The History of Caillou: The Most HATED Cartoon Character

His Head Was A Metafore As The Kid Is Blad Not Because He Has Cancer...But Is A Cancer By The Way He Acts

[@halfdemonprince]

Cailou’s problem was him trying to be both relatable and a role model for kids. Role models aren’t supposed to be relatable, they’re supposed to be an ideal that you should to live up to. For example, Elmo isn’t very relatable as a character. What kids are supposed to do is look at how kind and compassionate Elmo is, notice the way all his friends love him, internalize that, and grow up with the message of treating others with kindness. Same goes for Superman. Cailou should’ve either been unrealistically kind and well behaved, or be a realistic toddler and get visibly punished for his actions.

@@jadedheartsz Couldn't have said it better myself. Shows like Sesame Street, Barney, Clifford, Blue's Clues, The Magic School Bus, Dora the Explorer, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, even Spongebob Squarepants all have one thing in common: they taught kids real valuable life lessons like friendship, problem solving, respecting your elders, love, kindness, the spirit of adventure, culture, science and being helpful, shaping the minds of every child to eventually grow up to become intelligent and respectful individuals who understand the importance of the true meaning and value of life and how to live it to the fullest.

Shit I'll be real here and just say that I liked Caillou as a child. Listen be honest guys. A large part of children had to like this show for it to be successful. Think about it like this though. Your a kid who doesn't know what is good, so a child getting whatever he wanted seemed like heaven lol. Thank god my mother and father weren't dumb enough to just let me act like that character. Now I look back at it in disgust. God it kills me to think that I liked this as a child, but your very impressionable as a child so it makes sense. Which is even more of a reason that if you are a parent you should monitor what your children are experiencing on television and through their daily life.

First of all, _please_ watch your language! Second of all, it's okay for him to be bald, it's not that big of a deal... Third of all, he originally wouldn't tend to face any _mild_ consequences, such as violence and life-termination. Fourth of all, I really love him no matter what, I have already said it. He may be acting spoiled because he oftentimes didn't get what he really wanted, but that's still okay! It really doesn't matter to me about his childish behavior. Fifth of all, the so-called "logic" is not any stupider than anything in the history of whatsoever.

I once read an article about the fact that basically every baby and toddler is a narcissist. In the first years of a kids life they just are aware of their own needs and emotions. They throw tantrums because they cant understand when their needs and emotions are not met. This first years is when they learn the concept of things consequences of action (touching a hot plate hurts for example), empathy and other social skills. They learn that not only their needs and emotions exist, but that others have the same feelings too, and that they can influence other peoples feelings (making them happy with giving them a hug etc.). So parenting basically means to train their kids NOT to be narcissists, which is kinda the default setting for toddlers. By not raising your kid, and setting boundaries or praising good social behavior you are basically allowing your kid to stay a narcissist, so they will eventually fail to understand why life around them doesn't work the way it did then they where little. So they have to gradually learn from their surroundings and hope to cope some day. Furthermore enabling a toddlers negative behavior like seen in the show will very likely actively make them narcissist as adults. So yeah, that kid is gonna be a serial killer lol.

Kids do usually want to grow up too fast. Like my little sister, she's now starting to randomly hate things she used to love I really hope I'm not making her do that lol

[@Hirundo-demersalis]

@@kattozilla74 it’s pretty normal for kids to go through that, because since they’re maturing so fast, a four year old’s interests are vastly different than a two year old’s, and so on. I’m 22, and stuff for teenagers feels like it’s for babies now too.

Tari from SMG4 would like to know your location for that comment caillou

[@missmoxie9188]

I actually knew people who had to ban their children from watching Caillou because their children emulated his behavior

[@morganrussman]

I'm not sure if it was on this videos comment section or what, but I read where someone mentioned where they let their kid watch calliou, and they acted like him and the person had to pull them away from watching the show and they stopped. I'm glad I was interested in other shows at the time and not calliou.

[@Polar_Bear7]

@@morganrussman it happens with a lot of shows. Kids shouldn’t be watching cartoons for hours every day. Currently my niece will mimic the little girl from “Masha and the Bear”. I don’t think shows for kids should demonstrate bad behaviors, or some weird process where the kid does something bad then learns. Irl, no kid actually understands that’s the point. The show is just entertainment, and sadly, when a kid spends hours a day, every day, for years watching tv, it becomes a way for them to learn socialization. Kids are really simple, they just need to be treated like kids and given a proper explanation along with a punishment they can understand. They need an adult who’s in control of their emotions and reactions, and knows punishment exists for a reason.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

@@Polar_Bear7 Kids are capable of understanding lessons depicted in kid’s shows, but it depends on their level of rationale. A two year old watches shows for entertainment, but at a bit older like five+ we can see kids display some level of rational, but at the same time it depends on the individual cuz some people don’t learn at all. The solution is to monitor your kids and keep their tv consumption to what they can handle.

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

Oh, Masha... She's got way too much energy, though, exhausting to watch her bounce off of everything. She gave my kid kasha cravings from an episode where she made too much kasha (semolina porridge) and my daughter wanted to try it. And the bear has delusions of grandeur. I watch everything like that with my kids. They think she's bad, but they like to watch it for language reasons. Nowadays there are better cartoons for that and we stopped Masha i Medved.

[@MagnusPeccatori]

​@@Polar_Bear7reminds me of when I was a kid and I would mimic Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was my favorite show. My mom didn't understand why I acted that way until years later, but she thought it was adorable. I guess kids imitating cartoons isn't always bad. I was very easy to scare, but Courage taught me to face my fears, which I guess is a very important lesson to learn at that age I still can't watch the Kimg Ramses episode, though 😂😂😂😂

[@AFormerUser]

Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles don’t like Caillou.

[@novonovo4617]

Here's is a fact: Caillou's voice actress died before she even turned into a adult, and this makes that "growing up is not so tough" more meaningful.

[@KRMurdy]

My Mom HATED Caillou. It was one of the few shows I was banned from watching, because he was so bratty and she didn't want me acting like that. She made a good decision, I didn't throw too many tantrums.

[@thunderbird1921]

You know what's funny? My parents apparently did such a good job disciplining me that I hated his behavior by the time I was 6-7 years old. I was like, "Stop acting like a baby, Caillou, this is embarrassing!" I often switched the TV off or changed channels when his show came on (my parents were kind enough to teach me how to change it to other appropriate channels, so I didn't have to suffer). The only show that was stupider or more annoying to me at that age was Barney, UGH. I still cringe to this day at his "I love you" song.

[@KRMurdy]

@@thunderbird1921 lol around 6-7 years I knew how to change channels too and had the exact same experience. (My earlier post I would have been 3-4 years old)

[@thunderbird1921]

@@KRMurdy I can't help but laugh when I look back at my early childhood, so many times I saw "kids' entertainment" and starting at 4-5 years old would find myself repeatedly saying "This is so stupid!" Many are so dumb or brainless that we treat our kids as if they're toddlers. Please people, children can think and from an early age often discover how rough the world is. Please do not torture them with mindless content, crappy behavior and annoying songs every two to five minutes. Thank you.
