The Simpsons "predicting" Donald Trump becoming president isn't a prediction, the episode was made because prior to it's development, Trump was talking about running for president. It was a relevant gag.

[@chrisw6164]

Yes. Trump briefly ran for president as a Reform Party candidate in 2000.

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Yeah he ran as an independent in 2000.

[@JamesR624]

Not to mention. He DID try to run and didn't get far in 1999. People forget 2016 was not his first go at this.

[@thelionsmane3032]

Honestly the simpsons predictions thing always pisses me off because so much of it is based off lies, made up shit, or mischaracterizing episodes. Like in what way did the simpsons "predict" the covid pandemic? they had an episode where a new disease came from asia? yeah that happens kind of often, it happened a few times in the 80s and 90s, probably why it happened on the show. People think they "predicted" ebola? A passing reference to a disease that has been documented for decades counts as them predicting a minor outbreak of it in 2016? The trump prediction stuff is especially obnoxious bc whenever people talk about it they use clips from a bit produced after trump announced his candidacy, and people just buy into it I guess

[@kavalogue]

This is how most of their "predictions" work

[@Rexdrinksredbull]

It should also be pointed out that the term "calarts style" was actually created by John K on a blog post in 2010, which is funny considering that most of the shows being called "calarts style" weren't even around until years after the post lol

[@Rexdrinksredbull]

And yes, it's *that* John K - Ren and Stimpy, "Cans Without Labels", disgusting creep John K.

[@gracekim1998]

which is PRECIESLY why I hate the phrase: It was COINED by a CREEP and most people are oblivious to this disturbing fact, especially when this 'style' doesn't exist. (mate you need to get this comment pinned!)

[@newguy90]

The "Cal Arts" style originally referred to the Disney-style, which John K hated. This is because Disney founded Cal Arts back in 1961 to train their animators. Cal Arts is still the premiere school for animation - traditional and CG - in North America. You are pretty much guaranteed a job anywhere if you graduated from there.

[@catgirlweed0420]

John K actually once praised Rebecca Sugars art style, funnily enough

[@princembat]

i also especially hate it because people use it to talk about the protagonists of the shows theyre "criticising" but then you look at every other design in those shows and theyre nothing alike. especially gumball??? who the hell is genuinely using gumball as an example, that show is famous for its mixture of mediums and styles. i hate it so much.

[@alieneko_nyo]

51:06 if I remember correctly.. Chespirito (the creator, director and actor of Chavo in the series) actually wanted to make that episode as a finale, but his daughter (who was a psychologist) told him Chavos's death would impact the audience in a very painful negative way, so it never got made.

[@ElVago64]

Yes it is. There's even more dark lore behind the series in the "El diario del chavo" (Chavo's Diary) comic where we know how he became an orphan, how did he get to the neighborhood and the fact that he saw the dark side of the streets.

[@fukyu2]

Wow he really said that? That’s honestly crazy and sad to think about. I couldn’t imagine myself seeing that happen since me and among many others would have found it traumatizing. Thank goodness his daughter was there to stop it.

[@punstartracer]

​@@fukyu2 Despite the wide spread of the claims, it's definitely a hoax. Roberto Gómez Bolaños' only daughter that discussed the show with her father was Paulina Gómez and she is not a psychologist but an actress and choreography coordinator, this was her subject of study and profession for a while. Although Bolaños has 4 other daughters and Graciela Gómez is specifically named as the one that coined the idea she would have been 12 years old by the time of the final episode, far from any college schooling like the hoax suggests. The final serialised episode is actually just a pretty mundane one with half the usual cast and a boring plot, due to the cast dissolving the crew for their own reasons. In 1992 they made a "reunion" season sort of speak but all of the cast that dissolved is absent and was always meant as a sendoff with very little plot since all of the jokes revolve around a classroom setting, no way Chavo would randomly go outside and get run over

There was a story passed around that Mr Ed's talking effect was a result of using peanut butter on the gums. It was decided to keep the actual method a secret as to not disappoint kids and that story was passed around. The funny thing is Bamboo Harvester was pretty smart and while it was done original with a thread to movie his mouth, he quickly learned move his lips when his hoof was touched and even on his own when Alan Young stopped talking. I honestly think kids would have been pretty impressed with being told he was a very smart horse over peanut butter.

1. Jimi did appear on The Tonight Show in July 10, 1969 to sing Lover Man, dedicating it to Brian Jones who had died a week before. Flip Wilson was guest hosting and the show seems to have been a disaster. Only audio still exists. He did praise Billy Gibbons on an episode of Dick Cavett. 2. Also I thought Mr Krabs said any port in a storm.

[@bobbie7618]

35:32 Worth noting that transcript is actually fanmade, not official, and I don't think it's right. "Any port in the store" kinda doesn't make sense unless Mr. Krabs is trying to buy some dessert wine, but "Any port in a storm" is exactly the kind of nautical-themed metaphor that Spongebob dialogue is full of. He's just saying he's willing to go anywhere to feel young, including the club he thinks they've taken him to.

[@luvvenus3727]

as a brazilian, i'm so glad you covered those brazilian topics! even tho some of them are pretty tragic, like the xuxa fire incident. My mom watched it live btw I think i have a explanation for the dragon ball Z being interrupeted by 9/11 mandela effect: In brazil, dragon ball Z was aired in the biggest tv channel here, which is called TV globo, and it was aired in a kids segement of the channel called ''tv globinho''. Since it's such a big TV channel, Globo has the ''Plantão da Globo'', where they interrupt the TV schedule to broadcast big and tragic events that happen in Brazil and around the world, such as the 9/11. In fact, the ''Plantão da Globo'' about the 9/11 did interrupted ''TV globinho'' schedule to broadcast the incident, but not necessarily Dragon Ball Z. I think that's why a lot of people tend to spread this misinformation sm

[@obananagato]

there is another detail that could have made some people confused dbz was also playing on CN at the time , still in the buu saga, but in the second half of the saga it may also have confused some people since it would make sense to a parent just change to globo when something so serious like this happens

[@redlion-paladin4609]

He also voiced Telatraan 1 and Cliffjumper in the original 1980's Transformers cartoon for the first 2 seasons and 1986 film but left afterwards due to a Middle Eastern joke in one of episodes (the city the episode took place in was called Carbomya with a population of 4000 people and 10,000 camels) causing Cliffjumper to disappear from the last seasons without explanation and Telatraan 1 destroyed resulting in the activation of Telatraan 2 voiced by Frank Welker.

I'm from Mexico. If I remember correctly the original Selene Delgado López broadcast was from the 90s, way before social media was a thing. Then in the 2010s another woman named Selena (with A) Delgado went missing. Later, in 2020 a person on Twitter linked the two and made up a whole conspiracy theory, claiming that the name had to be some kind of placeholder name for an experiment. At some point someone mentioned the photo looked way older than it was (in reality, most ID photos in the 90s were B&W), that her features felt somewhat uncanny, and then idiots on social media integrated that speculation into the experiment theory, now it was a social experiment involving artificially generated faces. The whole thing is incredibly stupid and the guy who originally posted it is a grifter.

One is where it appears for a split second opening the curtains of one of the houses before quickly closing them dissapearing, and another is when i think el chavo and quico are playing outside and behind them the dark shadow nearly runs in but quickly gets back behind the corner. Some viewers tried to explain this as maybe one of the crew members mistakenly was on set when noone besides the actors were supposed be on, but i think crew members did mention how noone else was on set or anywhere on set besides the actors

"A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet" This has a variation in Wander Over Yonder, but instead of that, Wander says "A villain is just a friend you haven't made yet" considering that the show focuses on villains frequently.

@@j-drummer9132 Or it just predicted he would run again since he had already ran in the two elections prior to the episode coming out. Its not a prediction, just pattern recognition.

“John Ritter’s Testicles Were Visible in an Episode of Three’s Company” would be a great band name.

I do wonder if the Barney line became twisted or pulled from a song I knew back when Barney was at its peak. I distinctly remember The Smile Song by The Countdown Kids having lyrics that held the lines, "Come on and smile Say hello A stranger's just a friend you don't know!" I had adored the song at the time and listened to it almost every day, and it's not out of the question for it to sound similar to the style of music Barney had.

I know this wasn’t apart of the iceberg, but this was weird. So, I remember watching a phantomstrider video. I don’t remember the topic, but they were talking about a deleted episode of SpongeBob that was taken off air for being too disturbing. This episode was called kwarintine krab. At the time, this episode I had never watched (probably because it was deleted). So, I didn’t think much of it until very recently. About 3 months ago, I was watching SpongeBob and saw a new episode was coming up. interested, I looked at the tv. after the intro had played, I saw a title screen I thought I would never see. I saw the screen saying kwarintine krab on it. I was so confused. Wasn’t this episode deleted? Why am I witnessing this? To this day, I’m not sure if it just wasn’t deleted, or if I was seeing something I shouldn’t be. And, if you ask me to describe the episode, I don’t honestly remember. I think it was the krusty krab was infected by a disease (I think in the food) and the restaurant had to be shut down with all of the staff members inside. There were a lot of those up close, hyper realistic scenes, showing a bunch of zits, spit, and other bodily things. But, I also remember the title card (I think this is right), it’s a green background with maroon-ish text. I still don’t know if what I saw was real.

[@Akkoro]

Couldn't say much about the plot, but it's a real episode, it was just taken off air. Not due to how disturbing it is necessarily, but more so because of its thematic similarities with the Covid pandemic. It's back on air now. Not really a lost episode, just a temporarily vaulted one.

[@RoyStorey]

For one not on here, I remember even as a kid the whole "boy told Bozo the clown to 'shove it' after losing a game" story going around. Or some variation of it where the kid flips Bozo off or swears at him.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

“That’s a Bozo no-no!” “FUCK YOU, CLOWNY!”

[@chrisw6164]

Yes, I don’t remember what the kid actually said but I do remember some kid getting ticked off after failing during the Grand Prize Game 😂

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Another rumor said that the kid pointed at his crotch to Bozo.

[@zeta-57]

The one I heard....kid gives Bozo the finger and told him to "climb it clown"

[@DeadbeatMind]

The Mr. Krabs thing was “any port in a storm.” Which is old sailor talk for I’ll take anything, not really better for a kids show😂

[@noone8785]

Legend has it that the original upload was 10 minutes longer and had an extra tier.

[@chrisw6164]

“A stranger’s just a friend you haven’t met” is taken from a Simpsons parody song in their happy musical version of “A Steetcar Named Desire”. It’s a riff on “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers” line from Streetcar, which you’ll have to look up the context on your own. I don’t know why or how anyone associated it with Barney, probably just a meme that got spread around.

[@hoodrowwilson]

I think Mr. Krabs' line in that episode is actually "Any port in a storm" which is a common phrase with nautical origins, which would make a ton of sense for the show.

[@adrianpaul1985]

It's kinda funny how people just accept things as law without looking further into it at all.

[@Account_Not_Applicable]

I was totally fooled into remembering that Russian Roulette conversation happened on Rugrats. And I shouldn't have been. I know Rugrats. I know this episode, and I have seen it a bunch of times. In this scene shown, Grandpa is trying to sneak in after being out all night, and attempts to lie saying he had come home the night before, but was up and about cuz he had a bad bug and was gonna go back to bed. I was fooled Herculad style by a freaking internet meme.

[@jaubuchon28]

What do you mean herculad style? He's the best Disney sidekick

[@Thecuregalore94]

Tomar what would you do if you were fooled into believing a false memory of an episode of Rugrats? Would you feel like a hoodwinked dumb dumb or would you be royally peeved that someone you trusted gaslit you talking about Rugrats?

[@dalepower632]

Happy Days ran from 1974-1984. It was SET in the 50's and early 60's. The video said it was from the 50's. :) I had to look, since I remember it being new... I'm not THAT old.

[@GARBL858]

Seeing the tax doctor entry actually reminded me that I've seen that commercial when I was like 7 or 8, witch was like 2011-2012. Hope this helps with finding it in some way. If not, it's nice to relive such an obscure memory.

[@Furball891]

This just popped randomly into my recommendations. Creepy fact icebergs are always good fun, and your calm and clear way of telling these bits was very enjoyable to listen to. Also alone during a night shift sure was a timing to listen to this. At least I had no problem staying awake, lol.

[@Zombie_Trooper]

Happy Days was a 70's show BASED on the 1950s.

[@heathers7789]

as a no cable kid growing up your pronunciation of qubo actually annihilated me

[@DezVT]

The chavo one is just crazy i didn't think it was real till i read in an interview that Chisprito(Chavo) was actually thinking about enfing the show like that was talked out of it

[@itsnick37]

Anybody else remember the Rugrats game on PS1? Used to really creep me out at a very young age at least…. Random but haven’t thought about that game in many years

[@ExtremeWreck]

There were 4 Rugrats games on PS1: Search For Reptar, Studio Tour, Rugrats In Paris & Totally Angelica.

[@deadlydanny9713]

Even though it got taken down, I came back to give this my full view 😭

[@WilfredCthulu]

I'm pretty sure Dead Bart came before the other lost episode creepypastas and is what they all tried to copy. Also most of the seizures and issues from the Pokemon episode were caused by news stations replaying the clip as well as just placebo.

[@AlexThe1Menace]

Wilfred with that knowledge 🔥

[@WilfredCthulu]

[@donotresuscitatetrampstamp]

damn i thought this was a part 2 at first 😭😭

[@mcbeefus12]

41:53 Pretty sure that there was an interview with Jimi Hendrix but just not the tonight show. He was asked the same exact question but Jimi replied with "I don't know ask Billy Gibbons"(ZZTOP).

[@Suchega_Uber]

It would make more sense if Mr. Krabs was saying "Any port in a storm.", which would be a nautical double entendre that any sailor would know.

[@mountnstream]

The CalArts conspiracy is just one side of the same coin. One tries to demonize an art-style they don't like becoming a trend, while the other tries to pigeonhole art into only being allowed to look one way. The latter is prevalent in debates on wheter something is a cartoon or an anime, by only judging on a surface level.

[@KerReeeee]

"Dark Side of the Rainbow"? I believe you mean "Dark Side of the Moon". Lol.

[@tonystair6818]

The Barney myth that I heard as a child was that at the original taping of the pilot episode, somebody assassinated the actor on the set and they were replaced.

[@swisserty]

That’s actually true

[@Joaquin__]

this just resparked the memory of me as a kid hearing about how a kid died before by mixing pop rocks and soda and i was so scared of it but now looking back its a hilarious idea

[@mikerotch9365]

babe wake up sourcebrew just dropped another classic

[@mikerotch9365]

nvm it’s a reupload

[@lucasmarossi4174]

Jimi Hendrix one actually lines up as to something that Hendrix would actually say lol

[@ShadeMeadows]

Darn great list! Impressed at the amount of Brazilian stuff.

[@QueenKaitio]

You bringing up the Veggie Monster rumour has healed something in me i didnt even know was there. I was so betrayed when my parents were talking about cookie monster being changed when i was little. I might've cried. Literally forgot about it until you said those words, and then it all came back.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Sorry you had to re-upload this my friend. Crazy thing was most of this i knew of growing up and heard from some older folks. Anyways still a great video. :)

[@garyraymer]

Some of these things on this iceberg made me go, "WTF"?? The one about Mr. Ed being a zebra, because it was a B&W show and the stripes don't show up on a B&W broadcast, made me laugh, and I had heard about a few others, but not much of the content, glad most of them were just either The Mandela Effect, or just creepy pasta stuff. Thanks for a very crazy,creepy and at times, funny video.

[@commissardale]

Krabs is obviously saying "any port in a storm", since his character revolves around half being a sailor, and the other half is him loving money. Besides how does "any port in the store" make sense? It's not even a saying. (Any port in a storm means "screw it, first chance we'll take what we can get", like picking up the last girl in a bar during last call of the night)

[@Catinpantry]

I remember hearing about " Timmy falling down the well " from a joke made by a stand up comedian (cannot remember who though) in the 90's... will do some research and update if i find it.

[@DragonArbock]

I find the judge judy thing funny because I think the parody of it in the amanda show used it a lot more.

[@The_D_ray]

Very interesting iceberg. Myths like these on mostly cartoons remind me of the infamous episode of the 2003 TMNT called "Nightmares Recycled". If you (very likely) don't know about it, I suggest you check it out. It's so crazy and kind of morbid that sounds like a creepypasta, especially considering the context.

[@uchytjes10]

35:50 I believe even the transcript is wrong and he is supposed to say 'any port in a storm' which is a common proverb originating from sailors.

[@AZTEK2011]

I love how you mentioned El chavo del ocho twice in this

[@c-puff]

28:38 What's hilarious is there is actually a Slenderman cameo in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. So this one is actually not that far off. Funny how the animated semi-horror cartoon did not have a Slenderman cameo, but My Little Pony did.

[@fearofthechippan]

I’m pretty sure Mr. Krabs says “Any port in a storm”, which fits with his sailorisms and reflects his desperate feelings in the episode

[@SionAllona]

I think the use of "cursed" in Cursed Kleenex Commercial at 7:12 is probably a less literal interpretation meaning something eerie or creepy and sometimes comically so, as in "cursed images."

[@littletoyinstrument]

there were rumours that actors involved died and that it fucked with technology or smth, neither of which are true but both definitions of cursed definitely apply

[@a.redwood]

Certainly not. The modern connotation of the word "cursed" you mention didn't even exist back then. Having seen videos about the hoax at the time, I can attest that they were talking about a literal curse, including the rumors mentioned by the previous commenter.

[@kendoruslink7017]

Great iceberg as always sourcebrew

Love the VGM music in the background, its super underrated
