LOST MEDIA: The Banned Episode of Hey Arnold!

I recently fell down a deep rabbit hole while doing research for an upcoming video. What started as research hoping for some leads on some banned episodes that went under my radar, turned into a wild goose chase for a piece of lost media that may not even exist to begin with. I'm a sucker for a good deep dive for some lore behind a piece of lost media, which is why today we look into the deep dark trenches of the internet in hopes of uncovering the lost banned episode of Hey Arnold titled The Big Bleeper. Sit down and buckle up as we descend into the deep rabbit hole of conspiracy. Also, special thanks to Turner Broadcasting for blocking the last video I tried to upload and gifting me with a copyright strike regardless of fair use law. You Suck eggs Turner Broadcasting...

Tbh I think people a reminiscing more so on the fact that Arnold himself was a pretty wholesome dude, and I guess that's just trickling on to the rest of the show. But I can definitely remember some not so wholesome episodes. Like that picture man clipped they showed, Arnold just to watch a man who clearly had mental issues eat himself off a roof. There's also an episode when a guy, I think his name was ernie, it's basically stalking a woman and are noticed too young and naive to realize that's wrong. I can't remember his name, but there's that one tenant that had to give up his daughter so she could be safe. And I think at one point one of the kids had to realize that their parents have become broke, and she was genuinely concerned about things like being homeless. Yea, it had wholesome moments, but the thing about the show is that it wasn't trying to be so wholesome that it didn't deter away from heavier topics.

[@sonicmario64]

I remember when "Rugrats" also had an episode that involved swearing ("The Word Of The Day"), in which Angelica hears her favorite TV star insulting the kids who watch her show by saying a vulgar word about them, and Angelica thinks that the word is a special phrase, so she ends up saying it in front of her parents.

[@RoganBits]

It's a bot article written using tools like 'Markov Chains'. Markov Chain is a stochastic process describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. Basically they're choosing what to write next based on what was written in the previous portion that it just wrote. That's why it's nonsense but appears to almost be written by a person. It's using a database that links that data as connected; and it's choosing to use that specific connected data. Ex: Hey Arnold = cartoon, now they can link any data that's labeled 'cartoon' in their database (very oversimplified explanation).

[@mightyfilm]

If there was an episode like this that caused that much controversy, it would have been blown out of proportion by some news outlet. It would have been a well known staple in the Hey Arnold fandom, as most lost/incomplete/rumored episodes regularly become legend in fandoms. And even then, it follows the same structure as most "don't swear, Kids" cartoons, especially that Arthur episode. I can imagine, at best, it was a pitched story that was rejected before any pre-production got underway. Plus, I don't buy that even the more troubled kids in that show would be that juvenile. But the thing that really cracks me up? Hey Arnold got away with saying "Crap" at least twice, so they did basically say and get away with the most mild of swearing, so even then I can't buy that this thing went into production at all.

[@trinitym4404]

I forget which episode it was but Arnold’s grandpa was like “what the damn hell happened to you?” This was pretty recent and I rewinded it to be sure I wasn’t just hearing things.

The more interesting one that was on that list that did get fully animated-in my opinion- is the Tiny Toons one that actually went over underage drinking, the risk of drinking and driving and peer pressure. That one had very dark moments but considering it was meant to deter and drinking and driving is deadly, it was adequately appropriate.

[@Mabus16]

I think you're misinterpreting it. That episode was a parody of the sorts of "very special episodes" that were common on kids shows and sitcoms in that era. They weren't seriously discussing underage drinking or peer pressure, they were making fun of the hyperbolic tone of those sorts of stories by showing drinking a single beer having increasingly over the top consequences.

No offence, but this episode seems fake as hell. First, why would the people who made this show even consider making this episode at all. I haven't really watched the show, but from what I've seen, this seems very out of character for all the characters. Second, an episode like this would never pass Nick's censors. Yes many other kid shows had episodes that had a swearing plot, but those either used more tame words like stupid (the Caillou episode, Caillou's Crossword), made up words (the episode, The Big Blooper from the 2003 Berenstain Bears cartoon used the word "furball"), or keep the word abit ambiguous and use bleeping (the Arthur episode, Bleep, and the SpongeBob episode Sailor Mouth). If Nick saw that the team were making an episode like this, they'll most defiantly stop production on this episode all together. And third, this just screams "edgy creepypasta". It has all the cliches, lost episode, characters doing stuff you'll never expect them to do, only aired once., ect.

this is my new favorite channel bro, all the way from Venezuela, in South America, is crazy how even when I grow up with the Latino Spanish version, we have the same feelings about all these 90s cartoons, much love bro keep doing this channel, i will pay you monthly for your content and everything, amazing work

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

I don't believe for one second that this episode ever existed. Let's break it down Agatha Christie style: 1) They would have had to have written a script, and then get it approved by the network before even starting production. 2) They would have had to have gotten the voice actors, most of them children, into the studio for a voice over session. 3) They would have actually had to have animated this episode, warts and all. There's no way a single one of those would have gotten past the network. Even if this was some bizarre off the record episode that the producers payed for with their own money, somebody would have found about at it, and there would be lawsuits everywhere.

[@g1rldraco7]

I was going to say this sounds like a fanfiction of Hey Arnold. Its a lie like the cake......

[@boodlefightbunny]

As a diehard HA! fan, I'm calling bull on this. The reason you could get away with a swearing episode where the characters actually swear is because the characters are generally voiced acted by adults. Nickelodeon would have a field day if they found out kids were cussing up a storm, even if it would be eventually bleeped out. Also, heard a lot of Craig Bartlett interviews and never once heard him mention a banned episode.

[@Mervle]

This sounds like the most savage episode of a children's show if this were actually completed and aired

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

This "episode" sounds like the script for a KZbin Poop.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

Well that’s looking really fake. With the main source for this literally being a bunch of random articles hastily bunched together for some reason and the supposed premiere date of that episode being that Day of Play thing. And that wiki page definitely looks like it was either made by a fanfic writer or a troll.

[@DuskTillShawn]

I agree lol, not sure if you watched to the end, but I came to the conclusion that the episode was fake in this video.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

@@DuskTillShawn Yeah, I watched till the end. Just wanted to share my thoughts on that situation.

[@FurtherAM]

That wiki page is gone.. I took care of that. No more wiki page about a banned episode.. it was that easy to delete.. anyone could delete it or write whatever they wanted

[@twist58]

And I used to think the episode "Arnold Betrays Iggy" was the banned one, but that turned out to be taken out of circulation for just being too harsh and mean spirited. I'm now curious of this real banned episode.

[@notsyzagts7967]

This isn't real; it was debunked during the video itself. Pure internet fanfiction.

[@lalozz08]

this is amazing dude, keep doing amazing content!

[@thelastroseofsummer2817]

I mean to be fair there was an episode where Harold held a kitten hostage which prompted a literal hostage situation response from emergency responders. If that’s not far fetched I’m not sure what is.

[@Fartsanchez]

I dunno, I've been a Hey Arnold superfan for most of my life, and I haven't even HEARD of this banned episode.

[@AA-eg3nf]

Finally somebody uses kumquat as an insult.

[@keikapanen5555]

Maybe it's just me then, but when I saw the title of this ep today (I just found this channel today) I said, "Oh they banned the episode where they sweared?" I can't say I can remember the whole premise of it, but I really want to say that I saw at least part of the episode. With the mention of the part at the end with Arnold swearing, I was like "yes!!!" I want to say that it was the class sitting in the classroom, not in a line. That being said, I know people remember things that they hear about, but I dont know. I never really seek this stuff out, and just knowing the ep when I saw the title.

[@Lupo32]

This is true for dexter's laboratory Episode called rude removal.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Somehow, I can imagine Bob swearing up a storm if something doesn't go his way. He's competitive and bombastic enough.

[@natalielucana9773]

My brother do have DVD box set of hey Arnold so I might need look at the list. I don't remember episode, I do remember two different versions about Arnold's parents episode, parents day episode and discovered the journal.

[@beautifullyx3broken408]

Same thing happened with Lloyd In Space and the episode “picture perfect” that never aired. Information about it surfaced online, it was cited on wiki by multiple sources and somebody supposedly even had a script but nobody’s ever seen it and there’s no proof of it existing anywhere else…

[@16maze]

Ha ha ha ah that ending was wild 😂😂😂😂

[@AllOfTheAbove777]

SpongeBob had bad language in his episode Nickelodeon give it a pass, but if Hey Arnold does it now we're not allowing it. I'm not saying it's episodes true or not but if it is that it's a lot of favoritism Nickelodeon has and it shouldn't even put both the episodes on the air at all

[@babygodzillla]

just found your channel & loooove lost media stuff, keep it up!! this is great

[@DuskTillShawn]

I'm glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@Heattokun]

okay so it’s kinda funny that, that weird bot-written article mentions Dexters Lab’s rude removal, cause I was gonna say that while I don’t think this episode of Hey Arnold is real... Dexter’s Lab’s rude removal existed. It could entirely be possible the episode, maybe, wasn’t made as a broadcast episode but instead one that recycles a ton of footage and was made as sort of a joke thing to show at a company party or something. The thing that makes me think that is I vaguely remember them lining up for the nurse’s office for an episode but I couldn’t tell you which, and the hijacking of the radio stations as mentioned in the comet episode. There was also the recent-ish drama of the funimation voice actors for Dragonball swearing up a storm while they warmed up, so.... If this does exist, I’m guessing it was the editing team and the voice actors having fun which was shown at a film festival in 2003 similar to the Rude removal episode being shown at ComicCon before being put online. I don’t think it exists as a broadcast episode - but maybe just a messing around thing? Sure. Or I could be misremembering everything. Also I think Arnold’s line at the end of the episode was supposed to be “what the f**k have I gotten myself into?”

[@keenbaker-dias1137]

I used to watch this stoned I thought it was pretty good like different levels of life going off at the same time .

[@gopet400]

And I thought the halibut joke and Harold saying “crappy food” was pushing it.

[@moverton500]

Something you could try is, try and track down an old TV guide from the week the episode supposedly aired. If it did actually air once, it would be notated in the guide.

[@adampellett4917]

The 1990s gone darker from the old entertainment like Hey Arnold with Helga’s therapist episode how she became Helga. And my god it was darker. Sometimes banned episodes from Rocko’s Modern Life, that, Dexter’s Lab even Tiny Toons with Beer. Man, the 1990s made our childhoods gone darker.

[@inthearmsofvolleyball]

If anybody thinks this episode is real... Please actually take a look at the show in further detail and honestly tell me if you believe the characters would ever act like this. If you still do, watch some more episodes and get back to me.

[@ZENnightcore]

Thought it sounded bs thanks somome else thick it it two

[@treezytrey88]

i remember this episode gerald with the list is wild to see i remember mocking this at school with the homies crazy core memory unlocked subscription well deserved

[@Alan-oj3ps]

The big bleeper is a reference to the big bopper.

[@Otaku155]

Funny how this got pulled despite that there were other episodes where Helga sees Arnold naked and where she wakes up naked in Arnold's shower...

[@metalheadrailfan]

Been a big fan of this show for years, but you learn something new every day. The basis of this "episode" almost sounds like a parody you'd find on here.

[@LikaLaruku]

A "lost" episode of Angry Beavers with the exact same swearing premise was revealed to be a hoax, believed to have been concocted around the time South Park made an episode with uncensored swearing. I'd say this was in the same field.

[@JSHester16]

I own the whole series on DVD. But I am 💯 sure I've seen this episode live on TV. Like I remember Harold infront of a TV when he heard the curse words 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ this is up there with Sinbad's movie Shazam. Lastly I'm glad Craig went hard in The Jungle Movie. I still can't believe they got a PG rating for the tv movie knowing damn well it should have been PG-13 👏🏾🤣👏🏾🤣👏🏾

[@kalelc1996]

I personally think this was just a fanfiction

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

This episode definitely sounds fake as all hell. Even assuming that this was supposedly censored all the way through (ala Spongebob’s Sailor Mouth), most of this sounds like a cross between a cheap knock-off of Dexter’s Rude Removal and some super edgy bullshit that a kid would make up.

[@Hromovlad1]

Fan wikies are not always trustworthy, and gaming journalists are untrustworthy in general. The last article sounds like it was written by a computer algorithm after it was fed a number of articles about banned episodes

[@alexiskuwata]

I'm not a big hey Arnold fan but I think it's fake.
