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

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

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

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.

Iā€™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.

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.

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

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

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.

Also "In the Night Garden"
