Action Hank

The single most coolest, strongest and most powerful man to ever have existed on earth. He's considered to be more powerful than Chuck Norris and King Leonidas together. The term "Action Hank" is used when someone does something incredibly cool like jumping out of a window from an exploading building.
Person 1: "Man that guy was really cool when he dodged all those bullets, jumped off a bridge and landed on a truck loaded with pillows, somersaulted off it just as it exploaded and landed in the front seat of his own car."

Person 2: "Yeah that was totally Action Hank"

Action League Now!

A segment on Kablam! that eventually had its own show.

It consisted of action figures and dolls, being animated by stop motion and live motion. It also used "Chuckimation" which is "chucking" the dolls across the screen to make the illusion that it is flying/moving.

The four heroes were The Flesh (the stupid one), Thunder Girl (the strong female with the brain who can fly), Stinky Diver (the former Navy Commando with an Aussie accent), and Meltman (a melted action figure who has a crush on Thundergirl but cannot have her; everyone thinks he's useless but he's often the underdog and saves the day).

The Action League's supervisor is The Chief, and he has a dog named Justice. The villain on the show is often the Mayor, although there are other villains such as HodgePodge occasionally. Ironically, the Action League is usually its own worst enemy because they create most of the chaos. Another character on ALN! is Bill the Lab Guy, who is possibly a ripoff of Bill Nye the Science Guy. He is a useless scientist, who in the instance of his help being needed, he says "There's nothing I can do" or "I was afraid of this!"

The Flesh, is actually a modified version of a "Conan the Adventurer" figure. Thundergirl is most likely a Barbie head on some kind of action figure body that was manufactured in a private toy factory. Stinky Diver is identical to a "Navy Seals: Shipwreck" GI Joe Figure except his gloves and flippers are red instead of green/black. Meltman is probably just a melted action figure made from a mold and manufactured in a toy factory for the show. Other action figures on the show are Playskool Doll House figures from the 1990s, and are mostly used for the citizens of wherever the Action League resides.

Although it had a segment on every show Kablam!, it became its own show, and it didn't last very long and was eventually cancelled. It usually came on after "Butt Ugly Martians" which was also cancelled. Not many people know this, but before Kablam!, Action League Now! was actually on All That a couple of times.
"Hey do you remember that show Action League NOW!?"
"Hecks yeah I do! It was so sweet! Talking action figures that moved around!"
"I know! I remember that one naked guy who always said 'Ouchies!'"
"..Your dad?"

Action Squad

A hardcore, old-school urban exploration crew widely-known for their illicit excursions into hidden, forbidden, and forgotten places all over the Minneapolis / Saint Paul area.
The motivations behind Action Squad are complicated and no doubt the result of seeing “Goonies” and the Indiana Jones movies too many times at too impressionable of an age.

The most sick action sport is surfing bruh!

The craziest action sport's super star is Travis Pastrana because he does nac-nac back flips from one sky scraper to the next.

Action Sports are like my therapy bruh.

Action 52

A game developed for the NES with 52 incomplete and buggy low quality games. It was designed to be released only to be rented but the developers wanted an outrageous price to allow companys to rent this subpar game.
An original Action 52 cartridge is a rare collectors item.

action 52

An unlicensed game with 52 games in one cart, created by Active Enterprises at the price of $200 (a "bargain" at less than $4 a game, they boasted) for the NES and later, the Sega Genesis.

Action 52 is the worst game ever made. Poorly programmed, all 52 games are loaded with bugs and glitches, and as a result, are impossible to beat. The graphics, sound effects and music are very poor. The game was met with heavy criticism and the company folded, but not before releasing Cheetahmen 2, which was a sequel to the 52nd game on the cart. This game is now coveted by collectors of NES games.
Paying $200 for 52 games that do not work is hardly a bargain. Action 52 is terrible!
