Irving and his Super Friends Season 1 Episode 3: Professor Goodfellow's G E E C
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Professor Goodfellow has invented the Goodfellow's Effort Elimination Computer, G.E.E.C. It does every possible task so humans don't have anything to do except sit around and watch television. Some of the Super Friends don't think that's a good idea, especially if something should go wrong with the computer.

Wendy, if you want a mouse as a pet, buy one from a pet store.
A mouse running around in a building is a disease carrier.
The original Plastic Man was a lot darker. I remember one story where Eel O'Brien admonished his confederates when they told him about Plastic Man with "Sounds to me like you boys have been hitting the pipe!"
Wendy and Marvin must have missed the school presentations on “stranger danger”.
They didn't get into the van, but they did go to the building. If the professor was evil, he could have grabbed them anyways.
The best episode of the Wendy/Marvin/Wonder Dog era of Super Friends.
I agree... Circle gets the square.
"You can call him Megabyte", Oy gevalt.
Seeing this in the age of artificial intelligence really is a trip.
In real life ,we have(at least in los angeles) we have robotic carts that can deliver food. In one news report, we have a robot police dog(no lie). You can create a Virtual Girlfriend online so this episode seriously told us about the future. And don't forget about self drivable cars....and Don't forget the "Plastic Man Comedy and Adventure Show" Saturday Morning series from thr Early 80's
This was always my favorite episode as a kid. Maybe because it actually had a guest star (even if it was only Plastic Man, who wasn't a JLA member, later they got Flash and Green Arrow to redeem themselves).
I remember watching this when it first aired. For a moment, I was sure they were going to call on the Atom. But Plastic Man was a good choice, too.
When you said test pilot, for a moment, I thought it was Hal Jordan, but he comes later. No lantern, just yet.
Really glad that you're doing this show. I watch your other reviews, and they are a treat. And this show, for a diehard DC fan, is a nostalgic curiosity, I'd say. It's goofy, right in the midst of the comics code authority's power, and season one, especially, was strange, before they started adding villains, like Joker, Captain Cold, Grundy, Darkseid, Bizarro, and many more. Just the greatest heroes, in the world, responding to things, around the world. Thinking on it, it makes sense, as a warm up, for the Legion of Doom, and Darkseid. Just folks, getting together, to do some good.
Also, I wonder if a coworker of mine, has ADD. He talks about boredom, quite a bit. Just recently, we had an easy night, at work, for a change. I welcomed it. I could take my time, no stress, plus it's unusual. He was steadily looking for other stuff to do, besides what we're contracted to. Additional tasks, and whatnot, stuff we're not responsible for, instead of, for once, taking it easy and just finishing our jobs and heading out. I get more than enough excitement. An easy night at work is great. Well, not as hard. He was going out of his mind.
In the comic books, sometimes the writers use initials in the speech balloons to save space.
It is ridiculous to hear Plastic Man and Superman calling each other "P.M." and "S.M."
If anything, Plas would have called Superman "Supes", as was often done in the comics but never on the show to my recollection.
And they would have called Plastic Man Plas, as you did and as they did in the comics.
Sounds like two executives discussing business...
"What is your intake regarding the synergy performance meeting, J.B.?"
"Moving the needle, H.L."
Does this mean that a conversation between Aquaman and Plastic Man, they'd be calling each other, "A.M." and P.M."? All the other Super Friends would be asking, "What time is it?"
@@Buzz-McCool "What time is it?"
Time to go to the convenience store?
Though the Justice League made valid points with responding to what Wendy said, they all ironically missed the other equally important points of what she was implying with her words, namely, that humans are social creatures by default (despite how many anime/manga say otherwise on the matter, let alone real life societies, both in the East, AND in the West), and that machines cannot ever replicate the social needs, nonverbal cues, implied cues, and general social cues that are the legerdemain of humans. Also, when people need to ask questions to G.E.E.C., as, like real life AI systems, G.E.E.C. fails to understand the more subtle nuances of human behavior, let alone can answer more complicated, and/or obscure, questions, or even do so in satisfactory ways.
and look what we have now?
The cartoon dated itself by mentioning NY Mets player Bud Harrelson, who passed away back this January at the age of 79.
I seem to recall an episode in which Joe Namath was mentioned, too.
Why oh why did the mouse walk over to Plastic Man’s hand like a human boarding a cruise ship 🛳️??😂😂
7:49 Yeah, and she's pointing out SHE'S the REAL GEEK!😮😅🤓😎✌🏻
I remember Seanbaby saying Marvin wore a cape to hide the fact he used his shirt tail for TP
Plastic Man sounds a lot like Aquaman, which is not surprising since both were voiced by Norman Alden. This version of Plastic Man was not wacky at all. The 1979 Ruby-Spears cartoon is closer to the comics than the Hanna-Barbera Super Friends version.
Alden played the Professor on "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl", too.
Wow! This episode had access to the future! It should be made mandatory viewing for Musk and his contemporaries. Nothing about hacking though (like how to access and control machines say in other er, places....🤔). Great review! Even played it out with the theme from the Great Escape!
.... Oh yeah. The satellite might have burned up in reentry but if Goodfellow could control the batmobile he might have figured out how to take care of that, though impact with ocean.....
Need to stop overthinking.
Yes, milord, Pat O'Brien, er, um Plastic Man had to be comedy relief. He OP to the max. Recently revealed in the comics was that Bruce considered him the most dangerous of the bunch (if he ever lost the silly) ....and that's freakin' Bruce! Nsh, had to be comedy. Reed Richards on steroids.
I honestly had no idea who those teens and the dog were of the super friends, it was quite strange that they never showed up again after this series.
They were created to give viewers someone of their own age (at least, the target demographic) that the heroes could explain things too, and who usually solved the case. Eventually the comics gave them "backstories" in a text page. Wendy was the daughter of the man that taught Bruce Wayne how to be a detective, Marvin was the son of Diana White, aka the original Diana Prince, whose credentials Wonder Woman bought back in WW2 (pre-Crisis).
Actually, there was a Super Friends comic series that DC had, along with another take of them in DC as well.
14:07...I think that's Casey Kaseem singing! And having a ball doing it!
5:06 Hey Irving! Look behind you! There is a ghost👻 rocking your Captain America shield! I know because I've seen them onnFb reels! 🤓😎✌🏻
Well the self driving taxi cab did run over someone.
I don’t know how the GEEC is making bicycles move on their own.
Berl Ives, scientist extrodenare
At the airfield, Hal Jordan uses his ring to wring out a neat new jet. Everything else started at the same time as pure coincidence. 😂 When the Super Friends got involved, he ducked back out to the remains of the Superman Batman Hour.
I love that the theme is well intentioned scientists and the consequences of their inventions.
As soon as I saw GEEC, I knew Plastic Man was coming. He was much more in character for a two season series which featured Plastic Baby in the second season. But still, it was good getting a guest star for the episode.
@@Skaramine , something that the people that run mega-corporations, and political activists, would ALL do well to understand in their lives.
What is scary the world is heading this way. Machines are taking over and we are welcoming them. Pretty prolific episode for a Saturday morning fare. I like how the Super Friends were concerned about the life of a simple mouse. Most people will consider it a pest and let it die, just as long as they can get out of the machinery.
So my question is: Why not simply use these new-fangled machines to deal with the more serious problems and things nobody wants to talk about or deal with, so everyone else can worry less about food, housing, etc. and focus on things like hobbies and passion projects?
What's with the shield top left corner? Is this a clock pendulum?
Yes.
If you chose to oppose the wiggling shield, you have no choice. You must yield.
I thought that the batmobile was a two seater?😁
4:30 Colonel Sanders had a brother?😮. 🤓😎✌🏻
😎
A scientist using his invention to benefit makind even if misguided in a superhero show?
What is this, the twilight zone?
I'm a drawer
Ohh we know this is a fictional series because because they never once brought up the actual problem that requires the geek to be a real bad thing money and power and I mean by electrical power how much battery power does the geek functionally need to use? Are you going to charge for your service or are you going to make it for free how are you going to make sure that these people still get the food that exists because the geek has to make that food![that said the subscription service to take breaks would be a good thing especially in a society where we do not like vacations because the business{thinking us mindless machines} class doesn't still understand that people are people]
10:47 Sorry but i thought it was corny when i WAS seven🤷🏼♂️
This episode was soooo forward-thinking. (Unfortunately!)
And your blooper reel reminded me that about this time Ted Knight did a talk show (Mike Douglas I think) and played a recording of his trying (and failing) to pronounce "Sea Anemone" for this show's narration! Hilarious!
You talked to much
He talks to many, not to much.
