The commonly-used "don't skip school" moral. Most episodes on that subject are like "you might miss out on something amazing!" despite the fact you most likely won't on any random school day.
Agreed. Even if there was nothing interesting, you might miss important concepts in the unit and not know how to do something, and you have to cope with more homework than you expected and could handle.
I agree, too. They always have the school do a carnival in the gym or some crazy fun thing that wouldn't happen on a regular school day. (I know it's a cartoon, but still).
If I recall correctly, Disney's run on Doug did an episode on skipping school, and they did it a lot better than most (Doug and Skeeter only missed a school assembly, and nobody except Mr. Bone knew they were gone). The moral was "Skipping school isn't worth the trouble you'll get in, and rebelling for the sake of being a rebel is pointless".
They don't want you joining a street gang, so do a message where the kids begin to play hooky from school to hang out with some rebel kids who are a bit older and appear at first to be cool, but later they get into an activity the protagonists know they shouldn't be doing, so they decide school is better for their futures and respect of the people in their positive social circle (family and school friends).
Lmao, I just discovered the Plankton swearing interview yesterday and here it pops up. Sailor Mouth is really relatable because Spongebob and Patrick are told not to use these words by a trusted authority figure, who then proceeds to use every single one.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a video on double standards, especially “Female on Male Abuse is Funny” one of my pet peeve tropes. And one on bullying, which kids cartoons can’t seem to get right... Edit: 385 likes?! I must have really hit a nerve...
I agree with this one. I also hope he touches on the "hit in the crotch" trope while he's at it, considering it is literally a direct physical assault on someone's genitalia, yet even in the wake of the MeToo movement, is still considered funny and gets a blind eye turned to.
There are many different ways to deal with bullying. The fun is in figuring out what'll hurt the most towards the bully. Ruin their chances with a crush, damage their reputation, etc. the possibilities are endless
"Also teach kids swears. That'll bring them to the real world." "GAH! HOT BELGIAN WAFFLES! Oh wait, nobody's awake... I can swear for real, SON OF A-" Grunkle Stan, a man ahead of his time
@@Drogon7102 I think it's usually about the reaction. Swears by themselves generally aren't funny. Watching someone's reaction to an implied swear is funny(especially if the reaction is extremely absurd, like their ears melt or they pass out). Or say, a child happily swearing. Or someone coming up with some really absurd swear.
@@Drogon7102 I mean they serve a purpose. You can choose not to value them but I'd be surprised if you've never been able to use profanity for a purpose that couldn't have been served by something else.

But, as adults, it's not even a matter of whether we do or don't want to use swears anyway. We just do it out of habit or, as Enter referenced, as a form of pain relief when we stub our toe or something.
My thoughts on swearing (for all no one that cares) are as such: A well-timed f-bomb can help with emphasis, showing just how important something is or how much emotion is behind the thought. But using profanity constantly as if it's going out of style just makes the swearer seem desperate to seem shocking and edgy, instead making them sound immature and annoying.
SuperMarkerComicBro Exactly. Bojack Horseman is a great example of this. They only drop the f bomb once a season, and when a character says it, you really feel it.
Persona 5 Strikers perfectly emphasized this when Ryuji tells off a disembodied AI voice for putting Sophia down by calling her useless, and even Morgana, the mascot of Persona 5, agrees with Ryuji, and gets they both clap back.
Parents don't want kids to swear because they will be judged on their merit as a parent by other parents. I don't swear when I'm in front of people like my VP because it comes off as unprofessional. The reason I don't swear to my parents is because it comes off as disrespectful to them and swearing does lean towards a more aggressive connotation to your speech, the kind I think you shouldn't use with your parents until you're self sufficient.
Again, it's all about context. You usually don't swear around people that have power over you because it's up to them as how acceptable swearing is. If you swear in front of your boss, they can fire you if they don't like it.
@@reasyrandom that's what parenting is now not caring for the child it's looking like you do when attend the parental circle jerk of video games are the reason my son is worthless not me refusing to parent
I think there's a moral that absolutely *HAS* to be addressed, because it's cropping up way too often and I'm not comfortable with it. "Protagonist Centered Morality" a.k.a "It's okay if the good guys do it." Any episode that says something is wrong, unless it's a main character we're supposed to root for doing it, then that makes it perfectly okay (even if it isn't).
@@Nintendotron64 sort of, but its more a very specific subsection of it. My brain instantly goes to steven universe, the gem jesus who cannot do wrong, whenever meddling in things he shouldnt and noone ever being appalled by the creepy shit he sometimes pulls
Nintendotron64 Not quite. Hypocrisy can be used on purpose to illustrate that a character is a scumbag. Protagonist Centered Morality can’t, it’s about putting the protagonist in the right, even if they are being a hypocrite, simply because the author is on their side and tells us to root for them.
I dunno if the Spongebob episode Sailor Mouth was that cut and dry, it ends with Mr. Krabs, the adult authority figure throughout the ep, swearing and becoming a hypocrite of his own moral, and getting in trouble with his own authority figure, his mother, who also ends up swearing herself (even though it ends up being a fake out). I think it shows the hypocrisy of the “because an adult told you so” kind of rule.
I think the best way to get the moral of don't swear across is with the Malcolm in the Middle episode Rollerskates, all thanks to how Bryan Cranston's character Hal gets the point across of how much these words hurt people when used against others.
the funny thing is how they solve that epiosde: With Hal forcing Malcolm to tell him EVERY SINGLE CURSE WORD ever and both of them just being happy after if ended... even if they both say they won't be able to see each other directly into the eyes for a time. SURE now we need a episode that spoofs the moral of "why not swearing" while also addresing how it is "of actual medical value", how depending on the context even non swearing words are more hurtful than heavy swear words, how some words are curses in one country but not so much in another and how sometimes is just social conventions and "manners" with the lesson being "there is a time and place where some things should be say and you should think at what moment to talk" (I am surprised Amazing World of Gumball didn't do an episode like that. the way they could hadnle the moral sounds like one of their episodes.)
@@TheOnlyCelciAndDontYouForgetIt Pathetic or not I stand by that episode being the way to teach that moral if you really care that much about swearing in the context the majority of people don't like about it
Hal is evil. He said in one episode that a missing child is much more serious than a missing pet. Not true! It may be more important to the parents, but not in general. I'd care more if my dog was missing than if someone else's kid was missing.
If you want an old cartoon moral, try tatalling is wrong unless someone is about to be killed. Lot of it was in the 1980's. It affected me a lot that I thought telling a teacher that another kid was using me for grades/cheating off me was wrong.
I never understood why tattling was so bad, but I guess the concept was made just so teachers and parents didn’t have to deal with little kids complaining about every little thing and it turned into making little kids (and eventually older kids) afraid to speak up.
I was always told that tattling meant you wanted them in trouble and weren’t being hurt or we’re worried, but even then, you could argue that there’s no ‘hurt’ involved in that.
My thoughts: Abusive Swearing - Bad Emphatic Swearing - okay Dysphemism Swearing - okay Idiomatic Swearing - sometimes okay, sometimes not Cathartic Swearing - GOOD
@@polterghast3151 Damn, why didn't I get your comment a month ago when you made it? No, it isn't bad, the only reason why I knew those words is because of the Vsauce video titled "Why are bad words bad", and even then, I had to go back to that video, to know what the words are, and what they mean.
Moral idea: “don’t skip school” since they say you’ll miss a carnival or some kind of crazy fun event even though schools don’t suddenly decide to schedule a major event one day before said event, much less without informing the students. Also, the economy. A real reason to not skip school would be like: It’s illegal It’s dangerous You’ll miss important info and get a bad grade You’ll get extra homework And more!
I disagree with this notion. It isnt illegal to skip class first of all. You wont go to jail for it. Secondly, nothing about it is dangerous, a majority of people who skip just want to relax because they are overwhelmed by school for one reason or another. Thirdly, unless you miss multiple days consecutively, it is not difficult to catch up on missing work. Also, as a school student, you don't learn something new everyday. 90% of my school is reviewing something you learned a week ago. And the one day you pretty much learn something new is the first day of new material. You clearly haven't been to school in a while to believe the things here.
@@Drogon7102 Wow, you either aren't a US student or you aren't a California student. School in California and in many places in the US is pretty much the exact opposite of everything you said. Skipping one class isn't a problem for most but the people who skip one class normally skip many and that can end up being a legal problem. Back in middle school, I knew a girl who skipped class wanted to go to Vons and got hit by a truck. We get some kind of work pretty much every single day, both classwork and homework. And while we don't necessarily learn something new (or helpful) everyday, we're told something everyday and even if it seems useless, there's about an 80% chance that it'll be on a test.
And easy to get butthurt, especially when you tell them to shut up where then they will report you for 'harassment' which will result in a ban shortly there after. That's one reason why I switched from Xbox to PC (steam specifically).
If I had the talent to regularly make dolphin noises I'd always just do that instead of swearing... I'd give it a week until someone killed me for being so anoyng but it would be worth it tbh
The concept of swearing has always been a bizarre one to me. These words have absolutely no reason to be offensive. And yet, if they weren't offensive; they wouldn't have any impact or meaning. It's like they exist just to give us the catharsis of saying something offensive; without actually saying anything offensive.
Swear words and Curse words were all religiously themed utterances (Damnation, Hell, calling upon a god's name in vain)as one ought to be able to tell by the name. Wrapping scatology and intimate anatomy into it was already an early corruption (unless it involved some demon's excrement or a deity's anatomy). This all could be summed up by paraphrasing Romeo Montague: "Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"
@@TacomasterStudios Right. I don't know why I remembered that bit from one of the less faithful adaptations at that time. Messing around with Shakespeare like that is obscene. Too bad that no kids' show is trying to teach that lesson today.
Denotation means the dictionary definition of a word and connotation means the reaction to most people. Frick means the same as f*** but it has a different general reaction. Edit: Thats a lot of likes thanks.
Which still goes on the topic here. As most people have said, the only reason this words are bad is because WE MADE THEM BAD, there's no real and legit reason as to why those words should be on a "list" to begin with, beyond just "it sounds bad"
@@aquelgamermexicano That makes a lot of sense when you stop and really think about it. I have a friend that I know who thinks swearing is bad for no other reason than them being "bad words"; which, funnily enough, is (as pointed out in this video) what the message usually boils down to in a kid's cartoon. Naturally, this just shows that some people unfortunately don't have a very good grasp on this sort of thing, and as someone who does swear fairly often, I'm well aware that these words aren't inherently bad. If anything, they just want people to believe these words are "bad" because there are far too many people that don't understand the context of these situations.
I think that allowing your kids to swear freely robs them of just that little bit of innocent rebellious excitement that they need to grow into unique and independent adults.
I've never watched Start Trek, where Captain Kirk is a character, as I can see :). Does he speak like that, with all these pauses? It's really funny, bc people usually tell me so, that I write with too many commas etc.

In highschool I think I may have been the only kid who didn't constantly swear. As a result I kept getting asked why, and I always gave the same response, "Why should I swear? I'm not angry." They seemingly could not comprehend the idea of someone ho could carry a conversation without using f-bombs every other word. In my opinion, if a person can't communicate their thoughts without expletives, they don't deserve to be treated like an adult.

After learning the history of the English language and learning quite a few things in Old English (i.e. Beowulf, The Cannons Of Edgar, etc.) I now know that every swear word originally wasn’t bad at all, it was just like any other word but because of how people have used them over the years (hundereds to be exact), they became bad words. They EVOLVED into the words that we know today as “bad words”. Here are a few examples: The “B” word: Originated from the Old English word “Sēo Bíce”. Which, back then (and even still today) was what everyone called a female dog (the male version is “Sē Docga”). The “A” word: Originated from the Old English word “Pā Assan”. Which, to literary translate that, means “the ass”, which is what people used to call donkeys back then. The “N” word: Originated in Early Modern English (1400s-1600s) from the word “Niggereth” which meant inhuman and supernatural. And this word is a bad word today because in the 1600s through 1865, when slavery was happening in America, people would call the slaves this word and over time it evolved into what we know today as the N word. The point that I am trying to make is that, words on their own are just words, but because of how we use them, we MAKE them bad. We change the meaning of them or, more often, we use them out of context SO MUCH that they eventually evolve into bad words.
this swearing situation is a nice example to back up how a video game, movie, tv show , etc disliked by a majority arent "bad" , as standards and how humans look at things change over time. just like how context , meaning and expression changed for this situation
The most obvious tell is that we refer to these words as "profanities" (writings that do not come directly from a religious sacred book) or "vulgarities" (acts or words pertaining to the working classes, rather than to the ruling classes). It basically boils down to just a mix of French Saxon kings being racist against native Anglos, and Catholic child rapists complaining about how much they hate secular culture.
Maybe it came from both words. Because I remember reading the word Niggereth in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. It was right after Macbeth killed King Duncan and he was feeling guilty about it and was hallucinating and seeing King Duncan’s ghost and described his hallucinations as nigereth, or inhuman and supernatural. So it’s possible that the word originated from that Latin word and then when it was brought over to English it turned into the word Niggereth and then from there it evolved into the N-word because Americans called the slaves that from the early 1600s through 1865.
Well, you might be right, but I think the real reason why people are so hard on video games (myself included) is because most of them, or at least most of the really popular ones, tend to glorify violence and killing, and young people play these games or watch Marvel movies (which also joke about killing people) and it teaches them that it’s okay and even funny to watch someone violently getting killed. And then when young people see this type of violence and killing in real life, they laugh at it because this type of media has taught them that violence and killing is funny. It’s really disturbing when you think about it, and the fact that there are people who are okay with and even support this kind of behavior is really sickening.
Personally I'm kinda in the middle on this. Yeah swearing can do good for both in real life and in fiction, but more often than not, those shows for can get away with swearing just end up doing it left and right and this just becomes annoying. In fact a great example of the correct use and a complete misuse of swearing is, ironically, the same show -- BoJack Horseman. Or rather two versions of it. The original version is the one that you probably seen, where they use one f-bomb a season to a great effect. But in Russia we don't have an official dub for the show, so there are a few unofficial ones madeby amatures. And the most popular one here completely dissed the "one f-bomb a season" rule, so now the characters just swear at random. And this just doesn't work, and ironacally, makes the dub seem less mature than the original. Sometimes a swear can make the scene funneir. Other times, like when BoJack is waiting for an answer on the phone and originally just signs, now he swears. And it's less funny. I know it's done by amatures and I can always just watch the original, but a lot of my friends don't speak English and can only watch the dub. And it's kinda sad, like they are getting an inferior version of the show. Simply because the creator had a rule and the dubbers ignored it.
I've always hated how children's cartoons handle nerds and other "weirdo" types. Nerd kids are always always depicted in cartoons either as punching bags, annoying minor characters who correct people all the time, or just there to solve the main kids' troubles with a bare minimum "thank you" in return. I know this kinda stuff would probably be too complex or depressing for a kid's cartoon (could work for one like Hey Arnold or Arthur tho), but i for one would like to see a cartoon explore these kind of character's background in depth, and address what makes them loners and "weirdos" in first place as well as the pros and cons of such traits. For example, maybe a kid who is pretty ahead of its age both intellectually and in maturity, but as a result can't really connect much with other kids' interests. Or maybe one with too high expectations of what being a kid is like, disappointed for not being able to hang out after school with other kids as a result of paranoid parents.
You probably beat it to death with the Animated Atrocities about Spongebob and Toddler Titans, but parody morals, morals that aren't intended to be taken seriously, could be an interesting topic for Mixed Messages.
I don't even know if Toddler Titans can even count because in that show the morals aren't coming from a misguided attempt to actually teach morals, but are coming from a place of hostility by the showrunners for constantly being compared unfavorably to the original Teen Titans.
ZAMNPlayerD I think that only happened because Enter was seriously in a bad way and burned out or some such. If he tries that again, it’s when he’s messed up again.
@Star Giant Productions Sure. And another question I've been thinking about: I'm guessing you're the lady who appears on the thumbnail of the Ceremonial Super Sitter video? I've been wondering who the heck it was for a while.
Death ie: breaking down murder motives in crime shows & the idea of a "noble sacrifice" which is essentially a sudoku, but at least you've saved other people, so it's a mixed message now. Death is the unknown which is why it's almost a universal fear amongst humans, especially those lacking in faith. However I feel like not having to worry about death means I'd then have to worry about eternity which is scarier.
I mean, Last Week Tonight talked about the death penalty like TWO episodes as the show started. I know, different contexts, but i do think it can be done.
@@carlcarlington7317 But would you rather challenge some random person to a Shadow Game and lose on purpose once you're 96-years-old, or would you make the type of enemy who'd challenge you to one?
The whole “You can’t be friends with everyone because some people just won’t like you for no reason” reminds me of A Friend in Deed from MLP. Except the moral their was rather confusing, as Pinkie Pie succeeds in getting this cranky dude to accept her friendship, while still realizing that some people just won’t want to be her friend, and that’s okay, which is shown when she apologizes and leaves him alone at the end. The issue is she still gets away with being an obsessive stalker for most of the episode, as it ultimately gets her what she wants.
I think part of the purpose of swearing is that we pretend it's forbidden. Teens swear as rebellion, swearing helps with pain more than random nouns (from that same study), swearing sort of packs that punch because we tell ourselves we're doing something wrong. So while I agree with you, I think pretending these words are bad when they are useful has merit. (Kids' shows should definitely do better with their morals though.)
My mom once told me "saying the word jerk is as bad as saying the word stupid." I thought at the time that that meant "stupid is a bad curse word" but Mr. Enter pointed out that being called an idiot is hurtful in general, so maybe that's what my mom meant.
@@Lynn17 200 hundred years ago that word was considered worse than any curse word today. Because they weren't thought up yet. All they had was. Yellow belly and jerk mostly. Funny right?
I think cartoons should also teach specifically where you CAN'T use swears. Mainly in front of the elderly or authority. Kids these days are EXTREMELY disrespectful to authority figures, whether it be police, military personnel, teachers, security guards, etc. My dad is the head of security (and a retired Air Force police officer) at our downtown mall, and his officers have to deal with a ton of punks who don't respect them and mouth off to them. Basically a bunch of Cartmans. I feel like cartoons need to teach kids not to swear in front of authority and swearing is wrong, because it is disrespectful and immature. I had to say this because I am so So SO sick of punk kids telling my dad and his officers, who are there to keep everyone SAFE, to f off.
The only thing I'd disagree on is the point of swearing in front of authority figures, if only because by then it's arbitrary. But I can certainly agree that swearing at them is just disrespectful
I don't think Sailor Mouth was trying to say "Swear word bad" as much as it was poking fun at how adults tell kids not to say bad words, yet they say them anyway. Decent vid, though.
I like this new series; and I'm looking forward to more episodes. Interestingly, while I did enjoy Sonic Underground, that show was in absolutely no position to teach the lesson "stealing is wrong". Not sure if you'll cover that lesson in this video series, but I thought I'd throw it out there as a potential topic of when and where a show should teach a moral.
SonicDDRFreak Sonic Underground was a weird show in general. It apparently was also made by the same people as The Wacky World of Tex Avery, so yeah, they are in no position to teach about stealing.
When I was younger, and my parents were more strict about swearing, I would always just say “beep”, instead of the actual cuss word. I picked this up from reality tv shows since I knew that the beeps were cuss words. So even though I wasn’t saying the actual words, it still kinda means it. So yeah. 9:45

Here's a pet peeve of mine for you to consider taking a jab at: The "dad is an idiot, mom is smart" cliche. To one extent or another it's been in almost every animated series that has ever existed: The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Simpsons, Family guy, Dexter's laboratory, The life and times of Juniper Lee, Jake Long:American dragon, Daria, Star vs. the forces of evil, you name it. Whether they be complete morons or at the least comic relief, fathers are so rarely portrayed as competent. I swear, when the father character in the Loud house was a competent human being, I almost did a double take, it's so rare.
Also can you do one on the “S/he bullies you because s/he likes you!” Trope? I remember being bullied so much in school and when I went to my teachers they always gave me that same excuse. It got to the point where the bullying made me not want to talk to anyone in class for years so seeing that in cartoons always makes me so mad.
One iffy moral I’ve seen in TV shows for kids is that they should always trust adults and never question what they say. I find it to be a really dangerous rule to follow, especially since there are many adults who do NOT always make the right decisions and in sadly many cases have very bad intentions.
"Swearing is good for you" sometimes yes but not always. My main problem with swearing is that for me at least it reduces my ability to think of situation objectively making my self, in general more impulsive, maybe not by much but it does. I do agree that it reduces stress which is honestly a good use for it.
I agree with that. I have a friend who thinks swearing is bad for no other reason than "because it's bad", which is frankly stupid, imo. I can understand not wanting people to swear around you if you're not comfortable with it, but that doesn't mean they won't if you piss them off enough.
I totally agree about this. It's also horrible when a show twist a message, either on purpose or accident, so that it meets there view on the world and not reality. And I dont mean to make anyone made but Christian shows do this a lot. "Why is it bad" "because God said do. And if you don't agree he force you to spend eternity suffering." But completely I hate it when shows improperly tackle mental problems, suicide, serious illness, trauma/abuse, and death. Because a lot of the time the person suffering is fine by the end or it, resurrected, treated as a joke, or just a complete misunderstanding on what it is. I feel like I made my own mini episode in this comment.
forgotten robot At least VeggieTales tries to explain their morals in greater detail than just “It’s bad/good because God says so.” I’m a christian myself, by the way.
I agree they could do a better job of explaining the reasoning behind certain moral commandments. At the very least, however, "because God said so" is still a better reason (from a Christian perspective) than "because (human authority figure) said so" (because God is all-knowing and all-good, therefore, unlike a human authority figure, when He gives a command, He cannot be making a mistake or doing wrong). The position that God's will *alone* makes things good or evil, and that He could command evil to be good or good to be evil, is called Divine Command Theory, and I don't subscribe to it or think that it's correct, but it's still more defensible and interesting than many people think. Personally, I go for Natural Law Theory, but explaining *that* to a child would require a lot of skill. Basically, yes, "because God said so" is an incomplete moral at best, but for a child's perspective it may be the only feasible way to explain something to them, given how complex the topic is.
One message from Sailor Mouth [Spongebob] is clear to me, no matter what else happened in it. There is nothing fancy about curse words. They do not "enhance" your sentences in any positive way. December 20, 2020, 9:49pm
Also, this trope "here's a bully/mean person who's giving me hell and the only way to fix them is, probably, be their friend." Man, I tried that and ut fidn't work. My bullies became "non-existent" b/c they got in trouble and were kicked out/stormed out of class
A good explanation would be that it's unprofessional in a casual work conversation or in public. It shows a certain level of self control and respect for those around you. Frick, crud, and peeve are less powerful versions of those words. It's the connotation of these words as opposed to their more powerful counterparts.
@@MogofWar Not exactly. You've demonstrated why. Most swears are used in insults or they denote something that shouldn't be talked about in the workplace. It has nothing to do with "authoritarians" and everything to do with respecting the people around you and maintaining an orderly workplace.
To be honest, the whole "swearing is bad" episodes never seemed like genuine morals to me. Even as a kid, I felt like the creators were just looking for excuses to sneak in their characters "swearing" on a kid's show.
Even from what I remember with “Sailor Mouth”, the whole episode came off to me almost as a satire of people’s sensitivity to swear words, rather than a serious moral intended to be conveyed (like how Mr. Krabs berates them so much for swearing one word, only to then stub his foot and hypocritically say every single curse word, prompting Spongebob and Patrick to run all the way to his mother’s house, just to say that an adult sweared).
How about crushes? It isn't touched on commonly but as a kid I remember being super confused by Helga's stalker - like obsession with Arnold. Even when characters are just friends I feel fans still want to ship them. Where is the episodes that say it's alright for guys and girls to stay close friends and sometimes that's just as great as a relationship? Most shows don't touch the topic at all or they ship the main two characters. I kind of want to see rejection in a realistic way where they decide it's okay to stay friends. Ps. I honestly love shows like Kim Possible that aren't afraid to show relationships. Similarly, I can (as an adult) accept Helga's crush as more or less a her thing, played up for comic relief. But I'd love to see more variety especially since that's something that could easily be tackled.
In it, she is represented as a robotic white colored knight wielding a cybernetic sledgehammer(which in term is a metaphor on how anyone can be deplatformed from her service at any time, even if you don’t break the guidelines)
In fact, the story mode of the KFAD Fangame is heavily based on Sony’s unlawful temporary takedown of the SiivaGunner channel(KFAD is an acronym of SiivaGunner’s King For A Day Tournament)
In defense of Sailor Mouth, Spongebob and Patrick were swearing a lot in a restaurant where people eat and you probably wouldn't want to think about shit or piss or cum or anything of the sort while eating. At some point Spongebob made an announce to the clients in which he used swears to describe the food at the Krusty Krab, which is bad for business.
Swearing is so trivial and harmless that House of the Dead: Overkill basically turned it into a joke, it was the one thing that everyone remembers about X-Men: First Class, and Samuel L. Jackson basically built his entire career around being the King of the F-Bomb (to the point where he was the very inspiration behind the parody character from the aforementioned HotD: Overkill, Isaac Washington... and *everyone* saw what they did there). Also, I personally find swears more funny when bleeped out, in particular being a sucker for the extended / repeated bleep gag. Devil's advocate though, the real point of kids not swearing has nothing to do with kindness or anything of the sort. Those who don't swear are seen as being of a higher class, in a sense. Sure, communicating with swearing is easier and more direct, but to be able to communicate the same ideas without swearing is a sign of intellect and respect. For a similar example, there was an ancient Egyptian tradition of keeping one's left foot forward when personally addressing authorities, particularly the Pharaoh, and to do otherwise was extremely disrespectful. This is just as senseless as not swearing (and is about as effective at masking contempt for someone as not cursing them out would be) but the extra effort was the point. It was a sign that you were willing to go out of your way to show respect, even to the point of inconveniencing yourself. Such a person is the kind of person you can trust. Generally, parents want their kids to be respectful of authority for reasons that any parent would find self-explanatory. To the rest, let's face it, kids left to their own devices are utter morons who tangibly lack experience with the world, and so their evaluations of those who deserve respect and those who don't are often a crapshoot at best. (And no, real life children are never "wise beyond their years" nearly as often as fiction might have you believe. It's the kind of wisdom that can pretty much only be learned through raw experience which the vast majority of children would lack, while the extreme minority tend to be the kinds born into war zones, criminal life, or other unenviable origins.) And so, until kids learn what kinds of people are worthy and unworthy of respect, best to err on the side of caution. ...Oh well. Articulate argumentation seems to be falling rapidly out of fashion... BUT THAT'S JUST HOW I ROLL, MOTHERFUCKERS!

That's how I feel about swearing. It has nothing to do with right or wrong. You just sound stupider and stupider the more profanity you put in a single sentence or argument.
@@rhondahoward8025 I mean, you could male that argument about saying "Um" or "Like" 5 times in one sentence. By that point its clear you don't know how to communicate your thoughts clearly, but it lacks the vehement hatred people have of swearing. Honestly the intelligence argument has always been one built upon pretention. Calling someone a jackass does not make you dumber than the one who called them a moron.
Someone once said lesbians are often shown more due to the fact that they can be written off as friends or family in other countries so the show can still air overseas and dodge gay bans Also lesbian are overall just more socially excepted due to people fetishizing them more over men...... Y e a h this WOULD make for a good topic actually
The Radionic Revival Not just lesbians, bisexuals too. Have you ever noticed how many female bisexual characters there are, but pretty much no males? Pretty sure that’s because it plays into the male fantasy of a bi woman being available for a hot threesome while a man who they thought had the hots for a girl actually having the hots for them is considered a nightmare. The Yaoi fandom isn’t much better though.
The Radionic Revival There’s a difference between being accepted and being fetishised. The fetishisation of lesbians treats these as sexual objects, and leads to some people feeling comfortable at leering at lesbian couples, or asking inappropriate questions about their sex lives. Even worse this fetishisation has led to violence. The incident in London a few months popped into my head immediately. Those two women were beaten bloody after they refused to kiss for a group of teen boys that had been harassing them. Lesbian couples may or may not be more accepted in the western world, but it is certainly not due to fetishisation
i want to hear about the mixed message about how, in the 70's, 80's, & 90's, the complainer is always in the wrong, since that message was strongly taught at my dad's school.
One that would be good for you to cover is stranger danger. At it's core, it's basically "assume everyone you don't know is a pedophile", which definitely was harmful. A: It actually made you more susceptible to molestation as a kid because 80% of these acts among children are by people they know & trust, as well as B: Lost children have refused help from people who were just trying to get them home because of how ingrained ^ (added edit) it is (edit ends here) in their mind.
So my family had the rule of “you can swear but don’t let mom catch you.” Then it was adapted to “if you’re 18, have a job or are out of the house, aka an adult, you can swear whenever you want.” I always imagined it is because swearing was seen more as “disrespectful” and therefore wrong to say around your seniors. Like you wouldn’t swear like a sailor at your place of work or classroom or anywhere where you would need to be in respectful in (like church for example). I guess that should be taught to kids. Being respectful, not sheer obedience alone.
Actually I think Sailor Mouth handles swearing wonderfully. Mr Krabs the very person who told them to not swear says all thirteen bad words. While it doesn’t say swearing is good it shows that adults can sometimes be wrong about things like this
I'm really enjoying these new series! I've been inactive on this channel for a while, but you are really stepping up your game again! Keep up the great work Mr. Enter! Can't wait to see more
Suggestion... I do not like the way many kids shows display the idea that simply apologizing will fix any problems and will not have any future consequences. As we all know, reality doesn't work that way, and I know a lot of kids who do apologise, but they think they are excused from all responsibility, and they assume that they're the victim if the former statement is not true. It's something that always bothered me personally. It's mostly in educational television, but that kinda makes it worse in it's impacts. Idk. I'll check whatever you do either way.
Stephen Heffen, Well, if you're actually sorry about the action that you caused, then maybe it's ok, but if you aren't actually and want to excuse your actions, then maybe not.
Episode suggestion : The era of TV that led to those Sonic Sez/Sailor Moon Says/etc bits where watchdog groups got the government to legislate educational content into kid shows.
I think your decreased amount of swearing is a sign of you becoming more mature. You begin to learn when the expletive matches the situation as you gain experience. I liked the video! Great job!
I unfortunately have a very visual mind, which means that until recently I'd visualze the literal definition of the word. Gee sure was fun. I agree that among adults its all well and good, but I really didn't need those images as a kid.
Enter. I'mma just say it. We need more people with your mindset in this world. People who aren't overly sensitive, people who actually want to have civil conversations instead of using the internet as a fire pit to call out others and destroy their esteem, and people who put their two cents out in spite of what others may say against it. Please continue this series, mate! This is a fantastic pilot!

@JT Z Eyy that's pretty good - Edoobz
@JT Z i prefer methisodes, but that doesn't have anything to do with the video i suppose.
The commonly-used "don't skip school" moral. Most episodes on that subject are like "you might miss out on something amazing!" despite the fact you most likely won't on any random school day.
Agreed. Even if there was nothing interesting, you might miss important concepts in the unit and not know how to do something, and you have to cope with more homework than you expected and could handle.
I agree, too. They always have the school do a carnival in the gym or some crazy fun thing that wouldn't happen on a regular school day. (I know it's a cartoon, but still).
If I recall correctly, Disney's run on Doug did an episode on skipping school, and they did it a lot better than most (Doug and Skeeter only missed a school assembly, and nobody except Mr. Bone knew they were gone). The moral was "Skipping school isn't worth the trouble you'll get in, and rebelling for the sake of being a rebel is pointless".
They don't want you joining a street gang, so do a message where the kids begin to play hooky from school to hang out with some rebel kids who are a bit older and appear at first to be cool, but later they get into an activity the protagonists know they shouldn't be doing, so they decide school is better for their futures and respect of the people in their positive social circle (family and school friends).
PsychicHyrax you would still miss out on subjects

There is no right answer to dealing with bullies.
I agree with this one. I also hope he touches on the "hit in the crotch" trope while he's at it, considering it is literally a direct physical assault on someone's genitalia, yet even in the wake of the MeToo movement, is still considered funny and gets a blind eye turned to.
The problem is there is no one size fits all in regards to how to deal with bullying. So there is no universal answer to dealing with it.
@Simple Weirdo Ikr, I absolutely *HATE* it!!
There are many different ways to deal with bullying. The fun is in figuring out what'll hurt the most towards the bully. Ruin their chances with a crush, damage their reputation, etc. the possibilities are endless

Actually, looking at that moral now, I do see some ups to it.
Now I see it as a way to let your emotions show or something...
Please tell me no one was retarded enough to not see that "moral" was just a joke in the episode.
At least in that episode the voice acting hinted that the moral wasn't meant to be taken to heart.
(Conspiracy theory) Swearing is bad because if they weren't bad, then we wouldn't want to use swears.
But, as adults, it's not even a matter of whether we do or don't want to use swears anyway. We just do it out of habit or, as Enter referenced, as a form of pain relief when we stub our toe or something.
Pretty much, if we used all the time it would lose it's punch

@marianne mccrank S-word?
@marianne mccrank oh shit
excuse me, I had a brain fart there
My thoughts on swearing (for all no one that cares) are as such:
A well-timed f-bomb can help with emphasis, showing just how important something is or how much emotion is behind the thought. But using profanity constantly as if it's going out of style just makes the swearer seem desperate to seem shocking and edgy, instead making them sound immature and annoying.
SuperMarkerComicBro Exactly. Bojack Horseman is a great example of this. They only drop the f bomb once a season, and when a character says it, you really feel it.
That's a problem I have with some of Seth Rogen's more recent works.
Persona 5 Strikers perfectly emphasized this when Ryuji tells off a disembodied AI voice for putting Sophia down by calling her useless, and even Morgana, the mascot of Persona 5, agrees with Ryuji, and gets they both clap back.
Parents don't want kids to swear because they will be judged on their merit as a parent by other parents. I don't swear when I'm in front of people like my VP because it comes off as unprofessional. The reason I don't swear to my parents is because it comes off as disrespectful to them and swearing does lean towards a more aggressive connotation to your speech, the kind I think you shouldn't use with your parents until you're self sufficient.
Again, it's all about context.
You usually don't swear around people that have power over you because it's up to them as how acceptable swearing is.
If you swear in front of your boss, they can fire you if they don't like it.
"I'm not concerned about you, I'm concerned about other parents judging me!"

It’s all about implicitly seeing children as beneath adults.
I think there's a moral that absolutely *HAS* to be addressed, because it's cropping up way too often and I'm not comfortable with it. "Protagonist Centered Morality" a.k.a "It's okay if the good guys do it." Any episode that says something is wrong, unless it's a main character we're supposed to root for doing it, then that makes it perfectly okay (even if it isn't).
Doesn't that just fall under the general fallacy of hypocrisy?
*cough* Black Panther *cough*
@@Nintendotron64 sort of, but its more a very specific subsection of it. My brain instantly goes to steven universe, the gem jesus who cannot do wrong, whenever meddling in things he shouldnt and noone ever being appalled by the creepy shit he sometimes pulls
Nintendotron64
Not quite. Hypocrisy can be used on purpose to illustrate that a character is a scumbag. Protagonist Centered Morality can’t, it’s about putting the protagonist in the right, even if they are being a hypocrite, simply because the author is on their side and tells us to root for them.
As TV Tropes puts it, that could more broadly fall under the “Designated Hero”/“Designated Villain” patterns.
Gruncle Stan was right, we must teach children swears.
DarkWarchieff LOL 😂
I dunno if the Spongebob episode Sailor Mouth was that cut and dry, it ends with Mr. Krabs, the adult authority figure throughout the ep, swearing and becoming a hypocrite of his own moral, and getting in trouble with his own authority figure, his mother, who also ends up swearing herself (even though it ends up being a fake out). I think it shows the hypocrisy of the “because an adult told you so” kind of rule.
I think the best way to get the moral of don't swear across is with the Malcolm in the Middle episode Rollerskates, all thanks to how Bryan Cranston's character Hal gets the point across of how much these words hurt people when used against others.
the funny thing is how they solve that epiosde: With Hal forcing Malcolm to tell him EVERY SINGLE CURSE WORD ever and both of them just being happy after if ended... even if they both say they won't be able to see each other directly into the eyes for a time.
SURE now we need a episode that spoofs the moral of "why not swearing" while also addresing how it is "of actual medical value", how depending on the context even non swearing words are more hurtful than heavy swear words, how some words are curses in one country but not so much in another and how sometimes is just social conventions and "manners" with the lesson being "there is a time and place where some things should be say and you should think at what moment to talk"
(I am surprised Amazing World of Gumball didn't do an episode like that. the way they could hadnle the moral sounds like one of their episodes.)
Swears hurting people is pretty pathetic tbh
@@TheOnlyCelciAndDontYouForgetIt Pathetic or not I stand by that episode being the way to teach that moral if you really care that much about swearing in the context the majority of people don't like about it
Hal is evil. He said in one episode that a missing child is much more serious than a missing pet. Not true! It may be more important to the parents, but not in general. I'd care more if my dog was missing than if someone else's kid was missing.
@@GaylordRobinson But that's a human.
If you want an old cartoon moral, try tatalling is wrong unless someone is about to be killed. Lot of it was in the 1980's. It affected me a lot that I thought telling a teacher that another kid was using me for grades/cheating off me was wrong.
*Lamb of God Omerta begins to play*
I never understood why tattling was so bad, but I guess the concept was made just so teachers and parents didn’t have to deal with little kids complaining about every little thing and it turned into making little kids (and eventually older kids) afraid to speak up.
I was always told that tattling meant you wanted them in trouble and weren’t being hurt or we’re worried, but even then, you could argue that there’s no ‘hurt’ involved in that.
My thoughts:
Abusive Swearing - Bad
Emphatic Swearing - okay
Dysphemism Swearing - okay
Idiomatic Swearing - sometimes okay, sometimes not
Cathartic Swearing - GOOD

@@nickronca1562 Ah, alright
fuck yeah my dude totally agree
Moral idea: “don’t skip school” since they say you’ll miss a carnival or some kind of crazy fun event even though schools don’t suddenly decide to schedule a major event one day before said event, much less without informing the students. Also, the economy. A real reason to not skip school would be like:
It’s illegal
It’s dangerous
You’ll miss important info and get a bad grade
You’ll get extra homework
And more!
I disagree with this notion. It isnt illegal to skip class first of all. You wont go to jail for it. Secondly, nothing about it is dangerous, a majority of people who skip just want to relax because they are overwhelmed by school for one reason or another.
Thirdly, unless you miss multiple days consecutively, it is not difficult to catch up on missing work. Also, as a school student, you don't learn something new everyday. 90% of my school is reviewing something you learned a week ago. And the one day you pretty much learn something new is the first day of new material.
You clearly haven't been to school in a while to believe the things here.
@@Drogon7102 Wow, you either aren't a US student or you aren't a California student. School in California and in many places in the US is pretty much the exact opposite of everything you said. Skipping one class isn't a problem for most but the people who skip one class normally skip many and that can end up being a legal problem. Back in middle school, I knew a girl who skipped class wanted to go to Vons and got hit by a truck. We get some kind of work pretty much every single day, both classwork and homework. And while we don't necessarily learn something new (or helpful) everyday, we're told something everyday and even if it seems useless, there's about an 80% chance that it'll be on a test.
My school is very poor at informing students/parents of events, as they'll do it like 8 PM the night before over e-mail.
Damn right kids swear the most. You should see how they act once they have headsets and gaming PCs.
Yeah
And easy to get butthurt, especially when you tell them to shut up where then they will report you for 'harassment' which will result in a ban shortly there after. That's one reason why I switched from Xbox to PC (steam specifically).
As a kid with a headset I can confirm this
As an adult who doesn't swear, I can relate to this.

Dude, my baby ears.
Ooohhh! You said number eleven!
The concept of swearing has always been a bizarre one to me. These words have absolutely no reason to be offensive. And yet, if they weren't offensive; they wouldn't have any impact or meaning. It's like they exist just to give us the catharsis of saying something offensive; without actually saying anything offensive.
I personally hate the message “if they bully you it means they like you!” Way to set kids up to stay in abusive relationships or even abuse others!
Swear words and Curse words were all religiously themed utterances (Damnation, Hell, calling upon a god's name in vain)as one ought to be able to tell by the name. Wrapping scatology and intimate anatomy into it was already an early corruption (unless it involved some demon's excrement or a deity's anatomy).
This all could be summed up by paraphrasing Romeo Montague: "Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"
i believe the romans were rather fond of genital based insults, would surely factor into swearing practices they spread, no?

Which still goes on the topic here. As most people have said, the only reason this words are bad is because WE MADE THEM BAD, there's no real and legit reason as to why those words should be on a "list" to begin with, beyond just "it sounds bad"
@@aquelgamermexicano That makes a lot of sense when you stop and really think about it. I have a friend that I know who thinks swearing is bad for no other reason than them being "bad words"; which, funnily enough, is (as pointed out in this video) what the message usually boils down to in a kid's cartoon. Naturally, this just shows that some people unfortunately don't have a very good grasp on this sort of thing, and as someone who does swear fairly often, I'm well aware that these words aren't inherently bad. If anything, they just want people to believe these words are "bad" because there are far too many people that don't understand the context of these situations.

In highschool I think I may have been the only kid who didn't constantly swear. As a result I kept getting asked why, and I always gave the same response, "Why should I swear? I'm not angry." They seemingly could not comprehend the idea of someone ho could carry a conversation without using f-bombs every other word. In my opinion, if a person can't communicate their thoughts without expletives, they don't deserve to be treated like an adult.
In my opinion, that's elitist of you, but go off.
You want a bad moral?
“I guess crying does solve all your problems”
TheArceusftw Obviously. It’s a joke
crying solves keeping sadness in for too long but thats it
TheArceusftw well my idiotic first-third grade self certainly did. Keep in mind that most kids have a terrible sense of sarcasm.
Have you SEEN Inside Out?! It literally teaches you that sadness can be good for you, in the sense of letting go of your repressed emotions.
Also, it is hard to tell on the internet if you are joking or not.
iTs HiGh n0ob Peppa Pig and Spongebob seasons 6-9 in a nutshell
I'm only a minute in and I can already tell this is gonna be good.
Everytime I read "this is gonna be good" Im hearing Napoleon Bonesapart from Corpse Bride😂😂
After learning the history of the English language and learning quite a few things in Old English (i.e. Beowulf, The Cannons Of Edgar, etc.) I now know that every swear word originally wasn’t bad at all, it was just like any other word but because of how people have used them over the years (hundereds to be exact), they became bad words. They EVOLVED into the words that we know today as “bad words”.
Here are a few examples:
The “B” word: Originated from the Old English word “Sēo Bíce”. Which, back then (and even still today) was what everyone called a female dog (the male version is “Sē Docga”).
The “A” word: Originated from the Old English word “Pā Assan”. Which, to literary translate that, means “the ass”, which is what people used to call donkeys back then.
The “N” word: Originated in Early Modern English (1400s-1600s) from the word “Niggereth” which meant inhuman and supernatural. And this word is a bad word today because in the 1600s through 1865, when slavery was happening in America, people would call the slaves this word and over time it evolved into what we know today as the N word.
The point that I am trying to make is that, words on their own are just words, but because of how we use them, we MAKE them bad. We change the meaning of them or, more often, we use them out of context SO MUCH that they eventually evolve into bad words.
this swearing situation is a nice example to back up how a video game, movie, tv show , etc disliked by a majority arent "bad" , as standards and how humans look at things change over time. just like how context , meaning and expression changed for this situation
The most obvious tell is that we refer to these words as "profanities" (writings that do not come directly from a religious sacred book) or "vulgarities" (acts or words pertaining to the working classes, rather than to the ruling classes). It basically boils down to just a mix of French Saxon kings being racist against native Anglos, and Catholic child rapists complaining about how much they hate secular culture.
I thought the N-word was derived from the Latin word "niger", meaning black.
Maybe it came from both words. Because I remember reading the word Niggereth in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. It was right after Macbeth killed King Duncan and he was feeling guilty about it and was hallucinating and seeing King Duncan’s ghost and described his hallucinations as nigereth, or inhuman and supernatural. So it’s possible that the word originated from that Latin word and then when it was brought over to English it turned into the word Niggereth and then from there it evolved into the N-word because Americans called the slaves that from the early 1600s through 1865.
Well, you might be right, but I think the real reason why people are so hard on video games (myself included) is because most of them, or at least most of the really popular ones, tend to glorify violence and killing, and young people play these games or watch Marvel movies (which also joke about killing people) and it teaches them that it’s okay and even funny to watch someone violently getting killed. And then when young people see this type of violence and killing in real life, they laugh at it because this type of media has taught them that violence and killing is funny. It’s really disturbing when you think about it, and the fact that there are people who are okay with and even support this kind of behavior is really sickening.
Personally I'm kinda in the middle on this. Yeah swearing can do good for both in real life and in fiction, but more often than not, those shows for can get away with swearing just end up doing it left and right and this just becomes annoying.
In fact a great example of the correct use and a complete misuse of swearing is, ironically, the same show -- BoJack Horseman. Or rather two versions of it. The original version is the one that you probably seen, where they use one f-bomb a season to a great effect. But in Russia we don't have an official dub for the show, so there are a few unofficial ones madeby amatures. And the most popular one here completely dissed the "one f-bomb a season" rule, so now the characters just swear at random.
And this just doesn't work, and ironacally, makes the dub seem less mature than the original. Sometimes a swear can make the scene funneir. Other times, like when BoJack is waiting for an answer on the phone and originally just signs, now he swears. And it's less funny. I know it's done by amatures and I can always just watch the original, but a lot of my friends don't speak English and can only watch the dub. And it's kinda sad, like they are getting an inferior version of the show. Simply because the creator had a rule and the dubbers ignored it.

I've always hated how children's cartoons handle nerds and other "weirdo" types. Nerd kids are always always depicted in cartoons either as punching bags, annoying minor characters who correct people all the time, or just there to solve the main kids' troubles with a bare minimum "thank you" in return.
I know this kinda stuff would probably be too complex or depressing for a kid's cartoon (could work for one like Hey Arnold or Arthur tho), but i for one would like to see a cartoon explore these kind of character's background in depth, and address what makes them loners and "weirdos" in first place as well as the pros and cons of such traits.
For example, maybe a kid who is pretty ahead of its age both intellectually and in maturity, but as a result can't really connect much with other kids' interests.
Or maybe one with too high expectations of what being a kid is like, disappointed for not being able to hang out after school with other kids as a result of paranoid parents.
You probably beat it to death with the Animated Atrocities about Spongebob and Toddler Titans, but parody morals, morals that aren't intended to be taken seriously, could be an interesting topic for Mixed Messages.
I don't even know if Toddler Titans can even count because in that show the morals aren't coming from a misguided attempt to actually teach morals, but are coming from a place of hostility by the showrunners for constantly being compared unfavorably to the original Teen Titans.
Hey Enter, is Family Film Failures gonna have another episode? I mean, I'm interested in seeing what weird live action stuff you dig up next.
ZAMNPlayerD I think that only happened because Enter was seriously in a bad way and burned out or some such. If he tries that again, it’s when he’s messed up again.
@@KnakuanaRka Eh, I guess that's fair. But imagine John reviewing something dumb like that dog show movie that IHE talked about some time back.

I would like to see him attempt to review hated live action Nickelodeon movies like Imagine That, Snow Day, and Yours Mine & Ours.
Mixed Messages idea: Death (it might be too sensitive to do this close to the pilot)
Sounds like season finale material.
Death ie: breaking down murder motives in crime shows & the idea of a "noble sacrifice" which is essentially a sudoku, but at least you've saved other people, so it's a mixed message now.
Death is the unknown which is why it's almost a universal fear amongst humans, especially those lacking in faith. However I feel like not having to worry about death means I'd then have to worry about eternity which is scarier.
I mean, Last Week Tonight talked about the death penalty like TWO episodes as the show started. I know, different contexts, but i do think it can be done.

@@carlcarlington7317 But would you rather challenge some random person to a Shadow Game and lose on purpose once you're 96-years-old, or would you make the type of enemy who'd challenge you to one?
Lego Ninjago had a throw away joke about it. "You know, you shouldn't swear. It shows a limited vocabulary."
The whole “You can’t be friends with everyone because some people just won’t like you for no reason” reminds me of A Friend in Deed from MLP. Except the moral their was rather confusing, as Pinkie Pie succeeds in getting this cranky dude to accept her friendship, while still realizing that some people just won’t want to be her friend, and that’s okay, which is shown when she apologizes and leaves him alone at the end. The issue is she still gets away with being an obsessive stalker for most of the episode, as it ultimately gets her what she wants.
Too be fair we do get to see Cranky Doodle's reaction to it and how uncomfortable it makes him.
Sounds like another episode I seen before on season 7
Interesting a new series by Mr.

It looks like it can have potential.
@marianne mccrank I noticed too.
Definitely, I'm a watch every episode from here on.
@@alexandredesouza3692 Me too.
I think part of the purpose of swearing is that we pretend it's forbidden. Teens swear as rebellion, swearing helps with pain more than random nouns (from that same study), swearing sort of packs that punch because we tell ourselves we're doing something wrong. So while I agree with you, I think pretending these words are bad when they are useful has merit. (Kids' shows should definitely do better with their morals though.)
Yeah, even as an adult I still feel like I shouldn't say those words around my parents, who'll get angry at me and end doing the same thing.
Did you know in the wild west. The word *JERK* was considered a curse word.
My mom once told me "saying the word jerk is as bad as saying the word stupid." I thought at the time that that meant "stupid is a bad curse word" but Mr. Enter pointed out that being called an idiot is hurtful in general, so maybe that's what my mom meant.
@@Lynn17 200 hundred years ago that word was considered worse than any curse word today. Because they weren't thought up yet.

Why do you put a timestamp on your comment?
I think cartoons should also teach specifically where you CAN'T use swears. Mainly in front of the elderly or authority. Kids these days are EXTREMELY disrespectful to authority figures, whether it be police, military personnel, teachers, security guards, etc. My dad is the head of security (and a retired Air Force police officer) at our downtown mall, and his officers have to deal with a ton of punks who don't respect them and mouth off to them. Basically a bunch of Cartmans.
I feel like cartoons need to teach kids not to swear in front of authority and swearing is wrong, because it is disrespectful and immature. I had to say this because I am so So SO sick of punk kids telling my dad and his officers, who are there to keep everyone SAFE, to f off.
That. Right there. This one of the best examples of how to tell kids *_'why they shouldn't_* swear'. And it only took me about 1.5 minutes to read.
That's what I'm saying. It's not about being offensive but rather vulgar and disrespectful
@@JV-Decker-RetireDisAcctSoon that took me about 20 seconds to read.
How is your English?
@@TheVoiceOfChaos it took about a minute for me.
The only thing I'd disagree on is the point of swearing in front of authority figures, if only because by then it's arbitrary. But I can certainly agree that swearing at them is just disrespectful
This series seems really interesting to watch. Good job, Mr Enter!
I don't think Sailor Mouth was trying to say "Swear word bad" as much as it was poking fun at how adults tell kids not to say bad words, yet they say them anyway. Decent vid, though.

I like this new series; and I'm looking forward to more episodes.
Interestingly, while I did enjoy Sonic Underground, that show was in absolutely no position to teach the lesson "stealing is wrong". Not sure if you'll cover that lesson in this video series, but I thought I'd throw it out there as a potential topic of when and where a show should teach a moral.

Sonic Underground was a weird show in general. It apparently was also made by the same people as The Wacky World of Tex Avery, so yeah, they are in no position to teach about stealing.

Me: *visual sadness*
When I was younger, and my parents were more strict about swearing, I would always just say “beep”, instead of the actual cuss word.
I picked this up from reality tv shows since I knew that the beeps were cuss words. So even though I wasn’t saying the actual words, it still kinda means it. So yeah.

This series has the potential to become your best RUclips series.
Wow. Mr Enter predicted RUclips getting sued by COPPA months in advance.
Here's a pet peeve of mine for you to consider taking a jab at:
The "dad is an idiot, mom is smart" cliche.
To one extent or another it's been in almost every animated series that has ever existed: The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Simpsons, Family guy, Dexter's laboratory, The life and times of Juniper Lee, Jake Long:American dragon, Daria, Star vs. the forces of evil, you name it. Whether they be complete morons or at the least comic relief, fathers are so rarely portrayed as competent. I swear, when the father character in the Loud house was a competent human being, I almost did a double take, it's so rare.
I mean, I'm pretty sure Mr. Enter has covered the Dumbass Dad trope a ton already
Morals in cartoons , sometimes they work and other times they clearly don't.
Sometimes it lands and sometimes it shits the bed
Polandgod 75 they hit and they miss
@@starmaker75 Yup
Water in a glass, sometimes it’s cold and other times it really isn’t.
Also can you do one on the “S/he bullies you because s/he likes you!” Trope? I remember being bullied so much in school and when I went to my teachers they always gave me that same excuse. It got to the point where the bullying made me not want to talk to anyone in class for years so seeing that in cartoons always makes me so mad.
"No substitute for parental guidance."
"All I know about being good I learned from TV."
One iffy moral I’ve seen in TV shows for kids is that they should always trust adults and never question what they say. I find it to be a really dangerous rule to follow, especially since there are many adults who do NOT always make the right decisions and in sadly many cases have very bad intentions.
yess more of this i love the idea !! i've thought about the concept of swearing for so long its cool to see someone else bring it up!
"Swearing is good for you" sometimes yes but not always. My main problem with swearing is that for me at least it reduces my ability to think of situation objectively making my self, in general more impulsive, maybe not by much but it does. I do agree that it reduces stress which is honestly a good use for it.
This video makes more sence than people saying swearing is criminal.
I agree with that. I have a friend who thinks swearing is bad for no other reason than "because it's bad", which is frankly stupid, imo. I can understand not wanting people to swear around you if you're not comfortable with it, but that doesn't mean they won't if you piss them off enough.
Man, the part about YT trying to appeal more to kids is so relevant right now
I totally agree about this. It's also horrible when a show twist a message, either on purpose or accident, so that it meets there view on the world and not reality. And I dont mean to make anyone made but Christian shows do this a lot. "Why is it bad" "because God said do. And if you don't agree he force you to spend eternity suffering." But completely I hate it when shows improperly tackle mental problems, suicide, serious illness, trauma/abuse, and death. Because a lot of the time the person suffering is fine by the end or it, resurrected, treated as a joke, or just a complete misunderstanding on what it is.
I feel like I made my own mini episode in this comment.
forgotten robot At least VeggieTales tries to explain their morals in greater detail than just “It’s bad/good because God says so.” I’m a christian myself, by the way.
@@troin3925 ok and I meant no insult but outa all I've seen that's how I've usually seen it.
forgotten robot No offense taken.
I agree they could do a better job of explaining the reasoning behind certain moral commandments. At the very least, however, "because God said so" is still a better reason (from a Christian perspective) than "because (human authority figure) said so" (because God is all-knowing and all-good, therefore, unlike a human authority figure, when He gives a command, He cannot be making a mistake or doing wrong). The position that God's will *alone* makes things good or evil, and that He could command evil to be good or good to be evil, is called Divine Command Theory, and I don't subscribe to it or think that it's correct, but it's still more defensible and interesting than many people think. Personally, I go for Natural Law Theory, but explaining *that* to a child would require a lot of skill.
Basically, yes, "because God said so" is an incomplete moral at best, but for a child's perspective it may be the only feasible way to explain something to them, given how complex the topic is.
One message from Sailor Mouth [Spongebob] is clear to me, no matter what else happened in it. There is nothing fancy about curse words. They do not "enhance" your sentences in any positive way. December 20, 2020, 9:49pm
Also, this trope "here's a bully/mean person who's giving me hell and the only way to fix them is, probably, be their friend."
Man, I tried that and ut fidn't work. My bullies became "non-existent" b/c they got in trouble and were kicked out/stormed out of class
A good explanation would be that it's unprofessional in a casual work conversation or in public. It shows a certain level of self control and respect for those around you.
Frick, crud, and peeve are less powerful versions of those words. It's the connotation of these words as opposed to their more powerful counterparts.
It's only seen as "unprofessional" because authoritarian fuckwits run the workplace.
@@MogofWar Not exactly. You've demonstrated why. Most swears are used in insults or they denote something that shouldn't be talked about in the workplace. It has nothing to do with "authoritarians" and everything to do with respecting the people around you and maintaining an orderly workplace.
@@Its_Brigid_at_it_again i agree with both of you. : )
@@cobraglatiator It's definitely an interesting topic, and I'm glad you're able to see and agree with multiple sides.
@@RyanStorey1231 How is it unprofessional to not swear? Not arguing, just curious
To be honest, the whole "swearing is bad" episodes never seemed like genuine morals to me. Even as a kid, I felt like the creators were just looking for excuses to sneak in their characters "swearing" on a kid's show.
Even from what I remember with “Sailor Mouth”, the whole episode came off to me almost as a satire of people’s sensitivity to swear words, rather than a serious moral intended to be conveyed (like how Mr. Krabs berates them so much for swearing one word, only to then stub his foot and hypocritically say every single curse word, prompting Spongebob and Patrick to run all the way to his mother’s house, just to say that an adult sweared).
MrEnter: Here's my thesis for why demonetizing curse words is pointless
Google/YT: Ok.
The End
I learned my first swear word when I was 2
The word was shit
How about crushes? It isn't touched on commonly but as a kid I remember being super confused by Helga's stalker - like obsession with Arnold.
Even when characters are just friends I feel fans still want to ship them. Where is the episodes that say it's alright for guys and girls to stay close friends and sometimes that's just as great as a relationship? Most shows don't touch the topic at all or they ship the main two characters. I kind of want to see rejection in a realistic way where they decide it's okay to stay friends.
Ps. I honestly love shows like Kim Possible that aren't afraid to show relationships. Similarly, I can (as an adult) accept Helga's crush as more or less a her thing, played up for comic relief. But I'd love to see more variety especially since that's something that could easily be tackled.
Yknow, that little rant about RUclips is one reason why CEO Susan is a boss in my KFAD Fangame as the right hand lady of Ynos
In it, she is represented as a robotic white colored knight wielding a cybernetic sledgehammer(which in term is a metaphor on how anyone can be deplatformed from her service at any time, even if you don’t break the guidelines)
In fact, the story mode of the KFAD Fangame is heavily based on Sony’s unlawful temporary takedown of the SiivaGunner channel(KFAD is an acronym of SiivaGunner’s King For A Day Tournament)
Mixed messages: be happy.
In defense of Sailor Mouth, Spongebob and Patrick were swearing a lot in a restaurant where people eat and you probably wouldn't want to think about shit or piss or cum or anything of the sort while eating. At some point Spongebob made an announce to the clients in which he used swears to describe the food at the Krusty Krab, which is bad for business.
Swearing is so trivial and harmless that House of the Dead: Overkill basically turned it into a joke, it was the one thing that everyone remembers about X-Men: First Class, and Samuel L. Jackson basically built his entire career around being the King of the F-Bomb (to the point where he was the very inspiration behind the parody character from the aforementioned HotD: Overkill, Isaac Washington... and *everyone* saw what they did there). Also, I personally find swears more funny when bleeped out, in particular being a sucker for the extended / repeated bleep gag.
Devil's advocate though, the real point of kids not swearing has nothing to do with kindness or anything of the sort. Those who don't swear are seen as being of a higher class, in a sense. Sure, communicating with swearing is easier and more direct, but to be able to communicate the same ideas without swearing is a sign of intellect and respect. For a similar example, there was an ancient Egyptian tradition of keeping one's left foot forward when personally addressing authorities, particularly the Pharaoh, and to do otherwise was extremely disrespectful. This is just as senseless as not swearing (and is about as effective at masking contempt for someone as not cursing them out would be) but the extra effort was the point. It was a sign that you were willing to go out of your way to show respect, even to the point of inconveniencing yourself. Such a person is the kind of person you can trust.
Generally, parents want their kids to be respectful of authority for reasons that any parent would find self-explanatory. To the rest, let's face it, kids left to their own devices are utter morons who tangibly lack experience with the world, and so their evaluations of those who deserve respect and those who don't are often a crapshoot at best. (And no, real life children are never "wise beyond their years" nearly as often as fiction might have you believe. It's the kind of wisdom that can pretty much only be learned through raw experience which the vast majority of children would lack, while the extreme minority tend to be the kinds born into war zones, criminal life, or other unenviable origins.) And so, until kids learn what kinds of people are worthy and unworthy of respect, best to err on the side of caution.

@@rhondahoward8025 I mean, you could male that argument about saying "Um" or "Like" 5 times in one sentence. By that point its clear you don't know how to communicate your thoughts clearly, but it lacks the vehement hatred people have of swearing.

I think the difference between how lesbians are potrayed vs. how gay men are potrayed could be an interesting topic.
Someone once said lesbians are often shown more due to the fact that they can be written off as friends or family in other countries so the show can still air overseas and dodge gay bans
Also lesbian are overall just more socially excepted due to people fetishizing them more over men......
Y e a h this WOULD make for a good topic actually
The Radionic Revival
Not just lesbians, bisexuals too. Have you ever noticed how many female bisexual characters there are, but pretty much no males? Pretty sure that’s because it plays into the male fantasy of a bi woman being available for a hot threesome while a man who they thought had the hots for a girl actually having the hots for them is considered a nightmare. The Yaoi fandom isn’t much better though.
Lyra and BonBon from MLP, for example? Also Juleka and Rose, plus Marc and Nathaniel from Miraculous Ladybug?
The Radionic Revival There’s a difference between being accepted and being fetishised. The fetishisation of lesbians treats these as sexual objects, and leads to some people feeling comfortable at leering at lesbian couples, or asking inappropriate questions about their sex lives. Even worse this fetishisation has led to violence. The incident in London a few months popped into my head immediately. Those two women were beaten bloody after they refused to kiss for a group of teen boys that had been harassing them.
Lesbian couples may or may not be more accepted in the western world, but it is certainly not due to fetishisation

One that would be good for you to cover is stranger danger. At it's core, it's basically "assume everyone you don't know is a pedophile", which definitely was harmful. A: It actually made you more susceptible to molestation as a kid because 80% of these acts among children are by people they know & trust, as well as B: Lost children have refused help from people who were just trying to get them home because of how ingrained ^ (added edit) it is (edit ends here) in their mind.
So my family had the rule of “you can swear but don’t let mom catch you.” Then it was adapted to “if you’re 18, have a job or are out of the house, aka an adult, you can swear whenever you want.” I always imagined it is because swearing was seen more as “disrespectful” and therefore wrong to say around your seniors. Like you wouldn’t swear like a sailor at your place of work or classroom or anywhere where you would need to be in respectful in (like church for example).
I guess that should be taught to kids. Being respectful, not sheer obedience alone.
When the Normans invaded England in 1066, they found some Anglo-Saxon words so crude that they were labeled swears.
Yeah, seriously.
If I had a dime for every time Mr enter started a new series and never continued beyond episode one or two, it’d be half a dollar by now
Actually I think Sailor Mouth handles swearing wonderfully. Mr Krabs the very person who told them to not swear says all thirteen bad words. While it doesn’t say swearing is good it shows that adults can sometimes be wrong about things like this
I'm really enjoying these new series! I've been inactive on this channel for a while, but you are really stepping up your game again! Keep up the great work Mr. Enter! Can't wait to see more
Suggestion... I do not like the way many kids shows display the idea that simply apologizing will fix any problems and will not have any future consequences. As we all know, reality doesn't work that way, and I know a lot of kids who do apologise, but they think they are excused from all responsibility, and they assume that they're the victim if the former statement is not true. It's something that always bothered me personally. It's mostly in educational television, but that kinda makes it worse in it's impacts. Idk. I'll check whatever you do either way.
I hate that my mom thinks I do this. I'm not frykng to excuze myself, really. I just have a hard time remembering to work on things.
Stephen Heffen, Well, if you're actually sorry about the action that you caused, then maybe it's ok, but if you aren't actually and want to excuse your actions, then maybe not.
I loved this video, please do one on the "never lie, it's ways bad" trope. It's not a bad moral, just over simplified sometimes.
Episode suggestion : The era of TV that led to those Sonic Sez/Sailor Moon Says/etc bits where watchdog groups got the government to legislate educational content into kid shows.
I think your decreased amount of swearing is a sign of you becoming more mature. You begin to learn when the expletive matches the situation as you gain experience. I liked the video! Great job!
I unfortunately have a very visual mind, which means that until recently I'd visualze the literal definition of the word. Gee sure was fun.
I agree that among adults its all well and good, but I really didn't need those images as a kid.
Enter. I'mma just say it. We need more people with your mindset in this world. People who aren't overly sensitive, people who actually want to have civil conversations instead of using the internet as a fire pit to call out others and destroy their esteem, and people who put their two cents out in spite of what others may say against it. Please continue this series, mate! This is a fantastic pilot!
I would really like this series to continue, I really like it. Why hasn't this series picked up yet?
