[@devingiles6597]

I think the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Just One Bite was controversial because in the original October 2001 Nickelodeon airing, there was a scene when Squidward breaks in to The Krusty Krab. At the entrance, Squidward saw a bucket thought it supposed to be a burgler alarm, however it was a bucket of gas and a light match randomly appeared causing him to blow up. When he went to the kitchen for the patty vault, there was another bucket full of gas and Squidward blows up again. Sadly, that scene was permanently removed from future TV airings likely due to the infamous terrorist attacks of September 11th of that year.

controversy doesnt bother me, in reality what bothers me is how it bothered so many people. for example "One Beer", they were trying to send a good message there, but the outrage was so loud, they had to remove it. sheesh, it's a good thing Roseanne did a good episode on alcohol, so at least kids can learn somewhere.

[@270MOX]

Well, Looney Tunes is a franchise that focuses a lot in children, so mixing that with things like alcohol, drugs, or even worse things could not only scare children, but confuse them too. It also depends on HOW you send the message if your episode will include a life lesson. It's like showing you that killing is bad when one of the characters actually gets killed in the episode

[@UltimateGamerCC]

That story about why Issac Hayes left South Park has since been debunked. By the time of release he was actually pretty unwell and although he wanted to keep going his family took it unto themselves to have him retire so he could spend the rest of his life as comfortable as possible. Although he didn't find the episode funny Hayes held no bad vibes towards Parker & Stone.

Thank you for this. Was looking for it so I didn't have to post it myself, lol.

[@frankcortes6852]

Although, Hayes did said that he was against the episode but that was NOT the reason why he left. Hayes actually left because of what you said. Also, some of Hayes friends and family members have said that the reason that he said that he was against the episode was because he was feeling depressed since he knew that he was going to die. He was a little touchy back then.

It amazes me anyone would complain about a certain episode of South park, If you don't like offensive cartoons why are you watching, South park, know what I mean? Not personally, I'm a fan of the show, but I can understand why someone would be offended by the show itself, but to complain about one episode cos it was antisemitic means you're ok with anti-catholicism, anti-scientology etc etc

I Did Not Knew That Pokemon Had An Controversial Episode In Its Early Seasons... And Even So, In This Day Nintendo Have Made Some Controversy On Their Franchise's. (HELLO FIRE EMBLEM FATES)

[@mrwassef]

It wasn’t really because of content but because it caused seizures from the flashing lights.

[@PeterRH432]

And They Forgot To Put On An Seizure Warning?

[@mlggamer5296]

Ren and stimpy had a lot of weird episodes honestly so it's not surprising it had at least one controversial episode

[@phunnyphantom]

I like how HBO max doesn't have those south park episodes. It's a paid streaming app, with 200 and 201 that could be one of the few ways to watch them. But I guess it's my argument for a lot of stuff that if you don't like what you're watching, change the channel.

[@CrossoverFan4life]

Clicked for South Park to see Stan going against Scientology. Also called number 1

[@GigiButterflie]

As far as the Boondocks Dr King episode: if Al Sharpton has a problem with it, PLAY IT ON REPEAT.

[@Ret4life]

#8 was just pure comedy gold. Bugs Bunny will slap your shit no matter who you are.

[@nickantonian70]

I think you guys should finally do Top 10 Worse Things To Happen To Kyle Broflovski. Y’all have been posting more South Park content than usual lately and after everything Kyle has endured, he deserves an episode dedicated to him.

[@Hassebrawbier]

As a Brazilian, I must state that Simpson's episode about Brazil was boring but not offensive.

There are recently 2 Spongebob episodes that have been banned. One is from the golden age of the show. A season 3 episode called “Mid-Life Crustacean” shows Mr. Krabs feeling down in the dumps because he’s thought of as old by not only his daughter Pearl but the other citizens of Bikini Bottom. At the Krusty Krab he overhears Soongebob and Patrick taking about their big night on the town. He asks if he can be included and they agree. What ensues is one of the lamest nights known to man. Mr. Krabs calls them out for not being cool and Patrick livens up the evening by saying they were planning on participating in a panty raid. This significantly cheers Mr. Krabs up and he’s feeling like his old self again until he realizes the panty raid is taking place at his mother’s house. She catches him and grounds him for the rest of the night. I personally have always loved this episode but once the show was added to Paramount+ it was decided that this episode should not be included because of the panty raid scene. Also Nickelodeon has decided to never air this episode again on cable. The scene is pretty innocuous even by today’s standards (episode aired originally just about 20 years ago) so I was surprised its been banned. The other episode that has been banned and has actually never seen the light of day is a more recent episode slated to come out some time last year called “Kwarantined Krabs.” I don’t know much about the episode other than that a virus spreads around the Krusty Krab and everyone associated has to be quarantined until it passes. This episode was banned for obvious reasons due to the COVID pandemic and for people potentially thinking this episode would make light of a serious situation. However, the show’s production team said they had the idea for this episode well before the pandemic hit and it was just a case of poor timing with its release. Who knows if this episode will ever air in any form. There was also one additional episode of Family Guy to mention. It’s the infamous episode where Lois gets an abortion. I believe in this episode Lois becomes a surrogate for friends who can’t have a baby on their own. Later down the road the wife does become pregnant and Lois’ services are no longer needed. She then has the agonizing decision of whether to continue the pregnancy or have an abortion. I remember this episode was supposed to air for either the 7th or 8th season in like 2009. There was a lot of controversy surrounding this episode particularly because it would have aired on Fox and we all know their stance on abortion. As far as I know, unlike with “When You Wish Upon a Weinstein” which ultimately aired years later on Adult Swim, this other episode has never aired on tv in any form. I do believe it was included on the DVD box set from the season it was slated for. At the time it was the only way to see this episode. I’m sure of you look hard enough you can find it online somewhere these days.

[@traviswhitfield8045]

I knew Mr. Krabs was cheat, but this episode made me competently despise him.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

Have never understood the appeal of Ren and Stempy, SpongeBob and Beavis and Butt Head. Guess I'm not dumb enough.

[@alim.9801]

That's me with Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers, the characters all just sound annoying to me

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

@@alim.9801 I agree with you about those cartoons too.

Yeah

[@tazinboor3913]

I’m going to say it, I’m going to say it, *South park is way too overrated* I said it, and I’m sticking by it, I just don’t like South Park. Edit: I just watched up to season 13, and I love the show now

[@sokka47]

At least you didn't dub them as the only best like other youtube channels with the names like '10k subscribers without video.' God bless you if you create your own content.

[@aidanhever3369]

Here are some honorable mentions: - The Mask (Courage the Cowardly Dog): Depiction of racism, sexism, domestic abuse, and homosexuality. - Leap Frogs (Rocko's Modern Life): Mrs. Bighead tried to make an affair with Rocko ! - Hot Spells (Darkwing Duck): Gosalyn made a deal with the devil ! - The Mask of Matches Malone ! (Batman: The Brave and the Bold): The sexual innuendo song by the Birds of Prey. - No Such Luck (The Loud House): The realistic depiction of child abuse. - Equal Fights (The Powerpuff Girls): It feels more like feminazi propaganda rather than teaching us about the real meaning of feminism.

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Equal Fights one is your personal, albeit wrong opinion.

[@gerardgarcia8501]

What about “The Hero” from The Amazing World of Gumball? Did the writers watched The Equal Fights episode from PPG and made Nicole and Anais act like Femme Fatale? Nicole and Anais are about to become feminist Icons in cartoon network, and the writers fucked them up with that scene and made them Misandrists

[@gerardgarcia8501]

No Such Luck Should’ve been on that list Fans are so pissed off about that episode, they made endless memes and fanfics anout that episode

[@waheedabdullah6371]

I really hate "Spongebob, You're Fired!" I am so interested that this episode is controversial.

The amount of fun that the voice actors in that Dexters Lab episode must’ve had…

[@Rebelwithacause94]

I remember watching the cussing Arthur episode with my mum and we were both taken back. It was more cringe than anything seeing kids swearing at each other

[@Compucles]

What about the episode "Deadly Force" from "Gargoyles"? While most people consider it to be a very good message for gun safety, it was still controversial enough to get banned from syndication airings on Toon Disney for a while.

[@hoffl09]

It's just sad that they censored Kyle's Final Speech at the ende of the episode. He doesn't even talk about religion at all, but how terrorizing and threatening people actually works. And well as you can see even that got censored and thats just sad.

[@scarletthammer5270]

🙄 The best episode of Dexter's lab! Controversy is needed in kids shows. It's unrealistic for them to think everyone is always good and happy all the time
