Chad had an "accident"
Hi chad
I swear every joke NickMom makes is just "Haha my kids are the devil, I hate them so much. Now, time for some wine."
Dude, I swear, that was literally it. I was a teenager when Nick Mom came out, and I was just as bewildered as I am now, watching it several years later.
I never knew they had these types of dirty stuff, I thought it only had like mom reality shows.
I’m a teen now and I find it crazy
Back then I didn’t know what they were saying bc I was too young to understand
Even my mom hates it
I guess they saw the multitude of men hating their wives, women hating their husband, and dad left to buy milk jokes. And so they thought “ohh clearly mothers must hate their children too!”.
Genuinely unsure if fathers hating their kids jokes are a big thing or something. I know that the man hating their wives jokes tend to outnumber the gender swapped version, so maybe it’s more “acceptable” but I kinda doubt it. I feel like it’s a good way to offend parents, esp those watching a kids channel with their kids.
@@BelBelle468 why would fathers hating their children be a joke... when they can just go out to buy cigarettes/milk?
But yeah... I'm certain we are putting more thought into their material than anybody at NickMom ever did
Nickelodeon making a programming block for moms is like Adult Swim making child-friendly Saturday morning cartoons
Adult swim kind of did it. If you count my adventures with superman. It was going to on Cartoon Network but for some reason they put it on adult swim
Which is ironic because Adult Swim aired old Cartoon Network shows on their network with a block called “Checkered Past”
Samurai Jack Seasons 1-4 aired once.
@Awesome_Dawson_Films_Official oh yeah I forgot about samurai jack
They did air some sat-morn shows at one point. I've heard about how they aired Saved by The Bell for a short time in 2005 or 06
Who even thinks this is funny? I'm a 41 year old woman and this is some of the weakest, laziest, cringiest stuff I've ever seen. This feels like it was created by a bunch of 20-somethings trying to imagine what 30 and 40-something moms find funny, it's like faux boomer humor.
Im sorry I just got whiplash learning a 41 year old watches Chadtronic, like I know its possible but it feels wrong for me.
@PhantomFandoms trust me, it feels weird just being this age. The last 5 years alone flew by like nothing, and I feel like my brain is trying to catch up. Time is weird.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 seeing that people your age watch channels that I do feels comforting, like that we're never too old to enjoy content like this.
@gutsFunnyman I want to say Cursed Commercials is how I came across this channel, and that's something everyone of any age can enjoy. There's something about channels like this, or Brutalmoose or Caddicarus that I just really like. 41 sounds old, but I did grow up in the 90s and I have nostalgia for that era.
40 year old lady here and I agree 100% The jokes are beyond dated/cringe/just not funny.
I love the emphasis on "UNUSED" for the Nick toilet paper auction lol.
You and me both, Peebs !
Glad me and you saw the same thing Peebs~
get old man
It's always a delight to see PeanutButterGamer's comments.
"unused"
i remember having seen this block at one point and like 90% of the "jokes" were "i hate my kids, i hate my stupid husband, i hate being a mom, i miss being young", like how are you gonna make being a mom your personality while not even liking being a parent, that just makes no sense to me lmao
i think even if they had continued the block on its own channel it still wouldn't have made it very long bc it would get old really quickly
We needed gender equality in cringe Boomer Humor I guess.
It’s the type of “dark humor” for ppl who hate their lives and want to laugh at themselves. As if they hadn’t chosen that life themselves. All cuz it’s culturally expected for these ppl to procreate.
On there x account they portrayed kids as annoying brats in these doodles where life is perfect without them they just assumed every mom hates there children which is not true
Watching straight people willing walk into a life they hate and then use bad humor to cope will never not fascinate and horrify me. Like it’s hardly even their fault too
@@Shoulderpads-mcgeeThey don't hate it. It's a joke. They have kids and families because it's what animals were designed to do. It's the most fulfilling thing you can do.
They're just joking and exaggerating the parts that are hard for them. Just because there are hard parts doesn't mean that they hate it or that having a family isn't worth it.
The way you directed this at straight people comes across like a fairly transparent cope. Like you want to invalidate the life that you won't ever get to live because you're not straight, or because you chose to focus on yourself instead if a child/family.
Im so taken aback. This would be shocking if you went to an adult stand-up show "Waking up naked in your car to the police knocking on your door like" "Maam have you been violated?" "oh lord I hope so"
WHAT?!?!?!?! WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?
THIS CHANNEL AIRED WONDER PETS!!!!!!
It's like whoever was running the block didn't get the memo that jokes about that sort of thing aren't funny
I remember wonder pets
@@gracekim25same, I don’t remember it being a nick jr show though, guess it’s just bad memory
EXACTLY! LIKE WTF..
It's not even an interesting kind of shocking, it's hacky.
And their worst idea isn't moving their shows to a lesser watched network for them to die?
Or the "World wide day of play" thing. Where they would not show any shows at all and just put up a thing that said "go play outside." While forgetting that other cartoon channels exist so it didn't work.
@@shwahgamerWhat a 3-hour waste.
@@shwahgamertime for cartoon network lol
@@Thot_Patrol_USA
me irl whenever that annually happened
I mean, Nick News is still a thing and is more active than ever.
The thing is even if a kid's bedtime is before 9, stuff happens that derail routines. Getting sick, having an accident, family related incidents like someone getting hospitalized - all these things can disrupt a child's schedule. So then they turn the TV on for a little comfort to get settled back down, especially if they have a TV in their rooms and get met with "I think I got rear-ended." What a disaster.
Cartoon Network switches to Adult Swim though.
@@mattwolf7698 at least it’s not for pre-schoolers
Yep, now the parent's freaking out because they put on "The crayon song gone wrong" for their kids.... 🤣
Yeah when I was a kid I would frequently stay up till past midnight just to see my mom when she got home from work
@@mattwolf7698cartoon network had a clear schedule and even a warning for children to go away and advertisements for it throughout the day and saying when it would start
They tried to make adult swim but didn't know how adult swim worked with a obvious bumper that says "kids content over" and ease into the more adult content starting with family guy instead of jumping straight to Rick and morty.
No they started with King of the hill lol. Way more tame than family guy. I loved king of the hill as a kid.
"All kids out of the pool!"
That's burned in my memory for life.
@@XWierdThingsHappenX
Yeah uh, Family Guy's arguably even less tame than R&M if ya ask me.
@@ashkitt7719 in dreams i ofton dream of being in a hotel and always want to use the pool but cant becuase of sometimes most random reasons, its kid's swim only, girls swim only. you but none else allowed to get to the pool, its near impossible to get to the pool unless activate lucidty and noclip self there or tp self there.
They started with King of the Hill, not Family Guy. Family Guy is NOT easing in, unless we're talking about their TV-PG syndicated edits.
"I like moms"- Chadtronic 2024
It's not that we like them, but love them.
Who doesn't like moms? o.o
@@repoversemedium I usually only love them when they're creamy.
lol
Don't we all
They had Nick@Nite, why didn't any of these shows air there. Yes most of those shows are PG rated and honestly tame, but A. Nick Jr. is a toddler focused sub brand, B. Babies and Toddlers are up day or night. C. This block started in the evening, when people get home.
Why wasn't this a problem for adult swim.
Their mature rated programs aired at midnight.Before that it was an old animated fox comedy like Futurama and King of the Hill. In fact they still do this now. And even when adultswim extended to start at 5. Kids get 2 hours of old cartoon Network shows.
Just to add to it Adult Swim was happening way before it became a thing. Cartoon Network was always going for variety. We were already getting midnight blocks because of Toonami and had DBZ appearing late at night with an Uncut version. Hell the name Adult Swim itself tells you no kids allowed
@@ufc3459”All kids out of the pool for Adult Swim!”
I think this is just viacom trying to mimic the success of other companies as usual. This is just them creating a nick version of adult swim without knowing what made adult swim work. Adult swim was always buffered by more tame shows, like the first shows they air each night are king of the hill or Futurama, shows that if a kid turned on cartoon Network a bit after their bedtime wouldn't be that big of a deal. These are shows aimed at adults but aren't really that offensive in the grand scheme of things. It wouldn't be until later in the night that they air shows like moral oral or Mr pickles or super jail or metalopocalypse, near or after midnight. Then they switch back to king of the hill early in the morning before cartoon Network comes back on. Toonami also helped since they were mostly shonens in the same time slot. Kids can watch bleach or inuasha or fairy tale and it isn't a problem. Going from blues clues straight to something like the boondocks is such a tonal shift that it's no surprise it failed.
Adult Swim at 4 AM is where the real cool stuff happens. Like a ton of weird art films.
But NIck already had Nick at Nite on regular Nickelodeon. NickMom just felt very redundant.
They thought they could fill a niche but went too hard into the adult content and failing to understand "meme culture" as evidenced by the 11 second videos.
@@TheArceusftw Yeah, but Nick at Nite is moreso just Nickelodeon airing old sitcoms. Meanwhile NickMom made an attempt at including more risqué or [adult swim]-esqe humor into their programming.
@@TheArceusftw I watched the entirely of full house on nite at nite 11-10 years ago.
"Nickelodeon's worst idea ever"
The WORSTEST WORST idea they had was hiring Dan Schneider and keeping him around for years before doing something about it. 👀
Or Chris Savino. Or John K.
I mean not financially, and at the end of the day, that's what matters most to them.
Yes, he was terrible. But he knew his way around a script sheet. And now, that's all that matters.
That’s not even Nickelodeon’s fault. How would they have known the producers they hire are creeps without any evidence revealed at the time?
@@FriskDrinksBrisk Now? It was all that mattered as far back as the 80s at least.
It's sad but not surprising the program made for moms ironically made things harder for moms by accidentally exposing their children to inappropriate content.
I feel like what they were going for was a adult swim type thing but they definitely should’ve made it a separate channel from Nick jr
or moved it to a late spot on Nick at Nite, even if it prolly didn't survive that way either.
One of the big problems is that Nick Jr. didn't have a West Coast feed. So, while the block started at 9pm on the East Coast, it started at 6 pm on the West Coast. Meaning that plenty of kids would still be watching the channel before their bedtimes.
Nickmom was such a weird occurrence for the channel, and how many kids also saw this blows my mind how this went on air.
So um how late was it for children to even see this?😅
@gracekim25 Morbid curiosity
10PM-2AM. Originally, it was that time ONLY on the East Coast (so California would have it 7-11PM, and you can figure out other time zones based on that) but towards the end of its existence, they did have a West and East feed, so that worked out. I remember seeing this from 2014-15, when I was 10/11. (I had a different type of childhood that wasn't as "deep" as other kids' childhood was during the 2010s, so I basically watched Nick Jr until 2016, around 12 years old, even though most kids of that age would watch regular Nickelodeon or TeenNick, and I didn't have as great of a childhood as I wished for, I wasn't really "allowed" to be a kid 😭) I'm 20 now, and I vividly remember this. For a kid, 10PM is really late, but now that I'm an adult, 10PM is late to me but not CRAZY late (I would say that would be 1-5AM as a 20 year old), but why this didn't get its own channel is beyond me. This channel was boomers trying to understand Millenials/Gen X, and it failed MISERABLY!
The joke about wanting to be violated genuinely made my jaw drop. In what world would any of this be okay???
Uh yeah, that joke certainly did NOT age well!!
[adult swim] > NickMom
Well duh
NickMom might've actually been a good Adult Swim block if they'd played up the sarcasm and irony, maybe make it a behind-the-scenes dry humor comedy of the standup comedians making cringe jokes on stage
@@flannelpillowcase6475[as] is goated
[adult swim] < NickMom
I love how you can basically type out [adult swim]'s logo
That interview where the mother recounted her daughter asking her what an org*sm was activated my fight or flight response
I genuinely almost spat out my food in shock. XD I felt for that mother.
_....oh dear Lord...._
and she's prolly teen/adult at this point given how long ago this was and now def knows what that is. I'm almost 21 and feel like an old woman already
My parents would be like “you’ll find out when you’re older” lol
I know Cartoon Network has Adult Swim, and I grew up watching things past my bedtime. But at least AS started with the more tame shows first, and they had a CLEAR DISTINCTION that it was not gonna be suitable for kids. With a name like Nick Moms, I pictured something like programs that mothers could watch with their kids or maybe older shows that they grew up with. Not some mediocre stand up routines about getting knocked up in a car and doing drugs. Everyone raises their children differently, but this is just kind of a disaster.
Ah this takes me back. This was the most confusing programming block that Nickelodeon has ever made, as they could’ve worded it better as an adult programming block, not just for your mom.
I think a big issue is that they assumed every child is your normal student. Not every child was in bed by 9. Like that one woman’s example of her child being home sick from school and watching tv in the evening after sleeping all day. I was homeschooled and was practically nocturnal as my mother worked the night shift. We’d wake up in the evening when she did and we’d do our school work while she was working her shift and we’d all go to bed around the same time just before sunrise. Then on her days off, she was still on her night shift sleep schedule so we’d stay up with her and play video games and such.
Embarrassing-Memory Fact: I used to binge watch Nickmom a lot at Night when I was a 3-4 year old (Most of the time, WITH MY MOM - Side-note: She was one of the many moms at the time who hated the block as well), and even that young, I was like “What the fuck is this”
Also, I’m pretty sure for some of us “Born in the Late-2000s, but Grew Up in the Early-2010s” kids reading this, Nickmom was our first exposure to Cringe Content. And I’m sure that like myself, that would be something we would deeply regret in all those years, even after the block’s closure.
Whoever approved this must've hated joy.
This literally came on TV right after a kids show without any warning and it said gross things. Not like 3 seconds after a kid show ended, this sh*t happened.
God, I remember seeing a glimpse of that crap…
The fact that this was on the same channel as nick Jr is crazy (this was around the time I was watching nick Jr a lot too) the only show I remember was instant mom though lol
Edit: No wonder I watched sprout or dvds when I was going to bed lol
Ok seriously they cant use the argument of "oh kids are asleep after 9" if the name is nick mom and the channel its on is dedicated to PRE SCHOOL KIDS.
Mom's who have Nick Jr running on the TV were usually soccer moms. They aren't known for liking toilet humor, and are also known for letting the TV play babysitter. Nick's CEOs should've known that if they were trying to cater to this demographic.
But if the block is NickMom why would you assume it's for children and not, you know, moms? The NickJr block on regular Nickelodeon was obviously aimed at small children based on the name.
Would it make more sense for them to just air a test pattern from like 8 pm to 5 am?
Nickelodeon used to be for kids, now they just cater to whomever they can get to watch it...
@@FrenkTheJoy If it's a block of programming on a channel primarily focused on shows for young children, why would anyone assume it's going to be full of lowbrow potty humor? If I saw a program block called NickMom on a channel called Nick Jr., I would assume it was something more educational, like tips for parents of young children or something like the old Nick at Nite with PG-rated sitcoms for the parents to decompress from all of the kiddie shows, not middle aged single moms talking about their pussies and being sexual predators. That's something more suited for Comedy Central or MTV's late night programming, not a channel for preschool children.
@@UltimateGamerCC I mean, this was a phase they went with on the start of the 2000s, up until 2007...!
Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, & even drama shows were leaning into this.
Being sick and seeing nickmom at two in the morning was a vivid memory I had. I'm glad it wasn't just a fever dream and other people experienced it
Believe it or not, i actually saw the Nickmom block, & remember all of these bumpers, lol.
@@brandonpage7087 Me too - I'm 20, and I was 10-11 back then!
6:20
did they miss the part where the kid was sick and had been napping all day? It makes total sense for then to be up later.
Also, it's not their kid, so it's none of their business.
Yeah I agree but couldn’t you have put on a different channel or put on Netflix/CZcams on right after?
This might’ve been before streaming and smart TVs. And if there were no warnings or anything like a spot in the commercial break advertising the NickMom block, the mom may not have known about the change.
@@larsatticus6807 I just assumed it was after since those nick mom videos in the beginning seem pretty recent and they’re still pushing for that website. And chad did show the website doesn’t lead to it. But nick mom was a thing at least when I was a kid but it was more from like 2-4 am type thing
They may have also just had occasional insomnia for no reason as well (unless that's just me with my lifelong insomnia, of course). I remember how I would occasionally (like at least once a month or so) wake up super early and watch reruns of older Disney Channel and Nick Jr shows throughout my childhood.
"It's not their kid, so it's none of their business." could also be used as an argument for NickMom hypothetically. If you post a public comment about your kid you're going to elicit comments no matter what unfortunately.
I think I actually remember seeing commercials for this lol, but when I was a kid I thought it was more of like, an informational programming block, like Food Network. Disney Junior used to have their "Night Light" block where they'd have some interstitial shorts like a mini-cooking show that parents would more enjoy, I thought it was along those lines. Good thing we only had access to Nick Jr. at my grandma's house at the time, because I totally would have stayed up to watch this out of curiosity lmao
Bad news from hot guys is kind of funny to me, because it’s slightly reminiscent of the dumb stuff that used to be on Nickelodeon
It reminds me of something that would be on their skit focused shows
@@chadtronicI could see it on all that! Or something.
That's what I was thinking, I could see it being part of like The Amanda Show or something lol
Lmao, yeah, those bumpers were like the Manswers for women!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Seems like something they’d do on iCarly lol
Kids should be in bed by 9:00pm.
Okay, but how many of you were allowed to fall asleep while watching t.v.?
I'm sure some parents didn't allow it, but I was a "nervous" child and trying to fall asleep in a dark, quiet room would often make me scared. To be fair, I wasn't allowed to watch any channels, I would fall asleep to one of my cartoon DVDs. But, I mean, I could see some kids being put to bed at 9:00 while watching Nickelodeon. Not to "split hairs," but is 9:00 really that late? and who was this for? did Mom's tune into Nickelodeon at 9:00 to unwind?? idk, maybe I'm wrong, but this didn't just seem irresponsible, it seemed like an idea to establish a late night audience that wasn't thought through and just went wrong.
think also point out the post said, the kid was sick, nap all day, you expect the kid to not be tired, its normal sleep all day now you been out long time up at night. lot of sick kids can end up being up all night, watching something, tv or whatever to get them to settle for night or when they dont feel good and cant sleep at night. think the comment against it was unreasonable. as if they never had a sick kid before. its incredibly hard to sleep at night when you're sick. i would imagine a kids ch being up handing a sick child and that came on she did change it.
@@lotrhpnmask
Yep, good point. 👍
How come you weren't allowed to watch any TV channels at all growing up?
9pm? That's pretty early. When I was in elementary school, my bedtime was 10:30pm.
I can see what they were going for. Soccer moms have Nick Jr on the screen all day and send their kids to sleep and then this block comes up and they watch some mediocre shows while they drink wine. But the problem is... they sorely underestimated kids and them constantly staying up all the time. The fact that moms are complaining about this proves it. You have a show where comedians is joking about their genitals and getting knocked up. Just have Nick Jr in heavy rotation. If you want Nick Adult Swim just make a whole new channel. Viacom can definitely afford making a new network.
I mean...Comedy Central exists.
I remember being very young, listening to a Richard Pryor record, and having to ask my mother what 'coming' meant. This reminds me of that.
When NickMom initially started airing, a major problem they had was the Nick Jr channel at the time had just one feed, the East Coast feed. That meant for those living in California or Hawaii, then NickMom's programming started MUCH earlier! This was the same problem Noggin had when it shared the channel with the teen block The N until The N became its own channel with TEENick content in 2007 and then it became TeenNick in 2009. This issue with Nick Jr having a single East Coast feed was rectified in 2013 but of course, that wasn't enough to save the block. I think the reason they chose to put the block on Nick Jr was to save money from having to create another channel slot for it, but if they created another channel for it, NickMom probably would've lasted longer. Or instead created a mini-block for NickMom within the NickAtNite block on Nickelodeon. When Noggin ended for the day, they gave parents and children plenty of time to turn off the channel with Moose A Moose singing a goodnight song and a 60-second countdown clock to The N.
Another Nick thing that no longer exists is Nick GaS or Nick Games and Sports for Kids. The channel launched in 1999 and this was where Nick decided to dump all of its classic game shows once they were removed from the main network. It also produced its own original programming, such as Play to Z, Gamefarm and Splash TV. From October 2005 onwards, the network's programming was fully automated, putting seven shows on a permanent timeslot (GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure It Out, Get the Picture, Double Dare 2000, Nick Arcade and Finders Keepers) and regular segments. In September 2006, Finders Keepers was removed from the network, leaving only six shows on the channel in its last years. On August 13, 2007, Viacom announced that it would shut down and replaced by The N. For most providers, the channel shut on December 31st of that year but for Dish Network, it continued as an automated loop for 15 more months and finally replaced in April 2009 by the Pacific feed of Cartoon Network.
@AverytheCubanAmerican, ah, man, do i ever miss the N block of programming!! I wasn't exactly their target demographic, as i was in my 20s at the time, lol, but man did they ever have some damn good programming on that block!! The N made me a huge Degrassi fan! Once the N ended, & became TeeNick, i stopped watching, as most of my fave N shows had all been cancelled, except Degrassi, but it was no longer as good, as it had been before. Man, that was the end of an era!
Nick Moms feels like rejected jokes intended for hallmark cards or those cocktail napkins.
Wasn't nick@nite already reaching that adult demo with classic tv? Oh this is on the Nick Jr channel? Why TF is this a thing?
Don't forget TVLand that started out airing old shows, and retro commericals to get the 50's/60's boomers, and then before Betty White died tried a failed sitcom with her, now it's just reruns of Mike & Molly, Bonanza, and Everybody Loves Raymond as Paramount doesn't know what to do with it anymore as it's almost a dead channel.
@@CommodoreFan64I remember when Estelle Getty died and TV land did a whole day honoring her and showing Golden Girls reruns.
@@silverhammerman7489 Yep I remember that, as I have to admit for the past 2 decades I've worked for a local nonprofit that does various seniors programs, and I run a senior center in my small town, and I'm stuck watching a lot of these old channels/shows, which is part of why I still pay for CZcams TV besides sports, as that's what my clients like for me to put on the TV(although many of the old shows do hold up).
MeTV and Antenna TV are better channels for classic shows.
@@melissayoung7270 Agreed, it's too bad that CZcams TV does not have MeTV in their channel lineup, as I would love to watch it on my phone, tablet, or laptop when traveling, as I don't want to pay for Friendly TV to do it as many of those channels are on other free services, but I always make sure to set my external ATSC 1.0 tuner box to record Svengoolie when I'm not going to be home, and it's a new episode.
The funny part is that this easily could've worked if they made NickMom the first couple hours of Nick @ Nite on the main channel. Putting this on a channel dedicated solely to little kids is just bizarre
As it started in 2012, this just screams someone at Nickelodeon was a big Amy Schumer and Bridesmaids fan and saw this as the future of female entertainment, while insisting to executives "Millennial Moms need a voice!"... and this was their idea.
Although taking inspiration from the 2010's CollegeHumor style of CZcams content, "Bad News from Hot Guys" seems relevant for today's TikTok/Short Content generation with accounts like Donut Daddy who cater towards an older female demographic who want to see Hot Guy doing something (sometimes) relevant to them.
Imagine being a Milla Jovovich fan...
Yeah, & everything on Nickmom was as cringeworthy as anything from Amy Schumer, & Bridesmaids, lmao!!!
@@brandonpage7087 I’m surprised they didn’t hire Milla Jovovich…
Gotta give it to them though, they managed to make we got Amy Schumer at home
Alternative Title: Parents Upset Over Nick Mom… and they had every right to!
I bet that happened to Nick's main-channel...which had no effect what-so-ever...
I got rear ended once too, the idiot behind me was so distracted that he did not see the red traffic light which smashed my hatchback's bumper against his SUV, thankfully he payed for the damages so no harm done.
This guy is 🗿🍷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wouldn’t the idea of cashing in on the nostalgia of those moms with Clarissa Explains It All or even just old NickToons probably work way better than this?
They did have the NickRewind block but that was on TeenNick
Actually...an updated version of Clarissa Explains it All would be cool, like where she's grown up and has her own kids. But instead of narrating her teenage experience, it would be her narrating her own experience of being a mom to kids that are different from her younger self. At least that would be relatable for Millenial moms who grew up with the original show
4:45 Us viewers yearn for yo Gabba Gabba and other obscure children's shows collectable card openings, Chad.
My reaction to seeing commercials for NickMom at the time was simply: "Why?"
Oh, same.
In my country they just have a looping animation of a child's bedroom with living toys helping each other fall asleep on those hours
For the people comparing this to Adult Swim, not only is the age gap between CN and AS’ audience far smaller compared to Nickmom and Jr, but also Adult Swim usually starts off with tamer shows like King Of The Hill or Bob’s Burgers before getting into the TV-MA stuff.
As someone who spent more time than usual in children's hospitals, the fact that NickMom was on the Nick Jr. at all is equal parts funny and horrifying. The hospitals like to put one channel on for literal eternity, usually ones for preschoolers
Nick Mom was a meant to be for mothers who after putting their child to sleep need some TV time for themselves. The problem with that is kids will literally watch TV whenever, even if it’s the middle of the night and they can’t sleep. It was one of Nickelodeon’s biggest mistakes.
The joke is that it's a "hot guy" telling you bad news so I guess it's more palatable. Because you know, moms love young hot men or whatever... so cringeworthy
That trope is just creepy in general too. If the jokes were about dads obsessing over women 20 years younger than them imagine how much more backlash this would get.
Moms also love bad news, just can't fall asleep without some existential dread to fill my dreams with.
@@zabbee2323dads do obsess over women 20 years younger than them and nobody bats an eye. People just call that "being a man". Men always want younger women.
And what NickMom tried to do was the reason why Adult Swim continued to reign supreme.
You're saying they aired this schlop back in 2013? I could've sworn I was watching Nick back then and I remembered NOTHING of Nick Mom.
It was apparently on NickJr, which makes it worse ngl, so if you were watching regular Nickelodeon and not the preschool version, it's entirely likely you missed it completely.
I always wanted to do a video like this on this exact topic but never found the time to, thanks Chadtronic for giving this block the exposure it rightfully deserves
Wait qubo guy? OMG ITS QUBO GUY! YAY QUBO GUY!
I was about to say "whats the big deal, Nick shows Nick@Nite" when I realized this aired on Nick Jr?!! Huh???
I remember this too…it was on Nick & that’s basically what started the downfall of the channel
Fun fact, the channel space that Nick Jr/Mom aired on once had Noggin, which was essentially just Nick Jr on steroids, and it had a teen oriented block called the N which bore some uncanny similarities, in that it was also not very friendly for the Blues Clues demographic. But what they did was have two sign off messages to clearly hammer in that kids should leave to leave. First, the mascots (Moose and Zee) would sing a goodbye song, and then a more ominous message would appear afterwards with a countdown timer for the parents. Maybe NickMom would have been less controversial if they did a similar tactic.
Crazy to think that some of the kids watching Nick Jr. at the time are in college now
I remember that they had this block years ago!! during the night, they would air unfunny/uninteresting adult content on Nick Jr. after they did a sign off till 1am in the morning… I remember being so confused 😭 I honestly thought it was a fever dream.
I remember seeing one of the shows on this block being called "(Insert name) Must die" and IIRC they had promos for it in the same style as they did for the Nick Jr shows on the network. They really had the same woman saying "And it's followed by a brand new episode of X must die!" in the exact same tone of voice as she would advertise the Nick JR cartoons in promos
That sounds like a creepy pasta. LOL.
@@themuttonqueen1076 It really does since I am unable to find a trace of that show lol
@@LightningE-iy8fr Lost media?
@@therichard27It might be. I looked at a list of programming on Nickmom and there were none involving "Must die" in the title. I swear it was a thing though
now we need nickdad (joke)
Yeah, sharing the timeslot as Nicktoons. /j
Nickdad would be footage of fathers getting the milk and never coming back /j
A nickdad joke would be nice
It will be nothing but dad jokes.
And would be better than Nick Mom.
We kinda got NickSr.
I always wondered what Nickmom was. Used to be disappointed when they switched from Nick Jr when i was 4
They tried to do an adult swim lmao
Even the Nick mom commercial had a foot in it. Wild.
Nickelodeon missed the point of why Adult Swim and Nick@Nite worked as adult programming blocks when they created NickMom. Both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon's demographic is mostly older children, while Adult Swim and Nick@Nite's demographics are teenagers and adults. Nick Jr has a preschool demographic, and NickMom has an adult demographic, so that's a huge gap for demographics right there. Also, with Adult Swim when they start they usually start with something mild and TV-PG like King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers most recently, it starts with Old Cartoon Network shows with the Checkered Past block and gets to the more mature stuff late at night. It also has multiple warnings and effectively discourage young kids from watching. Also Adult Swim nor Nick@Nite had the same kids are annoying joke every seconds and they both have a lineup of great shows. NickMom, doesn't it talks about how kids are the worst or something like that. A block that did work was The N now known as TeenNick it was on Noggin from 6PM to 6AM with shows with mild cursing and adult humor at times but nothing to bad and was usually TV-14 at most. But it didn't make fun of children constantly and again the demographics were not far off. Noggin for preschoolers and The N for teenagers. NickMom also has such vulgar stuff on there that it should not have been on Nick Jr at all. They could have just aired those shows on Comdey Central instead it is already meant for adults
Wait what since when has this been a thing. Nick mom
2012-2015
I was 3 when it aired and I was 6 when it ended
This was on the Nick Jr. CHANNEL. So regular Nick was still running Nick at Night at 9PM, which they keep wholesome because they know it's popular with older kids, but somehow cognitive dissonance that only moms are going to be watching NickJr at 9PM.?
You know, normally I’m against moral panics, but this time, I kinda get it. It was supposed to be made for moms, and moms didn’t like it
There's a reason Cartoon Network han an adult oriented programming block air after programming geared towards older kids, and even then the first couple of hours would broadcast TV friendly shows, typically rated TV14.
The worst part is the block was on Nick Jr. Which is an educational channel. This was the nail of the coffin for the network after their unexpected removal of Moose and Zee
The slime ketchup they made once?
"that's just a person saying something that doesn't mean anything" my existence summarized
anyone notice that one of the pieces of toilet paper only said studios while the rest of it said nickelodeon studios?
Considering the Quiet On Set documentary that came out recently, this block certainly aged like room-temperature milk 👁👁💧
I remember when nick moms was first announced. I was tiny and the last Nick Jr message before it came on was, “That’s all for today, goodnight!” or something like that. And an preview for nick moms came on and I think I just switched the channel to Disney Jr or my Mom turned the TV off and tucked me in bed
I thought this was from like 2009 but wow the fact that it’s from 2013 makes it worse
How would that be?
You mean how is this from 2009? well the 4:3 screen just made me think that this is from 2009
Who else watching in 2019?
Sorry bro, I'm watching in 2042, can't relate
Nah bruv I’m watching in 1986.
Its 2024 you dumb bot
Watching this in 2016 bub
I’m watching in 1986
I remember being a baby crying and seeing Nick Jr. turning into Nick Mom.
I distinctly remember when this broadcast aired because I was at the prime age for the NickJr audience.
The cartoons would shut off and the moms started talking about stuff I had no idea about. I tried convincing my own mom to watch the show ‘cause little me assumed she’d like it. But obviously since she’s a conscious adult, she never watched the show with me.
Over 10 years later I finally found out what they were talking about and Jesus Christ how did they allow this? At least [adult swim] eased in their more tame shows (i.e. King of the Hill) when switching from Cartoon Network. But NickMom is like if CN played Teen Titans Go, then Rick and Morty began playing with no signature [as] interruption.
And I know little kids are meant to be asleep by around 9pm, I for sure knew ‘cause that was my bedtime until I was 14 when quarantine hit. But some parents are a little more lenient and may allow their kids an hour extra before bed. One minute you’d be watching 4 teenagers managing a band while drinking smoothies, then moms start talking about being violated.
We lost 'The N' for them to put this crap up later.
Seeing Quiet on set makes this make alot more sense…
It's still not as bad an idea as hiring Brian Peck.
NickDad already exists. It’s called the PlayBoy channel.
The NickMom thing is unique in terms of the stereotypical “parents complain about kids seeing something that they shouldn’t be putting on for their kids in the first place” in that the thing they’re complaining about is literally marketing directly to them lmao
This is the type of stuff Nick needs to be sued for. Young kids being exposed to adult humor is NOT something they should see on a program made for young kids! It is absolutely ridiculous, one of the worst decisions ever made. I hope that Nickmom gets taken down right away.
It's been gone for almost 10 years, it's long gone... And yes, I agree with you!
I've never been so happy to see a sponsorship in the middle of the video. I needed a break
I’ve never heard of this before…! Finally! A place to get my LOL’s!
I feel like it migthve lived longer on actual Nick at Nite than Nick Jr. like even if its a time capsule of bad jokes and stereotypes, I feel like putting it on Nick Jr was the worst mistake they have done. While maybe it wouldn't have lived long on the sister block, it's better than nothing.
“And I like moms” 💀
“Nick mom from 9am-2pm has some doing this” *cuts to genshin impact ad with someone jumping off a bridge into water*
Seems like something that should’ve been original content for Nick at night but they didn’t want to remove the older shows they had for Nick at night? Very weird.
On one hand I feel like the "this should be on a channel separate from kids content" could also be made with Adult Swim, but on the other hand at least the AS block starts with tamer shows like King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers. But I really don’t know tbh
They also had a lot of those bumpers in the commercials to warn the audience that Adult Swim had started.
Around this time there was this 'trend' (If you can call it that) where it was comedy made for moms that sold itself as "We can be as gross & edgy as male comedy!" but never pushed the edge for fear of offending.
DIS AINT YO MOMMA'S MOM!!!
I think I’ve might of seen Nick Mom without realizing it. I specifically remember seeing this scene (8:56) and made me curious of the function of display toilets when I was little.
that hot guy isn't even that hot smh
I think I got rear ended when I watched this video
This just unlocked a few repressed memories from 2014 that I don't know if I like remembering.
(The weirdest memory was some sitcom episode about a woman being pregnant with an owl... idk I was like 6.)
The Nickmom video at near a million views tells me they ran it as an ad on CZcams. That many views with that little engagement on any other part of the channel is a pretty clear giveaway
this is like Cartoon Network suddenly putting Bill Burr or Patrice O'Neal sets after 8PM
I remember this. I remember at some point my mom wouldn't let me watch Nick after it got dark, but I didn't learn why until way later.
When I was younger, at night time Nickelodeon turned into a channel called “The N” that I wasn’t allowed to watch.
Edit: It was actually on the Noggin channel
really this just makes me think of adult swim and how sometimes i would wake up in the middle of the night or stay up late and catch it on cartoon network. definitely heard a lot of things i shouldnt have on shows like robot chicken... but i do look back on it fondly, though my mother might not.
The difference between AS and NickMom is that at least AS starts out with tamer shows (and it has much better content too).
Edit: And the age demographic gap was much smaller between CN and AS.
@@NewSonyWonderHappyMadisonFan yeah i def get where youre coming from. id pick adult swim over this any day lol
The best part of the pooping in public is the get the car comment
Funny that I actually remember this only because I had a little sister who grew up on Nick Jr back when they had Bubble Guppies, Team Umizoomi… I remember for New Years ‘14, they took a random ball drop from some year (not even in the 2010s) and pasted 14 over the original numbers in pink text
