5:55 You should look up Tiny Toon Adventure when three kids also submit an episode idea that got made! Can't remember the title name but it was when they to Hawaii for holiday and a series of event made it the worst holiday ever!
I have only one thing to say to the bad critics that try to demean this episode made by a 6 1/2 year old: "You are stupid! You are stupid! And let's not forget, YOU ARE STUPID!"
@@victorhernandez8723 it’s true, a member of staff that worked on show confirm he sent in audio, that they asked him record it for an episode and that appeared he’s an opera singer.
This episode stuck with me as a kid because it was so weird without context. Then when i rewatched it as an adult i imagined it must've been of one of the show creators kids improvising an episode while they all listened and recorded it lol, but i guess it was just a random fan all along? That's cool! Still one of my favorite episodes to this day.
It's legitimately heartwarming and fun. The show always had that goofy charm to it, like in that one Chuck-e Cheese episode where the showrunners left an animation goof of the audience flying into the air because the overseas animators misinterpreted the animatic's notes.
This episode had me cracking up as a kid. I’ll always remember my mom, who has since passed away, repeating the line “you are stuuuupid, you are stuuuuupid” to me and both of us cracking up. I loved this episode.
My cousin and I used to quote the "You are stupid" bit all the time. I didn't hate this episode at any point, but the "You are Stupid" line was the only part I love keeping that much. Side note- I hated how Robot Rampage has multiple Dexter costumes, but no real benefits for selecting a specific one.
Dude I never knew people forgot about this. I distinctly remember the commercials on TV about the contest. I didn't finish my "script" in time. I also remember watching the episode in absolute awe. I mean, its every kid's dream to write a story for their favorite show. And Tyler won! He achieved the dream! The only other times I know kids sows did something like this was Arthur (winning script was super meta and way ahead of its time) and ATLA canonizing a fan's OC.
At the time, I wasn't aware of the contest. I do remember seeing this episode when it aired. I usually woke up early to watch, either before school, or before mom would change it to The Waltons. I found it to be quite hilarious as a kid. well until I inhaled some marshmellow mateys. The only part that caught me odd was, why would dexter be mean to computress after they teamed up to destroy Mandark. Although, Dexter being mean to anything connected to Mandark would be something I could easily see him do.
A legal nightmare indeed. As I understand it, Nintendo refuses fan idea submissions specifically because of the legal issues. It's cool that this was able to happen.
I never saw this episode as a kid and I'm only now hearing about it thanks to this being in my RUclips Home recommendations. As an adult I can appreciate how charming and silly it is to let a 6 year old write an episode and just play it straight. IDK how kid me would of reacted to this if he saw this on TV. I guess I'll never know. lol
Was "You are stoooopid" not something Dexter said a lot prior? My memory is crap but I felt like that was something Dexter did and the kid just took it and ran with it. If the kid really concocted that bit on his own thats even better. I think also as a kid I assumed this was supposed to be like a class project and the mom was his teacher.
Nah you’re not wrong he would say it in some episodes, I can’t give a perfect example of where he says it but I vaguely remember a part where Deedee I think has a something or knows something and is locked in her room and Dexter wants to know or have it and is at her door then says something like “you know what you are stooopid” then walks away bender style saying things like he doesn’t care or something only to come back begging few seconds later
He said it in "Way of the Dee Dee" back in Season 1 when she is dancing around behind him and crashes into some equipment, so I imagine it was probably a call back to that but what do I know. ruclips.net/video/htnGOOnLVgY/видео.html
2:38 Can we take a moment to appreciate the weirdly smooth Computris turn? Also, thank you, my sibling and I were trying to remember the oddly specific topic of rebranded game topics for, like a week. It was Crazy Castle. And yes, "And don't forget, you are stupid" lives rent free in my head.
I always found this to be one of the most hilarious Dexter's Lab episodes precisely because of the absolute non-sense of it, and the animators really put in the effort by making the art kinda crude and keeping in obvious gaffes such as _"AND THEN DEXTER SAID!" [chokes]_ and it's impossible to not laugh in the both times it happens! They even bothered to include Tyler's mom's head whenever she can be heard in the recording Also, _"You're STUPID! You're STUPID! And don't forget: YOU'RE STUPID!"_ is the most quotable phrase from the show, even better than "omelette du ffomage"
I never really gave this episode much thought, I figured it must have been an episode they wrote and just had a family member read. Hearing it was completely written by the kid is really amazing.
I use to love this episode. It was so delightfully silly. At the time I never knew it was actually done by a 6 year old. I assumed it was just narrated by a kid whose parent worked on the show.
I think *Dexter and Computress Get Mandark!* might have been placed to fill in Dexter’s Rude Removal(an unreleased episode that had censored swearing and a rather crude title card).
4:02 There’s also a Master System game called “Mônica no Castelo do Dragão”. It’s “Wonderboy in Monster World” remade with characters from a brazilian comic series, it’s very cute.
Honestly, I always thought this episode was the result of the Make-A-Wish foundation, or some other similar organization. Glad to hear the kid that made this is fine.
This was honestly one of the most iconic episodes for me. Just the idea that a 6 1/2 year old kid could be responsible for an episode of a show that was such a big part of my childhood was insane to me, and even looking back on it now I can't help but smile at how cute and silly it is. I wanna go back and time and give that kid a pat on the head, but I'll still be happy with shaking the hand of the present-day opera singer.
That FusionFall design for Dexter is actually really cool, I could see it working really well for a spinoff/reboot series with more of an anime inspiration to it. The Ed Boys look cursed though, I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with those designs but that's a swing and a miss right there.
I personally liked this Dexter’s Laboratory episode. Sure, it’s a little convoluted. Keep in mind, Tyler Samuel Lee was only 6 and a half years old when he wrote and voiced this episode. So of course it would have flubs since he’s was still young. But despite the flaws, it shows the dedication and admiration Lee had for Dexter’s Laboratory. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made this episode at all. Plus Lee’s imitations of Dexter and Mandark were funny!
When I first watched the episode, I'd figured that either the writers had had way, WAY too good of a bowl in that meeting, or it was literally written by a kid. Still laugh out loud funny though.
This episode was actually kinda a cool concept and in a weird way very nice. Imagine being a kid and being told you get to make your own Dexter's Laboratory episode
Also, to answer your Christmas question, obviously "Dexter vs. Santa's Claws" was paired with "Dexter and Computress Get Mandark" along with the Justice Friends short: "Pain in the Mouth".
This is one of the very few episodes I remember, I loved it then for it's silliness, and I still love it now. This was back in a time where things seemed so much more simple and legalities weren't (as much of) a nightmare as they seem to be now
Waaaait, people didn't realize this was written by a child? I was 9 or 10 when I saw this episode in Spanish (my native tongue) the first time, and I was like "A child wrote this?? Awesome!!". 20 years and a bit later as an adult I'm realizing how wholesome this actually is, and how nice was the studio to take seriously his idea.
I think it’s sweet when shows are able to grant kid’s wishes by letting either characters or ideas for episodes shine. It shows that the creators care a lot about their fans.
I remember the contest. I'm pretty sure I tried to enter it. The funny thing was that the comercial had a kid dressed like dexter and I could swear they said the winner would get their own lab. My sister promised she wouldn’t break anything if I won lol. That line is iconic and Dexters Lab wouldn’t be quite the same without it.
One of the few moments when a whole animation studio lets a 6 year old fan make the story of the episode, and even narrate it too. I vaugely remember this episode
Yeah see, they had a normal voice actor do a kids voice for the brazilian dub, so all this time I just thought the screenwriters were taking the piss with this episode.
When we got our cable package and it added Cartoon Network, this was the first episode of Dexter's Lab I ever saw. For a little while I assumed that this was a normal format for the show.
I discovered the newspaper article because TV tome and fandom previously mentioned it was a "contest submission". So i thought about what prizes theyd won, what the *other* submissions possibly were, and also *"what contest?"* Then my mind just blew and ended up making this episode more special for me
Seeing this as a kid was so bizarre for me. I had no idea what was going on and all that stuck with me was Mandark’s head swelling and “You are stupid!”.
I used to watch Dexter’s Lab back in like 2014 on Boomerang (they would air reruns even after 10 years of being cancelled), I used to really like it when I was in like Kindergarten. It also got me into liking 90’s media with it! But this episode inspired me to start writing fan made episodes and I tried to mail it to CN, I later found out a few years later Dexter was cancelled in 2003. But either way it changed my perspective on 90’s stuff as a whole.
The kid showed up on Instagram and he got a nice art signed with "Tyler, thanks for helping us make a great Dexter's Lab episode. Your pal Glen tartakovsky" 😊
"He would show off the episode in school and becoming the coolest kid there" I BET HE WOULD! Even in the early 2000s, Dexter's Lab was still loved by kids! Such as myself and everyone at my school. Back in my school back in the day, If someone in our class did an episode on Cartoon Network, I KNOW our entire school would freak over that kid! Cartoon Network was one of the best channels! Today, sadly it's nothing. But it won't be forgotten.
I wasn't even born when this episode aired, but I recently saw it on Adult Swim. I didn't think it was actually written by a kid, but I thought the joke was to make the episode look like it was written by a kid, so I assumed Tyler wasn't even a real kid.
@@Phils_Horrible_World At least on Latin American Adult Swim, they show "Dexter's Laboratory" as part of the "Checkered Past" segment. This episode must have aired about a month or two ago.
Hearing those people who wrote negative reviews, do they take Dexter's Lab too seriously or something? I can understand maybe not enjoying the episode, tho I've always liked it, but literal child wrote it. Good on Tyler for this wonderful episode and his opera career
When we first saw it, my whole family thought it was the funniest thing EVER. We'd quote it all the time, especially "and then Dexter said...." whenever we lost our train of thought.
Wow I didn't realize I had comments disabled for the past day. Whoops
YOU ARE STUUUPPPIIID!

YOU ARE STUUUPPPIIID!

@Vox-Multis YOU ARE STOOOOOPID!
@@youngmasterzhi Lmaoooooooooooooo
"You are stupid! You are stupid! And don’t forget! You are stupid!"
most memorable line
Ikr?? That sticks with me the most and I only seen this episode once in my life
I saw the thumbnail and read the title and immediately said that same line cause it was so memorable LOL
My sisters and I still quote that at each other to this day.
Same, it's basically burned in my brain at this point.
☠️
"you are stupid" was something that existed at the back of my mind for over a decade and a half and i had no idea which episode it was from
Dude bruh SAME I just had a crazy realization dumped on me today XD
"Dont forget, youre stupid."
"And you are stuuuupiiiiiid!"
I thought it was just a quote or catchphrase. Completely forgot it was from this episode.
I remember him saying it to DeeDee. I'm having like a Mandela effect moment.
Imagine you are a child, and suddenly you hear your 6yo neighbor narrating an official Dexter's Lab episode on tv
You’d probably be too young to understand just how weird that is.
1:35 The absolute disrespect
He just told you he's six AND A HALF years old
And the article at 1:52 said he was SEVEN years old! Poor Tyler, facing so much disrespect at such a young age...
I have only one thing to say to the bad critics that try to demean this episode made by a 6 1/2 year old: "You are stupid! You are stupid! And let's not forget, YOU ARE STUPID!"
People who hate the episode are just jealous it didn't happened to them.
Seriously, what kind of person sees something like this and goes "Yeah... but it could be better".
Boy, get outta here with that nonsense!
I mean it’s not my cup of tea but it’s kinda adorable that a kid wrote it and wholesome and sweet the show animated it
It’s honestly my favorite
No, we hate it because it sucks.
Shut up its better than the last episodes of dexter's lab@@franknacc1718
Kinda poetic how the guy who brought a kid's imagination to life went on to make Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
I never hated the episode, but never realized the show was written by a kid even when watching the episode years later. Amazing.
Dexter's Lab is so formative in my brain that I always hear "Amazing" in the narrator's voice from the "Blackfoot" episode.
I grew up with Tyler Lee, he's the man. Haven't talked to him in a few years, he's out in Chicago I think. Brilliant opera singer
Could you repeat that last part? I think I might have misread read it.
Nice!

“And don’t forget, you are stuuupid.” Was constantly referenced by me and my siblings. It’s a great episode.
Not surprising that Tyler went and did opera after watching the opening theme song of Dexter's Lab a bajillion times.
The ending was the opera song.
This episode had me cracking up as a kid. I’ll always remember my mom, who has since passed away, repeating the line “you are stuuuupid, you are stuuuuupid” to me and both of us cracking up. I loved this episode.

Side note- I hated how Robot Rampage has multiple Dexter costumes, but no real benefits for selecting a specific one.
Yeah it's such an odd choice to have the costumes do nothing
Tyler needs to post a video of himself singing the Dexter's Lab theme.
great idea!
So true
I started looking for this comment after it was revealed that he's an opera singer now
That's such a cool twist, let's ask him!
The episode "Labretto" would be fun too. But only if he wants to do it.
The Computress in FusionFall is actually Computer(Dexter’s Computer)upgraded to a mobile model.
I realize, but interesting they gave the computer the name of an already existing character
"And then dexter said...."
* long beep sound *
UUUUUUUHHHHHH
"YOU ARE STUUUUUPID! YOU ARE STUUUUUUUUUPID! And don't forget, YOU ARE STUUUUUUUUUPID!"
YEW ARE STEWWWPID!
YEW ARE STEWWWPID!
YEW ARE STEWWWPID!
And don't forget:
YEW ARE STEWWWPID!
I always loved that line.
This episode always made made me die laughing this kid was a visionary
To this very day I still quote this amazing episode, especially "You are stupid, you are stupid, and don't forget; YOU ARE STUPID". 10/10 writting.

That's how I remember it going down. The premiere being a whole deal and such.
I swear that was a thing.
Fun Fact: Computress went on to become Dexters staple OS and is a very important character in the Fusion Fall saga.
"You are stupid! You are stupid! And don't forget, you are stupid!" Is one of those things that's one of my many verbal tics
A legal nightmare indeed. As I understand it, Nintendo refuses fan idea submissions specifically because of the legal issues. It's cool that this was able to happen.
Nintendo does love threatening legal action
One of Wander over Yonder's best episodes was written by a kid, too. It's insane just how imaginative kids are compared to adults.
Really? Which episode?

i remember falling asleep with my tv on and woke up real late at night to this episode playing. def one of my favorites
Dee Dee, get out of my laboratory!
I imagine the "old Jewish man" voice sounded like Old Dexter. XD
For some reason I was immediately thinking it would have sounded like the grandpa from Rugrats.
This episode has always confused me on what it was.
This is one of my favorites. As a kid, it made me laugh more than most other episodes.
He's possibly in his late 20s early 30s by now
I wonder if he’s still writing?
He's 33 as of today
I never really gave this episode much thought, I figured it must have been an episode they wrote and just had a family member read. Hearing it was completely written by the kid is really amazing.

Me 2.
I think *Dexter and Computress Get Mandark!* might have been placed to fill in Dexter’s Rude Removal(an unreleased episode that had censored swearing and a rather crude title card).
the fact he didnt mention doki doki panic becoming super mario bros 2 really grinds my gears, how did he NOT mention it
I remember the episode making me laugh so hard when I was a kid.
Totally remember this one! Glad Tyler is doing well for himself :)
Even when I was younger, I always thought this was a fun charming thing done by the showrunners.
The way everything flashed back when I heard “you are stupid”
4:02 There’s also a Master System game called “Mônica no Castelo do Dragão”. It’s “Wonderboy in Monster World” remade with characters from a brazilian comic series, it’s very cute.
My mother and I still reference "You are stupid" to this day two and a half decades later.
Honestly, I always thought this episode was the result of the Make-A-Wish foundation, or some other similar organization. Glad to hear the kid that made this is fine.
"Tyler said he liked Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and said he could do an 'old jewish mans voice' impersonation."
Kid was based before his time.
Was he Bobby Hill? 'Wadda you talking about? Wadda you talking about?"
If he's still like this I'd love to have a few drinks with him
This episodes ending lives in my head, havent stopped quoting the "you are stoopid" part in years
2:23 He was the art director for numerous other episodes of the show, too, from the second half of Season 2.
I recall seeing this episode and being confused but didn't really have any complaints, it's a very cute charming diversion from the usual :)
You're so underrated that you don't even have comments that you're underrated! (until I arrived)
Thanks for watching and commenting. It's really because I accidentally turned off comments for the first 20 hours this vid was up lol

Excellent presentation.
I completely forgot about this episode, but 5:34 _promptly_ jogged my memory.
It's the best scene lol
It'd be pretty cool if Tyler was down to do some sort of Reddit AMA to talk about his experiences with this.
I'm doing an AMA on my Instagram today actually!
When I first watched the episode, I'd figured that either the writers had had way, WAY too good of a bowl in that meeting, or it was literally written by a kid.
Still laugh out loud funny though.
from animator as a kid to a ice hockey player to oprah singer
This episode was actually kinda a cool concept and in a weird way very nice.
Imagine being a kid and being told you get to make your own Dexter's Laboratory episode
Real talk, that "You are stupid" part is one of the most iconic lines in the entire series, it lives in my head rent free.

Now I get it why this episode felt so different from other episodes. I never got it as a kid that it was written by another kid
Thats awesome
This episode lives rent free in my head.
Same here
This episode is just wholesome at his finest
When we first saw it, my whole family thought it was the funniest thing EVER. We'd quote it all the time, especially "and then Dexter said...." whenever we lost our train of thought.
I never knew about this, and this is literally the best thing ever
