Hey guys, for Halloween I thought I'd take a look at one of my childhood favourites, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids. A dark British "kid's" show which follows the stories of rude and obnoxious children, getting their just desserts in the most gruesome ways possible!

Ok
Okay then
Ok
AYE IM FIRST
Steve reviews it's about time I was going to tell you but I'll tell you what to do it
Gotta be honest, I love how the old English child etertainment respected the Grimm brothers values, teaching the kids valuable lessons about life and behavior with scary fates for the fiction characters who did somehing wrrong.
@@kingglovers_____8813 Damn! Boy! Thanks but no, thank you!
Agreed with you
Old..? I was a kid when this ran, was like ten when it started. Making me feel old.. ran in 2000. That's not that old, right...? >_>;
Coppa go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
boring
i love how the british boy's dog is literally murdered, and his response is basically just calmly stating "yo that was pretty rude"
The dog actually survived, its in the last part of the episode
The dog was lucky..unlike his owner and his friends
Lol
@@zemox2534 lol....
I more remember him just raising his hand and swallowing his apple after that. Rather than a gasp, he did the polite British thing.
There should be a spin off series but about bad parents. Like for example; a parent beats their child and gets turned into a living voodoo doll that feels everyone’s pain. Or a parent tries to force their child to be pretty for beauty pageants and gets a tapeworm that eats their flesh until they are a skeleton. I’d call it Petrifying Tales for Poor Parents or Awful Tales for Abominable Adults
The Childhood Snatcher is one of those. A father makes her daughter grow up too fast.
@@lydiajulianprower8356 yeah but the father didn’t get any punishment, the kid did. That’s actually one of the reasons why that story is my absolute least favorite.
@@elleramirez1373 Yeah, exactly. It should've been fixed into that.
That happened in the book series, with a book themed on some crappy adults.
Technically the reason why the kids are so rude are bc of the parents not enacting much discipline. They raised their kids to be rude.
I'm still surprised at the level of gore they allowed on this show. I was pretty shook when I saw that combine harvester scene as a kid.
Its cartoon blood so its cant be classed as anything above a 12
@@demonic_myst4503 I don't think whether it's a cartoon or not has any effect, it just depends on the level of violence. Like, there's no way Rick and Morty would be rated 12 even if they took out all adult content other than the violence. Another example is Invincible. I agree that in this show it's not excessive, but given that it was watched by young kids, it just surprised me is all. Whether or not the show having such content is a good thing is up for debate I guess.
@@Spamster3212Smile HD is a prime example 😰 That shit had me TRAUMATIZED as a kid but I was desensitized pretty quickly because of that, other online content, AND THIS SHOW 😭😭😭 (I'm newly adult for context, I knew 2012-18 UA-cam and it was a ROLLEROCASTER for little me.)
This show is 100% where my love of horror spawned from. The episode where a kid gets swallowed hole by a snake is a personal favourite
yessss
whole* :3
📸🤨 mans into carnivore minus the carni
I had nightmares from the one where the kid got turned into pasta
Same! This and the goosebumps books
This show gave me nothing but nightmares for years straight and yet I couldn't stop watching it.
Yeah ikr, i was so scared of this show but i still kept wanting to watch it, I think eventually my mum just told me I couldn't watch it anymore
Exactly idk what it was but I just kept watching it
Literally me
Just the thought of this show somehow still makes my stomach turn a little bit. I was very scared of when i was a child
@MitchTheYoshi oh my god I fuckin loved trapped I still remember thinking they actually kept the kids that lost on the island 🤣🤣
What makes Grizzly Tales unique though is it’s moral in each episode. For example:
1. Don’t lie/ tell fibs
2. Don’t be greedy
3. Listen to your parents
4. Don’t say I want
5. Don’t use tears to get what you want
6. Always eat your vegetables
7. Share (I think it’s important)
8. Don’t abuse pets
9. Don’t be rude
10. (Which I think is very important for parents who want their children to be famous) don’t force your kids to grow up too fast!
Great moral lessons told in a dark way classic 😁
No famous children thank you and you ain't see the shit airing in my country buncha fever dreams come to life
Thought the horrible fates the kids suffered are quite a bit overkill.
Don't spread rumors
Don't take jokes and pranks too far
As a Brit, I can confirm this was definitely a real show and probably the reason I have anxiety attacks.
*A kid was eaten down to his brain, eye and hand while still conscious and then eaten by his cat.*
I remember it airing in the morning as well as after noon on CITV do I remember right? I used to watch it
You’re a baby then
@@beastswinisepicyess it was citv
Oh yea!!! The kid that wanted to be online! Lol he did say that was all he needed.
What the hell?!?
Oh god, this show freaked me out as a kid. The scariest thing in each episode was usually the narrator. The only episode that I can clearly remember was about this kid/teen nagging his mom about getting candy, and the mom refused. The kid/teen gets lured to a candy shop where where the owner throws him into a caramelization vat or something, coating him in candy and making him unable to move, and finally putting him on display at a store window. The story ends with his mother walking past, seeing him without recognizing who he is and the kid shedding a tear as he's stuck, unable to move or communicate with his mother.
Covered in wax
I remember that
Anyone remember the boos
I read one where a kid refused to eat the food his mother gave his so she warned him if he didn't eat it the pasta man (or something like that) would take him and he refused again and the next day he woke up in a dark room with other kids and they all had lables that marked what they where going to me turned into
@@assassincheese0 I remember one where one of the characters got turned into a Caterpillar or something
Oh god that episode freaked me out-
I remember coming home from school, having tea and watching this show, horrid Henry and my parents are aliens. So many memories
Yes haha so many good memories 🙂
Oh yea horrid Henry was an all time fave show of mine
Bear behaving badly was another I loved
This hit me with way too much nostalgia
Same lol
I’m British but never came back to have tea 😭
I remember one where this kid prank-called people but ended up getting stuck in space for the rest of his life with a telephone that doesn't work, ending with the statement that if anyone gets a phone call with nothing on the other end, it would be him.
That one is called The Gas Man Cometh, I enjoy that episode
I remember being 8 and recording every episode so me and my siblings could binge all the episodes and I'm proud to say I've watches every episode
My mum always had a problem with this show, which only made me want it more
do you remember the episode with a girl and she got turned into a statue or something that scarred me
@@mralyyxr8838 the pottery one?
@@vivd3840 idk i’ve tried looking for the episode but this girl or smth gets stuck in time like frozen and is like a statue
@@mralyyxr8838yeah I think the episode was silence us golden or smth along those lines
You gotta love how this guys whole thing is that he abuses his spider sidekick but he told a story about how it's wrong to hurt spiders.
I guess it's fine as long as you don't outright KILL them. XD
Unless they're implying that the spider he torments _used to be_ a kid who tormented spiders and this is his comeuppance.
@@Cellidor or the spider did something immoral, like kill a fly!
@@alex.g7317 Or the guy is just a hypocrite. Which wouldn't suprise me to be honest.
@@theoryfoxes1879 yeah, we shouldnt be looking into it too much
"The Chipper chums go scrumping" is probably the most British thing I've ever heard even if it didn't have context.
Oh Reginald ~!
*I DISAGREE*
It was taking the mickey of the famous five, which the creator or one of the writers hated
am british, can confirm lol
It’s a play on Enid Blyton type books like the famous five and the smugglers cove, featuring middle class kids have adventures on their “summer hols”
I think what makes the Chipper Chums episode even darker is that the kids weren’t bad people, they just made one bad mistake that cost them
Plot Twist: The kid who got his eye lids torn off later grew to be Jeff The Killer
this unlocked weird memories
Same, many unsettling memories
I literally shit myself watching these
Initiate Skyrim level up music.
I know..
Trowe
Oh man, this was the shit back in the day. I'll always remember the episode 'The Spaghetti Man' because of the way Nigel Planer would pronounce 'spaghetti' as "SPHAAARGETTEE" extremely loudly every single time he had to say it.
"SPARRRGETTTEEEH man"
The Spaghetti Man: Guess who I'm having for dinner tonight!
Now, this line could be of meme status soon
this was the shit man
I remember the one with the kid who wouldn't stop fiddling, so he got kidnapped by the pizza man
I’m a huge fan of weird spooky stop-motion and other forms of animation. I wish I could have grown up watching this as a kid. Also I gotta say those stereotypical British kids speaking was hilarious. “I say gosh! That was a pretty rotten thing to do!” Hope you’re doing well Spindleshanks.
I hope he’s still alive. For a creepy kid’s show, he was pretty cute.
Stop motion was my personal nightmare 🫶 but this was quite the childhood staple of mine
In Finnish, the name of the show was awesome: "Sätkyjä ja tärinöitä", which means 'Twitches and shivers'; it is a contortion of "Satuja ja tarinoita": 'Fairytales and stories'.
Another interesting aspect of the show which I really like is that there were actually some episodes that showed the faults of adults as well, basically telling the viewer that the amount of years you've lived doesn't matter, if you didn't learn to be a decent person, you'll always be nothing more than a brat that needs to be punished. For example, in "Burgerskip" a greedy businessman cut an entire forest for the needs of his business but one of the trees turned out to be magical and sentient and takes the guy away and he's never seen again.
Yeah. I feel that's really important in kids shows because a lot of the time adults seem like, and portray themselves as infallible. Which creates a certain us vs them mentality between them. Its important for kids to know that adults arent the be all and end all of everything and that their opinions and thoughts matter too.
Holy crap I remember this one!
That episode was cool
The good vs evil episode
@Kemaal Deen-Ellis There was The Stick Men, where Chico's parents died in a helicopter crash.
And I don't think I need to explain the Volgas from Prince Noman, either.
This show's theme tune shall forever have a place in my deep subconcious.
Yes it always plays at 3AM when I'm awake
Yes. I just remembered this existed
@@cleoalexander7590 same, for some reason this didn't scare me but horrid Henry did
@@TMgarlol 🤣What
@@blessedcocoa5729 I was scared of many stupid things pal, but of all things this didn't freak me out in the slightest
I want to reanimate this series. It’s classic the way it is but I just have a desire to see it all in stop-motion.
Good luck. Can't wait for the first season in a decade
@@SomeGuy-mt4hq I will try my best!
16:45 Straight up reminds me of Go-Animate.
The British voice actor as the caretaker, Nigel Planer's first job was actually as a grave digger. Spooky
*WOAH.*
Fitting
So, he already had experience in horror, is what that means. lolz.
I didn’t know that was the legend, Nigel Planer! I love Neil, Neil Orange Peel.
Not really spooky
This show was elite. It had this strange way of teaching lessons to young kids through disturbing stories, but they weren’t so bad that they’d terrify you. Seeing this in my recommended took me back.
I never saw the show but it reminds me of this flash game I played, "Short and Sweet". That scary scariness to teach life lessons, I think I kinda dig it
One of my true favorites from my early childhood. This show didn't treat kids like porcelain, it was badass
This show has a very distinctive feeling that comes with it. I always remember seeing it on and getting this feeling, and even now… just the thought of it gives me that feeling.
I remember this show. I thought it was not as scary as I hoped it could be.
But there was one episode that scared me in it’s end. A boy got turned into a mannequin and he was still conscious. He could only move his eyes but not the rest of his body.
I know that episode! It's the one where some boy begged his mom for candy, ran away and went in a random candy store and the Candyman turned him to a mannequin.
@@diamondmoon9496 sorry I watched too much American stuff
That was the one that terrified me as well because once ut finished my dad casually said to me "and that's why you don't talk to strangers" let's just say back then once I heard that I though everyone who was a stranger was gonna turn me into a paper doll for the rest of eternity
Reminds me of that one animated short "Alma". It's basically about a young girl who sees a doll of herself inside a toy shop, and goes inside the shop all alone. Once she touches the doll, her soul is stolen, and she becomes trapped inside the doll, only being able to move her eyes.
@@RedRose99975 oh I saw that we watched it in secondary school English.
Absolute banger of a show. Felt pretty nostalgic seeing this in my feed.
Inr
Frrr I miss my childhood man
Same
Fr
this show was good but scary
Man, instant nostalgia! I remember watching the re-runs of this and Wolves, Witches and Giants in the evenings on CITV around 2009-ish and instantly getting hooked!. A favourite episode of mine, was the one with the kid who "needs more space" and he grows and grows until there's no more space for him in the universe and a satellite pierces his tongue and he deflates! I also remember the 'Tom Time' episode, where the kid is late for everything and doesn't make it to the ship that evacuates the earth!
Now I realize a lot of the episodes seem to say, "Don't be a bad kid or bad horrible stuff will happen to you." Scary.
Not scary. Good solid moral education.
@@rrwholloway Yeah, but some of these episodes have the kids being murdered or even suffer a fate worse than death.
@@slainedale8032 To be honest that was always the point of the original fairy tales (the _really_ old ones). They were never meant to soothe kids to sleep, they were meant to scare them into behaving.
@@mechazoic True. Still pretty messed up, though.
@@slainedale8032 yeah… what do you think really happens to two of the three little pigs? The wolf eats them.
I remember this show.... it's like the British children's equivalent of tales from the Crypt tv series
AAAA I LOVE THAT SHOW!!
Also goosebumps
@@nazishhussain2712 and Are you afraid of the dark from Nickelodeon :)
Tales from the crypt, my favourite bed time show ^^
Wait that was British?
Steve, brother, I am a certified Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids fan for life. I love the sense of catharsis I could attain from this show. Seeing horribly bratty kids and the occasionally horrid adult get punished for their atrocities is indubitably gratifying. I just want to make a tiny correction. They implemented the first theme song from Series 1 to 4. However, the second theme song was used from Series 5 to 6. Speaking of theme song, I do agree that the first Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids theme tune was a whole lot better composed than the later one. The one aspect that remained consistent with Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids is Nigel Planer's impeccable vocal performance. It is incredible to know that the same gentleman who portrayed Neil from The Young Ones can let loose with abandon as Uncle Grizzly, and he did in the most fabulous way ever.
I LOVED THIS SHOW. I always rushed home after school to watch it. And another one about a babysitter telling stories to these 2 kids I forgot the name.
The one that got on my nerves ecen in school was horrible histories.
@@blessedcocoa5729 i think ik wat ur on about it was either balamory or the one that had the song that says 'jump around and sitting down' (might be the same one). It was one of the few as well as stuff like dennis the mennace id watch oh and who could forget horrid henry.
@@unboxing_legend7708 what's wrong with horrible histories☹
@@unboxing_legend7708 it wasn't balamory (that ws good too) idk the other one but she told the kids scary stories I can't remember it though
The only video that I could vividly remember was the girl who was greedy and kept eating chocolate and then turned into a fly and got squatted. Also the grandma who told the little boy the story, that one creeped the hell out of me
That one is called Death By Chocolate
Also, the second one you were talking about is Grandmother's Footsteps
This was my absolute favourite growing up. They don’t make good shows like this anymore, I ran home from school to make it in time to watch this.
Kid shows should be more like this.
My little brother used to wet his bed over this show. The poor guy was also scared to go in a room alone for weeks after watching one episode. I thought they were funny.
Jez how is that funny that’s sick
@@kingglovers_____8813 shut up bot
@@kingglovers_____8813 You know you hit it big once these bois show up
@@Asura_productions they said the show was funny, not the kid pissing himself.
@@cattherat-ss4kv ya ik but how is the show funny it’s sick to think that sure I hate bully’s but still
every person who watched this show as a child is either VERY well adjusted or currently doing time in a possibly or possibly not padded cell. There is no inbetween
I feel like I'm hanging on to the ledge before the plunge into the latter.
Or emo
I'm 16 working at an animal sanctuary watching horrors every night 😂
9:04 "Some Meth−head Harry Potter−like Kid" 😂🤣
*16:18* in my opinion I think the bright colours make it look like a crappy goanimate video you would find in your UA-cam recommended page in 2014
Lmao true
If you remember this show, you deserve a veteran's discount.
Every Saturday I would shit my pants seeing this
This scarred me for life
man this show was amazing
I remember it 😁
I remember this show used to watch it after school
I adored this show. Didn’t scar me like it did for some people. The animation did freak me out but I always remember it being great!
What a class show
I loved this show so much! Fun fact in the episode the combine harvester clip is from, the kid, his bike and his rabbit all get chopped up and the doctors mix all the pieces together, resulting in the kid loosing his humanity to the rabbit brain and being this grey human sized monster with a bike handlebar sticking out of his stomach, jumping around the room like a rabbit. For kids!
I remember being traumatised by this as a child. You have made me uncover many repressed memories
Loved this show as a kid. A lot of the british cartoons were quite popular in Australia. I remember fondly watching this, Trap door and Super Ted and they did reruns for a good while too
This Aired In Australia And New Zealand? Cool! I Remember Watching This Before Other Kids Shows Came On.
Do you remember the other one that used to be on? "Creepy stories" or something and it always started with "it happened to a friend of a friend of mine..."
That was another good one that would come on ABC
@@screamthroughdreams not really sure. It kinda sounds something like Tales from the Crypt or Are you afraid of the dark? But I'm probably wrong
Don't open that trap door...
Cus there's something down there!
Yeah, I remember watching this on ABC after school on weekdays in Australia
Something like Grizzly Tales could benefit from guest animators. I'd love to see a reboot of this, Love Death and Robot's style, with a new style for each story.
Yeah! That’d be really clever.
As an American, I would have loved to have grown up on this show. If a show like Courage the Cowardly Dog got greenlit, why not air Grizzly Tales?
@@dorothyallspice1862 Going down to my Grandmother's house, out in the middle of knowhere - Highlands of Scotland - next to the coast. I'd watch Grizzly Tales at her's. Growing up with the myths and legends there, mixed with the show, got me shitscared on a regular basis.
This show was absolutely epic. It's unfortunate that modern TV shows don't have the annoying characters meeting such a grim demise
God i loved this as a child. I remember watching thing at my grandparents, ah the memories.
I am *certain* that "The Chipper Chums Go Scrumping" is an extended parody/deconstruction of _The Famous Five,_ the book series by Enid Blyton - everything, from the intentionally old-fashioned dialogue to even the names of the characters, is far too much of a match for it _not_ to be!
@D's Animation Yard Not to mention they were always *extremely* saccharine, which was a common thing in kids' books (and later on TV programs).
@@Laevateinn102 Saccharine?
@@loganreads90 "saccharine" is a word used to describe things that are overly cutesy, idealistic and happy. It's something you'll find in a lot of kids' media (Barney the Dinosaur, Care Bears, etc.). Enid Blyton's stories often embodied all of those things.
This shit traumatised me when I was a kid. I actually developed a minor fear of the word Top Hat for a short while because of the episode where the kid gets sucked into the magician's hat.
To be fair though the child character in the episode Benjamin was a spoilt Brat
@@williampulfer-melville8536 True.
As a Brit myself I actually remember watching this show when I was younger and I absolutely loved it!!
I LOVED this show as a kid. I am so glad some of the episodes are on UA-cam!
I’d always watch this when there was nothing else on.
Hello
Same used to love it
Same
Same here
I loved the animation on it even though I hated how disgusting it could get. Really taught some good life lessons!
The episode I remember most is the one with the girls wasting water during a drought, who eventually get turned into watermelons and unknowingly eaten by their classmates.
Same, that's the one that sticks in my mind the most, not sure why.
I also remember this one. Odd, haha
That episode has stuck with my for years, real traumatic stuff!
The episode isn't even about Trap Door but that was one of mine and my sisters favourite shows growing up and we still reference it when we see each other. The short clip with "-appy then Drut?" had me laughing instantly. Poor silly spiders getting abused
I remember this was also on tv in the Netherlands (dubbed of course) when I was young. It was one of the only 'creepy' shows that I didn't mind being creeped out by, somehow.
IM SO HAPPY THIS FINALLY GOT ATTENTION! This show was my childhood, and I’ve even still got 4 books of Grizzly Tales to this day
I really like your pfp - It made me smile and I hope you have a good day!
@@Urielthemagicalcrab Aw thank you-..that made me so happy- 💙
This show traumatized me as a child, more specifically the Spaghetti man. I remember I couldn't sleep properly for days after seeing that. Still I grew to love this series and is properly why I'm such a horror movie fanatic :)
I’m kinda the same but I always hated the show when I was a kid. It just grossed me out ig?
@@maxrobinson4835 same, i left the room when that garbage was airing
I bet it traumatized you in a good way, didn't it?
That spaghetti man fucked me up for years
This is so awesome, I remember watching this religiously on CITV as a kid! It honestly kickstarted my love for horror. Sad it had to have such a lacklustre ending and revival.
The one with the boy and the ghost spiders is basically a twisted version of Spider-Man. And how it shows his organs, but the fact they aren’t bloody reminds me of invader zim, dark harvest.
I grew up on this show I'm 18 now and I still can remember my mom waking me up in the morning for primary school going down stairs and eating my breakfast and watching this show. Watching this has made me wanna rewatch all the story's and see what I pick up on
I did this a few years back, surprisingly holds up very well. The animation will always remind me of those school books with illustrations. The stories are equally as dark as you remember. Pretty sure most episodes are on UA-cam if you do a bit of searching
Liar
@@GabagoolForeverAndAlways I find it very humorous that it’s a comment that just says “Liar”. However I want to know what part I’m supposedly lying about?
This show came on in the morning?
I remember only seeing this at night when I stayed up too late 😂😂
@@htsunmiku fr, on cartoon network past 10 o’clock😂
Holy shit I had completely repressed the memories of this show from when I was a kid. This is such a blast from the past!
Same lmao
The darkest episode I remember was one where a boy who was rude or disrutive or something at the dinner table was put theough a grinder and made into pasta, before being eaten by his parents!
That's The Spaghetti Man, It's one of mine favorites!
I watched this when I was younger and loved it 😂 the ones I remember the most are the superstitious girl who eventually locks herself in a metal box and get crushed by a fall cow, and on her tombstone it says "hopefully she's gone for good, touch wood". The one about the man eating conker and the witch who steals faces, plusba few others 😊
I loved this show. I remember one episode a kid had a computer addiction, and he ended up going inside the Cyberspace world becoming just a brain with eyeballs inside a glass cube on a cyber-highway...who then got eaten alive by a virus as he was helpless and too stupid to do anything else but sit and look at it.
I remember that episode it was called E Boy
@@williampulfer-melville8536 Jesus H, you don't suppose that virus was made by Kilokahn?
YES THAT’S THE ONE EPISODE I ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT THIS SHOW. That episode terrified me as a kid, and honestly still kinda does now lmao
@@Reapermaskhybrid I wouldn't have a clue though the virus looks exactly like how the boy describes his Avatar having the head of a lizard and a body that's half tractor and half great white shark
@@williampulfer-melville8536 I was referencing Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, aka the Americanized adaptation of Gridman the Hyper Agent. Kilokahn was the villain of that show and he was voiced by the ever delightfully hammy Tim Curry.
I remember seeing an episode where a kid got turned into a statue and put in a display window in a sweet shop, not sure what the kid did but I was surprisingly fine
You know what I think we both commented about the same episode but my brain is telling me it was a mannequin.
Oh yes the episode sweets to be fair though the kid Thomas Ratchet did deserve what he got as whenever he went out with his mother to the shops he would misbehave and I know he does say in the episode he only does it because his mum always refuses to get him sweets but misbehaving is not really going to get you some either and to be honest I don't think I could blame the mum for never buying him sweets because we get the idea that Thomas Ratchet is a real spoilt brat
I remember that like yesterday. I actually felt horrible for the kid.
I remember that one. Didn't he find a random sweet shop or something?
@@imagician9906 there is an episode where kid gets turned into little statue, and another one where girl gets frozen in place like a mannequin, and her parents use her as a lamp
I love how in the stop-motion parts of the original series, you can see classic monster movie posters in the background. Some of them being The Mummy (1959), Godzilla (1954), Mothra (1961) and Revenge of the Creature (1955).
I was vv claustrophobic as a child so the episode that scared me the most was when that boy grew so big he was squashed in the entire universe I could barely sleep. also the one were the girl turned into a statue and thrown in the ocean bothered me a lot
I blame this show for my love of horror as an adult. That said...
The Pie Man TRAUMATISED me as a kid. I'm autistic and I used to bite my knuckles, especially my thumb as a stim. So the episode ending with the thumbsucker getting his thumbs cut off really messed with me. Completely killed that particular stim for a long time 😂
HAH! Scaredy-cat! Scaredy-cat!
the episode that stuck with me till this day was the one where the kid was too vain, so when an old tailor came to him and said he could give him a new suit and the kid agreed. So I don't remember the whole plot, but the Taylor tells the boy he needs to unzip his skin to measure the new suit or something, and the boy okays it and goes to bed expecting to be wearing the suit in the morning. But when he wakes up and goes to look in the mirror he scream in horror to see him wearing the old tailors skin. Something about him agreeing to it all up until the end and the uniquely horrible idea of waking up in old man skin has stuck with me to this day.
Oh yes the episode was called the Old Tailor of Peltingmore and the vain boy was called Jumbo Ferrari no seriously I'm not making that up
I also remember a story about a girl being vain and loosing her face...similarly haunting
@@justk4929 ah the episode "kiss and make up" I believe your referring to
I never cared about goosebumps as a kid, so this was my dose of nightmare fuel. the episode Wolf Child haunted me as a 5 year old; why that one in particular, I have no idea. I just remembered hiding under my duvet as a small kid convinced the wolves would come and eat me too.
Wolf Child was probably the scariest episode of the series
What is that episode about?
I remember this show so vividly and couldn’t remember it at all, thank you for bringing this back for me!
Oh my goodness, I remember this show being dubbed to Norwegian when I was little and how fascinated I was with it. I could never remember its name, and apparently nobody else I talk to about it remember it, so finding it again has been such a struggle - until now! Thank you!
It was on NRK right? I vaguely remember an episode about a constantly growing boy shouting "Jeg må ha mere plass!" until he pricked his tongue on a satellite and shrunk to the size of a snail.
had no idea they’d have it here, that’s awesome
Same in Denmark!
The whole eye peeling thing fucked me up badly as a kid. I had issues with going to sleep you see (still do in fact. Its 2am as a write this) but the idea I’d get my eyelids peeled off fucked me up almost as bad as the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who
Ah the weeping angels scared the crap out of me.
At least you won't have to worry about a Weeping Angel if you do lose your eyelids.
In all seriousness, though. Due to automatonophobia (fear of human-like things like mannequins, wax figures, statues, animatronics, or robots), I'd much rather lose my eyelids than have to deal with a Weeping Angel. Mine is so bad that I can't even have plushies designed after humans (though plushies don't cause the fear, they just make me uncomfortable). And forget about porcelain dolls. That's a horror movie waiting to happen, and I'll have no part of it. Give me a porcelain doll, and I'll ex-communicate you so fast that you'll get whiplash.

Me too
I remember one of the darker episodes being about a princess who had a baby, and all her extended family were adamant that the baby had to be born with their specific features, with each family member having a unique trait (squashy nose, big ears, etc).
And when the baby isn't born with any, to stop herself being punished by the family she goes through the castle and cuts all their facial features off to stick onto the baby.
It's never directly said but is heavily implied. Like, Christ on a bike, it's a kids show.

I liked this show a ton, but it always kinda bugged me how the badly behaved children's shitty parents were never the ones to get taught the lessons! One episode that particularly bugged me was one kid getting punished for being 'clumsy', like... how the hell do you have control over something like that? Most of the kids were cartoonishly obnoxious, but the general message of the show kinda came off as 'if you're different or have any kind of personal issue you deserve to die horribly'.
I get it- it's all about the fun horror really, and I love that, just never was a fan of how it was trying to teach kids to be "good" in a super judgey way.
I know right? I’ve always felt especially bad for the girl that got turned into a grub. If I remember correctly, it was her punishment for being too greedy, but it always seemed a bit extreme
I mean, considering how Gretta in that story was accident prone to a ridiculous extreme, where I wouldn't be surprised if she was seen as a public niusance, I can't say I don't understand why her parents would've lost patience with her (despite that celery maid threat arguably being needlessly cruel).
@D's Animation Yard I mean... Considering how she was accident prone to a ridiculous extreme (even slapping a dog so hard, to where it and the owner went flying into a tree), I kind of guessed this was no mere case of common dyspraxia or the likes. (And this is coming from someone, whose dexterity and such isn't great, themselves.)
I’ve never been one for overly gruesome punishments for children having, let’s be honest, very minor character flaws in the grand scheme of things, when the things adults do are so much worse…
@@retrogamelover2012 i have dyspraxia, but in a different way. I'm flexible in my arms, and have double jointed wrists, meaning they are succeptible to pain when doing something for an amount of time.
Man this show was one of my favourites as a kid and you just bought back so many nostalgic memories.
This show played during the Christmas holiday in sweden one year. My parents recorded it and it became our tradition to re-watch it for a good many years, though these days we mostly re-watch Corneil and Bernie instead. That also played during the christmas season and became a family tradition.
So this was a nice little trip down memory lane.
*First the Cramp Twins, now Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids, it honestly feels like you’re reaching directly into my childhood (Please do Wolves, Witches and Giants next).*
Loved that show
Is WW&G animated by the same studio as Grizzly Tales? The style is very similar.
Oh please do! That was a great show for me when I was younger.
@@nathangamble125 yes they were both animated by Honeycomb Animation (or 'Ha!' for short as they're known for)
@@laurenjeffery340 Steve should Review Hoodwinked
It's like a perfect blend between Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Tales from the Crypt, it's a shame the animation was such a problem it would of been so cool if it was fully stop-motion, maybe even each segment having different styles like Crashbox.
Omg! I was thinking the same thing! It's like a morbid version of the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books!😲
What's Mrs. Piggle Wiggle?
I'd forgotten entirely about this show. I've always described the feeling of a bad flu as being filled with spiders and I've never known where I got that imagery from.
This show bloody traumatised me, I wish I was joking lol. Theres one episode that stuck in my brain, there was slugs in it I think, it scared the shit out of 8yr old me
That was probably tongues
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS SHOW, I used to watch it all the time! As a kid they creeped me out, as a young adult I thought it was silly, as a slightly-older adult... it's still pretty silly but now I'm a bit surprised that such dark outcomes were in a kids' show. And from what I hear, the original books were even WORSE.
Oh trust me they were. And it was awesome!!
pretty tame compared to the public service videos though.
I never read the books but now I'm curious...
I'd forgotten this show even existed, but I totally remember watching it. I recgonised it just from one look at the thumbnail and all the memories came back!
It feels like they spent 90% of the budget on the intros before realizing they had to make a full show
“Alright team, I figured we should make a show for children”
“Yea, about what? I ”
“Cautionary tales for kids-“
“Can’t parents teach their kids to behave?”
“I wasn’t done. Cautionary tales about kids dying the most gory deaths ever”
“I don’t see a problem with that!”
“Let’s put it on the air!”
I loved this show growing up. Being a horror fan born in the mid 90s, it was borderline formative and I’m pretty sure it’s moral values were imprinted in my brain over time.
Pretty sure the creator of the show hated children. Sure, there were some that were an absolute pain in the neck, but there were others that, while being pretty inocuous, still got a gruesome end. One that comes to mind is a group of kids that stole apples from an orchard, only to all be murdered and turned into apple juice (or something along those lines) by the farmer. INCLUDING THE DOG.
Yeah, sounds like the farmer should have been the one with a gruesome end for being an abusive asshole
@@Ikajo the parents should’ve pulled a Freddy Krueger and locked the farmer in the house/barn and burn him alive
@@Ikajo and the guy who literally cut out kids' tongues, even if they were being cheeky; whoever's seen the show should make a list of all the "lesson-teachers" who'd get the death penalty for what they did to the kids.
@@sarahsims6164 This show wasn't shown in my country, so I had never heard of it until now.
@@sarahsims6164 They were meant to be over the top and tongue in cheek whilst at the same time dealing with 'crimes' that most kids might actually commit or be tempted to commit. Not many kids would be able to relate to child characters who commit hardcore crimes like murder or assault etc. Petty theft, bullying, rude behavior and constantly eating junk food though? We've all been at least tempted by those behaviors as a kid
I remember watching the Grizzly Tales on HBO on Saturday morning back when I was a kid. I have a vague memory of the show as if it's a fever dream, but the stop motion segment is the most memorable part, especially for that creepy looking narrator and his pet.
The scene where the narrator got knocked by a punching glove to the point of getting decapitated and he's laughing headless as he scared off his pet spider is the only part I remember about the show.
Omg I remember that. The stop motion opening and closing segments sometimes scared me more than the stories lol
That episode your talking about is series 3 episode 3 The Locked Door which aired in 2002
@@laurenjeffery340 I checked it out and I think your correct. Maybe it isn't even a fever dream after all.
I loved watching this show taking discipline to a better fun level
I remember watching this as a kid in Canada in the early 2000s, memory unlocked, I loved this show
Even though I was born in 2008, whenever I went round my nan's house I still very clearly remember this show. I don't know how but I guess they did re-runs of the show well into early 2013-14.
They did i was born 1999 and it was still reruns in 2010
Ok
This show is 100% the reason why I’m such a lover of horror as a genre! I remember coming home from school and watching the 3 Back to back episodes then being sad it was over! Dude, I miss this show so much.
Oh my god, me too! It was always on in time for me to watch a few after school, haha. Now I love horror!
This comment is 100% the reason why I’m such a lover of you x
It’s funny because looking back I notice most of my favourite shows as a kid were the more scary and gruesome ones but now I absolutely hate horror and scare easily. I think it’s a different kind of scary though, you don’t have jump scares and people running for their life from a psychopathic serial killer in a kid’s show. It’s more just dark and unsettling. And I guess I still like dark shows. I like zombie shows and movies, I don’t find them scary at all. But I do fall asleep every night with a light on because I’m scared of getting murdered and I had nightmares after reading the Wikipedia page for the human centipede. Somehow I never got nightmares from any of those creepy kid shows I watched but Doctor who gave me nightmares for years. I was fine watching this show but watch a cyberman kill one person and I was scarred for life.
I'm irish, but we watched a lot of UK kids shows growing up, and my personal disturbing favorite was Trapped! it literally freaked me out so badly, but I always thought it was so cool and wanted to do the tasks because I'd get annoyed at the kids who couldn't do it lol.
15:16 "Impressive they managed to use the word 'hell' in a kid's show" Oh really and not showing a kid getting blended up by a combine harvester???
Or another episode which literally showed a girl being eaten alive by piranhas
@@williampulfer-melville8536 what episode
@@itsmeaiden8788 it was called the piranha sisters and that was about a girl named Dorothy May who wouldn't stop playing pranks on her younger sister PT and one night Dorothy May is visited by a ghostly skeleton who tells her if she doesn't stop playing tricks all the jokes will turn on her and she doesn't listen which leads to her being eaten alive by piranhas when she got into the bath that night
i watched this as a child and i remember in one episode some factory w really bad sanitation skills somehow ended up having a fly in one of their chocolate bars and this one greedy child who was a bully to her sister or something ate that bar or chocolate and she turned into a fly and after that ive never forgotten it :)
She ate a maggot and it grew into a fly and then she turned into one I think
Unlocked a memory
Oh, Death by Chocolate, that was one of my favourites
This is what I have been searching for lmao, I remember watching this show around Sunday Mornings in HBO and I quite like it as a kid. Thank you for making this video.
Nigel Planer was Neil in the young ones, so I feel Nigel’s surreal humour works for this show. I legit loved this show as a kid.
When I was a kid in the 90s There was also a show called "Wolves, Witches and Giants" that had this exact animation style. The wolf in it used to scare the hell out of me, he used to always wiggle his eyebrows up and down in a really creepy way.
It was made by the same people
I also saw this show as a kid
@@lightningfanartgirl I watched a couple of episodes on UA-cam after writing this comment, it's actually quite fun even now to watch. Narrated by Spike Milligan you can hear him holding back laughter while he tells the stories and does ridiculous voices for the characters.
Oh my God, I remember that! I used to laugh my ass off at the wolf.
Damn, I miss the 90's...
I remember that! I legitimately thought it was just an episode of grizzly tales that got carried on, I didn’t realize it was a completely different show!
