the teletubby hill was actually flooded by the owner, she got sick of people trespassing it so she decided to flood the entire place and turn it into a pond
The reason why Teletubbies is so disturbing to people who aren’t toddlers is because it was designed for toddlers through a bunch of psychological research. Yes, they did scientific research and stuff on how to make a show appealing for toddlers.
Fun fact: The Teletubbies are over 6 feet tall. Po (red) is 6 feet 6 inches. Laalaa (yellow) is 6 feet 5 inches tall. Dipsy (green) is 8 feet tall. Tinky Winky (purple) is 10 feet tall.
Fun fact: the area it was filmed in was actually flooded due to trespassing. The landowner had enough of people breaking onto their land to explore it, so they just flooded the area
I blocked this out of my memory as a child, but the moment I heard the words "It's the bear... It's the bear..." I could feel the fucking dread I felt as a kid all over again. This episode haunted me.
I had horrible nightmares as a kid of the bear and lion! I distinctly remember seeing this for the first time and running through my house traumatised by it! I was probably 4 years old??
Huh, I guess that makes sense. I remember I was much older when I saw teletubbies, I actually felt too old to be watching it. But I never saw this episode either.
Honestly the fact that the lion and the bear was banned internationally makes me jealous cuz i clearly remember watching it and being terrified the fact that i had to endure that trauma before it was banned is upsetting to me 😭
This reminds me of one episode of Pingu, where he has a nightmare and encounters a walrus. My little brother was so freaking scared of that walrus.... and I just now googled it and I must say, I can't blame him :') that thing is creeeeepy!
Yeah, I remember this episode, I think I watched it at my grandma's. But I don't remember to be scared by it. However I now recognize that the lion's eyes are... Very creepy.
4:46: Denise Noe wrote a book called “Teletubbies: On the Screen and Behind the Scenes”, which answers what the Tubby Toast is made from, along with dozens more questions that we’ve been asking ourselves.
I'm 21 now but when I was 4, that episode scared me so much. What's worse is that it just casually aired here in the Netherlands, and the Dutch voices were so creepy already.
@@CalmestRaccoon hah, I didn’t know I had this memory but you rekindled it. I watched it too, and that was the first time I had a grim fascination with something that I couldn’t look away from, but also kinda disturbed me.
13:51 those boats actually terrified me, but it was less the boats but more of the valley being flooded with water with creepy drain noises playing prior to the boats showing up. I still have recurring nightmares of inescapable rising waters at 23 years old and i think that episode was a precursor to it
I can remember this episode terrifying me as a child. The part where the bear comes out from behind a bush and her eyes and tongue move around really freaked me out. Then when the lion came on screen and started growling, I screamed and ran out of the room. I think the only reason I remember this scene so vividly is because to this day, nearly 25 years later, my parents still occasionally bring it up and laugh about it...
THIS. EXACTLY. I remember having this conversation with my parents and they were laughing about how scared i was because of this show segment, it really brought back a lot of subconscious memories. I eventually looked it up in UA-cam years later and shat myself laughing. The show aired in my country when i was 1-4 years old so yeah, it was really disturbing back then for a toddler.
Same here. I was around 2.5 years old when I first saw it. Sure, I got scared as a toddler, but I didn't run away screaming. My mom though, noticed I was stunned silenced and knew something was off... 😅😅😅 She didn't stop me from watching Chucky, Scream, Jaws, and Piranha at 5 years old though...which probably not the best idea considering I'm afraid of puppets and drowning now.
When i was a kid, i remember, everytime that giant windmill spinning, i began to hide and waiting for clues of what will being shown, and started to notice the music changes. And when it come to this and puppet in the house one, i started ran off and turn my tv off immediately. That how much horrifying it was for me. So my parents rented a place and this one girl which was our neighbor, a bit older than me during that time, locked me inside the living room and force me to watch that horror, she put the volume up and it was the worst traumatizing experience in my childhood and started it all
Fun fact: the original ‘tellietubby land’ was on a woman’s farmland. She kept on having people trespassing to see the location. So, to avoid property damage and all that she turned it into a pond. But climate change still sucks.
3:50: That's not what I heard. I remember reading a book called "5,000 Facts About Everything 3", and it actually said that the owner of the farm demolished the Tubbytronic Superdome which had housed the loveable "aliens," just because she was sick and tired of fans trespassing on her land. That's where the reboot series comes into play, after the demolition.
Man, I remember clearly: Every time I noticed this segment was coming, I would hide behind the sofa crying and would be too scared to look again. (My mom had to convince me it was over) I remember at this time there was also a Finding Nemo trailer on a commencial break with the shark smiling with sharp teeth filling the whole screen. It would always be so sudden it was almost a jumpscare.
@@TheBatIsRad6435 I actually love the movie. But back when it was on theaters my dad didn't let me watch it. (I really wanted to, it could have been my first time ever watching a movie on theaters) but then when we were buying the tickets he saw the poster (wich was the same Bruce face from the trailers) and decided I would be afraid during the movie... Oh well, at least I eventually did watch it and it's one of my favorites from Pixar. (sorry if bad English, not my first language)
@@dalila2442 ✌🏻things. 1st what’s cd? 2nd when I was a kid finding Nemo scared me so much. Not only cause of Bruce but also the scenes with the angler fish, the whale, and The barracuda.I was also terrified by the scene where nemo 1st got captured by the scooba diver. I don’t know why thought since the diver was just a human. What makes it weirder is that when I reminder watching scarier things when I was even younger, like 300, Deep blue sea, nightmare on elm street, Grimm brothers, robot chicken, a Bigfoot horror movie that I can’t remember the name of (all I reminder from it was a the plot being the handicap man and some girls in a house in the wood Beijing attacked by big foot, and a scene where he bites off someone’s face) and another movie that I can’t remember the name of but had this creature sticking its tongue in people mouths and making them into monsters. But for some reason I thought nemo was scarier then most of those. What do you think the reason is?
@@TheBatIsRad6435 Maybe just because how massive everything feels compared to the poor small fish, also those are actually things that we know exist in our world, so it makes it a bit more scary, I think... Also I have no idea where the "CD" part came from lol I edited it out now.
Yoo my dad too 😂im fucking 23 now, and when he came to pick me&my man up last week, he scared us by walking up behind us, whispering 'its the beaaarrr' like wtf😂
did you not see they made this creative stuff to simulate lsd effects this show is weird look closely at there eyes looks creepy when they all look at you then there is there voices don't get me started on the voices.
@@Goose22jhyoure right. I showed telletubbies to my 2 year old and she screamed, when i looked at what it was they were all just staring into the screen with their unsettling eyes.
Plot Twist (I guess...) The Teletubbies are a part of some cult and the bear is their god, the Teletubbies being excited about the lion and the bear fighting due to the fact it's some sort of ancient ritual that the Teletubbies seem to like for some reason because it's a battle between a god (the bear) and a mortal, (the lion.)
Making the lion even worse is the color of his irises. They're bright and shiny enough that when he sits in the sun correctly, it looks like they're *glowing* like an actual demon. And I'm 90% sure those pupils were somehow capable of shrinking and growing.
The pengu thing with his dad was an intentional little joke because the males care for the eggs until they hatch while the females do the things generally thought to be dealt with by the males, like hunting, and stuff
@@CatholicCarlismEnjoyer true but you can't deny the fact that humans (males) created the patriarchy and when you look at animals, the male/female roles on humans don't make any sense
@@CatholicCarlismEnjoyer Everyone has a mother. Everyone on the planet was either pushed or cut out of a woman, often resulting in the death of said woman. Don't call feminism "Nonsense" just because you disagree with it. Those "TriGgeREd fEmIniST CrINGe" videos that 14yo boys eat up on youtube like candy, don't equate to the majority of the Feminist movement. That would be like if people called every men's rights activist an Incel.
@@cal5566 We're just normal people irl, we've probably already met. Do you think everyone's online personalities reflects their actual life? Unless they're an internet troll, in that case, they probably don't have one.
In my head canon the actor just briefly breaks character after being presented with the lion's unreadable face and body language and intense, fixed stare
You can tell that a lot of kids, teens and adults nowadays are still like this since they find almost all show toddler friendly show CREEPY, SCARY etc XD
@@Lee-cr6xb it's probably to do with how horror films often like to take things associated with childhood- clowns and dolls, for example- and subvert the attitude we had towards them. Well, it's that and if you stop to overthink any children's show, you'll realize very quickly that none of it makes sense, but it was never meant to. The target audience are at an age where most of them don't have any sense of object permanence.
as a kid, I couldn't stand how long the kid activity segments were. Like, I don't give a shit about random kids doing things, just show me the Teletubbies!!
This is literally childhood trauma that I completely forgot about lol. The moment you showed a clip of the lion and the bear I instantly remembered it and realized how creeped out I was by it as a little kid.
I remember them but it wasn't scary for me... Well as a kid that literally grew up watching hokuto no Ken, city hunter and such along with Teletubbies i think i had other thing to be scared at lol
Being the target audience back then, I say those ships where indeed scary. Toddlers actually do enjoy watching the whole thing all over again, that’s their thing, repeating stuff over and over. I heard that they destroyed the original hill and created that pond because people kept invading the area to take pictures and the owner wasn’t happy about it.
I had completely forgotten about the ships until he showed a clip and it immediately triggered something in my brain. They were very ominous. The way the grassy hills just suddenly get flooded and the ships turn up out of nowhere silently from the low angle is just uncanny. Then they just sail about unnaturally for a couple of minutes and disappear off frame. All just so weird.
the boats creep me out now tbh. they're coming at you in a surreal way that boats don't normally move in and they're too clean looking. its a uncanny valley thing that I didn't even know existed.
this actually makes me feel so relieved im not the only one who was scared af of this segment as a toddler!! I deadass had nightmares of the bear and yes i would run away from the tv any time this came on!! I never knew until now how many other kids were like me and that this got so blown up they made this episode and segment banned! crazy how they put this in a kids show XD
I think it’s crazy that I actually remember this segment from when I was a baby/ very young child. I remember hardly anything from that show, I was so young. But as soon as I saw the thumbnail a deep memory was unlocked. I remember it so vividly. It was unsettling and it still is. I am German tho but I guess the German dub was just as unsettling.
Yeah I also remember this! Though I also do remember one episode where they were watching a video about the color pink and they kept repeating the word "pink", which I always wanted to rewatch (might have been a clue to my homosexuality though lol)
WAIT DUDE. I GET IT NOW GOD IS THE SUN Always there when you can't see them, and like a cosmic giggling baby face with jaundice, they provide no advice, no understanding- they just keep smiling. Always guaranteeing a new day. I had more, but I lost my train of thought. Got spooked by a pigeon. They have wrinkly pink dinosaur feet, wings like backward arms that don't have hands, and beaks are two big orange teeth. Hollow bones. Hollow eyes.
This unleashed a horrible repressed memory I didn’t even remember having. It put me off watching the show whatsoever just in case it would come back on.
Me tooooo! Once I dared to watch it again, it was all going well until it appeared again in their bellies, I was horrified, thought the lion and the bear were everywhere lol, thanks UA-cam.
Jesus christ. “I’m the bear, I’m the bear and I’m coming” activated my fight or flight response. I saw a comment on tiktok mentioning this sketch and it rang a bell so I looked it up and landed here. This unlocked a memory so deep I don’t even remember how I felt about watching this as a kid but it must have been bad because it’s triggering my anxiety as a 27 year old 💀
The fight or flight response I felt watching this was so real, at age 25 a sketch from a kids TV show had me freaked out. Even as a child watching this I knew something wasn't right.
As someone who still loves the show since my early childhood, I don't find what you said funny in the slightest, compared to the jokes in the video which were actually funny.
Think they could've skipped doing teeth to the lion. Even the bear looks more okay than it because somehow it has no teeth but a weird tongue. Yet, both are predators and neither of them live in the same habitat so.. idk the whole concept of it seems messy lol
Bruuuuh, I could remember nothing of this show, but as soon as I heard that "I'm the bear, I'm the bear" some sort of suppressed memory came back reminding me how terrified I was when I saw that as a kid
And like, there are already plenty of things people dislike about the teletubbies ( They're annoying, they look weird, etc). People didn't need to make some weird conspiracy theory about how Tinky Winky wants to turn your kids gay
Yeah, I distinctly remember that episode from Teletubies. Mostly because that night I randomly woke up and when I looked down the hall, the lion had its head around the corner. I was 5 or so at the time, scared the crap out of me, never seen it since but it is in my memory forever.
The scariest thing in that show when i was smaller was the vacuum i have autism and the noise freaked me out and in some episodes he did reall inappropriate stuff
I was terrified of the boats as a toddler/little kid. It was even the “threat” my mom would give when I wasn’t behaving. Like “if you don’t eat your vegetables, I’m going to get the boats. Oh! I hear them coming!” I’d all but forgotten that until you showed that clip.
@@geekygamergirl7259 Yeah, threaten you with a thing, then take you to see the thing in real life having completely forgotten because it was just a way to get you to behave, then wondering why they seem to think they've done something wrong and aren't acting right all day. Just to tell them 'Oh you're just being silly~' even after nightmares start up again.
I vividly remember being terrified of this as a toddler. The bear especially, it was the arms. I had nightmares about it. I loved the cgi dancing teddy though, that was my favourite.
I had nightmares for MONTHS about the lion! Probably the worst fear I've had in my life, couldn't get its creepy face and eyes out of my 3 year old mind xD
@@EbacArranges I guess I was lucky to have been raised by those hippies down on Sesame Street. Now I want to put sesame street into my gps so I can ask my Garmin, "Can you tell me how to get to sesame street?"
Me too omg. The eyes and the arms, the stare, the fact that the voice didn't seem to be actually coming from either animal... I was pretty freaked by the cgi bear too. I feel weird and anxious watching it back now 👀
I remember ONLY watching this show ONCE because my dad refused to rent a VHS copy of Pokemon from Blockbuster when I was 5 because the Pokemon saying their names was "too stupid." He proceeded to rent the Teletubbies for me because THAT was smart. Probably the biggest dissapointment of my life
@@backwardsbandit8094 I have to disagree with that one - I watched _Teletubbies_ *ad nauseum* as a child, but I’m one of the smartest people in my family. But I guess that’s just my personal experience.
I remember seeing this when it first aired, I must've been about 4. It didn't scare me at all, I actually enjoyed it! I remember it was the first time the Teletubbies weren't boring. Mind you, at that age I liked watching more horror-based shows like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark so it's no wonder I enjoyed something that terrified my friends lmao
I was one of those terrified kids running out of the room whenever this segment came on. I think the most unsettling part is the shot seen at 11:02. The low camera angle and the sun behind the lion casting long shadows, making his eyes seem to glow on his darkened face, gives it a vibe like something out of a literal nightmare.
I still have vivid memories about how this game me nightmares as a 5 year old, like I’d dream of seeing the bear’s silhouette behind my curtain and hear the lion in the background
Oh god! You as well? I literally had to hide my head beneath my pillows because if I even looked at my door my imagination would always pull towards the bear coming out from behind.
i definitely hated the bear more than the lion because of it's weird side-eye glances, the tongue and the "BOLOLOLO" noises lmaoooo, my brain deffo repressed this memory.
I remember being sat in my living room during the evenings afraid that the bear would come down the stairs. I think the lion was maybe scarier though because I had reoccurring nightmares about something that was basically the lion mixed with the Wheelers from the Wizard of Oz.
This reminds me of a episode of the Moomin valley, a finnish animated series which was very popular here in finland. So the episode was about The Groke. A scary purple monster that makes wierd noises and freezes everything it touches. So the start of the episode wasn't that scary, but in the middle of the episode the Moomin family was playing some poker till someone noticed that the Groke is coming. They all grab weapons and get ready for the Groke. Now this is the part where I was scared af. Spooky music starts to play and out of the mist comes the groke. He approaches Moomin family slowly and stops. Then moomin papa points Groke with a gun and counts to ten, when groke starts to leave and the moomin fam is safe.
Yes I remember that to this day. In my mother language it was called Buka (Booka) It was terrifying and came out of nowhere in the middle of the episode.
The Groke was pure nightmare fuel as a child. Creeped me out for years afterwards. Though when you learn that she's the personification of loneliness and just wants to love and be loved but keeps on being turned away, it kinda softens the fear a bit...
I mean, The Groke is misunderstood; though she frightened many Finnish kids, at least she doesn’t want to entirely hurt the Moomins despite freezing nature.
I was young enough to watch this show all the time when it aired. And yes, the bear and the lion scared the hell out of me along with that weird dancing cg bear. And the footage of a bus going through it’s own version of a car wash for some reason. (Maybe it was the ominous music) Still, to this day I wonder who the hell thought ominous voices, awkwardly moving cutouts and nature footage sped up to the point that it looked unnatural was a good idea for a show aimed at toddlers.
you just unlocked a deep rooted memory i didnt even know i had and made me experience the sheer and unadulterated terror ive experienced as a 3 year old all over again
Some things from that era are like that, oddly. Look at Rosie and Jim - I adored them as a child, even if the memories are vague, but seeing them now... *shudders* NIGHTMARE FUEL!
My daughter was terrified of this episode when she one year old in 2002, I thought she was the only one! We laugh about now, if I say “ where’s the bear” she like nope! 😂
13:51 The three ships did scare me as a kid and I used to have nightmares of being stranded in the water as the ships drew closer and closer towards me, before I was hit by them, I also had nightmares of them breaking through my tv screen and flooding my house with sea water.
You've missed out the really ominous and scary bit just before the lion & the bear. The screen goes slightly dark and the whole scene "shakes" - that's where the trauma started !!
@Chucho I dunno m8 the only angry mob with pitchforks and torches in this story are the ones who were mad at a guy in a kids show for having a purse because it'd "turn the kids gay"
If you look at a character like Tinkie Winkie and the thought “what genitals does this character prefer” even crosses your mind, that says more about you than it does Tinkie Winkie
It's understandable, you have to project something familiar onto those characters to escape the cosmic horror of the entire situation. In reality Tinky Winky probably doesn't reproduce at all, but is an artificial creation by some advanced race of engineers gone mad.
@@Mamenber Ok, but I am just saying that I don't think the creators of Teletubbies intended on Tinky Winky being attracted to any sex or gender so that means Tinky Winky is asexual.
@@wp2837 i believe thats aromantic! (Or aromantic asexual) Asexual is not having a sexual attraction, where as aromantic is not having a romantic attraction!
“Tinky-winky is a covert gay symbol that was designed to turn children into homosexuals” Well shit, looks like the influence of The Teletubbies has gotten to me.

When i was a kid, i remember, everytime that giant windmill spinning, i began to hide and waiting for clues of what will being shown, and started to notice the music changes. And when it come to this and puppet in the house one, i started ran off and turn my tv off immediately. That how much horrifying it was for me. So my parents rented a place and this one girl which was our neighbor, a bit older than me during that time, locked me inside the living room and force me to watch that horror, she put the volume up and it was the worst traumatizing experience in my childhood and started it all
What a bad person.
I remember almost nothing about this show, other than the fact that there was a vacuum cleaner, and I loved him.
He was the best character
Nunu I think
I used to be completely terrified of him, the noises he made spooked young me.
When i was a kid i always use a straw when drinking, trying to immitate it's slurping/sucking noises
Nunuuu was best character I always pretended to be him when I drank stuff
Fun fact: the original ‘tellietubby land’ was on a woman’s farmland. She kept on having people trespassing to see the location. So, to avoid property damage and all that she turned it into a pond.
But climate change still sucks.

I think Bear and Lion got lost on their way to "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared" auditions.
I like your pfp, you got taste :D
Most definitely
Lol
Yea . or rejected
@@athentdm5333 and then Lion blamed bear for their failed audition.
3:50: That's not what I heard. I remember reading a book called "5,000 Facts About Everything 3", and it actually said that the owner of the farm demolished the Tubbytronic Superdome which had housed the loveable "aliens," just because she was sick and tired of fans trespassing on her land. That's where the reboot series comes into play, after the demolition.

Agreed. Imagine getting that pressed over a teletubby, lol.
Man, I remember clearly: Every time I noticed this segment was coming, I would hide behind the sofa crying and would be too scared to look again. (My mom had to convince me it was over)
I remember at this time there was also a Finding Nemo trailer on a commencial break with the shark smiling with sharp teeth filling the whole screen. It would always be so sudden it was almost a jumpscare.
How did you react when you saw the actoully movie as a kid than if the trailer alone scared you? If you don’t mind me askong
@@TheBatIsRad6435 I actually love the movie. But back when it was on theaters my dad didn't let me watch it. (I really wanted to, it could have been my first time ever watching a movie on theaters) but then when we were buying the tickets he saw the poster (wich was the same Bruce face from the trailers) and decided I would be afraid during the movie... Oh well, at least I eventually did watch it and it's one of my favorites from Pixar. (sorry if bad English, not my first language)
@@dalila2442 ✌🏻things. 1st what’s cd? 2nd when I was a kid finding Nemo scared me so much. Not only cause of Bruce but also the scenes with the angler fish, the whale, and The barracuda.I was also terrified by the scene where nemo 1st got captured by the scooba diver. I don’t know why thought since the diver was just a human. What makes it weirder is that when I reminder watching scarier things when I was even younger, like 300, Deep blue sea, nightmare on elm street, Grimm brothers, robot chicken, a Bigfoot horror movie that I can’t remember the name of (all I reminder from it was a the plot being the handicap man and some girls in a house in the wood Beijing attacked by big foot, and a scene where he bites off someone’s face) and another movie that I can’t remember the name of but had this creature sticking its tongue in people mouths and making them into monsters. But for some reason I thought nemo was scarier then most of those. What do you think the reason is?
@@TheBatIsRad6435 Maybe just because how massive everything feels compared to the poor small fish, also those are actually things that we know exist in our world, so it makes it a bit more scary, I think... Also I have no idea where the "CD" part came from lol
I edited it out now.
OMG yes ,exactly the same. when you saw the carrousel thingy come down and then you heard the music of this segment.
My dad still quotes “It’s the bear” in creepy situations and I’m in my mid-20s now
Yoo my dad too 😂im fucking 23 now, and when he came to pick me&my man up last week, he scared us by walking up behind us, whispering 'its the beaaarrr' like wtf😂
We must carry on tradition and scar our kids in the future with “it’s the bearrrr...” LMAO

Tfw a bear can kill people regardless of their age
I HATE THIS EPISODE. my 2 year old still watches Teletubbies. And that stupid episode comes on at least once a week. Eeegh
Scary movies: Not scary
Teletubbies: Scariest thing ever
You gotta admit, the set design on these shows is unbelievably well made and utterly creative.
@-- KamalaGamingTeams‼️ the clouds being sped up while everything else in normal motion... Etc
did you not see they made this creative stuff to simulate lsd effects this show is weird look closely at there eyes looks creepy when they all look at you then there is there voices don't get me started on the voices.
And scary bruh
Yeah, they did a good job replicating the backrooms!
@@Goose22jhyoure right. I showed telletubbies to my 2 year old and she screamed, when i looked at what it was they were all just staring into the screen with their unsettling eyes.
"I'm there, I'm the bear, and I'm coming!"
Teletubbies: **proceeds to giggle**
Its the bear*
"We are going to die :D"
*giggle* “I’m in danger.”
@@cheeeeeeese8D I *am* the danger.
Plot Twist (I guess...) The Teletubbies are a part of some cult and the bear is their god, the Teletubbies being excited about the lion and the bear fighting due to the fact it's some sort of ancient ritual that the Teletubbies seem to like for some reason because it's a battle between a god (the bear) and a mortal, (the lion.)
Making the lion even worse is the color of his irises. They're bright and shiny enough that when he sits in the sun correctly, it looks like they're *glowing* like an actual demon. And I'm 90% sure those pupils were somehow capable of shrinking and growing.
Um, pupils grow and shrink all the time. Do you also think it's demonic when cats' and dogs' eyes glow in dim light?

@@Lee-cr6xb it's probably to do with how horror films often like to take things associated with childhood- clowns and dolls, for example- and subvert the attitude we had towards them. Well, it's that and if you stop to overthink any children's show, you'll realize very quickly that none of it makes sense, but it was never meant to. The target audience are at an age where most of them don't have any sense of object permanence.
Man i just relived a core memory... this was my first horror movie back in 2001

This is literally childhood trauma that I completely forgot about lol. The moment you showed a clip of the lion and the bear I instantly remembered it and realized how creeped out I was by it as a little kid.
This had me scared out of my mind as a kid
I remember them but it wasn't scary for me... Well as a kid that literally grew up watching hokuto no Ken, city hunter and such along with Teletubbies i think i had other thing to be scared at lol
I was terrified of that shit
This fuelled my nightmares as a young child. More so because I got autism. Literally I got PTSD from this segment lmao
Same with me, I had completely forgot about it until my cousin showed it back to me as an adult
That dancing bear on the carousel was my favourite. I remember watching these episodes! The wooden bear one was a bit creepy ngl 😂

I actually liked the tap dancing bear as a kid.

The CGI bear seems so familiar. I think I have seen it before.
To me it kinda looked similar to the bear from the "Barnie" commercial with the chocolate candy thingy
Right??? I don't remember it well but I just KNOW I have seen it as a kid
It was so fucking scary. Wtf
Same!
Being the target audience back then, I say those ships where indeed scary. Toddlers actually do enjoy watching the whole thing all over again, that’s their thing, repeating stuff over and over. I heard that they destroyed the original hill and created that pond because people kept invading the area to take pictures and the owner wasn’t happy about it.
THEY F-ING BREEEED??!
I had completely forgotten about the ships until he showed a clip and it immediately triggered something in my brain. They were very ominous. The way the grassy hills just suddenly get flooded and the ships turn up out of nowhere silently from the low angle is just uncanny. Then they just sail about unnaturally for a couple of minutes and disappear off frame. All just so weird.
When I was a toddler watching this stuff I couldn't stand seeing the same stuff again and again and again
the boats creep me out now tbh. they're coming at you in a surreal way that boats don't normally move in and they're too clean looking. its a uncanny valley thing that I didn't even know existed.

this actually makes me feel so relieved im not the only one who was scared af of this segment as a toddler!! I deadass had nightmares of the bear and yes i would run away from the tv any time this came on!! I never knew until now how many other kids were like me and that this got so blown up they made this episode and segment banned! crazy how they put this in a kids show XD
bear and lion did nothing wrong
Dude same that was also mainly the reason why i stop watching teletubies as a kid...
I had the same, if this part came on i would hide under the table until it was over
Same! When I was small one time I saw this episode on TV and I hid between the two sofas in my house cause I was so scared xD
It doesn't seem scary to me, at least less than Pingu's dream, the episode with the walrus. 😅😂
It’s definitely the eyes, if they were bigger and didn’t appear to glow in the dark I feel like it would help
yeah it’s the eyes mostly, i feel like their whole face is a bit too realistic compared to the rest of their bodies. It’s uncanny
So I was not the only one terrified of that lion
This show was pretty bizarre ngl. 😂
Their eyes must’ve been sunken in too far. It’s that disturbing.

Why do people want that answered exactly? It's a kid show. Not every character needs to have an open sexuality, sometimes its just not relevant
You know we failed when people said Tinky Winky was trying to turn kids gay.
They simply don't have none
People create problems where there's none lmao
And like, there are already plenty of things people dislike about the teletubbies ( They're annoying, they look weird, etc). People didn't need to make some weird conspiracy theory about how Tinky Winky wants to turn your kids gay

Damn right you are
Yeah, I distinctly remember that episode from Teletubies. Mostly because that night I randomly woke up and when I looked down the hall, the lion had its head around the corner. I was 5 or so at the time, scared the crap out of me, never seen it since but it is in my memory forever.
@@bensijmons8331 Wait what
The lion would look absolutely terrifying by itself, but next to the bear it's spookiness gets completely eclipsed.
The scariest thing in that show when i was smaller was the vacuum i have autism and the noise freaked me out and in some episodes he did reall inappropriate stuff
I was terrified of the boats as a toddler/little kid. It was even the “threat” my mom would give when I wasn’t behaving. Like “if you don’t eat your vegetables, I’m going to get the boats. Oh! I hear them coming!”
I’d all but forgotten that until you showed that clip.

Just to tell them 'Oh you're just being silly~' even after nightmares start up again.
Wow, good idea. Use trauma to manipulate good behavior! /s
I vividly remember being terrified of this as a toddler. The bear especially, it was the arms. I had nightmares about it. I loved the cgi dancing teddy though, that was my favourite.

Mind you, at that age I liked watching more horror-based shows like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark so it's no wonder I enjoyed something that terrified my friends lmao
I was one of those terrified kids running out of the room whenever this segment came on. I think the most unsettling part is the shot seen at 11:02. The low camera angle and the sun behind the lion casting long shadows, making his eyes seem to glow on his darkened face, gives it a vibe like something out of a literal nightmare.

I still have vivid memories about how this game me nightmares as a 5 year old, like I’d dream of seeing the bear’s silhouette behind my curtain and hear the lion in the background
Oh god! You as well? I literally had to hide my head beneath my pillows because if I even looked at my door my imagination would always pull towards the bear coming out from behind.
I remember my 2 y/o self going to hide away from the TV whenever this episode aired or asking my parents to change channel
i definitely hated the bear more than the lion because of it's weird side-eye glances, the tongue and the "BOLOLOLO" noises lmaoooo, my brain deffo repressed this memory.
I remember being sat in my living room during the evenings afraid that the bear would come down the stairs.
I think the lion was maybe scarier though because I had reoccurring nightmares about something that was basically the lion mixed with the Wheelers from the Wizard of Oz.
I still remember it fondly i was 6 years old and couldn't sleep because of this i was seeing his head on my window watching me.
Even as a toddler I would never have thought this smiling bear and lion were scary, You'd have to be a major puff to think this stuff was scary
This reminds me of a episode of the Moomin valley, a finnish animated series which was very popular here in finland. So the episode was about The Groke. A scary purple monster that makes wierd noises and freezes everything it touches. So the start of the episode wasn't that scary, but in the middle of the episode the Moomin family was playing some poker till someone noticed that the Groke is coming. They all grab weapons and get ready for the Groke. Now this is the part where I was scared af. Spooky music starts to play and out of the mist comes the groke. He approaches Moomin family slowly and stops. Then moomin papa points Groke with a gun and counts to ten, when groke starts to leave and the moomin fam is safe.
Yes I remember that to this day. In my mother language it was called Buka (Booka) It was terrifying and came out of nowhere in the middle of the episode.
I remember that show.
I have never heard of that show tbh with y'all ...
The Groke was pure nightmare fuel as a child. Creeped me out for years afterwards. Though when you learn that she's the personification of loneliness and just wants to love and be loved but keeps on being turned away, it kinda softens the fear a bit...
I mean, The Groke is misunderstood; though she frightened many Finnish kids, at least she doesn’t want to entirely hurt the Moomins despite freezing nature.
The fact that the sun baby is actually a mom today makes me happy.

And the footage of a bus going through it’s own version of a car wash for some reason. (Maybe it was the ominous music)
Still, to this day I wonder who the hell thought ominous voices, awkwardly moving cutouts and nature footage sped up to the point that it looked unnatural was a good idea for a show aimed at toddlers.

What's strange is I was never scared of this episode as a kid. But now that I watch it, it's definitely unsettling
I wasn't scared of this show. As a kid I wanted to hit and bully these Teletubbies 😂

13:51 The three ships did scare me as a kid and I used to have nightmares of being stranded in the water as the ships drew closer and closer towards me, before I was hit by them, I also had nightmares of them breaking through my tv screen and flooding my house with sea water.
HOLY SHIT I HAD THE SAME NIGHTMARE TOO
95
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER EXPERIENCED THIS TOO, I HATED THIS AND THE SHIPS ISTG
There be a deamon here in this land
If it was scary to you guys, imagine how scary it was for kids who had actual members of families who actually died on boats, or ships...
We all had that nightmare
You've missed out the really ominous and scary bit just before the lion & the bear. The screen goes slightly dark and the whole scene "shakes" - that's where the trauma started !!
@Jo Amon you good shawty?
@Jo Amon bro you ok buddy?
@Jo Amon Did you get probed by aliens or something?
0:46 whattt
WHAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂
They knew exactly what they were doing and you have to remember it was literally one guy voicing three or four characters LOL
@@Wenda-m4i wuuuttt 💀💀💀
"wasn't washing clothes the woman's job?" Dude let Pingu's dad be supportive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree lol
he was savage lol
The funniest part is that this is what I thought when I watched pingu as a kid
@@h0td0gwater Because it's true
I thought that, sexist much 😅
"Just a character in a children's series." Phrases only '90's kids will know.
So many strange characters in 90’s children’s TV. Like “him” from powerpuff girls.
@@ThePurpleKiss101 Lol I found him from the Powerpuff Girls bizarre as a kid.
90s kids claiming everything that ever existed is a "90s kids thing"
@Chucho I dunno m8 the only angry mob with pitchforks and torches in this story are the ones who were mad at a guy in a kids show for having a purse because it'd "turn the kids gay"
Saying it’s a “weird show” is such an understatement..
My son absolutely loves the episodes with this bear. He runs around imitating the bear all the time. He just turned 2 ❤
If you look at a character like Tinkie Winkie and the thought “what genitals does this character prefer” even crosses your mind, that says more about you than it does Tinkie Winkie
Dunno, but the guy who wears the Tinky Winky suit was looking kinda handsome, ngl--
It's understandable, you have to project something familiar onto those characters to escape the cosmic horror of the entire situation.
In reality Tinky Winky probably doesn't reproduce at all, but is an artificial creation by some advanced race of engineers gone mad.
"He's not gay, he's not straight"
Tinky Winky is a bisexual confirmed
No, he is asexual.
@@wp2837 Let's not argue about the sexuality of Tinky Winky
@@Mamenber Ok, but I am just saying that I don't think the creators of Teletubbies intended on Tinky Winky being attracted to any sex or gender so that means Tinky Winky is asexual.
@@wp2837 i believe thats aromantic! (Or aromantic asexual) Asexual is not having a sexual attraction, where as aromantic is not having a romantic attraction!
@@WoofleSnoot He is both asexual and aromantic, because I don't think he is attracted to anyone romantically or sexually.
“Tinky-winky is a covert gay symbol that was designed to turn children into homosexuals”
Well shit, looks like the influence of The Teletubbies has gotten to me.
Same. 😂
It got me 25%
*looks into mirror
NO wOndEr
Same
Oh no...
