One of the best episodes ever was 'the Viper is Coming' which was a full episode based on a running gag of a bad European accent.
Yeah, you're right. Shipwreck and Roadblock both cracked jokes. Roadblock did it in rhyme, and Shipwreck did it with bad jokes using Polly as his sidekick. Ripcord even cracked jokes... Except Ripcord wasn't black.
And "the Viper is Coming" is not "one of the best episodes ever"

And plenty of movies have comic moments without being a sequel to 'Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.", which was honestly one of the most racist things I've read all day Barefoot Jedi.
Also you seem to have trouble separating funny humor from corny humor.

Oh and I know, alot of you hate the cartoon and were comics fans only. Problem is most people know Joe from the cartoon not the comics. Maybe not fanboys on message boards, but society as a whole thats the Joe they know. The wisecracking, sometimes funny version.
I disagree completely. The cartoon ran for a few years and was continually modified. The comic on the other hand not only ran for years, but was eventually used as the basis for the continuity in not only the second comic introduction by image, but also the file cards for all the Joes released since the new sculpts.
Your comment is completely off base. In fact, did they even reproduce the cartoon for a DVD release? They reproduced the comics multiple times, including a large special edition with multiple issues repro'ed in them.
