7:19 - 7:42 kind of like how "Nimrod" was a Biblical king who was a great hunter, but Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd "Nimrod" once, so the original meaning was lost and now it's just another word for "idiot".
You do realize that the reason Bugs calls him "Nimrod" is because Fudd is a hunter, right? The cartoon's immense popularity and repeated use of the term led to pop culture redefining the word over time, and deservedly so. Obscure characters from a religious text that only a tiny fraction of the population ever read even in part do not begin to compare with the staggering cultural influence of the Warner Brothers' animation studios.
@@maxwipson147 Hopefully this final issue will conclude the story arc where Alec and Shanna finally break free of their psychological programming and spiral into existential panic while Ms Wilson drags them back to Classroom 101 kicking and screaming for the final time, becoming one of many mannequins posed as students just as lifeless as those we've seen in the background in previous issues.
I just had a weird thought. The truck doesn’t have a consciousness of its own. Ulysses’ own mind has been splintered, an amnesiac chunk of it is part of the truck’s pseudoconsciousness that is slowly healing and becoming its own entity, whilst the human ulysses is going mad trying to figure out what’s missing from his mind... All the while having a special bond with the truck.
8:16 Between this, that Civil War: Frontlines comic where Sally Floyd said the American Way was clawing your way to the top, Paris Hilton and high cholesterol along with Marville saying a scalper endorsed the American Way I’m beginning to see how 2099 got to be the way it did.
for such a vortex of bonkers is kinda impressive how simple & easy to follow the US-1 books are oh hey the Tandy kids might finally end the time loop... or be doomed even harder
OMG! I was playing Hearthstone on my phone while watching this picture in picture. Innkeeper says, "You're back. Come tell us a story." And then your begin talking
Oh good, because if there's one thing that's better than a mysterious, unidentified villain is ANOTHER mysterious, unidentified (possible) villain who has now been established before the current villain has been dealt with.
Their torment will end after those 683 years of non stop first days back at school from "summer vacation" with some new tandy merch to gawk at. The class will be, sadly, dismissed... FROM HELL!
Lewis about you saying in the retrospective that was entitled of you to claim that people learn about comics thanks to you; let me tell you that getting to know your channel reignited my passion for comics once again, and that seeing your episodes cheer me up a little during this past years that were really difficult for me. So thank you Lewis.
you missed a perfect chance to have a clip from muppets christmas carol where Sam says, "it is the American way" its even better cause both have an Ebeneezer in it
I think I had one of those Tandy computer whiz kids comics, when I was a kid, in the early 80s. If I remember it correctly, it was given out free at RadioShack, and involved Wonder Woman teaching kids about how important computers were to modern society, with Superman showing up near the end. Oh, and one of the kids wondered if Wonder Woman was giving away part of her secret identity by mentioning that she used computers a lot in her job, only to have her point out that the use of computers in all sorts of jobs was now common practice. Also, they jumped on the keys of a keyboard for a computer the size of a room. Since originally reading that comic, I have secretly dreamed of having a room-sized computer, only with modern supercomputing parts and memory storage - my own little evil artificial intelligent computer brain with which to do my bidding, maybe take over the world...MUWHAHAHA.... ...Perhaps I've said too much. *puts on wicked kewl sunglasses* *uses Neuralyzer* I said nothing about world domination. I was only talking about a really good egg salad sammich recipe. *whistles innocently* Okay, so does anyone know if that comic was a Tandy computer kids' comic?! It might have been just some random RadioShack comic. Either way, anyone know if Linkara has reviewed the comic I have read, and is there a link to that review?!
After the conclusion of the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids, I think this and Mr. T and the T-Force might be the last comics left from Linkara's early days. All the other ones like Youngblood, ASBAR, and Marville are long gone.
The fact that US has been a part of the Marvel universe for awhile is honestly interesting. Also there are apparently more than one Truck using superhero in Marvel. The others called Roadhog? Razortusk? Iunno, all I know is he appeared in a Spiderman xmen crossover novel trilogy involving time arrows and alternate timelines. Though the two might be the same character iunno.
A 15-minute episode. You must have been so relieved. XD But hey, I'm always happy to see US1 and its particular brand of wackiness make its way onto your screen. :p This comic mixes decent characterization with an off-the-wall premise so well, and it's always delightful to see. Though I do feel kind of bad for the sapient semi, what with its inability to communicate with the others. (If it is sapient and that wasn't a weird one-off thing. . .) And who is this mysterious new mastermind? Something to ponder to distract myself from the sorrow of the last Tandy Computer Whiz Kids being nigh.
You know...I wanted to do a web comic for years now. Can’t really find a plot I think is worthwhile so...would anyone be interested in a gritty realistic US1 reimagining????
"I don't understand women" was probably referring to the sudden kiss out of spite, he was trying to wrap his head around what's happening (his metal brain had no time to properly react to what was going on, unable to realize he's in a nasty love triangle).
Taryn is on tough lady.She throws something through a window,runs over the broken glass and can still do a running leap to the motorcycle all in her bare feet.
I love the serendipity of finally getting around to watching the US-1 comics back through time yesterday, only for a new one to arrive today. Delivered to me with the dependability only a trucker could provide...
It may be the last Tandy Computer Whiz Kids comic, but Alec and Shanna continued to appear in PSA comics handed out in schools for **years** to come. I was still getting them in High School.
@@jfdrac Oh, I don't even remember beyond a few vague memories. They were in an anti-graffitti/civic engagement one. I think there was an anti-drug one.
Why aren't they questioning Mary about her reason for breaking into and burgling Taryn's truck? Regardless of if she did so under the suspicion that Taryn was Midnight, that's still a felony!
Oh man, next week is the final Tandy Computer Whiz Kids comic. I'm sad now. Oh well, we still have the never ending stupidity of the Clone Saga to look forward to.
Afther all the hard work in quality comedy and a great and awesome line of a amazing vídeos analizys, no to mention the massive radio drama crossover, i think linkara earn that sweet candy in the intro :D
Plot twist: they didn't build a mechanical truck, they just gutted Optimus Prime and the years of agony being under mind control from a human without the possibility of communicating with anyone turned him into the psycho we see in the Michael Bay movies.
Midnight's identity is actually spoiled by an issue of SheHulk, which also includes Teryn trucking in space with a guy in a pig costume. The Highwayman would later be brought back as a villain for Ghost Rider and Deadpool.
I'd TOTALLY buy that someone would build luxury condos out in the desert. I mean, even in the 80's when this was probably written, it wasn't that far off a concept. Only thing that would be more believable is if they lost funding halfway through and all that was left was a rusting crane and a partially completed metal skeleton of a building for 10+ years.
Nice to know that SOMEONE is immune to the dip in dots curse, seriously, every time someone in my social circle trys to eat a pack it eather ends up on them, the theme park we're at gets rained out, or someone breaks a bone.

I don't know, I got kind of nostalgic hearing it was the last one hahaha
I'm just crossing my fingers for the eventual Tandy Computer Whiz Kids reboot that exists only so that Linkara has some more comics to review.

7:12 Funnily enough Phineas and Ferb DID once open a truckstop, and it had quite a bit of success till they closed it down.
What are you talking about? the place was just fine all they did was transfer ownership in order to spend more time with the family.
They opened a No-Stop-Truck-Stop, that seems like the opposite of an ordinary Truck Stop
@@allanolley4874 ah yes, that was definitely the only unordinary thing about that truckstop...
I just had a weird thought. The truck doesn’t have a consciousness of its own.

Totally un-Kleenex, man.
@@FuugaNatsu sewing machine!
Finally, some good old fashioned AMERICAN comics! For what is more American then a cyborg trucker who battles crimes with a truck!
I don't think he has tech bits to qualify as a cyborg, just a plate in his head. Not even a prosthetic hand.
Bthsr71 Dude has psychic powers now because of said metal plate. That screams Cyborg to me
@@bthsr7113 technically one could argue eyeglasses make a person a cyborg. A metal plate more than qualifying factor.
A cyborg trucker who battles crimes with his truck...COVERED IN GUNS.
'MURICA, FUCK YEAH!!!
Clutch, Grab and Le Greed, the direct competition for Dewy, Cheatum and Howe.
"The cover is...not very interesting." What are you talking about, Sailor Mars is over there!

Final Wiz Kidz?
I HAVE SO MANY CONFLICTING FEELINGS!
Wow, that was...literally the only time I've ever seen anyone actually eating Dip-N-Dots.

Gizensha Fox
Agreed!
Hey , Linkara if Marvel made a US-1 movie, would you accept to make a cameo?
@Star Wolf 128 Unless they adapt Marville.
@@Valdagast god no
They should just have him cameo in all of them now that Stan Lee died.
@@Valdagast To be fair, a movie "adaptation" of that mess could be less of a headache depending on what gets changed.
That would be so awesome
Wow, the review just started and he’s eating Ice-Cream, Impressive!
@@humanstandssans2484
Next time, just pack a lunch before going to the water park.
Is it just me, or would US-1 have made a good crossover with Knight Rider?
It's not just you
Really wish US-1 was seen more in Marvel media. Totally cool!
He came back in an issue of Deadpool where times were not kind to US Ace.
@@wdcain1 Yeah, and I would like to see him in cartoons and movies, or even in games.
@@macuna1995 I can see him appearing in GoG3. There is a weird rights issue where a toy company owns US-1 so Marvel renamed him US-Ace to keep him.
for such a vortex of bonkers is kinda impressive how simple & easy to follow the US-1 books are
oh hey the Tandy kids might finally end the time loop... or be doomed even harder
Can't wait for US-1 to come to the MCU!
Congrats. The Algorithm tacked on a pre-roll for a trucker-centric podcast.
I’m more partial towards the Oreo dippin’ dots myself.
Is it weird I was eating actual ice cream when the dippin dots showed up. That's freaky.
Oh hell yeah! The return of ULYSSES SOLOMON ARCHER!
RELATION OF STERLING?
Mathieu Leader YOU MAKE THE CALL
@@LaNoLaCola Mallory probably doesn't like to be reminded of her dead, truck-driving brother or said brother's equally truck-driving son.
I think I heard after the series he also appeared in the She-Hilk comics.
"It's the final Tandy Computer Wiz-Kids comic."
It's been Three Thou- it's been over Ten years, but it's certainly felt like Three Thousand years.
I hope next week's title card song is "I Will Remember You"by Sarah McLachlan. Really thank those Whiz Kids for the memories.
9:15 The Belmonts are looking at that whip, and are hiding theirs in shame.
Now that I'm into My Hero Academia, I can't help but think of the Midnight from that series when Linkara talks about the one from here.
OMG! I was playing Hearthstone on my phone while watching this picture in picture. Innkeeper says, "You're back. Come tell us a story." And then your begin talking
For a moment I thought US-1's big rig at the beginning had gone Maximum Overdrive on us.
Oh good, because if there's one thing that's better than a mysterious, unidentified villain is ANOTHER mysterious, unidentified (possible) villain who has now been established before the current villain has been dealt with.
The Health Insurance line was easily the best one of the review. Bar none.
Was looking for a vid to get my mind off the news and up this pops. Thank you Linkara
So we finally will reach the end of the Tandy Computer Wiz Kids AKA the Children of the Damned!
Their torment will end after those 683 years of non stop first days back at school from "summer vacation" with some new tandy merch to gawk at.
The class will be, sadly, dismissed... FROM HELL!

Would you could say that Taryn's actions this issue put her in the...... DANGER ZONE!?
Which would make the highway the truck stop is on a.....
Something tells me Optimus Prime has competition on the open road
Or maybe he just did this as a part-time job waiting for the other Transformers to show up
Monologging in one’s head then delivering the last line out-loud. Clearly The Highwayman took emoting lessons from Squall Leonhart.
Dippin' Dots are God's gift to us mortals.
Having a sentient car would be cool on one hand but also raises moral questions on the other.
The fact that US has been a part of the Marvel universe for awhile is honestly interesting.
Also there are apparently more than one Truck using superhero in Marvel. The others called Roadhog? Razortusk? Iunno, all I know is he appeared in a Spiderman xmen crossover novel trilogy involving time arrows and alternate timelines. Though the two might be the same character iunno.

So a femme fatale called Midnight who wields a whip...Any, My Hero Academia fans around here?
Yep. Though I kinda hate her.
And she also wears a purple Domino mask, although it is thinner than the one midnight from my hero Academia wears.
"I don't understand women" was probably referring to the sudden kiss out of spite, he was trying to wrap his head around what's happening (his metal brain had no time to properly react to what was going on, unable to realize he's in a nasty love triangle).

They were chocolate.

What a motherloading truck!!!
Man, last time I watched this show was... well, I'm not sure. Glad I thought about it recently and decided to look it up. Quality is excellent 👍

Really enjoying this series on US-1. Looking forward to the next issue.
Did not realize that there was an Age Of Extinction Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy on the shelves until the very end of the video.
Nooooooooooooooooooo! Need more Tandy!
Also that poor girl, gets into a car accident and then accused and chased by her friends.
If it’s midnight from my hero academia, I wouldn’t mind her making out with me. Just my opinion
You realize her using her quirk on you does not count as "sleeping with her", right?
