I swear I saw Family Guy "Partial Terms of Endearment" on live TV, cause I never downloaded that show or owned any DVDs for it. And I am 100% American, never watched Family guy outside of America- and haven't watched it at all since ~2014
Beelzebub is NOT REALLY another name for Satan at all - but MODERN Christians who have never actually read the first testament would have you believe they are the same. To quote Wikipedia "Beelzebub is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. The name Beelzebub is associated with the Canaanite god Baal." But yeah the first testament talks about it as a religion where the God is a demon, not Satan - ppl wanna call EVERYTHING Satan/The Devil - when EVEN DEVIL MEANS DEMON! Satan is a fallen Angel who challenged the supreme authority of the one true God - to follow the bible and its Dogma.
I think maybe the Fairly Odd parents episode may have been controversial due to the possibility of encouraging suicide in depressed people. By making it clear in the episode that everyone is better off with Timmy no longer existing, depressed teens or others may watch it and convince themselves everyone will be better off without them as well and go through with the suicide. He said if anyone had any ideas as to why that episode may have been banned to post the idea, so that's my idea.😊
@RosePetalGamin yeah they've done it on like, alot 😊 But I mean, wondering what the world would be like without you, that's not really that unique of an idea,😂 cus I think everybody wonders that at one point or another (not nessicarily in a depressive way in some ppl too) So, yes. Alot of shows and movies and art in general have worked that idea in so many times that that honestly, I'd consider it a trope at this point. But id say its primarily in TV Shows or Movies
And this was in the 1940s! People act like no one said nothing.. People spoke up about crap like that.. A lot of people knew it was racist but was scared to speak up about it being coined n word lover.. Even though the people who spoke up were people who dated the same race as themselves.. They knew this was wrong..
I'd say the path from the very neutered movie franchise explains it, but hell even some R-rated (some in the pre-PG13 days, granted) action heroes were seemingly marketable enough for execs to take the hatchet to em.
It was actually really common at the time for adult-oriented material to be adapted for kids. From R rated franchises like Rambo, Robocop, and Aliens being turned into cartoons and toy lines to comics like the Mask and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles getting turned into cartoons and kids’ movies. The 80s were pretty lax about what stuff was acceptable for children (see the f-bomb in Beetlejuice, the full nudity in Clash of the Titans, and the heart-ripping-out of Temple of Doom, all rated PG.) And every decade after that toned it down in increments. What’s weird is that until recently, kids movies had been getting ever more juvenile from the 80s to now with the PG rating in the 2010s being neutered to basically a G rating (thankfully Spiderverse seems to have created pushback on this) but the opposite was true for television with cartoons from the 80s to now getting progressively more mature, not just in content but in storytelling. The standards have always kind of been whatever nonsense a particular exec believed at the time.
"We want to make it clear that the Disney corporation does not approve of Satanic imagery. Now, please enjoy the Night On Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia. "
@@zalybrainlessgenius503 Yeah they really walked a fine line in that show, didn't they? That's probably why the other dimension got less ghoulish and weird over time. Which was a shame. I love ghoulish and weird! :)
Learning Pucca is banned is truly shocking, I remember that show being massive and having endless merchandise (though I never watched it myself) but I never really considered how it just disappeared
Especially romancing the clone! I used to watch it all the time on Jetix here in the US so kind of sad it was banned. I always thought Puccas behavior was weird but that’s why I never copied it. Sad that they banned it
Pucca being kind of a stalker? Yeah, but people saying it teaches children not to take no for an answer just shows you that they never even watched it, Garu was supposed to be her boyfriend but didn't want to show it in case the other ninjas attacked her, in most of the shorts between chapters when they're alone he enjoys being with her, I remember a specific short in which he melted his katana to make a ring to propose to her 🙃
i thought the show was funny and cute. for him to say there was "clear SA" in this cartoon was ridiculous and in all honesty pretty offensive to those of us who have actually experienced real SA. if it was banned there is no way it could have been for that and if i remember correctly was he not actually her BF and he just wanted to hide that i know that was true in the web aninations.
Quick bit of info for ya - The Flintstones was the Simpsons of it's day. It aired in prime time and was aimed at adults so yes, Fred and Barney smoking 100% made sense. It's from a time when animation was not just seen as kiddie fodder. You'll see the same in Disney and Looney Tunes stuff from that time too. Cigarettes were seen as healthy back then, most adults smoked. It was also common for your favorite prime time stars to advertise everything from razors to soft drinks to cigarettes, even Rodolph's first airing had sponsored spots, but in modern times these have been cut out of the programs.
Cartoons can take several months to produce. According to the Spongebob wiki, "Kwarantined Krabs" was finished in January 2020 with a planned release in the months following. This would mean during most of its production, Covid was not on the crew's radar. The episode's temporary ban seems more in line with very unfortunate timing rather than the creators thinking an episode about quarantine during quarantine would be a good idea. Honestly, the hysteria shown by Krabs in the episode mirrors many people's reactions during the pandemic, so it feels quite relevant, albeit unintentionally.
The Flintstones cigarette commercial makes more sense when you consider at the time it was aired, Flintstones was considered an "adult" cartoon. The fact that Fred and Wilma were shown sleeping in the same bed was absolutely scandalous at the time.
Well it was an all audiences cartoon at least! It was aired during prime time television but was intended for both adults and kids! Still makes way more sense with that knowledge though
Love how the reasons from censorship range from "This could actually cause a lot of damage" to "This admittedly pushes way too far into risque/controversial topics" to "Someone thinks that this frame is offensive is you squint your eyes, it has to go"
As an unwanted child who was regularly informed that my family and schoolmates would be better off without me, the Fairly Odd Parents episode would have fucked me up hard. Glad it was pulled.
thats messed up bro ur OWN FAMILY SAID THAT TO U DEN UR CLASSMATES LIKE BRO WHO SAYS THAT?!?!??! dem ppl messed up 4 saying that too u, just know that god loves u :D god bless u i hope u have a good day :)
For Big Brother Calliou, it has been well documented that the lessons the episodes teach don't reach kids. They repeat the bad behavior that gets corrected instead. So Calliou pinching his sister's cheeks like that would likely get replicated from young viewers who hadn't had that idea.
Children of the age the show is aiming for do not have the mental capacity to understand why an action is immoral, they'll just repeat it because they saw a character do it.
This reminds me of a horrible incident where an 8 year old child killed three babies by beating and suffocating them. Though the child didn't have access to these types of cartoons, it was just something that it reminded me of it because the child reportedly started out just pinching the baby's faces has hard as he could.
Yup. I remember a very energetic discussion of the "Good Calliou vs Asshole Calliou seasons" brought on by my coworkers years ago. The consensus between them was they limit which specific episodes their kids would watch, as the latter half just instilled terrible behavior in their own kids. Kids don't understand adult in cartoons. Kids understand kids in cartoons. When an adult talks in a cartoon, that's their opportunity to ignore it and not get in trouble by ignoring it.
@@FurryWrecker911I remember watching Calliou as a small child and I never took that behavior as something repeatable. I think it depends on the kid and we have a tendency to over simplify/generalize how all kids' psychology and brains work.
@@Amanda-kd1zr that should go without saying. The point is, if 10% of kids watching Calliou emulate his bad behavior, that is still a huge amount of kids being negatively impacted by the show and as such should not generally be shown to children. Just because every child isn't emulating the behavior doesn't mean it's not a negative influence in general.
Pretty sure Dexter's Rude Removal was a fans-only episode and never intended for broadcast. It was aimed at the show's adult fans (and why not, it's a brilliant cartoon).
Adults animation/adult anime is becoming more acceptable now.. Back in the day stupid people only though animation was only meant for kids.. I can say that cause I grew up in the 1990s where people were screaming *"We need to protect the children from TV"* like it's the TV job to raise their children.. Freaking idiots.. The same clowns who wanna act like people wasn't trying to cancel stuff back then.. Give me a break! But anyways adults need to laugh just as well as children do too..
Actually, it *was* intended for broadcast, but was never broadcast due to the whole premise. It was shown at events tho, but remained a rumor of sorts until Adult Swim released it.
1:17:46 One of my 6th grade teachers got diagnosed with cancer and passed very fast afterwards. He was also my teacher in 4th grade and I remember how awesome of a teacher he was.

As a mother of a child with epilepsy I appreciate you trying to reduce the pokemon scene. However so you have a heads up for future episodes even as slowed down as you showed it, if the persons epilepsy is severe enough even as slow as that can cause a seizure. My daughter's epilepsy is so bad that even regular house hold lights can cause seizures. Just so you know and don't inadvertently cause someone to have a seizure.
Actually the Rude Removal episode was never aired originally. It was shot down by Cartoon Network. But the creators kept it preserved and always talked about it. It wasn't aired until recently on adult swim.
Not to flex, but I actually saw the original airing of Squidward in Randomland! As a huge fan of creepypastas, I really enjoyed the reference. I’ve always liked it when shows referenced their lost episode creepypastas, like what Gumball did with The Grieving
The original airing was the last spongebob episode I'd seen before we cut cable and went to streaming, and when I rewatched the episode I was surprised the red mist reference was removed
god i remember the grieving reference, i was so excited to see it as a huge creepypasta fan and stayed up all night to watch the new episode, falling asleep halfway through only to get jumpscared awake by that stupid chihuahua
One thing I have noticed is that the Covid pandemic seemed to single handedly wipe out a lot of references to zombies or other types of "infected" horror tropes. As many zombie movies and references as we had before 2020, they just all vanished afterward.
We did get a The Last Of Us series after 2020, but you're right. It will come back eventually. I just think people needed a break from disease. It's like how war movies only really became big a decade after WW2
@@rasmuskock8077 Very true. Unless I'm very much mistaken, I think we might also be getting a break from Post Apocalyptic settings in the horror genre. Possibly for the same reason. And It is certainly understandable. Chances are good that after a few more years we'll get that back as well.
When the Flintstones aired, it wasn't a kid's cartoon. It was considered the same as any other TV comedy or drama. Cartoons weren't treated as a medium only for kids until some time later. So the smoking commercials weren't that odd for the time. Also cigarette ads back in the day used to have claims like "4 out of 5 doctors choose Winston!"
I remember I watched the deleted SpongeBob scenes of Procrastination when I was little and never saw them again and it made me think that maybe it was just a dream I had of that episode.
I will miss the scene in "Just One Bite" where Squidward opened a door to a bucket of gas and got lit on fire. It's weird that they removed it because there are other scenes where much worse happens to Squidward that didn't get cut even ones where he catches fire so I have no idea what the issue was with that specific scene.
bro, the "coffee" that donald uses in the Hitler episode is literally the capsules soldiers had with them to commit suicide if they were caught by the enemy ... Insane level of symbolisms
Imagine banning a SINGLE episode about *medical* weed in a show that features Homer, shown repeatedly to be a pretty problem alcoholic. The hypocrisy, my god 😂😂😂
being real, the fairly odd parents one hurts me. as a kid who went thru so much that I did not deserve, i felt like timmy. i was trying so hard to appeal to my alcoholic narcissistic parents, they would berate me with phrases that they wished i was aborted and that i ruined the bloodline. i was 13. school noticed my self harm, my lack of attention span, my zoning out, the bruises, and failed to connect the dots. i felt like timmy, nobody gave a shit if i was dead or alive. kids don’t deserve to feel that way and felt better off dead. i am 3 attempts in life still living at 21 for now. don’t let kids feel worthless, support them.
i'm sorry you've had a hard road homie, i'm glad you're here. i'm only 6 years older than you but i can say life comes with its ups and downs. having been in the hospital a couple times for suicidal ideation, my friends were really what got me thru it. you can gather a found family as well that will treat you better than blood, i promise
Surprised that other Pingu episodes weren't featured on here. Like the one where Pingu pretends to be a Native American and the one that involved a walrus stalking Pingu (the walrus had human teeth instead of tusks and its head looked like "something that shall not be mentioned here for obvious reasons"). The latter was placed on an unofficial ban but did air once in 2006.
28:00 "Blame it on lisa" My brothers dad is brazillian, he showed us that episode of the simpsons to "prepare us" for our trip to brazil to meet his parents. He was from Rio de Janeiro and found that episode funny.
I was so baffled to hear that Pucca was hard to research, but I guess it's because of the ban aspect? Because In my country is a very well known show, you search it up you can find most of the show on yt, etc. though I never knew it was was banned in the US and Europe, I really wasn't expecting to find Pucca in this list :3 great vid!
Flintstones was originally actually meant for mainly adults to advertise various kinds of products which includes alcohol and tobacco. Like many other cartoons at the time limited by censorship, they only became children's icons later when cartoons became stigmatized as a genre for children. Before that they were more meant for general audience or even meant for mainly adults such as Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry but they feels so tame for today's standard due to Hays Code so they are rebranded as children's cartoon instead.
Yeah that show was never really intended to be a kids show. It was an animated primetime sitcom, like The Jetsons and The Simpsons, who really brought that concept back and were often compared with The Flintstones in the early days.
the real reason universal never got complaints is because back in the 40s everything was segregated, and they definitely did not show the same films in black only and white only theatres.
Maybe I'm not understanding, but what would this be if he hadn't added his thoughts? That's the whole video. No hate, just curious what the video would be without that.
pucca was actauly pretty big here in europe it had tons of merchandise includeing school suplies and a few web flash games a ton of dvds were also produced with episodes on them it was a really big hit on jetix back in the day
@@Sr.Anonimo-bk1uzi was just gonna say that! Here in latin america it was everywhere, like my first halloween i went as Pucca, it's amazing to me that it wasn't that popular in other places, it blew my mind
The Flintstones wasn't marketed as a children's show until the late 1970s. It was just a show that came on at night, like I Love Lucy. A sitcom. In its early seasons, it tackled the censorship of television a lot. It was edgy. The Family Guy of its day. For instance, it was the first show to depict a man and a woman sleeping in the same bed. I applaud Elizabeth Banks for bringing it back with a promise of its original edge.
Not to be a conspiracist, the south park bleep joke is so well timed I feel like it was always intended to be censored. Like maybe they said the stuff that comedy central had to censor it as publicity. Or maybe I just think the bleep is funnier than what they actually said.
Something about the almost 2 minutes of bleep was always kinda funny to me and now knowing what was said it’s a bit funnier holy crap they were spot on
My guess is they made the script knowing full well it was going to be censored, so they went out of their way to make sure the censorship was as comedic as possible
Dexter's Rude Removal was NEVER shown on air and made as an in-joke within the studio's production team. So anything you've heard about parents objecting against the title card and content is false. In fact it was a long lost piece of media until around 2013 2014ish when Adult Swim finally showed the episode in full to audiences. Originally Rude Removal was only shown at a few private showings to my knowledge, I believe it was at animation festivals, comic con or private parties prior to the late 2000s (circa 1998).
Pucca was huge in South America and it was pretty controversial amongst parents, i remember parents used to discuss how it glorified sexual harrassment and how it wasn't banned because it was a girl harrassing a boy and not the other way around, eventually it stopped airing but it's available on streaming platforms and it still is relatively iconic, my fiancé loves the show which wasn't as blatant as the little shorts that aired in fox kids commercial breaks. Also another case was the sanction placed on the Gantz manga in Japan where each volume could only be released bi-weekly (or monthly?) instead of weekly because of how explicit it was with violence and nudity, just as a fun fact over here in South America we got largely uncensored anime in the 90s, the Gantz anime for example was a 1:1 translation and completely uncensored even with that infamous scene in the first episode where this one yakuza guy tries to r*pe the unconscious girl that's naked, pretty crazy to think about nowadays.
Crazy how I remember seeing so many of these episodes air - having not been fazed really - to see that they are now banned is so weird! most of the Family guy episodes, the simpsons episodes, and random Nick shows or like Cow & Chicken were so integral to my growth and i feel like those small issues really dont play into the larger picture these shows are portraying.
I've already watched all of these, but the fact that you went back to make sure all of the intros/outros were edited out & even added stuff to make the video a better watching experience is admirable.
In defense of The Flintstones commercial, there are several things you might not be taking into account: 1) It was in fact a different time 2) The Flintstones were the first prime time (after 6pm) cartoon, therefore it was posilutely NOT for kids 3) Less was known about the dangers of smoking back then. Hell, even doctors would recommend smoking for everything from anxiety to labor pains
Correction to No.3: By the time the Flintstones started airing, the link between smoking and lung cancer was fairly well understood in the right circles. Unfortunately, cigarette companies like the ones advertised on the Flintstones were bribing many doctors to continue spinning cigarettes as only beneficial.
@@R3SerialDreamsIrrelevant. Regardless of what SCIENCE had to say, the average American didn't give two figs. Science has been talking about red meat, global warming and the negative effects of sugar for almost 60 years, yet we managed to stay fat, punch a hole in the sky, and transfer the hatred from sugar to fat. If people only did things that were good for them, Red Bull, McDonald's, and Donald Trump would all be out of business
@@user-it1xy1zq2vThat's what I meant, though. The general public was still being shepherded to believe cigarettes were healthy when they weren't. Not much has changed, in that regard.
@@R3SerialDreams Cogent point. Even back then, doctors and The Surgeon General himself tried to get health warning labels on cigarettes but they just didn't have Tobacco Lobbyist money.
I remember the PPG episode in particular because it was a musical episode. I remember seeing it ONCE in tv as a kid and enjoying the music so much I was looking for ward to seeing it again for years - only to be confused and disappointed that it never aired anymore.
One thing about Steven Universe and censorship, more so of LGBT+, with Ruby and Sapphire's relationship. I think it was possibly Russia/China, but they presented Ruby as "male". So as somewhat as saying "screw you", they had Ruby wear a wedding dress and Sapphire wear a tuxedo
The weird part about “it’s a wishful life” is that I remember coming away from the episode feeling like my life had meaning to the people I loved. As a kid the episode never felt nihilistic to me, but maybe that’s changed over the years
One thing of note about the Buzz Lightyear drug allegory episode is that it's one of the few times where Mira's father is actually in the right and isn't just an asshole.
iirc rude removal was never banned; it was originally only ever shown at comic-con until adult swim got their hands on it and released it on youtube. i don't think it ever actually aired on tv.
I'm pretty sure that I saw it on TV once. Because I remember being very surprised as to why the 2 characters were speaking that where they were. No objection either at the time, But I do remember the episode.
Part of the Lilo & Stitch movie at the end with the spaceship had to be reanimated because it originally depicted destruction of buildings shortly after 9/11.
So the mother's lie is confirmed by Austin when it comes to the episode "Comedians" on Beavis and Butt-Head, so can this episode be brought back after the mother lied about the episode causing a real-life incident?
For future knowledge before you start pitying the creator of Ren & Stimpy: John Kricfalusi has a history of harassment known in the animation industry, and grooming a minor back in the late 90's. Episode Kwarantine Crab was *going* to release in 2020, but was held back until april of 2022. More importantly, a animated episode takes approximately a year in production before release in most studio productions. (South Park being an exception due to their topical nature.) So the confusion as to 'why would they even make this episode' is because it was written likely in 2019, and already nearly finished likely when 2020 rolled up and Covid happened. Also fun fact! Many reasons why cartoons like Looney Toons slap stick is okay to view verse a scene of a person cutting their fingers off with a kitchen knife is not allowed is because of the question: 'Can your kid replicate this?' This is why a lot of cartoons will tolerate Lazer guns, absurd giant hammers, explosive bombs/tnt, or dangerous high tech sci-fi gadgets are totally fine despite the portrayal of violence. I've animated in some of the cartoons mentioned here, and have worked on shows where we had to change out props as random as ROPE because if the characters are tied up in rope- something that is more easily accessible- they would not pass standards. Replace that rope with a giant metal claw though? Totally cool.
The "Its A Wishful Life" episode of the fairly odd parents is incredibly disturbing episode, and imo a dangerous one too. Im glad it was taken off air and butch himself apologized
I agree. You know something else? Out of all the spoofs and homages made, it was this one that first introduced me to It's a Wonderful Life. And now that i'm a grown up, i think both Frank Capra and James Stewart would turn on their graves if they saw that shit.
It's funny, as a kid I only saw the episode as a homage to It's a Wonderful Life, and never even put together that it had a really messed up message, but now that I'm an adult it's like GOD DAMN I'm glad it isn't aired anymore.
27:40 - I'm from Brazil and I recorded every Simpsons episode on VHS from season 1 to 20. 'Blame It On Lisa' was not banned on Fox here. TV Globo also had the rights, but only showed The Simpsons on saturdays, 1 episode per week. And since cartoons were never the focus on that network, I guess the banning went unnoticed for many of us who watched the show
Regarding the What A Cartoon short, it very likely was banned because unlike the Coyote using TNT or Tom being flattened by an anvil, which are over-exaggerated situations where no one has reasonable access to those elements, a kid does have easy access to sharp knives in the kitchen, so if the kid is dumb enough to want to recreate what they saw on the TV, there is a real risk of them ending up with a finger cut
I'm surprise there was only 1 Ren & Stimpy cartoon. I would have sworn there was one so controversial (revolving around SA) that got the whole show cancelled for good
There was a script for Adult Party Cartoon that has a character modeled after one of John K.'s victims, but it wasn't ever made (thankfully). Adult Party Cartoon was canned because when given the gift of total creative freedom John K. just wanted to be as crass as possible at all times without actually trying to be funny, making it as boring as it is disgusting. So no one watched it.
The episode "the cartridge family" was banned in the UK because we had the shooting that banned handguns in the UK happened march of the previous year. Dunblane Primary school
I can't believe the deepest entry of the iceberg is literally Pucca lol. Im even in more disbelieve when he talked abt how difficult it was to find info on the show. Pucca was really popular over here in South East Asia. I remember loving it as a kid. I guess if you really look into it, the concerns about depiction of SA in children cartoon kinda make sense. But from personal experience watching the show as a kid, I think most of us even at 11 or 10 did know that what Pucca was doing is kinda uncool and it's not okay to copy that irl. If you can look pass that tho the show is just a regular kid show and is fun to watch.
I don't remember watching the show as a kid but I do remember it floating around in pop culture in the US. Seeing it on merchandise and shirt and what not. Which is what made it surprising to hear that he had trouble finding info, I thought for sure it would have a cult following.
As far as the Beavis and Butthead episode being blamed for the fire: just to give some context nobody questioned why the mother left her 5 year old son alone to watch his two year old sister. MTV had to put a warning for Beavis and Butthead claiming you could die and even worse deported.
FOR STOKEY THE BEAR - The episode ends with Stokey being sent to Chicago so that he can be to blame for The Great Chicago fires of 1871 that were originally blamed on an old woman named Catherine O'Leary.
As far as the Flintstones cigarette commercial goes, you've got to know that the Flintstones was not a kids show during its run. Hannah Barbara originally aired the Flintstones on ABC prime time television around 8:30 at night in 1960 with adults as the targeted audience. The idea was to use animation as a way to create more elaborate sitcoms without the limitations traditional sitcoms have. If you watch the show, you can see some of those adult sitcom tropes such as Wilma having a baby, Fred having a gambling addiction, Barny and Betty having trouble conceiving a child, Fred and Wilma sharing a bed and even Barny almost commiting suicide. It wasn't until the show was rerun that kids could watch it. As for why Fred and Barney are smoking, It was fairly normal for characters from sitcoms to shill their sponsor's products on TV and Winston was sponsoring the show during its run. The Flintstones were basically doing what every other TV sitcom was doing. By the time the Flintstones was being aired as a kids show, these commercial segments would have been removed as Winston was no longer sponsoring the show. So no, the Flintstones were not shilling cigarettes to kids, they were shilling cigarettes to adults.
But let's not downplay the fact that until legislation told them they couldn't, cigarette companies very definitely used cartoon characters to appeal to kids. They just wouldn't publicly say that their slogan was essentially "hook em young."
Enjoying the series. Something I want to note is that even though it was a cartoon and we today think most cartoons are made for children "The Flinstones" and many early cartoons were not made directly for them. It was an adult show at first like a animated version of "the Honeymooners". Most TV was for adults in the 50's. Kids just also watched. And they advertised to the family members with money. So the parents.
I feel lucky to have seen some of these live. Like the fairly odd parents and spongebob episodes! The writing on tv shows used to be so good. Even as an adult those episodes are objectively strong lol
Blood seems to be something animations try to avoid depicting as much as possible (usually if there is "blood" it's fake blood/ketchup). The violence in Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry may be pretty violent but i guess are considered "okay" because Cartoon Physics/the characters are shown mostly intact even after everything they went through, so maybe that's why "showing a bleeding, cut finger" was banned?
Yes, actually I think that movie/series ratings call it "cartoony violence". They do the most ridiculous things with the most ridiculous outcomes that are loosely based on what it would do in real life, but nobody gets hurt, shows pain and is at perfect state next shot
Very strange though. Don't know how it is in the US but where i they aired dragonball and DBZ in the afternoon and i remember seeing krillin die in Dragonball and goku getting getting shoot through the stomach, freezer blowing people up. Yet everything else was censored here. We didn't even got the original 2 doom games until 2010
I'm surprised how many of the Cartoon Network banned episodes I remember seeing. Something about those even seem to stand out more in my memory, so I guess something about them did stick with me over many years.
Can confirm that Pingu's Lavatory Story was intact on Swedish VHS releases that were available in the late 90s. I distinctly remember the exact parts you say were edited out. Too bad I don't still have the tapes :(
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen someone come out with a 2+ hour video (that wasn’t a space documentary) that actually acknowledges some people might find this in the algorithm and not get offended but actually makes the video quieter and calmer so the people that did pass out stay asleep. I mean the way the video edited alone and the information you had made me come back but the absolute respect had me coming back when I woke up to finish the rest of the video.
For Stokey the Bear, Thats a reference to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The lady and her cow are a reference to Mrs. OLeary, the woman commonly blamed for the fire, though a man named Louis Cohn confessed to accidentally starting the fire years later. At the time, the streets of Chicago were made of wood, which meant when the fire was over it left about 1/3 of the population homeless. Theres a song we learned in elementary school about the fire. It goes: One Dark Night, When people were in bed, Mrs.OLeary lit a lantern in her shed, The cow tipped it over, then winked its eye and said, "It'll be a hot time in the Old Town tonight!"
If the Buffalo Gals was only aired once, I guess I was fortunate enough to see it! heh I guess this explains why it's so hard for me to find a video clip of it when I try to reference it as a joke.
As a lesbian, buffalo gals is one of the most blatant making fun of lesbians I’ve ever seen. I mean, all these butches on motorcycles break in to literally munch womens carpets? Please. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think it was a little funny though.
- the south park one is annoying. they censored the speech that exactly explained why they would censor that kind of speech. I wish Trey and Matt were more insistent that their work go out un altered and after the panderverse response and the network saying they fully support and wil be embracing the model of Diversity, Equity, and inclusion will mean future projects will probably suffer. I had hoped after they had made it so big and so wealthy with connections that they could make their own network or at least be big enough that they could insist that some network air their stuff without taking away what made it so great to even be worth being picked up on their networks.
i remember watching "a wishful life" and it kinda haunts me. I have depression and for a while suicidal thoughts when i was younger. the episode legit crops up in my memories when things get dark and if it wasn't for my mental health improving and getting to a much better place + therapy, i can't really say it wouldn't have given me ideas. thinking my family would be better off without me was an idea i had even when i was younger and the episode validated those thoughts.
I'm from Brazil and I find the Simpsons episode funny as hell. Brazilians have a "no one can insult our country except ourselves" mentality, which I find very hypocritical. It is stereotypical, yes, but it's not like all those concepts popped up from nowhere. Honestly we have much bigger problems to adress in our lives (and many worse portrayals of Brazil as well) to care about, TV Globo was just being petty like they always are.
And it's not like the episode was banned in the entire country. I have clear memories of watching it on FOX. Also, most people probably watched the dub, so the accent was literally not an issue.
I know very little about Brazil, but I can imagine the stereotypes might have annoyed some people. I do know that Brazilian women tend to be some of the sexiest and beautiful women in the world. I also include Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Hindu, Japanese, Korean, Finnish, Algerian, Ethiopian, Tanzanian, Polish, American Indians, a whole slew of Latinas (especially Boricuas) Polynesians, Ukraines, Russians, Lapps...there are very few women I don't find attractive. The vast majority of those who I don't find appealing are in constant training for the oppression olympics, and do not even register on my radar except as hazards to be avoided.
what's crazy to me is the Disney has taken down so many older shorts with small moments of violence- but there is still a halloween short up on Disney plus where Donald literally blows up his nephews with dynamite because he's annoyed they knocked on his door while trick or treating. They've taken down shorts from the same universe for much less.
I wouldn’t say that lmao people only say that’s bc what they really wanna say sounds more fucked up aka saying they don’t want gay to be shown to their kids which is vaild everyone has their own opinion and rights but really they shouldn’t spread hate or insults
It's a brainwash psyop. As a kid I saw a bs scene where the show drake and Josh where Josh kisses drake in the mouth on the nickelodeon network. Wtf is that???? You see what they want to push in the youth. God knows what's happening now. I feel bad for the kids now. I heard a school removed a tampon machine in the bathroom of a boys room. You see what these evil people do. It's clearly an evil agenda.
i'm honestly surprised that the south park fire episode wasn't on this, when shelley sets stan on fire and pours water on him over and over and because cc didn't want viewers to try to recreate it they cut the scene completely and now when you watch it there is a strange cut to stan laying on the floor covered in water for no reason
In Rude Removal, it's most probable that the uncensored version didn't have edited in words, rather it was actually the uncensored original version. When voice actors voice lines with the intention of words being bleeped out, they actually say the words because not saying them would interrupt the flow of the sentence structure and make it sound "cut off."
The thing about Nathan Fielder’s Starbucks gag was despite the laws being on his side, they still shut him down for a legal technicality (not allowed to serve food at an art exhibit). Big corporations have such good lawyers that the company animators probably didn’t want to spend the time and money battling over a lawsuit.
Kwarantined Krab wasn't made during the pandemic; animation takes *way* longer than that. It was "confirmed" in 2019 and the completed version was delivered in early January of 2020, before the lockdowns started. It's a case of what TV Tropes calls Animation Lead TIme; it was probably in production for several months if not a year before it was completed and then banned.
