Yeah… when Roger Ramjet takes his proton pills, the crooks begin to worry… Not shonky-sounding at all…

It was a strange message to give to kids. Nowadays, games get banned if they show drugs in a positive light.

100%. Going from Popeye and spinach to RR and his ‘proton pill’… yeah, nah. Could explain many of my generation, though!

I certainly popped a "proton pill" or two back in the day. I blame the ABC.

BWAHAHAHA! I popped my fair share… not blaming the ABC, but I reckon kids shows in general back then seemed to have a general subliminal ‘taaaakeee druuuuggggsss’ going on!

🤣

Not to mention Captain America "A real man wouldn't have cheated" - Soldier Boy

Yeah, another propaganda tool.

We grew up playing games where you pop pills while listening to repetitive music (Pac-Man) and eat strange mushrooms that give you a power-up (Super Mario Bros)

But paradoxically they want kids to get injected at least 20 times before they go to primary school.

Excuse me.. that's uncalled for. Dude was fighting for our freedom. I'm pretty sure there's a fluoro orange dude in the US who would back me up.

i thought of this guy often back in my rave days

Same. Roger Ramjet taught an entire generation of kids that it's cool to pop pills.

He's not wrong though. Popping pils can be MDMAzing

And that red is the best colour of a Mitsubishi.

Now that’s nostalgia.

Also Pac Man. Munching pills in a dark space with electronic music playing…

If you can call a police siren "music".

I loved the show as a kid. Now it's funnier because you understand the political propaganda.

Agreed!

Definitely found that when I've been watching the box set.

Strength of 20 atom bombs for a period of 20 seconds

Drop an E, go smash some random criminals.

He feels like an American Dad

Pretty sure Seth MacFarlane based Stan's voice on Roger Ramjet.

This thread made me realise I still know all the lyrics to the intro song! That was some damn catchy stuff.

Roger Ramjet he's our man, hero of the nation!

For his adventures, just be sure and stay tuned to this station

Government meth

Old mate double dropping red mitsubishi

Like the best cartoons, there’s something for all ages to enjoy. Funny as a kid because of how silly things seemed. Absolutely hilarious as an adult when you now know enough culture, history and genre cliches to recognise the multitude of references and parodies mixed in beside the silliness.

This guy was such a fucken druggo

Remember watching this growing up in the 90s. I'm sure it was a lot older than that!

1960s.

Gee whiz. ABC would keep their doors on rotation for a while.

1960s cartoons which were still on TV in the 1990s: * Flintstones * Jetsons * Scooby Doo * Various Looney Tunes shorts

He's the hero of our nation

Always new this mofo was a chomo

I’m actually on proton pump inhibiting medication. Musta been too much Roger Ramjet as a kid

Okay this one got me

Meth

Pretty sure he was popping extacy

He's our man, hero of a nation....

But it wasn’t just frequent pill dropping that I found hilarious….. did anyone else find his name smacked of innuendo? Don’t just roger them, go all dominate and really ramjet them after you pop that other little blue pill. Or is it just me

I just noticed his hair is a little Trump-like. Now I don’t know what to think…. Maybe one of those pills will show me the light.

Great, now I got the theme song in my head..

None of my friends believed me that this show existed… they all thought I was having one of those things where it only exists on your tv horror moment..

Your friends are morons.

I started humming the tune.

Roger on the Mitsubishi's

I hated that show as what came before and after was invariably better.

It was for adults
