Yeah. Good luck trying to prove there are more than five mediocre episodes in the classic age. Even my least favorite episodes from that era have memorable moments.
And the ones he picked here? :lol Half of them are classic. Lisa vs Malibu Stacy is one of the most underrated eps ever. Just watched it a few days ago and the moment where G.I Joe busts into Stacy's house gets me in stitches. every. ****ing. time.
Stacy exhales smoke and smashes her drink into the fire. "All right,
we'll make your doll." But there's a knock at the door.
Joe: Stacy, please, I must have you back. Just come for a ride with me in my Mobile Command Unit[tm].
Stacy: Joe, I told you, it's over. Release me from your Kung-Fu Grip[tm].
Joe: Fine. I'll bomb your house into the ground, missy.
The delivery on that list line is just perfect.
