For more controversial lists, check these videos out: ruclips.net/video/4Rl4Be0yyuw/видео.html Which cartoon episode did YOU find the most controversial?
I think the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Just One Bite was controversial because in the original October 2001 Nickelodeon airing, there was a scene when Squidward breaks in to The Krusty Krab. At the entrance, Squidward saw a bucket thought it supposed to be a burgler alarm, however it was a bucket of gas and a light match randomly appeared causing him to blow up. When he went to the kitchen for the patty vault, there was another bucket full of gas and Squidward blows up again. Sadly, that scene was permanently removed from future TV airings likely due to the infamous terrorist attacks of September 11th of that year.
controversy doesnt bother me, in reality what bothers me is how it bothered so many people. for example "One Beer", they were trying to send a good message there, but the outrage was so loud, they had to remove it. sheesh, it's a good thing Roseanne did a good episode on alcohol, so at least kids can learn somewhere.
Well, Looney Tunes is a franchise that focuses a lot in children, so mixing that with things like alcohol, drugs, or even worse things could not only scare children, but confuse them too. It also depends on HOW you send the message if your episode will include a life lesson. It's like showing you that killing is bad when one of the characters actually gets killed in the episode
@@270MOX or like in Gargoyles where Eliza was shot with a gun, honestly i think that the lesson can be delivered in a blunt way, especially when you're trying to keep them from doing something horribly destructive.
Mr. Krabs sold SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents, fired SpongeBob for a nickel, and drove SpongeBob insane because Krabs won't rehire Squidward for his first dime. And yet Spongebob is still loyal to his boss and job 💯😇😔🙏💯
Don't forget the episode where SpongeBob was asleep because his alarm clock was busted, and anytime he arrived late, Mr Krabs would always mark SpongeBob as Late!
That story about why Issac Hayes left South Park has since been debunked. By the time of release he was actually pretty unwell and although he wanted to keep going his family took it unto themselves to have him retire so he could spend the rest of his life as comfortable as possible. Although he didn't find the episode funny Hayes held no bad vibes towards Parker & Stone.
Although, Hayes did said that he was against the episode but that was NOT the reason why he left. Hayes actually left because of what you said. Also, some of Hayes friends and family members have said that the reason that he said that he was against the episode was because he was feeling depressed since he knew that he was going to die. He was a little touchy back then.
so Isaac Hayes didnt die in a plane crash?? damn, well either way it sounds like God wasnt happy that Chef was leaving South Park, cant blame him, Chef was my fave character too.
I never knew that Spongebob episode was controversial. That’s very fascinating. I always thought One Coarse Meal would have been the one that caused a lot of controversy.
im an OG from this channel and i remember in one of WatchMojos old videos, one course meal was #1 for darkest episode beating south park, a pal for gary as well
Lol it aired in my country. 🤣 more than forty times even. It was on constant replay. 🤣🤣🤣 i guess the dudes in the network had a wonderful sense of humor.
I know, I loved that episode, it taught me nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with lightening dark things for kids in the terms of not making unemployment really depressing.
You think Arthur episode, "Bleep", and Dexter's, "Rude Removal", wouldn't have been controversial and aired more often if they replaced the beeping sounds with other sound effects like what they did with Spongebob episode, "Sailor Mouth" & Powerpuff Girls episode, "Curses"?
Yeah but I feel like it had more impact on the public and more talked about and secondly there's way more people dealing with suicide unemployment is nothing to the lives people have taken
drawn together was sick but i dont think it was popular enough then or even now to warrant any outrage because people only wanna cancel things that are popular cos it gives them meaning to their pathetic meaningless lives
@matt alan that's exactly why I am wondering why it's on here. It's not like it was on when kids could watch it I don't know why people just don't watch shows like this if they are easily offended. Shouldn't those people be in bed by then? LOL
If you guys thought "Man's Best Friend" was violent, wait until you see the kind of shit they made with "Ren Seeks Help." That thing was little more than gleeful sadism in physical form... and is among the scariest things I've seen animated. Let me just say this: When a character facing the prospect of being killed is accompanied with happy music, it'll send shivers down your spine...
I managed to watch the “200” and “201” episode when they first aired, and I seriously thought that Matt and Trey bleeped the lesson at the end on purpose. They did not.😳
yeah at least it worked out especially when theres been at least 2 eps where kyle talking about teaching lessons or rambling or whatever was mentioned in the show by other characters who thought it was annoying
I still could only watch that episode once because it was just... bad. I mean I get what they tried to do but ultimately a completely beeped out episode kind of sucks.
I'm pretty sure somebody pointed that out already. But the controversial SpongeBob episode is the 11th episode of the 9th season? Talk about 9/11 controversy!
Yes NSL has Child abuse elements in it plus may I add One Coarse Meal from Spongebob It indirectly made fun of suicide(Nick doesn’t know about Spongebob’s issue during the modern era?)
damn, i didn't know that Ren And Stimpy episode was taken off, it was always in my DVD set of Ren and Stimpy, that episode never bothered me as a kid, considering people were ok with Homer constantly strangling Bart and other cartoonish violence
Huh, you guys might want to double check the Ren and Stimpy thing. Those are not cigars, they are fake dog poop made of rubber. You guys have seriously never heard of calling dog poop lawn cigars?
Yeah, don't get why South Park episode on Scientology was considered controversial. It IS a scam. As far as I'm concerned, that episode was a great PSA.
American media scream about the threat from China whilst ignoring the insidious behaviour of Scientology. In the past it has infiltrated areas of government just like foreign spies might do. I'm all for the separation of church and state but when the church is an obvious criminal enterprise that enslaves people then government should crush them. I'm looking at you Scientology, Mormonism, Christian mega-churches....
What about the episode “No Such Luck” from The Loud House, it’s so controversial because There’s Child Abuse elements(plus the fans are so pissed off about that episode, they made endless fanfics and memes about No Such Luck)
I’m Jewish and I don’t find that Wish upon a Weinstein episode that offensive. The domestic violence episode of Quagmire’s sister is the worst. Also where Arthur’s big hit? That’s worse than Bleep. And the Scientology episode only offended the Hollywood elitists like Tom Cruise, because Hollywood celebrities are lunatics!
Tbh you wouldn't be watching family guy if that episode was gonna offend you. I can understand complaints about the actual kids cartoons(didn't offend me and I'd let my kids watch them but parents can be ove-protective) but family guy aNd south park try to offend everyone and their fans know it, so to laugh at a mockery of Amish, Mormons or Catholics and then get offended by jokes about Jews would be low. It amazes me anyone would complain about a certain episode of South park, If you don't like offensive cartoons why are you watching, South park, know what I mean? Not personally, I'm a fan of the show, but I can understand why someone would be offended by the show itself, but to complain about one episode cos it was antisemitic means you're ok with anti-catholicism, anti-scientology etc etc
@@Bobbb-f3i I do feel like cartoons need to be careful with religion, since some jokes might push bigotry rather than just showing that religious people are actually good people. That South Park episode actually showed Mormons aren’t hurting anyone. As long they’re not discriminating or using propaganda in cartoons, I don’t mind if they make an episode centered on Judaism.
@@Markimark151 I meant if you were they type of person to be offended by jokes based at religion, you wouldn't be watching South park or you would be the worst kind of bigot to laugh at the anti-catholic jokes but we're offended at the anti-Semitic jokes
@@Bobbb-f3i I don’t think people should be hypocritical, especially towards Catholics, because there’s religious persecution in northern Ireland, that’s something equivalent to the holocaust. South Park mocks many religions, like they did with the Islam and they got backlash from ADL, but there wasn’t much backlash with Pope John Paul II.
ACTUALLY, Issac Hayes didn't leave South Park because of the Scientology Episode, he actually left due to his health, and the Church of Scientology used the timing, his practice, and the show as an excuse to 'advocate' for Issac. He suffered a major heart attack and couldn't voice act any longer, and was convinced by his son to depart from the show because of his newly acquitted limitations. Issac has even stated that he and the creators of South Park are still very close friends to this day, and he always respects them! :D
Huey: The typical Winston Jerome movie involves a beautiful, intelligent, professional black woman trapped in a troubled marriage with the dark skinned bald dude from Law and Order.
Speaking of Bleep from Arthur, the episode Sailor Mouth from SpongeBob taught us the same thing, don’t ever say hurtful words especially not adults who have jobs, if you say a curse word at work, you’re boss will fired you.

I think you guys should finally do Top 10 Worse Things To Happen To Kyle Broflovski. Y’all have been posting more South Park content than usual lately and after everything Kyle has endured, he deserves an episode dedicated to him.
i don’t think Sundae Muddy Sundae is controversial(I know that The TD Fandom Felt Bad for Courtney) it must be part of a Top 20 list of Worst Cartoon Episodes
Here are some honorable mentions: - The Mask (Courage the Cowardly Dog): Depiction of racism, sexism, domestic abuse, and homosexuality. - Leap Frogs (Rocko's Modern Life): Mrs. Bighead tried to make an affair with Rocko ! - Hot Spells (Darkwing Duck): Gosalyn made a deal with the devil ! - The Mask of Matches Malone ! (Batman: The Brave and the Bold): The sexual innuendo song by the Birds of Prey. - No Such Luck (The Loud House): The realistic depiction of child abuse. - Equal Fights (The Powerpuff Girls): It feels more like feminazi propaganda rather than teaching us about the real meaning of feminism.
What about “The Hero” from The Amazing World of Gumball? Did the writers watched The Equal Fights episode from PPG and made Nicole and Anais act like Femme Fatale? Nicole and Anais are about to become feminist Icons in cartoon network, and the writers fucked them up with that scene and made them Misandrists
14:30 As a Brazilian, that’s exactly how it is here. No joke now, idk why people got offended, because everyone I know thought the episode was hilarious
Lol I just watched the Tiny Toons Adventures Episode "One Beer" on my feed of Boomerang. LMAO cause I don't live in the USA. Even the Dexter's Laboratory one on Cartoon Network.
With the exception of the Arthur entry, all of the entries on this list were already discussed in _two_ previous countdowns on the subject (Phoebe even narrates Rebecca’s original commentaries word-for-word).
Perhaps it's because I was a clueless kid, but the Tale Spin episode was just entertainment to me. We hadn't even learned about WWII yet. It didn't indoctrinate me with racism and stereotypes regarding Asian Americans. But I also live in a region with a higher than average AAPI population percentage.
What about the episode "Deadly Force" from "Gargoyles"? While most people consider it to be a very good message for gun safety, it was still controversial enough to get banned from syndication airings on Toon Disney for a while.
The fact that SpongeBob has so many controversial episodes is mindbuggling and most of the controversial episodes are either from the show’s darkest and golden periods and they all have something in common, I was not offended by any of them other than the season 7 episodes. Sailor Mouth and Mid Life Crusadian are forever legendary. Paul Tibbit definitely killed the series’s quality for years until it improved in 2015 when Steven came back before his death.
I like how HBO max doesn't have those south park episodes. It's a paid streaming app, with 200 and 201 that could be one of the few ways to watch them. But I guess it's my argument for a lot of stuff that if you don't like what you're watching, change the channel.
I’m going to say it, I’m going to say it, *South park is way too overrated* I said it, and I’m sticking by it, I just don’t like South Park. Edit: I just watched up to season 13, and I love the show now
I Did Not Knew That Pokemon Had An Controversial Episode In Its Early Seasons... And Even So, In This Day Nintendo Have Made Some Controversy On Their Franchise's. (HELLO FIRE EMBLEM FATES)
I watched Bleep when it aired and what’s even more shocking is that Arthur isn’t the only animated kids show to focus on the negative consequences of swearing. There’s also the SpongeBob episode Sailor Mouth which is basically the same thing as Bleep!
Spongebob creators did it better, because they had fun cartoon sound effects when the bad words were being said, so it wasn't as easy to decipher as Bleep was
200 is the one South Park episode that is so bad that it made me decide to NEVER watch South Park! Mostly because of its controversial undertones, but ALSO because they decided to mock Tim Burton!
🙄 The best episode of Dexter's lab! Controversy is needed in kids shows. It's unrealistic for them to think everyone is always good and happy all the time
I’m so glad I’ve got South Park episode 200 and 201 on Blu-ray! I don’t get why everyone was so pestered by it. It makes a great case of freedom of speech. Either it’s all ok or none of it ok.
As a muslim, we ourselves are prohibited to even draw the phophet. It is our believed. I don't know how the episode go by. But it is not the issue of freedom of speech. It is our believe And our religion believes. Atleast there should a responsibility as a person to respect other religions believe.
I remember watching the cussing Arthur episode with my mum and we were both taken back. It was more cringe than anything seeing kids swearing at each other
Glad Mighty Mouse got a mention..... I use to love that cartoon when I was a kid... I was sad that they stopped airing.... Now i see why they stopped ☹️
There are recently 2 Spongebob episodes that have been banned. One is from the golden age of the show. A season 3 episode called “Mid-Life Crustacean” shows Mr. Krabs feeling down in the dumps because he’s thought of as old by not only his daughter Pearl but the other citizens of Bikini Bottom. At the Krusty Krab he overhears Soongebob and Patrick taking about their big night on the town. He asks if he can be included and they agree. What ensues is one of the lamest nights known to man. Mr. Krabs calls them out for not being cool and Patrick livens up the evening by saying they were planning on participating in a panty raid. This significantly cheers Mr. Krabs up and he’s feeling like his old self again until he realizes the panty raid is taking place at his mother’s house. She catches him and grounds him for the rest of the night. I personally have always loved this episode but once the show was added to Paramount+ it was decided that this episode should not be included because of the panty raid scene. Also Nickelodeon has decided to never air this episode again on cable. The scene is pretty innocuous even by today’s standards (episode aired originally just about 20 years ago) so I was surprised its been banned. The other episode that has been banned and has actually never seen the light of day is a more recent episode slated to come out some time last year called “Kwarantined Krabs.” I don’t know much about the episode other than that a virus spreads around the Krusty Krab and everyone associated has to be quarantined until it passes. This episode was banned for obvious reasons due to the COVID pandemic and for people potentially thinking this episode would make light of a serious situation. However, the show’s production team said they had the idea for this episode well before the pandemic hit and it was just a case of poor timing with its release. Who knows if this episode will ever air in any form. There was also one additional episode of Family Guy to mention. It’s the infamous episode where Lois gets an abortion. I believe in this episode Lois becomes a surrogate for friends who can’t have a baby on their own. Later down the road the wife does become pregnant and Lois’ services are no longer needed. She then has the agonizing decision of whether to continue the pregnancy or have an abortion. I remember this episode was supposed to air for either the 7th or 8th season in like 2009. There was a lot of controversy surrounding this episode particularly because it would have aired on Fox and we all know their stance on abortion. As far as I know, unlike with “When You Wish Upon a Weinstein” which ultimately aired years later on Adult Swim, this other episode has never aired on tv in any form. I do believe it was included on the DVD box set from the season it was slated for. At the time it was the only way to see this episode. I’m sure of you look hard enough you can find it online somewhere these days.
Seriously WatchMojo, how many times are you going to do the same Top 10/20 countdowns?! You must be desperate having ran out of ideas. It would be funny if it wasn't so pitiful.

I say the same thing now looking back at it
It always amazes me how much more American censors care about sex, swearing, and drugs, than they do about violence. Kinda nuts
You got to leave one funny things

i was thinking that "mr rattburn gets married" would be there
@@RockerMicke1
I've heard about the character from 'Arthur.'
Him and his life partner got married in the special episode.
I’m Jewish and I don’t find that Wish upon a Weinstein episode that offensive. The domestic violence episode of Quagmire’s sister is the worst. Also where Arthur’s big hit? That’s worse than Bleep. And the Scientology episode only offended the Hollywood elitists like Tom Cruise, because Hollywood celebrities are lunatics!
Duh
Tbh you wouldn't be watching family guy if that episode was gonna offend you. I can understand complaints about the actual kids cartoons(didn't offend me and I'd let my kids watch them but parents can be ove-protective) but family guy aNd south park try to offend everyone and their fans know it, so to laugh at a mockery of Amish, Mormons or Catholics and then get offended by jokes about Jews would be low. It amazes me anyone would complain about a certain episode of South park, If you don't like offensive cartoons why are you watching, South park, know what I mean? Not personally, I'm a fan of the show, but I can understand why someone would be offended by the show itself, but to complain about one episode cos it was antisemitic means you're ok with anti-catholicism, anti-scientology etc etc
@@Bobbb-f3i I do feel like cartoons need to be careful with religion, since some jokes might push bigotry rather than just showing that religious people are actually good people. That South Park episode actually showed Mormons aren’t hurting anyone. As long they’re not discriminating or using propaganda in cartoons, I don’t mind if they make an episode centered on Judaism.
@@Markimark151 I meant if you were they type of person to be offended by jokes based at religion, you wouldn't be watching South park or you would be the worst kind of bigot to laugh at the anti-catholic jokes but we're offended at the anti-Semitic jokes
@@Bobbb-f3i I don’t think people should be hypocritical, especially towards Catholics, because there’s religious persecution in northern Ireland, that’s something equivalent to the holocaust. South Park mocks many religions, like they did with the Islam and they got backlash from ADL, but there wasn’t much backlash with Pope John Paul II.
I was surprised they did not include Darkwing Duck with the abrupt removal of the Hot Spells episode.
1. I saw the Tiny Toons episode when it first aired, and it was more cringe than controversial.
2. Barbequor ep was the best one in the series.
I saw the episode rude removal on TV, when I was a kid.
I remember that episode on cartoon network too.. It def aired
Me too. Good ol' earlies 2000. None gave a fuck for minor problems because social media weren't mainstream yet.
@@ioantaf4150 Oh, they did, but these morons didn't yet have a platform.
What the fuck?
I actually remember seeing the "Bleep" episode. It's one of the few Arthur episodes I remember.
When people take cartoons too seriously 🤦♂️. I mean, Scientology IS a scam afterall.
The “Trapped in the Closet” episode of South Park is one of my all time favorites because it’s so culturally relevant.
ACTUALLY, Issac Hayes didn't leave South Park because of the Scientology Episode, he actually left due to his health, and the Church of Scientology used the timing, his practice, and the show as an excuse to 'advocate' for Issac. He suffered a major heart attack and couldn't voice act any longer, and was convinced by his son to depart from the show because of his newly acquitted limitations. Issac has even stated that he and the creators of South Park are still very close friends to this day, and he always respects them! :D
Ren & Stimpy was pure insanity. So many cartoons have their roots in its lunacy.

@@chocolatethunda0177 Thats awesome!!
the narrirator didn''t sound happy to do this episode
@BESTYofficial: the what??
@@tylerkeller8869 The narrator
Huey: The typical Winston Jerome movie involves a beautiful, intelligent, professional black woman trapped in a troubled marriage with the dark skinned bald dude from Law and Order.
Speaking of Bleep from Arthur, the episode Sailor Mouth from SpongeBob taught us the same thing, don’t ever say hurtful words especially not adults who have jobs, if you say a curse word at work, you’re boss will fired you.
'Rude Removal' DID air on TV...Here in Canada anyway...I saw it and it was hilarious.
Trapped in the closet was one of the funniest South Park episodes
THE funniest to me
@@CrossoverFan4life ok
Yup

I think you guys should finally do Top 10 Worse Things To Happen To Kyle Broflovski. Y’all have been posting more South Park content than usual lately and after everything Kyle has endured, he deserves an episode dedicated to him.
You guys should’ve put Sundae Muddy Sundae from Total Drama All-Stars. That episode was controversial.
Elaborate
i don’t think Sundae Muddy Sundae is controversial(I know that The TD Fandom Felt Bad for Courtney)
it must be part of a Top 20 list of Worst Cartoon Episodes
That's when the whole community gave up on the show all together.
that is until The Ridonculous Race
@@gerardgarcia8501 that's when people really quit the show!
Here are some honorable mentions:
- The Mask (Courage the Cowardly Dog): Depiction of racism, sexism, domestic abuse, and homosexuality.
- Leap Frogs (Rocko's Modern Life): Mrs. Bighead tried to make an affair with Rocko !
- Hot Spells (Darkwing Duck): Gosalyn made a deal with the devil !
- The Mask of Matches Malone ! (Batman: The Brave and the Bold): The sexual innuendo song by the Birds of Prey.
- No Such Luck (The Loud House): The realistic depiction of child abuse.
- Equal Fights (The Powerpuff Girls): It feels more like feminazi propaganda rather than teaching us about the real meaning of feminism.
Equal Fights one is your personal, albeit wrong opinion.
What about “The Hero” from The Amazing World of Gumball?
Did the writers watched The Equal Fights episode from PPG and made Nicole and Anais act like Femme Fatale? Nicole and Anais are about to become feminist Icons in cartoon network, and the writers fucked them up with that scene and made them Misandrists
No Such Luck Should’ve been on that list
Fans are so pissed off about that episode, they made endless memes and fanfics anout that episode
#8 was just pure comedy gold. Bugs Bunny will slap your shit no matter who you are.
Bart, where'd you get that shirt? Came out of the closet
😂
Every time Watchmojo talks about Isaac Hayes, they say he left because of scientology. NO he didn't. He had a stroke and had to leave
And passed away.
Damn i been watchin watchmojo fo like 12 years now
Appreciate it!
Same!
Love it!!!!!!
14:30 As a Brazilian, that’s exactly how it is here.
No joke now, idk why people got offended, because everyone I know thought the episode was hilarious
Maybe because they forgot soccer
Just kidding. You probably live in a poor neighborhood
I love SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, FAMILY GUY, THE SIMPSONS, and SOUTH PARK!
Lol I just watched the Tiny Toons Adventures Episode "One Beer" on my feed of Boomerang. LMAO cause I don't live in the USA. Even the Dexter's Laboratory one on Cartoon Network.
With the exception of the Arthur entry, all of the entries on this list were already discussed in _two_ previous countdowns on the subject (Phoebe even narrates Rebecca’s original commentaries word-for-word).
You know some of these cartoons when explained sound real creapy. But when you watch them they still make you laugh!😃
Perhaps it's because I was a clueless kid, but the Tale Spin episode was just entertainment to me. We hadn't even learned about WWII yet. It didn't indoctrinate me with racism and stereotypes regarding Asian Americans. But I also live in a region with a higher than average AAPI population percentage.
Spongebob,your fired is one of my favorite Spongebob episodes
What about the episode "Deadly Force" from "Gargoyles"? While most people consider it to be a very good message for gun safety, it was still controversial enough to get banned from syndication airings on Toon Disney for a while.
Top 10 Worst Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Episodes
Top 10 Worst South Park Episodes
The Entire Season 20 must be on The List of Top 10 Worst South Park Episodes
The fact that SpongeBob has so many controversial episodes is mindbuggling and most of the controversial episodes are either from the show’s darkest and golden periods and they all have something in common, I was not offended by any of them other than the season 7 episodes. Sailor Mouth and Mid Life Crusadian are forever legendary. Paul Tibbit definitely killed the series’s quality for years until it improved in 2015 when Steven came back before his death.
I like how HBO max doesn't have those south park episodes. It's a paid streaming app, with 200 and 201 that could be one of the few ways to watch them. But I guess it's my argument for a lot of stuff that if you don't like what you're watching, change the channel.
I'm still waiting to see an unedited episode of The Little Rascals
I’m going to say it, I’m going to say it,
*South park is way too overrated* I said it, and I’m sticking by it, I just don’t like South Park.
Edit: I just watched up to season 13, and I love the show now
I Did Not Knew That Pokemon Had An Controversial Episode In Its Early Seasons...
And Even So, In This Day Nintendo Have Made Some Controversy On Their Franchise's. (HELLO FIRE EMBLEM FATES)
It wasn’t really because of content but because it caused seizures from the flashing lights.
And They Forgot To Put On An Seizure Warning?
I watched Bleep when it aired and what’s even more shocking is that Arthur isn’t the only animated kids show to focus on the negative consequences of swearing. There’s also the SpongeBob episode Sailor Mouth which is basically the same thing as Bleep!
Only sailor mouth has dolphin noises for bleeps
Spongebob creators did it better, because they had fun cartoon sound effects when the bad words were being said, so it wasn't as easy to decipher as Bleep was
So if the SpongeBob episode of him getting fired was that troublesome then why the hell is it still aired?
That Arthur episode is funny as BEEP!
Agreed
200 is the one South Park episode that is so bad that it made me decide to NEVER watch South Park! Mostly because of its controversial undertones, but ALSO because they decided to mock Tim Burton!
Clicked for South Park to see Stan going against Scientology. Also called number 1
I knew Mr. Krabs was cheat, but this episode made me competently despise him.
🙄 The best episode of Dexter's lab! Controversy is needed in kids shows. It's unrealistic for them to think everyone is always good and happy all the time
I’m so glad I’ve got South Park episode 200 and 201 on Blu-ray! I don’t get why everyone was so pestered by it. It makes a great case of freedom of speech. Either it’s all ok or none of it ok.
THE FIRST amendment IS UNQIUCK TO THE U.S.
showing picture of the prophet is a crime in Islam
As a muslim, we ourselves are prohibited to even draw the phophet. It is our believed. I don't know how the episode go by. But it is not the issue of freedom of speech. It is our believe And our religion believes. Atleast there should a responsibility as a person to respect other religions believe.
About you're fired. The squid is fired for a dime while the only "employee" is fired for a nickel. A dollar or more I understand. But come on.
We wouldn’t want Spongebob sending a message to the youth and underprivileged that they should get a fucking job, now would we?
I really hate "Spongebob, You're Fired!" I am so interested that this episode is controversial.
I remember watching the cussing Arthur episode with my mum and we were both taken back. It was more cringe than anything seeing kids swearing at each other
Glad Mighty Mouse got a mention..... I use to love that cartoon when I was a kid... I was sad that they stopped airing.... Now i see why they stopped ☹️
A lot of parents would seriously rather attempt censorship of serious issues then to actually have that talk with they’re kids
Ren and stimpy had a lot of weird episodes honestly so it's not surprising it had at least one controversial episode
I love talespin
As a Brazilian, I must state that Simpson's episode about Brazil was boring but not offensive.
As far as the Boondocks Dr King episode: if Al Sharpton has a problem with it, PLAY IT ON REPEAT.
There are recently 2 Spongebob episodes that have been banned. One is from the golden age of the show. A season 3 episode called “Mid-Life Crustacean” shows Mr. Krabs feeling down in the dumps because he’s thought of as old by not only his daughter Pearl but the other citizens of Bikini Bottom. At the Krusty Krab he overhears Soongebob and Patrick taking about their big night on the town. He asks if he can be included and they agree. What ensues is one of the lamest nights known to man. Mr. Krabs calls them out for not being cool and Patrick livens up the evening by saying they were planning on participating in a panty raid. This significantly cheers Mr. Krabs up and he’s feeling like his old self again until he realizes the panty raid is taking place at his mother’s house. She catches him and grounds him for the rest of the night. I personally have always loved this episode but once the show was added to Paramount+ it was decided that this episode should not be included because of the panty raid scene. Also Nickelodeon has decided to never air this episode again on cable. The scene is pretty innocuous even by today’s standards (episode aired originally just about 20 years ago) so I was surprised its been banned.
The other episode that has been banned and has actually never seen the light of day is a more recent episode slated to come out some time last year called “Kwarantined Krabs.” I don’t know much about the episode other than that a virus spreads around the Krusty Krab and everyone associated has to be quarantined until it passes. This episode was banned for obvious reasons due to the COVID pandemic and for people potentially thinking this episode would make light of a serious situation. However, the show’s production team said they had the idea for this episode well before the pandemic hit and it was just a case of poor timing with its release. Who knows if this episode will ever air in any form.
There was also one additional episode of Family Guy to mention. It’s the infamous episode where Lois gets an abortion. I believe in this episode Lois becomes a surrogate for friends who can’t have a baby on their own. Later down the road the wife does become pregnant and Lois’ services are no longer needed. She then has the agonizing decision of whether to continue the pregnancy or have an abortion. I remember this episode was supposed to air for either the 7th or 8th season in like 2009. There was a lot of controversy surrounding this episode particularly because it would have aired on Fox and we all know their stance on abortion. As far as I know, unlike with “When You Wish Upon a Weinstein” which ultimately aired years later on Adult Swim, this other episode has never aired on tv in any form. I do believe it was included on the DVD box set from the season it was slated for. At the time it was the only way to see this episode. I’m sure of you look hard enough you can find it online somewhere these days.
Seriously WatchMojo, how many times are you going to do the same Top 10/20 countdowns?! You must be desperate having ran out of ideas. It would be funny if it wasn't so pitiful.
How about the Archer episode "Double Deuce" where he throws a baby? Or maybe not. I dunno. I just really love Archer.
Tablespin only lasted one season?! Then, why do I remember it so well?
Okay, but "Bleep" is awesome
Ren and Stimpy was controversial to start with so I am impressed
