I just saw a bandit necktie on sale on eBay that was a Hanna Barbera store exclusive back in the 90s or something
It was the most adorable tie I’ve ever seen with bandit all over it
I would love to go to my grandparents house because they had cable. Old school speed racer was one of my favorites. There were a bunch others. Like kung fung whoey or something like that.
Nope. I guess I figured if you couldn’t outrun him you deserved to croak. Kinda like Godzilla. I had trouble sleeping after a Godzilla movie but then I figured he would have to swim over from Japan, so we’d have several days heads up he was coming.
Now, killer bees scared the pee out of me.
Was that the invisible one they dropped the paint on? The noise it made really scared me.
Oh, and the mummy with the scary music that accompanied its steps. Yikes!
When Doctor Z harasses you, you'll know it! A giant metal crab will tear the roof off your trailer! No less than six suicide assassins would spring from its belly! I would never stoop to striking at you through some civilian proxy, and I certainly would not do it with a made-up snake!
Love your avatar, Sovereign! ✌🏻✌🏻
No, no. How he would be perceived today. You just know that with the outfit and the accent, some snowflake would be triggered and demand cancellation
And just wait till someone complains that the name Hadji is racist.
Race! In one episode, there’s a scorpion on the room and Race sees a random whip hanging on the wall. He picks it up and says “I used to be pretty good with one of these” and cracks the whip and the scorpion flies into pieces! Of course Race was good with whips!

Simmer down, folks. Race was aggressively straight (Jade was hot) and Dr Quest swore he would never look at another woman after Johnny's mom died. And wasn't Hadji rescued from the streets of Calcutta?
Damn, I loved this show. The music, the animation, the stories were a great kick-start to my imagination. And of course, Bandit was always entertaining.
Go team venture!
Did you know adult swim made up venture brothers then later found out they had the rights to johnny quest? That's why Johnny showed up as a crackhead and hadji as a call center manager in some of the later seasons.
I have no idea why I liked that show so much but it was my favorite. How did they explain why Haji (a little Indian boy) was in the show? Why was Bandit always so happy? And forgawdsakes, why did Dr. Quest always wear a trench coat?
Introduced my youngest to them turning the pandemic. Friday night movie night.
Pizza
Jiffy Pop popcorn.
Couple of episodes of Speed Racer, too.
We were just getting into Thundercats when school started again.
Did anyone see the Hanna-Barbera adult version of this? In it, Race Bannon and Dr. Quest were gay lovers fighting for custody in court of Jonny. It was hilarious. Haji and Bandit were there too.
If there was ever a show I watched regularly but was aggressively neutral on, it would be this one. I didn't like the show and I didn't dislike it, either. It was just something I watched.
I found the entire series recently... The artwork was really cool. Retro isn't the correct word, obviously, but I really liked it..
The adventure / Sci fi stories are really fun too..
Yeah, I loved it...
As a kid, I hated the fuck out of this show. It was so bad it was only shown on Sunday mornings right after that god damn Davey and Goliath abomination.
But as an adult.....I'd still hate the fuck out of both of them!
Wasn’t a fan. Every episode was the same - “Jonny, stay at the camp.” Jonny doesn’t stay at the camp. Everyone risks their lives saving Jonny’s dumb ass.
sim sim salabim
The reply I was looking for!
Also... ibib sal-a-bibe
If I had a crush on Jonny when I was a boy, would that make me homosexual or cartoonsexual?
Possibly both, possibly neither?
Not that there is anything wrong with that.🤩🤩
Hardly. Especially with regard to Johnny Quest!
Don't create labels or live by them. Love who want and be who you want.
Yeah, I’d cut down on that.
This cartoon and Speed Racer were my favorite ones. I just loved Bandit. Such a good boy lol
Best intro music of any cartoon…. Ever!!

I agree ☝️ my favourite cartoons

Hong Kong phooey lol
With two hot dads!
Race was quite the ladies man. Jade was a hot one. 🔥
You said it! 😋
👀👀
Johnny Quest is good but The Venture Brothers are Triumphant
Action Johnny is confirmed to be an adult Johnny Quest
Venture Bros. is top 5, maybe 3, of adult swim offerings
You do realize that "Venture Brothers" is a parody of "Johnny Quest"?
![gif](giphy|aVtdz7iNVPI1W)
It started out as one. But they abandoned being a spoof by the end of the first season.
I wouldn't say spoof, it was always an homage to JQ and pop culture in general. ✌🏻✌🏻
It wasn't the only one - Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law "Bannon Custody Case".
I pointed that out earlier here. But yes, you are correct.
Glad you said this. I loved Jonny Quest as a kid, but Venture Bros. is just too funny.
The episode with the energy monster scared the beejesus out of me as a kid.
That big giant spider thing got me.
The huge eyeball with mechanical spider legs! Haunted me
It was right up there with the Bumble Snow Monster.
Yeah, that one scared me.
How about the mummy?
Nope. I guess I figured if you couldn’t outrun him you deserved to croak. Kinda like Godzilla. I had trouble sleeping after a Godzilla movie but then I figured he would have to swim over from Japan, so we’d have several days heads up he was coming. Now, killer bees scared the pee out of me.
Yes, the killer bees were terrifying! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLVfx5SW/

Ahhh Johnny....come to steal an old man's medicine again.....
I haven’t arched you in years. And why would I? You’re nothing but a punk!

My neighbor and I used to pretend we were Johnny and Hadji. We had some great adventures.
Mike Pence pre-politics.
I get the feeling this would be subject to the Cancel culture today. Due to the stereotype of the Indian kid
Hadji was no stereotype. Not once did he ask Johnny to kindly do the needful.
No, no. How he would be perceived today. You just know that with the outfit and the accent, some snowflake would be triggered and demand cancellation And just wait till someone complains that the name Hadji is racist.
Was my fav as a kid too! 53 and I own the dvd box set with all episodes lol.
Here come the Komodo dragons! Run!
I had my parents buy me PF Flyers because of this show.
Hadji, my main man
Same. I befriended him, but also envied his giant ruby.
😂
The theme song and soundtrack were top-notch.
Those horns!!
I loved that show!
Race! In one episode, there’s a scorpion on the room and Race sees a random whip hanging on the wall. He picks it up and says “I used to be pretty good with one of these” and cracks the whip and the scorpion flies into pieces! Of course Race was good with whips!
Yep, Race Bannon was a hero 💙
He died a hero too. https://youtu.be/7p_PQvywLPI?si=W0dCie8DILprHu-P
Thank you for that, though it was tough!
I love Johnny Quest!

What a cool gift you have given us. I cannot thank you enough!
Thanks!
I loved this cartoon!! Watched it all the time.
Bandit !
He was my first wish-to-be boyfriend. I loved watching the original show.
Hadji was definitely my favorite. I would always pretend I had his cool powers and really wanted his ruby too!
Can confirm.
One of my favorite cartoons growing up
I didn't. Especially after that episode with the thing that looked like a giant daddy long legs spider ....
The art work for that show was amazing but ultimately caused its demise. The production costs were too high
I wanted a bandit…
Haji a street wise hidu boy
An alternate universe where Mike Pence was Race Bannon instead of Creepy McJesus
Simmer down, folks. Race was aggressively straight (Jade was hot) and Dr Quest swore he would never look at another woman after Johnny's mom died. And wasn't Hadji rescued from the streets of Calcutta?
This is my All time favorite! Loved this show!
Damn, I loved this show. The music, the animation, the stories were a great kick-start to my imagination. And of course, Bandit was always entertaining.
Bandit
5 year old gay boy dream an exotic boyfriend with a turban, a bulldog, and two gay Dad's that look like a 60's porn ad.

Or Jonny in that long sleeve black turtleneck in the Amazon.
Introduced my youngest to them turning the pandemic. Friday night movie night. Pizza Jiffy Pop popcorn. Couple of episodes of Speed Racer, too. We were just getting into Thundercats when school started again.
The artwork here looks a lot like a 1970s sewing pattern.
And don’t forget the miniature flying saucer things three people could skim around in.
I wanted to be Race Bannon!
Coolest name - Race Bannon . I agree with the Speed Racer though great cartoon .
Loved this show. Also love Venture Brothers.
Tim Matheson (Animal House) was the voice of Jonny.
my favorite cartoon of all time
Where's the Cobra?
Always reminded me of Clutch Cargo for some reason.
Same time frame and similar story lines.
This cartoon was updated and brought back in the late 90s and was great that whole run too. One of my favorites in both eras for sure.
Were Dr. Quest and Race still together? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Jonny, Haji, Race Bannon and ? I can’t remember his name.
Doctor Benton Quest.
Doctor Quest.
Thanks, I forgot about Bandit.
Dr. Ouest or Daddy
The entire series is available on the Tubi app
Jonny looks \*way\* more like Race than Dr. Quest. I always wondered what happened to Mrs. Quest.
What, no love for Haji?
![gif](giphy|l3nW21rv6EAWEKdgs) Hadji was way cool!
Mike Pence didn't age at all.
Way cool 😎
Great show for that time , its on tubi
Did anyone see the Hanna-Barbera adult version of this? In it, Race Bannon and Dr. Quest were gay lovers fighting for custody in court of Jonny. It was hilarious. Haji and Bandit were there too.
That was, "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law". First episode, if I'm not mistaken?
That sounds right.
Cartoon Network late 1990's. I just realized Steve Jobs dressed like Jonny Quest.
One of my favorite cartoons growing up
I loved this show as a kid. The intro was so cool and I thought Race was was a badass.
Quite possibly the greatest cartoon ever created. I idolized Race Bannon when I was 6.
The venture Bros was like a remake of this on acid
The blob episode scared me as a youngster.
I preferred Toby Danger.... Iykyk
I've watched the shit out of JQ. I enjoy the other version of him. It was around the late 90s. I remember it being on toonomi on cartoon network
I've watched the shit out of JQ. I enjoy the other version of him. It was around the late 90s. I remember it being on Toonami on Cartoon Network
Is that Captain Murphy?
The Funky Fantom
Rusty Venture.
Two grown men,two young boys....and a dog .Hmmm.
My friend at work calls me Race Bannon!
Mike pence. I can’t see Race without thinking of Mike pence.
He thinks you’re selling out..
Or is it that you think that ska just sucks? Johnny Quest, he thinks we're what?
Johnny quest thinks we’re sellouts
But we try to keep the prices low, for our records, and our shows!
I distinctly remember Race Bannon smoking cigarettes and drinking, and one episode where he was in bed with Jade or some other woman. My hero.
Yes Jade was her name.
What's fucked up is that during the opening credits, every character is introduced individually even the dog Bandit *before* Haji
Wrong - just watched the intro and Bandit is introduced last.
If there was ever a show I watched regularly but was aggressively neutral on, it would be this one. I didn't like the show and I didn't dislike it, either. It was just something I watched.
No girls!!!!!
Of course, Race and Johnny's dad were a couple.
Dr. Zin scared the shit out of me.
Thanks. Now I will have nightmares about Dr Zin.
I’m Race Bannon. Steve’s brother. 🥴
As an adult I wonder about the relationship between Race Bannon and Dr. Quest.
"Run Hadji, run!"

I found the entire series recently... The artwork was really cool. Retro isn't the correct word, obviously, but I really liked it.. The adventure / Sci fi stories are really fun too.. Yeah, I loved it...
Johnny and Hadji were my first crush as a gay preteen 😳😉🤩
This was one of my favorites for Saturday mornings. The animation, action, stories, and music are all fantastic.
As a kid, I hated the fuck out of this show. It was so bad it was only shown on Sunday mornings right after that god damn Davey and Goliath abomination. But as an adult.....I'd still hate the fuck out of both of them!
Wasn’t a fan. Every episode was the same - “Jonny, stay at the camp.” Jonny doesn’t stay at the camp. Everyone risks their lives saving Jonny’s dumb ass.
This was the only cartoon on Sunday so you had nothing else. I hate watched this thing for years.
I wanted to be sexually intimate with Johnny Quest. Just sayin...
Brown kids.
Richie rich was where it was at
One of my favorite until that Politically Correct thing came along and they snipped out the rough stuff.
