I can’t believe this is 15 years old. This was, and still is, the shit. Please never take this down.

Seems like everyone else is returning to this video for a nostalgia trip, pretty sure if I look hard enough I could find some cringy comments I made when I was like 11 or 12. Hard to believe this video is more than a decade old, makes me feel old.

Ive been searching for this nostalgia for years and I’ve finally found it! This is gold

"Kick ass and don't look back!" Still to this day, the best G.I. Joe stop motion on KZfaq.

15 years later it still slaps

The greatest stop motion action figure movie of all time!!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed the movie for all these years. I actually made this in 1998. A small part of me hopes it inspired a new generation of stop motion animation in some way!

The song at the beginning is the "Covert Operatives theme song" sung by me.

A KZfaq classic.

this inspired me once to do a gi joe film for film school and they were blown away by my film so thank you for making this

I remember seeing this at my grandmothers house on her old computer... Time flys

I watched this back in 2008 and it brings back a lot of memories. It inspired me to create stop motion of my own and don't worry I don't have a single one of them on my channel in case you though I was promoting myself. This is the work of a pure genius.

RIP vintage GI joes. they will be missed.

Used to love this video when I was a kid!

I still come back and watch this every now and then. Love it

wow. can't believe it's been over seven years since I first watched this. Looking at it again, it's almost like a stop-motion precursor to all the action channels on KZfaq. Freddiew and Corridor Digital are staples of the KZfaq action experience, but Covert Operatives will always have a nostalgic effect on me. It blew my mind (in literally blowing away the minds of its stars) and triggered an onslaught of my own stopmotion on good ol' Digital Blue Movie creator..memories, man. Memories. :)

Wow, I remember watching this in my childhood and I collected Gi joes before I saw this, and it motivated me to get all the ones you collected and this animation is still so amazing and so greatly done. So much time and effort payed off.

BRC. Before Robot Chicken. :-)

What an incredible trip down memory lane. I must have watched this 50 times when i was 11 or 12. Thanks for keeping this on KZfaq!

Saw this as a kid and loved it immensely. Still love it immensely. Thank you for the inspiration.

"I'm good with computers and stuff"

amazing stuff of gold

Lmao looking back at this from my favorites.. 2006. Crazy. This is a super well done video though lol

Still my favorite after all these years

When was this originally released? Remember watching this YEARS ago.

Oh man, this was one of the first videos I saw on KZfaq. KZfaq Classic right here! Hey Jeff, how old were you when you made this video, if you don't mind.

I have no words for how much I love this film. This was probably one of the first videos I was graced with upon finding KZfaq when I was in elementary school and I can’t believe I found it today, like 13 some odd years later. Gotta say, it’s even better than before. Don’t FUCK with the Covert Operatives.

It popped into my head randomly, just now, glad to see it’s still up, I love covert operatives.

2 years and it will be a decade old.

this was 10 years ago

On Thursday 9/20, Denver had a GI Joe StopMo Film Fest. It was great getting to see "Covert Operatives" on the "big" screen. Congrats on winning best film with 3-3/4" action figures and on being one of the audience favorites.

This always reminded me of movies like Snake Eater(1989) and Broken Arrow. It's good to revisit the old stuff.

Awesome!!!!!! This is some of the best content on this whole shitery.

Just came back for mum daily dose! 10 years and going! I still remember watching this when I was 10. It really made me want to do stop motion with my toys.

This film is great especially the part when they come off the elevator and I remember seeing this when I first joined KZfaq. I am surprised it is not at a million hits.

This was always my favorite stop action movie!

Thanks for being a fan for all these years!

2012 and this is still the best stop-motion I know.

One of my favourite videos of all time. You wouldn't believe how much of an influence this has had on me. Good work!

Glad I remembered the name of this and found it!! To this day I still use the line "I'm good with computers and stuff".

omg this brings back so many memories.....time really flys

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you love my movie so much. It actually took me about 9 months to make this movie including building all the sets and everything. And yes, I have seen Robot Chicken. You're right it is good stopmotion.

This was my favorite stop motion video along time ago.

That is like the best thing my eyes have ever seen...ever... The Detail at which you wreck wooden objects is just amazing

lol i watched this first in 2006 going thru my old favorites

No matter how many times you watch it, it still PWNS on so many levels

Really hope this goes into the KZfaq Recommendations some day and gets millions of views. Its a classic.

A real classic. Deserved a million views. You know how much work this takes. Well done!

dude i loved the whole thing the theme song rocks the action is amazing the comedy is side splitting the behind the scenes ending is too funny

I watched it like 30 times cause it's so cool!!!

this is such a 80;s hero film...LOVE IT!! MORE

I've been messing around with a GIJoe stop motion but nothing this amazing. Great movie!

I remember seeing this video more than a decade ago. Good to see it's lived to see the KZfaq era.

Great job on this. I remember seeing it on a different site years ago before KZfaq was even around. Still holds up.

Holy shit! I watched this so many times when I was younger on iFilm. This brings back great memories of the dial up period!

Just awesome, plain awesome. I loved how the wood crates starting coming apart from the gunfire. Great Work!

Awesome ! "those actors weren't killed, their stunt doubles were!"

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. The punk songs in the movie were done by me. I also used the SWAT theme in the city stuff.

Oldie but a goodie. Love this flick I just love it!!

this is one of the coolest movies i have seen on youtube!! i would like to see more like it.

Thanks! It holds up after all these years.

Quality,really good scenes and character movement.excellent sets and funny dialogue.must of taken you days to complete.really excellent.

Took me a while to find this!!!! Who’s still watching at 2019?

I have that figure...it's still in pretty good shape...and this movie is kick ass! I was laughin my ass off!

I looked at this like 100 years ago and I looked at it like 100 times and showed to all my friends (Still do), to me this is a classic. It wasn't on youtube then though, some other platform. I like it so much.

Wow that was the coolest stop motion movie that I have ever seen!!

Hell yes! I remember watching this on iFilm all the time...

Thank you for this. I remember watching this a long time ago on a dial up modem. This video has been stuck in my head since I was a kid.

I feel old everytime I come back to this

i frickin love this! used to watch this in KZfaqs early days. Truly Classic!

Impressive...Most impressive... I applaud the patience required for sucj a movie...I had no patience when it came to making my movie...so stop animation was a no go...but enuff about me...This movie is wonderfully done. A perfect mix of action and comedy. Congrats, this is true gold.

This video is the best G.I joe stop motion

Most of the guns came with the figures when I originally bought them back in the 80's. I saved them all these years.

Someone catches on to that joke every once in a while. Thanks!

The movie is great! But I'm more amazed how you could manage to fit a 14 min clip into a 10 min box of space. This one is going to my favorites.

Best G.I. Joe ever!!!

this is awesome the background,blood, awwww its crazy this is the best stop motion on youtube.

Still remember this fondly when I was 6 I had no idea how I came across it but it was awesome

This is one of my most FAVORITE-est movies of all time! I used to watch it on ifilm all the time. "Computers 'n Stuff"...so many quotable lines. Michael St. Vincent's PSA rules!!! The Foriegn Investor and Phillip rule! And I fuckin' LOVE the Covert Operatives punk theme music! On top of that, the stop animation is done really well with great attention to detail. Thanks for making the best, bloodiest, stop motion action figure animation ever!

Lol used to watch this vid all the time wen I was in school, 12 years ago. Funny as hell

I remember viewing this in Newgrounds. This is truly a masterpeice.

Oh man...watched this on Ifilm about 7 years ago? Classic, glad to have watched it again :D

I can watch this over and over again. This rocks so much! Thanks a lot for doing it. :)

Loved watching this years and years ago on Ifilm...... One of my students then told me about it and he was surprised I knew exactly what it was... thought I was some boring old teacher!

thanks for making this movie i really enjoyed it, and all the hard effort is appreciated.

This vid along with the last randy standing were the first two stopmotion vids I ever saw...Thnx to that I now have a greater appreciation for the innovative and unparralled thinking that stop motion animators put into their work...big ups to you XD

Look mommy there's an airplane in the sky-good bye blue sky by Pink Floyd fucking love it

Talk about nostalgia

Hey covertoperatives, I saw this back on ifilm a few years ago. Just as funny as the first time I saw it. Well done.

that might be the best thing i've ever seen on youtube.

THE BEST TOY ACTION FILM EVER!

I have but two words, sir. THANK YOU.

I've been trying to remember what this short was, for the last hour. I was about to fill out a "Tip of my tongue" reddit post, when eventually the musical ear worm released the "Covert Operative" song from my memory. I remember first seeing this between 2000-2001, on some website/forum/wherever it was. Great Video, with a lot of man hours to animate.

Really impressive. An incredible job. I look very good movements, special effects and decorations. And also your collection of action figures.

I've got a bunch. They were all from my childhood back in the 80's.

That was amazing! Definitely going on my favorites...

this is better than most hollywood stopmotions your amazing man

EPIC! So much effort must have gone into this, the sets are wicked!

I remember watching this back in the mid to late 90s on newgrounds. still funny to this day :).

Haven’t seen this in so long. Remember discovering it back in 08.
