    Roadblock was always awesome when he spoke in rhyme. Especially in the movie when he had to carry Cobra Commander out of Cobra La.
    "We got a bargain. But play it safe or there's no doubt, I'll turn your eye balls inside out!"

      "Play it straight" actually.

    Roadblock's voice actor Kenneth "Kene" Holliday was also known as PI Tyler Hudson on Matlock.

    During my first four college semesters I wrote a paper on "the danger of falling power lines". This pertaining to the danger of power lines being mentioned here in this footage about Roadblock. Terrill TC!

    FINALLY my man ROADBLOCK!!!
    You glossed over how General Hawk and the other general reached the decision to have Roadblock escape because RB was the one Joe all the others would trust. RB's character was impeachable.

    You forgot the part were Roadblock singing the GI Joe theme while beating the crap out of Cobra troopers, and captured Cobra Commander.

    I always liked Roadblock, but never knew the love of cooking stuff, that's actually pretty cool. My great uncle was actually a navy cook and always made really good food. In fact his son worked as a baker in Walmart before becoming the stores manager, had even been transferred to the main offices.

    One of my favorites. What I really hated was that his action figure was actually shorter than Cover Girl's action figure.

  • @Hektols

    One of the most iconic Joes, alongside Duke, Scarlet and Snake Eyes.
    I remember the episode where the Joes had to protect the Queen of England and he impressed her with his cooking knowledge.

Talltree codename:Airborne was a native american, while his military outfit had some native references, he looks and acts more like a regular soldier and he wanted to become a lawyer, Rafael J. Melendez codename:zap was a puerto rican but he was portrayed more of a bazooka specialist, alpine was a black man who loved mountaineering and a finance clerk, heck, Torpedo is hawaiian, but he was not portrayed as a stereotypical hawaiian, he was a scuba instructor and a vegetarian, while that statement is true, It's not always the case

    So, he got lured into the military with empty promises of his dreams coming true? Sounds like a typical con man recruiter pitch alright. Also, I love it he was listed for a while from Dayton. That's my hometown, although it's an Air Force town, really.

    I find Stalker, Doc, Heavy Duty & Payload far more believable than Roadblock. He was obviously inspired by Mr. T as B. A. (Bosco Albert) "Bad Attitude Baracus on The A-Team; but B. A. was a mechanical genius and a Sergeant First Class.
    Hated Roadblock's rhyme talk and in G. I. Joe #78, readers are expected to believe he can LEAD a mission? Stalker & Lady J would've been more credible, same in G. I. Joe: The Movie.
