There's a blast from that past.

"i want the ball!"

I thought I'd expound on my post cuz I'm bored and I'm avoiding working.

I remember that one to grow on thing from Saturday morning cartoons back when cartoons were good. they usually had some lame ass life lesson in there. I don't remember many of them. I do think there was one involving bullies and someone was hiding in a tree. or maybe I have that one totally fucked up. I do remember, though, that when it started there was an animated thing to set it all up. There was a part where a boy and girl are fighting over a ball and you hear "I want the ball." I'll find myself saying that every once in a while but am always faced with an audience who has no idea why I said that in such a whiney voice.

i should have known that the Canadian bobaloo would be familiar with such an obscure part of my childhood that just won't let go of my conscious mind.

Those cartoons must have never made their way to Australian shores

the one to grow on segments were not really cartoon shows. They were just thrown in during a commercial break here and there. the entire segment probably lasted about 1 minute.

While I'm at it, here's a link

One to grow on

Two great lines from that one...

1) believe me, I know... but not from experience
2) act smart, don't start.

Ahh I see, still...... never heard of em.

We had Life Be In It now that was funny

I edited my post and you missed it. Look up two posts for the link.

so lame they are funny, i searched for some Life Be In It commercials on YouTube but found none

LMAO, I know, but not from experience... then how do you know? I love how the girl stands up for herself and all of a sudden the 2 smoking girls reflect on their actions haha, as if that happens in reality!

Well, it's possible in the wonderful, magical reality of saturday morning cartoons.

Unfortunatley Sat morn cartoons have all but died here thanks to Nickelodeon, DIsney, The Cartoon Network, FOX

Well, that and the completely inferior quality of the available programming.

Like I've said before, I remember more about the 80s than I do about last week. Something about excessive alcohol consumption.
Pay's remark reminded me of some PSA I couldn't quite put my finger on at first. Then I thought "One to Grown On"!



Watching that opening clip flooded my nostalgic senses. I totally remember that weird montage of vacuum to ice cream sundae to pig faced kid.

Gotta love Tootie there with her great mullet.

That first one is a hilarious line. Whay does that even mean?


haha exactly. In real life it the other two probably would have said, "Now let's go get wasted out in the parking lot". Well that's what I would have said.


Sad but true. There is no need for Sat. Morning Cartoons anymore since cartoons are on 24 hours a day.



I was at the library and saw Battle of the Planets on dvd and my eyes almost popped out of my head. I used to LOVE that show. I think it had some other name in Japan and even a second name in North America, but usually no one knows what I'm talking about. When I was checking it out, they asked, "Oh is this for your son(who was with me). I said, "Uhhhh, yeaaaah".

Wow Gnappy longest post ever!!!

I agree, i was never a smoker but if i was pushing some kid like those girls and she gave me this spiel i'd be like, so u wanna smoke some blunt?

the above discussion was moved here, enjoy

This could turn into the longest thread ever

I heartily endorse this thread or topic

We've been censored

That reminds me of Iggy!

Just a brief reminder...

It was a crime to censor THOSE

Ditto!
