For a lot of the comments telling me of things I missed. Instead of replying to them all I will mention a lot of them are ones that I deemed "too well known" for this list. However there were some very interesting ones that I havent heard of that you guys have mentioned. Thanks so much for the help and the support. I will most likely be making more of these in the future! :)
It is sad how SpongeBob went from being just an ordinary Nicktoon, to Nickelodeon’s life-support. If they end SpongeBob, Nickelodeon will most likely shut down.
I agree. That’s probably why they’re milking spongebob now. With that new movie that came out this past year I believe and there was another one that came out a year or two before that. And now apparently there’s a spin-off for Patrick being made.
@Raye Wonderland Thankfully, it got better after the second movie thanks to Stephen Hillenburg returning. What I hate about Nickelodeon is that shortly after Stephen's death, Nickelodeon announced they were going to make Spongebob spinoffs, even though Stephen Hillenburg never wanted any spinoffs of the show. Even Paul Tibbit called out Nickelodeon for their actions, and he was in charge of the dark age seasons (Seasons 6 - 9A) of Spongebob.
The sad part is Nickelodeon offered Jennette McCurdy $300,000 to stay quiet about her interactions with Dan Schneider. She refused and talks about it in her book “I’m glad my mom died”. She refers to him as the creator. I just finished the book this morning and I feel so bad for her as she suffered things she shouldn’t have from both her mom forcing her into acting and Dan giving her coffee mixed with alcohol as a minor
@@trini1990 I had got it for Christmas for myself because everyone who saw the title alone in my family said no even though they complained they didn’t know what to get me. It was really good and I couldn’t put it down.
And where is she now. That’s the thing about Hollywood and the filming industry. You will be rich and famous and all over the world but the minute you start thinking for yourself or decide to talk your done. Some people take the money and move on to bigger things and better career is that right No but that’s hollywood for you
@@josemendez-fd5qz she never wanted a career in acting. Last I heard she is actually starting to get into directing. In fact the only reason she did Sam and cat was because Dan promised her she’d get to direct an episode but that kept being pushed back further into the show before not happening because someone threatened to quit if she got to direct an episode.
Only the last 2 scenes in the first panel and the second panel where disturbing the rest was funny asf, if Rick and Morty did that the world would laugh and applaud
Bruh it looks like a bunch of animators in the 90s just wanted to fuck around making vulgar shit with a kids show, weird yeah? Funny in a fucked up way? Kinda
I wish I could say Schneider was fired for being a creep but it was really because his shows weren't as profitable anymore and he yelled at bunch of execufives in a meeting. Nick doesn't care if their employees are creeps.
Weird that the one time they legit fired a guy for being a creep wasn’t a pedophile, it was Chris Savino (creator of the Loud House) after harassment allegations started to surface from past coworkers throughout his career.
@Wyatt P look it up his shows weren’t making money. It’s all about the money. That’s why big companies continue to keep people working even if they’re convicted pedos. Dan was a creep but he was fired because he wasn’t profitable anymore
Thank you for pointing this out. I love looking into creepy shit. And Dan is a creep and most likely abused (verbally and emotionally) his stars. But there’s no proof it ever went further than that. I love a good witch hunt but there are bigger fish to fry
There’s another murder case that‘s connect to a Nickelodeon cartoon. Randy Stair (Andrew Blaze). Basically this guy had an extremely unhealthy obsession with Ember Mclain, one of the antagonists from Danny Phantom. He was so obsessed with her, to the point where he thought she was a real person, and he saw her as this “Goddess”, believing that she understands him or something. He created a bunch of OCs for a cartoon he made called Ember’s Ghost Squad (basically just recolors of Ember but in different clothes, different hair color, etc..), the stuff he made for the cartoon were pretty messed up and dark, just full on edgy. He believed that he was part of this squad, where once you die, you turn into a ghost girl. He later shot up the supermarket he worked at, killing 3 of his co workers before turning the gun on himself. The fact that Ember’s ability to control people with music makes this case even more disturbing, considering that Randy listened to her song for hours nonstop.
Fun fact: There was one guy who worked for Nickelodeon that was caught on Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator". They caught him and aired the episode for all to see.
The sad part is that Nickelodeon, in its years leading up to their golden age was all about producing innovative and experimental programming and gave kids a space to be messy and subversive. They were "cool, alternative" counterpart to Disney. The problem is that they became a victim of their own success, milking what they believed was working and became afraid to take chances. It's sad that these days they're most known for being the "SpongeBob" channel.
Totally agree. I’m lucky to have watched it from 92 onward. It was quirky, creative, weird, strange, and hilarious. Around the millennium it became bland and sterile, with insipid sitcoms and canned laughter.
No, i'm sorry, you have no idea what you're talking about ''they became a victim of their own success'' Jesus christ are you on the nick payroll now are you?
Tho maybe if you're talking about pre-2000's maybe i can see where you're coming from. Still sus af tho what sort of a channel airs ''ren and stimpy'' and that sort of trash on a kids network Also what was up with all the creepy ass masonic 90's shows huh?
@@RobotronSage why would that put them on nicks payroll? OP is saying that as nick’s success grew, their adventurousness declined. Just bc what you’re claiming is true doesn’t make what they are saying not true. I’m not sure about “ren and stimpi” since I watched more early 2000 stuff(I was born in ‘99) or the masonry stuff but I know nick was capable of getting away with some more “adult”/“mature” themes which, in my opinion, helped launch it into the successful tv network that it once was.
If you think about it, it’s the perfect breeding ground. Sickos will go where they have access to children and feel like they won’t get caught. It’s sad.
A few things 1- I hate how most of the show I grew up on had a lot of creeps or abuse behind them. 2- I hate that he’s using being bipolar as a cover for being a creep. I’m bipolar and never once even and will never do anything like that.
Also bipolar, it doesn’t cause pedophilia 😭Mental illness is NEVER an excuse for immoral behavior, ESPECIALLY predatory behavior with horrible lasting effects on the victims.
@@jmac356 there are two types, but my type makes me overconfident and extremely impulsive during one part of the year and horribly depressed and self effacing the rest. Doesn’t cause pedophilia.
@@jmac356 I guess the impulsive part of it could make somebody more likely to act on seriously fucked up urges, but like the urge has to be there in the first place. For me I’m just kind of a bad friend sometimes 😭
@@targaghjj just wait few years down the line were gonna find out he had 28 children in his basement or something and it was all just hidden by someone
@@DeputyFish nah most likely not lmfaoo. Everyone who’s ever known him said he’s the most genuine guy even strangers who would benefit from exposing him if there was some dirt. Like I remember they said he was extremely nice to a black guy on his show during times where there was still extreme racism in America 🤷🏾
I've been in animation classes and have worked on comics. You would be surprised how often these story board jams get out of hand. Like there's always that one artist who thinks the more shocking it is, the funnier it is. In reality, it's just uncomfortable
Oh wow, I've seen weird storyboards from a bunch of different shows, i dont get how they think its funny. Hopefully u didnt have to deal with them a lot cause it's just so weird 🤮
There’s also a Danny Phantom related killer. He was obsessed with the character Ember and made very dark animations about her and believed she was his girlfriend and encouraged him to do certain things. He opened fire at the supermarket where he worked and multiple people were injured or killed.
I’ve heard of this one. Apparently he believed that when he died, his soul would go to the Danny Phantom world and he’d finally be with his “girlfriend”.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Sam from iCarly. Theirs videos about how awful it was for her to be in the show. The producers wouldn’t let her eat when she wanted so she would “keep her youthful figure” but then have scenes where they make her eat a bunch. I always found those scenes funny but now disturbing
That doesn't seem so horrible, but maybe there was even more to it. Have you heard of how the kid from the original Dennis the Menace was treated? He was locked in his trailer between shoots and didn't even get to interact with or get to know his fellow cast members, FOR YEARS.
Tw: eating disorders Sam's actor is Jeannette McCurdy, what makes this even more sick is that Jeannette suffered from very very bad bulimia. The creator of the show knew this, and still made eating apart of her character.
It was always obvious Dan Schneider was a creep. I used to watch some of those shows with my kids and was surprised about how much foot stuff and panty talk and peeing was in the shows. Very weird
i went to that Nickelodeon resort in like 2013 and it was *horrible*, there were people in huge dora and spongebob costumes and it was so scary, the pools were also super small with a bunch of people in them and the slime bucket was just colored water. i recently went again in the summer of 2021 and it no longer has Nickelodeon’s name attached to it but the same issues still stand lmao
There’s an interview on Defunctland with a former manager of the Nick Hotel. The peak time to go was in the early 2000s basically right when it opened, and even then it was trash tier. I remember asking my parents to go and they said no, and I’m glad they didn’t take me cuz they would’ve been miserable. There’s nothing for adults to do.
My family and I went in 2014, barely a month after my dad had died, and it was nice at the time, but it honestly was pretty bad looking back on it. Best part of the vacation was my mom and I went to the Titanic-themed museum.
It's sad too because whenever I would watch Victorious or Sam and Cat when I was younger, I would see some feet scenes and feel really uncomfortable and thought to myself, "this is so weird to put in a kid's show". Little did I know Dan was doing that until this year.
I can't even watch clips of those Teen Nick shows anymore. Not without feeling guilt. Even the script-writing needs to include some sort of foot related thing. It's uncomfortable, as if he wasn't doing it for Nostalgia
I always thought some scenes were weird especially anything to do with feet. I thought they were odd but I didn’t think much about it as a kid. As an adult, knowing what I know, all of it makes sense and it makes me sick
I related to Helga so much as a kid and as an adult I realize why I did... Yeah. Negligent, emotionally unavailable and irresponsible parents. Living in the shadow of a way older and "perfect" sister. But Helga made me feel a little less lonely and weird.
@@Thanadeez seriously I hated that I was the kid that received all the attention from my parents cuz I was interested in school & my siblings wasn’t I got good grades all thru school but sold drugs & smoked weed just like my other siblings but parents just praised me more for good grades & I hated it cuz I hated school because it was easy for me my other siblings actually did challenging things I was just lazy with a good memory 😩
As a person with Bipolar Disorder, I can safely say being a creeper is not part of it AT ALL... WTF? I can't stand people who blame mental health conditions for horrible actions. Awesome video by the by :)
They do that to get out of legal consequences. It's bogus and a slap in the face to all individuals who struggle with mental health issues who are decent and not at all a predator.
so what you are saying is because you have it that must mean every one else that has it must act the same way you do because you are so fucking special and that there are not different type of Bipolar issues and that they can cause people to act different ways based of what they have because a mental disorder is like a cold if every one has the same type of symptoms
@@jsmith3946 "a mental disorder is like a cold if every one has the same type of symptoms" uh yah that's how we diagnose mental illnesses, we go off the symptoms and they're the same for everyone just varying degrees of intensity. The aforementioned person could become a creeper when they're manic but that's not an inherent symptom of bipolar and sounds more like a predisposition they would have regardless of bipolar. The bipolar might have made it worse when manic, due to impulse control being limited or mitigated. But again people with bipolar aren't inherently creepers and for the person to blame their behavior on bipolar is a copout and cruel to others with bipolar, cause stigma and all that.
As a former child actor, I never had anything type of grooming or forced to do anything. Everyone I worked with was great and very helpful. I’m glad my parents pulled me when they did. It’s such a shame to see that young child stars had to endure such horrible practices.
@@austinarnold155 I was!! I did the TSA training video for new agents and a few but local commercials. I lived in California for a few months and it was a really cool experience.
I had a friend who was a massive icarly fan. She was apart of the livejournal communities and would write fanfic like every other prepubescent and pubescent girl there. And a lot of it was pretty explicit for some godless reason. Apparently, according to her, Dan Schneider, who has a well-documented livejournal account, feel free to look it up, would show up and chat with these fans and tell them that they liked their fan fiction. I don’t think he was ever stupid enough to comment on the inappropriate stuff, but he certainly interacted with his fans in a pretty sus way.
Even in the 90’s and early 2000’s a lot of the body horror in Ren & Stimpy was considered extreme. I couldn’t watch that show because of that one scene where Ren either looses or deliberately pulls out all of his teeth. I don’t like body horror. I remember thinking “what kinda person makes a show for kids where the two main characters are constantly hurting each other/getting injuries like this?” Later I saw how realistically Ren’s abuse of Stimpy was depicted in “Adult Party Cartoon” (an adult version of the show where the characters are implied to be lovers) and I *understood*. Ren *IS* John K and he’s an abusive piece of shit. (The scene where Ren gets mad and starts beating Stimpy as he cries and begs for him to stop while the camera slowly panes away from their house is something I can never unhear. And Ren insisting to the therapist that he still loves Stimpy even if he beats him, when, in a previous scene, he basically said that ever since he was a child the only thing that has ever brought him joy was *torturing* everyone and everything that he felt was too weak to fight back. There. Are. No. Words. )
I remember there was a similar scene in CatDog, about teeth. don't remember specifically but i remember cringing at the thought of it, not sure who's idea it is to put those kinda things into animation, cuz it's not that funny, or at all. I'd say it's just as bad as Dark Harvest
Tom and Jerry was a cartoon where the two main characters abused each other. It also had a lot of Tom forcing himself on female cat scenes as well. But nobody ever says anything negative about it.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy at 16 when you brought up Dan Schneider. There's an interesting theory with evidence that says that the father of her child is Schneider. Very good list overall, though
I was surprised he didn't mention that too. I heard that was why the show ended, but I also heard the show was just ending and the pregnancy was coincidence. Could go either way, but foot man is definitely the baby daddy.
Rocko’s Modern Life was WILD. I’ll never forget the episode where Rocko briefly works as a sex hotline operator. Though I’m sure it sticks out so much to me because of my mother’s and grandmother’s reactions to the scene as it didn’t mean much of anything to my kid brain.
I was a pre-teen/teen when that came out and I don't understand how that joke went over my head. There were so many things in it that was such adult humor and I still loved the hell out of that show
that was the magic about nick back then. they werent afraid to go with dark/adult themes. they knew kids could handle more than we give them credit for. thats y nick is in the state it is now, they lost that edge
Snick was more like Adult Swim than Nick at Night was. You hit the nail on the head that Snick was programming that was more for the older kids. Difference was that it still felt like Nickelodeon programming. Nick at Night felt like a completely different channel with MUCH older shows (I Love Lucy, Dragnet, Get Smart, Dick Van Dyke, etc) that you wouldnt have known it was a Nick programming block. I still LOVED Nick at Night shows as a kid and it was amusing watching the adults look confused when I made references to shows THEY watched. I grew up in the early 90s so I remember wen Snick debuted.
I’m appalled that Nickelodeon continues to hire these people with criminal backgrounds specifically crimes against children. The storyboarding thing though woah. *also the whole thing with Elizabeth Gilles and her husband from Victorious should be talked about more
@@kjvideos2116 Liz Gillies met Michael Corcoran on the set of Victorious when she was 17 and he was 38 (he composed the music for the show). They started dating in 2012 when she was 19 and he was 40 and they got married in 2020. It's very SUS and groomer-y.
That rugrats story board was…..wow that’s literally the definition of “should’ve stayed in the drafts!” What in the hell! Also there is as an Nick employee that was caught on how to catch a predator years ago. His name is Justin Smith.
Why does Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have so much predators? Also isn't it kind of funny how you never hear about any Predators from Cartoon Network (unless there are, and I just never heard about them)
@@kittykittybangbang9367 skyler page wasn’t a child predator but he was kicked off of clarence (the show he created) due to sexual harassment , but that’s all i can think of
@@kittykittybangbang9367 im p sure the creator of steven universe drew ed edd n eddy porn. But after the initial backlash everyone conveniently forgot about it
You know what's sad? My parents taught me that you can redeem yourself if you own your faults and apologize. But true sorrow doesn't always do that, does it? If Dan remorsefully apologized to his actors, he would still be unforgivable. Sometimes your past and mistakes _do_ define you, don't they?
Maybe our boomer parents WEREN'T entirely wrong when they said something felt off about these works and the people workin' on em.. The difference being we found the receipts.
Tier 5 made my jaw drop. Only good thing is this. Brian Peck plays Scuz in Return of the Living Dead, and a zombie does graphically naw his brain out. That scene is now extremely cathartic. I genuinely hope Nickelodeon is doing more extensive background checks, this is horrifying.
One of my favorites is that Hey Arnold is actually about Helga (She's the main protagonist). Other than the title being a direct quote from her and the intro where she's stalking him as usual. She's the only character we go into depth on. We know more about her family than Grandpa and Gerald. She also is the only one with extended monologue. Man I miss those shows. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
But, there’s so many episodes from the show where takes a backend role. Like, the Lockjaw episode or the Pigeon Man episode. Yeah, she’s in both of them, but those two still largely focus on what Arnold is. She only has a few lines in both. And, those are just examples from the more “popular” episodes.
I’m really glad you addressed how sick that rugrats panel was-a lot of other channels parrot the “just blowing off steam” excuse but it’s always horrified me that these creators would draw something like that *as a joke*. The idea of a father grooming and abusing his daughter that way makes my skin crawl, even if it’s just drawn panels. Who the fuck would create something like that “as a joke to blow off steam”??? It’s repulsive and I think it says a lot about the people who made the panel.
Why are you surprised? It's well known that pedos babe Been working there for decades. Dan Schneider being one of the main people there has always been into children
@@white94rabbit Regardless of how known it is that these people are in the industry I don’t think being desensitized is a good thing. I think it’s awful either way, despite how surprising or unsurprising it is
When I heard animators “blow off steam” I would think “wow maybe one of the babes finally tells Angelica she’s mean and spoiled or something like that” I never would’ve thought someone would fall to the pits of depravity and come up with something like that
i remember the dan schneider foot things scaring me as a kid one time carly's toe got stuck on a drain or something and that shit traumatized me i was terrified of that happening to me LMAOOO and the victorious fish episode also traumatized me for a bit
I was 11 when I saw those plots. I definitely was too young to understand people had a thing for feet. Definitely puts most of those episodes in a scary context.
I'm 36 and EVERYONE around my age adored Snick at Night. All That, Clarissa Explains It All, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Kenan & Kel, and my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
Yeah I don’t really watch Hey Arnold, I’m probably going to watch more of it. But even without watching the series I love Helga, she seems like a great character with a ton of potential and personality
She did...... Not move on because Arnold realized how much she cared and they kissed. And idk if the first movie was canon but she confessed her feelings then..
I went to the Nickelodeon hotel, my room was fairy oddparents themed and all I can remember from that place was: 1. Room smelled 2. There was food in the pool, mainly chicken for some reason 3. The water slide was fun, but that’s the only redeeming factor
I’m really glad you didn’t focus on Dan Schneider too much. There’s a million videos already about him and the time could be spent talking about more obscure stuff
Any cool youtubers you can recommend? The YT algorithm just keeps me in a closed censorship loop of like the same 5 creators/content, I'm surprised it even recommended this video.
@@k1m198 hmmm for dan scheider commentary, general commentary, or just random good stuff? I watch a lot of commentary. drew gooden, kurtis conner, and danny gonzalez are fun TRO (the right opinion) does amazing in depth stuff. H3H3 has some good older commentary on pervs like Dan Schneider.
The issue with the whole Fairly Odd Parents theory is that people who genuinely need antidepressants don't just grow out of them at a certain point when they "get better".... That's actually one of the dangers of medications: they can make people think they're better so they stop taking them, then it forms a vicious cycle.
It's dumbfounding. People feel better because of those medications. They're literally life saving and necessary for people with mental illness. I know so many people who stop taking them because they're feeling better or don't think they need em anymore and those are the people that wind up in psych wards, on street drugs or prison. It's sad. Just take your dang meds!!
I would attempt to change my life in the ways that is causing the depression. The commonly accepted theme is that a magical depression fairy sprinkles your brain with a chemical imbalance dust, causing depression, which is a clear case of a "chicken or the egg" issue. I had bouts with depression, changing the cause in my own life that dragged me down, would fix it. Almost everyone I've met with actual cases of real depression, were always people who I could see snippets of that exact issue with. Or otherwise, people are just oppressed or treated like crap by other people perpetually, can cause that as well. I'm a firm believer in not needing antidepressants, especially considering almost every mass shooter has been on them, enough to see a clear pattern with.
Not everyone needs anti-depressants for the rest of their life. It depends heavily on whether you have clinical depression or if your depression is more situational/transient. That being said, you should definitely consult with your therapist, before stopping any medication of that type. Many of them have a weaning off protocol, to avoid the side effects of withdrawal.
Wow, the Rugrats “fanfic” is not funny whatsoever. It’s actually disgusting and depraved. I’m really grossed out that this is what those people really wanted to create. What a fuckin cesspool Nickelodeon was.
I've never been that shaken by iceberg videos, but the Rugrats section from tier 5 literally almost made me vomit. I'm glad that that story never made it into images. The description alone is too disturbing. I can't imagine why any of the workers there thought that was okay to create! That is definitely befitting of the title of 'disturbing nickelodeon media.' It's appalling yet sickly fascinating how twisted the companies behind millions of childhood memories can be. You never know just how horrible people can be... I hate to imagine all the things that the internet *doesn't know* happened. Some terrible secrets could be hidden forever...
@@buttersstan97 i actually thought it was going to be kind of comedic or intriguing until that panel. Like i understand making fucked up parodies of kid shows and blowing off steam(i love listening to the SpongeBob characters swearing and venting). But im not sure i've ever been that wholly disturbed in a matter of seconds, and i usually have a pretty solid tolerance.
I'm on antipsychotics instead of antidepressants, but mental meds really aren't something you go off of when you "get better". You're usually stuck with them for life because chemical imbalances you're born with don't really go away.
Was about to say this. That theory is kinda dumb to me. I have bipolar 2 and once learned the hard way that if i "got better" it just meant my meds were doing what they were supposed to
Are most people dealing with depression born that way? I’m sure it’s hard to say, but it’s a genuine question. Because I feel depression is different from conditions like bipolar or schizophrenia in terms of how or when it originates.
@@Lex161Lexi genetics does play a part but also its scientific proven that when you have one mental illness there’s a high chance of having another mental illness in which both will correlate with each other. it’s often seen in people who have anxiety will also have depression. But depression is also a symptom of anxiety and vice versa. If that makes any sense lol
I always hated Helga but seeing the pre-school Helga that was really cute and nice made me feel hella bad for her after that. Interesting to think back and hear that so many people watched the same shows and enjoyed the same stuff as I did.
animators have famously terrible senses of humor and love sneaking in horrible content into cartoons or making their own terrible "jokes". in fairness most aren't exactly John K's, but if you look in a very cursory way you can find many famous animators making extremely lewd stuff from their most popular work. If you want to see an early example look up "Eveready Harton". However also it's, uh, Rugrats, so that kind of makes everything that much worse...
@@Maialeen it's more about the kind of bizarre dictatorial fights that used to happen around what kind of content was "appropriate" in Rugrats, due to the show runners' internal fights, especially around Angela and how mean she was allowed to be, in context. There was a ton of drama around Rugrats, I always found it interesting.
@@nessaflom umm yeah it can be if it was only meant to be funny and not real of course. I suppose you don't watch any violence then if that's your argument
i think that's because the studio doesn't deal with live action actors and actresses. it's just voice over artists and animators. but still cartoon network is really turning into a nice reprieve from the disney pressure and nickelodeon gross stuff
Funny how the channel that has a space for edgy teenager-oriented stuff like Toonami and Adult Swim is actually the most stand-up about making kids shows be good for kids. People who pretend the adult world doesn't exist are the most dangerous. By far.
@@joecollas9942 there was a guy called Randy Stair who had a small UA-cam channel and became unhealthy obsessed with Danny Phantom and some of the characters from it, he made dark and twisted storylines of his own and fully believed he would become one of them and that they were real people. He eventually shot up a supermarket where he worked and killed three of his coworkers. The whole case is just shocking and I feel so bad for the innocent victims caught up in a young man's serious mental health issues. Eleanor Neale did a video on it if you want more information: ua-cam.com/video/l4yJp2SxsAA/v-deo.html
As a kid, I actually figured Helga's mom was drinkin. Also thought the Rugrats parents were on drugs. I thought Stu was a tweaker, & the ppl coming in & out were buying from him. Made sense to me why the kids weren't watched. The episode where the kids think Stu is a robot, I actually seen this 1st hand when a person living with me was using & finally crashed after a couple of days. I guess when you grow up around that stuff, it changes your world view 😅
This is what sucks because in college I dreamed of being a story board artist for kids cartoons but stuff started coming out and I realized I would be surrounded by people I could never 100% feel safe around as a mother.
@@SukiNoKoe There are other reasons I didn’t continue down that career route. But while everything is risky I will say there are jobs that are less risky than others. I found new passions and other job opportunities that have a friendly work environment 🥰💕
I thought I was prepared for tier 5, but my jaw was on the floor with that Rugrats storyboard. And there is zero reason for pornographic images (cartoon or not) to be in game files that are marketed for and sold to children. Absolutely vile. I can't stop thinking about how much of the childhood entertainment that shaped our formative years is so tainted by the creeps who made it and the things that they openly did / created with absolutely no one holding them accountable. It makes me want to stand outside these creeps houses and just screech like a banshee.
I don't know how well known this is, but SpongeBob did a Squidward's Suicide reference in an episode. Squidward was opening doors to different universes and one door just showed his room, then static and a flashing image of a basically perfect recreation of the Squidward's suicide photo. Nick then got rid of that scene and changed it with a strange image of a baby colored blue with a baby Squidward face, then it poops its diaper and it sounds like a gunshot.
To add to the Angry Beavers thing, Nickelodeon used to have a policy that prohibited any form of fourth wall breaks in their cartoons for the first few years of their channel. They eventually decided to replace the policy in favor of a less restrictive one where, now, none of the characters in a Nickelodeon show are allowed to allude to or acknowledge that their show is ending. Some infer this policy was established so that the show didn’t directly tell the kids that the show ended and that they kept watching in hope of new episodes being released someday. This policy resulted in the Angry Beavers finale, Bye Bye Beavers, being cancelled due to the main joke being the main characters poking fun at the fact that their show is coming to a close and them completely destroying the fourth wall.
That sucks. Still, the actors went out laughing in the casting room due to how ridiculous the script and episode was and enjoyed it including the crew. So ridiculous it was amazing. Nickelodeon literally butchered the beavers, with Bye Bye Beavers; which would've been a great fourth wall breaking finale.
What, they didn't have a policy like that, what they did have was a policy that said none of the characters are allowed to acknowledge that the last episode is the last episode
aaaah! i love hearing respect for how the whole pataki family is written, esp when people talk about miriam. throwing it out here that it's actually explicitly shown that miriam had alcoholic problems and was an alcoholic in the show itself. there are several episodes that talk about how she's gotten, at least, one dui and had to do community service. also, in one of the episodes, it's mentioned that she hasn't yet gotten back her license for that incident. same with her depression. bob consistently points out how miriam shouldn't be lying around and depression moping. the thing that makes miriam such a good character is that even with all her downfalls, issues, and her mental illnesses, she cares about helga quite a lot and she's actually intelligent and when given the chance, showcase an almost insane amount of potential. the whole beeper queen episode showcases this (10/10 one of the best episodes for one of the most realistic and honest characters on the show.) also! it's incredibly amazing looking back on hey! arnold and seeing how well the creators tackled so many hard hitting topics. found family vs blood family, bullying, interracial relationships (romantic and platonic), beauty standards, abandonment issues, etc. hey! arnold and shows like it (as told by ginger, braceface, etc) really handled "adult" topics in a way that made it easy for a child to digest.
with invader zim murder i think its one of those cases where someone has issues and take "inspiration" from some form of media if he did it because of invader zim, if the episode didn't exist he would have found "inspiration" somewhere else and done something equally horrible. Obviously a child doesn't go from being fine to doing something like that solely because of a show their were probably signs that he wasn't okay that his parents ignored
No he doesn't! You kids need to stop making wild assumptions about him. His life has been ruin for no reason other than people making up rumors, theories, or assumptions about him.
There isn’t really evidence beyond conspiracies. That’s typically how SA works, They (abusers) target vulnerable people for a reason and give them things, like drugs or a role etc A lot of victims never feel like they are victims. It however is different in Hollywood so it’s weird how no one has come forward
@@RoyHoy I can only imagine the terrible things that you've either done in real life or the internet. If you're defending him, you need to be looked into. I'm going to figure out some information to see if I'm right. I'm going to be so mad if you have kids.
@@ayamestitcheskurta Yeah, it's sad to see how many sickos helped create the shows I loved as a kid. It's getting hard to watch any reruns these days from Nick (Really makes you wonder about networks behind other shows as well) but I'm also grateful youtubers like Pig are spreading awareness of things like this. The one with Helga always struck home with me, albeit while experiencing a slightly different situation, I thought she was kind of relatable. After seeing her home life years later for what it was, I had a better understanding of what the show was trying to convey. It's telling how many scenes from different Nick shows stand out today knowing what happened and just how many terrible incidents were ignored as if it's normal, and probably still is.
I’m not even a fan of Invader Zim, but I still feel that murder case has nothing to do with it (and they had NO business even mentioning the show in court). That would be like saying Breakfast at Tiffany’s is the reason OJ Simpson murdered Nicole and Ron… I mean Audrey Hepburn wears black gloves in the movie, right? There must be a connection!
TL;DR - Psychopaths just aren't wired like the rest of us. To be fair, it sounds like this kid has several of the hallmarks of psychopathy: Callousness. Lack of empathy and remorse. Sensation-seeking. Impulsiveness. Refusal to accept responsibly for their actions. By no means does it make what he did 'okay' but I understand why the defense tried to scapegoat using "the cartoons made me do it" defense. Especially as a minor, they were hoping this defense would help the kid come across as just a 'normal' and impressionable kid. Given the brutality of the crime, that's clearly not the case. Having had multi-year friendships with two adult psychopaths (both with ego-syntonic sadism) evisceration is an experience that they'd both find exhilarating. One grew up slaughtering sheep on his family farm. The other has talked about how envious he is of the real world 'experience' that the other friend gained from his rural upbringing. They both currently enjoy living life in the 'free world' so unlike the child who committed the murder/evisceration, these friends have found non-criminal ways to meet their psychopathic needs. At least in their case, there's a sadistic enjoyment and voyeuristic curiosity with the suffering of others. One, more so, than the other. But in private, they both have it. It's been a long-standing pattern with both of them. The one psychopath I've known the longest, for almost two decades, even became a licensed mental health professional. Initially, he worked with violent youth offenders because he preferred the excitement and danger of working with that population. Unfortunately, as he's gotten older and has worked in private practice thus refining his mental and emotional manipulation skills, he now specializes in Complex PTSD and survivors of trauma. This unfortunately allows him to hear all the juicy 'sensational' and 'unique' trauma details from his clients, witness their suffering up close, but with these clients he has the added benefit of exploiting the transference/admiration that comes from the therapist/client relationship. It was only within the last year that I learned about psychopathy and realized the patterns that had been hiding in plain sight all this time. Having myself been a therapy client of his, on and off, for almost 15 years, I know the mental and emotional damage his lack of empathy does to vulnerable clients in the therapeutic setting. I blamed myself for years for the callous way he treated me in our sessions. Thankfully, I don't have a history of sexual abuse/trauma. I do however have what I now realize is undiagnosed ASD, which has had _significant_ impacts on my life, socially, professionally, and interpersonally over the last two decades. These chronic 'failures' have lead to severely low self-esteem which he was able to leverage in therapy. From 'love bombing' praise/encouragement, to harsh 'tough love' critism, to neglect and indifference. Every client he treats is vulnerable to this kind of emotional manipulation because of the nature of the therapeutic relationship. The only positive thing to come from two decades of loyalty to a psychopathic therapist is that I know his playbook. I know what 'defenses' to anticipate when coming forward with evidence of his current misconduct. And thanks to my untreated ASD, I have accumulated an ungodly amount of digital documentation that I never bothered to get rid of. I don't believe either of my 'friends' chose to be psychopaths. There's evidence that certain psychopathic traits have a genetic component. However, just like with my ASD, it's THEIR responsibility to seek treatment and hold themselves accountable for their behavior. Because failing to do so has real world consequences. For me, that's the worst part. Psychopaths are incapable of _fully comprehending_ the harm they've done to their victims. Even when they are incarcerated, they lack the empathy to genuinely feel guilt or remorse for the damage they've done. This isn't just an assumption. My psychopathic therapist was the driver in a fatal DUI when he was a high school student. A woman lost her life. He's told myself and several others the details of the accident. He's told me, himself, that he never lost sleep over it. Not even as a kid. Sorry for the long message. 💕
great video, though id like to say Dan being into feet doesnt BY ITSELF inherently make him a creep. it's how he expressed his kink that makes him a creep.
I remember going to the nick hotel when I was 7, which was probably 2011, and for the week we spent there, it was mostly all in the resort. And it definitely wasn't well kept, I do remember finding a pushpop somewhere hidden in the corner of the bed. The theme of the hotel itself was really cool tho
This video didn’t address “You Can’t Do That On Television” nearly enough considering that it was Nickelodeon’s very first number one show and ran for 11 years. It’s also where the channel got it’s trademark “green slime” and would inspire the classic “splat logo” in orange. It also didn’t mention Pinwheel which was not only one of the more important shows but was also the actual name of the channel back in 1977 when it first started before they would later change the name to Nickelodeon
The video didn't address them as much as you might like because they weren't dark and disturbing. They were, for the most part, wholesome and worked well for the flagship programming of a kid's station. Focusing on them in a video that "exposes the iceberg" of the station wouldn't make sense.
Im bipolar myself and I am NOT a pedophile it makes me absolutely sick even thinking about it. Having a mental illness can't be used as an excuse for abusing children or anyone for that matter. It makes me Furious whenever I hear about people blaming their bipolar disorder to do things like that disgraceful acts against humanity has nothing to do with being bipolar or any other mental illness it has to do with being morally poisoned ☠
Nickelodeon had Oh Yeah cartoons. CartoonNetwork had What A Cartoon. Pretty much the same thing on both channels, a place to test show pilots to try to get them picked up into a full series.
@@kittykittybangbang9367 What A Cartoon ran on CN from February 20, 1995 -November 28, 1997. Oh Yeah Cartoons ran on Nickelodeon from July 18, 1998 - July 19, 2002.
It doesn't matter what episode of Invader Zim he watched, no normal person would watch a cartoon and decide to torture and kill people for some reason.
Yep. But at least Jhonen Vasquez told his fans that he enjoyed an ice cream drumstick he's ever tasted in years before telling them Invader Zim is still canceled forever(until Into The Florpus).
I forget where I heard this, but someone summarized the whole “media causes violence” argument by saying that media doesn’t create the monster, it only gives the monster ideas.
@@hhgff778 Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Media doesn’t make people evil and spontaneously do terrible things, the worst media does is give sick people ideas of what to do. With that being said, a person who isn’t evil wouldn’t do such terrible things just because they watch something on tv.
FINALLY, someone talking about the Super Sponge images. I never hear anyone talk about them, and they're one of my favorite things ever, simply due to how hilariously weird they are.
In an episode of "The Wonder Pets," a female designer added a tiny naked lady on a beach scene...it was barely visible but an animator noticed. I don’t know if it was removed 🤣
Nick at Nite was simply a vehicle for Nickelodeon to be able to fill their overnight airtime with things from their syndication catalog. This allowed them to be able to sell more advertising time on their channel by targeting the adult demographic with very little overhead. Once their catalog of original IPs was large enough, they spun Nick at Nite into its own cable channel, much like Cartoon Network did with Boomerang.
I had a feeling there were a lot more going on behind the scenes, not just with Nickelodeon, bur with a lot of major corporations. While I still enjoy creepy/dark cartoons, part of me wondered exactly what goes on in the minds of those who make such cartoons, a big part of me in my youth though that they were doing it just to stand out or break the mold as it were. The older I got, the more I realized, that their are just some psychotic people that exist in this world. The Rugrats storyboard caught me by surprise I will admit, Kind of seem like a tier 5 to me, but dam that's messed up. The worst part to me with these, is the fact that most if not all that are guilty, gets away with a "slap on the wrist" and a warning not to continue to be the worst people that have ever existed.
Some people just think it's fun to go dark and creepy. Doesn't always mean they're depraved. What makes these situations so mind-blowing is that you simply can't tell when someone is that sick more often than not. Sure, sometimes there are signs and then there are situations like Bill Cosby where he seemed like the most wholesome guy in the world.
@@AMVpurgatory True that, I would assume that certain situations in life would have an impact on peculiar creations, and other times it just depends on what that person is into. The reverse role would be more interesting, having an innocent person have a unpredictable past, Bob Ross comes to mind because of his relaxed nature. You would never think that he was a drill sergeant in the military.
@@CaloBrown Exactly. You can never tell. Honestly, the first page of the Rugrats storyboard jam is pretty harmless. I know it's shocking to a lot of people, but as a cartoonist myself, I can verify that we do have a dark sense of humor. There's nothing sinister about it. The absurdity of putting something that twisted into the scenario is funny because it would never happen. That said, there's also a limit. When you come back with multiple pages of graphic incest porn... Yeah. At some point it went past being a joke and someone somewhere was enjoying it too much.
@@AMVpurgatory Yeah, now that I think about it, that is pretty mild compared to some Rp's that I have (unfortunately) stumbled upon, but for some people I believe its all that they know.
@@CaloBrown Definitely. There are also times that do come off as suspicious. Like the infamous "Ren Seeks Help" episode of Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon. It feels very much like John K admitting he's a psychopath and asking "Why is that so wrong? I think it's funny that I'm this way!"
Steve Russel was accused of grooming underaged girls. People should’ve saw that coming as soon as he made that storyboard art. Also, if you ever watched TCAP, a man who worked for Nickelodeon was caught on there and was arrested and he eventually got rehired by Nickelodeon in 2019.
OMG, when you said Bloody Gir, I immediately went back in time to me literally slowing down the episodes, frame by frame. Bloody Gir was quite the obscure internet hole then and honestly mad respect to you for discussing him.
Parents never complained about Cry Baby Lane. It was never heard of because people just forgot about it, not because it was too scary. Teen Nick even re-aired it when the internet found it.
it blows my mind that the producer said Kurt Cobain was arrogant? like he literally just wanted to make a song for a cartoon kids show. that's wholesome af. from what i know about him he was a really good person!!
A friend of mine was one of Kurt’s makeup artists. Her first time working for him, she had an anxiety attack and Kurt helped calm her down and told her it was ok and she could come back for the next shoot to do makeup. He kept his promise and had her come back, and she had done makeup for him (and even Courtney) several times. My friend said he was the kindest and most humble celebrity she had done makeup for in the 90s.
11:00 Crash Nebula is a pretty common thing with TV shows called a "Back Door Pilot". Another good example is the awful episode of The Office where it was just centered on Dwight's family.
That’s terrifying. I hate imagining how much there is under the ocean. Just like- miles upon miles of water and weird ass sea creatures and possibly shipwrecks and sunk submarines and all kinds of wild stuff. Creepy.

However there were some very interesting ones that I havent heard of that you guys have mentioned. Thanks so much for the help and the support.

It is sad how SpongeBob went from being just an ordinary Nicktoon, to Nickelodeon’s life-support. If they end SpongeBob, Nickelodeon will most likely shut down.
I agree. That’s probably why they’re milking spongebob now. With that new movie that came out this past year I believe and there was another one that came out a year or two before that. And now apparently there’s a spin-off for Patrick being made.
They should’ve never got rid of buchman (creator of fairly odd, Danny phantom)
@@JuQui228 How is that weird? That would actually be preferable to most of what nickelodeon's got going on today.
@Raye Wonderland Thankfully, it got better after the second movie thanks to Stephen Hillenburg returning. What I hate about Nickelodeon is that shortly after Stephen's death, Nickelodeon announced they were going to make Spongebob spinoffs, even though Stephen Hillenburg never wanted any spinoffs of the show. Even Paul Tibbit called out Nickelodeon for their actions, and he was in charge of the dark age seasons (Seasons 6 - 9A) of Spongebob.
@@JuQui228 don’t forget Danny Phantom
The sad part is Nickelodeon offered Jennette McCurdy $300,000 to stay quiet about her interactions with Dan Schneider. She refused and talks about it in her book “I’m glad my mom died”. She refers to him as the creator. I just finished the book this morning and I feel so bad for her as she suffered things she shouldn’t have from both her mom forcing her into acting and Dan giving her coffee mixed with alcohol as a minor
Omg how horrible , I was about to get her book but I didn't . Now I'm definitely going to grab it n read it!!

You will be rich and famous and all over the world but the minute you start thinking for yourself or decide to talk your done. Some people take the money and move on to bigger things and better career is that right No but that’s hollywood for you
@@josemendez-fd5qz she never wanted a career in acting. Last I heard she is actually starting to get into directing. In fact the only reason she did Sam and cat was because Dan promised her she’d get to direct an episode but that kept being pushed back further into the show before not happening because someone threatened to quit if she got to direct an episode.
Bruuuhh what the fuck
That Rugrats storyboard was beyond disturbing. It really makes you wonder just how many creeps were working at Nickelodeon.
Sure are a lot of rich Jewish child lovers out there. Even their Jewish bible says it’s not a sin to molest children under 3 ffs…Research the Talmud.
Only the last 2 scenes in the first panel and the second panel where disturbing the rest was funny asf, if Rick and Morty did that the world would laugh and applaud
Bruh it looks like a bunch of animators in the 90s just wanted to fuck around making vulgar shit with a kids show, weird yeah? Funny in a fucked up way? Kinda
Don't defend creeps. It is disturbing af
It's not only nickelodeon it's all of Hollywood
I wish I could say Schneider was fired for being a creep but it was really because his shows weren't as profitable anymore and he yelled at bunch of execufives in a meeting. Nick doesn't care if their employees are creeps.
It’s amazing what some people will turn a blind eye to when they’re making a lot of money
Weird that the one time they legit fired a guy for being a creep wasn’t a pedophile, it was Chris Savino (creator of the Loud House) after harassment allegations started to surface from past coworkers throughout his career.
@Wyatt P look it up his shows weren’t making money. It’s all about the money. That’s why big companies continue to keep people working even if they’re convicted pedos. Dan was a creep but he was fired because he wasn’t profitable anymore
Thank you for pointing this out. I love looking into creepy shit. And Dan is a creep and most likely abused (verbally and emotionally) his stars. But there’s no proof it ever went further than that.
I love a good witch hunt but there are bigger fish to fry
… That’s what they told you.
There’s another murder case that‘s connect to a Nickelodeon cartoon. Randy Stair (Andrew Blaze). Basically this guy had an extremely unhealthy obsession with Ember Mclain, one of the antagonists from Danny Phantom. He was so obsessed with her, to the point where he thought she was a real person, and he saw her as this “Goddess”, believing that she understands him or something. He created a bunch of OCs for a cartoon he made called Ember’s Ghost Squad (basically just recolors of Ember but in different clothes, different hair color, etc..), the stuff he made for the cartoon were pretty messed up and dark, just full on edgy. He believed that he was part of this squad, where once you die, you turn into a ghost girl. He later shot up the supermarket he worked at, killing 3 of his co workers before turning the gun on himself.
The fact that Ember’s ability to control people with music makes this case even more disturbing, considering that Randy listened to her song for hours nonstop.
Yup! Just mentioned it too. U want into immense detail though, thank you!!!
Oh & he believed once u die you're a 10 foot* ghost girl. Forgot that minor detail.
@@thisistheend_777 No problem.

The sad part is that Nickelodeon, in its years leading up to their golden age was all about producing innovative and experimental programming and gave kids a space to be messy and subversive. They were "cool, alternative" counterpart to Disney. The problem is that they became a victim of their own success, milking what they believed was working and became afraid to take chances. It's sad that these days they're most known for being the "SpongeBob" channel.
Makes me so sad. I literally lived off Nickelodeon. SpongeBob is dope but they are running it into the ground
Totally agree. I’m lucky to have watched it from 92 onward. It was quirky, creative, weird, strange, and hilarious. Around the millennium it became bland and sterile, with insipid sitcoms and canned laughter.
No, i'm sorry, you have no idea what you're talking about

@@RobotronSage why would that put them on nicks payroll? OP is saying that as nick’s success grew, their adventurousness declined. Just bc what you’re claiming is true doesn’t make what they are saying not true.
I’m not sure about “ren and stimpi” since I watched more early 2000 stuff(I was born in ‘99) or the masonry stuff but I know nick was capable of getting away with some more “adult”/“mature” themes which, in my opinion, helped launch it into the successful tv network that it once was.
Corey Feldman was right. Child predators are everywhere in children’s media.
If you think about it, it’s the perfect breeding ground. Sickos will go where they have access to children and feel like they won’t get caught. It’s sad.

There’s also a Danny Phantom related killer. He was obsessed with the character Ember and made very dark animations about her and believed she was his girlfriend and encouraged him to do certain things. He opened fire at the supermarket where he worked and multiple people were injured or killed.
I heard but I’m not sure if it was covered by the media that much.
Actually, he believed that if he killed people and then himself, he would be reborn as a female ghost like Ember.
I remember hearing about that. Super fucked up. That kid had issues.
I’ve heard of this one. Apparently he believed that when he died, his soul would go to the Danny Phantom world and he’d finally be with his “girlfriend”.
Simon Whistler made a video about him
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Sam from iCarly. Theirs videos about how awful it was for her to be in the show. The producers wouldn’t let her eat when she wanted so she would “keep her youthful figure” but then have scenes where they make her eat a bunch. I always found those scenes funny but now disturbing
That's double fucked up
That doesn't seem so horrible, but maybe there was even more to it. Have you heard of how the kid from the original Dennis the Menace was treated? He was locked in his trailer between shoots and didn't even get to interact with or get to know his fellow cast members, FOR YEARS.
Tw: eating disorders
Sam's actor is Jeannette McCurdy, what makes this even more sick is that Jeannette suffered from very very bad bulimia. The creator of the show knew this, and still made eating apart of her character.

they used her bulimia against her :(
It was always obvious Dan Schneider was a creep. I used to watch some of those shows with my kids and was surprised about how much foot stuff and panty talk and peeing was in the shows. Very weird

Exactly
i went to that Nickelodeon resort in like 2013 and it was *horrible*, there were people in huge dora and spongebob costumes and it was so scary, the pools were also super small with a bunch of people in them and the slime bucket was just colored water. i recently went again in the summer of 2021 and it no longer has Nickelodeon’s name attached to it but the same issues still stand lmao
There’s an interview on Defunctland with a former manager of the Nick Hotel. The peak time to go was in the early 2000s basically right when it opened, and even then it was trash tier. I remember asking my parents to go and they said no, and I’m glad they didn’t take me cuz they would’ve been miserable. There’s nothing for adults to do.
My family and I went in 2014, barely a month after my dad had died, and it was nice at the time, but it honestly was pretty bad looking back on it. Best part of the vacation was my mom and I went to the Titanic-themed museum.

As a person with Bipolar Disorder, I can safely say being a creeper is not part of it AT ALL... WTF? I can't stand people who blame mental health conditions for horrible actions.
Awesome video by the by :)
They do that to get out of legal consequences. It's bogus and a slap in the face to all individuals who struggle with mental health issues who are decent and not at all a predator.
so what you are saying is because you have it that must mean every one else that has it must act the same way you do because you are so fucking special and that there are not different type of Bipolar issues and that they can cause people to act different ways based of what they have because a mental disorder is like a cold if every one has the same type of symptoms
@@jsmith3946 "a mental disorder is like a cold if every one has the same type of symptoms"
uh yah that's how we diagnose mental illnesses, we go off the symptoms and they're the same for everyone just varying degrees of intensity.
The aforementioned person could become a creeper when they're manic but that's not an inherent symptom of bipolar and sounds more like a predisposition they would have regardless of bipolar. The bipolar might have made it worse when manic, due to impulse control being limited or mitigated. But again people with bipolar aren't inherently creepers and for the person to blame their behavior on bipolar is a copout and cruel to others with bipolar, cause stigma and all that.
@@jsmith3946 the person literally only said that being a creeper is not a symptom of being bipolar, wtf are you talking about
Shut up. Nobody cares about bipolarity. That's up to u to put your mind back. Nickelodeon sucks too. Stop with the pedestal building.

I had a friend who was a massive icarly fan. She was apart of the livejournal communities and would write fanfic like every other prepubescent and pubescent girl there. And a lot of it was pretty explicit for some godless reason. Apparently, according to her, Dan Schneider, who has a well-documented livejournal account, feel free to look it up, would show up and chat with these fans and tell them that they liked their fan fiction. I don’t think he was ever stupid enough to comment on the inappropriate stuff, but he certainly interacted with his fans in a pretty sus way.

If that's the stuff they were willing to expose themselves, who knows how much worse the stuff they kept hidden was.
Even in the 90’s and early 2000’s a lot of the body horror in Ren & Stimpy was considered extreme. I couldn’t watch that show because of that one scene where Ren either looses or deliberately pulls out all of his teeth. I don’t like body horror.
I remember thinking “what kinda person makes a show for kids where the two main characters are constantly hurting each other/getting injuries like this?”
Later I saw how realistically Ren’s abuse of Stimpy was depicted in “Adult Party Cartoon” (an adult version of the show where the characters are implied to be lovers) and I *understood*.
Ren *IS* John K and he’s an abusive piece of shit.
(The scene where Ren gets mad and starts beating Stimpy as he cries and begs for him to stop while the camera slowly panes away from their house is something I can never unhear. And Ren insisting to the therapist that he still loves Stimpy even if he beats him, when, in a previous scene, he basically said that ever since he was a child the only thing that has ever brought him joy was *torturing* everyone and everything that he felt was too weak to fight back. There. Are. No. Words. )
I remember there was a similar scene in CatDog, about teeth. don't remember specifically but i remember cringing at the thought of it, not sure who's idea it is to put those kinda things into animation, cuz it's not that funny, or at all. I'd say it's just as bad as Dark Harvest
it is funny tho
Tom and Jerry was a cartoon where the two main characters abused each other. It also had a lot of Tom forcing himself on female cat scenes as well. But nobody ever says anything negative about it.

I was surprised he didn't mention that too. I heard that was why the show ended, but I also heard the show was just ending and the pregnancy was coincidence. Could go either way, but foot man is definitely the baby daddy.

I was a pre-teen/teen when that came out and I don't understand how that joke went over my head. There were so many things in it that was such adult humor and I still loved the hell out of that show

Omg i remember that episode it made me completely stop watching the show because even as a kid it made me super uncomfortable
Snick was more like Adult Swim than Nick at Night was. You hit the nail on the head that Snick was programming that was more for the older kids. Difference was that it still felt like Nickelodeon programming. Nick at Night felt like a completely different channel with MUCH older shows (I Love Lucy, Dragnet, Get Smart, Dick Van Dyke, etc) that you wouldnt have known it was a Nick programming block. I still LOVED Nick at Night shows as a kid and it was amusing watching the adults look confused when I made references to shows THEY watched.

One of my favorites is that Hey Arnold is actually about Helga (She's the main protagonist). Other than the title being a direct quote from her and the intro where she's stalking him as usual. She's the only character we go into depth on. We know more about her family than Grandpa and Gerald. She also is the only one with extended monologue. Man I miss those shows. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
But, there’s so many episodes from the show where takes a backend role. Like, the Lockjaw episode or the Pigeon Man episode. Yeah, she’s in both of them, but those two still largely focus on what Arnold is. She only has a few lines in both.
And, those are just examples from the more “popular” episodes.
I’m really glad you addressed how sick that rugrats panel was-a lot of other channels parrot the “just blowing off steam” excuse but it’s always horrified me that these creators would draw something like that *as a joke*. The idea of a father grooming and abusing his daughter that way makes my skin crawl, even if it’s just drawn panels. Who the fuck would create something like that “as a joke to blow off steam”??? It’s repulsive and I think it says a lot about the people who made the panel.

The issue with the whole Fairly Odd Parents theory is that people who genuinely need antidepressants don't just grow out of them at a certain point when they "get better".... That's actually one of the dangers of medications: they can make people think they're better so they stop taking them, then it forms a vicious cycle.
It's dumbfounding. People feel better because of those medications. They're literally life saving and necessary for people with mental illness. I know so many people who stop taking them because they're feeling better or don't think they need em anymore and those are the people that wind up in psych wards, on street drugs or prison. It's sad. Just take your dang meds!!

@@hunterverling5857 yeah, no he's not wrong at all.
I would attempt to change my life in the ways that is causing the depression. The commonly accepted theme is that a magical depression fairy sprinkles your brain with a chemical imbalance dust, causing depression, which is a clear case of a "chicken or the egg" issue. I had bouts with depression, changing the cause in my own life that dragged me down, would fix it. Almost everyone I've met with actual cases of real depression, were always people who I could see snippets of that exact issue with. Or otherwise, people are just oppressed or treated like crap by other people perpetually, can cause that as well. I'm a firm believer in not needing antidepressants, especially considering almost every mass shooter has been on them, enough to see a clear pattern with.
Not everyone needs anti-depressants for the rest of their life. It depends heavily on whether you have clinical depression or if your depression is more situational/transient. That being said, you should definitely consult with your therapist, before stopping any medication of that type. Many of them have a weaning off protocol, to avoid the side effects of withdrawal.

I'm on antipsychotics instead of antidepressants, but mental meds really aren't something you go off of when you "get better". You're usually stuck with them for life because chemical imbalances you're born with don't really go away.
Was about to say this. That theory is kinda dumb to me. I have bipolar 2 and once learned the hard way that if i "got better" it just meant my meds were doing what they were supposed to
I was just about to say that. People that believe this stuff just do not understand that going off your meds can make depression worse.
Are most people dealing with depression born that way? I’m sure it’s hard to say, but it’s a genuine question. Because I feel depression is different from conditions like bipolar or schizophrenia in terms of how or when it originates.
@@Lex161Lexi genetics does play a part but also its scientific proven that when you have one mental illness there’s a high chance of having another mental illness in which both will correlate with each other. it’s often seen in people who have anxiety will also have depression.

It’s weird too because their content can arguably be considered the darkest of the three.
i think that's because the studio doesn't deal with live action actors and actresses. it's just voice over artists and animators. but still cartoon network is really turning into a nice reprieve from the disney pressure and nickelodeon gross stuff
probably because they rarely make live-action content, and as such there are less real children involved

To add to the Angry Beavers thing, Nickelodeon used to have a policy that prohibited any form of fourth wall breaks in their cartoons for the first few years of their channel.
They eventually decided to replace the policy in favor of a less restrictive one where, now, none of the characters in a Nickelodeon show are allowed to allude to or acknowledge that their show is ending.
Some infer this policy was established so that the show didn’t directly tell the kids that the show ended and that they kept watching in hope of new episodes being released someday.
This policy resulted in the Angry Beavers finale, Bye Bye Beavers, being cancelled due to the main joke being the main characters poking fun at the fact that their show is coming to a close and them completely destroying the fourth wall.
That sucks. Still, the actors went out laughing in the casting room due to how ridiculous the script and episode was and enjoyed it including the crew. So ridiculous it was amazing. Nickelodeon literally butchered the beavers, with Bye Bye Beavers; which would've been a great fourth wall breaking finale.

aaaah! i love hearing respect for how the whole pataki family is written, esp when people talk about miriam. throwing it out here that it's actually explicitly shown that miriam had alcoholic problems and was an alcoholic in the show itself. there are several episodes that talk about how she's gotten, at least, one dui and had to do community service. also, in one of the episodes, it's mentioned that she hasn't yet gotten back her license for that incident. same with her depression. bob consistently points out how miriam shouldn't be lying around and depression moping. the thing that makes miriam such a good character is that even with all her downfalls, issues, and her mental illnesses, she cares about helga quite a lot and she's actually intelligent and when given the chance, showcase an almost insane amount of potential. the whole beeper queen episode showcases this (10/10 one of the best episodes for one of the most realistic and honest characters on the show.)
also! it's incredibly amazing looking back on hey! arnold and seeing how well the creators tackled so many hard hitting topics. found family vs blood family, bullying, interracial relationships (romantic and platonic), beauty standards, abandonment issues, etc. hey! arnold and shows like it (as told by ginger, braceface, etc) really handled "adult" topics in a way that made it easy for a child to digest.
with invader zim murder i think its one of those cases where someone has issues and take "inspiration" from some form of media if he did it because of invader zim, if the episode didn't exist he would have found "inspiration" somewhere else and done something equally horrible. Obviously a child doesn't go from being fine to doing something like that solely because of a show their were probably signs that he wasn't okay that his parents ignored
Dan obviously has something on ALL his victims.
He was clearly smart enough to get what he needed before he, "took what he wanted."

It's telling how many scenes from different Nick shows stand out today knowing what happened and just how many terrible incidents were ignored as if it's normal, and probably still is.
same
Yeah. Definitely not watching rugrats now. Seriously fuck the guys behind the show
I’m not even a fan of Invader Zim, but I still feel that murder case has nothing to do with it (and they had NO business even mentioning the show in court). That would be like saying Breakfast at Tiffany’s is the reason OJ Simpson murdered Nicole and Ron… I mean Audrey Hepburn wears black gloves in the movie, right? There must be a connection!
American judicial system has been a joke for decades now. Just pray you never get caught up in it.
Invader Zim was actually a decent show, too bad they had to taint its reputation with something like this!
TL;DR - Psychopaths just aren't wired like the rest of us.
To be fair, it sounds like this kid has several of the hallmarks of psychopathy: Callousness. Lack of empathy and remorse. Sensation-seeking. Impulsiveness. Refusal to accept responsibly for their actions.
By no means does it make what he did 'okay' but I understand why the defense tried to scapegoat using "the cartoons made me do it" defense. Especially as a minor, they were hoping this defense would help the kid come across as just a 'normal' and impressionable kid. Given the brutality of the crime, that's clearly not the case.
Having had multi-year friendships with two adult psychopaths (both with ego-syntonic sadism) evisceration is an experience that they'd both find exhilarating. One grew up slaughtering sheep on his family farm. The other has talked about how envious he is of the real world 'experience' that the other friend gained from his rural upbringing.
They both currently enjoy living life in the 'free world' so unlike the child who committed the murder/evisceration, these friends have found non-criminal ways to meet their psychopathic needs. At least in their case, there's a sadistic enjoyment and voyeuristic curiosity with the suffering of others. One, more so, than the other. But in private, they both have it. It's been a long-standing pattern with both of them.
The one psychopath I've known the longest, for almost two decades, even became a licensed mental health professional. Initially, he worked with violent youth offenders because he preferred the excitement and danger of working with that population. Unfortunately, as he's gotten older and has worked in private practice thus refining his mental and emotional manipulation skills, he now specializes in Complex PTSD and survivors of trauma. This unfortunately allows him to hear all the juicy 'sensational' and 'unique' trauma details from his clients, witness their suffering up close, but with these clients he has the added benefit of exploiting the transference/admiration that comes from the therapist/client relationship. It was only within the last year that I learned about psychopathy and realized the patterns that had been hiding in plain sight all this time.
Having myself been a therapy client of his, on and off, for almost 15 years, I know the mental and emotional damage his lack of empathy does to vulnerable clients in the therapeutic setting. I blamed myself for years for the callous way he treated me in our sessions. Thankfully, I don't have a history of sexual abuse/trauma. I do however have what I now realize is undiagnosed ASD, which has had _significant_ impacts on my life, socially, professionally, and interpersonally over the last two decades. These chronic 'failures' have lead to severely low self-esteem which he was able to leverage in therapy. From 'love bombing' praise/encouragement, to harsh 'tough love' critism, to neglect and indifference. Every client he treats is vulnerable to this kind of emotional manipulation because of the nature of the therapeutic relationship.
The only positive thing to come from two decades of loyalty to a psychopathic therapist is that I know his playbook. I know what 'defenses' to anticipate when coming forward with evidence of his current misconduct. And thanks to my untreated ASD, I have accumulated an ungodly amount of digital documentation that I never bothered to get rid of.
I don't believe either of my 'friends' chose to be psychopaths. There's evidence that certain psychopathic traits have a genetic component. However, just like with my ASD, it's THEIR responsibility to seek treatment and hold themselves accountable for their behavior. Because failing to do so has real world consequences.
For me, that's the worst part. Psychopaths are incapable of _fully comprehending_ the harm they've done to their victims. Even when they are incarcerated, they lack the empathy to genuinely feel guilt or remorse for the damage they've done. This isn't just an assumption. My psychopathic therapist was the driver in a fatal DUI when he was a high school student. A woman lost her life. He's told myself and several others the details of the accident. He's told me, himself, that he never lost sleep over it. Not even as a kid.
Sorry for the long message. 💕
Yea that's a stretch for sure
great video, though id like to say Dan being into feet doesnt BY ITSELF inherently make him a creep. it's how he expressed his kink that makes him a creep.
I’m 32 and recall most of this. The part when he said you’d want to go to the resort then realize you’re broke… that hit home
I remember going to the nick hotel when I was 7, which was probably 2011, and for the week we spent there, it was mostly all in the resort. And it definitely wasn't well kept, I do remember finding a pushpop somewhere hidden in the corner of the bed. The theme of the hotel itself was really cool tho
I remember going there in 2013, at the pool, with a dead squirrel at the bottom and someone saying that that was Sandy
I broke my elbow going down one of the waterslides in 2007
i’m glad i didn’t go i begged my parents but now after seeing what was going on i understand why
Lmao yes I went as a teen with my family it was madd dirty
@@raxusveritas that’s low key funny asf
This video didn’t address “You Can’t Do That On Television” nearly enough considering that it was Nickelodeon’s very first number one show and ran for 11 years. It’s also where the channel got it’s trademark “green slime” and would inspire the classic “splat logo” in orange. It also didn’t mention Pinwheel which was not only one of the more important shows but was also the actual name of the channel back in 1977 when it first started before they would later change the name to Nickelodeon
I loved that show. I remember the lockers.
That was my favorite show. very early nick was more about the skits and comedy.
The video didn't address them as much as you might like because they weren't dark and disturbing. They were, for the most part, wholesome and worked well for the flagship programming of a kid's station.
Focusing on them in a video that "exposes the iceberg" of the station wouldn't make sense.
VERY TRUE
to find out the 14 year old boy was drake bell breaks my heart
Have you watched the quiet on set yet?
Um why? It shouldn't matter who it is, or whether it is someone you knew and liked. It should be just as heartbreaking
@@DreamBelief it is just as heartbreaking you dumb mf we watched this kid on tv for years and we never even knew ???? the fuck
@@rehanaparvin7320 no ive not
Im bipolar myself and I am NOT a pedophile it makes me absolutely sick even thinking about it. Having a mental illness can't be used as an excuse for abusing children or anyone for that matter. It makes me Furious whenever I hear about people blaming their bipolar disorder to do things like that disgraceful acts against humanity has nothing to do with being bipolar or any other mental illness it has to do with being morally poisoned ☠
Nickelodeon had Oh Yeah cartoons. CartoonNetwork had What A Cartoon. Pretty much the same thing on both channels, a place to test show pilots to try to get them picked up into a full series.
Thank you, that drove me crazy for some reason.
Either that or the creators could have pitched the idea to Nickelodeon 1st, and then Cartoon Network later on. E. G. Adventure Time
@@kittykittybangbang9367 What A Cartoon ran on CN from February 20, 1995 -November 28, 1997. Oh Yeah Cartoons ran on Nickelodeon from July 18, 1998 - July 19, 2002.
the fact that you can coerce and groom and hurt a child like that and only get 6 months in prison? the world is f*cked
So many UA-camrs -- but you are really good at this. Great voice, great content, just enough energy without being obnoxious... Keep up the good work..
It doesn't matter what episode of Invader Zim he watched, no normal person would watch a cartoon and decide to torture and kill people for some reason.
Yep. But at least Jhonen Vasquez told his fans that he enjoyed an ice cream drumstick he's ever tasted in years before telling them Invader Zim is still canceled forever(until Into The Florpus).
Oh really????!!!!
I forget where I heard this, but someone summarized the whole “media causes violence” argument by saying that media doesn’t create the monster, it only gives the monster ideas.
@@specter1586 maybe, but even then the one who did it is like 99% responsible for it.
@@hhgff778 Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Media doesn’t make people evil and spontaneously do terrible things, the worst media does is give sick people ideas of what to do. With that being said, a person who isn’t evil wouldn’t do such terrible things just because they watch something on tv.
pig doing iceberg vids and getting more into the crime/paranormal side of youtube is the christmas gift i needed

N the my my m.
Mmmm.
No nmn
FINALLY, someone talking about the Super Sponge images. I never hear anyone talk about them, and they're one of my favorite things ever, simply due to how hilariously weird they are.
I think Did You Know Gaming covered it. To my understanding, they were only in an alpha build of the game too.
"Let's put the Nick resort right next to Disney World"
Probably one of the biggest f*ck ups of all time. And yes, as a kid I wanted to go there.
You’re the only youtuber I don’t skip for your sponsorships. Absolutely love the work you put into the videos Pig!
I will probably never forget that horrific Rugrats storyboard. I just.... I can't believe anyone would think that let alone draw it.
@@dtxspeaks268 No there isn't a big "amount" of them. Stop with that pizzagate bs
@@WinterandNoodle then you haven't been in certain communities. Or maybe you're one of them pulling a poor desperate attempt to hide your tracks
@@WinterandNoodle I bet you have pronouns on your Instagram and Twitter profiles
@@WinterandNoodle I bet you're into that sht too and just covering your tracks. That's what you gay whyte boys are into anyways
@@dtxspeaks268 When u pulled out pronouns into matter just confirmed u're a Pizzagate type,lol
as an animator who also works for Nickelodeon, I love the invader Zim Easter egg. We hide shit in episodes all the time!
In an episode of "The Wonder Pets," a female designer added a tiny naked lady on a beach scene...it was barely visible but an animator noticed. I don’t know if it was removed 🤣
Nick at Nite was simply a vehicle for Nickelodeon to be able to fill their overnight airtime with things from their syndication catalog. This allowed them to be able to sell more advertising time on their channel by targeting the adult demographic with very little overhead. Once their catalog of original IPs was large enough, they spun Nick at Nite into its own cable channel, much like Cartoon Network did with Boomerang.
Anyone remember house of Anubis? I genuinely believe that show could’ve really been something if they would’ve made more seasons.
THAT WAS MY SHIIITTT😩🤞
Literallymy mom did not want me to watch it back then tho
Aired in Australia on ABC3 and was genuinely fantastic. Curious to see if it still lives up to that today. But 100%, would have loved more seasons.
I recently tried searching for it to watch it-
@@ghosted4491 did you find anything? I’m pretty sure you can only buy it on Amazon prime right now.
I had a feeling there were a lot more going on behind the scenes, not just with Nickelodeon, bur with a lot of major corporations. While I still enjoy creepy/dark cartoons, part of me wondered exactly what goes on in the minds of those who make such cartoons, a big part of me in my youth though that they were doing it just to stand out or break the mold as it were. The older I got, the more I realized, that their are just some psychotic people that exist in this world.
The Rugrats storyboard caught me by surprise I will admit, Kind of seem like a tier 5 to me, but dam that's messed up. The worst part to me with these, is the fact that most if not all that are guilty, gets away with a "slap on the wrist" and a warning not to continue to be the worst people that have ever existed.
Some people just think it's fun to go dark and creepy. Doesn't always mean they're depraved. What makes these situations so mind-blowing is that you simply can't tell when someone is that sick more often than not. Sure, sometimes there are signs and then there are situations like Bill Cosby where he seemed like the most wholesome guy in the world.
@@AMVpurgatory True that, I would assume that certain situations in life would have an impact on peculiar creations, and other times it just depends on what that person is into. The reverse role would be more interesting, having an innocent person have a unpredictable past, Bob Ross comes to mind because of his relaxed nature. You would never think that he was a drill sergeant in the military.
@@CaloBrown Exactly. You can never tell. Honestly, the first page of the Rugrats storyboard jam is pretty harmless. I know it's shocking to a lot of people, but as a cartoonist myself, I can verify that we do have a dark sense of humor. There's nothing sinister about it. The absurdity of putting something that twisted into the scenario is funny because it would never happen.
That said, there's also a limit. When you come back with multiple pages of graphic incest porn... Yeah. At some point it went past being a joke and someone somewhere was enjoying it too much.
@@AMVpurgatory Yeah, now that I think about it, that is pretty mild compared to some Rp's that I have (unfortunately) stumbled upon, but for some people I believe its all that they know.
@@CaloBrown Definitely. There are also times that do come off as suspicious. Like the infamous "Ren Seeks Help" episode of Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon. It feels very much like John K admitting he's a psychopath and asking "Why is that so wrong? I think it's funny that I'm this way!"
Hopefully this vid reaches to tons of people and boosts pig's channel, he's a genius
He's a genius? What is he good at math or somethin'?
whoever is in your pfp sure got a pretty dope hat c:
Yes especially because this iceberg is a generally new idea so props to him for hopping on icebergs without copying others too!
Couple channels did this one before lol
the fact that this video was made 2 years ago...
Steve Russel was accused of grooming underaged girls. People should’ve saw that coming as soon as he made that storyboard art.
Also, if you ever watched TCAP, a man who worked for Nickelodeon was caught on there and was arrested and he eventually got rehired by Nickelodeon in 2019.
The man name is Former Deputy brian beck the one that got arrested on rapping an 14 year old, let out and let back by Nickelodeon.
@@ellenworksmiraclesllc8865 no I ended up having to find his name. His name was Justin smith
OMG, when you said Bloody Gir, I immediately went back in time to me literally slowing down the episodes, frame by frame.
Bloody Gir was quite the obscure internet hole then and honestly mad respect to you for discussing him.
Parents never complained about Cry Baby Lane. It was never heard of because people just forgot about it, not because it was too scary. Teen Nick even re-aired it when the internet found it.
I really appreciate the work that went into this. That said, you hurt my heart a little bit when you said you didn't remember SNICK. 💔
I remember snick. Pepperidge farm remembers snick
it blows my mind that the producer said Kurt Cobain was arrogant? like he literally just wanted to make a song for a cartoon kids show. that's wholesome af. from what i know about him he was a really good person!!
Maybe the producer was arrogant
Kurt Cobain was the best 🥺
A friend of mine was one of Kurt’s makeup artists. Her first time working for him, she had an anxiety attack and Kurt helped calm her down and told her it was ok and she could come back for the next shoot to do makeup. He kept his promise and had her come back, and she had done makeup for him (and even Courtney) several times. My friend said he was the kindest and most humble celebrity she had done makeup for in the 90s.
11:00 Crash Nebula is a pretty common thing with TV shows called a "Back Door Pilot". Another good example is the awful episode of The Office where it was just centered on Dwight's family.
I am a little upset that Crash Nebula never became a full series, it had so much potential
.
On a lighter note, sort of. Icebergs freak me out. All of that ice under the water. I think the biggest recorded one was around 1664 square miles. No.
Say WHAT
@@Edsomthing innit
That’s terrifying. I hate imagining how much there is under the ocean. Just like- miles upon miles of water and weird ass sea creatures and possibly shipwrecks and sunk submarines and all kinds of wild stuff. Creepy.
@@bigpapamagoo8696 yeah, screw it all. Then you have the Marianas trench and how it can fit almost the entire mount Everest
