I managed a toy store when the Teletubbies toys came out, so I watched a few episodes so I’d know what they were about. I learned that people who make childrens shows have access to really good drugs.

Completely agree. Drugs are a crazy thing.

BooBah was my first realization and those creators were nuts. https://youtu.be/v7kkDOQPqps

Voice: Chris Langham

Oh Jesus Christ why did he have to be involved.

> On 2 August 2007, Langham was found guilty of 15 charges of downloading and possessing level 5 child sexual abuse images and videos. Langham was jailed for 10 months, reduced to 6 months on appeal. He was made to sign the sex offenders' register and was banned from working with children for 10 years.

Crazy colorful, wacky kid shows are basically drugs for little kids. It makes them stupid and are highly addictive

I’ve watched that show turn a three year old speaking pretty much complete sentences into a babbling idiot. Not just during the show. It took the rest of the day for him to shake it off.

Yup. More trippy than scary. That vacuum cleaner thing was bizarre.

The first time my husband and I saw an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, we thought the exact same thing! Pretty sure that’s where all the LSD is going!

I always described that show as an LSD rave for toddlers to anyone who asked what it was about.

I mean, just look at them. Truly terrifying and illogical for all ages let alone their target audience!

Meatcanyon is quite the unnerving animator.

Also why does his mkuth sound moist when hevoices some of the characters

Iirc, there's an episode of Pingu that was either banned or censored everywhere but Canada.

Timpstar t1_itukd2v wrote

The episode is called Pingu's Dream, and was banned because of this fucker.

There was actually another banned episode where pingu "gets drunk" and pisses on the floor and stuff.

Makes sense he was scary not just on top and underneath, but scary both in the front and back.

I'm surprised that it was just parts of one episode.

I mean, all of them look like a bad acid trip or something.

The lion reminded the kids too much of Uncle Merv playing unscheduled games of hide and seek.

but then there were some fucking frightening scenes in Sesame Street that were down right terrifying to me as a kid in the 80's

[deleted] t1_ituhg0e wrote

There’s actually an entire episode that got banned in the 80s if I’m not mistaken. Look up Episode #847 of Sesame Street.

The Margaret Hamilton episode. It aired in 1976 when I was seven years old, and I remember watching it. I don't remember being particularly traumatized by it. I was mostly amazed that the sweet little old lady and the Wicked Witch of the West were the same person.

I guess a lot of kids were scared by that episode. I loved the Wicked Witch of the West and would have loved to see that episode but it was banned long before I was born (95) 😅

The legend was that some kid jumped to the well and died in an attempt to recreate the scene from the show

I never understood this fucking show. I watched tons of it with my kids years ago and I always thought watching it would make my kids idiots.

It's meant for 0-4 year olds who generally aren't known for being geniuses.

I thought it was gonna eat the bear. Not really sure why they thought that was so creepy. Teletubbies was weird af anyways. I liked the bear that floated outta the sky in a ufo thing and danced around.

FabulousEmotions t1_ittkdm2 wrote

Ultimately, they don't learn to handle their shit and share, so fuck that lion and fuck that bear. Not a cool message to send your demographic, Teletubbies! Get back to that baby in the sun shit. That's hella positive. /s

JauntyTurtle t1_ittmoph wrote

My oldest son couldn't watch the show. The fact that there was a baby in the sun freaked him out. He'd start crying and saying that the baby would get burnt and to get it out.

I mean I still remember the episode where one teletubby gets a vacuum shoved in his ass by no-no

Maybe that one should have been banned

meh, the scariest part was that the audio channels were flipped.

I wish they had banned all of the episodes.

Also "In the Night Garden"
