because then and now, I'm trying to spend my morning with my cereal watching shit blow up. Not get lectured at. I also think that there's a subset of us out here that are shitters and will do the opposite of what we're told. I bet DARE created just as many junkies as it did straight edge people.
It was something the show's staff was ordered to do by suits so they could look good in the eyes of parent's group.
That said, I believe a He-Man voice actor mentioned that someone said that someone told him a segment they had done about staying put if lost in the wilderness so that people can find you saved his life.
Morals are best taught through stories, rather than just hearing someone tell you something and expecting you to believe it. The best way to demonstrate why a certain behavior is better is to show the consequences of not doing it. When people do the right thing, good things happen. When people do the wrong thing, bad things happen. This is the whole point of lessons in stories. When you just tack on a moral at the end, delivered in words,the audience has no reason to believe it. It's preachy in the most literal sense, as in someone is preaching to them.
Morals can cause a story to revolve around it if forced instead of just entertaining. Although in isolated segments like in GI Joe or even Centurions or He Man I thought it was okay. It wasn't even a moral in some cases like "don't run with scisors" or "don't stick metal forks in electric outlets."

To be fair many shows like the ones from FILMATION like He-Man or Bravestarr at least tried to tie the moral with the events that transpired during the episode proper to make an example.
It was corny and most of the time the moral was already in the episode and they were just spelling it out obnoxiously
There's something kinda nostalgic about it now, though, especially with Snarf/Orko/T-Bob saying something dumb and everyone throwing their heads back and laughing
G I JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Imagine if you did this with modern cartoons except the moral lesson is a random fact about off the wall shit like debunking conspiracy theories or managing finances or something
conspiracy theories >after multiple easily debunked conspiracies they get one that has so many contradictions it implies the conspiracy is true
Too based to be real
it was lame then and it's lame now
but why?

Best answers in this thread.
Imagine being a kid and He-Man's advice literally saving your life. That'd be cool.
Instead now you're a kid and She-Ra's advice makes you troon out.
Definitely sounds like a cool childhood memory to have.
no one is going to think christian mom groups working with Reagan are based

>Sonic Sez don't ride in the dryer
Did kids really in ride in the dryer?
Yes, children are moronic and we detain them in government schooling for a reason
But that just makes them more moronic
moronic enough to blindly follow the system, but not moronic enough to kill themselves before the system can profit off of them.
Zero downsides.
Riding a dryer sounds like a tik tok challenge. I'd say kids nowadays do dumber things than riding inside of a dryer.
Never understood why kids have total access to everything?
Yes boomer spawn were that moronic
also don't get diddled

I don't think an episode of Tails getting molested is going to fly in a kids cartoon, Anon.

It wasn't all morality. GI gave pretty good tips on how to not get bit by a stray dog or what to do if someone fell through the ice while skating.
dumb ESL
These PSAs are basically how everything is written nowadays.
I know right? What if I want to walk up to a police officer and just jerk off at him?
Zoomers didn't have these. That's why half of them have fidget spinner up their ass's.
what?
What if I watched he-man on qubo?
Sure, kid, pretend children weren't twirling things like pencils or playing with a rock or something decades ago too when they were bored.
As along as there pork chop sandwiches
DONT GIVE HIM THE STICK

>T-Bob
A man of culture
The only good thing those ever gave us was these
I say we bring this sort of thing back so we can get more cringe kino like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA0KTFdnBk8

He-Man's moral bits were at least illustrated in the story. GI Joe's had jack shit to do with anything and were just tacked on at the end of episode.
