Cartoon Crushes May Special Edition
🕑 Added 2021-05-28 05:20:16 +0000 UTCOne of the most wonderfully messed-up episodes of the G.I. Joe cartoon was "Skeletons in the Closet", where Lady Jaye inherits an old Scottish castle, also the ancient home of Destro's family, the two ostensibly sharing ancestry. Lady Jaye wanders around the creepy castle in a flimsy nightgown and gets lowered into a well, home to some "old ones" monster worshiped by a cult of Destro's mask-wearing buds. The whole place ends up blown to hell and apparently this whole cluster-fudge was set in motion by the Baroness, pissed off at Destro for acting flirty to women who weren't her.
You know, typical stuff for a kids' cartoon made to sell toys.

What's really delightful of that episode is not only that there's a really fun, creepy "Old One" in residence.. (( to those of use who RPG'ed the original D&D first ed. hard covers and such.. that still had the Cthulhu mythos in the "gods and demigods" book... OH YEA. this cartoon was MASSIVE RPG FUEL! )) but at the end of the cartoon, when Destro is walking around the ruins of his family castle.. and says " AND TO THINK I actually thought I was related to a Joe.." ( where has the baroness, who brought the conflict between cobra and joe there deliberately to make destro "pay for his infidelity" to her.. because he even LOOKED at another woman..) as she snaps; " I CHECKED the records "Destro darling".. AND YOU ARE!! "
