I love the parents. Stu is one of the best characters

Eh, I wouldn't call Muscle Dad the worst dad. This was a good video.

Shoobies, lol my fave episode imo

how did you know I needed to wipe my tears in the middle? Aw - you knew lol. If that wasn't a tear-jerker, what is? That probably was one of the few I had. Avatar definitely went where no other show had gone before.

the first 2 ones against animals is all the more reason people push for veganism, and it just extends past that in the last 2 to people as well! Violence is what we thought of is atrocicious in the 90s - that if we can handle everything diplomatically - life could be better.

this is definitely the most sober reality of videos on youtube. Thanks!

Putting the animated characters against real life backdrops was so cute!

As a millennial who watched Daria when it first aired it fills me with joy that people still relate to the show , I felt the same way when my son got right into the OG Degrassi Jr high series

When entertainment shows focused on imitating real life for their viewers. Now they try to influence lifestyle.

As an adult, I now realize that the name Lipschitz is a dirty joke. I will say that bad advice is one of my pet peeves. In particular, I get a lot in the area of dating. Either way, we all know how people give advice that doesn't work.

Teen Titans Go was way worse

What’s the name of the song that was playing?

I don't understand what makes you say Doug was set in the 1960's? I've never seen any reference to this before, and can't even find anything to verify it now. I've always thought of the show as contemporary to the time it came out (early 1990's), while trying to remain timeless by not mentioning anything too topical or tied to any particular time. I was about 12 when the show first started airing in the early 90's. The show featured computers, video games, etc. None of which existed in the 1960's. Maybe you mean it's setting was based on how Lakeside was in the 1960's?

Well for starters, the worst father in regular show is rigby's but that's another topic. Muscle Dad though he only lied about his profession and given how kids are maybe was for the best. Though I think he was a trucker at one point and had to downgrade at some point, because of his character. Muscle Bro must also knew the whole truth since he became a trucker and must have learned about his dad. But as the story implies, they never had a falling out.

I remember finding this song on youtube when I was like 13 and relating it to the boy I liked at the time, my first “real crush” I never would’ve thought I’d find it again in a video essay about daria which I watched as a young teen as well because I was told by so many people I remind them of her. lol

as someone that watched this as a kid from orange county, i had no idea this show was about us…wow

victoria from eerie summer here! loved the essay, I used to binge watch Daria non stop in 2014-2015 and this is how the song came about <3 some people have asked if I still make music - I do, my new project is called april june. thank you for making this!

Whats the source that Doug is supposed to be set in the 1960s? The show has never read anything but contemporary to the 1990s to me - in particular showing Doug obsessed with his Super Pretendo (obviously a play on the SNES). Would love a citation on this.

I thought you were going to say “betrayal yeah stab in the back!”

I remember the Meatman episode of Camp Laszlo. And the Aliens who stole Cheese from Camp Kidney. This Show had a Specific Spongebob feel to the Series and i Loved it as a Kid. This Show deserves more Love.

awesome vid! subbed and liked!

Literally motivated me to skate. My first board ever was a rocket power board from Walmart 😂

Thanks for making this video. As a huge Doug fan and Richmond resident it's cool to see all the local places that inspired the show. But I always believed Honker Burger was based off of Roys Big Burger which is located in Lakeside and has a drive up feel like Honker.

Great song and great analysis ❤

Wow this video is amazing! You can tell so much passion went into it. Great job!

The adventures the babies had always reminded me of playing pretend. That shit was rhe best game ever.

Another like for your video - which I found after searching for bears. Yesterday, 14 Aug 2024, I was experimenting with a motorcycle ride along the back roads of Central Florida. I keep an eye out for wildlife on the road, but low and behold, a sizeable bear ran across the road in front of me... broad daylight, unexpected. The great thing was that I got to see the bear, noticed it out of the corner of my eye, and could slow down enough to not endanger the bear, and the road crossing was successful. I liked your discussions about the beginnings of Yogi Bear... and I found it interesting that my looking for something about bears brought your video my way... funny how that happens!

Coming back to this a year later. Damn. Still hits.

I admit I watched Daria Late, I was in college. Sometime I wish I watched it back in highschool, it might have help on some situations lol Trent was a great character. I remember that he was aware of Daria crush, but he never did nothing to Daria and that was great! He was on a different life level of Daria, even if he still thought as a teen - He was aware, was respectful of it and he didn't make fun of Daria for having a crush or anything, he's been very chill and understable seeing her as a friend, hell, if not like a second young sister like Jane. His relationship with Daria was strictly friendship and could have not work more than that. Also, off-topic, Trent might have around others girls crushing on him (I'm not very aware of the idea of grunge bands in the '90). He was in a band and doing gig, Mystic spiral fans might be late teen -18 and 19- to early '20 and might been some early teen into alternative music. The thing is: he was aware of teens crush, he literally had two olders sisters and Jane. He's anti-conformist, not a creep lol On the Daria side I admit that the crush things was very well done, it was not the stereotypical "blubby pinkish rose and flowers" situation or stalking type of situation too as it was more grounded. Daria had a crush, she had anxiety and still acted as "herself", no weird 360 character change or weird ass second embarassment situations: the situation was just embarassing for Daria herself. There was the weird feeling of crushing but deepdown knowing that things were not going to work, but still there was a crush and the doubt etc. And the thing evolved, Daria got out of the crush as she grow up, and being generally herself, that is something I love about this show.

I really liked this analysis and genuinely your Hey Arnold content! I hope you make more in the future.

It's nice to think about all the positive messages in cartoons, at least, older cartoons. On a sidenote, I don't think I could ever feel comfortable watching a swimsuit competition with children; the implication just seems too big and gross.

Oh man this takes me back, and it's crazy to think that this show is now a quarter of a century old! I never did extreme sports and never got super into Rocket Power, but I remember watching it fairly regularly after school at some point. It was fun, and makes me wish for those days to come back.

So glad somebody else calls out stuff like that. For all the tears in the world, the ghost truckers were right but we're supposed to side with Muscle Man because he's sad. Nope.

You have to much faith in humanity, of course they'd have a swimsuit segment. They got people to sign up for the blatant paedo bs in the first place. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say.

That's so sweet of him to actually pay attention and analyze the feelings of his past partner. He must have really cared for her.

I think what Trent said in the end had a double meaning. He interract differently with her after that.

I always thought Betty was lesbo 🥵😂 that’s so cool! And even as an adult I’ll cry when Chaz met Kierra 🥹🥹🥹 (Rugrats in Paris) such a good scene

Chuckie's mom dying is a malicious lie Chaz has concocted because he doesn't want to admit his wife left them because she didn't want either of them because Chaz is a wimp, Chuckie's mom actually appears in one of the first few episodes,you see her sitting at the picnic table with Chaz in the episode with the bbq in the back yard when the babies go into the neighbor's yard to get Tommy's ball back

As a kid, I always thought Angelina's mom was hot 😅

8:45 I have a strange feeling that Angelica’s origin is simply that one night after Charlotte became the CEO of her company she and Drew shared a deep night of passion to celebrate, but drew forgot to put a raincoat on if you know what I mean.

I loved camp lazlo so much. I wish it got more recognition

Dont forget lucy is a great chef as well

Do you know who else is the worst dad on regular show

I was going to start Daria for the Trent lore, but after this I don’t know if I can handle it paired with my current relationship status. Alexa, play “Bad Habit” by Steve Lacy please…. 😂

Wow! This was a great synopsis of the show i loved as a kid. Well done!
