3	Once upon a time, back when the Internet as we know it was still in diapers, a madman named Eric Fensler took 25 old [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle public service announcements]] from the ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' cartoon and turned them into subversive comedy genius. Needless to say, they went memetic.

5	All of them can be viewed on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Jazu64 this]] Website/YouTube channel. Alternatively, [=Jose the Bronx Rican=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkLPAjeI9i4 created and released a DVD]] [[{{Remaster}} "remaster"]] by hand-editing the original PSA's (from their own DVD release) and adding Fensler's audio. In any case, they really have to be seen to be believed.

13	'''Other Kid:''' -whispering- ''I love your movie''.\
14	'''Deep Six:''' '''[[TheUnintelligible MMMDMHMBBMMMM]]'''
15	** Do not tell the Australian that you would rather be playing video games than hide-and-seek. He will lock your friend in a refrigerator and make you go back to class.

27	* GlorifiedSpermDonor: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRWuDsVmTg0 "I believe I knew your mother, son."]]
28	* GratuitousForeignLanguage:
29	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9g8bUOmvm8 PSA #23]] seems to be made entirely out of a basic Japanese tape. Also, '''GEE WARA TASHI FU SUKURUUUUUU'''.
30	** "Nice catch, ''blanco niño'' [[note]]("white boy")[[/note]], but too bad your ass got ''saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked"''.
31	* ImmediateSelfContradiction: [[https://youtu.be/Qu51vkm0SuQ "Give him the stick...DON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK!"]]

33	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy8FDjSGmwQ Man, I'm 'bout to buchapusaputtawickawinnim, mayn]].
34	* LondonGangster: Snow Job tries to comes off as one of these in "[[http://youtu.be/Qu51vkm0SuQ Ice]]", talking in an aggressive [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents Cockney accent]]. Doubles as a ClusterFBomb.
35	--> '''Snow Job:''' Hey, what the fuck are you kids doin' on my fuckin' lawn? And don't look at me when I'm fuckin' talking to you. Get that kid off my ice, you little wankers. A'right, give 'im the stick - '''''[[MemeticMutation DON'T GIVE 'IM THE STICK!]]'''''
36	* ManipulativeEditing: Fensler was able to take a kid passing out and turn it into ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNwxv6TgsuU a break dance]]''.
37	** Mildly crosses over with OverlyLongGag when Spirit tries to put out a fire on a child's jacket- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Day8cSKDSFw a little too hard]].
38	** Another clip [[spoiler:was reversed so it looked like a kid being forced into a refrigerator. In the original, the kid got trapped in the refrigerator and was rescued]].
39	* MachoCamp: Mr. [=LaFitte=] from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atXIKI2XHj4 Episode 22]] is a muscular, mustachioed man with a leather peaked cap, who speaks in a very effeminate manner and has a CutenessProximity moment upon seeing his daughter's playmates.
40	--> ''Look at all your different colored hats!''
41	* MindScrew: About half of them, from a man claiming to be a computer trying to convince a random kid to stop downloading things, to a soldier standing at the side of a kids soccer field repeating international news stories while ignoring the world around him, to a Joe appearing outside a house to sing reggae at a pair of kids (and one of the kids deciding to join him).
42	* MouthFlaps: Made fun of in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt_KfBaRWxs very first one]].
43	* OverlyLongGag: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_Sls1LzMI One, two, ............ three: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]]
44	** And then "GI Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
45	* {{Sampling}}: The speech that gets used for all of Spirit's dialogue? That's from Audio Fidelity Records' "Bible Reading in Cherokee." The same clip was also sampled at the end of "Strawberry" by Music/ButtholeSurfers, and in "Brocket 99."
46	* ShoutOut:
47	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ7d4JVB2Uc PSA #12]] to ''Sega Rally Championship'''s [[MemeticMutation infamous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09s-c2JVI40 Game Over screen]].
48	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy8FDjSGmwQ&list=PLCA768A2687CEE2EC #14]] has Wild Bill singing Arlo Guthrie's "The Motorcycle Song":
49	-->I just wanna ride my [[LargeHam MOOOOOOooooooooootorcicle!!]]
50	* SkewedPriorities:
51	** Snow Job's first impulse when seeing a group of children trying to save their friend who fell onto a frozen pond is to berate them for trespassing.
52	** A camper's reaction to Spirit saving his friend whose sleeve had caught fire? Ask if Spirit had stolen anything from their tents.
53	* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: [[https://youtu.be/kl5AVkelNV8 "Soccer news"]] dubs news broadcast-esque readings of unrelated tragedies for the Joe's dialogue [[note]]for the actual source, see StandardSnippet below[[/note]].
54	* SpoofAesop: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkamrqBLRlk PSA #17:]] If you play hooky, you'll be forced into a fridge by a stereotypical Australian man while he [[TheUnintelligible gibbers incomprehensibly]].
55	* StandardSnippet: The Joe's dialogue in "Soccer News" is the second segue from the album "Exodus" by the New Power Generation - and that same audio also appears in "Daily News" by Music/{{Chamillionaire}}, the episode "Ballad of the Fallen Angels" from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', the Music/SpinDoctors' song "What Time is it", in the track "Gift" in ''VideoGame/ShenmueII'', in Music/{{Megadeth}}'s song "The Scorpion", and in Music/JonathanCoulton's ''Shop Vac''.
56	* TheUnintelligible - Deep Six, due to his [[ShoutOut Buzz Lightyear]]-esque head dome.
57	** Also the firefighters in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNbGDfNurfI&list=PLCA768A2687CEE2EC #6]]
58	** The Australian man's dialogue in 17 rapidly turns into gibberish, though he talks normally at the beginning.
59	* WouldHurtAChild: Children are hurt quite often, and it's always hysterical.
60	** A kid is tackled by a soldier for [[DisproportionateRetribution getting tackled after catching a football.]]
61	** A kid falls off a cliff.
62	--> [[CurseCutShort SHIIIIII-!]]
63	** A kid is shoved into a fridge. One of those old ones that locks.
64	** Two kids are vaporized by a masked intruder during a house fire.
