Larry Houston here --- I'm glad everyone liked the GI Joe Movie Intro I did. It was fun to design and draw. What most people don't know is that I made it all up from my imagination, no script, and directed it. My years of working on the syndicated TV series gave me the insight to create a lot of fun shots and keep the adventure pacing high.
That's amazing! Its such a fun series as a kid, and even looking back. Rewatching it recently, I was inspired to try and write up a G.I. Joe Reboot for the current day. No agent though, so Hasbro wont hear me out.
"Militarily speaking of course, I can only say that Cobra Commander is a world-class...buffoon." - Destro, in this very movie. 😂 Where's the lie? Ordered a seige of Liberty Island by air drop and sea with zero air support which is why the x-38s dunk on Cobra's navy here. Set the bomb in plain sight and to 3 mins instead of one, presumably to make sure he was well out of dodge before it blew.
Enclave Trooper Funny you should say that. Inspired by the way the world is going down the drain right now and Cobra Commander's origin of a disgruntled, disillusioned used car salesman who starts travelling the US and gathers a following of like-minded people to get back at the government that let them down (so not the dumb Cobra-Commander-is-actually-a member-of-an-underground-reptilian-race...) i am thinking of actually starting a real-life Cobra. We would be like Anonymous, only with cooler masks and costumes (with LOTS of Cobra logo's off course!), and we would actually DO things instead of just posting empty threats and lame conspiracy theories on UA-cam. The real Cobra wants YOU! If this comment gets enough likes, we won't stop until our organization coils around the whole world like a giant cobra! COBRAAAAAAA!
+Remc0 Schedel hey, as long as you get some Baroness for all the cobra brothers, it will work just fine :D i mean, really, everyone was in just for her....big personality :D
I'm 44 the 11th of November I remember watching this is a kid and I remember when this new theme song came out unbelievable I never imagined I could look back in the past one day but it's a great thing
+UnwantedStudios3 I don't know, as a primarily Transformers fan I thought "The Rise Of Cobra" was okay and "Retaliation" didn't seem too bad but that's just me.
The Joes will be poisoned by the venom of defeat, and watch helplessly, as our legions march through the capital of every city, and cast a blue shadow of our banners over all the skylines of every city on the globe.
sunac If real world evils were like cartoon evils everyone would be happier... Hero guy: "Dudes, Its not persecution season... Its Duck season!" ISIS: "Oh... Our bad, DEATH TO DUCKS!!!"
I won't lie. I watched GI Joe mostly for cobra. Despite the fact that they were portrayed as the inept losers I still found most of their Characters to be cooler looking than the joes, and as a kid that alone would sell you
Good thing that the G.I. Joe protagonist ass kicking was cut out from this. I hate those average Joes. Cobras are about unity and might of organisation as antagonist usually are. You hear cobra commander shout "Cobra retreat" to minimize suffering of the people, in stead of shouting "fight for the flag" (is to say "fight for me"). Antagonist are thinkers that build and protagonists are only there to destroy. As it is said Cobra wants to unite the world (or "take over the world"). Unity!
😅I’ve been looking for this song for years, I swear when I was a kid I always rooted for COBRA and the Cobra Commander over the Joe’s lol! “COBRAAAAAAAAAAA” lol!
Never heard the full song only the snippet when aired back 86-87?? Cant wait to remake oh, Hasbro youtube channel playing all episodes on an ongoing looping stream go check it, I'm watching it now. 1/24/2021
This theme made you become team cobra they literally stoled the thunder from GI Joe being good was out the window, Cobra Kai should use this theme for their intro for the next tournament
In the movie the Blue Cobra's are only really seen doing like mechanic work while the Vipers are the regular foot soldiers but in the show the blue were the main soldiers and red were the body guards and elite troops
Rewatching the show as an adult makes me realize how little sense the cartoon Cobra made sense. Why does the Commander have so many soldiers. Clearly even if he's paying them they can't do much with the money they're terrorists. Besides world domination which they fail at every time they don't have a goal like most terrorists have that brings in new recruits. There's only so many pissed off people that would say "Ya I'll join an army universally hated just to stick it to the world." All of that seems solved when Cobra Commander actually founds a cult in the comics. Having him be incredibly charismatic rather than a bumbling fool, or at least doing both would have been awesome. Granted cults in an 80s cartoon would not have gone well. Either way still tied with Transformers, TMNT, and Scooby Doo as my favorite cartoons growing up and still fun to watch now.

You made a lot of kids happy and many will return to this. Even if the subject is serious, its still a return to innocence
Larry, the framing and composition here is near-unparalleled. One could pause any frame and hang it on a wall. Truly a special piece.
It's timeless. amazing now in 2022.
Thank you for this gift to the world

Or he's having an orgasm

Cobra offers; competitive health, and retirement benefits, and a $40,000 sign on bonus.
GI Joe: opposed to medicare for all, common sense gun laws and women's right to choose.
Cobra: where do I sign?

The most well funded, technologically advanced, yet tactically inept paramilitary force to ever exist.
Lies and slander. You will be reported to Cobra Commander for your insubordination.

Pretty sure it’s cobra commander
@@Krieger-productions6149 of course that’s me you fool!
@@cobracommander6462 hey
It was really considerate of Cobra to include Gi Joe beating them into their theme song.
They wanted it to feel authentic.
Best hook ever....
COBRA.....COBRAAAAAAA....COBRAAAAAA.....COBRAAAAAA !!!!
I used to sing this heavy when I was a kid...
Dwayne Davis I have an annoying neighbour and I caught myself cursing his name in this melody.
Dwayne Davis and why did you stop lol?
I wanted to join Cobra when I grew up ✌️😁
COBRA RETREAT!!!!!!
ONNNNNNN GAAAAAWWWWDDD
For the people mentioning the "Cobra!" guy, when you work with cheese, you go all in. That's what makes it so great.
eveyone yells out COBRAAAAAAA!!! who ever is yelling that is the REAL MVP 😂
Cobra, employing the homeless and protecting the world! Enlist today!

This might be one of THEEE hardest intros of cartoons ever made, and years later I'm still jamming to it!
Same here ! And it's the villains intro 🤘🏾😎 slaps too hard 😁
Grear movie, and the opening of the movie where the person breaks into Cobras base was epic!
@@josephharden5592 it’s too good!
@@lliaolsen728 oh yeah I forgot about that I’m going to have to rewatch the movies, thanks for reminding me.

Teacher: Alright class we will be studying about cobras!
Girls: Ew snakes.
Boys:
Thumbs up if your were a kid and cheered for Cobra
It only took over a decade for someone to realize the we liked the bad guys more than the good. Enter the NWO🤘🏼4LIFE
Cooooooobra!!!!!!
I always loved Commander Cobra's silver mask as a kid.
Hail Cobra
@@jaygravy1681 🌧️ ❄️ 🐍
Cobra Commander is one hell of a leader to go in the fight himself and plant the bomb, he got some big Cobra balls
Yeah....me thinks Serpentor forced him to with the hope that Cobra Commander didnt come back.
this is bad ass
Wasn't there a cartoon plot arc where Set took over and Cobra Commander was mutated into a literal snake?
this clip was better than both of the live action movies
You said it.
+UnwantedStudios3 I don't know, as a primarily Transformers fan I thought "The Rise Of Cobra" was okay and "Retaliation" didn't seem too bad but that's just me.
Wait... there were 2?
“Rise of Cobra” was amazing, but “GI Joe: Retaliation” *SUCKED ASS.* I hope the third was will be way better than the second one.
This song is still sick
What's terrifying about the invasion is the the first thing you see is a dude's taint coming at you.
This was my thought also. These guys are brave enough to come at us balls-first, they must be crazy
While screaming "CoBRRRRAAAA!!"
Say it loudly! Say it proudly! COOOOOOBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TerryB01 COBRA!! COBRA!! COBRA!! COBRA!!
or HAAAMMAAASSS
my fellow cobra enthusiasts.... its time to come together and create the worlds first real cobra...who is with me???
would be the strangest terrorist organization ever, because they'd never actually kill anyone.
mightbegenius I'm with you, my comrade! COBRA!
The time has come for the serpent to rise up and rear it's head, so it may coil around the globe and constrict it into submission.
desamator11 COBRA!
The Joes will be poisoned by the venom of defeat, and watch helplessly, as our legions march through the capital of every city, and cast a blue shadow of our banners over all the skylines of every city on the globe.
ISIS could take notes from Cobra on style.
sunac If real world evils were like cartoon evils everyone would be happier... Hero guy: "Dudes, Its not persecution season... Its Duck season!" ISIS: "Oh... Our bad, DEATH TO DUCKS!!!"
sunac They need to make a Weather Dominator to truly be considered a threat.
***** Or perhaps an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator! I would be Freakin Terrified of an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator!
You would think ISIS would be like Egyptian themed pharaoh outfits or something!
They could also take notes from Hydra.
>you will never parachute into a party being held at the Statue of Liberty with your Cobra bros
Feels bad man
I love this soundtrack.
how does all this warfare (shooting, explosions) happen in GI Joe and no one ever dies
Ricky Moss its because everyone shoots like a stormtrooper from star wars
Ask the A-Team. Same deal.
they always seem to be able to hit the robots just fine
On Gawd ❗
80s Television standards
Love this song, makes me want to join Cobra.
💯💯
Me too when The Galactic Empire The First and Final Order and Decepticons falls I join Cobra.
I won't lie. I watched GI Joe mostly for cobra. Despite the fact that they were portrayed as the inept losers I still found most of their Characters to be cooler looking than the joes, and as a kid that alone would sell you
Cobraaaaa! that song is legendary! i always rooted for Cobra commander haha
Cobra commander is a badass …
And Now they would be back after long time!! Cobraaaa!!
COB-RAAAAHH
This went harder than the actual G.I. Joe theme
0:40 You've just been tea bagged by COBRA!!!
Cobra must rise now and rule the world. COBRA
Good thing that the G.I. Joe protagonist ass kicking was cut out from this. I hate those average Joes. Cobras are about unity and might of organisation as antagonist usually are.

The best theme they had
LOL hilarious I just happen to find this while wearing my Cobra Commander T-shirt! Cobra!!!!!!
Robert OHara I don't get it.
Bad guys and loving it.
I love the "Cobraaaaa!" Part.
Cobra gave the First animated T-Bag before T-bagging was a thing. Awesome Video!!!
Ya know everyone talks bout Cobra being evil but they're covering my Healthcare after my job laid me off...
Thumbs up for Cobra Commander! Cobra La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
80's 90's era went all the way in on everything. This track is ruthless
I don’t kids now these days will never understand the magnitude & power of Cobra ! They didn’t f around GO JOE 😭😎
Hardest 80's theme ever!!
I almost forgot about this until OSW review episode 57 reminded me and brought me here!
JOB BER!JOB BER!
JosephDiEgidio LOL!
fook me, I'm hear because of that to
Surge-Cess Right on!

I always loved Cobra.........despite my fear of snakes.

I listen thisss sssoundtrack every day.
I always found Baroness to be quite an unpredictable type out of all the other cobra dudes
cobraaaa...kooBRAAAAAAA!!
Can you feel the funk?
The best GI Joe intro.
Cobra's theme song was wayy better
You know you had a lit intro when you parachute down and punch the camera out in excitement
😒😂😎🤘🏾
😅I’ve been looking for this song for years, I swear when I was a kid I always rooted for COBRA and the Cobra Commander over the Joe’s lol! “COBRAAAAAAAAAAA” lol!
Would love a loop of the guy SHOUTING COBRA!!!
too much memories 😔
The very best!
That opening tho - Imma right ?
"Hey, we're under attack !"
me: "oh cool, balloons."
Never heard the full song only the snippet when aired back 86-87?? Cant wait to remake oh, Hasbro youtube channel playing all episodes on an ongoing looping stream go check it, I'm watching it now. 1/24/2021
COOOOOOBRAAAAAA!!!!
The baddest theme song
Cooler vehicles cooler characters.. cooler theme.. cobra just outclassed Joe
This theme made you become team cobra they literally stoled the thunder from GI Joe being good was out the window, Cobra Kai should use this theme for their intro for the next tournament
I think these are the good guys
I hear the EVIL call. Cobra!
Damn only 15 and after a VCH faze I’m so happy I found this hidden gem on a tape
I've been searching for this song for years!!
so much better than the crap that passes off as pop music I hear today
This is SO HARD!!! LOVE THIS ONE!!!!
Cobraaaaa!!!
love the 80's music! so great
much better than g.i.joes
thumps up if you agree
So awsome !!!
In the movie the Blue Cobra's are only really seen doing like mechanic work while the Vipers are the regular foot soldiers but in the show the blue were the main soldiers and red were the body guards and elite troops
The elite soldiers, would probably be Destro's Iron Grenadiers.
Cobra song dope!
Even as a kid, I always rooted for the bad guy in the movies.
I'm not crying you're crying
Yep!
classic!!!!
Hail Cobra!
MyWoWadventures HAIL, COBRA COMMANDER!
COBRAAAAAA
COOOBRAAA!
Crimson Guard!!!
I hear they have a great medical benefit plan...
Sphinx!
Oddest combo of badass and dorky
Best part of the movie
COBRA!!!!!!
Your mind body and soul belong to Cobra
It sounds like the Baroness and Chris Latta singing.
fuck this brings me Back had this on tape
So delightfully villainous!
I hear Starscream COBRAAAA!
This song is so 🔥🔥🔥
Cobra! Lalalalalala!
