My biggest problem with Lexa's death was that she was the best character on the show and they gave her a stupid death. She was the best fighter but she died so anti-climatically
I didn't care for her character and I don't agree with her being the best character on the show. But I do think she deserved a better death. I mean c'mon, getting hit by a stray bullet? She should've died in a battle or a fight or something
Lexa wasn't the "best" character, she was far from it, she was a horrible selfish character, 1 of the most overrated characters ever created and I like the fact that she died so anticlimactically.
"Home" should be #1. I watched it the night it aired and I STILL shudder thinking about it. That there is some powerful writing and acting. The others? I've seen a few of them, but... nope, "Home" takes the Gold Medal.
Considering the view people have around male rape victims to the point that it's actually normalised in society compared to the rape of women, which is abhorred even by murderers, the rape of a man in anything wouldn't be deemed controversial whatsoever, more like business as usual.
Why Randall torturing and raping Jamie on Outlander didn't make it to the list? That's one of the most triggering scene I've ever watched in my life. That was like 10 times worse than Sansa and Ramsay scene
I can't believe people complained about that scene when the book is worse as that goes into full details at least the show didn't go full on graphic with it
@@bubbledreams6382 Nearly nobody thinks it is romantic by modern morals, but considering it's a story that takes place in the 1600s, you really have to see things in context. In the book it is quite well described how Claire too issue with Jamies behavior and had him promise never to hit her again.
these comments are wild. "lgbt people are so triggered lmao" - okay but like?? did you hear the bit where there were bomb threats sent to a studio just because ellen came out? that's quite literally the most "triggered" thing i've ever heard.
cait matt - basically everyone these days is bloody triggered even when offense isn't meant to anyone. thin skin combined with obvious political agendas on both sides... as a Dr. who's actually helped two people transition from M to F (specialized in endocrinology), I really stood by them to be supportive as they were old friends even before patients and knew their change would only get harder from both the left and right
cait matt it’s quite funny, someone made a list of movies where LGBT characters are killed and there are way more than I though, should be somewhere in the web
In my opinion X-Files "Home" has them all beat hands down! I saw it the first night it was broadcast and it still gives me the willies. I've always believed that it's so creepy because it could actually happen.
I'm gay, but I was not out-raged that Lexa died because she was gay, I'm out-raged at the way she died. She was such a badass character, and then to die by a stray bullet by her father figure is dumb. Not to mention bad writing, as Clarke is a goddamn healer and she got shot in the stomach. And the fact they were in Lexa's own palace(idk what to call it or if it had a name, been awhile) none of her guards or anyone else came for her. Logically, she couldn't have died that quickly or at all under these circumstances. Sexuality completely aside, this was bad writing. (i dont mean that her death in general was bad writing, i just mean the way she did. i would be sad, but if she at least died a more glorious way, i'd be happy)
Shot in the stomach? And with no medical technology to save her? Yeah, she would die the same. The stomach is also a vital organ... Vital organs are not only the lungs, the heart or the brain as movies portrait... A serious injury in the colon can be enough to kill a person...
well maybe they didn't plagiarize everything this time in a list like their "writers" (if you can even call them that without insulting real writers) always do... Larry Bundy Jr. still would like a legit apology from these wankers for blatantly plagiarizing one of his videos
Meditating Gundam he went full Sith Lord, fuck even Vader murdering little padawans was not....eh no still just as fucked up. Okay, ehm, even Darth Maul brutally beheading people....eh no not that, still just as bad. Okay, even Dooku, you know what Sith Lords are just assholes
The outrage over Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken makes no sense to me. I don't see how you can think it's okay to spend a season watching Theon Greyjoy getting tortured, castrated and brainwashed, to see a pregnant woman fatally stabbed in the uterus, to have a character that forcibly impregnated his daughters then forcibly impregnated his daughters' daughters, but one rape scene is going to far. It's especially ridiculous considering that the show had previously included rape scenes that were far more graphic than that one. GoT is widely known for its violent content, there's a warning that appears before every episode of it. If you can't handle watching that sort of thing, the show is not for you.
The thing is the rape scene was totally idiotic. Sansa became a stronger, more confident person in season 4. Only to break her character again. Why even build up her earlier then? Sansa is still a virgin in the books, she never met Ramsay and is still in the Vale with Robyn. Why would Baelish accept to marry her off to another man, when he is clearly in love with her (as creepy as it is)? He finally has what he desires, yet ships her off like one of his whores in KL. His moves just don't make sense
1) Because it doesn't happened in the books. 2) Sophie Turner was 18 at this time. 3) It doesn't make any sense Sansa would marry another man and she is actually married to Tyrion. No stop trying to explain how makes sense because it is not. 4) It doesn't make any fucking sense either that Sansa would marry the enemy to revenge like really can anyone explain the revenge plan again?? 4) The showrunners was marketing this storyline as Sansa making sacrifices. sacrifice for what? 5) It's 2015 and writers are still writing the "rape makes women stronger" bullshit!!
I do remember that episode now. I don't know why it didn't really creep me out, but I guess my mind was still trying to process the whole incest thing.
Whhaaattt??? Game of Thrones, a show that frequently abuses and mistreats its characters, mistreated and abused one of its characters!? Who saw that coming?
I have mixed feelings about the Sansa thing, but mostly because I didn't like the entire "Sansa returns to Winterfell" thing. Book Baelish would NEVER have done that; it was just a dumb move.
@Kyel ! Passing someone off as a fair Stark was smart. Making an enemy out of the actual Sansa Stark was quite not-smart. If his ultimate goal was to take the Iron Throne with Sansa, that was an awful way to do it.
that was just...ridiculous.. and it wasn't rape.. she lays down expecting him to have his way and he is rough about it.. she never says no get off me etc she didn't want to do it but this was back when it was expected of a woman/bride and that a man had his right on their wedding night..
kimmyfreak200 it's still rape. The only reason she didn't fight is because he probably would've killed her if she did. Just because it's set in a time where it was more acceptable doesn't mean it still isn't rape.
I'm Puertorican and I can confirm that this deserves the #1, the whole country was mad because like always, it was taken out of context 😬. Also, Seinfeld did a Stand-up in 2014 in Puerto Rico and his promotion was "15 years saying sorry" it was gold.
I think Maude is also surprising because this is a middle age woman goes through the abortion. There is this stereotype that teens are the ones going to the clinics-when really every woman and every age might go through something like this. Kudos to them.
Having Charlotte kill herself was an even worse decision. They killed off a major book character and then the pay off for that story line is 40 minutes of her feeling kinda bad and then deciding she's better off dead and then everyone moves on. They could have given Charlotte a strong redemption arc and had her come full circle as nightmares about her parents being floated turn to nightmares of her murdering Wells. With her having to mature knowing she did a thing worse than what was done to her parents and fighting to always do the right thing in the future. But nope they just had her kill the only fleshed out black youth on the show and then take about a day before deciding to kill herself. It's poor wasteful writing so I never made it past season 1.

Rule #1 when watching TV, playing a video game, or reading a book: if you're going to let a work of fiction offend you, just tune out and never return. Simple.
From a capitalist standpoint If a work of fiction bothers you don't just ignore it. If you want to keep buying from the publisher or watching network TV here is what you do. With out getting flustered up tell them to make better products or you'll stop buying.
bishop51807 From a realistic point, that makes no sense, taste is subjective, you might think something was crap but 3 billion might have enjoyed it. This is the problem with the current wave of entitlement. Everyone believes their opinion matters, when unless it's a democratic vote, it doesn't, it's important and it defines you as a person but people should not ever believe their opinion is more important than someone's feelings. People having a rant on fb is more effective than contacting someone who's creating something themselves (which is more than the people wanting to write are doing), to tell them they need to do better, just because they think so. Nope, an adult stops watching, leaves a negative review and moves on with their life knowing that a tv shows content has no effect on their lives and if it does, maybe they need to get help with readjusting to reality.
really... the red wedding not even an honorable mention THAT was controversial killing off 2 of it's main characters in auch a fashion. stabbing a pregnant lady in the belly multiple times to kil the baby first... rlly
Honestly in Sansa's rape scene I was mostly admiring the absolute A+ acting job of Alfie Allen. You can see the emotion in his eyes as a man who has the power to stop this but is so broken he can't. His whole transformation from Theon to Reek is actually some other worldly award worthy type shit.
I dont watch "The 100" but, as far as i know, they didin't killed that character arbitrarily, the actress had to leave the show due to her new character on Fear The Walking Dead, so it's kind of a empty controversy, in my opinion.
Are we talking about Lonely Souls, where the network forced David Lynch to reveal the identity of Laura Palmer's killer? It certainly killed the series, but I think a quality slide and cancellation were inevitable.
I thought for sure that one would be here. I watched it only a few years ago and it disturbed the shit outta me. I'm pretty sure I cried when Edith told Archie she'd been raped.
@@missiecombs7280 LOL, same. I remember watching her and three other comediennes on an HBO special called "Women of the Night" and hosted by Martin Short. It was great!
Home was a terrifying episode. I saw when it first aired. The sheriff getting beaten to death with bats while Life is so Wonderful plays stayed with me for years.
That Maude episode was one of the best written. Beatrice Arthur did a wonderful job in portraying a woman who had two decisions to make, have a baby at that age or answer a question that many people would be to scared to do or be afraid of doing. You shouldnt be afraid to make a decision if you are not ready to have a baby. Bea did a good job in the episode and the episode opened a discussion during the legal dispute in the 70s.
I'm sorry I could never condone abortion. I understand that Maude and her husband were of a certain age but apparently she became pregnant for a reason. If they didn't want another baby, they should have been more careful or one of them should have gotten fixed. A baby should never be punished for just wanting to exist. Abortion is a major hot button issue and probably always will be, but I will always be pro life.
I condone people who stand up in what they believe. you have your opinion on it and I have mine. Its a decision a difficult one, and even if you plan not to have kids the world can be a strange thing.
I honestly remember seeing the 'Home' episode of X-Files and thought it was one of the best the show had to offer. Felt like this could have been a horror movie all on its own it was that good and compelling.
GOWFOWD ZEF AKA 101mythbusters I feel like season 7 episode 1 "The day will come when you won't be" was a bigger contributer, but still, not even an honorable mention
What an episode to show! :p Was it Halloween or something? One of my college English teachers showed us The Post Modern Prometheus (X-Files episode) because we were reading Frankenstein. The episode is based off the novel.
Dylan Tka it wasn't really that "controversial" actually. People especially those who knew the story of the comics already knew what was about to happen when Negan is physically introduced especially when in the comics Glenn is killed by Negan and Abraham's death was long overdue and he was supposed to get that arrow to the eye and not the lesbian doctor so yeah, no suprise there. The only difference was that Glenn had more of an emotional impact especially when they kept Maggie alive (and yeah Maggie is supposed to be dead) and she's pregnant with Glenn's child and the fact that this soon to be father that we all liked gave the death scene of Glenn more emotional impact than it should.
Remember when all the feminists said they would never watch Game of Thrones again after the rape scene of Sansa calling it "more unnecessary violence against women"? Yet they are now not only back to watching it but are defending all of Thirteen Reasons Why's graphic rape and suicide scenes that were recommended not to be used by just about every licensed psychologist out there. As they could lead to suicide (and they have in several cited situations from copycats of the show, look it up). PS the book did that scene way more graphic that Game of Thrones show did. Even if it wasn't Sansa why does that make the impact less important? In the books Ramsey made Theon "get the girl ready for him" by you know, licking her down there. At least they not only didn't go that far but legit didn't show anything and ended the scene very fast. They made it about as tame as they could while still keeping the main thing they wanted to portray which is that Ramsey is a monster who must be despised and killed viciously. This makes Sansa's killing of him later on more impactful.
You know what really bugs me. Double standards. Hey, I'm a minority who wants equal rights and be treated the same as everyone else in the world but I also want special treatment due to me being a minority and all.
The controversy on Lexa's death is not just because it's a damaging trope (killing a gay character minutes after consumating their love with their partner) but also because of the queerbaiting that Jason (showrunner) and staff did previously to it.
Ah, the days when queerbaiting initially meant "straight guy lures a gay guy supposedly for sex but ends up beating the shit out of him" instead of "wah wah my ship got sunk".
Miriam Garcia actually he had writers go on safe zone websites and say that lexa wasn't going to die and cause trauma. So that's baiting the fans into watching season 3 all the way to her death which as you know crippled the show.
Ali3ngazer Where. Is. The. Evidence? Burden of proof, baby. You have to back of these assertions you're making. Show me proof that JASON ordered his writers to go to safe zones. I know Shawna Benson was involved, but there's no evidence (unless you know something I don't?) Jason sent her nor were her comments malicious (from what I've read, courtesy of Clexas). Obviously they weren't going to hand out a spoiler for a yet unaired season. It's dumb to expect them to ruin a huge plot point before the episode's been aired. No showrunners/ writers/ cast members would ever give that kind of info. Also, no one promised she wouldn't die, they just said she was alive which she was because 307 had yet to air.
This is a great list and a look back on history in general. As a 48yo GWM, who was only out to a few people, at 26 when Ellen aired and as kid when Maude aired I remember well the huge impact and discussions they spurred. On a side note: with media interests and choices so vast now, I wonder if as a culture we will ever again experience such event(s) that have as much of an impact together.
The cover photo was all I needed to see. That episode scarred me for LIFE! "Home" It's an X-Files episode. It made it nearly impossible for me to listen to Johnny Mathis again.
I'm puerto rican and i thought that episode of seinfeld was fucking hilarious god people need to realize shows like that shouldn't be taken seriously!!!
The Soprano's had some very controversial episodes. "Employee of the Month", "University", and "Long Term Parking" just to name a few. Surprised that not one single episode wasn't even mentioned in the video, not even honorable mentions. I agree, make another video of this same topic.
The 100 was a good enough show, but that wasn't that controversial. They killed a main character off, they were Gay, but as if that had never been done before, Game of Thrones and Walking Dead had already done that, both of which are much more popular than The 100.
Raise money for LGBT teens because a gay character got killed? What the hell do they need??? The writers did nothing wrong with killing Alexa off and if kids, gay or not, can't handle that then they shouldn't be watching the show in the first place.
Watching Sansa go through multiple rapes each night and then still come out strong, but with lingering pain and insecurities, was something I felt showed women we can overcome and that a man destroying you one moment or multiple moments is not your fault.
If I remember correctly Fox did re-air "Home" but it was a one time deal. They re-aired it on Halloween in either '99 or '00. They made a big deal about the episode that night that I had to tape it.
My biggest problem with Lexa's death was that she was the best character on the show and they gave her a stupid death. She was the best fighter but she died so anti-climatically

Pareidolia 115 I'm surprised that they didnt mention the Outlandet episode where Jamie got raped, that was more traumatizing than Sansa's.
XxPhanieEmoxX I'm not. Jamie's a boy, Sansa's a girl. It's no shock that people had nothing to say about the former.

Nope, an adult stops watching, leaves a negative review and moves on with their life knowing that a tv shows content has no effect on their lives and if it does, maybe they need to get help with readjusting to reality.
really...
the red wedding not even an honorable mention
THAT was controversial
killing off 2 of it's main characters in auch a fashion. stabbing a pregnant lady in the belly multiple times to kil the baby first...
rlly
Honestly in Sansa's rape scene I was mostly admiring the absolute A+ acting job of Alfie Allen. You can see the emotion in his eyes as a man who has the power to stop this but is so broken he can't. His whole transformation from Theon to Reek is actually some other worldly award worthy type shit.
That was one of the episode's biggest criticisms. Sansa was raped but people made it about Theon.
Pop Jones dam good acting
I dont watch "The 100" but, as far as i know, they didin't killed that character arbitrarily, the actress had to leave the show due to her new character on Fear The Walking Dead, so it's kind of a empty controversy, in my opinion.
People don't care about facts they just want to whine.
I'm still not over with the Dexter finale. I miss that show so damn much.
How about 13 reasons why. I love the show,but the last episode had a lot of talk about showing the death of Hannah Baker.
Anthony Lucero Oh it wasn't on the list?! I'm surprise.
It's a season finale, so I guess it's on that other list.
What throughout the entire show you didn't know she killed herself for mostly retarded reasons
The show overall is just a big fat no
That ne episode of outlander where Black Jack tortures and rapes Jamie should be in here. Also, Mason Verger eating his own face on drugs in Hannibal
Now I know WatchMojo never watched Twin Peaks
Are we talking about Lonely Souls, where the network forced David Lynch to reveal the identity of Laura Palmer's killer? It certainly killed the series, but I think a quality slide and cancellation were inevitable.
Umm where's the Archie bunker episode with the home intruder
That is cringeworthy and controversial
I thought for sure that one would be here. I watched it only a few years ago and it disturbed the shit outta me. I'm pretty sure I cried when Edith told Archie she'd been raped.
Wow I had no idea Ellen acted before her talk show, she’s amazing!
No, she's not. She's a feminist. Never watching Finding Nemo again.
This comment makes me feel really old.... 😕
@@missiecombs7280 LOL, same. I remember watching her and three other comediennes on an HBO special called "Women of the Night" and hosted by Martin Short. It was great!
X Files Home episode was violent and creepy but it had a great plot for a horror story.

Says the guy with the stupid username.
Home was a terrifying episode. I saw when it first aired. The sheriff getting beaten to death with bats while Life is so Wonderful plays stayed with me for years.
The first episode of AHS Hotel anyone
That Maude episode was one of the best written. Beatrice Arthur did a wonderful job in portraying a woman who had two decisions to make, have a baby at that age or answer a question that many people would be to scared to do or be afraid of doing. You shouldnt be afraid to make a decision if you are not ready to have a baby. Bea did a good job in the episode and the episode opened a discussion during the legal dispute in the 70s.
I'm sorry I could never condone abortion. I understand that Maude and her husband were of a certain age but apparently she became pregnant for a reason. If they didn't want another baby, they should have been more careful or one of them should have gotten fixed. A baby should never be punished for just wanting to exist. Abortion is a major hot button issue and probably always will be, but I will always be pro life.
I condone people who stand up in what they believe. you have your opinion on it and I have mine. Its a decision a difficult one, and even if you plan not to have kids the world can be a strange thing.
MY GURL LEXA
I Just KNOW "Home" From "The X Files" Is Going To Be On Here.
6:33 I Knew It.
Controversial isn't killing off a gay character. Controversial is making fun of gay people.
koth Nope. that's just called comedy
gametime x3 I never said it can't be funny. It's just that it builds up more controversy than a completely unrelated death.
That's a good way of putting it and they definitely didn't do that with Lexa or any of the other gay characters on the show.

koth
Controversy = comedy to Uneasily offended people
Comedy = controversy to easily offended people
I honestly remember seeing the 'Home' episode of X-Files and thought it was one of the best the show had to offer. Felt like this could have been a horror movie all on its own it was that good and compelling.
No mention of "Last Day On Earth"? Episode 616 of The Walking Dead.
GOWFOWD ZEF AKA 101mythbusters I feel like season 7 episode 1 "The day will come when you won't be" was a bigger contributer, but still, not even an honorable mention
And I recognize that Xfiles thumbnail
I've seen that x file's episode it was scary as hell . Millennium was a the scariest show ever
Home is creepy. I always forget how disturbing the episode is, until I rewatch it. Millennial was great too.
>Killing someone in a show is controversial because of their gender or sexuality
Ok then.
Lol my bio teacher showed us that x-files episode in class.
What an episode to show! :p Was it Halloween or something? One of my college English teachers showed us The Post Modern Prometheus (X-Files episode) because we were reading Frankenstein. The episode is based off the novel.
OMFG! Why aren’t my teachers that cool😭

Dylan Tka I know, I'm pissed that it didn't make the list, not even an honorable mention
Dylan Tka it wasn't really that "controversial" actually. People especially those who knew the story of the comics already knew what was about to happen when Negan is physically introduced especially when in the comics Glenn is killed by Negan and Abraham's death was long overdue and he was supposed to get that arrow to the eye and not the lesbian doctor so yeah, no suprise there. The only difference was that Glenn had more of an emotional impact especially when they kept Maggie alive (and yeah Maggie is supposed to be dead) and she's pregnant with Glenn's child and the fact that this soon to be father that we all liked gave the death scene of Glenn more emotional impact than it should.
Dickmelson Lupot ya put they don't in the comics threating rick to cut off his sons hand or he well kill he's group that was fu up to
Dickmelson Lupot I didn't know know Maggie was already dead in the comics when Negan shows up. I thought she was there with Sofia.
RckerMom87 Maggie is still alive in the comics
10. That actually broke my heart 😭💔
9. Still loves this show
Tbh I thought melisandre burning shireen alive was more controversial than sansa being raped.
The end of Seinfeld is number one.
I'm 99% sure you've already done this
Thomas Mees that was for cartoon episodes
Remember when all the feminists said they would never watch Game of Thrones again after the rape scene of Sansa calling it "more unnecessary violence against women"? Yet they are now not only back to watching it but are defending all of Thirteen Reasons Why's graphic rape and suicide scenes that were recommended not to be used by just about every licensed psychologist out there. As they could lead to suicide (and they have in several cited situations from copycats of the show, look it up).
PS the book did that scene way more graphic that Game of Thrones show did. Even if it wasn't Sansa why does that make the impact less important? In the books Ramsey made Theon "get the girl ready for him" by you know, licking her down there. At least they not only didn't go that far but legit didn't show anything and ended the scene very fast. They made it about as tame as they could while still keeping the main thing they wanted to portray which is that Ramsey is a monster who must be despised and killed viciously. This makes Sansa's killing of him later on more impactful.
Never watched it but isn't there a fucktun of violence against men there?
#3 Home...
When They 1st Pulled that Lady out from under the Bed & the way She Screamed, Freaked Me The F Out in 1995!
Ill never forget it either. So disturbing!
No 10. Doctor: "Sorry to keep you waiting, she's lucky to be alive"
Brother: "He is!"
Doctor: "Fine! HE'S dead" LOL
Dude had a SNIPER rifle " I came up here to kill myself "
HI! WatchMojo ❤
_Puertorican day_
Wow, I'm surprised we even have an episode dedicated to us, even if it is controversial
You know what really bugs me. Double standards. Hey, I'm a minority who wants equal rights and be treated the same as everyone else in the world but I also want special treatment due to me being a minority and all.
Figured the child mo episode of Different Strokes would have been on the list. Arnold got away but Duddley wasn't so lucky.
Literally why I came here
Before I watch it, that X-Files episode. What a badass piece of TV. EDIT: And there it is. Again, fantastic work. :)
Haven't seen Degrassi in about 10 years but JT should've been in place
Thunda1986 Yeah still sad or when drake hot shot
"Home" left me physically ill.
The controversy on Lexa's death is not just because it's a damaging trope (killing a gay character minutes after consumating their love with their partner) but also because of the queerbaiting that Jason (showrunner) and staff did previously to it.
Ah, the days when queerbaiting initially meant "straight guy lures a gay guy supposedly for sex but ends up beating the shit out of him" instead of "wah wah my ship got sunk".
Just because you want to call it queerbaiting, doesn't make it so.
Miriam Garcia actually he had writers go on safe zone websites and say that lexa wasn't going to die and cause trauma. So that's baiting the fans into watching season 3 all the way to her death which as you know crippled the show.
Ali3ngazer Where. Is. The. Evidence? Burden of proof, baby. You have to back of these assertions you're making. Show me proof that JASON ordered his writers to go to safe zones. I know Shawna Benson was involved, but there's no evidence (unless you know something I don't?) Jason sent her nor were her comments malicious (from what I've read, courtesy of Clexas).
Obviously they weren't going to hand out a spoiler for a yet unaired season. It's dumb to expect them to ruin a huge plot point before the episode's been aired. No showrunners/ writers/ cast members would ever give that kind of info. Also, no one promised she wouldn't die, they just said she was alive which she was because 307 had yet to air.
Ali3ngazer it's on season 5 lol
Seinfeld, racist? WHO KNEW
ShotgunSyntax
not that there’s anything wrong with that 🖐🏾 🤚🏾
(Joking of course tho)
Having sex with Lena whether on TV and in real life should be illegal.
Brandon Kardashian amen!
Brandon Kardashian Who cares ?
Brandon Kardashian why
I doubt you'll ever have to worry about having sex in your lifetime
Brandon Kardashian Right?! Same with Amy Schumer
This is a great list and a look back on history in general. As a 48yo GWM, who was only out to a few people, at 26 when Ellen aired and as kid when Maude aired I remember well the huge impact and discussions they spurred.
On a side note: with media interests and choices so vast now, I wonder if as a culture we will ever again experience such event(s) that have as much of an impact together.
Top 10 most controversial controversies
The cover photo was all I needed to see. That episode scarred me for LIFE!
"Home" It's an X-Files episode. It made it nearly impossible for me to listen to Johnny Mathis again.
I'm puerto rican and i thought that episode of seinfeld was fucking hilarious god people need to realize shows like that shouldn't be taken seriously!!!
The Soprano's had some very controversial episodes. "Employee of the Month", "University", and "Long Term Parking" just to name a few. Surprised that not one single episode wasn't even mentioned in the video, not even honorable mentions.
I agree, make another video of this same topic.
I was going to say every episode of Teen Titans Go, but they said no animated shows on this list, so I guess I'll wait for that list to come out
The 100 was a good enough show, but that wasn't that controversial. They killed a main character off, they were Gay, but as if that had never been done before, Game of Thrones and Walking Dead had already done that, both of which are much more popular than The 100.
The x file episode haunts me to this day...
I loved Buffy. We even named our family dog Anyanka the Vengeance Demon. That was a dark episode fosho
Raise money for LGBT teens because a gay character got killed? What the hell do they need??? The writers did nothing wrong with killing Alexa off and if kids, gay or not, can't handle that then they shouldn't be watching the show in the first place.
that seinfeld episode was HISTORIC....lmao
Watching Sansa go through multiple rapes each night and then still come out strong, but with lingering pain and insecurities, was something I felt showed women we can overcome and that a man destroying you one moment or multiple moments is not your fault.
“Home” actually scared me when I watched it in the dark for the first time. I’m hard to scare too.
It's gotta be the most violently aggressive episode I can think of too. So brutal and grotesque.
How are people saying there running out of ideas on new videos?????
hey mojo..
Can u tell me ? how do you use movies and games trailers without copyright? waiting for ur reply
it should not be controversial Lexa was bound to die if not shot by Titus then it would have been during A.L.I.E in Polis
The rape of Sansa Stark didn't even register compared to the burning of Shireen as far as I'm concerned.
I've seen the x-files home episode, and it was very disturbing
If I remember correctly Fox did re-air "Home" but it was a one time deal. They re-aired it on Halloween in either '99 or '00. They made a big deal about the episode that night that I had to tape it.
Deleted episodes....deleted episodes everywhere
“You know it’s like this every day in Puerto Rico” 🤭😮😬🤣😂
Why is most of these related to LGBT people?
Because they get triggered over everything
Cause they're easy as fuck to offend.
Oh Christ Seinfeld's Puerto Ricans! I don't discriminate I make fun of everybody.
WatchMojo y'all need to cool it with these spooky videos. Thanks
How bout not clicking on them if you don't wanna watch?

LGBT+: "We want equality!!!"
Also LGBT+ "You can't kill us in any movies or TV series."
Lol
Rape, Incest, Skinning Alive, Child Murder, Gore: fine
But Seinfeld depicting a man stomping out a fire on a burning flag: WTF ARE U THINKING!?!?!?
how about effy's rave overdoes in skins???
Or the scene where freddie died
The episode of MASH where Henry dies was considered controversial at the time it was aired.
"for LGBT kids in need after the episode" Jesus Christ it's just a character. Tone it down
