lol You've only scratched the surface:
- *Lexx* : A dead man, a janitor, a sex slave, and robot head fly around the universe in the most advanced spaceship, which happens to look like a dragonfly.
- *Cybersix* : A woman cross-dresses as a man during the day and struggles to find acceptance, but at night she fights a Nazi mad scientist.
- *History* *Bites* : A TV show that approaches pre-1900s history as if talk shows and TV news were there to report/discuss it.
- *Prisoners* *of* *Gravity* : Features interviews with sci fi and fantasy authors, comic book artists, and the like. Each episodes revolves around a theme or trope and the interviews are conducted as if the host is trapped on a space station orbiting Earth.
- *Maniac* *Mansion* : If "The Adams Family" was built around a mad scientist. Supposedly it's based on the video game of the same name.
- *Angela* *Anaconda* : A kid's cartoon with a bizarre, cut-out art style.
I saw the cannibalism and tapeworm episodes of Mr. Meaty on a department store display TV as a kid and thought I imagined the whole thing for years
Can’t imagine seeing that as a child omg ew
You could totally turn this into a series, there’s so many “interesting” canadian shows, especially cartoons. Miss spiders sunny patch friends, mole sisters, George shrinks, seven little monsters, jacob two two, babar, caillou, carl squared, braceface, stoked (made by the creators of 6teen) and so many more
Moving to Canada and being shown so many unhinged Canadian shows has been great. I still to this day am messed up by the Littlest Hobo
it’s funny how many shows we watched in the states were canadian because i’m pretty sure most of us didn’t even realize lol. for whatever reason i was never scared of mr meaty ? i remember liking it even though i was EXTREMELY easy to scare as a child ??
some of the dialogue from tdi was censored in the us! i didn’t know this bc i’m american and all available (legal) versions of the show that i could watch had the american dialogue, but in my older teen years i rewatched it on youtube and saw a lot of the original dialogue. some risqué exchanges were watered down for the US. specifically i remember harold’s love letters to lashawna said she had “a booty as luscious as an apple” in the canadian, and that line was changed to “a kick butt attitude like mine” for the US! great video, i remember some of these shows and loved learning abt the others!
I didn’t know that Canadian TV Shows were unhinged, but I’m ready to learn
As a kid, one of my favorite canadian tv shows was Stickin' Around. I really liked how the artstyle makes it look like a kid's drawing. It also hits home in the weirdness factor, considering there was a character who dragged her dog around on a leash, refusing to acknowledge that it was dead.
A couple other shows i remember were This is Daniel cook and This is Emily Yeung, The Secret World of Benjamin Bear, and Survive This
This is super interesting, Canada has some of the freest censorship laws so banned media is basically non existent here from what I've read, even the US which doesn't usually ban things anymore does censor a lot in some places. Didn't really watch many canadian shows after I turned about 6 but some of the CBC kids programming has stuck with me for one reason or another, namely the Doodlebops and the big comfy couch which I can't speak for the content for but had some interesting character designs. Shoutout to Atomic Betty for being a pseudo-magical girl, the atomic betty to madoka magica pipeline is real.
I loved Atomic Betty💗
Well.. i would dig a part 2 😅. My favorite canadian shows where "the odessy" watching it as an adult showed me just how much i missed in it as a youngin. Todays special... it was fun. I dont know if you remember "Zed". Would vome on cbc late on the weekends. Of artists indie work.. i used to love that show. I kiss when canada tv would bleed over to the us. Trailer park boys was a good time! I didnt know it went on as along as it did. Thanks for sharing these gems.
This gave me a massive flood of nostalgia, I'm remembering all the insanely weird shows I'd watch as a kid, like Ripping Friends, Mega Babies, Angela Anaconda, the list goes on...Personally I'd love a part 2! As a neat side note, my aunt actually worked a bit on Life with Derek, though I forget what exactly her role was...
This was a neat topic! Great video❤
7:57 a LOT of random bits of dialogue were censored in the American run of TDI, ranging from Lindsay's absolute smackdown of Heather which was a long bleep in the Canadian run and something like "selfish, mean, no-good, bully of a girl" in the American version, to flippant things like the word "stupid" often being changed to "foolish" - my brothers and I would actually go online and watch the Canadian releases of the episodes because we thought they were funnier.
Totally forgot about 6Teen! Had no idea 6Teen and TDI were Canadian shows. Would love to see some true unhinged Canadian TV for sure!
I think the most unhinged moment of 6Teen for the US was the fact it premiered with the zombie Halloween episode
ahh this was such a great video, i didn't even know about half of these despite living here!! i would looove to see a part 2. shoutout to mamma yamma ❤
oh and if youre going to do a part 2 please include big top academy, a fairly recent kids show about children attending a circus academy and there's also magic. and instead of oh my god they say 'oh my circus'
I would love to see more of these.
you’re quickly becoming one of my favourite channels on here, like your content is sooop creative
I grew up mostly with Canadian shows, especially Teletoon.
I never realized they were "risque". It's pretty tame, as tame as the Simpsons. However, I remember being disgusted by a scene from Ren and Stimpy (The one where Ren got bitten by a mosquito), it's worse than anything shown in any of our "unhinged" Canadian shows.
Great video! As an elder millennial American I only remember half these shows. I didn't even realize Mr. Meaty was Canadian.
i love your channel!❤️
i remember building one of those nickelodeon slime volcano sets while watching mr meaty and my dad was watching me in absolute horror at the horrific spectacle of it all
Love your vids
id love to see a part two!
Well done! Thank you!
Also I'm always down for more vids about weird and obscure television and other media so if there are any shows you want to dive into in the future please do so
mr meaty and 6teen were pivotal series to my developing mind and i have yet to recover
glad you found the 'do you ever watch pornos?' clip lol
I’ve recently been rewatching 6teen (as an American) and it’s an absolute forgotten favorite. I never realized it was made by the TDI team until a few years ago, but they were both childhood necessities.
Missed opportunity to include kenny vs spenny.
10:20 is what listening to Bjork feels like
The mention of Mr Meaty and the tapeworm made me think abt that tapeworm episode from TPB and :'''') horrifying
THAT WAS NOT POUTINE WHAT WAS THAT CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
I’d watch more of these too
Have you seen Naturally, Sadie?
That was a really good video great work! But I feel like you missed the weirdest and most unhinged Canadian show that was shown before the national news on cbc. Kenny vs Spenny
Very interesting look at some shows. I don't mind weird shows. I like the Soup Opera French food (veg and fruit usually) stop motion shorts (took me a bit to uncover that and remember it was a thing) even.
Many countries have their good and odd but interesting shows. Canada has some good animated shows even if the dialogue may be what it is in certain ones Canadian or American.
I don't watch TV anymore of course and I forget a few but still an interesting look.
I think I saw some via ABC or so during certain blocks but don't remember enough about them. Other than that the odd Disney shows but usually ABC had the Canadian animated shows on them or Aussie or New Zealand kids animated or live action shows.
6teen heard other Canadian RUclipsrs cover but hadn't heard of the others you covered. They seem pretty interesting even for being odd I think that's the charm in some ways.
Babe wake up, New Randy Moon just dropped
ed edd & eddy was my weird canadian cartoon growing up
Omg nanalan what a classic
8:22 This from the new season that got leaked
great vid as always but I just noticed your profile pic is anakin rizzwalker,, such a good pick tbh
very cool
I think much music probably had enough weird shit around this time to fill its own video
had not heard about the toddler total drama island. that's very weird. og total drama was good though I think. as for other canadian shows, I think immediately of detentionaire, which I really liked. probably deserves a rewatch from me sometime. criminal that no one I talk to ever knows about detentionaire
Oh yeah there, ey?
As a Michigan citizen, I hope to one day be recognized as an honorary Canadian 😂🇨🇦 (TRAILER PARK BOYS THE GOAT)
only if you're UP
@@calebcalvin *gulp* uh
@@kylehockenberry2646 🤣
Where's ed edd n Eddy??
as a hardcore weeaboot, this topic is extremely relevant to my interests. some of those shows that only exist because of the cancon laws are next level. shouts out to twitch city
is weeaboot like a weeaboo but for canada? i’ve never heard the term before and i’m obsessed
@@randymoon i'm ushering it in

You are very quickly becoming my favorite person, what kind of fucking sorcery is this
