    Roadblock was always awesome when he spoke in rhyme. Especially in the movie when he had to carry Cobra Commander out of Cobra La.
    "We got a bargain. But play it safe or there's no doubt, I'll turn your eye balls inside out!"

    Roadblock's voice actor Kenneth "Kene" Holliday was also known as PI Tyler Hudson on Matlock.

    During my first four college semesters I wrote a paper on "the danger of falling power lines". This pertaining to the danger of power lines being mentioned here in this footage about Roadblock. Terrill TC!

    FINALLY my man ROADBLOCK!!!
    You glossed over how General Hawk and the other general reached the decision to have Roadblock escape because RB was the one Joe all the others would trust. RB's character was impeachable.

    I always liked Roadblock, but never knew the love of cooking stuff, that's actually pretty cool. My great uncle was actually a navy cook and always made really good food. In fact his son worked as a baker in Walmart before becoming the stores manager, had even been transferred to the main offices.

    One of the most iconic Joes, alongside Duke, Scarlet and Snake Eyes.
    I remember the episode where the Joes had to protect the Queen of England and he impressed her with his cooking knowledge.

    Roadblock is essential to my love for GI Joe. The cartoon was a clever use and instantly recognized. His figures were very cool. The Joe with the biggest gun was unstoppable.

    Hated Roadblock's rhyme talk and in G. I. Joe #78, readers are expected to believe he can LEAD a mission? Stalker & Lady J would've been more credible, same in G. I. Joe: The Movie.
