My apology to Vanessa Doofenshmirtz kzbin.infoxnCPiJd6scw I have a problem with V names apparently??? kzbin.infoBXOJP5NHmt0

[@BinglesP]

Since B is a voiced V does that mean I’m a Bictoria, Balerie, or Banessa

Could you send me a link to this tier list?

[@Buttercreamedream]

Bro you had me tripping over Vanessa’s name because that didn’t fit at all. Veronica is NOT a goth girl name

[@asexualartistry]

I literally came down here to say sumn, thank you for acknowledging this

Pinocchio actually kills Jiminy Cricket in the original story. He throws a mallet at the poor guy because he doesn’t want to listen to him

weirdmageddon definitely scarred 10 year olds on the disney channel

[@PoetsFallenLand]

I thought I was a normal episode tbh

[@squiddyanimations6617]

Even thought that clip isn't the best example i really like how 6teen doesn't dance around people being gay. Like theres this one episode where one of the main characters is asking a girl out and shes kind of stuttering and trying to get it out, and finally the crush says "if you're asking, then yes im gay, but i already have a date". You dont see that too often in old kids shows

[@SiRenfield]

Oddly enough despite being from the US which censored the show a lot in the 2000’s I do recall Nicktoons airing the “Girl Crush” episode albeit I didn’t finish it at the time so I’m not sure how much they censored that one

[@floridasavannah]

The last episode of Over The Garden Wall (no spoilers) just messed me up. It was so well done and just made the whole series just a perfect little show. It honestly made me sad because it meant there was no more.

[@rosykindbunny1313]

Spoilers: It's just so sad seeing a once optimistic and happy little boy completely give up. And the music playing in the background doesn't help lol. Also the part with the Woodsman realizing the truth... my heart broke!

[@Solinaru]

Over the Garden Wall is one of those rare shows that will forever stand the rest of time since each episode goes hard and knows what it's concluding to.

[@Duothimir]

@@rosykindbunny1313 O POTATUS ET MOLASSUS

[@alexisb3829]

It’s a show that I would consider perfect and timeless forever

[@bashfulwolfo6499]

So I got into the show very late because every time it was on when it was airing was when I was doing homework as a kid, so I never got to watch it. I actually decided to sit down and watch it a year or so back and my mom actually wanted to watch it with me, and she’s not a big fan of cartoons so it surprised me. And we both loved it. It was actually such a good bonding experience for the both of us because it let us talk about my dad’s death and the possibilities of an afterlife. What’s even weirder is that our front door camera kept going off despite nothing being outside, and so my mom thought maybe it was my dad’s spirit trying to get back in, not knowing that he’s gone. The fact that a cartoon got me and my mom discussing death is insane and amazing. Major recommendation for anyone and everyone out there.

[@wolfstar1253]

VERY IMPORTANT: Athena, you NEED to know that Scary Godmother has a sequel. It’s called Scary Godmother 2: Revenge of Jimmy. That is all.

[@scarykettle2087]

Jimmy is the bane of my existence

[@irenic_raccoon]

I REMEMBER THAT. Jimmy's voice in that pissed me off HE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE A CHILD HE'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE AN ADULT THAT'S HIS CHARM.. And the animation and the logic just... AGHHH it sucks it doesn't exist

[@scarykettle2087]

@@irenic_raccoon HE'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT????

[@irenic_raccoon]

@@scarykettle2087 IDK IT WAS GOOFY and not... aggravating (no hate to that child voice actor LMAO). The first movie just had more charm in general while the second movie felt like a cash grab. Ig I just have a vendetta against it like that one 3d animated Peter Cottontail movie I rented on Easter once.

[@BugsyFoga]

Scary godmother was definitely a classic special that I’d watch each year on Cartoon Network.

[@stephenrainey9458]

Her makeup for every video is on another level. 💄 👄

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

SpongeBob's been dominating at the KCAs for Best Cartoon and all...but don't let this distract you from the fact that the ONLY animated show that managed to defeat SpongeBob for the award was Avatar the Last Airbender in 2008 (rightfully so; and the only time the show was nominated). Mentioning this will give SpongeBob flashbacks

[@JamboreeBlackberry]

Here’s a weird scene from a kids movie, there was the adult joke in Robots where it was the beginning of the movie where the build the baby and then they forgot to put on its third leg so they hammer it on

[@msjkramey]

Didn't they also say something like "making the baby is the fun part"?

[@JamboreeBlackberry]

I see what you’re saying about Gingy, but to be fair, his girlfriend wasn’t just clingy, she was also pretty possessive and smothering. Within 7 minutes of them being together she put her picture over every photo of someone else in his house

The pure concentration during the backyardigans dance was incredible

[@Shades-N-Braids]

1. I also thought Brenda and Ashley were young adults when they were *literal children* 2. If you watch continue to watch Big City Greens, (which please, you must), Gloria will continue to be one of your favorites and I predict that Tilly and Nancy will also be on your favorites list 3. Yes, I laugh at all of your jokes except for the ones I might not be cultured in (yet)

[@TheGladInGladiator]

Best Bob’s Burgers Halloween episode is still the Hauntening from season 6. “It’s something bad. It’s gonna kill us in this bathroom and it’s gonna…it’s gonna be easy to clean up because of the tile floor”

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

My favorite Halloween special: The Puppetmaster from Avatar the Last Airbender (yes, it feels like a Halloween special because it is; it was released on October 25, 2007 in the UK and November 9 in the US). The Puppetmaster proved it doesn't exactly need to be Halloween-themed for it to be a good Halloween special. And in the episode, we learn about someone who controls the bodies of Fire Nation villagers like nothing and forces them to go to a mountain who turned to be a waterbender who knows bloodbending named Hama. She teaches advanced Southern waterbending to Katara as they are the only waterbenders from the Southern Water Tribe left. But once Katara connected the dots, she fought Hama. Not wanting to see Aang and Sokka hurt each other because of Hama controlling them, she bloodbended Hama. But felt bad immediately. The only other time we see Katara bloodbending is in The Southern Raiders when she did it to a Southern Raider captain who she thought was the one who killed her mother until she realized that specific captain wasn't the one who did it.

[@synderthmc]

I think the skeleton working in the closet is supposed to be a joke on "Having skeletons in your closet"

[@negligible_reality]

yeah, but "having skeletons in the closet" is where we get the phrase "being in the closet" so the joke still works both ways. not to mention that the skeleton is very much a queer coded character lol. 🏳‍🌈💀

[@snowyyzoe]

Unpopular opinion but I love the scare-off episodes because it's like you get 3-5 halloween episodes in one lmaoo 😭

[@djjules6418]

One of my favorite Nick Halloween specials is Big Time Halloween from Big Time Rush. Its very dumb and very cheesy, but it just gets me in a spooky mood and I watch it every Halloween.

[@Duck1sh]

The lack of Phineas and Ferb knowledge you have is making me DEMAND an in depth Phineas and Ferb review because its genuinely the best piece of childrens media to ever grace this plain of existence

[@ThatOneCreator]

ah yes Veronica my favorite Phineas and Ferb character

[@mygrandmasfavoriteflower]

I was very scared going into this video about seeing puking in Halloween specials. I'm really happy that you didn't show it and that you also think it's disgusting. I am a huge emetophobe to the point where I can barely step foot outside of my door, so it's comforting to know I probably won't see that from your channel when other ones have no problem showing it

[@marismcgarveyhenderson6328]

Totally agree the Toy Story special is Amazing! And Toy Story 4 is ……a movie that shouldn’t have happened.

[@Antisocial_Cryptid13]

9:10 Heinz Doofenshmirtz is more than a star. He is a SUPER~STAR~! (anyone else remember that episode?) And I swear the end of Night of the Living Pharmacist was inspired by Attack on Titan (the one where it zooms out and shows the monsters outside surrounding the only safe place. Don't know how else to describe it)

[@that-void-Ajax]

Halloweentown has been my favorite movie for YEARS! love watching it especially when its not halloween! The second ine (of four) is my absolute favorite and i can quote like the first one and half of the second...

[@AlecComes]

I physically convulsed when you misnamed Vanessa Doofenshmirtz as Veronica, but if you have a problem with V names like you say, I'll give it a pass

[@Theagames10]

I kinda want someone to make a Big City Greens video, hopefully in the future you get to watch the show and maybe make a video about it.

[@milkmilk8721]

So underrated!!

You guys doing the backyardigans dance killed me. How long do you guys practice? 😂

[@m.nic.5080]

I used to be absolutely terrified of the Shrek Halloween special! I was emetophobic as a kid so the puke scenes got me and I straight up had nightmares of Pinocchio killing Jiminy Cricketl

[@katshuskyalt]

I still love the "HOLY FUCK IT'S CHUCK" costume

[@M34T_V4P0R]

You should totally make a video about all of Skatoony along with Fetch with ruff ruffman!! I never watched Skatoony but Ruffman was a big part of my childhood I think and they’re both pretty similar with the game show and combo of live action kid actors and fun animated characters and stuff!!

[@princembat]

i cant believe you brought up phineas and ferb and didnt bring up the episode where doofenshmirtz is a werecow. granted, i dont know if its a halloween special episode but i couldve swore it was. it just seems notable that he, yknow, was a werecow. he canonically, for an episode, would turn into a cow under the full moon, and i never forgot that episode. im begging you to watch it at least once if you have not.

[@kowaihanashi6921]

Odd mention I had nightmares cause of that hallucination that Shrek had... the line always scaresss me........... "DADAAAAA"

[@xXItsJassyBbyXx]

Omg I just watched Halloweentown again it’s so good but that exact line from Marnie in the beginning made me laugh and go “wth kids are so dumb that’s not how that works” bc it’s the fact I’m pretty certain everyone’s done that as a kid and it’s just so unnecessarily silly 😂🎃 Also new subscriber here I absolutely love your content so far!! ❤

[@ItsMyKowai]

3 minutes in and you have already become my fave youtuber for saying you hate vomit scenes. I am emetophobic and even just your small mention about these scenes made me feel so seen, i don't get how people tolerate it and its especially prevalent in kids media for like no reason

I would definitely watch a review of all the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Maybe a video for next year?

One of my favorite Halloween specials was a talking tom and friends episode called “appy halloween” where the character ginger becomes over powered

For somen reason the "fist bump" during the dance was what got my laughing lol

The sheer amount of nostalgia with 90% of these, but ESPECIALLY 6teen Dude of the Living Dead. I remember loving it as a kid but damn it does not hold up lmao

I'm sure someone has commented this elsewhere, but I need you to know that Pinocchio killing the talking cricket (Disney named him Jiminy)was actually a part of the original Pinocchio story.
