Cartoon Network had this segment where you could call the station and Johnny Bravo would play a cartoon you requested on Sundays. I remember seeing it a few times. Famously, an episode featured Johnny Bravo fast-forwarding through a DBZ episode to fit it into the time slot.
It needs to be said that this is legendary, this is a personal white whale, I've been wanting to see this for years. My notifications were explosive when I woke up because everyone I know had to tell me. I've been saying for years that if I ever get terminally ill I would start cashing in favors with friends to start a viral grassroots movement to get the Johnny Bravo DBZ commentary released because I needed to see this before I die.
And now I have. There's been a six second clip of it floating around for a long while now and the full commentary is, surprisingly, only a few seconds longer than this. But it was never about the length. We knew he was fast-forwarding the episode. I just really, really needed to hear Johnny Bravo say "Goku" and "Frieza." I needed to hear it with my own ears. I'm content. I feel like I can die happy.
We apparently owe it all to "someone's mom who worked on this show." A Mother's Day gift FROM a mom is a fucked up thing to receive.
Now if I get to make a wish with the Make-a-Wish Foundation it's gonna have to be for the F-Zero GX cutscene songs.
it is depressing and kind of terrifying to think about how much media from just a couple decades ago is probably lost forever. things i can still remember with crystal clarity, things i feel like i watched yesterday, just... gone. there are so many shitty VHS rips on YouTube that may very well be the last existing copy of their respective media
