The Garfield one is probably the only theory that gets debunked for a worse explanation. "Garfield gets sad when Jon leaves" but the creator is like "no, he just has an existential crisis every Monday because his monotonous life is passing him by"

[@JaxonHaxon]

For Ash's coma theory, I think people forget it's an anime (and of course, game series) set in Japan. Kids in Japan have quite a lot of freedom, you can see 5 year olds going to preschool alone using public transport or running errands. In a fictional world set in Japan I don't think letting a 10 year old go on a Pokemon journey be seen as that dangerous.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

I’ve also seen that element in Doraemon (another kids’ anime). In some episodes, Nobita/Noby is told by his mom to go shopping or run errands (of course, being lazy, he doesn’t want to).

Courage imagining the danger is one of VERY few "it's in their head" trope theories I think are actually good. Usually, I dislike them for being lazy because dream/imagination logic can always work, so they can't be disproven. But it makes sense for a dog's perception of the world to be skewed to extremely exaggerated distance and threats.

I think the Family Guy theory about Brian being a CIA experiment is connected to the CIA from American Dad, as all talking animals in the latter show are results of such. That part of the theory also connects other talking animals from other cartoons by the same creator, such as the bears in the Cleveland Show

There's a couple of episodes in which it is shown that Pinky is actually what makes his duo with Brain work, in one episode it is revealed that the problem of all of Brain's plans is himself, and Pinky's inputs are what fixes his flawed ideas, I think this is also the episode where Pinky becomes "smart", but he is basically the same but can express himself in a more conventionally intelligent way. So the theory is actually kind of accurate.

[@ChaoticTabris]

There is also an episode in which Brain is believed dead and finds out that Pinky conquered the world instead and easily so.

[@porscheprairie3232]

Pinky can also read and Brain can't, right?

[@rredzone]

It’s all in the theme song. Pinky and the Brain, Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius, the other’s insane. Pinky’s name is sung first, and “genius” is the trait which is sung first. Brain = Insane

[@AluminumFusion22]

To add on to that, Pinky actually makes the world better, which is actually The Brain's goal as well, with an added degree of narcissism. The Brain does genuinely want to make the world better by conquering it.

[@warioland523]

I'm thinking they are both highly intelligent. It's just Pinky's intelligence is less obvious until you read between the lines and find out that his stupidity and insanity could very well be fabricated.

For the Ms Frizzle as a timelord theory, it basically comes down to the bus being her tardis. A tardis can take any form via a chemeloen circuit. The police box that we all recognize is only the given form of the Doctors Tardis, which has a broken chameleon circuit.

[@BlackMoonHowls]

Or so they say. That's another conspiracy right there. That the TARDIS stays that way because either she likes it or does so to please The Doctor.

[@CNYTE]

​@BlackMoonHowls I'm pretty sure Donna tells him how to fix it in "Journey's End" but the Doctor doesn't want to change the police box look because he likes it/he loses the TARDIS a lot already, so he probably wouldn't want it to blend in even further, which explains the slight differences between all of the Doctor's different TARDIS exteriors.

[@freakthecentipede2743]

I love the Ed Edd n Eddy parental abuse theory because it's canon Eddy is the most obvious one, being abused and beat up by his adult older brother, and that's what caused him to be like... that Edd (double D) isn't physically abused but litterally never sees his parents, they talk to him via sticky notes only and it's mostly just telling him to do chore and to work non stop. They seems to be weirdly invasive too as there's a sticky note in his bathroom telling him to "not touch himself" And Ed lives in the disgusting basement, in horrible conditions. Yes, Ed is messy and most of the broken, dirty things are probably because of him but still, he's like 12 and mentally disabled, that's not his responsability. His parents also let his little sister beat him up and always take her side. He's also often showed hoarding food and hiding it everywhere which is a red flag.

[@andreibaciu7518]

There's an episode where Eddy's dad's hand as well as Ed's mom's apear from off screen and drag them, presumably to give them a can of whoop ass, for their poor grades. And also they literally _took the stairs_ to Ed's room. Even Double D remarks its disturbing.

1:03:42 'Gargamel' is not a Jewish name. It is the masculine form of 'Gargamelle', the mother of the titular character of the classic French novel Gargantua and Pantagruel. The claim that is actually made is that Gargamel is a Jewish caricature because he possesses a large nose, has a cat named Azrael (after the Jewish angel of death), and in the first series of the Hanna-Barbera Smurfs animated series, he is portrayed as an alchemist who wants to turn the Smurfs into gold-- in subsequent series of the show, he simply wants to eat them.

For the Andy's mom theory. There's more evidence to it. The cowboy hat Andy has as a kid is actually a kid size replica of Jessie's hat, not Woody's. And in the flashback where it shows Jessie being played with by a young girl, the girl is wearing the same child size version of Jessie's hat. Given that the toy line that Woody and Jessie come from are from an older puppet show that was popular around the time that Andy's mom would be a child, and it being difficult if not impossible to find items and toys from that line in the time the movies take place, it would make sense that Andy got the hat from his mom as one of her old toys she held on too while also misplacing Jessie.

Squidward being heroin makes no sense. He fits alcohol a lot more: depressive, unaware of how untalented he is, agitated, and lacking energy for the most part.

[@greenhunter473]

1:01:26 Professor Oak being Sammy actually isn't part of the theory, that's straight up canon and confirmed in the movie itself at the end. It's the big twist of the film, Oak has Sammy's journal in the present day (you can even see in his lab in the Let's Go games apparently), he somehow knew Sammy's name despite it never being said to him, and even outright says that he remembers it (the events of the movie) just like yesterday to himself in the English dub. Which I guess means that the theory might as well be considered canon as well since if Oak knew Ash had a Pikachu when he first met him as a kid then he probably figured that he had to give him Pikachu anyways when the time came.

[@Miniperi.1032]

For those that still don't get Bob representing lust. The sin of lust is sometimes interpreted as excess of pleasure, as in you prioritize finding pleasure over everything else. In Bob's case, he loves working so much he neglects his physical/mental health (Fear of a Krabby Patty) and also works for below minimum wage, and sometimes he pays Mr. Krabs to work for him (Big Pink Loser).

[@AsymmetricalCrimes]

That's not what lust orginally meant. At least not in Christianity. Lust originally meant having love for someone other than God. People weren't expected to love their wives or families, as you were only supposed to love God. Lust is literally just loving someone which is why it the most ridiculous of all the sins.

[@mendeleyev1790]

@@AsymmetricalCrimesno that's so wrong lust is always related to adultery not love. Jesus says that to even look at a woman with lust is basically adultery

[@AsymmetricalCrimes]

@@mendeleyev1790 Some translations of Peter 2:11 and Peter 4:2 say "we must no longer live for human passions but for the will of God” when describing lust. Modern ones specifically mention flesh which what I believe is what your talking about. For many Christian sects (but not all), lust (or more broadly; passion) was a desire for anything not specifically related to God's will. This included love for people (like your wife or kids) over God. In the early Christian days, showing any strong appreciation of anything not related to God was considered sinful.

The whole "Aladdin is a tall tale" theory holds some water. There's a deleted scene where it's revealed that the Genie is the merchant at the end. However, the King of Thieves movie blows that theory out of the water, since at the end of said movie, Aladdin and Jasmine fly by the same merchant on a magic carpet. How the hell is that possible if it's a tall tale? Personally, I think they intended to be so that the merchant is the Genie recounting the tale of his life to make us buy the same lamp he was trapped in, but then it was retconned when the TV series came out.

[@sorcerersapprentice]

@@SSJacksWolf I'm not sure, to be honest. On one hand, I agree they did make edits to the movie for that reason. They changes some lyrics in "Arabian Nights". The city was originally gonna be just Baghdad, Iraq thanks to taking a lot of inspo from a movie called "The Thief of Baghdad", but they changed it to Aragbah thanks to some war going on at the time. I even remember seeing an early recording of a song in the broadway version as a kid where they say "Baghdad". Though, they reused that idea in the live action, since the Genie is the one telling the story to his kids. Why take it out then and add it back into a movie where they are trying to be more culturally sensitive? I just believe the Occam's Razor explanation that they just retconned it so they could add the Genie to the TV series.

[@schmecklin377]

Robin Williams also voices the merchant. The TV show can probably just be ignored as non canon lol

How about Bob the builder bring the mafia head? Think about it. He gets every construction job in the town. He eats primarily in that Italian restaurant. His office is above that Italian restaurant. I think his girlfriend is Italian as well. He donates equipment whenever their is a disaster in town. He is chummy with all the cops. The mayor is his buddy. Put it all together and it's hard to ignore.

[@JoshuaGutierrez-yq2bi]

He has ties in high places thats for sure

[@Savannah_Simpson]

That one with the magic school bus characters becoming the planeteers is super easy to debunk. Considering Ms. Frizzles class are all American kids and the a main plot point of Captain Planet is the planeteers are from around the world. Also like they all have completely different names.

I watched this whole thing while grinding contracts on TF2. Good video.

[@AugustQ-p1w]

In defense of the "Slade is Robin" theory, Teen Titans is a self-contained continuity not really bound to the constraints of main DC comics or DCAU canon. It takes liberties with other characters and their backstories too (albeit mostly for the sake of making them a little more kid-friendly) and IIRC Slade's backstory is never really explained in the show, so it's kind of up in the air and doesn't necessarily have to be the same as his comic counterpart. It's not a theory I personally believe in, but idk, I feel like you didn't give it a fair shake, for reasons that don't really hold up

[@luigivoncheeseburgerjenkinsiv]

In fact, a deleted scene of Aladdin showed the Merchant becoming the Genie at the very end of the film.

I can believe that Courage the cowardly dog is just from Courage's pov. I have a very high strung cat and you can't even fart around him without him turning into a meowing mess.

[@alicemoonlight123]

I always thought the Ash never aging as a base for theories was so silly. No cartoon characters age??? So every cartoon must have immortal characters or people in comas lol

[@tb3411]

Kinda upset the iceberg creator didn't include the Peggy Hill brain damage theory. Also, quick correction: Johnny Test is not an original Cartoon Network property but an import from Canada that first debuted on Kids WB and Teletoon.

[@oli-o8816]

Sorry bout that

[@ExtremeWreck]

Actually it was originally a Warner Bros. production made for Kids WB! before the show became ownership of Wildbrain, though most of the show would still be done in the US, just with most of the crew replaced. Only the animation & ownership had any Canadian part to it.

I've noticed sourcebrew got a lot of minor facts in this video wrong, likely from a lack of extensive research and/or knowledge of the show itself. Not to mention how some of the theories he discussed have even been proved entirely wrong by newer episodes of the shows and statements by their creators (mostly the Loud House adoption theory and Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy origin theory, though I'm sure there are some more instances littered throughout the video)

[@camsesii2287]

I’ve always believed that Rosie is the narrator in Caillou, and that she’s recounting the events of her childhood spent with her brother, who died of leukemia at a young age. She remembers her childhood with him fondly, and she is no longer saddened by his death since it’s been so long.

The only one that is a good theory is the mutant fish

[@protostnl6369]

Personally, it's a bit of both. There are some theories that I can sort of understand and there also that are straight up nonsense. Unsurprisingly, a majority of the darker theories leaned towards the latter.

[@mrECisME]

I think that's the point

[@BoltUnagi]

Ed Edd n Eddy theory makes no sense because the show came out in 1999. Then how would Jimmy even die in the early 2000s?

[@Krothopis]

Ash: "yeah that was a crazy year."

[@brandonluna2292]

Aside from Caillou, there's also the Charlie Brown theory that suggested he too has cancer explaining why he's bald. Another one is also from Beauty and the Beast where there was a deer head hung on the wall of Gaston, which was supposedly Bambi's father, further possibly indicating that he may have been the one who killed his mother as well. Then there was Scar's head worn in Hercules as if it may have been collected after the events of The Lion King.

[@pgj1997]

29:34 There was a musical episode that disproves this. We see that Dexter's mom in labor, and that she did indeed birth him (don't worry, it's not graphic or anything). Also, in the same episode, Dee Dee is already shown to be about three or four years old by the time Dexter was born, so no way could have they have both been swapped at birth.

[@IQ-of-a-Goldfish]

literally almost every show ever made can be explained by the main character being in a coma

I'm so amazed by the consistency of quality content you keep delivering lately. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@benacing]

the Flapjack/Adventure Time theory actually just got confirmed in Fionna and Cake!

[@Jinxanator66]

Considering Flapjack gave birth to almost every other show. A lot of people who worked on Flapjack went on to work on other projects or make their own things

[@daymonharris8696]

Flapjack and Chowder really did lay the foundation for the 2010s cartoons.

[@lainiwakura1776]

Considering that's just Ice King's fanfiction, it's not canon. Also AT stopped being good in season 5, when Pen left and let the crazy writers take over.

The Mooninites are from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and the signs were put up as advertisement for the upcoming movie, which came out a couple months later

I have a personal theory that ash and Pikachu actually died at the end of episode one, and that ho-oh brought them back to life. If you know ho-oh's backstory with the legendary dogs, then you know it has this power.

Me: makes a show about a porcupine because I think they are cute some redittor years after the fact: "his porcupine represents the author's toxic behavior and it explains that he never really got in touch with anyone"

[@SuburbOver]

Most early 2000’s conspiracies can really all be summed up as “all in le head”

[@Max25670]

So basically most theories are the plot takes place in a post-apocalyptic or was just imagined by someone.

[@rachelpogue66]

I heard a theory that SpongeBob is a war veteran with PTSD. He follows strict routines, works hard, respects authority, plus there's the whole battle scene from the second movie

[@andredavila3731]

Always a good day when sourcebrew uploads👍

[@MikeVonwolkenstein]

There’s certainly some theories I can believe like Donald having PTSD from WW2 since it’s not a stretch at all from what the cartoons showed. The gumball simulation one is another one I believe is true since the show does go over meta elements and the ending played around that idea. The SpongeBob ones I believe in a few since the show in it’s early seasons had a range of jokes that was certainly aimed at adults (you know the ones) So things with misses puff, the tarter sauce one and to some degree the skin theory can be true. Also I never realized that plankton business was failing cause it was meat that he was selling. But maybe he has a side business with selling his inventions and the chum bucket is just been a personal act of rivalry against Krabs. Since they did work together once and everything plankton does is always been trying to smite him even to petty levels. But another banger iceberg btw 🔥🔥

[@mrmadfunny5507]

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

[@literallyjustisaac3521]

The ATLA is a post-apocalyptic world theory can easily be disproven by the sequel series, The Legend of Korra, bekng set during the Industrial Revolution. Both shows are clearly supposed to be set during real time periods, just with the addition of bending

I love listening to the "Doofenschmirtz is Phineas' father" theory because it means that Ferb would be having the hots for his cousin.

Half of these are just “what if kid cartoon but DARK 😈” and it’s kinda tiring.

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

The only one that I believe is that Ugly Sonic was 100% a publicity stunt. They created a purposefully horrible sonic trailer, something that looks straight up out of SNL. That was so bad, that the internet would universally hate it, and demand it be changed. And the studio would give them all the credit for making them change the design (google the term "astroturfing" for complete context). And then all those people who launched this "grassroots" effort, would now be compelled to financially go to the theaters and support it with their dollars because "oMg tHeY LiStEnEd tO ThE FaNs!! wE hAvE tO SuPpOrT tHiS mOvIe nOw WiTh oUr DoLLaRS" Even though none of the other fan outcrys that trace back decades before, or since Sonic have "LiStEnEd tO ThE FaNs." When people hated the look of Flounder and Sebastian in the Little Mermaid, they didn't go back and change them. There have been petitions for an Ugly Sonic movie. Why haven't they made an Ugly Sonic movie? Why don't they "LiStEn tO ThE FaNs" and make the ugly sonic we all want?

[@TheSultan1470]

Um... I don't know, whatever. Beauty is in the eye if the beholder, after all

[@rando843]

I simply don't believe it cuz the trailers were complete. That's way too much effort rendering and shit for something that could've easily backfired

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

@@rando843 it was designed to backfire. They intended for there to be backlash, and they got exactly what they wanted. They knew exactly how the internet would react, and everyone played right into the palm of their hand.

[@DrinkiePinkie]

Believe it or not, spending extra money on a marketing campaign that gives you headlines like "this movie looks like shit" is a terrible idea that no one would intentionally do. You're trying to make the incompetence of studio executives and shareholders seem like a "I'm only pretending to be retarded" 200 IQ movie. Also yes astroturfing is real, but the sonic fandom is autistic as shit (takes one to know one) and would make petitions like that lmao. If the ugly design was an actual planned publicity stunt, either paramount or some ad agency or consultancy would have admitted and taken credit for it by now. But they haven't. They have talked about how they fucked up the Sonic design though. This ain't some serious government coverup - it's a movie that was released 4 years ago.

[@bemiatto67]

Chadtronic did a deep dive on this theory. I honestly had some belief in it, but the fact that there was merch made of Ugly Sonic is a pretty strong reason that this wasnt a publicity stunt. No studio would throw away all that money for fake merch

11:55 Sociopathy, now called Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), is a traumagenic condition. it comes from severe child abuse, which, while greg has cringe helicopter parents, they do love him and were not inflicting trauma that would ever cause that kind of condition. Just thought Id point this out. One of my old best friends has ASPD and she is an incredible and kind person, always has been, just couldnt feel what others felt but still felt pain herself. she could still use logic to understand when something she wants to do could be hurtful

[@drivingbritt9617]

As an amature student of Jungian psychology, the idea of the Powerpuff Girls representing the three divisions in the Human psyche is not all that out there to me. Carl Jung believed that the Human mind naturally tries to categorize the people and things we encounter in our lives, and that since most people's minds tend to follow the same or at least a mostly similar thought process, we tend to categorize things according to the same general framework. This is called Jungian Architypes. You can slot most characters in fiction into one or more of these architypes. For example, in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Katara near perfectly fits the architype of the Mother, Iroh fits neatly into the Wise Old Man or the Sage, Sokka is sort of a blend of the Ruler, the Scholar, and the Warrior, and Aang fits the Hero quite well, but he also has elements of the Everyman. Ultimately, when you tell a story, you are laying out a piece of your mind for all to see, and naturally, your perceptions will bleed into anything you create, ESPECIALLY stories, hence why almost all characters in stories fit so neatly into these architypes that we see in other people.

[@pennyforyourthots]

I would argue that jung basically just tried to fit psychology into a narrative framework (because narratives are incredibly attractive to the human mind). I would argue jung applied broad archetypes to the mind, rather than those archetypes being a natural extension of something in the human brain. He basically just made psychology horoscopes.
