Fun Fact, the Odd Squad and Kids Next Door are both considered canon Sub Office Organizations in the SCP universe, with the Odd Squad being made to handle Memetic Hazards and Reality Bending Entities, which is why they always seem like they are on acid, and use various basic math and science questions to keep their sanity, and the KND being a group that tries to prevent normal people from using Anomalous items by using their own Patented and anomalous 2X4 Technology, as well as keep the world from learning about such anomalies by making everyone think the kids are just very imaginative and erasing their operatives minds when they get too old to hide secrets, and it's not too far off considering the SCP Foundation isn't against hiring children if they have to, Also, another show that operates like the SCP Foundation would be Warehouse 13, you might like it.
You know I have a personal theory that the reason that odd squad is comprised of kids it's because their kids' minds can withstand the psychological effect of dealing with Eldritch horrors better than adults
The kids are like "Haha that man's made of cheese! That's so funny! We'll fix you with math!" And adults are like "My mind is breaking, I gaze into the abyss and the abyss gazes back."
the crazy thing is, i know the actor who played Todd. He and I were in a local youth acting community. It wasnt even anything serious, anyone who signed up (and paid) got in, so its not like we were all talented. Shortly afterwards, he told us he got in a show called OddSquad, and now its insane seeing a kid i knew actually ON TV
@@Twiggo_The_Foxxo why would it necessarily be fake. Is it really impossible to…know a kid actor from a random show? like seriously it might be fake but people’s lives are allowed to be interesting lmao
Its honestly a hilarious theory that if you have an O name on your birth certificate, the odd squad just takes you away and recruites you into the squad
Anyone remember the episode where Oscar turns into a couch and Otto and Olive have to turn him back, but it's also revealed as a major plot point of the episode that Oscar apparently HYPNOTIZED CERTAIN MEMBERS WITH A SLEEPER AGENT CODE TO GIVE CLUES ON HOW TO TURN HIM BACK IF HE WAS EVER TURNED INTO A COUCH
I feel like Odd squad is just like an Academy for future SCP workers, and capturing less dangerous anomalies is just them training for what's to come, and the math is just so the kids won't get distracted from their regular schooling
Oona getting stuck in a dimension with no people just exercise equipment for 6 months before finding a way back is like Dr. Scranton getting trapped in SCP-3001 but with a happy ending.
*Deep in the annals of a hospital wing, an Odd Squad sleeper agent pulls out a walkie-talkie. They gaze upon the sleeping form of the infant in their arm as they slink out a secret exit:* “We have an Oliver.”
When I was like 8, I literally had a Odd Squadsona. My name IRL is Amelia, so obviously, my sona's name was Omelia. I'm now oddly tempted to rewatch the show and write a fic about Omelia and how she was in love with Odis because they both were former villains. Yes, that was her actual backstory my 8yo ass came up with. What the fuck is wrong with me
dude i remember when i was younger i had an odd squadsona that i shipped with odd todd ☠️ i forgot what my name was though but i think my character was a villain alongside him??
I remember as a kid I always thought the villains got off as lightly as they did because they were more “patients” instead of “criminals”. Like the inherent oddness of this world kinda just chooses random people to be conduits for it. The villains are odd in a way that entirely consumes them, their not in control of their oddness, and thus their actions, as odd squad agents are for example, which is why they try to rehabilitate them instead of jsut chucking them in jail.
My mom constantly has the tv on for her baby and one day i walked into the tv room to see the fucking mech episode I was extremely confused why there were giant robots in a show about dinosaurs but whatever, they looked cool Also i think there's time travel involved????
When I watched that show I thought, They can build a train that transports millions of years within seconds. They can come to the human era if they wanted to.
I honestly have a bit of Nostalgia for Olive and Otto. Maybe it was just something about season 1 but I did kind of miss them along with Oscar and of course the Math Room
Like 3 days ago I made up a headcanon that Odd Squad is just what the SCP Foundation personnel's kids do all day while their parents are working because there are a lot of low-level SCPs that seem to be mostly harmless for children for some inexplicable reason. Now this video is recommended. Have I been recruited?
I miss them too By the way the last time I checked the odd squad was still a running as show even miss o had returned The bad thing is that in the condition it was when I last say it it was a bit different I don’t know maybe because I drop in on the wrong time I don’t know but it seems like they were not in that SCP foundation type place honestly I didn’t even see any math in there.
Even as a person who really dislikes math, Odd Squad has a special place in my heart. I have a picture of the hydraclops I drew when I was younger on my bedroom floor somewhere, and I still think back to that season one rounding episode with the spaghetti from time to time when I need to round numbers. I also begged my mom for red converse shoes solely (hahahaha shoe pun) for the reason that they wore them in the show lol
I’ve been an SCP fan for years- my childhood friend was an SCP fan, idk how she knew it, but at a year range where I was avidly watching Odd Squad I also got into SCP. She was just like- wow SCP! I wrote a crossover. I’m not posting it. 😅
29:31 im 90% sure that Todd is just jacked, since he also lifts the shapeshifter when she's a briefcase during a trial (forgot the episode) and Todd being jacked doesn't surprise me in the slightest
Yeah, it literally made NO SENSE to me XD Olive claimed the Shapeshifter can't change her weight in that briefcase episode, so in this case, either SS upped her game a little or Odd Todd used some old gadget to lift heavy weights. I'd say the former because in Todd's debut episode, when Todd tricked Shapeshifter into turning into a dog bone, that dog agent (what's his name again?) came by, picked her up, and gave her to Todd once she surrendered. Then again, that second story was a flashback, so I'd say the whole "SS can't change her weight" thing was retconned.
I'm a teen and still enjoy watching Odd Squad. Like what many have said, this is a good kid friendly version of the SCP Foundation. I wonder how many got into that after watching this show as a kid?
There's an episode on reading calendars in season 3 I think about sometimes: Turns out Orla has been using a planner for the last 500 years, at least partly because she overheard villains in a public cafe plotting the apocalypse. She's apparently trained/planned so thoroughly that she can comfortably defeat an entire army of cosmic monsters singlehandedly if she wants to. I don't know what to do with this information, but it seems important somehow
Late but the "Mayor can't stop singing" episode brought back a founding piece of my personhood that I didn't even remember I had. Me and my sister would literally quote that episode to each other on repeat for RIDICULOUS amounts of time. I'm sure it drove our parents crazy lol
odd squad needs more recognition, I see a lot of people write it off as a “goofy show with silly jokes for kids” , that’s how you can tell they haven’t watched training day/the movie/ who is agent otis/any other plot heavy episode I forgot
Honestly even the episodes that aren't extremely plot-heavy are still (at the very least, a little) enjoyable Also yes I so very much agree that this show needs more recognition
Ok, sure, but that episode where Oona was stuck in an empty dimension with exercise equipment, slowly slipping into insanity and talking to a video recorder was literally just Scp 3001, right?
This show in non-English languages was an absolute fever dream, beyond the original kid friendly SCP foundation fever dream, like… if English OS was a 38 degree fever, non English was like a 40 degree one.
a lot of the actors in odd squad are now in really big movies/tv shows like Filip Gelijo (Agent Otto) is in Avatar way of the water as Aonung, Dalila Bela (Agent Olive) was in Anne with an E as Diana Barry, and Anna Cathcart (Agent Olympia) is staring in XO Kitty as Kitty and was Dizzy in Descendance 2-3. I'm so glad that the cast of the show I grew up with are getting the recognition they deserve.
The one person getting sent to the realm of exercise equipment made me think of my childhood OC, Jane McMane, who got trapped in the attic with exercise equipment, and when her sister finally found her she was absolutely jacked lmao.
They should’ve done a proper sendoff for Olympia and Otis also I would like to know what happened to O’Brien, because at the end of that tube episode, we literally never hear about O’Brien ever again
I am forever grateful for the existence of Odd Squad, I was (and still am) terrible at math so while being a goofy and entertaining show it actually helped me quite a bit when I was younger!
I remember that there was an episode of running when I was a doctor’s office or something, and I watched the whole thing. I remember the plot involved Olive going on some investigation that involved Shapeshifter, and there’s this point in the episode where Shapeshifter turns into a pie, causing Olive to scream in terror, to which Otto is confused by, and Olive reveals that she’s afraid of pie and that it’s an long story. I believe that the rest of the episode involves her having to touch a pie just to make sure that it’s not Shapeshifter. Then Olive shoots Ms. O at the end of the episode because she offered her a day off from work.
I’d love to see you talk about Cyberchase, it was my childhood and has surprisingly deep lore. And I’d love to see your reaction to the post episode live-action scenes lol
I don't know how what requirements she places on these lore video but every one that I have seen is about shows that have stopped making new seasons and Cyber Chase is still ongoing.
@@sociallyineptsnapper Well the ongoing thing might change due to this one major factor: the death of one of the voice actors. Gilbert Gottfried played Digit, one of the main characters.
Around 2016-ish (around the time s2 came out) I was obsessed with Odd Squad. There was just something about it that was so fun to watch. The learning wasn’t pushed to your face (for majority of the time) and it had some really fun and memorable characters and situations. I dropped out after a little time after the movie dropped, but man, was that a fun phase.
Odd Squad and Wild Kratts were my JAMS back in middle school! I did stop watching Odd Squad sometime after season 1, mainly 'cause the PBS station for our area moved it from 3pm to 5:30 or 6 am, so I had only seen up to the Odd Todd event, and by the time I caught another episode, they were well into season 2. I had assumed Olive and Otto had aged out, but was most upset with Oona replacing Oscar. I didn't know what happened to him and had a "How dare you stand where he once stood" moment with her (Oscar was and is my most favorite character, followed by Otto). I'm quite happy to learn of the OG O's send offs!
Oh my god, I had forgotten this show and you reminded me of it, violently. I was in my 20s when this came out, and I remember watching it not for the math lessons, but because it was one of the only things I'd ever seen that instilled a deep sense of fear and dread in me. I just remember the episode showing that the director was an agent back in the 80s, but she hadn't aged _at all,_ despite having lived at _least_ 30 years. This show was a nightmare, and I LOVED IT!
I remember watching this when it came out, I remember watching every episode when it was new and I in fact remember crying at Olive and Otto leaving forever. Damn I love this show even if I mostly outgrew it.
I cried too watching O is Not For Over. I miss Olive and Otto. :'( And yes, the part where Otto said, "Does this mean we're getting married?" and Olive was like, "What? NO!" got me rolling on the floor XD
"Take away one, take away one, take away one, take away one breath from me, and you take away four! Whoa! One, one, one, one baby. I'll be keeping score. There's nothing left of me, 'cause you take away four!" Yeah Soundcheck is still fire after like 8 years. I always thought they were a direct parody of One Direction. Also that Gingers Have Souls reference was just out of left field lol.
I remember 13-16 year old me watching one episode of this show daily because Pokemon was transmitting immediately after on Tooncast, so it was a good timer, but eventually I legitimately started liking the show
For being as much of a Trekkie as I am, I can't believe it took this video for me to realize the tube-operator being named "O'Brian" is most definitely a reference to Conan O'Brian who operated the transporters on
This show was my FAVORITE as a kid, I can’t lie, younger me shipped the agents together so hard. Olympia and Otis were my first otp. Also yes please make a part 2 on the iconic sound check!
I did too! I couldn’t remember why my younger self did what she did, but I rewatched it recently to figure out why and wow, those two fit like a glove, lmao
I grew up watching odd squad and playing odd squad games on the pbs kids website. I forgot it existed for a bit and this entire video was a rush of nostalgia
I lowkey thought Odd Squad was a fever dream, so I'm glad that other people had the experience of that show too! I loved this as a kid, and I still love it.
I just thought of a fun thing they could’ve thought about for this show. What if there was another organization called the Even Team? Everyone’s names could start with E and instead of investigating things that are odd They investigate things that disrupt balance and help to fix things that are naturally fair but somehow became unfair/uneven. Then there could be an episode where they both set out to solve a case that is both odd and disrupting the balance. And they first try to beat each other to solve it first due to company rivalry but eventually work together to solve it and start an alliance. 😂I can’t believe I just made a fan fic prompt out of this weird kids show.
I’d love to see you talk about such an underrated show from my childhood, called Crashbox on HBO Family (you can find this show on HBO Max too). And it’s a shame many don’t know about this show because it was very revolutionary for its time with all the different animations the show had. (The show is from 1999). The show’s concept is that your brain is asleep and that this computer filled with little robots crashes into it and is here to fill it with knowledge by crafting different games. These games can be from a narrator talking about a revolting slob and how awful his life is by teaching new English words (with him exploding at the end of every segment when she says a word that means to explode) to a skeleton pirate teaching you math with his bones and insults you when you can’t keep up. This show pushed the limits of what you could do with an educational children’s show and I just wish it got the attention it deserves
This show was past my Discovery Kids time( there is where it aired on my country) but every now and then I would catch an episode and be weirdly fascinated by it
I've always been intrigued by their partnership in that trial episode ngl I'd ship them but the age gap would make it problematic, so I'm not going to, don't worry.
I forgot about this show before this video. I used to watch it since I was forced to watch these kinds of shows when my sister was young and I really liked it. It is basically a family-friendly SCP Foundation and I love this show for that. Also if an official SCP show or movie gets made then I hope the people who did this show do that since they would be perfect and I would not be supervised if the crew were SCP fans.
Early in quarantine, the finale of season 2 was recommended to me on RUclips, and even though we hadn't followed the series for years, my sister and I watched it. We completely lost it when Otis said "i was raised by ducks," and it's still an inside joke with us. Also when he started to fly, like wtf?
I remember seeing 1 episode as a kid where one character was looking for treasure he buried as a kid but failed cause his feet were bigger so his steps were bigger so counting them didn't work, SO HE PULLED OUT THE SHOES HE WORE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER AND WAS JUST LIKE "oh yeah I carry all my shoes from when I was younger with me at all time for just this reason"
That was the hydroclops episode. It wasn’t treasure it was Oscar’s secret weapon against the hydroclops. He made a series of maps to find other maps to find the secret weapon using arbitrary things to measure distance (toy bear, candy bar, his 5 year old feet). And yes he carries around his shoe sizes from all his ages, you don’t? The secret weapon was his smelly sock btw. The hydroclops has a big nose and it didn’t like the smell. They all hid their own socks again so in 100 years when the hydroclops came back with all it’s brothers and sisters they would be prepared
god finally a youtuber is FINALLY covering Odd Squad!! I loved that show as a kid and remember watching it for hours, and i think the boss child had a juice addiction.
Also sidenote, in the Odd Suqad game on the PBS Kids website, I named my character, “Oisaac” because I thought it would kick me out of the game because my name started with an I.
Every head of a branch had a drink they were into and Ms O's was juice. When Olive starts training for her position as head, Oscar tells her she needs to pick her signature drink
Funny how these videos legitimately make me want to see these shows for myself. For the next PBS Kids show I recommend I’d go with The Electric Company, which is about these kids that have spelling and grammar based powers that they shoot out like fireballs. Later episodes later introduce a new boy with math based powers instead which is probably the key reason Odd Squad reminds me of it so much.
I legit only watched season one because i got so freakin attached to seeing ottis and olive in odd squad as a kid i couldent handle watching two other mains lmao.
THAT'S WHAT THIS SHOW IS CALLED! I used to watch it but could never remember the name, or even the premise. It was just 'that weird childhood show' for the longest time.
Man, this show was my childhood. Actually went to a camp with the actor for Ms. O. Never really talked to her, but I saw her around a couple times and she seemed nice. She was also in Wonder I believe?
Finally someone who looks at the masterpiece of odd squad! Almost no one makes odd squad content but when I was younger I loved odd squad and recently I started watching some of the episodes again and even at 16 I still enjoyEd it. I know math pretty well but apart from the math part odd squad is really entertaining to watch
I remember we watched the Odd Squad movie in my 6th grade class. It was, needless to say, the most feverish dream I've ever had. Dave still haunts my dreams.
With this tv show, I literally taught my fifth grade classmates how to do rounding. It was one of the rare times my ego was fed. (Edit: this took place when i was in fifth grade)
I never say this, but I was shocked that you don’t have more subscribers! Your videos are so engaging and fun to watch, and you’re absolutely hysterical! I thought you’d at least have 100-200k subs. I’m sure you’ll blow up in the future, so I guess im just here before you get big!!
I 100% believe that this show is the root of my love of cryptozoology and the SCP foundation. I remember watching this when I was way older than the target audience just so I could learn the world building 😅😅😅. Edit: I couldn’t help myself and watched one of the episodes on RUclips and I forgot just how ICONIC Dr. O is, an absolute girl boss and mood
This was my favorite show when I was younger, had no idea it had lore ‘till you brought it up lmao. Edit: 19:38 “having a midlife crisis at the age of 10” I relate to that, as someone who had a midlife crisis at the age of ten lmfao.
Dude I get that you can put ads in your video wherever you want but the fucking "that's why you'll get an ad here right... now!" Then the ad cuts in, then "aaaand we're back!" Bit was so perfectly timed!
I've been a fan of the scp stuff since the original 4chan post and I now have four kids with my oldest being 8. Your title alone shook me to my existential parental core.
What if Odd Squad is the future of the backrooms? What if they finally made the backrooms (or most of it) stop moving around. So the "Oddness" from the back rooms spread throughout the world. But that's just a theory, A FILM THEO-
Yay, the Odd Squad video! Been waiting on this one. :D I was 100% down the Odd Squad rabbit hole back in 2016. The little group of people we had on the wiki were really kind (mostly in their late teens), and the show and community did a lot for me at that point in my life. Fun fact: Joshua Kilimnik (the actor who played Odd Todd, about the same age as I was) was an active wiki admin and a pretty cool guy. I imagine he'd probably find the "calling a kid an asshole" joke pretty funny.
My favorite line in the entire series and perhaps all of tv is during the O games when all the characters chosen come up to the stage saying something like “#60 DR. O: 100% smart 0% silly” and finally #70 gets called and Otto is all like ‘dang I wish that was me’ and Olive tells him it IS him and he says “AGENT OTTO 100% #70 0% NOT NUMBER 70%” and that line has stuck with me for years
I was completely obsessed with Odd Squad as a kid and I literally cried when Olive and Otto were sent off, I was an extremely sentimental kid, for me Olive Otto and Oscar (and Ms. O) were my absolute favourites and while I do love Olympia and Otis (still not happy about their send off) they hold a special place on my heart. I miss the math room Justice for Carol! Oprah and O'Donahue were such great partner's and it was sad to see him levae, Olga made me so mad everytime she showed up Also Season 1 was objectively the best season.
I didn't even know there was a season 3... I remember the season 2 finale and actually believed the show ended after that. Thats pretty neat they were able to make more of such a solid pbs kids show.
I was a little too old to consistently watch PBS anymore when this show came out, BUT it was definitely the type that made you stand in the Livingroom if an episode was on when you passed by. SO weird comparing the snippets from memory to the actual lore!
my favorite was Oksanna. she was so done with everyones shit and i loved her for that. also, my sister has a big fuzzy spherical pillow that she uses as a stuffed animal and calls it her centigerp.
The entirety of Athena talking about seasons 1 and 2 was pure nostalgia for me lol- I kept going "OOO I REMEMBER THAT!!! :D" Also 17:42 has massive Danny Gonzalez energy
One of my favorite jokes in the series: Olympia: I mean we can't get eaten, there still so much left in the season. Ms. O: What? Olympia: Winter! It's my favorite season. Plus, I got a ski pass and I've barely used it.
SCP 209 “Odd squad” Object class: Keter SCP 209 is a squad filled of children investigating paranormal and “odd” things, sometimes solving them and helping people. Even finding other anomalies. It’s unknown if they created these or simply discovered unknown anomalies, man I’m too lazy to write a paragraph.
I looooove this show. It’s so creative and funny. Everyone should watch it! The costuming is especially awesome. Ive read a few interviews with the lead costume designer and she really put so much thought behind the basic uniforms and all the villain outfits.
Odd squad was such a faint memory in my childhood. I never watched beyond the second half of season 2 because me growing up and going onwards to middle school. Never really touched anymore PBS kids shows. But thanks to this video I started to continue where I left off. Maybe the show is the reason I liked math so much in elementary school and onwards. I absolutely loved Otis and Olympia, they remind me of my favorite ship trope in fanfiction, haha.

I was extremely confused why there were giant robots in a show about dinosaurs but whatever, they looked cool
Also i think there's time travel involved????
When I watched that show I thought, They can build a train that transports millions of years within seconds. They can come to the human era if they wanted to.
@@InvasionAnimation oh yeah they do, pretty sure thats the entire plot lol
Yes yes yes 😁
This was me and my sisters after school ritual. This show was crazy, hilarious, and just the right show to teach me math. P.S Oscar was the GOAT
Agreed!! I loved Oscar. I mean, he literally has his own song about him being awesome
@@cloudywillowshome Oscar is Awesome and the remix when he used sticky string-innator against the mind-controlled scientist was a vibe!
I honestly have a bit of Nostalgia for Olive and Otto. Maybe it was just something about season 1 but I did kind of miss them along with Oscar and of course the Math Room
Oscar was w mans
Oscar was amazing
Like 3 days ago I made up a headcanon that Odd Squad is just what the SCP Foundation personnel's kids do all day while their parents are working because there are a lot of low-level SCPs that seem to be mostly harmless for children for some inexplicable reason. Now this video is recommended.
Have I been recruited?
Report to the antimemetic division. This isn’t your first day.

Well, hello again, good sir!
This show was a MASTERPIECE I MISS Otto and Olive SO BADLY 😭
ME TOOO
I miss them too By the way the last time I checked the odd squad was still a running as show even miss o had returned The bad thing is that in the condition it was when I last say it it was a bit different I don’t know maybe because I drop in on the wrong time I don’t know but it seems like they were not in that SCP foundation type place honestly I didn’t even see any math in there.
YES SAME HERE AAAAAA
I remember when I first seen it I was so mad, I remember feeling as if they ripped a big piece of my heart out and took it with them😭💔
I think I stopped watching right after that happened 😢
Even as a person who really dislikes math, Odd Squad has a special place in my heart. I have a picture of the hydraclops I drew when I was younger on my bedroom floor somewhere, and I still think back to that season one rounding episode with the spaghetti from time to time when I need to round numbers. I also begged my mom for red converse shoes solely (hahahaha shoe pun) for the reason that they wore them in the show lol
Same
i still think about the rock paper scissors episode to this day
Literally me🙂🙂🙂
As someone who watch a lot of Odd Squad as a child, I have never known it was literally a SCP foundation type of show.
I, too, loved Odd Squad. And now I'm obsessed with the SCP foundation. Correlation or causation, nobody knows.
I’ve been an SCP fan for years-
my childhood friend was an SCP fan, idk how she knew it, but at a year range where I was avidly watching Odd Squad I also got into SCP. She was just like- wow SCP!
I wrote a crossover.
I’m not posting it.
😅
29:31 im 90% sure that Todd is just jacked, since he also lifts the shapeshifter when she's a briefcase during a trial (forgot the episode) and Todd being jacked doesn't surprise me in the slightest
Yeah, it literally made NO SENSE to me XD
Olive claimed the Shapeshifter can't change her weight in that briefcase episode, so in this case, either SS upped her game a little or Odd Todd used some old gadget to lift heavy weights. I'd say the former because in Todd's debut episode, when Todd tricked Shapeshifter into turning into a dog bone, that dog agent (what's his name again?) came by, picked her up, and gave her to Todd once she surrendered. Then again, that second story was a flashback, so I'd say the whole "SS can't change her weight" thing was retconned.
I'm a teen and still enjoy watching Odd Squad. Like what many have said, this is a good kid friendly version of the SCP Foundation. I wonder how many got into that after watching this show as a kid?
*raises hand*

There's an episode on reading calendars in season 3 I think about sometimes:
Turns out Orla has been using a planner for the last 500 years, at least partly because she overheard villains in a public cafe plotting the apocalypse. She's apparently trained/planned so thoroughly that she can comfortably defeat an entire army of cosmic monsters singlehandedly if she wants to. I don't know what to do with this information, but it seems important somehow
it is important, thank you good person
I watched that a while ago and it happened
Late but the "Mayor can't stop singing" episode brought back a founding piece of my personhood that I didn't even remember I had. Me and my sister would literally quote that episode to each other on repeat for RIDICULOUS amounts of time. I'm sure it drove our parents crazy lol
ME TOO
That sent me back
"RELEASE THE BEEES!!!"
Unrelated but nice (I'm assuming) oc on your pfp
RELEASE THE BEES!
*R E L E A S E T H E B E E S*
odd squad needs more recognition, I see a lot of people write it off as a “goofy show with silly jokes for kids” , that’s how you can tell they haven’t watched training day/the movie/ who is agent otis/any other plot heavy episode I forgot
Honestly even the episodes that aren't extremely plot-heavy are still (at the very least, a little) enjoyable
Also yes I so very much agree that this show needs more recognition
The movie is...
That pie nado episode changed my brain chemistry
Ok, sure, but that episode where Oona was stuck in an empty dimension with exercise equipment, slowly slipping into insanity and talking to a video recorder was literally just Scp 3001, right?
Yep. Except they don’t just kinda die. Or in another universe turns into 106.
I LOVED THAT EPISODE! Idk why
And like I said in another reply, Oona’s bad ending would’ve been her turning into a jacked nice girl or some shit! XD
This show in non-English languages was an absolute fever dream, beyond the original kid friendly SCP foundation fever dream, like… if English OS was a 38 degree fever, non English was like a 40 degree one.
I’m American is that bad?
@@ms.fukawa-hanamura3754 No. I don’t care or mind.
@@vam_ola no i mean the temperature
@@ms.fukawa-hanamura3754 40 degrees is 106 degrees Fahrenheit.
@@vam_ola O.O oh
Odd squad is really just the SCP foundation if it taught math and was kid friendly
a lot of the actors in odd squad are now in really big movies/tv shows like Filip Gelijo (Agent Otto) is in Avatar way of the water as Aonung, Dalila Bela (Agent Olive) was in Anne with an E as Diana Barry, and Anna Cathcart (Agent Olympia) is staring in XO Kitty as Kitty and was Dizzy in Descendance 2-3. I'm so glad that the cast of the show I grew up with are getting the recognition they deserve.
The one person getting sent to the realm of exercise equipment made me think of my childhood OC, Jane McMane, who got trapped in the attic with exercise equipment, and when her sister finally found her she was absolutely jacked lmao.
PHUAHHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHHAAHA omg, that's amazing!
... You my good doggo have piqued my interest-
Superhero origin story
The recognition it deserves
If Sheila could see us now
PART 2 WHEN ??
Hoping she includes the pbs kids multiverse
Cus yeah that's a thing
@@____thecommenter1569 I said the same omg!
There’s a multiverse??!
They should’ve done a proper sendoff for Olympia and Otis also I would like to know what happened to O’Brien, because at the end of that tube episode, we literally never hear about O’Brien ever again
O’Brien is my favorite background character ever. He’s so awful, someone give him a raise
Olympia and Otis were did dirty for sure.
I remember the exact moment where I saw the new odd squad and man! After watching the first two minutes with no send off I raged and cried!
Hopefully he was fired, the kid's a menace
@@shadypixel4478Right?!?!
JUST LET POOR OLIVE DO HER JOB, MAN!!!!!
I am forever grateful for the existence of Odd Squad, I was (and still am) terrible at math so while being a goofy and entertaining show it actually helped me quite a bit when I was younger!
I remember watching odd squad when I was little I do not remember the existence of maths in the show
I like that after a while they just ran out of names starting with O and decided to just take any name, put an O in front of it, and call it a day
I remember that there was an episode of running when I was a doctor’s office or something, and I watched the whole thing. I remember the plot involved Olive going on some investigation that involved Shapeshifter, and there’s this point in the episode where Shapeshifter turns into a pie, causing Olive to scream in terror, to which Otto is confused by, and Olive reveals that she’s afraid of pie and that it’s an long story. I believe that the rest of the episode involves her having to touch a pie just to make sure that it’s not Shapeshifter. Then Olive shoots Ms. O at the end of the episode because she offered her a day off from work.
I think there was an episode that explains why she's afraid of pies
@@foxlyticalxd2562 Never seen it but I’m guessing it’s because the number pi has infinite digits and that was just a little too spooky for her
@@nevisnebis1207 It's a PTSD thing from back when Todd was her partner.
I remember watching this exact episode. She was traumatized, and definitely has PTSD from....'the incident'

I’d love to see you talk about Cyberchase, it was my childhood and has surprisingly deep lore. And I’d love to see your reaction to the post episode live-action scenes lol
I don't know how what requirements she places on these lore video but every one that I have seen is about shows that have stopped making new seasons and Cyber Chase is still ongoing.
@@S.A.M.422 well that’s something I didn’t expect
@@sociallyineptsnapper
Well the ongoing thing might change due to this one major factor: the death of one of the voice actors.
Gilbert Gottfried played Digit, one of the main characters.
@@carsfan1995 oh wow. Well. I don’t know, shows tend to just replace people.
@@sociallyineptsnapper
Yeah, but Gilbert Gottfried has a very distinct voice.
Around 2016-ish (around the time s2 came out) I was obsessed with Odd Squad. There was just something about it that was so fun to watch. The learning wasn’t pushed to your face (for majority of the time) and it had some really fun and memorable characters and situations. I dropped out after a little time after the movie dropped, but man, was that a fun phase.
I like the 2nd series.
@@princesspikachu3915 Im sorry but this show I grew up on has a SPIN OFF!?!?!? Tell me what it isssss. TELL MEEEE
@@cheezballz8146I'm 97% sure they mean the second season, not series
I find it funny that I watched almost all the episodes (up until before s3) and never understood what happened to the pink fuzz balls
Odd Squad and Wild Kratts were my JAMS back in middle school! I did stop watching Odd Squad sometime after season 1, mainly 'cause the PBS station for our area moved it from 3pm to 5:30 or 6 am, so I had only seen up to the Odd Todd event, and by the time I caught another episode, they were well into season 2. I had assumed Olive and Otto had aged out, but was most upset with Oona replacing Oscar. I didn't know what happened to him and had a "How dare you stand where he once stood" moment with her (Oscar was and is my most favorite character, followed by Otto). I'm quite happy to learn of the OG O's send offs!
"Strange Strange Weather", the song from Olive's tragic backstory, was an absolute banger. I could really see it playing in a Hollywood movie.
Yass 👏 I religiously listen to Take Away Four as a guilty pleasure too
literally that song is so good
That is a wonderful song
RIGHT??? I saw that episode as a kid, it went unbelievably hard.
I preformed "Like Nobody's Watching" for my occupational therapist once
Oh my god, I had forgotten this show and you reminded me of it, violently.
I was in my 20s when this came out, and I remember watching it not for the math lessons, but because it was one of the only things I'd ever seen that instilled a deep sense of fear and dread in me. I just remember the episode showing that the director was an agent back in the 80s, but she hadn't aged _at all,_ despite having lived at _least_ 30 years. This show was a nightmare, and I LOVED IT!
Kinda same lol, but I was around 14 or 15 when it first came (maybe 16)
I remember watching this when it came out, I remember watching every episode when it was new and I in fact remember crying at Olive and Otto leaving forever. Damn I love this show even if I mostly outgrew it.
I cried too watching O is Not For Over. I miss Olive and Otto. :'(
And yes, the part where Otto said, "Does this mean we're getting married?" and Olive was like, "What? NO!" got me rolling on the floor XD
@@blossompoolofdramaclan8029 and they were roommate!
I love these deep dive videos into preschool shows. Keep up the great work, Athena.
Less preschool, more for kids in general.
"Take away one, take away one, take away one, take away one breath from me, and you take away four! Whoa! One, one, one, one baby. I'll be keeping score. There's nothing left of me, 'cause you take away four!"
Yeah Soundcheck is still fire after like 8 years. I always thought they were a direct parody of One Direction. Also that Gingers Have Souls reference was just out of left field lol.
what about noisecheck from that one episode
As a kid, Odd Squad was my favorite show. It still holds a special place in my heart.
I remember 13-16 year old me watching one episode of this show daily because Pokemon was transmitting immediately after on Tooncast, so it was a good timer, but eventually I legitimately started liking the show
glad how pbs shows are getting more recognized lately
For being as much of a Trekkie as I am, I can't believe it took this video for me to realize the tube-operator being named "O'Brian" is most definitely a reference to Conan O'Brian who operated the transporters on
This show was my FAVORITE as a kid, I can’t lie, younger me shipped the agents together so hard. Olympia and Otis were my first otp. Also yes please make a part 2 on the iconic sound check!
YES, FINALLY, I FOUND ANOTHER ONE
💀
WE ARE ONE AND THE SAME
I LOVED this show when I was younger!!
I did too! I couldn’t remember why my younger self did what she did, but I rewatched it recently to figure out why and wow, those two fit like a glove, lmao
I grew up watching odd squad and playing odd squad games on the pbs kids website. I forgot it existed for a bit and this entire video was a rush of nostalgia
"the odd squad will follow rules to the letter, even to their own detriment" oh so it's like LITERALLY a kid-friendly scp foundation
Odd squad and WordGirl were my favorite pbs shows as a kid and it makes me so happy that both of them are coming back :)
They are?!
@@PercydeRoloFangirl not coming back as in their shows continue but coming back as in people are talking about them again
Same
Yes transitions between characters are very well handled and I really liked the characters.
Honestly so do I.
I also appreciate the set ups for Todd and Odis even if you could see it coming
This show was basically my entire childhood along with Wild Kratts. Hearing you just, like, spiral while explaining this is just 👌
I lowkey thought Odd Squad was a fever dream, so I'm glad that other people had the experience of that show too! I loved this as a kid, and I still love it.
I just thought of a fun thing they could’ve thought about for this show.
What if there was another organization called the Even Team?
Everyone’s names could start with E and instead of investigating things that are odd
They investigate things that disrupt balance and help to fix things that are naturally fair but somehow became unfair/uneven.
Then there could be an episode where they both set out to solve a case that is both odd and disrupting the balance. And they first try to beat each other to solve it first due to company rivalry but eventually work together to solve it and start an alliance.
😂I can’t believe I just made a fan fic prompt out of this weird kids show.
*odd kids show
*We don’t talk about Weird Team.*
@@a_moth5584 agent Wanda and Wesley are on the case.
@@a_moth5584 THE WEIRD TEAM OMG
Their missions is based on Language Arts rather than math.
i liked the Wild Kratts Crossover, i thought it was funny how they basically parodied the opening of that show XD
I’d love to see you talk about such an underrated show from my childhood, called Crashbox on HBO Family (you can find this show on HBO Max too). And it’s a shame many don’t know about this show because it was very revolutionary for its time with all the different animations the show had. (The show is from 1999). The show’s concept is that your brain is asleep and that this computer filled with little robots crashes into it and is here to fill it with knowledge by crafting different games. These games can be from a narrator talking about a revolting slob and how awful his life is by teaching new English words (with him exploding at the end of every segment when she says a word that means to explode) to a skeleton pirate teaching you math with his bones and insults you when you can’t keep up. This show pushed the limits of what you could do with an educational children’s show and I just wish it got the attention it deserves
Love seeing other people who know about this show
Aww my gf introduced me to this show!! It's a really neat show, hope more people start seeing it!
oh crashbox i think i remember that one
I was scarred by The Revolting Slob, but now I've become The Revolting Slob 😞
Ooh! I forgot Crashbox and HBO Family existed but I remember A Little Curious
This show was past my Discovery Kids time( there is where it aired on my country) but every now and then I would catch an episode and be weirdly fascinated by it
I like how nobody is questioning why is the shape-shifting woman friends with Odd Todd. I just hope it was a parental relationship.
I've always been intrigued by their partnership in that trial episode ngl
I'd ship them but the age gap would make it problematic, so I'm not going to, don't worry.
I am so happy some one is doing an analysis of one of my favorites kid shows ever made. Thanks Athena.
I'm gonna turn 15 next April, and I STILL love that show!
I forgot about this show before this video. I used to watch it since I was forced to watch these kinds of shows when my sister was young and I really liked it. It is basically a family-friendly SCP Foundation and I love this show for that. Also if an official SCP show or movie gets made then I hope the people who did this show do that since they would be perfect and I would not be supervised if the crew were SCP fans.
This was the first show I theorized about. I would stay awake at night wondering about Olive’s old partner and Otis’s past
Early in quarantine, the finale of season 2 was recommended to me on RUclips, and even though we hadn't followed the series for years, my sister and I watched it. We completely lost it when Otis said "i was raised by ducks," and it's still an inside joke with us. Also when he started to fly, like wtf?
I remember seeing 1 episode as a kid where one character was looking for treasure he buried as a kid but failed cause his feet were bigger so his steps were bigger so counting them didn't work, SO HE PULLED OUT THE SHOES HE WORE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER AND WAS JUST LIKE "oh yeah I carry all my shoes from when I was younger with me at all time for just this reason"
That was the hydroclops episode. It wasn’t treasure it was Oscar’s secret weapon against the hydroclops. He made a series of maps to find other maps to find the secret weapon using arbitrary things to measure distance (toy bear, candy bar, his 5 year old feet). And yes he carries around his shoe sizes from all his ages, you don’t?
The secret weapon was his smelly sock btw. The hydroclops has a big nose and it didn’t like the smell. They all hid their own socks again so in 100 years when the hydroclops came back with all it’s brothers and sisters they would be prepared
Let’s just talk about how amazing Oxana is! Also Oscar is actually god
god finally a youtuber is FINALLY covering Odd Squad!! I loved that show as a kid and remember watching it for hours, and i think the boss child had a juice addiction.
Also sidenote, in the Odd Suqad game on the PBS Kids website, I named my character, “Oisaac” because I thought it would kick me out of the game because my name started with an I.
Yup, everytime she showed up she either already had juice in her hand or had someone go get her juice
Every head of a branch had a drink they were into and Ms O's was juice. When Olive starts training for her position as head, Oscar tells her she needs to pick her signature drink
Funny how these videos legitimately make me want to see these shows for myself. For the next PBS Kids show I recommend I’d go with The Electric Company, which is about these kids that have spelling and grammar based powers that they shoot out like fireballs. Later episodes later introduce a new boy with math based powers instead which is probably the key reason Odd Squad reminds me of it so much.
I legit only watched season one because i got so freakin attached to seeing ottis and olive in odd squad as a kid i couldent handle watching two other mains lmao.
Same bro
same but it was because i was watching on netflix and all the other seasons were nonexistent (also season 1 was split in 2 for some reason)
I watched this show as a kid, and it always stood out with its interesting characters and humor. I'm glad to see it covered in-depth.
THAT'S WHAT THIS SHOW IS CALLED! I used to watch it but could never remember the name, or even the premise. It was just 'that weird childhood show' for the longest time.
Man, this show was my childhood. Actually went to a camp with the actor for Ms. O. Never really talked to her, but I saw her around a couple times and she seemed nice. She was also in Wonder I believe?
She was in Wonder
Finally someone who looks at the masterpiece of odd squad! Almost no one makes odd squad content but when I was younger I loved odd squad and recently I started watching some of the episodes again and even at 16 I still enjoyEd it. I know math pretty well but apart from the math part odd squad is really entertaining to watch
~gonna add one, gonna add one~ WHY WERE THE SONGS IN THIS SHOW ACTUALLY KIND OF A VIBE-
also i think someone should check on athena . . . 5:33
I remember we watched the Odd Squad movie in my 6th grade class. It was, needless to say, the most feverish dream I've ever had.
Dave still haunts my dreams.
With this tv show, I literally taught my fifth grade classmates how to do rounding. It was one of the rare times my ego was fed. (Edit: this took place when i was in fifth grade)
I never say this, but I was shocked that you don’t have more subscribers! Your videos are so engaging and fun to watch, and you’re absolutely hysterical! I thought you’d at least have 100-200k subs. I’m sure you’ll blow up in the future, so I guess im just here before you get big!!
Thank you so so much!! That means a lot to me and I sure hope so. I love making these videos so much!!
You were here before lmao!!
I 100% believe that this show is the root of my love of cryptozoology and the SCP foundation. I remember watching this when I was way older than the target audience just so I could learn the world building 😅😅😅.
Edit: I couldn’t help myself and watched one of the episodes on RUclips and I forgot just how ICONIC Dr. O is, an absolute girl boss and mood
This was my favorite show when I was younger, had no idea it had lore ‘till you brought it up lmao. Edit: 19:38 “having a midlife crisis at the age of 10” I relate to that, as someone who had a midlife crisis at the age of ten lmfao.
Dude I get that you can put ads in your video wherever you want but the fucking "that's why you'll get an ad here right... now!" Then the ad cuts in, then "aaaand we're back!" Bit was so perfectly timed!
I've been a fan of the scp stuff since the original 4chan post and I now have four kids with my oldest being 8. Your title alone shook me to my existential parental core.
What if Odd Squad is the future of the backrooms?
What if they finally made the backrooms (or most of it) stop moving around. So the "Oddness" from the back rooms spread throughout the world.
But that's just a theory, A FILM THEO-
One more thing is that you forgot about Baby Genius and Rivka! That’s always been so confusing to me and I’d love to hear your take on them.
Yay, the Odd Squad video! Been waiting on this one. :D
I was 100% down the Odd Squad rabbit hole back in 2016. The little group of people we had on the wiki were really kind (mostly in their late teens), and the show and community did a lot for me at that point in my life.
Fun fact: Joshua Kilimnik (the actor who played Odd Todd, about the same age as I was) was an active wiki admin and a pretty cool guy. I imagine he'd probably find the "calling a kid an asshole" joke pretty funny.
My favorite line in the entire series and perhaps all of tv is during the O games when all the characters chosen come up to the stage saying something like “#60 DR. O: 100% smart 0% silly” and finally #70 gets called and Otto is all like ‘dang I wish that was me’ and Olive tells him it IS him and he says “AGENT OTTO 100% #70 0% NOT NUMBER 70%” and that line has stuck with me for years
I was completely obsessed with Odd Squad as a kid and I literally cried when Olive and Otto were sent off, I was an extremely sentimental kid, for me Olive Otto and Oscar (and Ms. O) were my absolute favourites and while I do love Olympia and Otis (still not happy about their send off) they hold a special place on my heart.
I miss the math room Justice for Carol!
Oprah and O'Donahue were such great partner's and it was sad to see him levae, Olga made me so mad everytime she showed up
Also Season 1 was objectively the best season.
I didn't even know there was a season 3... I remember the season 2 finale and actually believed the show ended after that. Thats pretty neat they were able to make more of such a solid pbs kids show.
I was a little too old to consistently watch PBS anymore when this show came out, BUT it was definitely the type that made you stand in the Livingroom if an episode was on when you passed by. SO weird comparing the snippets from memory to the actual lore!
my favorite was Oksanna. she was so done with everyones shit and i loved her for that. also, my sister has a big fuzzy spherical pillow that she uses as a stuffed animal and calls it her centigerp.
I used to love this show so much! The nostalgia hits me so hard by watching this. I wanna watch the show again.
As someone who grew up watching odd squad, I can confirm it was a wild ride
The entirety of Athena talking about seasons 1 and 2 was pure nostalgia for me lol- I kept going "OOO I REMEMBER THAT!!! :D"
Also 17:42 has massive Danny Gonzalez energy
One of my favorite jokes in the series:
Olympia: I mean we can't get eaten, there still so much left in the season.
Ms. O: What?
Olympia: Winter! It's my favorite season. Plus, I got a ski pass and I've barely used it.
I'm hoping to see "Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat" and "Wild Krats" on these lore videos in the future.
The amount of odd squad I watched when I was little is insane.
Best show
Imagine if Odd Squad had a crossover with SCP
Depending on the scp that would be featured it'd either fit in with the other episode, or stick out and cause so much childhood trauma.
Kids get riped apart by the unkillable reptile
The Odd Squad is an anomaly
SCP 209
“Odd squad”
Object class: Keter
SCP 209 is a squad filled of children investigating paranormal and “odd” things, sometimes solving them and helping people. Even finding other anomalies. It’s unknown if they created these or simply discovered unknown anomalies,
man I’m too lazy to write a paragraph.
They'd probably find a way to kill all of those overpowered immortal spcs with fractions
I looooove this show. It’s so creative and funny. Everyone should watch it! The costuming is especially awesome. Ive read a few interviews with the lead costume designer and she really put so much thought behind the basic uniforms and all the villain outfits.
Odd squad was such a faint memory in my childhood. I never watched beyond the second half of season 2 because me growing up and going onwards to middle school. Never really touched anymore PBS kids shows. But thanks to this video I started to continue where I left off. Maybe the show is the reason I liked math so much in elementary school and onwards. I absolutely loved Otis and Olympia, they remind me of my favorite ship trope in fanfiction, haha.
3rd grade me made a lore notebook for this show back in the day lol. Had “Odd Squad Mysteries” written on the front In washable marker and everything.
I unironically love this show. It's unhinged in the best way possible
I just now learned about this show’s existence, but the fact it wasn’t an integral part of my childhood should be a crime.
YES MY CHILDHOOD! I remember watching this so much,to the point I spend the ENTIRE night watching odd squad.
