The Commenter Dragon I watched those episodes a thousand times at the age of 6-7-8 and I wasnt scared I mean those episodes ARE scary but they aint scared me
@@kirstengodfrey8830 im 26 & still watch it all the time. i bought the powerpuff bluff dvd from amazon & it just came last week. i just watched it again last night. i’d never seen this whole episode till last month but b4 that i found the part where the professor kicks him out & the part where he sacrifices himself 4 them. it’s sooooooo sad when he cries & says “i love u” when the knockoffs take him away :( blossom was my favorite character when i was little but now he is. hes such a kick-ass dad
That Bastard, Him, has gotten under the skin of the Powerpuff Girls so many times. That make me go Full Rage. I’m going to use a lot of Freeze Ray Power on Him to teach that jerk a lesson never get under the Powerpuffs’ skin. You know the Cold is Him’s biggest weakness, right?
What kind of candies are they anyway ? They look like gumballs or jawbreakers. Anyway, no wonder the Professor forbids them to have any candy and I wish Miss Bellum was in this episode to tell the Mayor that it wasn't a good idea to give them.
I thought that episode had a lot of juxtaposition. The juxtaposition really fell into place when the girls create Bunny. Who's appearance contrasts greatly to that of blossom, bubbles and buttercup. Also more juxtaposition comes into play when the girls don't teach bunny how to properly be a powerpuff girl. Flash foward to the end when bunny breaks up chemically, bubbles says her, blossom and buttercup were the ones who were bad while bunny was good. At first i didn't understand it but after really thinking about it and deconstructing it in my head, i realized that the girls were in fact bad in that episode. If they had just done what they were supposed to do as superheroes instead of create someone else to do their work for them, then they would not have been bad.
Definitely one of the creepiest episodes imo I still remember it from when I was a kid especially how obsessed he was to a disturbing degree With little girls in KINDERGARTEN mind you 😨
Personally, I prefer the original version to the reboot. I freaked out when I was a child watching such dark episodes thanks to Him for making such terrifying moments. Bunny was the most tragic episode to remember
@JT Watts yeah. Bunny's death was so sad. Bunny didn't know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys because for example she assumed that the police officers had guns pointed at the criminals, Bunny thought that the officers were going to shoot and kill the criminals with their guns.
@@talimbeingaverythriftyghor5967 They raced home from school, they flew so fast they time-travelled to the future, and in that future HIM had taken over Townsville because the girls weren't there to stop him. It was a creepy episode.
He is asking "what happened that the girls had to flee". So let me explain, Him already won, he enslaved the population of the globe and now he is the sole ruler, even if the girls manage to defeat him he still won so the girls fly into space and then they race back on Earth thus returning back in time, preventing Him in destroying the world. So the girls' only option at that point was to flee.
If that was the case they why wasn't the first rowdy ruff boys episode posted? They two died on screen via explosion right after the girls kissed them.
Mistress Kixen - because the boys were evil and laughed when they defeated the powerpuff girls the first round, Bunny was a misunderstood hero who died saving her sisters/mothers. For the RRB episode ended with justified normal saving the day stuff, in the Bunny episode ended with the girls sitting under a streetlight alone realizing what they had done and were filled with regret. Not saying the RRB episode wasn’t dark, but at the same time there was nothing too much to be considered a dark episode to most people. Especially since the RRB do come back in later seasons, while Bunny remains dead.
@@irkenpony17 I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that this episode actually gave each of the girls a kill count something they never had prior to this. Then there is the fact that in a previous episode Blossom when she thought they killed someone literally said it was never alright to kill a person no matter how bad they were (roach coach episode) yet here we have them killing the boys via a kiss. While the killing of the boys was overlooked due to them being evil the very fact that the girls actually killed them and killed for the first time was the reason why I felt this episode was not only dark but should have been mentioned on the list.
@@mistresskixen6142 The way they die was just silly which is why it doesn't feel dark. All the girls did was just kiss them, and then the boys exploded. Besides what exactly are the girls supposed to do about them? The boys have the same powers as them and even appear to be a bit more powerful, they can't lock them up, obviously. Which is why they're trying to find new ways to get rid of them after HIM relived them.
@@daniellloyd180 i liked mojo jojo as well. However on the list of dark episodes here is one they missed. The pilot episode aka the very first episode that started it all was also pretty dark in the end as well.
And despite the reception Bunny got, the reboot introduced a different "fourth" sister, Bliss. You'd think the creators would have learned their lesson.
See, this confirms my suspicion that despite being family friendly and filled with good life lessons and morals, this show got extremely dark and deep even for a kids show. And this makes me think that even though it was initially designed for kids, adults can watch it and not only receive an enormous amount of nostalgia, but be able to see all of the themes and ideological codes being represented in each episode. Which is why it stands as one of my all time favorite shows from my childhood.
@@lessismore8533 Well, it's also because back when the original was airing, Cartoon Network was not afraid to have their cartoons have dark moments or even humor that nowadays would be seen as kid-unfriendly (Cow & Chicken's brand of humor would never fly today). Now, granted stuff afterwards did have some dark moments (Adventure Time and Steven Universe, for example), but the original PPG was back when Cartoon Network was good, as it had a mix of classic and newer cartoons.
@@awesomegirl5190 That show was complete garbage. The person who gave the green light to put live action on a network that was supposed to be 100% cartoons should have been fired on day one.
When I was little, I used to think Blossom’s dream was the least scariest, but as a teenager watching it is utterly horrifying to be brought down like that. :( By the way I’m talking about 5:46 lmao
I didn't even know Collect Her episode was supposed to be Dark. It just felt like another, "Heroes in danger", kind of episode I see in every superhero show
The dangers of collecting. I hate to bring this up but even Teen Titans Go brought up how dangerous collecting can be. Commercialism and peer pressure = an unreasonable mind

@@XJIcequeen plus, a middle aged man obessed over three girls? That's just creepy.
One thing that wasn't touched on in speed demon was that the Powerpuff Girls were racing home because they were going away for a week on a cruise. When they went through seeing what happened when they left for 50 years they refused to go on the cruise once they returned to their present time and essentially were afraid of ever taking a vacation again. Real emotional scarring. No breaks, ladies 😒
Remember that one episode where the girls tried a simulation room where they fought virtual giant monsters and bubbles just went full on hardcore because she was called out for being weak. I still remember how badass it was when she wiped blood away from her mouth and beat the crap out of the monsters.
That speed demon episode where they travelled into the future still sends shivers down my spine, goddamn if there was ever a great villan 'HIM' was just perfect.
Craze961 I remember seeing that when I was 4 and being ok. I had returned fro my birthday party and they were airing a marathon of all their old cartoons before they stopped reruns
I loved "Blame it on the Boogie!" As a kid. My personal favorite episode. (Yes I know that isn't the name of the episode. I mean that I loved the mantra. )
I'm a bit surprised "Mime for a Change" was not in the list considering the girls beat up Rainbow the Clown at the end *after* he was transformed back into a good guy. Of course, that doesn't forgive him for his crimes. But it was still a controversial episode to many viewers.
Yeah, that was actually the episode that made me question a lot of the Powerpuff Girls' decisions throughout the cartoon. As a kid I absolutely loved this show but the clown episode just left me so infuriated that couldn't wholeheartedly enjoy any other episode that came after
Personally, that doesn’t bug me too much. I even find it kind of funny because the girls obviously didn’t realize that Rainbow wasn’t responsible for his actions when hit with the bleach, and the fact that it came after that whole “La, la, la love” song made it ironically hilarious to me. However, I do think that episode was the first instance of the writers really loving to do episodes with warped Aesops and occasionally had the girls fall into giving disproportionate retribution, which was fine to me if they played it off as a lighthearted joke at the end with the girls and the other characters laughing it off, the girls and the other characters being unaware of the needless suffering they were causing, or the the girls and other characters having pure intentions in episodes with their unorthodox methods like in “Mime for A Change,” “PowerProf.,” “Ploys R’ Us,” “Child Fearing,” “Major Competition,” “Hot Air Buffoon,” “Tough Love,” “Him Diddle Riddle,” and “Mommy Fearest.” I think the writing for the girls was just exceedingly cruel and self-aware in the nightmare fuel twists and warped Aesops they created in episodes like “Moral Decay,” “Gettin’ Twiggy With It,” “Slave The Day,” and “Dream Scheme,” though.
@@Schoolgirl325 Also in the episode "A Very Special Blossom" Blossom broke into Mojo Jojo's place while he wasn't being evil, beat him up, kidnapped him, and pretended he was to blame for the stolen golf clubs. Cruel to him, but funny to the viewers.
@@Evieteresa I mean, I could understand people taking it that way, but Blossom didn’t get away with framing Mojo for stealing the clubs. She got caught, and sentenced to 200 hours of community service. If anything, I think the only character in the episode “A Very Special Blossom” that was kind of OOC was Professor Utonium. He’s so obsessed with these pro golf clubs that he brushes off Bubbles’ and Buttercup’s completely reasonable questions about where and how she got the clubs with “who cares,” but at the very least, he realized his inadvertent role in putting pressure on Blossom to steal the clubs for him as a gift to make him happy on Father’s Day at the end, and admits to some guilt. In “Moral Decay,” Buttercup gets away with secretly collecting money from the tooth fairy for at least a week by knocking out the teeth of villains, including eight who are doing nothing wrong. Then, when Blossom and Bubbles finally figure out what Buttercup has been up to from Mojo, they arrange to let them hold the Mayor hostage in his office, so they can lure Buttercup to the museum to get her most of her teeth knocked out by every villain in the city to teach her a lesson for her crimes, and the episode ends with Professor Utonium forcing Buttercup to pay her dental bills with her stash of dirty money. Granted, he had every reason to be disappointed in her, and he had every right to punish her. However, Professor Utonium not expressing more concern and sympathy for Buttercup’s downfall was the most painfully and ridiculously OOC he has ever been in the series. I know he was kind of harsh on Buttercup in “Down ‘n’ Dirty” when he kicked her out after she told him to do it if he and her sisters couldn’t stand to be around her when she had become unbearably smelly after refusing to bathe for a few days to a week, but in that scenario there wasn’t much else Professor Utonium could do to convince his stubborn little tomboy with superpowers that she had to bathe. He doesn’t have superpowers, so he couldn’t force her. I wish he had maybe tried talking to her a bit more before doing it, but within the context of “Down ‘n’ Dirty,” I think that punishment of throwing Buttercup out with nothing when she had become unbearably smelly after refusing to bathe, was a reasonable scare tactic to convince her to cave in to his rules, which she did like a day later anyway. I didn’t get the sense that it was a long-term or permanent thing. In “Moral Decay,” though, there’s really no good excuse as to why Professor Utonium shouldn’t have noticed Buttercup’s secretly shady behavior and choices that led to her downfall over the course of at least a week. Nor do I think it is at all in character for him to be that inattentive as a parent, but even if that was required for the sake of this horrible plot, what is just very atrociously and inexcusably OOC is his non-reaction to Buttercup’s downfall at the end as a result of her crimes. He failed to notice what was going on sooner and put a stop to it before her greed got her hurt. Professor Utonium doesn’t even seem to feel bad for that? That’s really the most wildly OOC his characterization has ever been in the classic cartoon. Professor Utonium had always shown concern for the girls when they were hurt or in danger on every other occasion..In just the previous episode of “PowerProf.” before “Moral Decay,” Professor Utonium forced Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to wear helmets, elbow-pads, and knee-pads to go and fight Mojo Jojo when he was fighting crime with them, even though he knew they had superpowers that made them nearly invincible children, who were capable of taking care of themselves, and surviving. In In “Uh Oh, Dynamo,” “Knock It Off,” “Collect Her,” and “Film Flam,” he showed the same protective Papa wolf side. He loved his kids, and he was always concerned about their safety, sometimes to the point of overdoing it. Now, it is never made explicitly clear that Blossom and Bubbles told Professor Utonium that THEY were the ones who specifically arranged for Buttercup to get her comeuppance from the villains, though they obviously did tell him what she did and why she got beat up. At best, you could assume that he thinks Buttercup got her comeuppance in a cruel twist of fate as consequences for her bad choices, and that’s why Blossom and Bubbles aren’t being punished too. That being said, the fact that Professor Utonium, who is generally portrayed as being very concerned and protective of his girls pwell-being in the classic cartoon, sometimes to the point of overdoing it, doesn’t seem to feel very concerned or sorry about Buttercup’s injuries at the end of “Moral Decay,” and the fact that her sisters aren’t punished for selling her out, implies very unfortunate things that made me feel uncomfortable. I just cannot believe that Craig McCracken would treat his main family of heroes in classic PPG with so much contempt in that episode by completely betraying everything about them that made them an otherwise adorable, happy, and positive family on the show because, apparently, he and Lauren Faust didn’t know how to write a Buttercup centric where she wasn’t the black sheep the world was against in some way. Yeah, I usually let it go because it wasn’t too offensive to forgive, but with something as being so against the character and the core theme of family as the “Moral Decay” Buttercup centric, I couldn’t condone that sort of writing, which is why I’m glad the show pretty much just pretended it NEVER happened afterwards, anyway. I know Buttercup is a super-powered child in an over-the-top cartoon satire with characters easily and fully recovering from getting horribly beaten up all the time. I know she wasn’t in any REAL life-threatening, or permanently debilitating physical danger in that beating from the villains. I knew her sisters and Professor Utonium knew that too. She had baby teeth knocked out, so they’ll grow back, and if you notice at the dentist’s office in the waiting room, it’s ONLY her TEETH that have taken any sort of physical damage, which suggests that Blossom and Bubbles wouldn’t let the villains do anything worse to her. However, it still looked needlessly and uncharacteristically bad for Blossom and Bubbles to sell Buttercup out like that, then revel in her suffering, and it looked very needlessly and uncharacteristically bad to make it look like Professor Utonium didn’t even seem to feel bad that she got hurt as a result of the shady behavior Buttercup engaged in behind his back that he failed to notice and put a stop to before it was too late and she got hurt. It felt like the writers really had something against Buttercup’s character in “Moral Decay” or something….
@@Schoolgirl325 That "Moral Decay" episode always bothered me as a kid for the very reasons you said, especially Buttercup's story arc and treatment. I re-watched "A Very Special Blossom" recently and, viewing it now as an adult, the Professor's response to Blossom's gift and casual dismissal of the other girls' breakfast and complaints/questioning seemed OOC to an extreme level. I already thought his bubble self (in Blossom's thoughts when she was preparing to steal the golf clubs) was acting odd, like, why would Blossom ever think he would act in such a way as to encourage stealing? So seeing that his reaction later was *real* and not imagined was very unexpected; it seemed more appropriate for a best case scenario dream sequence Blossom would have where she was viewed as the 'favorite child,' and then wake up and help her sisters prepare his birthday breakfast of liver and onions.
All Chalked Up? I didn't think that was really all that dark. The butterfly version of Him was creepy because it had his face, but the monsters themselves were just...monsters. And they were defeated just by having happy things drawn on them. There was a book version of the episode written with lots of changes, but the method Bubbles uses to save the playground is the same (I think the book might have come first, because all the other PPG books I've read had stories that weren't episodes - one had Him coming to Pokey Oakes when the girls were seeing the dentist, and throwing this powder over Ms Keane that gradually turned her into first the Teacher from Hell, and then a monster, and the other one had the girls invite their class to a Dress-Like-The-Villain-You-Want-To-Beat-Up-Most party when one child was too awed by them to invite them to his birthday party - he did at the end - and half the real villains showed up).
The she’s hardcore sound from tiktok actually has audio from hat episode which fades into a mumble rap song. I hate it but the part I come for is the Powerpuff Girls
While the lesson of this episode sucked that wasn't why it was dark. The fact that him killed all the other villains, as well as the people of townsville effectively blaming them causing them to become traumatized is what made it dark.
This is one of those moments where you only remember specific scenes from certain episodes during childhood but once you see them again lost memories instantly come flooding back 🤩
I watched practically all those episodes when I was a kid. I don’t remember seeing a single Powerpuff Girls episode that was pleasant to watch. I only saw a few
The Professor's roommate bears a striking resemblance to Kip Snip, right down to the glasses, blonde hair, and ponytail-- a one-time villain from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which shares its creator with The Powerpuff Girls.
Honestly, I feel like Bliss was technically the first Powerpuff girl, because she actually came *before* Bunny. Also, I like the reboot, pls don’t get pissed off of my opinion.
Gosh I LOVED this show as a kid, but I definitely remember how freaky and dark some of the episodes were. This was just a huge reminder of it. 90s kids cartoons didn't mess around!!!
@@zacharyyamashita8554 you mean the one in which he says "The professor will pay!" (i think he says that, i watched the show with hispanic language because i'm from Argentina) i assume, yeah, it wasn't dark, but it was uncomforting, the narrator was basically absent and the ending was very anticlimatic
SPEED DEMON!!! And this is for KIDS?! I had nightmares because of this episode! I can't believe they could make such dark and creepy episodes in a kids show!
Speed Demon and Power-Noia scared me to the bone as a child while Twisted Sister made me cry immensely. Collect Her really creeped me out because of the way Lenny Baxter kidnapped the girls and stuffed them into little boxes so he could make them as as “part of his collection”. Knock It Off, on the other hand, made my blood boil because of the way Dick Hardly was portrayed. He is by far the most darkest and evilest character of all of the Powerpuff Girls characters made in the show. And it was due to his excessive greediness, laziness, lack of remorse, lack of empathy, and his coldheartedness to his employees and his creations. And because of how he was portrayed, he nearly got the girls killed when he tried to drain the Chemical X out of them so he could continue his twisted demand. He was a complete monster both inside and out.
@@trans-dragonroger1948I see your point, but it's still a headcanon made by people who consider every man with some stereotypically feminine attributes and every woman with some stereotypically masculine attributes as a transgender person.
The City of Frownsville was dedicated to the Manhattan Firefighter: Orio Joseph Palmer. He died when the World Trade Center collapse on September 11, 2001. It's the most saddest episode and it reminds me of the 9/11 attack.
These episodes would be problematic to air on Cartoon Network today, maybe more suited when children are asleep (i.e. at night) and an on-screen warning.
not surprising that HIM is responsible for more than one of these episodes
Well he is suppose to be the worst
It makes me mad that we never got a sequel to the powerpuff girls movie were HIM would be the main villain.
I'm shocked that evil Octy only got an honorable mention, that episode spooked me bad when I was little!

@@sonicthehedgehog1606 well I feel sorry for you that you didn't grow up with the original
I couldn't agree more
Very, very true.
Narrator: *(cries)* GO TO COMMERCIAL!!!!
Honestly HIM was the strongest villain, even stronger than Mojo Jojo
He pretty much was the devil himself.
But, hey! Mojo Jojo will still be my favourite, next to HIM.
Him was the ultimate evil so that goes without saying.
@@mistresskixen6142 Maybe so, but I still prefer Mojo for, well, obvious reasons.
@@daniellloyd180 i liked mojo jojo as well. However on the list of dark episodes here is one they missed. The pilot episode aka the very first episode that started it all was also pretty dark in the end as well.
Professor Utonium's angry face in Tough Love was very scary.
It made me want to shit on myself and cry
Imagine being forced to beat your father until he is unconscious. Him was pretty freaking evil more so than the other villians.
@@PearlFirexx I used to think HIM was actually the devil
You ain't kidding.
That scared me so bad as a kid!!!!!!
"I don't know how I watched any of these as a kid and came out alright."
SAME
And despite the reception Bunny got, the reboot introduced a different "fourth" sister, Bliss. You'd think the creators would have learned their lesson.
The person who made the reboot isn't the same who made the original.
Bunny >>>>> Bliss
Atleast Bliss is not chemicly unstable•>•
The reason Bunny was so poorly received is because she was seen as an offensive caricature of the mentally disabled
@@konan7002 Oh
See, this confirms my suspicion that despite being family friendly and filled with good life lessons and morals, this show got extremely dark and deep even for a kids show. And this makes me think that even though it was initially designed for kids, adults can watch it and not only receive an enormous amount of nostalgia, but be able to see all of the themes and ideological codes being represented in each episode. Which is why it stands as one of my all time favorite shows from my childhood.
Agree PPG is a classic! No wonder 2016 PPG went extremely light
@@lessismore8533 Well, it's also because back when the original was airing, Cartoon Network was not afraid to have their cartoons have dark moments or even humor that nowadays would be seen as kid-unfriendly (Cow & Chicken's brand of humor would never fly today).
Now, granted stuff afterwards did have some dark moments (Adventure Time and Steven Universe, for example), but the original PPG was back when Cartoon Network was good, as it had a mix of classic and newer cartoons.
I had a feeling that Speed Demon would had taken the cake on this one and yes it is still the undisputed darkest of them all.
Yes..
Poor Bunny. Such a misunderstood character. :(
what hurts me the most its that blossom bubbles and buttercup couldn't apologize to her before passing away
Powerpuff girls is one of those cartoon network shows that I really enjoyed a lot second to ed edd n eddy or johnny bravo
The early 2000s had a really good lineup of cartoons in general; not only on CN but Nickelodeon, Disney, etc.
Don't forget Dexter and Courage
Don't forget The Hole in the Wall
@@awesomegirl5190
That show was complete garbage. The person who gave the green light to put live action on a network that was supposed to be 100% cartoons should have been fired on day one.
awesomegirl5 It’s fine
When I was little, I used to think Blossom’s dream was the least scariest, but as a teenager watching it is utterly horrifying to be brought down like that. :(
By the way I’m talking about 5:46 lmao
I didn't even know Collect Her episode was supposed to be Dark. It just felt like another, "Heroes in danger", kind of episode I see in every superhero show
The dangers of collecting. I hate to bring this up but even Teen Titans Go brought up how dangerous collecting can be. Commercialism and peer pressure = an unreasonable mind
@@XJIcequeen plus, a middle aged man obessed over three girls? That's just creepy.
Agustin Camejo yeah. That too
@ that was probably why it made the list.
Me too!
One thing that wasn't touched on in speed demon was that the Powerpuff Girls were racing home because they were going away for a week on a cruise. When they went through seeing what happened when they left for 50 years they refused to go on the cruise once they returned to their present time and essentially were afraid of ever taking a vacation again. Real emotional scarring. No breaks, ladies 😒
They deserve breaks
You'd think between bullet, the professors power suit and all the other heros they recruited they'd be able to book a day off
Remember that one episode where the girls tried a simulation room where they fought virtual giant monsters and bubbles just went full on hardcore because she was called out for being weak. I still remember how badass it was when she wiped blood away from her mouth and beat the crap out of the monsters.
Yeah, that was nominated for the Emmy in Outstanding Individual Achievement In Animation. It won the following year with "Twisted Sister/Cover Up".
I’m literally watching that episode rn
I think the episode was called “Bubblevicious”
@@sharax763 Correct it was “Bubblevicious”
Some say Bubbles was the strongest of the three. Her powers were just hold back from her sensitive and innocent personality.
That speed demon episode where they travelled into the future still sends shivers down my spine, goddamn if there was ever a great villan 'HIM' was just perfect.
When I tell you I BALLED like a baby when Bunny exploded as a kid, that'd be an understatement of my childhood ;-;
Craze961 I remember seeing that when I was 4 and being ok. I had returned fro my birthday party and they were airing a marathon of all their old cartoons before they stopped reruns
The darkest powerpuff girl episodes....every episode with Him in it.
OG PowerPuff Girls is FOREVA!!!! Can you guys pretty please make a Top 10 list about Charlotte York from Sex & the City!?
Yassss please!
“Everyone needs a goodnight’s sleep”
It’s literally 1:04 Am.
HIM's voice is just so creepy ngl
I remember that even as a kid Speed Demon scared the hell out of me
I loved "Blame it on the Boogie!" As a kid. My personal favorite episode. (Yes I know that isn't the name of the episode. I mean that I loved the mantra. )
I think you were referring to 'Boogie Frights' and there was a Star Wars reference.
Kids these days couldn’t even cope with we saw growing up. Courage, Ed Edd n Eddy, even dexters lab had disturbing episodes
Courage was scary
Let's not forget that one episode of Kids Next Door with the ghost hamsters.
Courage the cowardly dog had some terrifying episodes, I dont how I didnt have nightmares
oh please. kids these days are exposed to much worse things on the internet way earlier than any other generation before them...
@S but the 2-7years old parents exposed to some stuff and lots of parents are strict to protect their kids from messed up tv like this
I'm a bit surprised "Mime for a Change" was not in the list considering the girls beat up Rainbow the Clown at the end *after* he was transformed back into a good guy. Of course, that doesn't forgive him for his crimes. But it was still a controversial episode to many viewers.
Yeah, that was actually the episode that made me question a lot of the Powerpuff Girls' decisions throughout the cartoon.
As a kid I absolutely loved this show but the clown episode just left me so infuriated that couldn't wholeheartedly enjoy any other episode that came after
Personally, that doesn’t bug me too much. I even find it kind of funny because the girls obviously didn’t realize that Rainbow wasn’t responsible for his actions when hit with the bleach, and the fact that it came after that whole “La, la, la love” song made it ironically hilarious to me. However, I do think that episode was the first instance of the writers really loving to do episodes with warped Aesops and occasionally had the girls fall into giving disproportionate retribution, which was fine to me if they played it off as a lighthearted joke at the end with the girls and the other characters laughing it off, the girls and the other characters being unaware of the needless suffering they were causing, or the the girls and other characters having pure intentions in episodes with their unorthodox methods like in “Mime for A Change,” “PowerProf.,” “Ploys R’ Us,” “Child Fearing,” “Major Competition,” “Hot Air Buffoon,” “Tough Love,” “Him Diddle Riddle,” and “Mommy Fearest.”
I think the writing for the girls was just exceedingly cruel and self-aware in the nightmare fuel twists and warped Aesops they created in episodes like “Moral Decay,” “Gettin’ Twiggy With It,” “Slave The Day,” and “Dream Scheme,” though.
@@Schoolgirl325 Also in the episode "A Very Special Blossom" Blossom broke into Mojo Jojo's place while he wasn't being evil, beat him up, kidnapped him, and pretended he was to blame for the stolen golf clubs. Cruel to him, but funny to the viewers.
@@Evieteresa I mean, I could understand people taking it that way, but Blossom didn’t get away with framing Mojo for stealing the clubs. She got caught, and sentenced to 200 hours of community service. If anything, I think the only character in the episode “A Very Special Blossom” that was kind of OOC was Professor Utonium. He’s so obsessed with these pro golf clubs that he brushes off Bubbles’ and Buttercup’s completely reasonable questions about where and how she got the clubs with “who cares,” but at the very least, he realized his inadvertent role in putting pressure on Blossom to steal the clubs for him as a gift to make him happy on Father’s Day at the end, and admits to some guilt.
In “Moral Decay,” Buttercup gets away with secretly collecting money from the tooth fairy for at least a week by knocking out the teeth of villains, including eight who are doing nothing wrong. Then, when Blossom and Bubbles finally figure out what Buttercup has been up to from Mojo, they arrange to let them hold the Mayor hostage in his office, so they can lure Buttercup to the museum to get her most of her teeth knocked out by every villain in the city to teach her a lesson for her crimes, and the episode ends with Professor Utonium forcing Buttercup to pay her dental bills with her stash of dirty money. Granted, he had every reason to be disappointed in her, and he had every right to punish her. However, Professor Utonium not expressing more concern and sympathy for Buttercup’s downfall was the most painfully and ridiculously OOC he has ever been in the series. I know he was kind of harsh on Buttercup in “Down ‘n’ Dirty” when he kicked her out after she told him to do it if he and her sisters couldn’t stand to be around her when she had become unbearably smelly after refusing to bathe for a few days to a week, but in that scenario there wasn’t much else Professor Utonium could do to convince his stubborn little tomboy with superpowers that she had to bathe. He doesn’t have superpowers, so he couldn’t force her. I wish he had maybe tried talking to her a bit more before doing it, but within the context of “Down ‘n’ Dirty,” I think that punishment of throwing Buttercup out with nothing when she had become unbearably smelly after refusing to bathe, was a reasonable scare tactic to convince her to cave in to his rules, which she did like a day later anyway. I didn’t get the sense that it was a long-term or permanent thing.
In “Moral Decay,” though, there’s really no good excuse as to why Professor Utonium shouldn’t have noticed Buttercup’s secretly shady behavior and choices that led to her downfall over the course of at least a week. Nor do I think it is at all in character for him to be that inattentive as a parent, but even if that was required for the sake of this horrible plot, what is just very atrociously and inexcusably OOC is his non-reaction to Buttercup’s downfall at the end as a result of her crimes. He failed to notice what was going on sooner and put a stop to it before her greed got her hurt. Professor Utonium doesn’t even seem to feel bad for that?
That’s really the most wildly OOC his characterization has ever been in the classic cartoon. Professor Utonium had always shown concern for the girls when they were hurt or in danger on every other occasion..In just the previous episode of “PowerProf.” before “Moral Decay,” Professor Utonium forced Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to wear helmets, elbow-pads, and knee-pads to go and fight Mojo Jojo when he was fighting crime with them, even though he knew they had superpowers that made them nearly invincible children, who were capable of taking care of themselves, and surviving. In In “Uh Oh, Dynamo,” “Knock It Off,” “Collect Her,” and “Film Flam,” he showed the same protective Papa wolf side. He loved his kids, and he was always concerned about their safety, sometimes to the point of overdoing it.
Now, it is never made explicitly clear that Blossom and Bubbles told Professor Utonium that THEY were the ones who specifically arranged for Buttercup to get her comeuppance from the villains, though they obviously did tell him what she did and why she got beat up. At best, you could assume that he thinks Buttercup got her comeuppance in a cruel twist of fate as consequences for her bad choices, and that’s why Blossom and Bubbles aren’t being punished too.
That being said, the fact that Professor Utonium, who is generally portrayed as being very concerned and protective of his girls pwell-being in the classic cartoon, sometimes to the point of overdoing it, doesn’t seem to feel very concerned or sorry about Buttercup’s injuries at the end of “Moral Decay,” and the fact that her sisters aren’t punished for selling her out, implies very unfortunate things that made me feel uncomfortable.
I just cannot believe that Craig McCracken would treat his main family of heroes in classic PPG with so much contempt in that episode by completely betraying everything about them that made them an otherwise adorable, happy, and positive family on the show because, apparently, he and Lauren Faust didn’t know how to write a Buttercup centric where she wasn’t the black sheep the world was against in some way.
Yeah, I usually let it go because it wasn’t too offensive to forgive, but with something as being so against the character and the core theme of family as the “Moral Decay” Buttercup centric, I couldn’t condone that sort of writing, which is why I’m glad the show pretty much just pretended it NEVER happened afterwards, anyway.
I know Buttercup is a super-powered child in an over-the-top cartoon satire with characters easily and fully recovering from getting horribly beaten up all the time. I know she wasn’t in any REAL life-threatening, or permanently debilitating physical danger in that beating from the villains. I knew her sisters and Professor Utonium knew that too. She had baby teeth knocked out, so they’ll grow back, and if you notice at the dentist’s office in the waiting room, it’s ONLY her TEETH that have taken any sort of physical damage, which suggests that Blossom and Bubbles wouldn’t let the villains do anything worse to her. However, it still looked needlessly and uncharacteristically bad for Blossom and Bubbles to sell Buttercup out like that, then revel in her suffering, and it looked very needlessly and uncharacteristically bad to make it look like Professor Utonium didn’t even seem to feel bad that she got hurt as a result of the shady behavior Buttercup engaged in behind his back that he failed to notice and put a stop to before it was too late and she got hurt.
It felt like the writers really had something against Buttercup’s character in “Moral Decay” or something….
@@Schoolgirl325 That "Moral Decay" episode always bothered me as a kid for the very reasons you said, especially Buttercup's story arc and treatment. I re-watched "A Very Special Blossom" recently and, viewing it now as an adult, the Professor's response to Blossom's gift and casual dismissal of the other girls' breakfast and complaints/questioning seemed OOC to an extreme level. I already thought his bubble self (in Blossom's thoughts when she was preparing to steal the golf clubs) was acting odd, like, why would Blossom ever think he would act in such a way as to encourage stealing? So seeing that his reaction later was *real* and not imagined was very unexpected; it seemed more appropriate for a best case scenario dream sequence Blossom would have where she was viewed as the 'favorite child,' and then wake up and help her sisters prepare his birthday breakfast of liver and onions.
HIM always horiffied me as a child.
Him still scares me
Well Him is supposed to be the devil
What about that episode where bubbles literally draws her anger into monsters thanks to Him?
I remember that one!
What about the power puff girls episode where professor dates mussdusa ?
All Chalked Up? I didn't think that was really all that dark. The butterfly version of Him was creepy because it had his face, but the monsters themselves were just...monsters. And they were defeated just by having happy things drawn on them. There was a book version of the episode written with lots of changes, but the method Bubbles uses to save the playground is the same (I think the book might have come first, because all the other PPG books I've read had stories that weren't episodes - one had Him coming to Pokey Oakes when the girls were seeing the dentist, and throwing this powder over Ms Keane that gradually turned her into first the Teacher from Hell, and then a monster, and the other one had the girls invite their class to a Dress-Like-The-Villain-You-Want-To-Beat-Up-Most party when one child was too awed by them to invite them to his birthday party - he did at the end - and half the real villains showed up).
Zachary Vargas wasn’t that all chalked up?!? Then yes that episode was scary and weird
The she’s hardcore sound from tiktok actually has audio from hat episode which fades into a mumble rap song. I hate it but the part I come for is the Powerpuff Girls
Him is one of the greatest PPG villains ever. Hands down.
Makes me wish this version of the show would return
“Knock it off” made me so sad as a kid. I felt bad for the knock-off ppgs and the professor so much :(
Dude when Dick sprayed or drank the chemical x whatever he did, whatever he turned into scared the hell outta me as a child
So you're not even gonna give "Moral Decay" an honorable mention? That episode was downright disturbing how greed can control someone
Yeah, and the ending made me scared and I couldn’t sleep for a week
Back when cartoons had meaningful lessons at the end of each episode
@@DammnDeejay so true
It wasn't exactly dark, more like mean spirited.
Which one was that? I forgot.
"Knock It Off" not only made me feel unsettled, I cried during it as well. 🥺

I’ve never realised how dark some of these episodes were up until now...
Speed demons means the girls are prisoners of townsville, thats really disturbing!?
While the lesson of this episode sucked that wasn't why it was dark. The fact that him killed all the other villains, as well as the people of townsville effectively blaming them causing them to become traumatized is what made it dark.
''I don't know how I watched any of these as a kid and came out alright'' Who says we came out alright??😂😂
This is one of those moments where you only remember specific scenes from certain episodes during childhood but once you see them again lost memories instantly come flooding back 🤩

I watched practically all those episodes when I was a kid. I don’t remember seeing a single Powerpuff Girls episode that was pleasant to watch. I only saw a few

tes fr me as well... its disturbing to think thatmany kids do thatto their pets
YES YES SAME
I'm just upset I guess with the fact that they have a new Powerpuff girl in the reboot, "Bliss" BUNNY DID NOT DIE FOR THIS BS!!! justice for Bunny. 😔✊
Honestly, I feel like Bliss was technically the first Powerpuff girl, because she actually came *before* Bunny. Also, I like the reboot, pls don’t get pissed off of my opinion.
I swear that #9 traumatized me as a child. It’s crazy how dark these ‘90s kids show could get. Things have changed so much
#9 was a joke compared to *The Headsucker's Moxy* 😒
Gosh I LOVED this show as a kid, but I definitely remember how freaky and dark some of the episodes were. This was just a huge reminder of it. 90s kids cartoons didn't mess around!!!
Well I never thought my most beloved childhood show has so many dark episodes.
When I firstly watched the twisted sister episode about Bunny, I remember I actually shed a tear at the end.
These are one of my favorite episodes since I’ve watched Powerpuff Girls as a child. The twisted sister episode was very depressing😭😭😭😭😭
Knock It Off was ban material. That one is by far the scariest and most disturbing episode!
Him had some creepiest episodes Speed demon deserves number one
I remember Twisted Sister. I didn't like the sad ending.
I thought Power-Noia was gonna be higher, that episode was hella scary
That scene with the him clones ehh just thinking about it just gives me the heebee jeebbies
For me, it was and it's always the biggest trauma that I got from a cartoon!
Any episode with Him is always dark
With the exception of that one where they rush through the city.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 you mean the one in which he says "The professor will pay!" (i think he says that, i watched the show with hispanic language because i'm from Argentina) i assume, yeah, it wasn't dark, but it was uncomforting, the narrator was basically absent and the ending was very anticlimatic
I hope this becomes a theme for other shows like Teen Titans, Avatar: Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, and Gargoyles!

Corélio M. I was reading a code name kids next door thread when someone copy and pasted a scene from this episode
SPEED DEMON!!! And this is for KIDS?! I had nightmares because of this episode! I can't believe they could make such dark and creepy episodes in a kids show!
Speed Demon and Power-Noia scared me to the bone as a child while Twisted Sister made me cry immensely. Collect Her really creeped me out because of the way Lenny Baxter kidnapped the girls and stuffed them into little boxes so he could make them as as “part of his collection”. Knock It Off, on the other hand, made my blood boil because of the way Dick Hardly was portrayed. He is by far the most darkest and evilest character of all of the Powerpuff Girls characters made in the show. And it was due to his excessive greediness, laziness, lack of remorse, lack of empathy, and his coldheartedness to his employees and his creations. And because of how he was portrayed, he nearly got the girls killed when he tried to drain the Chemical X out of them so he could continue his twisted demand. He was a complete monster both inside and out.
ALL of these episodes live rent free in my head.
I was soooo obsessed with HIM. I had a ton of stuffed animals of him. He’s my babe!
There a headcanon/theory that HIM is trans. Being a transgender teen myself, I actually like that idea.
@@trans-dragonroger1948I see your point, but it's still a headcanon made by people who consider every man with some stereotypically feminine attributes and every woman with some stereotypically masculine attributes as a transgender person.
The City of Frownsville was dedicated to the Manhattan Firefighter: Orio Joseph Palmer. He died when the World Trade Center collapse on September 11, 2001. It's the most saddest episode and it reminds me of the 9/11 attack.
Speed Demon felt like something from Back to the Future. You know, time traveling at 88 mph, something like that
“..hope you’re not eating while watching this” while eating block shaped gummies 😂
Honestly, one of the episodes that scared me most was “Mommy Fearest”. Sedusa was straight up abusive, I’m surprised it didn’t make the list :/
Abracadaver really scared me when I was a kid. It's the darkest episode ever
These episodes would be problematic to air on Cartoon Network today, maybe more suited when children are asleep (i.e. at night) and an on-screen warning.
Sandman obviously wants some sleep. Who can deny such a relatable character?
0:58 Didn't need to see that.
HIM was always my favorite character he was always very cool and I likes the way he looked
