      Saberspark I feel like you exadurated Lars and Sadie. Lars ditched Sadie for the cool kids in a total of one episode, which resulted in his throat being caught on fire. After that, he's a bit of a snark and a complete coward, but not necessarily a bad person (moreso confused, and pretty much the spitting character of a teenager). Not to mention his recent redemption / potential redemption.

      @@razkable There's a huge difference between enjoying a toxic fictional couple because it's interesting and gives layers to the characters (which is what you're doing and why the relationship is there in the first place) and going "omg I want a relationship like that" or "lol this is so me and my bf, we're so #crazy". The sad thing is there are a lot of people who view it that way and Suicide Squad (and a lot of media outside of the official works) annoyingly went the route that caters to that audience, which is a shame because there's a lot you can explore with the relationship that's already there.

      I don't really see them showing having a good marriage but it's just boring. Hugh is a stay home father who cleans up the house, cooks nothing but meatloaf and yells at his own son. Lila is business woman who works a lot. I mean in Dexter's Laboratory Dexter's parents shows having good strong marriage. Johnny's parents not really. But all I see that they get a divorce when Johnny goes to high school. Plus we have no idea why they marry each other ?

      which is probably the best for them. Like, other than working at the Big Donut, there really isnt anything they have in common, they dont share any hobbies, there is just not romance between them as much as sadie and lars somewhat convinced themselves there was, specially from the episode where they are stranded in an island and they kiss each other, just try to analyze their situation, they are in an island with no way to reconnect with the world, so their only option to have someone is each other, if you look at it that waym it kinda makes sense they had a moment in the island, but as soon as they are back in beach city, all that is gone.
      I love how Sadie and Lars grew as the show went on, but honestly, I think they are better off as good friends than as a couple, and thats perfectly fine.

    I'd also like to point out that Harley vanished for a while from Joker's life and he didn't seem to care either way, she was gone for a year and he didn't even seem to notice. Why did she vanish? She. Was. Pregnant. She hid their daughter from him for a reason. She left for the entire duration of her pregnancy because "his work is too important". Harleen Quinzel gave up being a psychologist to join up with him, only to go through extreme abuse, a hidden pregnancy, and more.

    There is a theory about Dale actually knowing about Nancy's affair with John Redcorn and Joesph not being his son:
    He doesn't divorce Nancy not just because she's hot and more financially stable than him, but because he's seen what divorce can do to a person, especially a childhood friend. Bill became a MESS after his divorce and would do anything for emotional connections. Dale is afraid of that happening to him so he puts up with Nancy's infidelity. But he does have the ultimate revenge in his eyes: raising Joesph as his son. Joesph looks up to Dale and not John, and Dale teaches him everything in life that he knows. He is always there for the boy for everything. John Redcorn agonizes over this but it's karma for him sleeping with another man's wife. So if this theory is true, then I understand Dale a little more now.

      An interesting theory. Dale is however an extreme Conspiracy nut, he has an incredible aversion to facts and reality (which is why he has such a breakdown when he realizes the government's official story regarding JFK's assassination is true and has a personality flip), refusing to accept the fact he's the guy with a green hat (A Chinese euphemism for someone who's being cheated on) isn't unsurprising. However being in denial and knowing that they're cheating but refusing to admit it to himself at a conscious level is in keeping with his personality.

    I'm so glad you mentioned the Joker/Harley relationship. While I love the cartoon and find their dysfunctional relationship to be interesting, it absolutely sickens me how people romanticize it. The Joker is a heartless bastard. Love him or hate him, he only cares about himself. He has no soft spots, no desire to do good,
    he doesn't mean well, etc. His whole character is about how much joy he takes from hurting and killing others. He's not going to make an exception for Harley. He doesn't see her as his equal and goes out of his way to tear her down whenever she has a moment where she feels happy for herself or anything else.
    You don't want a Joker/Harley relationship. You shouldn't want to abuse your partner. You shouldn't want to not see them as your equal. You shouldn't want to tear them down when they're feeling good. You shouldn't want someone to belittle you. You shouldn't want someone to manipulate you. You shouldn't want someone who treats you like Joker treats Harley, and you shouldn't want to act like a Joker to your s.o.

    The whole "Goku never kissed his wife!" thing is a HUGE mistranslation error. Basically, Goku being the doof that he is thought Vegeta was talking about something else. Remember that Japanese is a high context language. If you are naive or dumb enough (like Goku), you can misunderstand a LOT of things...and that was the joke of the scene. The issue is that the joke didn't translate to English (a low context language).

After all the Saiyans came, he is a lot more neglectful of his wife since its always about protecting the Earth or fighting strong but he doesn't necessarily run away.

    Harley Quinn actually has stockholm snydrom.
    Its a phenonem, mostly linked to a post-traumatic-disorder, that often appears in abusiv relationships or hostage takings. The victim oftne believe that this is what it deserves, often even sympathizes with the aggresor or romatizes them.
    I actually had someone as my best friends with diagnosted stockholm snydrom, his girlfriend was highly abusiv and cheated on him in regular bases. As he finally realized how bad this relationship was, he even attempted suicide. His stockholm syndrom was caused by his childhood, his mum married to a highly absusiv man himself, a really violent alcoholic who even killed his mother.
    Pretty sad story... I get really angry when I see post like ''I want a relationship like Joker and Harley.'' Like... No... No, you dont.

    • @KindredKeepsake
      @KindredKeepsake 6 років тому +44

      Hello there. I'm sorry for what happened to your friend, but something needs clarifying here. Harley and the Joker have a horrible, HORRIBLY toxic relationship--but it's not Stockholm syndrome. Your friend didn't have that either, unless he was literally held prisoner, trafficked, or abducted by that ex-girlfriend.
      Stockholm syndrome is when a prisoner falls in love with their captor. The Joker was previously held at Arkham, which puts him in the "prisoner" role--but Harley was his psychiatrist. She was not a jailer, nor did he love her as much as she did. However she was still manipulated into breaking him out. When the captor falls in love with their captive, that is Lima Syndrome. This does not apply to them, either--because again, Harley was doing her job as a psychiatrist beforehand. It's closer, though.
      What they all went through is just a byproduct of abuse. That ex was horrible, but neither syndrome can apply without (un)lawful incarceration, a hostage situation, or a kidnapping. Stockholm syndrome can be abusive in relationships, but not all abusive relationships involve Stockholm syndrome. Again, I'm sorry.

    The whole Pataki family was so screwed up in Hey Arnold.

The show also implied on at least one occasion that Helga thought her parents would be happier if she wasn't around. There was one episode where she dreamed she had been erased from existence, and her parents were suddenly all lovey-dovey and giddy with each other. It was really depressing, actually. (Also, damn, that show had some good writing.)
    I feel like Oskar and Suzie Kokoshka from Hey Arnold should get a shout-out too. Remember how Oskar was a lazy bum who couldn't hold down a job and expected Suzie to do everything for him, and then whined when she didn't have time to pay attention to him? And how Suzie was constantly stressed and worn out all the time? Yeah, they were a mess. I remember one episode where Suzie finally kicked Oskar out, and Arnold tried to get them back together, and all I could think was, "Hmm, Arnold, sweetie, I know you want the world to be all sunshine and butterflies, but maybe you should stay out of this one."

      Also, ugh, Family Guy. I have to say, that clip at the beginning of Lois beating the crap out of Peter is just really not funny. I know Peter's an asshole and probably deserves it, but still. I'm so sick of these shows that think that just because it's a woman beating a man, that makes it funny - or at the very least, acceptable. Because women are supposed to be the weak ones, right? And a guy who gets beat up by a woman must be a pussy? Hahaha*NO.*

    the joker and harley is supposed to be a showcase for bad relationships, that's on of the reasons why the latest movie glorifying their sick and abusive relationship was so bad. It's not supposed to be something that people desire. Also you should've talked more about how good of a narrative point it was for Beth and Jerry to be separated, for being the number 2 on your list it was weird how such a logical decision wouldn't get more praise from a reviewer like you.

      As a masochist, I don't find their relationship sexually appealing. While some individuals do derive sexual pleasure from pain, that does not mean that all pain or a constant abusive lifestyle is what most masochists want. In a healthy BDSM relationship, though the sadist or dominant seems to be in control, the masochist or submissive has the power to say no. In abusive relationships one partner has all the power.

  • @MirthMouser
    @MirthMouser 7 років тому +301

    I think a more accurate title would be "Top 10 Most UNHEALTHY Cartoon Couples."
    The word 'worst' might give the wrong idea.
    Some of these couples were purposefully written as unhealthy relationships to show what a bad couple looks like in order to make the show as a whole stronger.
    Many relationships are hard and hurtful, and certain shows want to make that clear. The idea of showcasing a bad couple isn't a terrible idea in general, as depending on the couple it can make the show more effective.
    But saying "worst" implies that the couple brings the whole show down.
    (To be fair though, a couple of your choices do fall in that category.)
    Your reasons of why you picked these couples are spot on though, I'm just giving advice title-wise.

    • @strawberrysoulforever8336
      @strawberrysoulforever8336 7 років тому +15

      I agree. I mean, the Patakis were written as being unhealthily dysfunctional. It builds a pretty good idea of how this family came to exist. A very successful Miriam dropped out of college to marry Bob, and had Olga when she was very young. As time went on, Bob lost interest in Miriam and was more interested in building up his beeper emporium. His only other interest was Olga, who had inherited Miriam's good looks and was on her way to being incredibly successful. Then, when Olga was eleven or twelve, Miriam fell pregnant again. Bob wanted her to have an abortion, but Miriam refused. By the time Olga was twelve, Helga was born, but since her family was preoccupied with her older sister, she was very overshadowed. As such, the all-important family bonds a child needs were not there, and so Helga ended up forming a different attachment: an attachment to the first person who acted like she mattered. Technically, her obsessive behaviour and aggression come from her family, but not only that - if they'd been a supportive network like a family is supposed to, she never would have fallen so hard for Arnold.

    Your point on how people weirdly want a relationship like Joker and Harley is so good and I’ve been confused on it myself. Someone I know who actively calls her boyfriend “her joker” told me it’s because of how much they rely on eachother and I had to go into an explanation how Joker basically just drove her insane to have a psychotic obsession with the Joker. He just uses her. The fact that she feels so strongly that she needs the Joker despite the negative consequences makes it seem like he’s literally an addiction. And I don’t care how much she needs him, if you want a relationship exactly like one where the guy threw the girl out of a two story window, there’s something wrong

    I wouldn't necessarily call it a Lars redemption ark.
    There's a bit of a difference between a character changing their ways and a character developing and opening up as to why.
    Lars is a jerk but he's also very insecure and has fears for being looked at as something or someone else in a certain way.
    Later he develops and opens up the fact that he was afraid of what was going on, only wanting to not be a coward because he knew he was.
    I personally believe Lars was just a bit misunderstood in a way but his actions and intentions were different because of what lead him to do so.
    Overall, he was a jerk but he's also grown character and courage.(My apologies if it just sounded stupid but I had trouble trying to explain what I meant as it's just my own personal opinion.)

You didn't really... you didn't see stuff that blantantly toxic very often. And as I'm older, I now think that this episode is kind of beautiful for that. They showed how truly horrible the two were together, and didn't let up on it at all. It's amazing.

      As much as I want to say, "this is best for the both of them" its not right to ask for a divorce when so much else happened in the show. Lets not forget:
      - They saw a life where they weren't married and found a reason that they truly loved each other in the end.
      - Their relationship is actually healthy for their kids, its actually Rick that messes around with the kids and causes a good 50% of the messes that rise up. In an episode in season three (spoilers!!) Beth isn't as good at handling the kids as Jerry is.
      In the case of Jerry and Beth, the creators want to show a more dysfunctional couple that replicates a real world couple with thoughts and beliefs that might not always see eye to eye. Also, I'm just waiting to see if they get back together. Beth isn't doing well. Jerry isn't doing well. Its a possibility.

    Sadie, just has a huge crush on Lars, but Lars is a bit of a tsundere, and he just wants to look cool for the cool kids, who don't care if he is cool, they just accept him into their friend group anyways, but Lars doesn't see that. Lars obviously is scared, scared that Sadie won't like him, scared that the cool kids won't accept him, so he thinks that if he acts one way, he will be accepted.

    I agree with Chi chi and Goku...but I see it COMPLETELY the opposite.
    Goku is an alien that was dropped on his head as a child, and was "raised" in the woods mostly by himself. He didnt even know what a girl was until Bulma showed up. Goku was never properly socialized and still lacks knowledge of a lot of things normal humans know almost instinctively.
    Chi Chi was only into Goku because he was strong, and if I'm remembering correctly, tricked Goku into marriage (I think he thought it was a food?) OF COURSE he doesn't know what a kiss is! I'm mostly convinced he has NO idea how his children even came to be, and Chi Chi tricked him by telling him they were wrestling or something...Goku is like a child in a man's body and its played for comedy most of the time, but if you spend too much time thinking about it the implications are preeetty fuuuuucked.

    • @bsinita_wokeone
      @bsinita_wokeone 7 років тому +7

      finalhikari what are you talking about Goku was raised by his adopted human grandfather. In the earlier episodes of Dragon Ball Goku ship landing on Earth and when he got out of it he was a raving lunatic baby yes a baby and he hit his head and calmed down. When he was knocked out he woke up in an old man's house who later adopted him as his grandson so he did grow up civilize. And Goku who obviously met and seen some women in the village some other kids he knew what a woman was he just didn't know what they had sex binary wise. Cuz his grandfather never had the sex talk with him that's why when Vegeta ask him how you don't know what a kiss is?(dragon ball super)Goku couldn't give a clear answer because nobody had that special talk with him.

    • @Applesodax
      @Applesodax 7 років тому +15

      I'm aware of Grandpa Gohan's existence. I said he was /mostly/ raised in the woods by himself for a reason. After he accidentally killed Grandpa Gohan, Goku was left alone for some undetermined amount of time. Also, I'm pretty sure they did NOT live in a village. Almost positive. They lived in a shack out in the woods, by itself. And I'm also pretty sure Goku even says at one point that he had NEVER heard of a girl until he met Bulma Its been awhile since Ive watched/read Dragon Ball, but I remember Goku thinking "Girl" was a food was a joke or something. The only thing Grandpa Gohan taught Goku was martial arts and how to be a good guy.

    • @Applesodax
      @Applesodax 7 років тому +5

      Also, he didn't randomly wake up at Grandpa Gohan's house, Gohan found him while he was a crazy asshole baby, and he was the one who accidentally dropped him into the ravine and made Goku simple/less murderous
