There’s actually a very wholesome story around the Sesame Street Wicked Witch episode.
After the episode got pulled, Mr. Rogers invited Margaret Hamilton onto his show and dedicated a whole episode to him showing young children that she only played a witch and was in reality a very nice woman.
Mr. Rogers is the goat fr. I love him.
She was also the one of the few cast members who was very nice to Judy Garland on the set of the Wizard of Oz.
@@morganguest1343 crazy how the villain happens to be the nicest person
Caillou writers really never sat down and said "hey, did we make this kid too much of a dick?"
Get what he wants most of the time too. What was up with that
Seeing as the point of those episodes was that these are things NOT to do, I think the censors actually just need to watch and absorb the episodes themselves, maybe talk with their mommies and daddies about them, because evidently they're failing to grasp what's intended for 5 year olds.
It's quite puzzling when you compare it to the surprisingly high quality puppet segments from Season 1.
12:10 funny enough what he did in the book was 20x worse
Meanwhile Horrid Henry isn't even THAT bad half of the time but still gets punished for everything by his parents lol
From this list it seems like there's only four reasons episodes get banned: 9/11, Covid, racism, and Lance Armstrong
don’t forget homophobia
Don't forget WW2.
Or religion
Or the Silver Spooner being too similar to the Silver Surfer.
Or epilepsy
I like how 50% of the episodes are just, "There's an explosion/building falling down, reminds people of 9/11." Like seriously, take a shot for whenever 9/11 is brought up
Post 9/11 censorship in general is a wild rabbit hole...
Just look at the list of songs they weren't allowed to play on the radio...
Basically Anything critical of the government was forbidden,
You kind of had to be alive and American to really get the post 9/11 hysteria. A lot of Americans have fallen for the trap that we're the Invincible, Eternal Empire and some dudes from "Backwards, Backwater Counties that haven't even entered the 21st century" slammed some 747s into two landmarks in New York. That would be like Sentinelese dropping a nuke on a Paris or London right now.
@@roughrambo1000000 Yes, and those people were stupid. I was a teenager when it happened and I thought removing episodes even vaguely reminiscent of the event was an overreach.
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936ur last sentence nailed it why the Patriot Act passed. Any criticism of the USA and Iraq war and you were a terrorist. Sadly, nothing changes. Any criticism of the wars today and you are either a Russian spy, anti-semite, etc etc....
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936Ah yes, the most critical of all Beatles songs against the US government, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (I read the list, and this was on it but not Revolution or Back In The USSR which literally starts with plane sounds)
I find it funny how despite being a bit more popular in Britain than here in America, Pingu had multiple episodes that were censored to Hell and back.
Pingu was scared of The Walrus! Oh my god BBC had pulled this episode off from UK! I am not even from the UK!
I watched it religiously as a kid and never thought twice about most episodes 😂
@@benamisai-kham5892 exactly
@@Pr0vidence555 what channel?
@@Pr0vidence555 sorry
Aurthur writers got a real hard-on for Lance Armstrong, damn
Yeah, what's up with that 😅
Surprised to not see any Ren and Stimpy episodes, specifically man's best friend
I kept waiting for that one!
wtf they banned the caillou episode about death? the ONE episode that tried to teach something other than "be a loud little shit and you'll get everything"?
Wow, these peeps have the wrong priorities
Well, death is a very heavy subject, especially for a kids show.
@@hannahmartin9705 Yeah but Mr Rogers did it and so did Sesame Street, why wouldn't Caillou be allowed to do it too?
@@SammyRenard Good question
I have seen these episodes without any effort. Even not knowing there are banned else where.
I also remembering the "pitching lil sister"scene and wondering:
...Why Tofuk he do this?
He gave the explanation to his father and somehow it's worse....
His brain is smaller than a rock. U understand why....
Just wait until the people deciding to ban this episode sees what the internet have done to Caillou. Let's say that he got grounded for a million years.
Banning an episode of a cartoon for "mocking representations of the founding fathers" is one of the most ironic things ever, considering the founding fathers instilled the right to freedom of speech and expression the USA is so well known for. I'd argue banning the episode is more of an afront to them than any mockery could ever be.
Look up the list of banned songs they weren't allowed to play on the radio too...
The funny part was, that episode actually inspired little 5 year old me to ask my dad all sorts of questions about our Founding Fathers. Which lead to me being able to name every president and every state by the time I finished kindergarten.
@@ChrisSuperDude Batman couldn't have gotten that out of me.
go to a baseball game this summer and sit during the anthem and see if you really have free speech
like I deadass show up only after the anthem because I don't wanna fight a Karen
I gotta give you a ton of credit for just getting to it. Drives me nuts when other youtubers want to flex their creative writing by making these really pompous opening narrations. They don't need it. We're talking Iceberg lists, not submitting a dissertation.
Amen
I'm gonna be honest half of this should never have been banned
None of it
But isn’t the PPG episode on Netflix?
@@rope7741well yes the sambo faced black caricatures definitely should’ve been banned
@@rope7741 No, there are just a tiny few I think should be banned.
Tom and Jerry wasn't technically for kids, same with the Donald Duck one. And on that note, it does not depict Donald as a Nazi, it depicts him as a German citizen forced to work under the Nazi rule, and it's all a dream anyways. One of those things where people only see part of the thing and then freak out or give inaccurate descriptions.
That's how it goes, since it became popular with kids, it's become linked with it.
Pingu, Arthur, Pokemon, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, Mickey Mouse, and Calliou definitely have the most pulled episodes
That Cow and Chicken episode had a 'chewing carpet' joke, so I'm pretty sure the lesbian thing was intentional lol
I remember seeing "One Beer" from Tiny Toons on TV in the early 90s after school. It was definitely unique.
Theres only one beer left, rappers screaming in our ears like were deaf.
Damn I remember seeing that one Arthur episode where that lady gets cancer. It was a pretty heavy episode not gonna lie,one of my favorites as a kid
I swear, almost all the 'unaired' or 'banned' episodes from Cartoon Network shows were on Charter/Spectrum 'ON DEMAND' service in like mid-late 2000s.
On a home media release of "der fuehrer's face" Disney included three other widely banned WW2 propaganda shorts. "Education for death," "Reason and Emotion" and "Chicken Little" are all amazing and disturbing in their own ways, and absolutely worth checking out.
I hate how the episode of Arthur "The Shore thing" was banned cause it's the episode that was paired with it's fault "It's a No-Brainer" for having a noose drawing. Shore thing was one of my favorite episodes!
Parliamentary democracy is iliberal
You have to think how absolutely offensive nooses are to white progressives.
Are they hating the lgbt?
NOOSE-PAPER!
I remember the edited version of Beauty and the Beach being a huge deal. There were commercials and everything promoting it as "the lost episode". Definitely a core memory for me
Yeah the version I ended up seeing was English dubbed. But then someone edited in the Japanese part so you could see the clear line between the dub and the censored bit. I didn't see the dubbed version when it originally aired. But on the edited version I saw, people left comments along the lines of "SO THAT'S WHY THE COMMERCIAL BREAK WAS SO LONG."
I remember being so mad as a kid in 2004ish after finding out about both that episode and the safari zone one (plus Porygon) because I wanted to add them to my pokemon VHS tape collection! I watched them later as an adult in Japanese with subs but man was it upsetting as a kid 😂 I wanted the continuity!
@@benamisai-kham5892 There was an old website called Pokemopolis that had episode summaries, even of the banned episodes, and they referred to Meowth in the Safari Zone episode as NYPD Meowth, like the show, NYPD Blue.
im noticing a theme of racism, gay people or real life atrocities being like 80% of the reasons any episode gets banned
isn't it sad we're put on the same level of racism and atrocities
The Caillou and Arthur ones, and a few of the others, really are "this one was banned because it was trying to teach a positive message and to do so they necessarily had to show the negative behaviour as an example of what not to do" which suggests the censors may need to watch the episodes themselves, because evidently their ability to understand them is less than the target audiences of the respective shows. And seeing as the audience of Caillou is, like, 4, that's rather pathetic.
The writer said that the rug munching joke was unintentional?!?!?!
Yeah, I'm calling cap on that one.
I’m only 8 minutes in but I can not believe two episodes of Dexter’s lab were banned but none of them are the time travel episode where Dexter gets flogged. Did I make that up? Either way traumatizing
No, that really happened. It was in the TV movie: "Ego Trip"
43:26 NAHH THE SWASTIKA EYES THEN THE SWASTIWEED GOT ME ROLLING 😭😭😭
It should be noted there were other major attacks in the US prior to 9.11 which could've been the reason for "Flying Dupes" to be banned. Two notable ones being The World Trade Center Bombing in February 1993, and The Oklahoma City Bombing in April 1995, both occured after "Flying Dupes" first aired in 1991. In fact, an episode of Sonic the Hedgehog, "Mass Transit Trouble," was banned temporarily after the Oklahoma City Bombing, then reaired until it was banned again after 9.11.
Edit: the Sonic ep got mentioned, so nvm I guess
I work with kids and 90% of the caillou episodes are how kids that age really act. When calliou yells at his friend, my kids do that to each other every day! They are learning to regulate their emotions and sometimes they will hurt their friends feelings but they learn from the emotions they see ‼️ There are kids that pinch, hit and push their friends or siblings, I think seeing that on tv with an easy to understand resolution could be a good thing!
See, this is why I never quite got the hate for Caillou. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I explicitly remember the lessons in a lot of episodes being "don't act like Caillou".
One Beer is a parody. They literally point that out at the end. The writers were forced to make a PSA episode against their will so they made it as boring, hamfisted, and stupid as possible.
19:53
The funniest thing is that this is the only episode of this production that I remember, mainly the scene when he pees on the floor
Sometimes I wonder how are kids gonna potentially know how to deal with death, bullying or traumatic events if they're never allowed to be exposed to it in a safe manner like cartoons. Sadly a lot of kids experience that way too early in their life and are left with big emotions even adults don't know how to handle most of the time.
4:12 about ESP, most of the effect the episode had was probably mass hysteria. The seizures, no, but a lot of the headaches started being reported after the episode and during the news coverage. It's like when someone mentions having a headache, then you start having a headache.
That final Mickey Mouse entry just Brough back so many memories. When I went to my grandma's house, she had a collection of VHS tapes, one of which had a collection of old Mickey Mouse shorts, one of which being The Mad Doctor. I remember young me crying about it because I felt so bad for Pluto and Mickey, and I feel like the plot structure has even influenced some of my nightmares, in a weird way. I have "anxiety dreams" where I have to complete some kind of urgent task but I keep getting pulled away from the main task, either physically or getting distracted by other problems. Hell, it's probably influenced my morbid fascination/ fear of body horror. That image of Pluto on the operating table does go kind of hard though
There were two episodes of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody that were banned after their original airing, and aren't on Disney+. The first one was the Season 1 episode that introduced the recurring character of Bob. That one was banned because it was seen as a harmful depiction of dyslexia. The other one was a Season 3 episode that guest starred Chris Brown. That episode was banned after it was revealed that he beat his then-girlfriend pop star Rhianna up.
Other Disney Channel examples include one episode from both So Random and Shake It Up being censored for making jokes about eating disorders, the Hannah Montana episode where Oliver was revealed to have diabetes getting banned because its handling of the topic was seen as problematic, and the Jessie episode that was censored because the main character basically bully a lactose intolerant kid.
Huh, so the harmful depiction of Dyslexia is banned, yet the Girl Meets World episode where Autism is talked about like a life-threatening disease is still on Disney+.
Interesting.
@@TheGoldfishArmy They also had an episode that blatantly state that atheists are wrong for not believing in God, an episode about how communism was bad and capitalism was better, and an entire recurring storyline that basically says that age-gap relationships are totally ok as long as the minor is the one pursuing the grown-up.
This show started airing a couple of years after I stopped watching Disney Channel, so most of what I know is based off a video I watched about it. Somehow, Disney was absolutely ok with all this but was considerably harsher with these older programs.
@@KamenSentaiMetalHero Yeah, there was a lot of questionable shit in that show. The communism episode in particular is just baffling to me.
@@KamenSentaiMetalHeroWhich show? Girl Meets World?
I wish Chris Brown had been cancelled irl
Man the banned/cursed kid‘s shows episodes is one of my fave rabbitholes to go down idek why 😂 (you‘re my fave iceberg creator, keep up the good work!)
Genuinely surprised with how many Pingu episodes were on here Pingu's Dream or whatever it's called wasn't on here. I started rewatching this show when I was like 11 and that episode disturbed me. Like not only is the walrus horrifying, it also actively is the villain, not just like some unfortunately designed side character or anything
Why is this an iceberg? The tiers don't seem to have any effect on the severity of the content or rarity of the episodes discussed. Some earlier tier episodes are way more mature or hard to find than some episodes in later tiers.
Also, just a personal thing, but I think it would've made the video more succinct to mention all the episodes of a single show together rather than spread apart, was honestly getting annoying hearing about Pingu or Caillou every second clip between the more interesting banned episodes.
Man, 9/11 really messed up not only cartoons but any show, series, movie or otherwise depicting bombs, towers, flying and so on. Rough but understandable.
I'm surprised "Dad Baby" isn't on this iceberg.
Btw, I'm constructing a Disturbing Music Videos Iceberg for you to cover, Sourcebrew.
The sky needs to include Michael Jackson's Thriller, since it was what I call the 'father of disturbing music videos', as the King of Pop called John Landis and Rick Baker after watching An American Werewolf in London, and told them "Turn me into a monster!". James Rolfe, known for the character The Angry Video Game Nerd admitted MJ was absolutely terrifying in the music video during his tribute to the artist shortly after his passing(it's no longer on RUclips, and I only saw a reupload of the video once, and had completely vanished two years later). Skinny Puppy's music videos such as Worlock, Spasmolytic, and Testure were fucked up, as the former and latter include graphic imagery and gore(Testure having actual footage of animal experimentation). So they need to be on there, especially Evanescence's Going Under, Marilyn Manson's The Beautiful People, Nine Inch Nails' Closer and The Perfect Drug, TOOL's Prison Sex, and KoRn's A.D.I.D.A.S' music videos.
@@masterseal0418 Thriller isn't on there, and only because there's a more disturbing Michael Jackson music video. Same for Closer and Prison Sex.
I have Going Under on the iceberg.
And as for The Beautiful People, thanks for the recommendation. I will have that on there instead of Sweet Dreams.
Windowlicker has to be on there
Is "land of confusion" by Genesis on the list cause I love the song but it used to freak me out so bad😵💫
@@TheTisticTastyFrootloop Yes it is.
Best Genesis song ever btw
Everyone keeps saying Rude Removal never aired but I have explicit memories of seeing it as a kid on TV
This is what I'm saying. I'm certain I saw it with my nephew and we were cracking up.
I wish all RUclips videos were like this no bs just straight to the point
Not so fun fact: in the original books Caillou bites Rosie
Boutta eat some pizza while I watch this perfect
comments like this are so pure. im in love with you
@@LittleUnido you love me? 🥺
@@decodescowlingg yes let's start a poly relationship with migo, my love cannot be confined to one individual
Living your best bro good for you 🙏🏽
Mmm yummeh
The Cow and Chicken “the lesbian undertones were never intentional”, MY ASS!! THERES A SCENE WHERE A BUNCH OF BUTCH WOMEN ARE LITERALLY EATING A CARPET
It was very popular to throw in sex jokes into kids cartoons in the 90s, because they knew it was going to go over kid’s heads. Just own up to it
People talk about that tom and Jerry episode, but not the one where he gets beheaded.
I can’t believe Nickelodeon banned Mid-Life Crustacean, I Love That episode, I’ve been watching it for Years!😭❤️📺🎶👍🏻
I grew up playing epic Mickey and was always terrified of the scene where Mickey is about to have his heart pulled out by a toilet plunger, as comedic as it is. I can only imagine how I would feel to see the original cartoon of the Mad Doctor as a kid.
I know there's at least one Bug Bunny cartoon WWII about the Japanese that's also essentially banned alongside the Censored Eleven, and I'm surprised it didn't come up here.
It's been 26 years since the Pikachu seizure incident can we please bring Porygon back into the anime now???
dawg u said "shout out to my gooners out there" LMFAOOOO i was writing an essay during this and it made me stop for a sec
I actually watched “The Great MacGrady” on a streaming service between 2013 and 2016. It wasn’t censored at all, but I’m not too sure what service it was. I think it may have been Netflix.
What can i say, i see SourceBrew notification. I click 👌
Sweet, thanks for covering this Source.
You know that Witch on Sesame Street episode, the witch is played by Margaret Hamilton who played the wicked witch in the "The Wizard of Oz". She must have made a deal with PBS in the 70's because she is also on an episode of Mister Rogers where she appears in and out of costume and explains that the costume is pretend and that she is actually a really nice person.
I've been watching you since less than 10K subs. Keep up the amazing work.
18:27 Art thou feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
woah Hitler appearing in that Spiderman & Friends cartoon is a gutsy move I did not expect it at all.
Nice timing. Listening to this while I get ready for an interview 👍🏽
How did your interview go and what type of job was it for?
@@jonbourgoin182 went pretty well they said they'll get back to me by Friday hopefully and just customer service at Safeway or wherever they need me
14:00
I'm sure some conspiracy theorists are going nuts right now when they hear one of the episodes banned was litterally called 'inside job'
A crazy thing about all of these banned episodes is that despite some of them being clearly not ok, I remember watching pretty much all of these in the average TV syndication runs in Latin America. I even remember seeing The Isle of Pingo Pongo and All that and Rabbit Stew in TV, though only once, many others remember this.
Despite this we had some weirder censorship like removing the part where Finn takes off his shirt while bathing in a fountain in "No One Can Hear You" Not the subsequent parts where he's shirtless, just him removing it.
Lmao I had a DVD collection of Looney Tunes episodes with All This And Rabbit Stew on it as a kid. “Well hush mah mouth-rabbit tracks!”
Also I swear my library had a Postcards from Buster DVD that had the Maple Syrup episode on it... Part of me wonders if maybe since it was just the 'Wow that's a lot of mom's' comment, if they made a censored version of the episode
so basically it all boils down to: 9/11 adjacent events/tragedies, racism, guns, some about sickness, some about gay people, some that were because of sexual themes, lance armstrong for some reason?? and obviously some relating to ww2 and hitler... and some that arent even really that bad but were just uncomfortable/scary/bad examples for kids (also some that were actually physically harmful in the case of the epileptic ones)
gotta be honest i genuinely dont even know why some of these were even made. also why they didnt just replace the flashing in the porygon episode with something else instead of banning it altogether, ive always wondered that
They should have banned all of caillou at that point lol
Love the iceberg videos 👍🏼
Another great video man
Once again, I'm baffled by the fact that the TMNT 2003 series did not even SLIGHTLY appear on an iceberg of such context.
It was such a dark series at one point that not only it had a banned episode due to gore ("Insane in the Membrane") but also had an ENTIRE SEASON removed from broadcast for being too dark.
Oh, and don't get me started on "Nightmares Recycled", that shit has a lost episode creepypasta type beat but it's 100% real (or at least, conceptually).
I enjoyed this video! Great work!
weirdly I remember having the Tentacruel episode on VHS. i loved it bc of horsea.
12:07 I remembered Watching This Episode of Tom and Jerry when I was a just a Kid, I had a DVD of the Tom & Jerry Episodes back then, I was very confused at that time behind the Context of this Episode, as I grew older, now an Adult, This episode has a lot of Themes such as Alcoholism and Depression, and as a Person that sometimes had Mental Breakdowns, this Hit me home, We need to seek help before its too late, and try new things that can help you improve your lifestyle.
I saw the Gargoyles episode as a kid (I watched Gargoyles close to the time it was first airing, but I don't remember blood in this episode so I must have only seen it after the edits) and it's one that stuck with me growing up. I think it was a really effective way of doing an episode with a message like that.
Great video keep up the good work
Oh, I remember the Barbequer episode now. I loved it, both because "Dial-M for Monkey" and because of the references (though mainly the Pac-Man reference).
Lemme be honest, I definitely feel like I remember catching the episode of Mr. Ratburn's Marriage
Well done Sourcebrew. I can remember the Rocky and Bullwinkle one. ❤
Just found this channel. Love it 💯
I have two examples of banned episodes
The original 90’s dub of sailor moon was censored to hell and back with multiple episodes not getting a proper English release until VIZ got the English rights for sailor moon
And the Italian series winx club had a banned episode called “miss magix” where the character of Stella enters a beauty pageant with one of the other contestants being a black girl who later in the episode is seen crying because of her hair being turned into an Afro with it kinda implying that natural poc hair textures aren’t beautiful but this episode hasn’t really been released after 2020 with the 4kids dub of the episode changing it so her voice was high pitched and the Nickelodeon dub just removing this episode aswell as other season one episodes in their re-animated recap specials
during the Mister Skinnylegs (Peppa Pig spider episode) segment you got a word wrong: "(Australian spiders) can be poisonous". they're venomous, not (necessarily) poisonous, and getting bit by them is the real danger. to be fair, both venomous spiders and poisonous spiders would be dangerous to small children because small children eat everything.
Funnily enough I think the infamous Tom & Jerry episode was never banned here in Poland, maybe in other places of Europe too. I've seen it several times as a kid (growing up in the early 2000s)
The pingu peeing episode supposedly was banned too but I saw it on TV 100%. Definitely didn't imagine it, it's one of two Pingu episodes I actually saw as a kid since I didn't tend to watch the channel it aired on often (later I became a huge Pingu fan lol). While peeing is probably partly the reason why it got banned, a lot of people thought him drinking a ton of juice/soda before needing to use the toilet was an allegory for drinking alcohol, which is a stretch. Likewise I 100% saw the one at the doctors.
The first kiss Pingu episode being banned is hilarious considering that he "kisses" Robby at some point in the cartoon, who is his friend seal and who is a boy lol
W video, keep it up bro
Hell yeah some new Sourcebrew
One thing I learned from this video is that Caillou got grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded
That Rude Removal episode of Dexter's Lab did have it's uncensored version either released or leaked. I just found it on RUclips. If it's a fake it's a pretty convincing one
i love these kinds of videos!!!
I second that
I haven't seen the video, but I wonder if the obscure show Monica's Gang will be mentioned. One episode was taken off of RUclips because one frame showed someone's naughty bits uncensored. It's a Brazilian show, so nudity isn't as taboo there, but it's interesting.
Edit: nope
great video!
That Tom and Jerry episode...the theme is not uncommon for the time. A lot of old cartoons had suicide jokes or plot points at that stage. I vividly remember an episode of Top Cat where both TC and Officer Dibble stand (at separate times) on a bridge with a boulder tied around each of their waists. Both look down, sniff, and sadly say "goodbye, cruel world". That show is from 1961 (i watched reruns in the nineties)
The guns episode of Pokemon would also be inconsistent with the lore of the Pokemon multiverse in general, because artificial weapons generally don't exist because of Pokemon. When you can make friends with a living flamethrower, why do you need a gun?
Also the fact that there are other episodes that also have guns and aren't banned...
like the Squirtle Squad episode
Plenty of weapons exist in Pokemon media lol, nothing inconsistent about the anime showing guns. There are also plenty of episodes of the anime that showed guns yet weren't banned.
Fun fact: this iceberg itself was banned from the Arctic
Sourcebrew drops an iceberg out of nowhere. Subscription jumpscare.
22:14 glad no one played Sonic adventure at that time
I vividly remember being shown all of the ww2 era disney cartoons in class by my 5th grade teacher (2010ish). 10 year old me was fascinated by them. The one I remember the most is Education for Death. But I remember the Donald duck ones just as well. I understand why they were banned - my teacher didn't just show them for fun; she wanted to teach us about how propaganda worked and how racism (especially against the japanese) was used to get people to support the war effort. That was one of my favorite days in class.
I've seen other ones that she didn't show us - mostly looney tunes ones that would probably have been a bit more controversial to be shown to 5th graders.
When Pokemon aired Porygon Seizure Episode I was so depressed and sad about those Japanese kids who watched Pokemon seizure episode! I am glad that banned episode is not there on English Dub!
I saw the banned episode on RUclips when i was 6 or 7 and i only watched the first half and clicked on a different video because i got bored. I didn't realize it was banned and i saved myself from suffering seizure.
bro i had the pingu dvd and the episode where he ran really scared me when i was younger it instilled lots of fear
Getting the tanker theme in the beginning I just know this is gonna hit
just wanted to say thanks for constantly making icebergs that appeal specifically to my niche interests. fr tho your content rules
I can't help but wonder if less of the shows I grew up watching cut episodes for showing the harmful side of drug abuse if more of my friends would still be alive today.
The reason why Pikachu was able to take on the Tentacools and Tentacruels in the banned Tentacruel Episode is because electric is super-effective against water.
Pingu is my favorite kids animated tv show of all time it was in my top along with other shows i was obsessed with, and as i got older i was genuinely surprised by just how many episodes of the early seasons of the series were banned from TV channels across the globe. Some were banned for good and understandable reasons but some like Pingu failing to pee on the toilet and the russian sign controversy were honestly pretty hilarious reasons for people to go ballistic and demand the complete removal of these episodes of television.
I wasnt aware these episodes were banned because i watched the show on VHS and in other forms of physical media.
Side note: i do think one of the episodes that warranted its ban was the infamous Walrus episode, that thing still startles me to this day.
I remember there being an episode of Thomas and Friends called “Henry Spots Trouble”. If I remember correctly, that episode was banned from Australia (I think) mainly because of it depicting Chicken Pox.
can you make a video of the alternate history timelines iceberg? it is a pretty cool iceberg that explores unique world settings and stories
