  • TV is sometimes dark, this is nothing new, but in this iceberg explained I'm doing a deep dive into the art of dark television episodes. However, with a twist. Instead of focusing on TV that is consistently dark, this iceberg focuses on Dark TV episodes from television shows that usually aren't dark. I, FoxAkimbo am going to do a deep dive down this iceberg and uncover episodes of TV that are unusually dark. Without further ado, this is the unusually dark TV episodes Iceberg explained...

    A bit you missed with the Futurama 'Jurassic Bark' episode:
    The destruction of the cloning-machine wasn't why they didn't revive Seymour (the dog). It was actually Fry's decision. They find out Seymour lived until he was 15, while Fry only knew him till the age of 3. Fry decides he doesn't want to bring Seymour back, as 'He would've forgotten him long ago'.
    Cue the ending scene of Seymour waiting his whole life for Fry to come back, eventually dying, still waiting.

    You should’ve included that one Bob’s Burgers episode where Bob starts to lose his mustache so him and his family reimagine him if he never had his mustache, so he would’ve never met his wife, had his kids, etc. and eventually the episode spirals into them imagining if basically the mean health inspector, Hugo, married Linda, had kids, and started a restaurant of his own, ‘Hugo’s Hot Dogs’. This may seem funny, but it’s pretty disturbing, mostly because when I was younger it traumatized me.

    "Batman's parents die in almost every incarnation"
    ....Almost..... apart from that one alternate universe where Bruce dies, his father becomes Batman and his mother becomes Joker.
    Also, on the subject of the racism/abuse tier, I'd like to mention Teen Titans' Season 4/Episode #6 "Troq" where this dude Val-Yor comes down to Earth and is generally nice to all the Titans except Starfire because of his hatred towards her home people of Tamaran, calling both them and Starfire a "Troq", which means "nothing". In the end, Val-Yor leaves Earth still hating Starfire (despite her saving his life) and the rest of the Titans, calling them "Troq" as well. I also find it kinda fascinating that Starfire confided with Cyborg about Val-Yor's racist thoughts since Cyborg himself had to deal with that type of predujice himself.
    Other shows/episodes I think that should have gotten a mention are:
    - The one Sesame Street episode where Big Bird tries to look for Mr. Hooper but Mr. Hooper passes away and the episode shows Big Bird trying to understand and cope with the passing of a loved one.
    - The Fresh Prince episode where Will takes a bullet for Carlton. Carlton gets a gun to protect himself but Will persuades him to not go the route of violence. In the end, Carlton gives the gun to Will before leaving. Will then starts crying after he unloads the gun on his hospital bed.
    - The Fresh Prince episode about drug abuse where Will accidentally gets Carlton on some pills, causing him to go crazy at a party. The pills were meant for Will since he was struggling at school. In the end, after Carlton is released from the hospital, Will apologises to him and the rest of the family.
    - Of course, the darkest Courage episode "Masks" where this masked lady hates dogs, so she takes her hatred out on Courage. Courage then finds out about her girlfriend, who is being abused (and possibly prostituted?) by this buff demon dog-looking thing. Courage manages to rescue her and reunite them both on a train with the masked lady reaffirming herself that "not all dogs are evil" and thanking Courage.

Then Squidward stays in his house for 2 weeks, acting like some real people with depression. There are two...

    It was about this green haired girl who regretted saying that she hated her mother when she was young and soon after her mother died from some illness and she felt bad that her last talk with her mother was so negative and she eventually meets somesort of ghost/illusion of her mother within the fog and she just cries in her mother's arms and while apologising to her and they eventually part ways and she finds a shaymin. Like as someone who lost his grampa in hospital while leaving the room during his last moments since i could not handle watch him dying i honestly related to that episode and i still regret that my grandpa had to witness his own grandson walking out on him on his last moments and i honestly just wished i could have atleast said thanks for being absolutely great grandpa and thanks for being there when my parents did not have the time.

The episode isn't scary but I remember I had a dream where I was watching that episode and it took a dark turn. The holistic medicine makes George hallucinate that the world is ending and he continually vomits and he lays shaking in the dark as you can see a hallucination of the apocalypse outside the apartment window. That's where the dream ended, that was probably the weirdest dream I had.

    The Simpsons was a huge stepping stone in animation in the early 90's.

Even when my mom moved on to a different job, she remained good friends with her old boss. Unfortunately, while my mom was still working there, her boss had been diagnosed with cancer. She beat it once, but when it came back a couple years later, she wasn't as strong. We lost her to cancer about this time last year. I may not have known her as well as my mom did, but she was a wonderful woman, and she did a lot to help my mom. Seeing my mom having to pull over and break down crying when she passed by the school ahe use to work at was heartbreaking. May her friend rest in peace.

It's a very gross and abrasive show so I get why lots of people hate but i think it's the coolest. Fun fact: The town in the show, Scaunchboro, is based on the Canadian city of Scarborough, Ontario which is not far from me. To be honest it's a pretty "scaunchy" town lmao.

  • @ArekusaSan

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but a lot of older cartoons like Tom and Jerry and Loony Tunes weren’t actually created for child audiences. Back when these cartoons were shown, they premiered before films, which is why they have pretty short run times to begin with. This was in the 30s-50s before the rating board came around, so nothing was really aimed towards children. This is why a lot of these shorts contained pretty dark and mature themes, because it was adults telling stories for a largely adult audience.
    The switch started to happen with the popularity of the home television in the late 50s. Animation had to exist on a shoestring budget and restrictive time frame in order to work with syndication. Companies like Hannah-Barbara were worried adults would not be interested in the noticeable downgrade, and instead opted to start marketing to children who were considered to not care about the quality as much. This unfortunately set a bad trend that “animation is for kids”, which many animators and fans have been trying to undo for decades. It’s no surprise that when Cartoon Network was formed to broadcast these older cartoons made for adults in theaters, many kids got exposed to them. I grew up watching some of these darker cartoons, and I never really comprehended how mature they were until I got older and understood their meanings. It’s very interesting to look back on the media you consumed and go “I don’t think I was supposed to watch this”.

      I understand that they have to walk a very tight line with police issues in a post-George Floyd world, but even having said that the show is betraying everything that used to make it good seasons ago. They shone a light on racism within the police plenty of times, it's intrinsic to Holt's character! Even taking all that out, the characters are making choices that I find out of nowhere, and the stories are just not as exciting. The show seems like it really wants to end, and it's such a shame.

    To make matters worse, "Gone" ends with all the Bikini Bottom residents returning by bus, and even PATRICK is with them! Turns out even Patrick gets fed up with SpongeBob's antics now and then and simply wants to get away every once in a while, and while it does make Patrick more real, the whole "burning an effigy to the ground and dancing on its ashes" thing is really dark for SpongeBob.
    On an additional note, I remember a really dark episode of Looney Tunes where Sylvester thinks he's finally eaten Tweety and after that is wrought with guilt and anxiety for days on end, even popping pills at one point if I remember correctly, only to reveal that Sylvester hadn't eaten Tweety but something put in Tweety's place, like a decoy.

    35:30 There's no moral, is Looney Tunes, I'm not saying they cant have educational value or anything the writers most likely just thought the idea of a cat not wanting to eat a willing bird was funny, specially since the dynamic of "cat vs mouse" was oversued at the time, it was a change in the formula.

    Surprisingly enough, I never actually found "Nasty Patty" to be that dark for a SpongeBob episode, especially because of how hilarious it was due to the slapstick humor that the series is known for and the fact that the health inspector was never dead at all despite how much comical pain he was able to go through. If that's the case, then the episode "Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost" would be considered just as dark because it involves SpongeBob and Patrick thinking that they killed Squidward and he's able to come back as a ghost when, in actuality, they just ruined a life-sized wax sculpture of Squidward while the real Squidward was able to come out of the shower while in his bathrobe and towel.

    you also should’ve included Are You Happy Now? from spongebob. in the episode,squidward falls into a deep depression and tries to commit suicide (through some unfunny cheap gags) twice. it’s very saddening to see,as squidward ist second favorite episode.

    I don’t know if anyone knows too much about this spongebob episode, it’s kinda new, but there is a spongebob episode called “Ink Lemonade.” Which even by the name sounds gross
    In my opinion it is quite possibly the most terrifying spongebob episode to ever air. It traumatized me and I don’t know how they even got it to air.
    I won’t go into detail because it’s terrifying and I suggest people to watch it on their own for their own experience but basically Spongebob and Patrick start selling stuff called “Black Lemonade.” and it is made by, and i kid you not, Squidwards ink, and somehow it is found delicious. Even their teeth turn black from it, they literally squeeze the ink out of squidward. It literally comes out of his nostrils. It is disgusting. But don’t worry, it gets worse. Ontop of that, they show SEVERAL scenes of inside body parts showed, they show spiders crawling out of squidwards mouth AND nose, even giant spiders appear. Ontop of that there is a part where Squidward feels no longer in control of his body and he feels has a puppet which is kinda deep for a kids show. It is honestly so disgusting and traumatizing dude. 😕
