Wow. I didn't think about it before but it's very easy to imagine that being T.J.'s reason.

Except the government

It's like that for most cartoon videos now which sucks. I used to love reading the comments for the doug videos.

@@chesspunk489 sameee. I also miss reading the comments in oobi videos (nick jr is the program that was on btw)

same, i’m really glad this video has its comment section intact. i still rewatch Recess episodes here and there, not because of nostalgia, but because it’ll always be a genuinely good timeless show, and being able to share that love for the show with others is the best

I think they've been turned off to keep people from posting offensive comments and using foul language.

Honestly. It's really comforting finding your type of people in a comment section that doesn't try to be a keyboard warrior or start shit, Just good vibes talking about cartoons.

Do you remember the Box? Finisters punishment lol

I was going to mention the box. You know those two were TJ types themselves in school.

Why do you guys keep calling her Finister? It's Finster.

I give em props.

well first off it principal TJ not buddy and that stupid kid should know what happens when a rules broken

: I wonder why

Finster admits that TJ was a not so rotten apple. Which by her book is saying like TJ is alright.

Right i was going to say the same thing....Menlo was like TJ misbehaving

Man, the lore within this Recess Universe XD

@@daniellem2992 TJ doesn't misbehave though really

Not as evil as "The Box", but perhaps smarter. Her plan was incredibly smart, just bad luck the one day he gets a conscience is the one day he holds power.

I’ve never seen this show in my childhood, and I’m almost 20 years old.

@@viniciusgmachado1204 that’s because this show aired from 1997-2001.

@@dannysimion That’s so short-lived!

@@viniciusgmachado1204 yup. But it’s a cult classic. Besides, they had to grow up anyways.

These recess videos been around since 2010,And I've been watching them on repeat ever since

I’d rather have Prickly than Phil Benedict.

I would rather have prickly than principal skinner. Skinner would give you a Year's attention if you cut School during the trip to the Amish country, but you save the world from world War III

He did call TJ "son"

Its like spanelli and tj sometimes get along with the school villans

You know it shows prickly is secretly a kid at heart in some episodes there was one episode where he was drawing animals

ALEXIS ANNA P. We need an episode for that one.

Alexis Anna Pruitt as i soon as i took it my headphones went silent to

what shock me is that how he was able to fly from the tetherball court all the way to the jungle Gym

@@animeknight8958 Cartoon logic, Some want to question it like a 'genius(more or less an insult)' while others don't question such things.

He was more like an ape than a kid. The kind of kid all rambunctious kids aspire to be.

YESSS

You too, man. It's only a matter of time until this comments section is gone too.

KZfaq has ruined itself, yet I’m still here. It’s not necessarily sending me down a better path, but a nostalgic one. Happy travels good sir.

Well he is shorter than Lawson, so it makes sense that Gus would say that.

😂😂😂

nostalgia and relaxing shows are the best type of night cap. This is also one of them for me.

Same here

Shows back then had such a different feeling. They didn't handle kids like mindless robots like most meaningless cartoons nowadays, such as the ones that air on cartoon network and disney. But at the same time, they didn't want to stuff kids' minds with things they don't even understand yet, such as racism and LGBT elements

2024 and same 😂😂

Him and TJ had the same behaviour in the achools ...climbing the statue, hiding treasure , and a huge supporter of recess.

Gus Gus,funny serious dude

I know right ..😳

"That's no midget. That's Principal TJ." "... he's more machine than kid now..."

@@XxEmoGothOutcastxX twisted and evil

That got me feeling on the floor with laughter

Ironically Disney didn't get a hold of Star Wars for another 15 years!

@@hamursh TJ Detweiler broke the window at third street school That was Whack!

@@hamursh and in Recess: School’s Out, there was a Indiana Jones reference.

Yes, but at what cost?

@@seanmyster6 Everything

I mean, indoor recess/ no recess and The Box is what broke TJ

Cartoons don't have to make sense

I'd do it just to mess with people.

Its all his previous suits

He role plays with menlo in his secret sex dungeon

it's the ones he saved up for principal for a day they do every year

The Rguy you mean ignorant.

Ikr? 😂

@@jordanwright2072 u r gay

The Rguy I say racist shit all the time and I always get away with it

@@kraniumdranium1364 how do you come to that conclusion and so what if he does

Yup yup, sad but true. just curious how old are you? I am having a mid 20's life crisis lol.

Finster and Prickly's got nothing on Gelman though because as a kid, I thought he was spawned by Satan. XD

Same here it was mine too

Which charicter did you dislike the most

@@gazberotten2919you start!

Hahaha it had me cracking up

💀

FINSTER: Nice kick, Detweiler. MARCH!

Whereas while I'd seen all the component episodes, I hadn't seen the little bits glueing that "movie" together until 2 years ago. Its wiki says that it was almost never shown in the UK - weird!

Ehhhhh okay lol. .🤔😑.

@@delete--5563 what? The dudes right, T.J is pretty great role model for kids. Honest, smart, nice, crafty, and genuine. what’s not to be proud of?

@@delete--5563 🤦🏿‍♂️ Stfu loser. TJ is the man for real.

Compared to how Menlo was, TJ's a saint.

You called in sick so you still do

Do u have a job still?

It's been 8 months now...how's that job looking?

Lol real OG

My friend woke up 2 hrs late for her job 4 times and 4 hrs late one day because the cab forgot her and she still has her job, so imma say yes you do still have your job.

I'm replying 7 years late. Hows life mate? Oh that's right. You probably changed your phone on these 7 years (and your Google account). But if you got this reply to me. Thanks 😂

@@yaseenallam_ :P

trio dots 2001 was a bad year though

SuperSmashMaster43 This was '99

Jordan Wright I know

SuperSmashMaster43 so, how could he have seen it 2 years after?

Jordan Wright what are you even talking about...

What numbuh would he be though

@@thebandit0256 TJ - Number 1.5 Gus - Number 2.5 Vince - Number 3.5 Gretchen - 4.5 Mikey - 5.5 Spinelli - 6.5

Obviously you never watch Recess. The only person TJ follows is TJ

@@FireStormBaller yes but tj is a good kid in the show even if he causes trouble sometimes. Hed want to follow being a good principle to give his friends a better school life and for others to be more popular and liked (as seen that he has anxiety about being disliked as seen in the episode "nobody doesnt like tj")

The power of Ultra Instinct... XD

I think they mirrored the episode, it's a common trick to avoid copyright strikes.

@@kauske It's true they often do, but if they did that in this case, the writing in this episode would be backwards too. I've been watching a lot of these episodes recently, and either several characters are ambidextrous, or the artists weren't especially concerned with which hand characters were using. (Which is too bad. Left-handed people like feeling like we're not forgotten, heh.)

Hiii

Joe Farnen You mean dislike.

Good point...

Nice reference.

TJ, DID YA OR DID YA NOT PUT YOUR NAME FOR PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY ??

lmaooo 💀😂

What does spliffs mean?

@@Anonymous-wi6ig It is slang for Marijuana cigarettes.

Spliffelli

I'm 36 nd miss watching it

Fan123 456 he never was.

Jordan Wright yes he was

Fan123 456 Since when?

Jordan Wright did you even watch this episode when it showed you what he was like before he was chosen

Fan123 456 Yes, I did.

😂😂😂😂

He was disgusted because Randell touched him

It's funny cause later in the series it's revealed that Menlo and tj were best friends.

@@brutalkingofdoom2 what episode?

@@Igetsitin89 I don't specifically remember but tj is being all sneaky and stuff. It's revealed at the end that tj promised no matter what to always go to his birthday parties.

@@brutalkingofdoom2 oh damn I think I remember that & they was all mad about it

@@Igetsitin89 Some Friend

Eric Burns you're joking, right?

Jordan Wright and not every one is gonna see the first episode this show was showing when kids didnt know shit about there remotes only what channel numbers and that shit was hard asf shit i had to remember disney and nick and cartoon network and pbs kids and the basketball channel

@@bransonjallim2620 I'm just surprised that this was the first episode that he's ever seen.

@Kadyll Wild Child?

@Kadyll Oh.

Wow 10 years ago. Oldest comment I’ve ever seen

I think breaking the window was only a climax of series of antics Prickly had beared

If that were my school, my parents would be called and told to come to the school.

I saw it

WHAT

:'( WHAT. That's so sad. And of drug effects :(

It is actually very cheap you only give them one each because they cheap uncooked that is why they sold at fundraisers

Yeah as an adult I can't look past the price

Have you fucking seen the lavish lives these fucking teachers live in secrecy they get 5-Star food every fucking day This universe exists where teachers are paid way more then they're worth or they're straight up fucking lying on their tax returns to the government.

KnightofFunnyJunk are you joking mate? idk where tf u live 😂
