![]() Jem’s being a little sh*tty to the Will Arnett-sounding GI Joe in their commercial, but his rendition of “Fa La La Love” has its charm, at least. ![]() How about Gumby and Pokey? The talking horse and whatever the f*ck Gumby is are exploring the wonders of a living room while adorably singing “Whatever Comes 2 Mind” in their commercial. How can we resist the sight of Skeletor and He-Man cavorting in the facsimle snow while singing a Christmas carol called “Jingle Bros” about their burgeoning bro-mance? ![]() That’s why they’ve rolled out three competing commercials featuring toys that will be instantly recognizeable to anyone in your (and my) age-range. You’re an adult, and Honda knows this and they know that the one thing that all adults crave is to be a child again. That means that you probably have a job and you might even have some disposable income. ![]() Like it or not, if you grew up in the 80s, you’re likely now in your early-to-mid thirties. Explains a lot, huh? But at least, in the end, we know Skeletor became a happier, more open-minded, and centered individual. Michael Stracyznski fondly recalls ignoring everything the sponsors and the psychologists they hired told them and Paul Dini admits that the staff took full advantage of the fact that nobody cared what the writers put together as long as it arrived on time. Now the Parent’s Television Council would coordinate an angry letter-writing campaign that the word makes them think of breasts, and won’t somebody think of the whiny people who probably don’t even have children?Īs for why Skeletor was so insult-happy, although tidbits are hard to find about the show, we do know that behind the scenes, it was a rather bizarre affair. It’s kind of funny that Skeletor could basically call everybody a “boob” in the ’80s. ![]() He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe is a strange show to revisit for many reasons, but not the least of them is the fact that clearly, the writing staff had a “Skeletor Insult Generator.” No, really, watch this supercut found by Kotaku and see if you disagree. ![]()
