Confession: I used to think Caillou’s parents being named Boris and Doris was something Goanimate people came up with but apparently according to the official website there are their actual names. Wow they’re both brunette and their names rhyme.
going frame by frame on the random list of scrolling characters was a trip. In one section alone there were several object show characters, tdi characters, the ratatoing thing, devil homer, the mascot of baby einsteins, and fred himself
99% sure that list was made by someone born in the late 2000s cause i was also born in the late 2000s and i recognized half the kids show characters on that list.
I actually feel nostalgic for grounded videos back in 2019, but I distanced myself from the community since 2022-2023 due to increased toxicity in the community
i remember one time i saw a truck for a local business that had a goanimate comedy world oc and i was flipping out bc it was actually used for its intended purpose
I’m 20, I used to make go animate videos back in 2014 and used to actually makes stories, the grounded videos actually used to piss me off as a kid, I still can’t believe people are still making them but they’re even worse now💀
Speaking of stories, I remembered watching one where a ytuber made caillou’s dad a villain and how they did some twist where Dorris “died,” but shocker, she lived and apparently he had an accomplice as well (the teacher). I don’t know if it’s still on UA-cam anymore, or the exact detail of what happens in the episodic series, but I remember being so invested in the story before it eventually reached its end.
I’m 21 and I didn’t even know what go animate was until a few months ago. I didn’t start watching UA-cam until 2013 and the only content I ever watched was about Sonic. I wasn’t really a UA-cam kid though. I preferred watching sonic x and sonic satAM on the tv and playing the games on my Wii. I would say I didn’t start engaging with brainrot until 2016, unless you consider sonic to be brainrot which is fair 😂
Finally!! A person who finally makes a video talking about all types of goanimate videos that I also find ridiculous, honestly people who are goanimaters should stop taking the idea from one to another, and then it goes on and one until a person finds them annoying (Edit: the other grounded videos you forgot to mention is getting grounded for absolutely nothing, misbehaving/behaving at trips, restaurants, stores, getting held back/up, a bad character grounding a good character and a good character grounding a bad character when they're not a part from their own)
As someone who used to be in this "community" when I was 13, this kind of content attracted my lil autistic mind with how funny it is to mash your random fixations together shitting on a random character you hate, especially if it's from a preschool show. They were also a guilty pleasure due to how stupid as hell the grounded vids were
They only hate preschool shows (except Thomas the Tank Engine) for two reasons. One, they’re too old for them, two, they just want to be hip and cool. However, a friend of mine who was an ex-GoAnimator, from his experiences, most of the GoAnimators don’t hate preschool shows anymore; when I witnessed some or many GoAnimators who likes Blue’s Clues, I thought they hated every preschool shows except hypocritically Thomas the Tank Engine and now Blue’s Clues until the aforementioned ex-GoAnimator told me they don’t hate preschool shows anymore. When you said community with quotation marks, that reminds me of something; a few of my friends who were against GoAnimate, they described the GoAnimate community as a cult.
Looking at it now, it’s funny how any of the other bad cards were fine with the usual angry or disappointed face while giving a reasonable or somewhat reasonable punishment, only for the black card one to result in a loud voice with the teacher giving some absurd punishment. There was one I remembered seeing where when it got to the character with the black card, the screen turned red while shaking violently with some explosion inserted to said background. Pretty crazy one person created that idea and people thought, “huh, that’s a great idea to use for a character I really hate” and it becoming a trend.
Despite all of this weird stuff, I remember one GoAnimate video that was quite good and is probably lost media and I can't find it. The video begins in Caillou's room, as he wakes up and his family and Dora's family go for a vacation. However things don't go too well and they crash on an island. They manage to find eachother and Doris (Caillou's mom) goes to find something, but nearly dies, and there was a flashback sequence of her entire life with years marked on the top: her birth, marriage and Caillou's and Rosie's birth. At the end they got rescued by someone and this is all that I can remember. I remember Caillou saying "Am I in heaven?" when he woke up on the island. Let me know, if someone also remembers it, or knows where to find it.
I remember getting in trouble for watching GoAnimate stuff when I was like 5 or 6, my mom would call this stuff "Naughty Caillou". Now at 14 I make Goanimate stuff and seeing how this Goanimate stuff has never changed is wacky
I remember my mom walking in on watching Caillou Go!Animate and saying “I don’t want you watching this animate” or something like that when I was 6 because of the loud shit and cussing.
The first GoAnimate video I ever watched was one where a guy got grounded for stealing a DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. UA-cam recommended me that because back then (and still now) I was a huge Alvin fan, and then after that I fell down the rabbit hole of Kayloo and Dora and Little Bill and all the other kids cartoon characters that got dragged into this.
The first one I ever saw was something about Caillou placing an alcohol bottle outside their front door before blaming it on his sister who ended up getting sent to jail.
Great video. I used to watch this stuff all the time, but one day I developed a brain stem. I will say I had no idea this was the origin of UTTP, but it definitely makes sense. I also didn’t see this mentioned but was also this trend of “teeth guys”. It involved characters with red skin and comically large mouths that would say the most edgy offensive shit the creators’ developing minds can conjure. Honestly if you didn’t want to put this in the video I’m not surprised given that it is a small sub genre of the community (and putting it in the video will get you demonetized instantly). Just goes to show you how deep the GoAnimate rabbit hole really is.
Back in 2019 I was a (now former) GoAnimate girl. However I've only used the platform to make original and efforted content (I have several unfinished movie & mini-movie projects but one movie I completely finished by the end of 2020 remains as one of my most nostalgic and popular projects to this day (which is still on my channel)) and therefore I debuted in the community in 2019 with the intention of making original content with carefully plotted storylines, taking inspiration from another original content creator in the community, Kaneedian (formerly Canadian Scout). Not once did I bother even trying to make a single grounded video or any unoriginal shit other creators have made, because even if I wanted to, I would have zero motivation to do so. Eventually I was losing motivation overall being in the community even though I was having fun making content I enjoyed making, because people in the community seriously screwed me up mentally. I went through a difficult depression era in 2020 and by 2021 I officially left the GoAnimate community to make my debut in the Toontown community (after my boyfriend introduced me to the game) and give more attention to my mental health. By 2022 I slowly overcame my depression and now I'm living a significantly better life. I'm now officially an adult with a more mature mindset. I'm happy with where I'm at now in terms of both my UA-cam career and my life and I will never relive my oldest era again. I'm not willing to interact with anyone in the GoAnimate community anymore, especially the ones who never matured or grew up.
As an experienced GoAnimator since 2016, I remember watching one of the mid-2016 caillou gets grounded vids. But yea, i started to realize that most of the Entire Goanimate community nowadays, It became a "hell Community" that users do nothing but causing more drama than ever before.
This doesn’t have anything to with GoAnimate, more so brain rot, but why the fuck are people genuinely afraid of opening EXE files on their computer? I know it has to do with Sonic.EXE and other god-awful .EXE creepypastas, but the amount of people that i’ve seen who genuinely believe something bad will happen if they open EXE files on their computer is crazy.
I'm a 2005 baby, so I am mid-Gen Z, I used to be obsessed with GoAnimate since I was 10 in 2015, used to watch grounded videos when I was 9 in 2014, I remember attempting to make a grounded video for the first time but yeah it never worked and ever since the comedy world was removed on July 26 2016, I completely stopped using GoAnimate and never made any videos on there ever again. If I don't remember, I also used to watch Barney errors since 2014 and completely stopped since 2022 and never watched again since then there was only few good GoAnimators back then but not anymore since they changed
I’m also a 2005 baby too! I used to watch them at the same age, and made some of my own, I used Requestly to get back the Comedy World stuff and made some characters, it was fun, I made like two porn videos bro
I absolutely love how I just watched a Caillou Grounded video and it was 1 hour long, I watched it, and… the grounding part was why it was 1 hour long, Gigazillion numbers and grounded words.
I was already starting college by the time these GoAnimate videos became popular. Thank god for me being an early enough Gen Z person to *NOT* have this part of my impressionable youth.
I just feel somewhat nostalgic for the goanimate videos as they somehow contributed to my childhood( for the wrong reasons) those videos taught me how to speak English and also taught me the English swear words but I feel very nostalgic
I’m starting to think this is a secret fetish because I see grounded compilations on UA-cam which is often lumped into the fight cloud compilations AKA something that REALLY IS a fetish. The grounding fetish ( especially when paired with the punishment day videos ) is alot worse because once you watch enough of this slop, it starts to feel similar to hurtcore, especially in the more extreme cases.
you forgot about the end of life videos, the goanimate users treat the windows end of support as the end of the world with an windows shaped meteorite destroying a windows os building
honestly as a kid, i didnt like this series often, but it was popular and i dont know what to go with it, atleast the trend died after the go animate community died for a dark truth of it, but hey, i miss the old goanimates but i do not miss grounding videos, i just miss the cool animations they made with it honestly, ya, thats everything
Zillennials and earlier generations learned about 9/11 through witnessing it live, or hearing about it shortly after. I learned about 9/11 when I was 7, when my mom showed me a short video covering what happened. You learned about it through a damn GoAnimate grounded video
As a gen alpha myself, my brother got me into goanimate, and blasted this shit everyday years ago, and I love it, even if it’s shit, but it’s funny, I will choose Goanimate over skibidi toilet any day.
Oh god, you just sent me on a “nostalgia” trip… I remember watching these videos when I was younger, especially those punishment day videos. I remember this one punishment day video where it was an hour long torture fest to a 4 year old. I don’t know if the creator made this as a way to satirize how brutal and gross these videos can get, or if he actually believed that Caillou was a spawn of satan. But yeah, these videos were wild.
Finally, a simple, self aware, comprehensive video on this topic. I genuinely thought I was all alone with this opinion! My young cousins were the ones who first showed goanimate to me and I have to say I was fascinated by how many topics and themes it covers - from funny little pieces of computer software to various shows and cartoons - all the themes a 2000s kid would like. But last time I dived into their world were some notably bad times, and I noticed how freaking sensitive the community was, it's almost as if nearly every single criticism made towards them would spiral down into useless drama. So yeah, if anyone wants to make cringy content, go ahead, just be careful! ❤
Aight… here’s a little story: I’m a 2010 baby, so, either a very Late Gen Z or a Gen Z/Alpha cusper, but OH MY GOD i used to be super obsessed with GoAnimate videos (especially grounded videos) back in like the Late 2010s, at some point, i was like, on my GoAnimate phase at that time. One specific memory of being a kid whose obsessed with watching GoAnimate videos i remember is watching Coby M’s Grounded Song while on the way to school. When this video was shown on my recommendation, it instantly reminded me of THAT GoAnimate song, i rewatched it and listened to it again just now and MY GOD LMAO it’s just so cheesy and hella cringy, it’s cringeworthy at its finest, but super nostalgic at the same time, genuinely, i miss those simpler times.
Omg the memories. As a former Goanimator(ish), I remember when it was around 2016 or 2017, I used to watch a few Goanimate videos and thought of doing some myself. And then at around 2018, I somewhat started to make some, but not actual grounded videos, just some short ones. I thought of making a small project/series but then I got too demotivated to even continue it. I don’t even trust people that are in the community as much anymore because of it being so toxic and the issues that the people are causing there. As an almost 20 year old and mature, I got into Animal Crossing, song covers, and making just random stuff. Never regret leaving/not interacting with people that are in the Goanimate community.
I remember watching these 5 years ago. Now I don't anymore because I found out there was a video that showed that GoAnimate plagiarized from Family Guy.
I know this shit was bad but it genuinely is so nalstogic and brings me to a much, much more innocent time. The low quality music you used at the end made my heart swell so much. Sure, it was super shitty and bad, but GoAnimate had this weird charm to it as well. It was comedic in so many ways and I did get a taste of the good channels.
@@Inescapeium I feel like that's unfair to a lot of object shows, given that BFDI is actually animated and written and entertaining like, an actual show. It's like they wanted to make their own but had zero skills and zero budget.
I remember something stupid, I thought, as a kid. I used to watch a lot of go animate videos back in the day including the punishment videos. I used to think that punishments were like the punishments in goanimate. One time, as a kid, me and my brother and I were misbehaving at daycare, and while my mom was driving us home, she said that she will give us a punishment. And me and my brother and I were freaking out and crying too because we thought were going to do something like eating shit, piss, getting assaulted, and even turn into a fucking lightbulb.
You know these types of videos rotted my brain when I think “hehe grounded video guy” after a vyond character is featured in an engineering video at my school 😭🙏
Hung didn’t want to have GA end up like this but the grounded video makers caused him to do it. I feel bad for him. Also, I sometimes wonder how we ended up getting hooked to it…
A ranting essay like this is "9,999,999,999 times better" than even the best GoAnimate-style rant/salute video (which I took a quote from). These kinds of videos are just formulaic piles of mediocrely aged 2D animation that I used to watch from the mid-2010s to around the early 2020s, and I'm glad to move away from them.
@@Inescapeium Never got goanimate at all, but I saw one that was either by a troll or an underage person, and the creator of the video claimed that Stan from South Park stole his name from American Dad lol
My brother still watches those and he's always doing the stupid ahh Dances from vyond and plotagon And he's always Literally watching that stuff almost everyday and it's kind of annoying💀
@@Nagito_is_in_ur_house my brother was addicted to these videos. He would watch these like 24/7 and I'm certain I have the transcript for some of these videos.
Man...as an older gen z(26 currently) I remember as clear as day when this flooded youtube in the same manner of gacha life(I played it when it was gacha studio). Considering how gmod videos were I wasn't surprised when it did except unlike the former it was easier to handle. There was a specific goanimate youtuber who I used to watch before drama got to her was RandomLozzie who would go out of her way to try to make actual stories with goanimate especially with Undertale characters that weren't grounding videos(she still does a few every now and then nowadays). I'll admit she did get a chuckle out of me, especially with Undertale Tornado or flowey wants chocolate pudding. But honestly, everytime I see my generation shifting on gen alpha I think back to the fact were the same people that did fortnite dances or mlg shit back in the 2010s. Don't think I didn't forget about youtube poops or gmod videos, some are good but let's be honest most are just nonsense.
Your video gets most the points right. I think the GoAnimate community is an absolute s***show now. I do think Gen Z can do some good though, as they are now on the cusp of graduating high school, even college. Thank you so much for this video, it was something we in the community needed.
6:20 every os video literally goes the same way, os is force installed (somehow) onto their pc, they get angry at the cartoon character then are forced into trying all the apps or games, constantly getting trolled by the os or finding out they are restricted in some way then finding some hidden button that magically restores the computer back to normal as if thats how operating systems work
I hate the community but feel bad for Hung. He just wanted to create smth for his wife and pay his bills not have his site go to shit. I don’t think he expected GA to be like this. And for those who shit on Hung? Y’all are pathetic. He doesn’t deserve this treatment and yall should be nicer to him.
When I was seven (2017), I used to watch Caliou Gets Grounded on the family TV so much to the point that my parents had to take UA-cam off of there because I wouldn't stop watching it. Those were some pretty fun days 💀
Fun fact, there’s a whole entire community behind this and it’s as confusing as the videos not to mention, it also has drama (yes I’m serious there’s drama in the ga community)
I have been watching goanimate for a really long time and I have to say I totally agree. Here are the reasons why I totally agree with you: 1. It's literally impossible to ground your child for 1 million years because the average lifespan is 73 years so the only way if that was possible if they were lived forever which is impossible. 2. Grounded videos are one of the most boring and copyed videos on UA-cam. I would have more fun playing Desert Bus (which is game where you drive a bus though the desert for 8 hours straight) then to watch a grounded videos. 3. The people who make punishment day videos need some actually help because it is shocking how fucked up some of the videos are. 4. Barney Error videos are ludicrous like some of the videos I have seen are like the bomb will blow up in 100 weeks. How can anyone not sleep for that amount time and how can your computer stay on for that amount of time?
Many of these principles on the Vyond videos are just unethical. One of the worst ones is that on punishment day videos, they literally use human rights violations, such as rape, molestation, even FGM is used too.
I knew about GoAnimate! thanks to my sister when she would borrow my phone to watch humor videos made on the website by a Mexican Comedy UA-camr, then I knew about the grounding videos thanks to a GoAnimator known as Bluey (not the cartoon), with the videos titled: "Rosie destroys Caillou's Xbox One X/Grounded" "Rosie throws a temper tantrum at the mall/Grounded". I think the channel got deleted a few years ago
when i was WAY younger, i found a video called "Calliou eats s*** and gets arrested", which follows him not eating toast, saying he'd rather eat poop, then he goes takes a crap, and eats it. Then, his dad says that's not what he wanted, shoves Calliou in the toilet, s**ts on him, and flushes him.
This was only for me in 6th grade, after that, it got old for me, I was able to survive "brainrot" in middle school where I was also exposed to roasting and MLG videos in 7th grade and that didn't make my academics slip
i love watching these during like 2016-2018, i got in trouble because of the amount of profanity in it, i tried making my own but i could not find it, but i do make some now
I was obsessed with this shit back in the day, I even convinced my mom to get me a GoAnimate free trial, and was one of those people who got pissed at the CEO for removing some of the themes.
This was very well and professionally made, I've known about GoAnimate since 2014, good thing its not some shit video made with Text To Speech Voices with very little editing. I remember when I used to be a huge GoAnimate fanboy that would defend famous GoAnimators and I would get alot of hate for it. Being in the GoAnimate community traumatized me because of all the drama and fucked up people i've met in that community, sometimes I wish I never discovered that shit. I'm glad I grew out of it and have a job and I will be doing UA-cam as a side hustle.
This is why I will never ever join the toxic GoAnimate community, not even when I first opened my UA-cam channel, and even though I do make GoAnimate videos.

Pretty crazy one person created that idea and people thought, “huh, that’s a great idea to use for a character I really hate” and it becoming a trend.
GoAnimate grounded videos were the pinnacle of my childhood. I used to binge so much Caillou gets grounded back in 2014-2015.
Same, I first discovered those videos back in 2018, holy shit, what a time.
Same here
Despite all of this weird stuff, I remember one GoAnimate video that was quite good and is probably lost media and I can't find it. The video begins in Caillou's room, as he wakes up and his family and Dora's family go for a vacation. However things don't go too well and they crash on an island. They manage to find eachother and Doris (Caillou's mom) goes to find something, but nearly dies, and there was a flashback sequence of her entire life with years marked on the top: her birth, marriage and Caillou's and Rosie's birth. At the end they got rescued by someone and this is all that I can remember.
I remember Caillou saying "Am I in heaven?" when he woke up on the island. Let me know, if someone also remembers it, or knows where to find it.
don’t even get me started on the barney errors, I used to watch them all the way back in 2017
back then i was scared of them lol
Hi
I remember getting in trouble for watching GoAnimate stuff when I was like 5 or 6, my mom would call this stuff "Naughty Caillou". Now at 14 I make Goanimate stuff and seeing how this Goanimate stuff has never changed is wacky
Same here lol I’m 13
I remember my mom walking in on watching Caillou Go!Animate and saying “I don’t want you watching this animate” or something like that when I was 6 because of the loud shit and cussing.
@@TheAdventuresOfJimiJaden We have the same misunderstandings from our childhood!!! NO WAY!!
@ holy crap!
I was NOT expecting "Caillou starts 911 and gets grounded."
This is why Alvin wanted to get rid of Comedy World after Flash died out...
The first GoAnimate video I ever watched was one where a guy got grounded for stealing a DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. UA-cam recommended me that because back then (and still now) I was a huge Alvin fan, and then after that I fell down the rabbit hole of Kayloo and Dora and Little Bill and all the other kids cartoon characters that got dragged into this.
@@Treeeee2008 Elsagate before Elsagate
The first one I ever saw was something about Caillou placing an alcohol bottle outside their front door before blaming it on his sister who ended up getting sent to jail.
Great video. I used to watch this stuff all the time, but one day I developed a brain stem. I will say I had no idea this was the origin of UTTP, but it definitely makes sense.
I also didn’t see this mentioned but was also this trend of “teeth guys”. It involved characters with red skin and comically large mouths that would say the most edgy offensive shit the creators’ developing minds can conjure.
Honestly if you didn’t want to put this in the video I’m not surprised given that it is a small sub genre of the community (and putting it in the video will get you demonetized instantly). Just goes to show you how deep the GoAnimate rabbit hole really is.
Oh my god I should've included the "teeth guy" trend which full of racist af shit
@@Inescapeium honestly as I mentioned, that would probably have been extremely risky to include lol

Back in 2019 I was a (now former) GoAnimate girl. However I've only used the platform to make original and efforted content (I have several unfinished movie & mini-movie projects but one movie I completely finished by the end of 2020 remains as one of my most nostalgic and popular projects to this day (which is still on my channel)) and therefore I debuted in the community in 2019 with the intention of making original content with carefully plotted storylines, taking inspiration from another original content creator in the community, Kaneedian (formerly Canadian Scout). Not once did I bother even trying to make a single grounded video or any unoriginal shit other creators have made, because even if I wanted to, I would have zero motivation to do so. Eventually I was losing motivation overall being in the community even though I was having fun making content I enjoyed making, because people in the community seriously screwed me up mentally. I went through a difficult depression era in 2020 and by 2021 I officially left the GoAnimate community to make my debut in the Toontown community (after my boyfriend introduced me to the game) and give more attention to my mental health. By 2022 I slowly overcame my depression and now I'm living a significantly better life. I'm now officially an adult with a more mature mindset. I'm happy with where I'm at now in terms of both my UA-cam career and my life and I will never relive my oldest era again. I'm not willing to interact with anyone in the GoAnimate community anymore, especially the ones who never matured or grew up.
As an experienced GoAnimator since 2016,
I remember watching one of the mid-2016 caillou gets grounded vids.
But yea, i started to realize that most of the Entire Goanimate community nowadays, It became a "hell Community" that users do nothing but causing more drama than ever before.
This doesn’t have anything to with GoAnimate, more so brain rot, but why the fuck are people genuinely afraid of opening EXE files on their computer? I know it has to do with Sonic.EXE and other god-awful .EXE creepypastas, but the amount of people that i’ve seen who genuinely believe something bad will happen if they open EXE files on their computer is crazy.
I guess creepypastas fucked their brains over haha
I'm a 2005 baby, so I am mid-Gen Z, I used to be obsessed with GoAnimate since I was 10 in 2015, used to watch grounded videos when I was 9 in 2014, I remember attempting to make a grounded video for the first time but yeah it never worked and ever since the comedy world was removed on July 26 2016, I completely stopped using GoAnimate and never made any videos on there ever again. If I don't remember, I also used to watch Barney errors since 2014 and completely stopped since 2022 and never watched again since then there was only few good GoAnimators back then but not anymore since they changed
I’m also a 2005 baby too! I used to watch them at the same age, and made some of my own, I used Requestly to get back the Comedy World stuff and made some characters, it was fun, I made like two porn videos bro
My autistic ass forgot GoAnimate existed in the first place, lookey felt like a fever dream 😭
Honestly, every generation has its own kind of brain rot.
That’s what I’m saying Exept one generstion can’t handle the next generation of brainrot
As a wise man once said,
"GoAnimate, make your fanimations"
I absolutely love how I just watched a Caillou Grounded video and it was 1 hour long, I watched it, and… the grounding part was why it was 1 hour long, Gigazillion numbers and grounded words.
But I am unable to find the link, It was most likely deleted due to hate.
finally, someone who genuinely understands what i used to watch
I was already starting college by the time these GoAnimate videos became popular. Thank god for me being an early enough Gen Z person to *NOT* have this part of my impressionable youth.
I just feel somewhat nostalgic for the goanimate videos as they somehow contributed to my childhood( for the wrong reasons) those videos taught me how to speak English and also taught me the English swear words but I feel very nostalgic
I’m starting to think this is a secret fetish because I see grounded compilations on UA-cam which is often lumped into the fight cloud compilations AKA something that REALLY IS a fetish.
The grounding fetish ( especially when paired with the punishment day videos ) is alot worse because once you watch enough of this slop, it starts to feel similar to hurtcore, especially in the more extreme cases.
How is that... never mind the internet is weird
I’ve ran into fight cloud compilations, tickling compilation, “shut up” compilations, etc.
@ Wait.
People think the word “shut up” is hot?!
@@meadowchanyukikosangacha2643 WHAT?!

you forgot about the end of life videos, the goanimate users treat the windows end of support as the end of the world with an windows shaped meteorite destroying a windows os building

honestly as a kid, i didnt like this series often, but it was popular and i dont know what to go with it, atleast the trend died after the go animate community died for a dark truth of it, but hey, i miss the old goanimates but i do not miss grounding videos, i just miss the cool animations they made with it
honestly, ya, thats everything
aww man, as a kid I was exposed to them. there are also goanimate videos where literal OPERATING SYSTEMS (like windows) get grounded.
Looks like there are no fucking rules on who gets grounded. Even literal parents get grounded by their own *kids* 💀💀💀💀💀
@@Inescapeium yep, just search “Boris Gets Grounded”
Zillennials and earlier generations learned about 9/11 through witnessing it live, or hearing about it shortly after.

You learned about it through a damn GoAnimate grounded video

As a gen alpha myself, my brother got me into goanimate, and blasted this shit everyday years ago, and I love it, even if it’s shit, but it’s funny, I will choose Goanimate over skibidi toilet any day.

Oh god, you just sent me on a “nostalgia” trip…
I remember watching these videos when I was younger, especially those punishment day videos. I remember this one punishment day video where it was an hour long torture fest to a 4 year old. I don’t know if the creator made this as a way to satirize how brutal and gross these videos can get, or if he actually believed that Caillou was a spawn of satan.
But yeah, these videos were wild.
Finally, a simple, self aware, comprehensive video on this topic. I genuinely thought I was all alone with this opinion! My young cousins were the ones who first showed goanimate to me and I have to say I was fascinated by how many topics and themes it covers - from funny little pieces of computer software to various shows and cartoons - all the themes a 2000s kid would like. But last time I dived into their world were some notably bad times, and I noticed how freaking sensitive the community was, it's almost as if nearly every single criticism made towards them would spiral down into useless drama. So yeah, if anyone wants to make cringy content, go ahead, just be careful! ❤
As a 2011 kid, I should be with gen Alpha but go animate made me go “holy shit i remember that”
@AstroDashing same as a 2013 kid i used to watch it a little when i was like 6
Aight… here’s a little story:
I’m a 2010 baby, so, either a very Late Gen Z or a Gen Z/Alpha cusper, but OH MY GOD i used to be super obsessed with GoAnimate videos (especially grounded videos) back in like the Late 2010s, at some point, i was like, on my GoAnimate phase at that time.
One specific memory of being a kid whose obsessed with watching GoAnimate videos i remember is watching Coby M’s Grounded Song while on the way to school.
When this video was shown on my recommendation, it instantly reminded me of THAT GoAnimate song, i rewatched it and listened to it again just now and MY GOD LMAO it’s just so cheesy and hella cringy, it’s cringeworthy at its finest, but super nostalgic at the same time, genuinely, i miss those simpler times.
I was born in 08 and I was obsessed with these as well lol
8:46 the part where the narrator says "know damn well" and Elena yelling into Dora's ear match perfectly

reall 💀
Omg the memories. As a former Goanimator(ish), I remember when it was around 2016 or 2017, I used to watch a few Goanimate videos and thought of doing some myself. And then at around 2018, I somewhat started to make some, but not actual grounded videos, just some short ones. I thought of making a small project/series but then I got too demotivated to even continue it. I don’t even trust people that are in the community as much anymore because of it being so toxic and the issues that the people are causing there. As an almost 20 year old and mature, I got into Animal Crossing, song covers, and making just random stuff. Never regret leaving/not interacting with people that are in the Goanimate community.
But you know what?
Those Caillou Goanimate videos are still FAR more enjoyable than the actual Caillou show itself.
anything is better than Caillou
I remember watching these 5 years ago. Now I don't anymore because I found out there was a video that showed that GoAnimate plagiarized from Family Guy.
I wouldn't say plagiarized. It's more like a homage or a parody of Family Guy.
And that’s exactly was they removed Comedy World
Its always GoAnimate that anything you do will get you grounded
That worst childhood nostalgia of GoAnimate
Dude you got me back to being addicted to calliou gets grounded, still funny though
Funny enough, there are a few punishment day videos where the child is not in the wrong and the abuser (parent) gets arrested
I know this shit was bad but it genuinely is so nalstogic and brings me to a much, much more innocent time. The low quality music you used at the end made my heart swell so much.
Sure, it was super shitty and bad, but GoAnimate had this weird charm to it as well. It was comedic in so many ways and I did get a taste of the good channels.
…have you even seen the character elimination community yet?
Yes but had not much to say about it as they're clones of BFDI
@@Inescapeium
I feel like that's unfair to a lot of object shows, given that BFDI is actually animated and written and entertaining like, an actual show. It's like they wanted to make their own but had zero skills and zero budget.
I KNOW YOU
Yes! I've Seen This Before! Expect They Ripped Off BFDI & II With Zero Original Characters & Efforts.
Yep
I remember something stupid, I thought, as a kid. I used to watch a lot of go animate videos back in the day including the punishment videos. I used to think that punishments were like the punishments in goanimate.
One time, as a kid, me and my brother and I were misbehaving at daycare, and while my mom was driving us home, she said that she will give us a punishment. And me and my brother and I were freaking out and crying too because we thought were going to do something like eating shit, piss, getting assaulted, and even turn into a fucking lightbulb.
YOUR DAMN TITLE EXPLAINED SO DAMN WELL WHAT I FELT WATCHING THAT CONTENT AS A KID !!! 😭🙏
I don’t care what anyone says
I still watch GoAnimate as a guilty pleasure of mine
These things were guilty pleasures. They were so stupid, yet I couldn't stop watching. Still turn them on from time to time when bored.
You know these types of videos rotted my brain when I think “hehe grounded video guy” after a vyond character is featured in an engineering video at my school 😭🙏
9:23 goanimate logic is to excuse continuity errors and stuff, aswell as a cheap cop out when the plot backs itself into a corner.
I started watching goanimate during covid and boy the amount of times rosie has been grounded 💀
Hung didn’t want to have GA end up like this but the grounded video makers caused him to do it. I feel bad for him. Also, I sometimes wonder how we ended up getting hooked to it…
A ranting essay like this is "9,999,999,999 times better" than even the best GoAnimate-style rant/salute video (which I took a quote from). These kinds of videos are just formulaic piles of mediocrely aged 2D animation that I used to watch from the mid-2010s to around the early 2020s, and I'm glad to move away from them.
I mean the so-called "GoAnimate-styled rants" aren't even rants lmao they're just shitty diss videos on TV shows they hate

the first person to make the first grounded video probably feels like Oppenheimer.
Man...as an older gen z(26 currently) I remember as clear as day when this flooded youtube in the same manner of gacha life(I played it when it was gacha studio). Considering how gmod videos were I wasn't surprised when it did except unlike the former it was easier to handle. There was a specific goanimate youtuber who I used to watch before drama got to her was RandomLozzie who would go out of her way to try to make actual stories with goanimate especially with Undertale characters that weren't grounding videos(she still does a few every now and then nowadays). I'll admit she did get a chuckle out of me, especially with Undertale Tornado or flowey wants chocolate pudding. But honestly, everytime I see my generation shifting on gen alpha I think back to the fact were the same people that did fortnite dances or mlg shit back in the 2010s. Don't think I didn't forget about youtube poops or gmod videos, some are good but let's be honest most are just nonsense.
Your video gets most the points right. I think the GoAnimate community is an absolute s***show now.
I do think Gen Z can do some good though, as they are now on the cusp of graduating high school, even college.
Thank you so much for this video, it was something we in the community needed.
@@highfiveanimations Anytime brother
6:20 every os video literally goes the same way, os is force installed (somehow) onto their pc, they get angry at the cartoon character then are forced into trying all the apps or games, constantly getting trolled by the os or finding out they are restricted in some way then finding some hidden button that magically restores the computer back to normal as if thats how operating systems work
Ahh, the times when I get in trouble for watching these when I was 8 years old, still think it was and wasn’t worth it at the same time lol
@@sparkyismyname Brooooooo same haha

I hate the community but feel bad for Hung. He just wanted to create smth for his wife and pay his bills not have his site go to shit. I don’t think he expected GA to be like this. And for those who shit on Hung? Y’all are pathetic. He doesn’t deserve this treatment and yall should be nicer to him.
The ones who sh*t on Hung are mostly little edgy kids who think Goanimate is their identity
@ Why am I not surprised?
When I was seven (2017), I used to watch Caliou Gets Grounded on the family TV so much to the point that my parents had to take UA-cam off of there because I wouldn't stop watching it.
Those were some pretty fun days 💀
Fun fact, there’s a whole entire community behind this and it’s as confusing as the videos not to mention, it also has drama (yes I’m serious there’s drama in the ga community)
I have been watching goanimate for a really long time and I have to say I totally agree. Here are the reasons why I totally agree with you:
1. It's literally impossible to ground your child for 1 million years because the average lifespan is 73 years so the only way if that was possible if they were lived forever which is impossible.
2. Grounded videos are one of the most boring and copyed videos on UA-cam. I would have more fun playing Desert Bus (which is game where you drive a bus though the desert for 8 hours straight) then to watch a grounded videos.
3. The people who make punishment day videos need some actually help because it is shocking how fucked up some of the videos are.
4. Barney Error videos are ludicrous like some of the videos I have seen are like the bomb will blow up in 100 weeks. How can anyone not sleep for that amount time and how can your computer stay on for that amount of time?
Many of these principles on the Vyond videos are just unethical. One of the worst ones is that on punishment day videos, they literally use human rights violations, such as rape, molestation, even FGM is used too.
I'm honestly glad I grew up with this in my early years rather than Skibidi Toilet and Elsagate of Indie Horror.
I knew about GoAnimate! thanks to my sister when she would borrow my phone to watch humor videos made on the website by a Mexican Comedy UA-camr, then I knew about the grounding videos thanks to a GoAnimator known as Bluey (not the cartoon), with the videos titled: "Rosie destroys Caillou's Xbox One X/Grounded" "Rosie throws a temper tantrum at the mall/Grounded". I think the channel got deleted a few years ago
when i was WAY younger, i found a video called "Calliou eats s*** and gets arrested", which follows him not eating toast, saying he'd rather eat poop, then he goes takes a crap, and eats it. Then, his dad says that's not what he wanted, shoves Calliou in the toilet, s**ts on him, and flushes him.
Ah yes, I remember watching those back then and man, it's such insanity ngl.
A guy ranting and yapping for 14 minutes about old brainrot?, yeah im gonna spend 14 mins of my life in this!
This was only for me in 6th grade, after that, it got old for me, I was able to survive "brainrot" in middle school where I was also exposed to roasting and MLG videos in 7th grade and that didn't make my academics slip
I used GoAnimate Since March 2011, but GoAnimate changed to Vyond in 2018
I remember that in one video Kayloo got rapped by a bunch of fine African American Gentlemen on a basketball court
i love watching these during like 2016-2018, i got in trouble because of the amount of profanity in it, i tried making my own but i could not find it, but i do make some now
gro****ed has traumatized me so much to where I just call it the G word
I was obsessed with this shit back in the day, I even convinced my mom to get me a GoAnimate free trial, and was one of those people who got pissed at the CEO for removing some of the themes.
OMG I REMEBER THESE AND ALSO THE ONE GUY WHO DID THE LIVE ACTION BARNEY ERROR
This was very well and professionally made, I've known about GoAnimate since 2014, good thing its not some shit video made with Text To Speech Voices with very little editing. I remember when I used to be a huge GoAnimate fanboy that would defend famous GoAnimators and I would get alot of hate for it. Being in the GoAnimate community traumatized me because of all the drama and fucked up people i've met in that community, sometimes I wish I never discovered that shit. I'm glad I grew out of it and have a job and I will be doing UA-cam as a side hustle.
This is why I will never ever join the toxic GoAnimate community, not even when I first opened my UA-cam channel, and even though I do make GoAnimate videos.
I watched this when i was 4 and the “999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999” years was so rememberable
Ahh the classic brainrot times of Caillou GoAnimate, Filthy Frank, and Ugandan Knuckles
