All Arthur's parents taught him was that using violence himself is wrong, but also that if someone else uses violence against him he should just accept it. Great lesson to teach if you want your son to be a human punching bag his entire life 👍
@@deniseg9210 DW would be the school shooter, and it would be because someone tried to set a boundary with her. So she'd find her parent's gun and do it, and we all know it would be Arthur's fault and he'd be the one who ended up in jail.
yes and no, it is that if someone does a crime against you that you had just gotten done committing you should remember that feeling of having that crime done to you and never do it again. essentially teaching him that if dw had hit him he should hit her back (or pay some other 4-year-old to do it instead) in order to teach her that being hit sucks. an eye for an eye. it isn't a crime if they did it first.
Might be for the best. If anything, having a sweet sounding voice would make D.W. even more annoying and more condescending sounding than she already is. That would've added gasoline to an open fire. We already have Little Susie from Phineas and Ferb for that.

DW getting punched is still the only really satisfying thing this show had to offer...mostly due to all the youtube poops that made decent use of it. Also, I never realized just how much Arthurs parents suck. *Arthur punches DW:* Hey you bad we punish. *Arthur gets punched:* Haha you get hit now.

Yeah I just don't get it. D.W Broke his model airplane and yet she gets all the love and attention from her parents and Arthur gets grounded because he punched her even though she deserved it. But when HE gets punched for no good reason whats so ever his parents are just like, "Yeah now you know how your poor little sister feels!" Bitch wtf? Also Grandma Thora should have just told Arthur the truth in the new years episode of what actually happened instead of letting D.W mess with Arthur.
I was just thinking that. Like okay, in the real world, it's still bad to punch a 4 year old. What DW did was wrong, and what Arthur did was wrong too. But if my son got punched in school by a bully, I'm fuckin' raising hell over it. You know what you teach your child if something bad like this happens to them and you berate them? They're gonna start accepting any abuse that comes to them, believe they deserve it some how. Like holy crap that's messed up. And maybe I'm looking far too deep into this for a kid's show, but at least make an effort to make the parents better.
I was the STORYBOARD SUPERVISOR on Arthur for these seasons. We actually did have a scene showing Arthur clearly hitting DW on the arm on the original storyboard but the client made us take it out as it was deemed too violent...so in a panic to get the show out to animation I sketched out the now iconic shot of Arthur's fist shaking in fury on a Post-It note to get around the client's restriction and slapped that over the shot of Arthur hitting DW on the arm and we tried to get away with the punch off screen...but of course in film, as all the great Directors like Alfred Hitchcock know, by NOT showing something it becomes infinitely more scary as your mind comes up with the most terrible scenarios to fill in the gaps. Arthur had great scripts by terrific writers that were instructed to NOT make a boring educational Magic School Bus type show...and boy did they deliver!

You mean middle child. The older child is just expected to be more responsible, the middle child always gets blamed for the younger ones mischief and the older ones mistakes.
@@caucasoidape8838 I know that all too well. That’s why my mom is going through a divorce with my stepdad for how he treated me and her over the years.
I didn't really watch Arthur growing up, but we had a VHS tape with like 2 or 3 episodes on it, and one of the few things I remember from that VHS tape was a line where Arthur is being accused of something, and he says he didn't do it and DW says "Yeah, just like you DIDN'T take my snowball out of the freezer!" and Arthur rolled his eyes and said "Let's not start THAT again!" and that line always stood out to me just because of how random and out of left field it seemed, and it never occurred to me that it was a reference to an earlier episode.
That episode really annoyed me. Arthur’s trying to do homework, D.W keeps pestering him with a child sing that says made up words, he threatens to break it, D.W tells her parents, they get mad at him.
I think DW was at her worst in DW’s Very Bad Mood, where she acts out for several days straight, all because she wasn’t invited to a classmate’s birthday party.
As a kid I didn't have words to describe how I felt about this particular character. As an adult I don't need them because the internet has already said it
The first episode would have been better if we’d had DW moaning to Emily at school about how her brother hit her but Emily being shocked by DW breaking her brother’s model plane and then her other classmates acting like Arthur’s friends when they find out about Arthur hitting DW somehow, and DW finally realising she was in the wrong too. Also, in DW’s Baby, I don’t get why DW always says “She’s MY sister” as if Kate isn’t also Arthur’s sister too.
As interesting as that sounds, that wouldn't remove the thing that people dislike about the episode. I would keep things the same but change two little things. 1. DW gets punished on screen 2. The parents call binky's parents on screen
“Maybe that’s how DW felt when you punched her.” Oh, so Binky’s parents don’t get informed about what happened? Binky doesn’t get the punishment Arthur did?
It’s usually once the older kid moves out that the parents see how bad the bratty, younger kid or kids are. Lol. My mother complained so badly about my younger siblings after I graduated and went to college. Once I left the house for good, I told her it was her fault. 🤷🏽♀️ They never had any true consequences.
Lmao this KINDA happened with me. EXCEPT only one of my younger siblings were really bad. And MY MOM KNEW. She even considered and floated the idea of sending him to military school if he didn't taper down once he got to a teenager. But she kept blowing me off, and actually convinced me that it was Actually my job to to teach, feed him, and raise him as a older sister. Not her, (idk, she had alot of issues, ALOT) she did her then version of gaslighting me which didn't exist as a term back then. When I Graduated and was moving out to another relatives house. I gave her a 3 month warning that she needed to find someone to look after him, babysit, or put her foot down. And start making him take more responsibility. She did nothing to prepare. so I just went ahead and left. After X amount of months of being gone, she start calling me complaining about his behavior. She had to deal with him FULL TIME. The oldest out of all of us. Told me "This boy is BAD". And I straight up rolled my eyes and said "You the one that told me he WASN'T A BAD CHILD. And guilted me for saying it like I was evil". Idk my whole family was in a alternate universe. And as for that younger sibling, he's a grown man now. But as a child, you'd wish you had DW. He made her look like a Angel.
I didn't know I needed DW hate content, but I'm here for it, keep it up! I remember watching Arthur with my little brother (we're just 1.5 years apart) and we hated DW so much, we cringed at the mention of her name lol. I love your editing, I laughed so hard at "The Good Son" bit. Poor Arthur, his whole family is either psycho or smooth brain at best.
Didn't it all end up being a ploy though? I thought at the very end she tells Brain 'oh I never believed any of that. I just wanted to go to the museum'
Oh yes…… Especially the part when Arthur ended up getting punished just for threatening to wreck the CD when he didn’t actually do anything. And what punishment does DW get? Nothing……… Just a little talking to you……… Sometimes I think DW is the original Karen.
@@kittygaillot2286 The way DW was obsessed with playing her favorite CD reminds me of when I was her age. I would play my Smurfs records to the point of annoying my older sister! Unlike the episode my sister never threatened to destroy my records because she knew that I would get upset like DW was. And had I done the things that she did to Arthur I would've gotten my butt whooped!
My own brother did that with a song from the 90's with some dude singing about wanting to be a butterfly. Apparently it had something to do with a spiritual awakening but I doubt he understood that. He loved the idea of flying. Eventually I got tired of hearing it and unplugged the stereo. He got upset. My father thanked me.
I was also obsessed with my brother as a 4 yr old when he was born. My parents did NOT let him sleep in my room. I was pissed about that lmao. I spent a lot of SUPERVISED time with him and gave him his first bottle and stuff.
Nah, cause William Afton would do something that kept her spirit alive for all eternity. DW is the kind of cartoon child that is the reason you have Anakin Skywalker on speed dial.
I don't know about D.W. deserving getting punched by Arthur, but I agree with you about what you said about Arthur's parents being apathetic (not cool) when Arthur got punched because like you said, at least Arthur had his reasons. Also "I'm just a child."? Ye- no. Even a child would know that it's just a toy. Whether she knew it was a toy or not that doesn't change that fact that she was told not to touch it, and did it anyway and like you said, tried to blame him for it. Also, Arthur's a child too, 2 can play this game.
These are the funniest videos I’ve seen in quite some time. Really brought me back to my childhood in a sarcastic way 😂 love it. Keep up the stellar work!! ❤
It’s funny how the parents are no where to be seen when D.W messes with the plane. This episode rubbed me the wrong way but it did teach me some valuable lessons. 1. Lock your door 2. Parents will always take up for the younger child.😂
I admit this might not be fair, but DW literally singlehandedly ruined this entire show down for me. I never wanted to watch it when it was on when I was younger because the episode might have had DW in it, that's how much I hated her (and to an extent still do). It's really telling just how bad a character is when they are the sole reason someone might not wanna watch your show at all. Even Scrappy Doo, the poster child for bad characters in otherwise good shows, didn't manage that, but DW Read did.
I will admit that her behavior (for me) becomes less annoying and a little more palatable in the late 2000s, but yeah, from 1996 to around 2007 or so, she was unbearable.

It doesn't surprise me that D.W didn't listen to being told several times by Arthur not to touch his model aeroplane. When the parents never discipline her, of course she's going to think there are no rules she has to follow.
I think it's important for everyone to catch a beating for doing stupid shit at least once in their life. To many people live as if they will never have to face consequences no matter how shitty they are to people, and this goes doubly so if they are the ones who authority figures would overlook when they abused others.
@@PeterParker-ff7ub PAIN = BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION. BE GOOD OR SMACKS. seriously though being abused as a child is why so many adults are ridiculously over defensive and afraid of consequence and therefore accept living in misery rather than being bold enough to change their life..that conditioning is life long
@@grass_snake80 IDK what brought abuse up. Kane's right, tho. Everyone NEEDS to get their shit kicked in at least once. Not getting that is exactly why the majority of modern society is so fucking narcissistic. People legitimately think they're superior and untouchable.
I wouldn't say everyone needs to catch a beating, but 100% they need to face consequences when they do something stupid/bad knowingly. Such as being grounded, or required to make some other short term sacrifice. Like having their toys taken away, or not allowed to do fun activities. Just so they realise "stupid=punishment". You can instill good behaviour and a healthy respect for boundaries without violencing being the punishment.
@@PlanetZoidstar the problem is that different people value different things, so most people have certain types of punishments that they can just shrug off. Violence however is a truly universal language that transcends language, culture, and even species. Something being punished is one thing, but knowing something is hazardous to your health is even more effective. Additionally, this isn't meant for the parents to be the one beating them, but rather an outsider who refuses to put up with the bs that someone that unconditionally loves them forgives.
Finally found someone that calls dw out on her bs and the idiot parents lol. Always hated dw as she's always being a pain that gets away with everything and never had to face consequences.
Oddly strange how most people see D.W. as an iconic savage while others still don’t like her because she’s in term a brat Am I missing something? Because I haven’t seen the show since childhood Plus I remember the punch scene, how I was waiting for it to air on tv and so far it’s not here
Arthur didn't do any bad things and DW did and his parents are in DW's side,even though Arthur didn't do anything. His parents are bad. Arthur should have leave his home and move to California.
No he shouldn't. The countryside is pretty, but most of the people are insane. Unless he intends to live like a hermit in the woods he's better off where he is.
As the youngest sibling: DW should've been thrown out the window. Younger siblings are allowed to get away with way too much because parents don't wanna parent them and their siblings shouldn't have to, resulting in the parents being neglectful enablers and the siblings being forced to be parents or completely neglecting and hating the little siblings. That leads to younger siblings either tormenting the older siblings further, or hurting everyone and themselves for attention. (Or just completely shutting down). We've gotta stop normalizing neglecting little kids and practically abusing the older siblings.
Then once the eldest moves out the parents then realize just how much of a hellspawn the youngest is, and doesn't know why despite enabling their behavior.
My friend's uncle sold her mom to the neighbors for $1 when she was a baby so he could get an ice cream 🤣 Luckily the neighbors took her back to their parents 😂
YEEEEEEEEEEEES! THANK YOU! Plus, the fact that they throw in Banky being pressured to punch Arthur is "the Peer Pressure" lesson. The episode already done with Buster. So the writing with Arthur and DW was absent minded and insulting towards the audience. Including the children
Look, obviously Arthur shouldn’t have hit DW, but she did kind of deserve it. Plus, I doubt Arthur knows how to throw a punch, it looks like he just knocked her down. I think it was right that Arthur got in trouble for what he did, but I feel like DW should’ve also gotten in trouble. After all, Arthur told her repeatably not to mess with his model plane, and she clearly did not respect his property. And I know the parents say that she’s gonna get in trouble, but since we never actually see that happen, we can infer that she just got a slap on the wrist. Seems to me like Arthur’s parents were playing favorites in this situation.
"D.W. is convinced that her parents don't know what they're doing (raising a baby); the mother promptly leaves Baby Kate alone with D.W. just before the parents determine that D.W. and Kate should share a room..."
I think a better ending of the big hit would have been D.W. feeling bad for her brother getting hurt, and Arthur learning not to hit through that. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
That was the worst episode and I remembered writing a letter as a kid to them. Like this WHOLE ass episode gaslighting Arthur and no one saw his point of view like yeeeeah hitting your siblings is wrong but sometimes they piss you off too the point ya snap and honestly DW deserved it and I was glad someone hit her
Agreed, DW is awful, but I do hope, just to bring it back to the real world for a minute, that her 8 voice actors didn't get hate for it. A job's a job, but some people...for some reason...don't seem to understand that, sadly. Great video BTW
I never realised how bad DW actually was, but maybe that's because she acted very similarly to my younger sister when we were growing up. Everyone in my family was so used to my sister's antics that calling her DW has been a running gag between my mom and I for the past 26 years.
If you thought that Caillou was perhaps the worst character to ever appear on young children’s television, he still totally is, but for the longest time DW had undoubtedly held that throne ever so gracefully.
(D.W. breaks something that doesn't belong to her, Arthur hits her.) Everyone else: She's just a little kid. (Arthur gets hit by Binky) Arthur's parents: It's karma. This particular episode is the main reason why I hate when people say, "They're just a little kid".
This might just be me but I think Arthur's parents are doing like a low-key couple's costume as a Sand(Witch) which is very funny but also not how you do that pun
I've literally never seen this show and only had exposure to it from the YTPs, but you've convinced me to hate this character I didn't know about outside of edited videos. She sounds like a real piece of work.
All Arthur's parents taught him was that using violence himself is wrong, but also that if someone else uses violence against him he should just accept it.
Great lesson to teach if you want your son to be a human punching bag his entire life 👍
Or if you're counting on him hitting a breaking point some time during high school and doing something "nobody could have possibly seen coming"...

I didn't really watch Arthur growing up, but we had a VHS tape with like 2 or 3 episodes on it, and one of the few things I remember from that VHS tape was a line where Arthur is being accused of something, and he says he didn't do it and DW says "Yeah, just like you DIDN'T take my snowball out of the freezer!" and Arthur rolled his eyes and said "Let's not start THAT again!" and that line always stood out to me just because of how random and out of left field it seemed, and it never occurred to me that it was a reference to an earlier episode.
That episode really annoyed me. Arthur’s trying to do homework, D.W keeps pestering him with a child sing that says made up words, he threatens to break it, D.W tells her parents, they get mad at him.
@@thewillofabeast9079 Should have threatened to break his foot off in her ass.
I think DW was at her worst in DW’s Very Bad Mood, where she acts out for several days straight, all because she wasn’t invited to a classmate’s birthday party.
I recently covered that episode: ruclips.net/video/9nzD5VmrTiE/видео.html
A birthday party for a girl she isn't really friends with, but her friend Emily got to go. Maybe there was no room?
DW just had to learn that she can’t always be invited to every event.
Yet the parents did absolutely nothing to stop her bad behavior. No disapline once so ever 😤
And the episode ends with her getting rewarded
Watching this was so cathartic that I realized D.W. didn't just traumatize Arthur, she traumatized all of us too. F U D.W.
As a kid I didn't have words to describe how I felt about this particular character. As an adult I don't need them because the internet has already said it
‘God forbid this demon child lives past 7!’ 🤣
The first episode would have been better if we’d had DW moaning to Emily at school about how her brother hit her but Emily being shocked by DW breaking her brother’s model plane and then her other classmates acting like Arthur’s friends when they find out about Arthur hitting DW somehow, and DW finally realising she was in the wrong too.
Also, in DW’s Baby, I don’t get why DW always says “She’s MY sister” as if Kate isn’t also Arthur’s sister too.
As interesting as that sounds, that wouldn't remove the thing that people dislike about the episode. I would keep things the same but change two little things. 1. DW gets punished on screen
2. The parents call binky's parents on screen
“Maybe that’s how DW felt when you punched her.” Oh, so Binky’s parents don’t get informed about what happened? Binky doesn’t get the punishment Arthur did?
To be fair, binky did apologize to Arthur.
@@harrisonbetker2271 But he otherwise got off scot free.
Binky just blindly listened to his so-called friends and never bothered to question them.
@@justin2308I know binky was really sorry so it doesn’t bother me necessarily, but it should definitely bother Arthur’s parents
It’s usually once the older kid moves out that the parents see how bad the bratty, younger kid or kids are. Lol. My mother complained so badly about my younger siblings after I graduated and went to college. Once I left the house for good, I told her it was her fault. 🤷🏽♀️ They never had any true consequences.
Lmao this KINDA happened with me. EXCEPT only one of my younger siblings were really bad. And MY MOM KNEW. She even considered and floated the idea of sending him to military school if he didn't taper down once he got to a teenager.
But she kept blowing me off, and actually convinced me that it was Actually my job to to teach, feed him, and raise him as a older sister. Not her, (idk, she had alot of issues, ALOT) she did her then version of gaslighting me which didn't exist as a term back then.
When I Graduated and was moving out to another relatives house. I gave her a 3 month warning that she needed to find someone to look after him, babysit, or put her foot down. And start making him take more responsibility. She did nothing to prepare. so I just went ahead and left.
After X amount of months of being gone, she start calling me complaining about his behavior. She had to deal with him FULL TIME.
The oldest out of all of us. Told me "This boy is BAD". And I straight up rolled my eyes and said
"You the one that told me he WASN'T A BAD CHILD. And guilted me for saying it like I was evil".
Idk my whole family was in a alternate universe. And as for that younger sibling, he's a grown man now. But as a child, you'd wish you had DW. He made her look like a Angel.
I didn't know I needed DW hate content, but I'm here for it, keep it up! I remember watching Arthur with my little brother (we're just 1.5 years apart) and we hated DW so much, we cringed at the mention of her name lol. I love your editing, I laughed so hard at "The Good Son" bit. Poor Arthur, his whole family is either psycho or smooth brain at best.
Except for baby Kate, she's smarter then she looks. But no one knows that.
The episode when DW thought she was smarter than Arthur cracks me up because everyone was believing her bullshit. Including Buster. 😭😭😭
And now, at 30, i know people who would have believed her
@@Speleomimus same here. 😭😭😭😭😭
@@Speleomimus Oh Christ, DW was dealing in fake news before that thing went mainstream.
@@TheAeroAvatar DW is definitely anti-vax and is intentionally vague on her whereabouts on January 6, 2021 😂
Didn't it all end up being a ploy though? I thought at the very end she tells Brain 'oh I never believed any of that. I just wanted to go to the museum'
I wish you would've included the episode where DW drives Arthur crazy by playing her Crazy Bus CD a thousand times a day!
I misread your comment as DW playing her _Crazy _*_Taxi_* CD everyday, and imagined her playing “That’s All I Want” everywhere she went, 24/7! 🤣
Oh yes…… Especially the part when Arthur ended up getting punished just for threatening to wreck the CD when he didn’t actually do anything. And what punishment does DW get? Nothing……… Just a little talking to you……… Sometimes I think DW is the original Karen.
@@kittygaillot2286 The way DW was obsessed with playing her favorite CD reminds me of when I was her age. I would play my Smurfs records to the point of annoying my older sister! Unlike the episode my sister never threatened to destroy my records because she knew that I would get upset like DW was. And had I done the things that she did to Arthur I would've gotten my butt whooped!
My own brother did that with a song from the 90's with some dude singing about wanting to be a butterfly. Apparently it had something to do with a spiritual awakening but I doubt he understood that. He loved the idea of flying. Eventually I got tired of hearing it and unplugged the stereo. He got upset. My father thanked me.

I think that’s really sweet :)

DW is the kind of cartoon child that you would want William Afton from Five Nights at Freddy’s to have alone time with.
Nah, cause William Afton would do something that kept her spirit alive for all eternity. DW is the kind of cartoon child that is the reason you have Anakin Skywalker on speed dial.

Or Haiji Towa.
I don't know about D.W. deserving getting punched by Arthur, but I agree with you about what you said about Arthur's parents being apathetic (not cool) when Arthur got punched because like you said, at least Arthur had his reasons. Also "I'm just a child."? Ye- no. Even a child would know that it's just a toy. Whether she knew it was a toy or not that doesn't change that fact that she was told not to touch it, and did it anyway and like you said, tried to blame him for it. Also, Arthur's a child too, 2 can play this game.
If I did that, I would just ask for someone to punch me.
as if she doesn't know that by saying she is just a child, she is proving that she has enough self awareness to not be the way she is
Nahhh she def deserved it. If more people got punched for doing bad things to others, we'd have less a-holes in the world.
1000% deserved.
I love all the Mr Ratburn jokes
These are the funniest videos I’ve seen in quite some time. Really brought me back to my childhood in a sarcastic way 😂 love it. Keep up the stellar work!! ❤
Dw aka Dora Winifred Read being deserved to punch by her brother for destroyed his model plane.
Dude, your comedic one-liners are hilarious.
It’s funny how the parents are no where to be seen when D.W messes with the plane. This episode rubbed me the wrong way but it did teach me some valuable lessons. 1. Lock your door 2. Parents will always take up for the younger child.😂
I admit this might not be fair, but DW literally singlehandedly ruined this entire show down for me. I never wanted to watch it when it was on when I was younger because the episode might have had DW in it, that's how much I hated her (and to an extent still do). It's really telling just how bad a character is when they are the sole reason someone might not wanna watch your show at all. Even Scrappy Doo, the poster child for bad characters in otherwise good shows, didn't manage that, but DW Read did.
I will admit that her behavior (for me) becomes less annoying and a little more palatable in the late 2000s, but yeah, from 1996 to around 2007 or so, she was unbearable.
My brother just said the same thing 😂
I feel like Deedee is worse because she stars in more episodes and destroys Dexter's things for literally no reason.
@@YujiUedaFan In defense of Deedee... Dexter never had any illusions to being a "Moral" program... Dexter beats his entire class up with a exomech that fires dodgeballs... While PBS had a flat out mandate "You actually have to be in someway "Educational" and "Moralistic"...
@@AnthonyGladbach Because Dexter lost it after getting beaten up constantly.
If there was a tier list of annoying sisters DW is DEFINITELY #1
Or at the very least #2, right behind Sarah from Ed, Edd, n Eddy
What about Dee Dee from Dexter's Lab? That bitch broke shit for the lolz.
@@benjaminkern6450 Sarah actually does have a very MINOR redemption arc in Big Picture show at the end. But I mean it's still more than DW got or deserves. If DW were my sister I'd be calling Anakin saying "Hey I think I found a youngling you missed."
No way. It's DeeDee from Dexter's lab. Although the big sister she acts like dw
@@coffeebux MAN I hate Deedee, she's such a brat and she hides her intelligence behind destruction and manipulation. I swear most people aren't even AWARE of how much she sucks!
For those of you who are curious, the narrator of the first episode is Aaron Daniel Jacob, who was a voice actor on Phineas and Ferb. He's one of the lead singers on this song from Candace Against the Universe: ruclips.net/video/EXu9zczzohU/видео.html
his dad is the composer for music in phineas and ferb and some other disney channel shows
Chop away at my heart!! That's so cool!!
It doesn't surprise me that D.W didn't listen to being told several times by Arthur not to touch his model aeroplane.
When the parents never discipline her, of course she's going to think there are no rules she has to follow.
Grandma shouldn't have talked her out of it and left her on the island. No one would have missed her and everyone would have been happier.
7:27. To be fair.... Dorothy Winifred Reed was a total Karen
Yeah, good point.
it's Dora Winifred you filthy casual
I think it's important for everyone to catch a beating for doing stupid shit at least once in their life. To many people live as if they will never have to face consequences no matter how shitty they are to people, and this goes doubly so if they are the ones who authority figures would overlook when they abused others.
BEATING FOR EVERYONE
@@PeterParker-ff7ub PAIN = BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION. BE GOOD OR SMACKS. seriously though being abused as a child is why so many adults are ridiculously over defensive and afraid of consequence and therefore accept living in misery rather than being bold enough to change their life..that conditioning is life long
@@grass_snake80 IDK what brought abuse up. Kane's right, tho. Everyone NEEDS to get their shit kicked in at least once. Not getting that is exactly why the majority of modern society is so fucking narcissistic. People legitimately think they're superior and untouchable.
I wouldn't say everyone needs to catch a beating, but 100% they need to face consequences when they do something stupid/bad knowingly. Such as being grounded, or required to make some other short term sacrifice. Like having their toys taken away, or not allowed to do fun activities. Just so they realise "stupid=punishment".
You can instill good behaviour and a healthy respect for boundaries without violencing being the punishment.
@@PlanetZoidstar the problem is that different people value different things, so most people have certain types of punishments that they can just shrug off. Violence however is a truly universal language that transcends language, culture, and even species. Something being punished is one thing, but knowing something is hazardous to your health is even more effective. Additionally, this isn't meant for the parents to be the one beating them, but rather an outsider who refuses to put up with the bs that someone that unconditionally loves them forgives.
"Because DW is so illiterate, she should change her middle name from 'Winifred' to 'Can't'"
Bro I can't 💀
That's so savage, I love it.
Neither can D.W. XD
This episode makes my mom rage quit and it’s always funny to me considering how she does the same shit the parents do with us.
When you're the oldest child, you relate to Arthur. It seems like I was the practice child and my parents often sided with my younger siblings.
I remember this episode! It was the first time I saw him loose his shit and it stayed with me forever.
Finally found someone that calls dw out on her bs and the idiot parents lol. Always hated dw as she's always being a pain that gets away with everything and never had to face consequences.
Oddly strange how most people see D.W. as an iconic savage while others still don’t like her because she’s in term a brat
Am I missing something?
Because I haven’t seen the show since childhood
Plus I remember the punch scene, how I was waiting for it to air on tv and so far it’s not here
It's because she does and say what she wants and no one gets on to her about it and.many people wish they could do the same
10:13 "Because DW is so illiterate, she should change her middle name from Winifred to Can't." LOL! I get it. DW Can't Read!
Dora Can't Read.
😂😂😂😂
Being an older sibling, it definitely feels like this.
Arthur didn't do any bad things and DW did and his parents are in DW's side,even though Arthur didn't do anything. His parents are bad.
Arthur should have leave his home and move to California.
No he shouldn't. The countryside is pretty, but most of the people are insane. Unless he intends to live like a hermit in the woods he's better off where he is.
Wrong direction. Go east.
no one should move to California. basically IRL twitter at this point
Caillou’s parents: Spoil their son
Arthur’s Parents: Hate their son
As the youngest sibling: DW should've been thrown out the window. Younger siblings are allowed to get away with way too much because parents don't wanna parent them and their siblings shouldn't have to, resulting in the parents being neglectful enablers and the siblings being forced to be parents or completely neglecting and hating the little siblings. That leads to younger siblings either tormenting the older siblings further, or hurting everyone and themselves for attention. (Or just completely shutting down).
We've gotta stop normalizing neglecting little kids and practically abusing the older siblings.
PREACH
Then once the eldest moves out the parents then realize just how much of a hellspawn the youngest is, and doesn't know why despite enabling their behavior.
Literally I am so glad me and my brother were treated equally when we were growing up. If one of us did something bad we would be rightfully punished.
My friend's uncle sold her mom to the neighbors for $1 when she was a baby so he could get an ice cream 🤣
Luckily the neighbors took her back to their parents 😂
YEEEEEEEEEEEES! THANK YOU!
Plus, the fact that they throw in Banky being pressured to punch Arthur is "the Peer Pressure" lesson. The episode already done with Buster. So the writing with Arthur and DW was absent minded and insulting towards the audience. Including the children
I think I read somewhere that even Marc Brown, the creator of Arthur, regrets making “Arthur’s Big Hit”
I've been watching "FU D.W" for a while and I've been laughing my ass off for a while, thank you for making this series 😂
4:54 It’s honestly heartwarming to see DW like this
ah yes, my favorite part
*just sell the child for 50 cents*
I love the theory of Arthur's dad and Mr. Rayburn having an affair
DW is the example of the worst sibling you can ever have
What a great series! Cannot wait for the entire season to come out on the same video!
Look, obviously Arthur shouldn’t have hit DW, but she did kind of deserve it. Plus, I doubt Arthur knows how to throw a punch, it looks like he just knocked her down.
I think it was right that Arthur got in trouble for what he did, but I feel like DW should’ve also gotten in trouble. After all, Arthur told her repeatably not to mess with his model plane, and she clearly did not respect his property. And I know the parents say that she’s gonna get in trouble, but since we never actually see that happen, we can infer that she just got a slap on the wrist.
Seems to me like Arthur’s parents were playing favorites in this situation.
DW called it on the time warp. The show keeps continuing and no one gets older.
Wait the show is still going on new episodes? I didnt know that
@@Queenjess69 idk if it’s still going on in 2023, but very recently, like last year or so, we saw Mr Ratburn get married.
@@snowbird1381 I think by last year or so you mean around 4 or 5 years ago
"After pushing the plane and her brother over the edge, she repeatedly plays the victim"
Arthur foreshadowed social media activist culture apparently.
Yep
I mean to be fair that has existed in less publicly obvious corruption since at least the sixties. It's very clearly displayed in Fritz the Cat
Winner of the "best comment of the day" award. Well done!
"D.W. is convinced that her parents don't know what they're doing (raising a baby); the mother promptly leaves Baby Kate alone with D.W. just before the parents determine that D.W. and Kate should share a room..."
I think a better ending of the big hit would have been D.W. feeling bad for her brother getting hurt, and Arthur learning not to hit through that.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
It makes so much sense that she becomes a police officer in the end. 💀
She Probably Became A Racist Cop-
I wish I had Mr. Read's sandwich suit, I think i'd feel like a GIANT just wearing that.
That was the worst episode and I remembered writing a letter as a kid to them. Like this WHOLE ass episode gaslighting Arthur and no one saw his point of view like yeeeeah hitting your siblings is wrong but sometimes they piss you off too the point ya snap and honestly DW deserved it and I was glad someone hit her
This is gonna be something 🗣️💯🔥
This man has an entire channel dedicated to hating on DW I love the pettiness
5:35 “DW decided to run away, the first sensible decision she’s made in her entire life”
The hatred for DW is the kind of fury I haven't seen since pepple made videos about Cailou
Agreed, DW is awful, but I do hope, just to bring it back to the real world for a minute, that her 8 voice actors didn't get hate for it. A job's a job, but some people...for some reason...don't seem to understand that, sadly. Great video BTW
Dw reminds me of my stepsister
Love this! You earned a sub, remember me when you get big, bro!
I never realised how bad DW actually was, but maybe that's because she acted very similarly to my younger sister when we were growing up. Everyone in my family was so used to my sister's antics that calling her DW has been a running gag between my mom and I for the past 26 years.
She should've been punished for destroying Arthur's room after originally thinking he took her snowball!
DW: okay Ima fuck around
life: here's your consequences lol
DW: yeah I'm going to cry to my parents and play the victim now
watching arthur before going to school at 6am and raining outside is a great memory ill never forget.
Strange how in the New Years, like 5 minutes have passed since DW got up angry about New Years and Arthur checks the clock.
I enjoyed this series FAR, FAR more than I intended to! It should NOT have been this entertaining!
