* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Scarlett, as the main female Joe, has this: OfficialCouple status either with Duke in the cartoon or with Snake-Eyes in the comics, Clutch tried to hit on her in the comics, just like Tunnel Rat in the Sigma 6 cartoon and Ripcord in the live-action movie. Her interaction with Zartan in the TV episode "The Gamemaster" looks almost flirtatious. And there's even people who pair her with [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Bumblebee]] due to them teaming-up in the many crossovers.

** The Baroness despite being loyal to Destro in most continuities is someone that is frequently paired with other characters like Cobra Commander, Serpentor, or Storm Shadow. She's also been paired with other characters like Duke in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra.'' She even had a child with Cobra Commander in ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe'' who turned out to be Serpentor!



* UnintentionallySympathetic:
** Cobra Commander, like most villains of 80s cartoons, is just so hapless and clumsy and riddled with bad luck and loses so often in a humiliating fashion that sometimes you just can't help feeling bad for him.
** While the comic version of Cobra Commander was far more ruthless and successful than his cartoon counterpart, much of his rhetoric about wealth disparity and the death of the American Dream can be surprisingly poignant as focus on those issues become increasingly prevalent in society.

* NightmareFuel:
** The episode "There's No Place Like Springfield" will give anyone nightmares for a week. As will the one with the giant shrieking underwater worms.
** The episode where a rich, old woman wanted a younger woman's face transplanted onto her through some crazy machine. In the end the Joes manage to stop it, but the old woman is left as TheBlank.
** The two-part episode "Worlds Without End", in which some of the Joes are transported to an [[AlternateUniverse alternate dimension]] [[VillainWorld where Cobra has conquered the world]]. The characters end up [[spoiler: stumbling over the skeletal remains of the Joes of that world, including their own counterparts.]]
** In the episode with Mindbender's dream-projector, "Nightmare Assault", Lowlight's own nightmare about the junkyard rats is ''much'' scarier than anything the villain devises, the moreso in that it enacts an actual [[AbusiveParents childhood trauma]]. Mainframe's dream that he's [[BodyHorror turning into an android]] is nasty too, albeit very brief. Then there's Hawk's nightmare where all his friends' vehicles blow up and they ''don't'' parachute out. Hawk parachutes out... then finds that he's falling into the mouth of a cobra the size of a building.
** And then there's Cobra Commander's spore-induced degeneration into a snake in the movie. Before it's over, all he can say is "Onssssssse a man..." And Cobra-La plans to do that to ''the entire human race''.
