Another thing about Ace in Gorillaz- in the Powerpuff girls movie there's a shot of a newspaper and one of the ads is for a Gorillaz concert. So Gorillaz and PPG seem to be set in the same universe.
Also Noodle has stated that Bubbles is her favorite and 2D is seen wearing a Mojo Jojo shirt in a piece of art (These were both in the first phase of Gorillaz), I heard that the creator of Powerpuff girls is a friend of Jamie and Damon
The enchiridion title card was actually a thing where the artists drew it really graphic and kept drawing versions of it with less and less blood and gore until it became the one we got.
Yeah in an interview they mentioned that the network wouldn't let them show Finn holding a knife towards Jake, so the made a super gory one so they would make them "tone it down" to the original one they wanted
What always disappointed me is that the original one was the only title card they uploaded in low resolution to Flickr - obviously for good reason, but it was so hilarious to me that they drew it like that solely to try and get a knife into their intended card
One thing that's extremely weird about the whole "beast boy turns into a cow" thing is that beast *boy* is you know, obviously a dude, so why the heck did the cow have udders and obviously the question everyone might ask is was that even actually milk?
13:07 - I am happy to report that the lost Johnny Bravo X Dragon Ball Z episode has been found as of May 14th 2023 (this week at the time of this comment), 23 years after it was lost. The full 25 minutes is now available to watch as an archived video (I tried to link it here, but my initial comment seems to have been removed by RU-vid due to the link), found through a link in a May 2023 Kotaku article about the episode (article titled, "Lost Johnny Bravo, Dragon Ball Z Episode Found After 23 Years [Update]").
It amazes me with how common famous people, big companies, and most show business are deep in sexual assault and abuse towards women. Then there’s Cartoon Network who’s sin is just having very adult minds and dark humor that’s not age friendly towards kids. Mad respect.
@@rushpatriot2866 Actually its mostly men that mock and do not believe male victims. On videos where men share their stories or videos of boys that got groomed and assaulted by their female teachers..You see men either praising them, saying "be honest this is every guys fantasy" or saying it didnt happen..And tons of women saying they know men irl who have talked about their assault and didnt even know or believe that what happened to them was horrible and wrong and illegal on the older persons part. So this is just untrue and also derailing the point OP was making.. Yes, it happens. Way more than we realize. But men are the ones that are quick to deny it, because they are taught to always want it and to not cry or share their emotions or be weak. Not women trying to block it out or call them liars or trying to silence male victims But bottom line, this was just a really unnecessary and untrue comment, and its interesting to me how there is ALWAYS a guy shouting over ANYONE who brings up women being abused (esp in this case where it was just a passing mention of how Nickelodeon and Disney are FAMOUS for lettin horrible people work for them knowingly and how many women and children were taken advantage of and abused (dan schneider, john kricfalusi etc) in these cases its mostly females coming out about their story BUT john kricfalusi also groomed boys and dan schneider would give the underage stars (boys and girls) alcohol
@수키 suki nah they weren't the only people supporting him were men. That's why people like cardi b get away with it. Every dude you talk will take it seriously unless they're 10 which is most of TikTok and the majority of guys that are decently attractive have been assaulted. I know you like spreading sexism and all but this is a serious matter nobody has time for your brain dead selfishness.
@@Nabiiaayikes it's funny you think it's mainly men lmao ofc u , a female is sayin this 😂 watch videos of women laughing at a man getting assaulted by his girlfriend 🤦🏿 if it was a girl they wouldn't , stfu
The whole "should kids be introduced to racism" debate makes no sense. Do those people think kids just don't experience racism? Have they never heard how middle schoolers talk to each other?
A lot of parents and adults try to protect the “innocence” of children by not exposing them to complex issues and dark topics. Ironically, kids either recreate dark or complex behaviors by either coincidence, some sort of neurological/psychological (some may say spiritual) influence, or external influence like how they’re raised or what they find on the internet.
Seriously. I remember a white kid running around the playground saying the n-word when i was in 3rd grade. And another white boy told me i was ugly in middle school because my skin was the color of his poop. Like yeah, im talking to my kids about racism as soon as they can understand the basic concept.
right. i experienced racism in intermediate school (3rd-5th grade). The little kids on my bus curse like sailors when their parents aren't around. POC have to teach their kids about racism, especially since we might experience it and not know it. Kids are not as innocent or dumb as people think they are; some are, but many of them are not. Kids also learn racism inside their homes, influenced by parents.
same for me with destroy build destroy, made me want to design something, and i forgot about that show completely and just like he said all the memories flooded into my head like he just popped a dam wall inside my brain
I remember as a kid, Cartoon Network was considered the darker and weirder cartoon channel and Nick was the more mainstream and wholesome one. How wrong people were
I went to a friends house when I was 6-7 and put on Cartoon Network and my friends mum raged screamed and yelled that it was evil and to turn it off she didn’t like me after that…
Surprised what wasn't included was in the Regular Show episode "Meat Your Maker", Mordecai crossed his arms at Rigby and said "You pissed me off", but then they later edited it to "You ticked me off"
Cause that show is straight trash like idky they did it cause I was maybe in my preteens or mid teens when this happened and did find it very annoying and why I even decided to watch an episode *facepalm*
I remember seeing that Dexter's Lab episode where they were cursing somewhere on TV. I remember it playing out with bleeps but you understood they were cursing. CN says they never aired it but I truly believe it was a one-and-done
It definitely aired me and my brothers remembered watching it and this was a day before we went into foster care so it still was fresh in my mind and became a memory
Same! I asked my brother about it without the context of it “never being aired” and he remembers it too, mainly because it was one of the only times we both wanted to watch the same thing on TV.
One that I also want to bring attention to is the case of Paul Boyd, who worked on the show Ed edd n Eddy that was shot and killed by police in Vancouver. Don't know the specifics but they said he was creating a disturbance, one thing lead to another where the police ended up killing him. They even gave him a in memory credit at the end of one of the episodes
I feel like that definitely wasn’t Edd with cornrows but meant to be stringy thinning hair showing he’s balding at a young age which would explain why he never took his hat off. If he took the time and pain to get his hair cornrowed he wouldn’t hide that shit 😂
I remember somewhere fans got to write to characters of different TV shows and someone asked Edd why he wore a hat to which he wrote back "It keeps my brain warm" leading me to believe for years he had an exposed brain.
@@GenericProtagonist118 It's most likely this. The balding/odd hairstyle theory kinda loses validity when you consider that, in one of the episodes where DD loses his hat, Eddy asks him something along the lines of "does it hurt?". Cornrows especially doesn't make sense because it wouldn't fit DD or his parents' character. His parents are implied to be extremely strict (which is why DD is the way he is), so it's unlikely they would want him to have cornrows, and it's not like DD would choose to have cornrows (while using the hat to hide it from his parents) either. It's almost definitely some kind of deformity or injury.
I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone mention the Tobuscus bumpers that existed around the time of the Annoying Orange show (since Tobuscus is a character in that show). One the bumpers even had him turn into his iconic animated design.
Yeah while wired the guy helped make the show and liked the fictional character people draw porn all the time he'll the main character draws Ed edd and eddy porn don't really see it as all that wierd
Seriously tho, everyone had a self insert phase where they shipped themselves with a fictional character. I clearly remember writing Ulrich(Code Lyoko) x Me stories as a kid, and far a long time I wrote bad smut about Ash(Pokemon) x Me when I was like 11. Really nothing weird about it.
@@namecomingsoon9517 Amythest felt like a rebellious teen and older sister to Steven, but like all the other Gem characters she's way older than any living human
There was also a steven universe blackface controversy. Basically, they released a Steven universe artbook, with one of the pages featured concept art for a scraped character. That charater was a black women with big lips, that was descripted to be stupid and unable to read. People got pissed over this and the showrunner had to apologize.
@@sunnivamhagatun she very much is considering how progressive the show is, I think it was just a really bad coincidence that she put that design with those traits 😬
@@KingOfGaymes there’s no way that can be an accident Like, NO WAY I don’t care how “liberal” someone seems People tend to present themselves as better than they actually are to compensate for their more problematic tendencies. But those tendencies slip sometimes. This doesn’t mean they are a bad person, it just means they have some serious problems to work through.
I think it was a bit blown out of proportion considering some of the best characters she created also look like black women ie. garnet / bismuth / amethyst. I do think the character was problematic but definitely not as bad as people made it seem
My issue with the SU bumper (even as a former fan of the show) is how ham-fisted and blunt it honestly was. There are shows out there who do a way better job at introducing kids to such serious and complicated issues. Things like this require some sophistication, you shouldn't rush or sensationalize it. So a minute-long animated clip is a very weird way to go about it, it feels more populist than anything. The show itself wasn't too bad but I'm just _ehhhh_ about those bumpers they made...
"Why did you cancel Chowder?" dude I feel that 💯 that show had some iconic animation and wonderful humor. If there were any 2 Cartoon Network shows I would bring back, it would be Chowder and an extension of the original Teen Titans. Chowder is so special to me and I'm still sad it didn't get more seasons.
I'm from Brazil and they've aired Powerpuff Girls Z in here. I'll tell you: There are some interesting ideas on that show, even though it was not, generally, my cup of tea, likely cause i was not on the demographic it was designed for. I remember each of the girls had their own households with their own families. Buttercup was the only daughter of a masked fighter (wwe-like) and had many brothers. It basically followed the whole magic girl anime genre, nothing much to it.
I remember reading that creators said the reason you don't see adults in the ed edd and eddy is because when you were a kid and the summer vacation started somehow you haven't seen any parents of your friends or just don't remember them.
The purgatory theory is interesting at best, but it very clearly doesn’t line up with all the characters’ proposed timelines. The show was first aired in early 1999, and Jimmy was established as a supporting character during the first episode, so he would not have died in the 2000s if he were already in the Cul-de-sac in 1999.
@@analurangel2396 that’s a fair assumption, but also there’s nothing to suggest Jimmy being from the 2000s either, considering that there’s not anything you could point to about his wardrobe, hairstyle, or mannerisms that would reasonably put him in that time frame. Personally, I feel that he better fits the description of a ‘70s kid, given his clothing style and the fact that he wears headgear, which would have been a lot more common in the decades prior to the 1990s. Jimmy appears to me as someone from post ‘60s, yet not quite of the ‘80s. Personally, Eddy also strikes me as being from the ‘70s, given the aesthetic of his bedroom, as well as his style of clothing (albeit the flashier style of the ‘70s). Though I understand why people like to think of Eddy being from the Great Depression, but his home décor would suggest otherwise.
I believe the Heather boob censorship thing is a part of the script has to come down to the show's premise of it being a reality show like Survivor where things aren't scripted and the plot of the story is pushed by Chris to get more viewers...in the show there were moments that happened organically not at the fault of Chris...so in that case when her top came off the executives and standards and practice in their world have to censor it to not get into troubled or get a higher age restriction...but in our world since its a show targeted towards a teen (possibly preteen ) audience...they made the scene already censored since i assume it be a waste of time to re-edit a scene for a joke that lasted a few frames since animating things cost time and money but keep the joke to make things interesting
I thought powerpuff girls anime was famous in other countries, because here in the Philippines it was really big. Honestly, it was really good because it aired on free tv alongside OG powerpuff. It's actually nostalgic now you've mentioned it.
I mean with that scooby doo theory that just makes shaggy and scooby being a stoner and eating Scooby snacks a lot more depressing when you think about it, but also kind of funny
The Purgatory Theory for the Edd, Ed, and Eddy show actually doesn't work! It doesn't take into account the movie that aired right before the last season, where we do get to meet Eddy's older brother (he sucks). Also, the last season starts with summer ending and all the cul-de-sac kids going to school together. If you want to go down an interesting and weird little rabbit hole, there's also a fandom wiki for a secondary Edd series that never aired. The series is incredibly detailed and the person who wrote it heavily features their own character as one of the main characters.... It's very bizarre.
I remember seeing the DBZ episode of JBVO when it aired. I didn't think to put a tape in the vcr to save it because I was a dumb kid, but I remember just laughing so much at the sped up footage, Johnny doing his "Whoa Mama, look out Goku!" shtick while Frieza was fighting Goku as Namek is just getting more and more desolate was just perfectly fun, and it was condensed into an 11min segment. I would pay good money to see a full release of that again.
I heard that the black and white billy and Mandy episode you showed was actually a school project the creator had to do when he was in school for animation. That was his end of the year project and he later on turned it into a show. So I guess it's kind of a pilot episode, but that's the story from what I heard
There was also a bit of a controversy surrounding Class of 3000 that got the show taken off the air. Apparently the creator of the show had stolen the idea, or at least used one that was extremely similar to, someone that pitched it a few years prior. To avoid the scandal, Cartoon Network eventually just took the entire show off the air. It kind of sucks, because banana zoo is a bop
Dude when i first found out Ace was in Gorillaz, I literally went ape shit. A character from one of my favorite shows as a kid joins my favorite band as a adult. WTF more could I ask for?!?!?!
I was surprised that the Buffalo Gals episode of Cow & Chicken didn't get a mention. I actually saw it the one and only time it aired. Now it's kind of infamous.
As a kid that was born in 2000 I really loved Cartoon Network I loved the 90s shows that carried over to when I was a kid and also that came out when I was a kid I miss these 2000s shows
The dude that created Regular show grew up one town over from my home town...(it's crazy to see the Parks and various places in that show cause I see it IRL) He visits his dad during the holiday you'll see him at the mall Occasionally. HANFORD California
I didn't even exist in the 90's or early 2000's and yet I am obsessed with the shows Cartoon Network had there. I have an Ed Edd n' Eddy hyperfixation as I type and it's not the first time either. I love facts and videos like this where people just talk about those shows. And yes, I am also an enthusiast for Double Dee enigmas(the hat thing isn't the only one).
I remember the total drama scene. It was also aired in Australia since it had cartoon network airing on the weekend. I distinctly remember it uncensored because my grandmother was glancing at the tv, since the kitchen was open concept into the living room, I got reprimanded for it. She banned it in the house, never to watch TD at her house again. Since this always aired at least an hour on the weekend. I had to change the channel or result to disks when I visited. Not really much to go on but my word. But this is a crazy revelation
The total drama island one is real. It’s a Canadian tv show and they don’t have as strict censorship laws so they were able to include cussing and nudity. But they had to censor it for American television, that’s why there’s bleeped out curse words and the boobs.
@@compassionandhumility yeah i think its a little weird, but i dont think it was supposed to be sexual, its a teen camp and it does seem like something that would happen (a girls top coming off and everyone making fun of her) , its just weird to think about lmao
@@compassionandhumility 16 is the most common age of consent in the western world, by quite a margin. Most US states even use 16 as their age of consent. Still kinda weird, sure, but not _illegal_ weird.
Tiers 1 and 2 was just a nostalgic overload, so much came back to me so fast I literally hurt my cheeks smiling at it, and if I am to take a guess as to why much isn't found on CN as far as controversy is because cartoons in the past. A lot of what would be considered controversial today, was done back when people didn't look to deep into it, (ironic I know) but cartoons using profanity, adult references, and racism were depicted in a time that no one bothered to speak out on it.
They did Chowder so dirty, that show was genius and I’m glad I decided to rewatch it as an adult so I could catch all the crude humor I didn’t understand before lol
Pearl looks young to you? She looks like she in her mid 20's. The segment this comment was made from was removed [I guess] so just ignore this comment.
@@2ndpartycrasher954 idk if he cut it out, but it was originally the E.T finger guy, him talking about a guy drawing images of pearl [here was the origin for this comment], then sugar drawing Ed Edd and eddy. But now it's gone, it had to be there at some point because 37 people agreed with me and 1 comment that he thought she was mid 30's.
It would appear that CN only employs voice actors to do "kid" roles, whereas, the other networks you mentioned, have kids and adolescents as their common employees. Perhaps that's the CN game changer? BTW - THE NOW NOW is one of my favorite albums of the last 7 years....but I didn't know the tidbit.
The only thing about the Steven Universe thing that doesn't make sense to me is that fans of the show literally "simp" for the characters and draw their own OCs with them and that's seen as fine but when the creator who built the character from the ground up does it, it's considered weird.
Fans creepily sexualizing underaged cartoon characters is seen as normal, but a cartoonist doing it is somehow salacious! Classic double standard. Some Cartoonists draw beautiful adult content, my comissioin from a former Disney animator in he 70's/80's (so ya the detailed stuff from when Don Bluth worked there) cost me $500. Rebecca Sugar's choice of subject being children is concerning however, cause yes context and subject are important!
Its mainly because modern day fandom doesn't see the creators of these shows as actual human beings who own and have authority over their creations and just see them as content machines or their 'friends' who they can treat anyway they want. Plus back then there was a way bigger seperation of communication between the fandom and the creators, in our day and age with Twitter and other social media sites its too easy for some random fan to talk to their favorite creator and know more about them, therefore making it easier to harass them.
@@ripleyandweeds1288 That is a pretty big contributor also the age of the fans contributes as many are teens or young adults. People who have yet to grow out of wild hormone swings and the general narcissism most people suffer at that age (you feel the world revolves around you, that only you have REAL emotions) and social media platforms like Twitter feed that mind set. The fan comes to believe they have a Right to the creator's time, a right to make demands and the creator is required to fulfill thier demands for free. Creators who listen to these toxic fans frankly ruin thier projects and ones who make projects aimed to incite that kind of fandom create bad projects. I feel like Steven Universe and Adventure Time tried way to hard to appeal to the Twitter/Tumbler crowd in later seasons, the message got in the way of the story. Though CN's worst crimes are still Teen Titans Go, Thundercats Roar and the Powerpuff Girls reboot, they made these shows because they where cheap and it's easy to make memes from them.
@Dxity Oh it's pretty common in a lot o fandoms, fans simp for the character and become overly emotionally attached to the idea of who they think the character is and make a OC as the character's perfect partner. Of course said OC is a thinly veiled self insert. These fans will flip out of the creator introduces a love interest for the character they simp after. In every fandom there are people who impose thier own version of the characters and will absolutely lose it if you question it or then show doesn't go the way they want. There are rill Harry Potter fans who HATE Ron Weasley because they wanted to see Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson as a couple. Once Hasbin Hotel finally comes out soooooo many fans wll lose their shit because it isn't exactly what they expected and the characters don't pair off
5:17 Actually, this is incorrect. Aniplex DOES have the distribution rights to FMA, Kill La Kill, and Gurren Laggan in North America, but they weren't the ones who created it. In fact, they didn't actually create any of those anime. (They may have had production credits on some, but other studios actually CREATED the anime) Fullmetal Alchemist was made by Studio Bones, Kill La Kill by Studio Trigger, Gurren Laggan by Gainax, Gintama was made by Sunrise (and only the DVDs were distributed by Aniplex), and Bleach is by Pierrot with Viz Media handling the distribution in NA (though Aniplex did handle the DVDs in Japan). Aniplex does own CloverWorks and A-1 Pictures, so some of THOSE anime you might be familiar with are: Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, Seven Deadly Sins, Darling in the Franxx, Kaguya-sama, Bunny Girl Senpai, My Dress-Up Darling, and most recently, Spy X Family. 17:21 I'm pretty sure the uncensored version is fake, especially when you consider that there have been people who have made very convincing Total Drama content in the past. (I think some people almost made an actual season of the show themselves once too) I believe I also heard once that someone who worked on the show confirmed that the uncensored version was fake. Also, looking at the censored version, it doesn't look like a censored image added on, rather it looks like an effect that was just tracked on top of the shot. Like, it seems that the pixels just flip between random variations of her skin tone without reason, whereas if it was a pixel filter, you'd most likely see darker pixels near her nipples and lighter everywhere else. Also worth noting is that none of the pixels ever turn black (her outline color) or blue (the background color), seemingly indicating that the pixels are a separate asset overlaid on top of her instead of being a real blur filter. Now, they probably DID actually draw her breasts, but they probably didn't add nipples (kinda like a Barbie doll) because you know, they wouldn't be shown. Now if you choose to believe that the uncensored version with nipples is real, I probably can't convince you otherwise, but looking at everything we have available to us, I don't believe it is. (I think some streaming platforms even have the Canadian version of the show and it's still censored there.) 28:00 I mean, yeah, that's pretty fucking weird, but a LOT of artists who make it big started out by or have at some point drawn porn. Hell, most of the people in the anime and manga industry have drawn porn before going on to make wildly successful series, so it's not a stretch in the slightest for that to also be a thing in the western cartoon industry.
14:20 We literally can't have basic slime/whip cream/milk gags anymore because of people who take cartoons too seriously and immediately think "haha funny bodily fluids that's inappropriate" lmao
I remember (though I've had a hard time finding the statement recently) hearing that the reason Chowder was canceled was because it "encouraged childhood obesity" during a time when our government was pushing for healthy eating during Obamas presidency. Not sure if it's true, but no matter the case I'm disappointed, especially knowing a Chowder movie was potentially in the work
dude that TDI scene is real i vividly remember it, that shit burnt itself into my brain also its not purgatory its basically debunked by the finale where they actually leave the cul-de-sac and meet eddy's brother he's always talking about
8:36 thats wild but the reason why comes down to budget. Chowder was a beautiful show that cost a lot to produce with its art style, annoying orange is just eyes and mouths on household objects
Yikes. I'm not one who is unsettled by gore. In fact, it's one of my favorite art genres. But that title card of Finn murdering Jake was pretty upsetting. The small details show that this wasn't just a stab, it's torture and mutilation. One hand is missing, the other is degloved, Jake's eye is gouged out, along with a portion of his brain. Whether this is real or not, it's pretty sick.
From what ive heard it was something that was real, but never meant to be used. Animation studios will slip things like that in to see if their editors are doing their job thorough enough, and catching things that shouldn't be in.
It is real, just drawn over for the title card. It was just rage art from the artist since I think they were not having a good day. It's kinda common for storyboard jams and other things like that passed around in animation studios.
@@lemonpepperwingz4351 I can understand that. Same with the topless shot. I could totally see burned out animators passing this sort of thing around the office as catharsis. As fun as it sounds on paper (heh) animation is a very tedious and unrewarding industry. If I was working there, I'd be illustrating fucked up shit like that, too. Heck, I normally do that sort of thing for fun, anyway.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Evil Con Carne at all. It had some disturbing stuff there: 1. In the pilot, the show's protagonist, a talking brain, was chewed and spat by a soldier. 2. General Skarr, a popular character, is rumoured to be based off Nazis, although it was never confirmed that he actually was a Nazi. When he was introduced in Billy and Mandy, he made a salute similar to what the Nazis did. In the episode "Emotional Skarr", he wears a hat with an eagle that is similar to the one used by Nazis in propaganda. 3. Whenever there was an action scene in ECC, sometimes you could see General Skarr's bones visible, probably dislocated. 4. The show sometimes had a certain dog whose name I forgot. In "Ultimate Evil" he was eaten by a bear and was never seen again. 5. In the final episode's credits, Skarr was executed after a failed siege on London. He asked the executioner if he could be saved, but he answered that he "ran out of luck". The execution was not seen. 6. In the show's intro, it is said that Skarr likes to kick puppies. In the Billy and Mandy video game, he actually confirmed it. 7. Speaking about the video game, the brain's bear, Boskov, whom he used as a replacement body, makes a cameo in one of the stages, where he was used as a rug. This could mean that by the time ECC was over in favour of Grim Adventures, Boskov was hunted and made into a rug. If I'm not mistaken, Hector, the brain, also appears in that cameo, also dead. 8. Skarr's skin was peeled off by Boskov in "The Right to Bear Arms". You could see Skarr's muscles beneath the ripped skin. In that same episode, by the way, Skarr and Boskov's arms were switched by accident, so in order to get them back in their proper characters, a chainsaw was used. 9. I theorize that in Billy and Mandy's Christmas episode, Skarr made an Eichmann reference. Adolf Eichmann was a Nazi scientist who experimented on Jews. When Eichmann was kidnapped and brought to justice in Israel, he said that, in his defence, he was just doing his job. Skarr, when beaten by mall visitors who believed him to be the true Santa, said that "it's just a job!".
I remember that episode of Billy and Mandy where Billy is blind and Grim tries to make him see again, and at one point he gives Billy "real" eyes. And the way the way he looks it's creepy and the stuff he sees with the eyes is as well.
Fun fact: there's a Billy and Mandy episode where you know how Mandy usually says something before each show,there's one where she directly quotes alister Crowley [big advocate of satanism] 'do what thou wilt' meaning do whatever you want. No matter the consequences
Does anyone remember that rugrats episode where they had Tommy putting a lizard in his diaper? What drives the team behind a cartoon for kids to project that stuff onto them, man?
I remember the mooninite thing and it was so damn embarrassing. Most of the avaerage people just thought it was the MIT college students doing stuff again around the area, they are known for doing tech based pranks all over the area. It took one person to blow it into something off the walls and just domino effect into stupidity.
I seriously doubt the skinwalker theory simply on account of the fact that John R. Dilworth is just a strange, quirky man. He liked scaring children, even said outright that "kids are fascinated by things that scare them" and he could take advantage of that with his cartoon. He wanted to create a setting and world that was believable but scary, nothing more really.
The topless heather scene is legit. I used to travel to Canada when I was younger to visit my grandparents and cousins, and I saw that exact episode when it aired.
Also to go with the Rebecca Sugar prawn thing, she also drew some weird Invader Zim stuff; Gir with a gun is a very spicy creation from her own two Christian hands
I remember the topless Heather episode of Total Drama, I was blurred on TV but I remember watching it when i was like 10 or 11 and then glaring at my little brother like "Do NOT tell mom what you just saw"
I'm surprised nobody ever mentions the me-mow adventure time controversy. Allegedly they stole the character and made a fake contest to cover their tracks.
Cartoon network and nickelodeon was the channels to have. Nick kinda pushed everyone to CN every year with their "go out side and play" thing. I'm sure people just changed the channel to CN and Disney lol but cartoon network had the best cartoons throughout the years. Nowadays they have 2 or 3 shows that are good. They use to have SU but now I think it's Gumball, We bare bears,, and Craig of the Creek.
yknow when i was like cartoon network age (like 2008-10) they ran one called chop socky chooks that theyre tryna pretend never existed, apart from being just generally a bit racist they had such gross themes like one where they were investigating these popular milkshakes and discovered it was made from human liposuction fat
In mentioning bumpers like the Cartoon Network City one, there was also the short film that (I think was split into bumpers or just aired as one short) called The Scooby Doo Project which was a parody of the Blair Witch Project. Then years later to promote the hella forgotten show, The Secret Saturdays, there were multiple "found-footage" cryptid attack/sighting bumpers that felt like they could've been ripped straight from Lost Tapes. As for other icebergs, you did mention Adult Swim/Toonami (maybe split into two and encompass some popular anime in general with Toonami or combined), which could be fun to do in progressing from Cartoon Network. You also do true crime content on streams, so you could combine pop culture media and true crime cases like the Invader Zim Dark Harvest murder and Randy Stair/Ember's Ghost Squad along with any other film/media "inspired" cases (Child's Play 3, Scream, etc.).
Or the time when Cartoon Network was taken over by aliens and how they teased it at first by using found footage type video of a little kid telling his dad that there were aliens outside his window.
Honestly relieved you couldn't find much on Cartoon Network! When I heard you were doing a iceberg video on them I was like uh oh lol. Thanks for all the research you do! Keep it up ✌️😄
I DEFINITELY remember seeing that “unaired” Dexter’s Lab episode on TV!! They’re lying OR it’s a Mandela effect💀 And the TTDI topples Heather episode too!
Powerpuff girls Z was the what introduced me into anime I remembered blowing off my summer school work to just sit in-front of the computer and watch it all day. It’s really good I highly recommend it
About the only controversies I can remember off the top of my head are 1. Mega XLR used a tax write-off which put it in legal limbo iirc 2. Carey Means (voice actor for Frylock in Aqua Teen Hunger Force) not getting royalties Anyway, great video. Loved the Ed, Edd, and Eddie stuff.
Can confirm 17:01 was a real thing I actually watched it on TV when tdi was airing Edit: it was pixelated on TV though but that doesn't mean they didn't actually draw Heather topless for that scene
Rude Removal I think was confirmed by Craig McCracken that it was specifically made for the people who worked on Dexter’s Lab, like a gag episode inside joke kinda deal. I think it was internet lore for a long time until he confirmed and someone finally uploaded it. It was never meant to be seen beyond the people who worked on the show
The alternate Ed, Edd, and Eddy theory makes far more sense but is far less cool. Basically the whole show is the elderly Ed, Edd and Eddy recalling thier childhood, but they are so old details have blurred together or become rough. Also the "The Show is the Afterlife" has been applied to everything under the sun. Courage also has a "softer" theory that explains it better, the show is all from Courage's perspective. Muriel and Eustus are so elderly that rarely leave the house, so Courage feels like he's isolate from the world. All the monsters and just visitors, sales men, people passing out Relegious material etc.
I'm surprised that BionicPig didn't mention the programming block Miguzi or that time Cartoon Network aired Jurassic Park 3 Yes, that happened and I was there for it
18:21 I feel like it's pixelated for a different reason. Keep in mind that the intent of TDA is to mimic reality TV, aka the show Survior. I think that they pixelated the scene because that's usually how reality TV censors nudity (either with black bars or pixelation).
PPGZ was super popular in Mexico for young girls when it came out. They girls weren't sisters and professor had a son. It wasn't as cool as the original but it was pretty unique. Also low key did not like how they turn miss bellum into a blonde
You should mention how Robot Chicken creator Seth Green was called out by ex friend Isac Kappy for having a secret room in his house where he would abuse "chicken". Makes the title of his show much more creepy, not to mention what they're doing to that chicken in the opening credits
This video came out 1 minute ago, I can't wait to see what a cartoon network scandal looks like, if there even is one lol I don't think the channel is perfect but definitely number 1 when compared to Disney & Nickelodeon.
I think what helps with Cartoon Network not being as controversial is two things: having a dedicated block to adult media unlike Nick and Disney who resort to making creepy adult jokes in children's shows constantly; and their shows being made by a larger variety of studios and creators. Having guys like John K and Dirty Dan Schneider running like over half of Nick's content put them more in the spotlight and further under deserved scrutiny.
Closest thing to controversy this channel ever had was the incident with LED mooninite lights put in Boston to celebrate the release of the Aqua teen movie. But besides that there were a few scandals with the creator of Steven universe, and one involving the creator of Clarence
@@maliksmith1204 I agree with you. The Steven Universe scandals being the worst of it is actually quite miraculous. It's more so cringey than heinous. The ATHF incident is more of a misunderstanding than any insensitivity.
What about the Ed, Edd and Eddie "lost video" where Jimmy has a nightmare where everyone gets abducted and he tries to save Sarah before she gets nabbed? Jimmy wakes up to see Ralph's weird ass poking his head outta his house before the alien light beams outta his house. 👽👀👽
I don’t think what was a “lost” episode because wasn’t it part of a block of five different shows having an alien based episode where each one led in to the other?
14:20 ngl Teen Titans Go is lowkey one of the funniest shows to be on CN it just took me a decade to get older and realize the humor. Specifcally in Robin
bro there was a adventure time episode.. or scene i dont remember, it scared me SO much i started crying and showed my mom and she forbid me to watch adventure time since this happened 😭😭 i still continued watching it secretly tho
