The darkest part about these episodes is that I didn’t realize how dark and bleak they were the first time I watched them. As an adult, I am now aware. 😨😨😨💔💔💔
That whole iCarly episode of Nora was disturbing and sad. It wasn't seen like that since it was covered by laughs and most that saw it at first saw it when they were really young.
@@ExcitedBlini-ng6jq They've been enemies for decades, Plankton can trick you into pretending to be redeemed, & Plankton makes creative disguises. You try guarding the formula from him
Let’s not forget about the second time Katara used bloodbending when she and Zuko were trying to find the person who killed Katara and her brother’s mom
Nora is the defenitive description of what happen when you let your fanaticism get the better of you, regardless of your opinion about someone or something (whenever is love or hate). And I always feel the same feelings as Katara's at the end of her episode, when she ended up becoming into the thing she never wanted to be. Everything in excess is insane.
@@hannahdelvecchio7521 Not as dark as working with a centrain creep from the said studio? Fair point, I can't argue with that. None of this episodes will ever top that experience, making me feel bad for the actors behind Nickelodeon.
Other dark episodes include: •Ren & Stimpy- The episode when Stimpy loses his fart friend •Rugrats- Chucky has a pet insect and him dealing with its death
In my perspective I think survival of the hottest of victorious is dark. Knowing that everyone but cat are stuck in the hotbox ready to accept their burning death is dark. There are 2 parties to blame. 1. The big RV that parked beside beck's without stopping to check, 2. Cat for getting distracted by cute guys
It's definitely unnerving because Josh is the most energetic and nicest character in the show so for someone like that to tell you that he's done to your face, you REALLY messed up
@@crimsonmoonrise9785well in real life drake bell has had a worse life than Josh peck will ever have so I really can’t stand that episode and think Josh was being too sensitive
The Rugrats episode, that I was scared of when I was younger, was when Angelica thought that she was having a younger brother and the baby looked like a gangster mob - type especially the voice
The one constant in The Fairly Oddparents is that nearly all of Timmy's wishes(big,small,selfish,or generous) backfire in an epic way. It's almost like it's on purpose.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Honorable mentions: Krabby Patty Creature Feature - SpongeBob SquarePants No Such Luck - The Loud House The Curse of the PCA - Zoey101 Vampires, Ghosts, Werewolves and Zombies- Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide
I would include Jimmy Neutron episode “One of Us”, which is about how a strange old lady’s TV show has hypnotized the people of Retroville to become mindless slaves who always smile. Then there’s the episode “Flippy” where after Jimmy placed a “funny chip” on his father’s ventriloquist dummy, the dummy starts to consume Hugh Neutron’s mind in order to become more human. And lastly, in the Glitch Techs episode, “Ralphie Bear Is Back”, not only was it a reference to the FNAF games, but it was about how Five wanted to have a long overdue birthday show with the animatronic Ralphie, but Miko was very skeptical because of suffering childhood trauma over being scared of Ralphie. Not to mention another animatronic malfunctions and attacks them.
One could say even leo avenging splinter was dark in itself. It almost reminded me of when brainiac 5 killed imperiax but as a result the original brainiac took over his mind and body as a result. Difference is leo never lost himself while brainy temporarily lost himself.
The worst part of the Invader Zim episode is that someone actually went to do the same thing that Zim did. A man bludgeoned his female neighbor and disemboweled her while she was still alive to see how long she could last without vital organs. He cited "Dark Harvest" as the inspiration behind the crime, although it was noted that he was obsessed with violence and human organs
Nora may be a fictional character but she is a true representation of parasocial relationships with influencers. It doesn’t help that her parents turn out to be equally psychotic and help her kidnap Carly, Sam and Freddy again. But when someone, particularly a minor, is isolated and has unfettered access to the Internet it can have disastrous effects. Children need to be protected in case they become the targets
@@estebangutierrez160Oh yea good point. She was creepy and she had no sense of boundaries but not in a predatory way. Once she found a new fascination she moved on
@@AliAngelpie and while she is still a big fan of iCarly, and even the president of One Direction's fan club, at worse she'll just break in and at best make cookies of the people she's a fan of.
It's not a kid's network, it's a network for general audiences. That's so disrespectful. You might be confusing it with nick jr. (The only nickelodeon network that airs preschool cartoons for kids). But the main nickelodeon network, on the other hand, airs cartoons for audiences of all ages. Not just children. THEY can have dark moments because they're not airing on nick jr. People seriously need to stop stereotyping all animation as just kids stuff. Nickelodeon doesn't just make stuff for kids you know.
The Ultimate Enemy and Requiem are my all time favourites. The Ultimate Enemy is like X-Men Days of the Future Past and Requiem is very emotional with Splinter's death.
I still can’t forgive shredder for killing my favorite version of splinter and i was hype when leo was the one that avenged splinter while somehow keeping it kid friendly and not showing blood.
Surprised this list went with The Puppetmaster and not like The Southern Raiders. That scene of the Fire Nation Admiral killing Katara's mom is just heart breaking.
I think Southern Raiders is slightly less dark than Puppetmaster only because we don't see Kya being killed, it's just an implied dark thought. Actually seeing bloodbending in action as well as learning about Hama developed the skill is what bumps up the horror of this episode. The story of Nini in the beginning also adds a small boost.
@@allystrong15 Especially the scene where she controls Aang and Sokka at the same time and actually came close to killing Aang if Katara didn't resort to Bloodbending Hama
Raggedy Android makes sense when you realize Rob Renzetti is a fan of horror. Even he almost made a third Raggedy Android episode where it tries to drown Brad but was scrapped.
The darkest part of the Ghost Bride episode of Hey Arnold, is the fact that the story of the titular bride involves someone actually being murdered And the implication that she might not even be fictional at the end of the episode
.The Hey Arnold episode when Arnold reunites a Vietnamese immigrant with his daughter over 20 years after he handed her off to an American soldier so she wouldn't have to grow up in what was then a war torn country. .Or the time Arnold taught an grown adult immigrant how read and write in English. Frankly, you could fill this list with nothing but Hey Arnold episodes. .Jet's hypnosis and offscreen death in ATLA. .also in ATLA Appas Lost Days
That Drake and Josh episode was dark indeed. Also Drake should have done more than apologize to Josh. Drake’s selfishness has caused Josh a lot of problems. Drake should’ve done something really nice for Josh and say something like “I felt really terrible about what happened and it made me realize how selfish I’ve been all these years”
I can think of a few Victorious episodes that were dark like Crazy Ponnie which was their IPsycho with Sam as the Nora-like character, The Worst Couple where it was Jade/Beck at peak Toxicity, Who did it to Trina, and to some extent Tori gets stuck where Jade would do anything for a role, including nearly killing two of her friends.
Timmy (and we the audience), should've realised something was up when Jorgan showed Crocker was better off with Timmy not going back in time to try and stop Crocker from losing Cosmo and Wanda, when ot was made obvious that, even without Timmy's unintentional interference causing them to be exposed, Past Cosmo would've unintentionally exposed Crocker anyway because he was stupid. Timmy (and we) should've picked up on that, but we got swept up in the episode's premise, so it didn't click right away 🤷♀️
I hated that episode. Timmy was doing nice things for others without reward but gets yelled at and then was told everyone else's lives would be better if he stayed dead? I even agree with him on how AJ having hair has anything to do with him
Chuckie’s Wonderful Life basically happened because of what Angelica said. I know she was always a little b; but those were some terrible things to say, even for her.
I would love another Hey Arnold movie titled something like: *Grow Up, Oskar!* It’s tough since the original actor passed away, But the story of Oskar dealing with Suzie leaving him, deciding he has to change before it’s too late, and finding something to care about, would be a great story if done well.
Omgawd the rugrats scene in the start of this video is such a Childhood Memory for me. I had that episode on VCR. Me and my brother had so many RugRats VCR Tapes. I didn't care if we watched re-runs.
TBH, Wormy from Spongebob is really dark. Not only because SpongeBob & Patrick sent the entire town of Bikini Bottom into a panic, but it’s also because of that horribly terrifying closeup of a blowfly. What in God’s name were the guys behind Nickelodeon thinking when they came up with this episode?! Imagine the number of children that were traumatized by this episode! That closeup still haunts my nightmares, even as a grown man. I can’t help but scream every time I see a clip of that traumatizing bug closeup. 😖
Something even *darker* about Angelica's Worst Nightmare is that when Charlotte finds out she's not pregnant in the end, she makes it seem like there was a miscarriage (either that or she had a false positive pregnancy test, which is more likely.)
The Zortog sketch from All That should be worth mentioning since they served human meat to customers. It's pretty dark since it involves cannibalism. Or, you also can't go wrong with the Kenan & Kel movie Two Heads are Better than None which probably inspired that sketch.
The Wishful Life episode is not for people especially CHILDREN who are having deletion thoughts. We don't ever want kids to think for one second that the whole entire world would be better off without them. I spent my whole young life thinking that of myself and wishing I was never born and now in adulthood whenever things are going especially bad for me I start thinking like that again. Crying, screaming and hitting my head saying that my mother should have aborted me when she had the chance (there are a lot of things in my life that break my spirit but my rocky relationship with my mother is the biggest one) and my fiance has to calm me down and comfort me. That episode made my dark thoughts even stronger when I was a kid and it often times gives me flashbacks now. Personally I think it never should have been made but I'm not out to get it banned or anything.
What about the horrendous Spongebob episode "A Pal for Gary"? It showed from Gary's perspective how he was repeatedly nearly slaughtered by a hideous monster that was supposed to be a new companion for him. But what's worse is that Spongebob remained stupidly oblivious during the events and at the end, he still didn't notice or learn. There's also the Rugrats episode "Under Chuckie's Bed". While it was ultimately revealed to only be a sweater, what child hasn't at one point been terrified of the possibility that there's a monster after them? There's also perhaps the episode of The Wild Thornberrys where Eliza goes into the supposedly haunted forest. Even without the creepy final shot of the episode and foreboding atmosphere, the real life wilds of Africa are scary and dangerous as they are. And what about the Jimmy Neutron special "Win, Lose, & Kaboom"? There were so many unknown dangers the heroes had to face, combined with the fact that any team that lost or resisted would get their home planets destroyed, like countless others before. And one final mention of Spongebob Squarepants could be the episode "To Save a Squirrel". While it may have started out as comical or eventually irritating due to Patrick's incompetence, it eventually became sort of disturbing due to the fact that Spongebob and Patrick became hungry and paranoid enough to eat each other or Sandy (despite her deserving a comeuppance and "survival of the fittest" be damned).
“Are you afraid of going in the water? Well this episode is guaranteed to make it worse.” No, it’s legitimately THE REASON I’ve been afraid of water since I was a kid 😂 Dead Man’s Float messed me up baaaad lolol
Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Puppet Master Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Requiem SpongeBob SquarePants - Rock Bottom The Ren and Stimpy Show - Ren’s Brain Rocko’s Modern Life - To Heck and back Zoey 101 - The Curse of PCA Icarly - I believe in Bigfoot Sam and Cat - Dollsitting
I personally felt it was good that Josh finally put his foot down in "Josh is Done." After all, the fact that Drake is annoyingly stupid and highly selfish and inconsiderate, Josh deserved to finally have some joy and good things happen to him, especially considering the fact how much stress and even misery Drake and Megan cause him on a regular basis. Perhaps it might have worked out if Josh had never even become family with the Parkers?
That "Are you afraid of the dark" episode scared the hell out of me as child, I hadn't seen it since I was like 8 in 1999, so that was a weird flashback 😂 ATLA bloodbending definitely came to mind when I saw this list, no surprise it's number one
I'm gonna give you guys not only a dark butt also most hated/worst nickelodeon episode ever to air on nickelodeon no such luck the loud house It starts off with Lincoln, telling us that he doesn't get much free time Then he bumps into Lynn Making him go to her football game in which she loses and she blames it on him calling him bad luck Lincoln goes along with his bad luck to get out of all of his sister's activities. But as the episode goes on, they begin to reject him It even gets to the point where they make him sleep outside But towards the end of the episode, he tries and proves he isn't bad luck But as the episode ends, he is still wearing the suit Hes wearing at the game at the beach This episode Was to suppose to represents how you shouldn't miss out on your family things Instead, it represented child abuse And neglect. This episode got so much hate from critics Including me I'm surprised they haven't removed. The episode from the airwaves never to be seen again
Josh is Done in Drake and Josh was good. Josh cutting out Drake in his life is better because all the trouble and blame Josh has gotten into…there is a line that had to be crossed
If I was Josh, I wouldn't have forgiven Drake, if my brother made me miss a really important test/exam just because he wanted to meet up with a girl, I wouldn't let that go and never forgive him or at least not so quickly.
That episode of Invader Zim actually had supposedly led to a student committing murder and they said the episode might've influenced him in the murders while they tried to deny that.
11:36-12:28 I read this crossover comic between LOK and sonic the hedgehog and our favorite blue blur shows the last avatar that it’s better to start appreciating than expecting
Darkest nickelodeon ep......quiet on set. Ik it's a max original and it's a special documentary but it guest star all nick complaining about Dan Schneider so I have to count it
Seeing the Puppet master from ATLA made me think that she may have also taught blood bending to Yakkone's future mother(or father) who invented the psychic technique used in LOK by both him and his son Amon
Why you showing clips of ‘Mega Diaper Babies’ when introducing ‘Angelica’s Worst Nightmare’? I know they are both part of the same overall episode but the stories are not connected at all.
My name is Ben Page and I am finally finishing up my script bringing back live action movies and live action tv shows into animation for a computer animated movie tv show crossover origin story in 2026
3:32 when I saw this episode the first time I went in my brain going like what in the living 🦆 was Butch Hartman thinking. If you don't know who's Butch Hartman he is the creator of the fairly OddParents Danny phantom and a few animated TV shows on Nickelodeon. I like his shows but him as a person I don't he gives me again creep vibes
It’s a wishful life wasn’t only dark, it was also infuriating, you’re basically telling kids to be grateful for the people around them who might be fully ungrateful with their own lives, acting unappreciative for even the kindest deeds even a random stranger might do for them Worst part was when Jorgen literally had the audacity to show Timmy that life would’ve been better if he was never born…that’s not even dark, that’s just fucked up and mentally dehumanizing, shame on Butch for even making that episode I get doing good things just for attention is not a good thing(that I can agree on, with TikTok clips being a prime example), but this episode could’ve been executed with much more actual care and effort with executing their childhood, it’s almost like you’re telling kids that they’re a burden to people’s lives Rugrat’s did a better job of their version of the classic movie(pretty sad, but well done), people should be reminded that they are loved, not a burden
The darkest part about these episodes is that I didn’t realize how dark and bleak they were the first time I watched them. As an adult, I am now aware. 😨😨😨💔💔💔
Same here!
Thanks alot Dan Schneider
@@mayflower7811not all of them were because of Dan Schneider.
That whole iCarly episode of Nora was disturbing and sad. It wasn't seen like that since it was covered by laughs and most that saw it at first saw it when they were really young.
I think it’s even darker knowing what we know now
It was like Misery for kids
Plankton Paranoia may be dark, but I couldn't stop laughing at Mr. Krabs banning everyone and being too suspicious.
It’s like that Chowder episode Banned from the Stand
I don’t think I can take any episode seriously!
But that still doesn’t cover his actions. If I was any of those people I would’ve slapped him and been like you’re freaking crazy😡😡😡😡
@@ExcitedBlini-ng6jq They've been enemies for decades, Plankton can trick you into pretending to be redeemed, & Plankton makes creative disguises. You try guarding the formula from him
It's _still better_ than _One Coarse Meal._
To me, plankton paranoia is the writers looking at one coarse meal, and asking “what if we try this again, but didn’t make it offensive this time?”
How it could've gone is after Pearl scared plankton, Mr krabs can hire and pay Pearl to protect the krusty krab
Going into this, I expect "The Puppetmaster", the bloodbending episode, from ATLA, to be no. 1
Let’s not forget about the second time Katara used bloodbending when she and Zuko were trying to find the person who killed Katara and her brother’s mom
To play puppeteer with mankind's enemy (the Firebenders)? Interesting...
Nora is the defenitive description of what happen when you let your fanaticism get the better of you, regardless of your opinion about someone or something (whenever is love or hate).
And I always feel the same feelings as Katara's at the end of her episode, when she ended up becoming into the thing she never wanted to be.
Everything in excess is insane.
Not as dark
@@hannahdelvecchio7521
Not as dark as working with a centrain creep from the said studio?
Fair point, I can't argue with that. None of this episodes will ever top that experience, making me feel bad for the actors behind Nickelodeon.
She's a demon.
There is nothing dark about that icarly episode!
I'm surprised that the Christmas episode from Hey Arnold wasn't in there. The scene where the daughter walks in gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
That or Helga on the couch.
Technical that wasn't necessarily a dark episode (sans the circumstances of Mr. Hyunh's separation from his daughter)
Other dark episodes include:
•Ren & Stimpy- The episode when Stimpy loses his fart friend
•Rugrats- Chucky has a pet insect and him dealing with its death
The Rugrats episode is like Copycat before Copycat, You know, the Bluey episode!
The Dan Schneider shows are even darker than we realized
You're right, especially with what we know now.
In my perspective I think survival of the hottest of victorious is dark. Knowing that everyone but cat are stuck in the hotbox ready to accept their burning death is dark. There are 2 parties to blame. 1. The big RV that parked beside beck's without stopping to check, 2. Cat for getting distracted by cute guys
I keep forgetting Josh is Done episode is dark because it was mostly sad to me.
Drake deserved all the misfortune and then some.
It's definitely unnerving because Josh is the most energetic and nicest character in the show so for someone like that to tell you that he's done to your face, you REALLY messed up
@@waheedabdullah6371 Well,Drake did have it coming.

"IM NOT TOMMY WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" One the funniest moments in the rugrats history
The Rugrats episode, that I was scared of when I was younger, was when Angelica thought that she was having a younger brother and the baby looked like a gangster mob - type especially the voice
I need the Cartoon Network version of this.
They have one, but i forgot if it was a top 10 or 20
The one constant in The Fairly Oddparents is that nearly all of Timmy's wishes(big,small,selfish,or generous) backfire in an epic way. It's almost like it's on purpose.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Master Splinter dying not once but twice was hard, especially the first one😢

I’m not sure that that iCarly episode should be on the list because it appears that stalking was being treated in a humorous light.
I think that makes it even worst
Remember when Ginger’s appendix burst directly after her break-up with Darren?
That might be even darker than most adult shows.
Raggedy Android makes sense when you realize Rob Renzetti is a fan of horror. Even he almost made a third Raggedy Android episode where it tries to drown Brad but was scrapped.
If that episode ever made it to airing, there would've been a lot of angry letters sent to Nickelodeon. Thank God that never happened.

Drake should’ve done something really nice for Josh and say something like “I felt really terrible about what happened and it made me realize how selfish I’ve been all these years”
The apology was enough in my opinion. Sometimes that's all that's needed.
@ Well sometimes it takes more than words
Hmmm I wonder which actor deserves an apology in real life…not Josh peck of course but drake bell does
I still say that Splinter being killed on screen in TMNT 2012 series was still the darkest moment for a Nickolodian show.
Hey Arnold episode where Sid thinks Stinky is a vampire haunted me.
Did it ever occur to Sid that Stinky was in broad daylight since episode 1. I think Sid needs that school psychologist more than Helga.
Cartoons were never 100% sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Ok, but Victorious literally showed a murder attempt on Trina.

Chuckie’s Wonderful Life basically happened because of what Angelica said. I know she was always a little b; but those were some terrible things to say, even for her.
11:03
Carly…, I know you’re in there…
The scary episodes of Hey Arnold like Ghost Bride are some of my favorites.
I would love another Hey Arnold movie
titled something like:
*Grow Up, Oskar!*
It’s tough since the original actor passed away,
But the story of Oskar dealing with Suzie leaving him,
deciding he has to change before it’s too late, and finding something to care about, would be a great story if done well.
Susie left Oscar offscreen in The Jungle Movie.

There's also perhaps the episode of The Wild Thornberrys where Eliza goes into the supposedly haunted forest. Even without the creepy final shot of the episode and foreboding atmosphere, the real life wilds of Africa are scary and dangerous as they are.
And what about the Jimmy Neutron special "Win, Lose, & Kaboom"? There were so many unknown dangers the heroes had to face, combined with the fact that any team that lost or resisted would get their home planets destroyed, like countless others before.
And one final mention of Spongebob Squarepants could be the episode "To Save a Squirrel". While it may have started out as comical or eventually irritating due to Patrick's incompetence, it eventually became sort of disturbing due to the fact that Spongebob and Patrick became hungry and paranoid enough to eat each other or Sandy (despite her deserving a comeuppance and "survival of the fittest" be damned).
The episode where Squidward kills himself should be on here
“Are you afraid of going in the water? Well this episode is guaranteed to make it worse.” No, it’s legitimately THE REASON I’ve been afraid of water since I was a kid 😂 Dead Man’s Float messed me up baaaad lolol

Ms. Mojo can you post Top 100 Best Childhood Preschool Shows
5:23 i sense Azula within the force
Hey MsMojo, if you ever do the best animated movies of this year. I already have a list for it.
so no one talks about the fact that curly/curlie was not only left alone in the crypt but the actual ghost bride apeared as well
13:07 i almost spit out my drink at the airport 😂😂😂😂
I personally felt it was good that Josh finally put his foot down in "Josh is Done." After all, the fact that Drake is annoyingly stupid and highly selfish and inconsiderate, Josh deserved to finally have some joy and good things happen to him, especially considering the fact how much stress and even misery Drake and Megan cause him on a regular basis. Perhaps it might have worked out if Josh had never even become family with the Parkers?
I would say Josh is done isn't dadk but more so serious
Yeah, and you misspelled dark
fun fact the actress who plays Nora is married to the man who plays Lewbert Jeremy Rowley
That "Are you afraid of the dark" episode scared the hell out of me as child, I hadn't seen it since I was like 8 in 1999, so that was a weird flashback 😂
ATLA bloodbending definitely came to mind when I saw this list, no surprise it's number one
I'm gonna give you guys not only a dark butt also most hated/worst nickelodeon episode ever to air on nickelodeon no such luck the loud house It starts off with Lincoln, telling us that he doesn't get much free time Then he bumps into Lynn Making him go to her football game in which she loses and she blames it on him calling him bad luck Lincoln goes along with his bad luck to get out of all of his sister's activities. But as the episode goes on, they begin to reject him It even gets to the point where they make him sleep outside But towards the end of the episode, he tries and proves he isn't bad luck But as the episode ends, he is still wearing the suit Hes wearing at the game at the beach This episode Was to suppose to represents how you shouldn't miss out on your family things Instead, it represented child abuse And neglect. This episode got so much hate from critics Including me I'm surprised they haven't removed. The episode from the airwaves never to be seen again
Josh is Done in Drake and Josh was good. Josh cutting out Drake in his life is better because all the trouble and blame Josh has gotten into…there is a line that had to be crossed
The clip of the ayaotd in 4:54 that has a sad ending is really the tale of the super specs, not the tale of the dark music.
If I was Josh, I wouldn't have forgiven Drake, if my brother made me miss a really important test/exam just because he wanted to meet up with a girl, I wouldn't let that go and never forgive him or at least not so quickly.
Yea the chocolate boy episode was very disturbing
Jenny’s exo-suit is like Spider-man and the alien symbiote.
That episode of Invader Zim actually had supposedly led to a student committing murder and they said the episode might've influenced him in the murders while they tried to deny that.
11:36-12:28 I read this crossover comic between LOK and sonic the hedgehog and our favorite blue blur shows the last avatar that it’s better to start appreciating than expecting
The darkest parts of Nickelodeon were the fucking foot jokes, sexual references, and the fact that the younger cast members were being abused.
I absolutely LOVE the Puppetmaster!! The best Darkest Episode.
I think this is the first time I ever saw Mr Meaty be mentioned on any of the WatchMojo channels
Darkest nickelodeon ep......quiet on set. Ik it's a max original and it's a special documentary but it guest star all nick complaining about Dan Schneider so I have to count it
The example of the not so happy ending on the are you afraid of the dark episode is right on... But the clip that you showed is not hahaha
I expected one course meal to be the top pick
there was two nick episode that give chills that are not on this list crazy ponnie and that episode where doug where patty gets a eating disorder
It feels illegal in this early
Top 20 Darkest Cartoon Network Episodes
I like Nickelodeon a little more than Cartoon Network but there’s so many more Nick episodes that scared me than CN.
Seeing the Puppet master from ATLA made me think that she may have also taught blood bending to Yakkone's future mother(or father) who invented the psychic technique used in LOK by both him and his son Amon
Dark harvest!
That is one of my fave invader zim episodes...invader zim might be dark for a kuds show but i loved it and i still watch it
5:10 My Life As A Teenage Robot did Substance before Substance did Substance.
Why you showing clips of ‘Mega Diaper Babies’ when introducing ‘Angelica’s Worst Nightmare’? I know they are both part of the same overall episode but the stories are not connected at all.
My name is Ben Page and I am finally finishing up my script bringing back live action movies and live action tv shows into animation for a computer animated movie tv show crossover origin story in 2026
3:32 when I saw this episode the first time I went in my brain going like what in the living 🦆 was Butch Hartman thinking. If you don't know who's Butch Hartman he is the creator of the fairly OddParents Danny phantom and a few animated TV shows on Nickelodeon. I like his shows but him as a person I don't he gives me again creep vibes
Butch Hartman actually does regret that episode.
It’s a wishful life wasn’t only dark, it was also infuriating, you’re basically telling kids to be grateful for the people around them who might be fully ungrateful with their own lives, acting unappreciative for even the kindest deeds even a random stranger might do for them
Worst part was when Jorgen literally had the audacity to show Timmy that life would’ve been better if he was never born…that’s not even dark, that’s just fucked up and mentally dehumanizing, shame on Butch for even making that episode
I get doing good things just for attention is not a good thing(that I can agree on, with TikTok clips being a prime example), but this episode could’ve been executed with much more actual care and effort with executing their childhood, it’s almost like you’re telling kids that they’re a burden to people’s lives
Rugrat’s did a better job of their version of the classic movie(pretty sad, but well done), people should be reminded that they are loved, not a burden
I'm not a big Avatar watcher, but the BLOOD BENDING EPISODE, YES 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mr Meaty was pure nightmare fuel 😂😂 tell me I'm wrong 😂
Danny Phantom 👻 👻 The Ultimate Enemy & ICARLY IPhysco 🖥 👩👱♀️👦 Really Scared 😱 😨 Me
Oh god! That is so dark!
Now we need Disney channel Darkest episodes top.
I actually also expected the last episode of ATLA when Azula went crazy
21:06 More gut ranching than ren and stimpy that's for sure!
Man, I love SpongeBob!
Josh is done. I remember that episode.
I hated A Wishful Life SO F***ing MUCH!! I can’t believe Nickelodeon produced such a HORRIBLE mean spirited episode like this!
They repeated it with "Hey Arnold" and both episodes ruined the movie.
I and Nicktendo feel like it could've worked if Jorgen made it up since it's in-character for him to torture people like this.
