pieces" which obviously was one that got him really noticed. So good call on that.
@@JonathanMCook Six Easy Pieces is a good movie! Especially the diner scene where he’s trying to order toast! I actually have the theatrical poster I found at a retro shop. I think I paid $17 for it
My best memory of Shipwreck, other than having the action figure, was in the animated series when he and (I believe) Lady-J were throwing apples at a giant slime/green blob creature to poison it. Shipwreck, throwing apples one by one, repeating, "This is the one. No. Maybe this one..." etc. Eventually, Lady-J convinces Shipwreck to abandon the apple throw by promising him a date to go swimming, which they immediately do by jumping into a river, beneath where they were standing, in order to escape the path of the creature.
LMMAOFF ' ... Love that Episode , Gen Hawk and I quote ; Shipwreck has neither the Ability or Desire to Command or Lead " or something to that effect , Ol Hector gav no shits about it . hell ' it's been at least 25 years since I've even seen that episode !
Shipwreck has always been my favorite joe. I just loved how he is in the cartoons. Now many years later imagine to my surprise that he is from Chula Vista. I have been born and raised and still live in Chula Vista.
I have to say it sure was toasty !! Help he's melting !! Nightmare fuel as a kid but now i find the episode kind of silly but good.You feel bad for shipwreck since,he all most had a happy life even if it wasn't real.
@黑狮子 Same. To THIS DAY, that episode has never been shown unedited in various reruns whether the show was re-packaged for syndication. Then years later shown on Cartoon Network, and even when they aired it on the Hub before the station was rebranded "Discovery Family". I'm guessing that was permanently clipped to never be aired again.
@Doug Parker I've seen repeats from reruns during the original run of the series to Cartoon Network airings to Discovery Family. To this DAY, I have never seen the unedited version re-aired.
Shipwreck was most peoples fav on the classic cartoon i believe.And i had a special fondness for him because of my dad being a Navy river rat in Nam.And i was in the Navy later on.So it was mandatory to like anything Navy Lol
Shipwreck grew up in Varrrio Logan in SD. In the cartoon he was awesome. I remember he punched a helicopter pilot in the back of the head without saying anything while they were flying. Awesome.
At 2:19 ship wreck and cover girl are fighting together. I like how in the tv show. Her and cover girl are always talking about going out on a date. Those two would have awesome dates together.

It amazes me that they call their tanks MBTs or main battle tanks since those are really the only types of tanks most armies have. I mean America's got the Bradly fighting vehicle and the M113 series and Russia has the BMP lines but those aren't tanks, they're classified as armored vehicles and "battle taxis" Most armies of the world haven't actually fielded multiple series of tanks in their arsenals since ww2 Shipwreck was always been one of my favorite Joes and one of my favorites of both sides altogether
Adm Keel Haul of the USS Flagg 🚢 was born in Charlottesville VA. That's my birth place 😉. Fun fact, author Steven King wrote Keel Hauls bio because his son liked the Hasbro toys...
Great informative video as usual. Just 1 but strong suggestion for all of your documentary video: Please spell foreign words in the way they are spelt by their native speaker. Not like typical nort americans who either pronounce with their version of english, or refuse to utter them at all. I have witnessed it in many north american video, including yours. For example in this episode in particular, it is correctly spelt as "Äf-ghá-nees-tân", not "êf-gē-nees-tên". Thank you. And keep up the good work. Yo Joe.
Fun Fact 1:39 this figure of Shipwreck Navy S.E.A.L. (in the wetsuit) was used in Action League NOW and was named Stinky Diver: a former Navy commando with an attitude as bad as his odor.
@@WhisperingOaks118 Correct. A CPO's uniform of the day is khakis. Bad research by the Joe team writers. Could have just made him a First Class and he'd be good. I see this in the original G.I. Joe a lot. They try to make everyone the highest possible rank they could. Too many chiefs syndrome. Even the Marines Special Operations Command has Sergeants and below.
it's kinda sloppy, when you mention America's Elite you really could have statted Shipwreck was dating Covergirl much to everyones suprise. in the devils due run Polly stayed at home as he was getting to old. Speaking of Polly, the Action Force name was suposed to be Seasick.
He was a chief but wore the chevrons of a second class petty officer? I remember proudly telling everyone I was mute Shipwreck when I got my second class chevrons
Like quick kick, shipwreck was use a lot better in the cartoon than the comic in my opinion. He like one of those sidekicks in 80s cartoons like snarf and Orko but a lot more cool and interesting. Also, do low light next.
Peter Ang LoL at snarf and Orko. Yeah shipwreck is comedic sidekick relief like them, that’s a good call! Sgt Slaughter is this weekend and Low-Light is next on deck after that!
E. M. Totally agree with you. Though, I somewhat glad, he doesn’t so much like in the comic book, where there an entire issues on snake eye and less on gi joe ( you know, what I mean in the 90s ).
@@peterang78 I think Shipwreck in the show was way too mouthy, and was more for comic relief than anything. There were many Joes like Spirit and Snake Eyes with little to no time on the show. What makes them interesting is their past lives before joining the Joes.
@Kerry Howard yeah Venture Bros was great it really rewarded it's fans by using call backs to previous episodes and the world they built was extremely cool. I wish shows would dare to be clever with plots and humor again, unfortunately the world is so damn PC now where people bend over backwards to look for the tiniest thing to get offended over 👎. I hate to think what a show like that would be like these days , all the clever material would be pulled because some idiots can't understand humor and how it needs to push boundaries and comment on society and challenge social norms . I'm sorry for the huge rant
S.W. WAS 1 OF MY FAVORITE GIJ MEMBER. HE'S IS 😂 A BIT OF A W.A. BTW I ❤ HIS PET 🐦. IT'S WAS 😂 TO . MAN I'M CRAZY ABOUT THE OLD CT. THE NEW 1. DIDN'T DO IT 4 ME!!!
Piranha boat came out in 2004 and the 2 pack came out in 2005 not 2007, Valor vs Venom line was 2004-2005 around the time the movie was released. Only VVV single packs were re released in 2008.
as I recall this is one of those guys that girls have never liked at all and would never get a date with a girl even if he was the last man on earth. others just couldn't stand being around him for long periods of time. has anger issues however the one thing he has in common with few is not liking any authority anywhere. but there seems to be one of those in every group. Shipwreck getting shoved away but never gives up keeps being a chaser trying to get the girls around him. he wouldn't stand a chance against Jinx she will knock his ass out. either that or put him out of action for a long time.
It's funny that I read that the Rock was supposed to play Shipwreck, but they got the Rock to play Roadblock instead. I wonder which actor could play Shipwreck
Can you imagine all the Joe's, field stripping their weapons and there is Shipwreck, cleaning his scoped howdah pistol? They must have thought he was crazy..er...
*Am I the only one who thinks that Star Trek: The Next Generation totally ripped off the There's No Place Like Springfield episode of GI Joe? Both were secretly tricked with the perfect life as a plot by the enemy to get information from Riker and Shipwreck, both discovered theirs beards were dyed gray, both were married to a one-off former love interest, and a few other similarities*
I may be the only one who thinks this but Shipwreck is the most ANNOYING character in Gi Joe. His stupid sailor suit with his hat that doesn’t even come off when he’s underwater lol. Just the cartoon version though. In the comics he’s a bit better. Not much better but a little bit better
Shipwreck ironically was one of the reasons I ended up joining the Navy. The other was my brother who was a Chief Boatswain Mate.

He was one of my faves. He was sarcastic and a smart ass, as most sailors are😂
Sweet!!! Shipwreck is one of my favorites. He is the best sand sailor ever!!!!
Why does he wear gloves most of the time?
Juan Diego Serna he’s a good sailor!
@@Cre8Lounge HAHAHA only sailors would know!!!!
I think the Jack Nicholson style voice was inspired by The Last Detail.

The best character ofGijoe.! My inspiration for joining the Navy!
Mine too.
Same
Me too! Why does he sport a beard? And wear the wrong uniform?
Very interesting
The first G.I. Joe action figure I ever owned was Shipwreck. He's always going to be my favorite. I still have him, packed away somewhere.
Favorite Shipwreck episode is when Cobra gave Him, Lifeline and Dialtone promotions.
LMMAOFF ' ... Love that Episode , Gen Hawk and I quote ; Shipwreck has neither the Ability or Desire to Command or Lead " or something to that effect , Ol Hector gav no shits about it . hell ' it's been at least 25 years since I've even seen that episode !
@@bernardcalloway2205 Funny Hawk would say that given the amount of times Shipwreck literally saved everyone's buts in the previous season lol.
I think Shipwreck did better than the other two in that episode.
My favorite Joe. Thanks Jessie!
Shipwreck was my favorite GI Joe character. Love his origin story too.
Shipwreck has always been my favorite joe. I just loved how he is in the cartoons. Now many years later imagine to my surprise that he is from Chula Vista. I have been born and raised and still live in Chula Vista.
People dont like him, but hes one of my favorite gj Joe's
Theron Mitchell he’s a cool character 😎
@@JLSComics I think what would be cool is, if they show how he goes from being a sailor to being a seal.
The brainwashing episode was one of the most nightmare inducing things of my life...when all the synths melt...wowsa
Brian Witt it was shocking see that as a kid
I have to say it sure was toasty !! Help he's melting !! Nightmare fuel as a kid but now i find the episode kind of silly but good.You feel bad for shipwreck since,he all most had a happy life even if it wasn't real.

One of the best Joe's ever and definitely one of the most popular
Shipwreck is my kind of guy. I like the cut of his jib.
Shipwreck was 1 of my favorite characters on GI Joe
Shipwreck had the best PSA’s after the show. “Hey look it’s Shipwreck!”
Shipwreck, Roadblock, and Snake Eyes are my favorite Joes
Shipwreck was most peoples fav on the classic cartoon i believe.And i had a special fondness for him because of my dad being a Navy river rat in Nam.And i was in the Navy later on.So it was mandatory to like anything Navy Lol
"Cut me some slack, Polly!"
He was my favorite character; definitely deserves more of a spotlight now!
In current RAH comics, is Shipwreck still a Navy SEAL?
Think you so much from all of your friends in cobra. Now we know who the Joe's are and were to find them.
He’s honestly my favorite Joe
Great video! Appreciate the series, thank you.
Karl Renner Thanks Karl!
Shipwreck is a true seaman and I was born in San Diego. 😀👍
Ever been to MCRD there, 1st Marine Division calls it home
Another great one! Thank up so much for these summaries!!!
Carver Tate Thanks Carver, I’m glad you are enjoying them
Jus letting you know that I love your vids on all these characters!! I grew up watching the cartoon n reading sum of the comics... thank you
Dwald Pilar Awesome, thank you! Lots more still on the way too
Shipwrecks a legend very cool classic Joe ⚓
In my head cannon that two-parter when the synthetics gave him PTSD which manifested as an even worse attitude in the following season of the cartoon.
Alverant I like it!
That’s quite a good fan theory.
PTSD has symptoms like worsing attitude.
If I think of actual GI Joe screen time Shipwreck always did ham it up. One of my favorite Joe's.
Shipwreck grew up in Varrrio Logan in SD.
In the cartoon he was awesome.
I remember he punched a helicopter pilot in the back of the head without saying anything while they were flying.
Awesome.
His street name was Sailor Boy.
You forget to mention his nephew Jesse in "Captives of COBRA" 2-part episode.
My first ever joe i collected is shipwreck cause my grandfather was in the Navy and he's basically became my favorite too.
I liked the G.I.Joe Renegades version of Shipwreck and the way he named his ship after Cover Girl.
At 2:19 ship wreck and cover girl are fighting together. I like how in the tv show. Her and cover girl are always talking about going out on a date. Those two would have awesome dates together.
I agree they would make a great couple.
He should be the main character in a G.I. Joe movie.
Kanovskiy That would be cool
I think Zap from the Bronx NY was the first Hispanic joe...
My top ten favorites
Duke
Scarlett
Roadblock
Snake Eyes
Gung Ho
Flint
Lady Jaye
Shipwreck
Spirit
Snow Job
Big fan of Shore Leave!
One of the names for the "anchor" Shipwreck used is a Dragon's Tail.
gumbiemon That’s cool, I like that name

Never new Shipwreck was Latino. 👍🏼
Love your vids on G.I.Joe
Shipwreck is one of my favorites
Great Lakes is a miserable frozen hell in the Winter. A thousand recruit sleeves covered in snot. Lol lol
I was a recruit in 96 from oct to dec. cold is mild greatlakes was Antarctica

My new favorite chatacter
Yo Joe!
I used to love Shipwreck
I always thought Shipwreck looked a lot like the original GI Joe character.
SW is awesome. i didnt remember he was a Seal...good to know
I really hope the new Classes toyline a Shipwreck figure. I recently started watching the cartoon and he and Quick Kick are my favorites.
Can you talk about Duke please
My brother's favorite Joe!
Oh my God, that gray scuba suit, he was stinky diver in Action League Now!
Shipwreck is the top Latino in G.I.JOE.
