comment
Once upon a time, back when the Internet as we know it was still in diapers, a madman named Eric Fensler took 25 old public service announcements from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon and turned them into subversive comedy genius. Needless to say, they went memetic.All of them can be viewed on this YouTube channel. Alternatively, Jose the Bronx Rican created and released a DVD "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.

Skewed Priorities: 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. A camper's reaction to Spirit saving his friend whose sleeve had caught fire? Ask if Spirit had stolen anything from their tents.

comment
Would Hurt a Child: Children are hurt quite often, and it's always hysterical. A kid is tackled by a soldier for getting tackled after catching a football. A kid falls off a cliff. A kid is shoved into a fridge. One of those old ones that locks. Two kids are vaporized by a masked intruder during a house fire.

Manipulative Editing: Fensler was able to take a kid passing out and turn it into a break dance. Mildly crosses over with Overly Long Gag when Spirit tries to put out a fire on a child's jacket- a little too hard. Another clip 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.
