- The Barney documentary brought up an interesting point that a pop culture icon can be both hated and loved. both of these feelings are necessary to progress the culture as a whole

I think it was just because the show wasn’t something realistic compared to other children’s shows. Steve and Blue had bad days, Sesame Street’s characters had them too and kids were told bluntly about it. I think Barney had an audience, and it’s deserving of it. I mean kids for 30 mins just had a happy place.
Fred Rogers also talked about topics like divorce and assassination in his show and there was an entire episode about racism on Arthur. Sure, Barney never talked about any of that stuff, but I still enjoyed it as a small girl as much as I had with Arthur and Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood.
@@marissawolff8491 Oh it still was a fine show for children for sure.
I clearly remember an episode where this girl is devastated because couldn't go to her grandfather's birthday party because he's in Mexico and it was the early 90's so she couldn't just Skype him up for a chat. I think I also remember another episode where a girl's cat dies.
@@misspinkpunkykat I think it was Hola Mexico and it was for Lucy and/or Tina, I believe. The cat dying episode I don’t remember. But I think Tina’s cat got loose when she was having a bad day. I remember the more realistic moments myself.
@@billa107 Died or ran away. I can't remember. Something tragic. I remember Barney or the other kids telling the older Hispanic girl (I can't remember which one was Tina and who was Lucy) ideas of how she can still stay in contact with her grandfather such as writing him letters.
Barney helped me get over depressions
For some reason. I think The flaws, are what makes characters, like the Sesame Street characters and The Muppets funny for adults!!
Never thought I’d hear Barney being compared to King of the Hill. What kind of bizarre ass crossover would that be?
Also just noticed. Barney was made in Allen, Texas.
KotH takes place in Arlen, Texas.
Just one letter off.
My mother hated Barney since she said "The kids were too unrealistic."
It was a show for kids ages 2 to 8. 🙄
@@marissawolff8491 Well yeah, but I mean she had to sort of watch it because there were 2 to 8 year olds in the room watching it.

But her complaining about the kids being "too unrealistic" in a show made for really little kids is a really stupid thing to complain about.
I always wondered how they somehow had access to the school after hours. Seriously, does one of them pick the lock every time they decide to hang out there?
Mine too! She frequently wondered why nobody was looking after them. Even today me and my mother are both big-time Barney haters. Not ashamed to say we are either.
And. Even The 4 original Wiggles, are now doing shows for adults now. So they know how to do stuff for adults to!!
At first, I was a little weirded out at The Wiggles covering "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC because I had grown up with them singing songs about food, monkeys and their old friend Dorothy the Dinosaur. But when I listened to their rendition of the 1990 AC/DC song, I actually was surprised at how good it sounded and it was being covered by the band who famouly sang "Toot-Toot, Chugga-Chugga, Big Red Car".
I'm mostly neutral with preschool shows but I never imagined Barney would get this much hatred
I hated Barney because my sister was obsessed with it as a kid. Same reason I disliked Blue's Clues.
That obsession is nothing more than admiration for someone who only seeks to show love and affection
Possible answer, but the very early 90s was seen as the nadir of Generation X cynicism and ennui, fed by events like the 1990/91 recession and the Pacific Northwest Timber crash.
This guy explained it so right
Imagine if Cocomelon came out during that time.
Bruh💀
I Don’t know why people hate Barney, I Love him so much, he has good songs and catchy tunes
I feel like most people don’t understand why Barney is the way he is. He is a stuffed doll that comes to life through the power of a kid’s imagination. He’s there to be a playmate/teacher to the kids.
The last line of the theme song states “Barney comes to play with us whenever we may NEED him, Barney can be YOUR FRIEND TOO if you just make believe him.”
They way how I interpret it is that Barney is an imaginary friend that can be anything you imagine him to be. So as long as you imagine him to be, it doesn’t matter his personality, he’ll still be your friend.
And that is the genius of Barney’s character.
Very well explained! Thank you! I watched him as a kid and I loved him because he made me smile. As a 5 year old boy, I always imagined him playing with me on the swings. He’d help push me to swing higher
I will be sure to introduce my children to Barney whenever I have them. It was good programming. How people hated such a wholesome show for no reason I’ll never know.
I think it boils down to why most parents hate baby shark.
The songs are very repetitive. And if you were a parent or uncle or babysitter at the time, you heard those songs way too much.
Plus I agree that Barney is too fuckin happy all the time. It’s not a good lesson for kids. Understand that it’s ok to be sad. Hell, I’d say it’s Healthy to be sad sometimes.
I also think parents criticize how Barney seems to make problems magically go away with just “imagination”.
I was a Barney fan as a kid in the late 90s to early 2000s. But looking at it as an adult, I understand why people hate him.
Barney does have good points though. He teaches the benefits of a positive attitude, he teaches the importance of music, he teaches the importance of friendship. And most famously, he teaches kids the power of imaginative thinking. Although imagination doesn’t solve problems, coming up with solutions does take a creative mind. These are All things kids should learn.
@@Shark97281 I’m not sure where this narrative of the show promotes lack of a negative emotion, or your problems can go away magically the show dealt with issues about getting along with other people through the kid character or even baby bop/Bj/Riff. Also, it wasn’t the type of show that need to go deeper than what some would have wanted it to and personally I think if you have a negative reaction to positivity, then there’s something wrong with in your soul
@@Shark97281 again it would be one thing. If the show with out right thing you can never be sad and happiness is the only thing you can experience, but the show mostly having a positive vibe shouldn’t be a criticism in my opinion.
@@Kingmationproductionz im not sure I understand what you are talking about. But it’s perfectly fine to like Barney. I’ll introduce him to my kids too. I just wanted to explain why some people don’t like him.
@@Shark97281 oh, no, it wasn’t directed towards you my friend but the argument on why people dislike the character
Reminds me of the rabbit argument in Donny Darko. This gave me lots to think about.
When I was little when Mr rogers passed away my 4 older cousins said that Barney killed him and actually Barney and mr Rogers were very Good friends and when Barney was cancelled Mr Rogers went to the supreme court and got a lot of money for kids programming for PBS.
I’m sorry but the lawyer from Jurassic Park came to mind.
I can see the same thing that happened with Skibidi Toilet, how many teen and adults were complaining about how these surreal animations were ruining children’s brains, often referring it as “brainrot.”
Today's Brainrot is worse than yesterday's Barney and history will reflect that. streaming numbers don't weigh the same as TV watches
I've never done street drugs and I don't intend to start. But maybe I should buy My Little Pony and Barney DVD's and get high on those, haha.
I watched all the shows on PBS kids and I was a Barney fan me and my sister are special needs and we love Barney and my special needs sister still loves Barney and knowing that Barney is coming back is very exciting and now we have 2 little nieces who's almost 3 and 1 years old and I'm hoping that the new Barney show stays true too the original. I'm very concerned with what they're showing on the tablets and tv. Then what the public schools are now grooming children
I used to watch Barney and Thomas the Tank Engine when I was a kid and and that got me into dinosaurs and trains and as an adult, I still like them now
Hi retrosik i love barney the purple dinosaur and i never hate the dinosaur barney im the only kind brown African American person who loves barney the dinosaur tv series and i did watch barney's documentary on peacock it was truly amazing much love to you sir thank you.❤💜🦖😍
Oh Yeah. You know they know, what they're doing at Sesame Street. When you see, Oscar!!!😆😆😆
So let me get this straight Barney is hated for not being realistic about how life ain’t all cherry pops and rainbows?🙄🤨 I mean obviously that’s the parents job to teach their kids that it’s a freaking TV shows shows aren’t suppose to be realistic nor teach children anything shows are strictly for ENTERTAINMENT! wth would you want a show to teach YOUR kids life lessons that suppose to be the PARENTS job 🙄 make that make sense please
Hello I have subscribed to your RUclips channel
Hi, much appreciated!
Even though I thought Barney was creepy as a kid, I still loved him alongside Thomas and Teletubbies. He did teach great morals just like Thomas did.
The only reason I got into anto Barney humour in 2009 and liked videos like the viral video clip known as "Barney meets his maker" is because in 2008
at an acquaintence's 21st birthday party we had to play pass the parcel with kids music from the 80s and 90s including a few songs from Barney which
I personally thought was inappropriate for a 21st birthday party. This acquaintence who I went to college with also annoyed me always saying "boom de anna"
which was part of a song called "I love the mountains" from Barney. I think anti Barney memes are OK to let off steam and if people wish to destroy their own
Barney soft toys then they are free to destroy their own personal property but sending the producers of Barney hate mail is unacceptable as for them they were
paid for their involvement in the TV series and I doubt any of them would have done it as unpaid work. Like all kids TV programs it's supposed to be educational.
I love the mountains isn`t from Barney. It`s from that discovery channel commercial with those two singing astronauts. That`s probably why he was saying it. And it`s "Boom De Yada" not "boom de anna".
My own theory for the Barney hate was because as kids grew up they realised just how annoyed their parents were at having to listen to him singing those songs and watching the show over and over, and thought if they hated Barney their parents would accept them as grown up.
I disagree I never really watched Barney but to hate it just because it doesn’t give a realistic vision to how life is suppose to be is stupid as adults and parents it’s OUR job to teach our kids about the cruel outside world it’s just a tv show!🙄 shows don’t teach a child nothing but entertainment their brains
Probably more along the lines that Barney, with all its toddler-aimed sunshine, was marketed furiously by PBS, especially with VHS tapes. And preschoolers can watch the same thing endlessly, even just to rehear a particular song. No longer would an adult be stuck with the happy sentient doll for a maximum of 30 minutes a day… but possibly forever, or whenever the tape self-destructed
Agreed 👍.
Looking back, the people in this show were unrealistic in the fact that they were always happy. Not something that I will expose my future children to. I would not feel right giving my kids an unrealistic impression of life. People are gonna get sad sometimes and Barney failed to address that.
While I do like the innocence and simplicity of the show, you're obviously right. I believe it obviously rubbed some people the wrong way that didn't have a happy family and life. If I remember correctly, it says somewhere in the Bible something like don't be happy and talk all happy and positive to someone who is down. And Barney doesn't teach kids how to treat people when in reality everybody isn't happy.
I feel when people say the show is happy all the time, they don't know what they're talking about sometimes the kids in the show would get sad, jealous and even angry.
@@47Cartoonguy I didn't know that as I didn't watch it. From what little I remember of what I saw on other people's TVs, they seemed to be happy. I was wrong.
I'd like to know how Barney treated them, but I don't want to watch it on YT or buy the DVDs.
Aye, I always wondered as a kid why nobody ever felt sad or angry or scared. Part of the reason I’m a proud Barney hater is because of that.
I still hate Barney, he was my sleep paralysis demon as a child
Barney deserved all the hate he got and so did all the people on the show.
Remind me again why you're still alive?
So having death threats is okay?
@@cisumfive_34
I've dealt with this asshole before, dude. He's commented on another video about Barney saying that the adults who love Barney should grow up.
Dude the way they hated barney is so wrong they act like he was teaching vilonce to children when he was teaching them about love and respect. People in society expecially adults think kids need to grow up at the age of 2 and teach them vilonce and crap. Anything that's ever positive on TV gets hated people want vilonce and gate on TV that's why our society is so screwed up.
@@aaronnantz2289 true crime and sex dont work well in preschool show just become something work well for baby dont work with adult that why Anything that's ever positive on TV gets hated people want vilonce and gate on TV and that's why our society is so screwed up.
