fun fact about teletubbies, one of the characters was accused of being a homosexual stereotype because he carried a purse.
That, I believe was Tinky-Winky.
I have no idea how I can respond to that.
Isn't it trans-support?
@@toadtv4389 Technically yes, but it was the Conservative crowd were offended because it depicted what they perceived as a gay character.
@@julieporter7805 Imagine getting offended over a bag.
The one memorable thing about Arthurâs big hit was the Fist Meme that came out of it.
Lol
Arthur: I told you NOT TO MEME IT!!!
People: Exactly! So we gonna do it! And this is nothing compared to what D.W. did!
Arthur: AAAUGHGHH!!!
i ToLd yOu noT tO TouCh IT!
@@sophiebubbles07 YoU BuILT It AlL WrOng!
Arthur memes are amazing
Silent treatment tropes bother me, mostly because theyâre proven to be psychologically, mentally, emotionally, and even physically manipulative and damaging, not to mention the fact that it does nothing to repair the relationship.
(For clarity the silent treatment is different from not talking to an abusive or toxic person or taking a few minutes away from someone whoâs angered you before going back and working things out). Youâre basically forcing a person to beg for forgiveness and whatever they can do to get back in your favor, even if they donât know what they did wrong.
Shows use this as an effective way to make people apologize shouldnât, especially to children who may see it and use it instead of talking out their problems.
Edit: Two things, one being that i would like to apologize for forgetting to list my source, Psyc2Goâs video â6 Ways the Silent Treatment is Harmfulâ and second thank you Strider!
Well said
This guy definetly deserves credit for typing all that, I'm really proud of this guy.
Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking :)
Iâve always hated the silent treatment.
It speaks volumes of the person using it more than it does the guilty party in question.
Communication is key and it is vital to calmly and rationally talk out your issues rather than resort to childish behaviors such as passive aggressiveness.
Folks with NPD use this a lot just to gain control over other people emotionally.
Best to avoid those kind of people.
It's especially cruel to inflict on autistic people, young people, and others who genuinely don't know what they did wrong and can't magically read minds or "read the room."
The sad part is, with a few minor changes, "Caillou Goes to the Circus" would be an acceptable episode:
For starters, instead of Caillou simply getting the day wrong, have the circus be cancelled altogether, so the audience has a _real_ reason to sympathize with him. Secondly, instead of bawling and throwing a fit, have Caillou be depressed and/or bored for about half the day so the audience would find him more relatable and will sympathize with him more, before getting into the main "circus at home" part of the episode.
Please reply if you think the episode needs any more changes.
That would make Caillou so much more tolerable.
Your idea works!
That or have the parents finally beat the hell out of caillou for his wrong doings
I really like your idea dude. Seriously, you could easily write way better books than the original Caillou books (not that they are any good to begin with, tho)
Two more things I would change isâŠ
1. I would make them cheer him up by decorating the house like a circus
2. NOT MAKE THE TOOTHPASTE LOOK LIKE A PINK BUBBLE BEARD

The sad part is that DW probably adds a certain realism and relatability to the show (is it intended? idk...). You do get families irl where one kid just weirdly gets a pass for most everything for some reason.
That was certainly true in my family! I don't know if it's intentional either though.
Very true, the dw big hit episode hit very close to home for me. Happened to many times wit me and my brother
@@mileshayter7440 for real sometimes siblings just push you too far and eventually you snap
Yeah it's that sibling that tests all of our potential underlying psychopathic tendencies by pushing us to the point where we must ponder werther or not we would still strangle them to death if no one was looking, every once in a while
and thankfully no normal person does :))
Just cause itâs sometimes realistic doesnât make it a good lesson and honestly it just encourages spoiled behavior. (And this is coming from a younger sibling)
I'm sorry but I just cant see an episode of Sesame Street where Alexander Hamilton tries to sell real estate to Big Bird though rap as being bad.
I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE WAS GOING TO MENTION THIS XD
I thought the rapping was ok as he described the variety of creatures in the Rainforest
I could write a full musical with that concept
Yeah I was gonna say, I was surprised that Lin Manuel Miranda was in such a low rated episode. The pushy real estate agent is probably something thrown in for adults watching
It wouldn't be the first time someone convinced Big Bird to leave home. Remember "Follow That Bird"?

The reason people hate Edward Strikes Out so much is because Edward is completely out of character. Gordon being rude is fine since it's part of his character, but Edward is a kind, wise, old engine. Seeing him act like James is baffling and a spit in the face to his character. Henry would've be a much better choice instead of Edward since he's a bit aggorant himself.
It shouldâve been James or Gordon in the episode
@@lilnike2 They could've worked too
For real though, PBS has to be one of the least problematic channels to date, even if they are sometimes under the radar nowadays to companies like Disney and Nickelodeon. I remember PBS the fondest.
At least they aren't like modern Disney and Nickelodeon. **shudders**
For a channel that relies on public funding for their existence, they've done a fantastic job on helping to shape multiple generations. I still remember growing up on sesame street, Arthur and between the lions, and the first book I ever learned how to read on my own was a Thomas the Tank Engine book that I still hold onto for any future children of my own.
Most PBS shows other than Caillou is 99% great for little children and families. I tend to prefer it to Nick Jr and Disney Junior. I just wish Parents can parent instead of letting their kids be unsupervised on CZcams âkidsâ videos. I know that most adults probably arenât into these shows mostly targeted to young kids. However I would 100% rather have a kid that learns and be loving than not trying to parent and end up like Caillou.
Some of my all time favorite shows are from PBS.

As an Arthur fan, So funny I Forgot to Laugh hurt me because of how uncharacteristic Arthur acted
I agree. It's really not like Arthur to just bully someone, the way it's done here was so incredibly out of the blue. Arthur is normally one of the nicest characters in the series, so what the heck happened?
Yeah and it wasnât good
DW , doing this , I understand but Arthur
Liked arthur and the magic school bus but i feel i will get annoyed at them if i come back and watch them now
Yeah I donât like this episode, and the episode when Francine got Nemo cause Arthur was just rude to Francine about cats
I donât laugh out loud much but âCalling it a drug trip is an insult to drug tripsâ killed me
*Laughs out loud*
Iâm sorry you died buddy
7:18 fun fact: originally James was supposed to be the protagonist of the episode,but for some reason he's model was not present so instead they used blue Jesus
Blue Jesusđđ
Blue Jesus
I'm sorry, but every time Elmo screams "ClOwNsSsSsSsSsSsssSSSSS!" I can't stop laughing my ass off.
@King 150 lol true
Same here! I laughed as well!
Hail to good clowns! đŠŸđ€Ąđ
That also made me laugh to even tho I only liked Elmo's world when I was young
I made have found the episode weird, but that was the best part.
I think the Arthur episode could've been good if it was framed with an anti-bullying message. Like maybe Arthur's friends all make jokes about her, then learn that they're being bullies, so they all make a heartfelt apology to her
The episode "Draw" handled that back in Season 2.
Or maybe Arthur only made the one joke and caused the girl to feel self conscious about wearing the sweater, and her friends find out and all wear similar looking sweaters to cheer her up.
We gotta make that happen! Someday, PBS could remake âArthurâs Big Hitâ like this!
I remember seeing "Arthur's Big Hit" as a kid and, yeah, I just felt sorry for Arthur the whole time. Like, I get the moral they meant to convey and I don't condone resorting to violence unless necessary for self-defense, but they went so over the top making DW an unapologetic little brat that I seriously can't blame Arthur for losing it. And then instead of the whole story being taken into consideration and both kids getting reprimanded/punished accordingly, everyone completely invalidates Arthur's side and acts like he just went over and punched DW for no reason.
And _then_ when Binky actually _does_ go and punch Arthur for basically no reason, his parents are all like "Well, that's what you get. Now that you know how it feels, go apologize to your sister." Umm, what now??? So when Arthur hits DW, he's in the wrong and gets punished, but when Binky hits Arthur, it's acceptable because justice?
Aaaand to top it off, if memory serves, there's never any mention of Binky being punished; he just feels bad and apologizes his own. The writers go out of their way to emphasize that punching your sibling when they harass the crap out of you and break your stuff is wrong, but not that giving in to peer pressure and punching someone who's minding their own business might also be -- at the _very_ least -- equally bad?
The âsheep dogâ joke is also serious racism in the context of the show since theyâre all animals đŹ
gosh now i imagine the episdoe but instead of sheep dog it's the n word
Yah it is
Oh sheesh I didn't think about that but you're right.

@@quanashiab.9620 Plus it's a markiplier reference
the episode is from 1997
I suppose the "I Forgot to Laugh" episode of Arthur was meant to show how an innocent joke can be taken too far. I'm assume the coat was supposed to be fuzzy, like a sheep dog, & that Arthur didn't realize he was being a bully because everyone laughed at first. The silent treatment bit was probably meant to show kids' that they'd loose all their friends if they played cruel jokes.
Not saying the episode was good or bad, just that I can understand what the writers were trying to do.
They should not have used Arthur tho
Hearing it felt iffy because like... Aren't there dogs who are like actually people? It sounds like some kind of... Maybe racism?

@@vacuumblink2300 totally.
@@byakuyatogami2905 In Arthur, Binky is a dog (I think).
The worst part about "So Funny I Forgot to Laugh" is Sue Ellen.
She is tough and assertive. Literally one of the first episodes of the show is about her not standing up to Binky's bullying. Yet in this episode she is a pushover and actually attempts to SWITCH CLASSES because of how mean Arthur is being. Arthur and Sue Ellen are amazing friends, and it makes no sense that she would feel that bad about the joke. If this was realistic, Sue Ellen would've tried to resolve it with Arthur more. She had that one confrontation after the locker incident, but from that point onward, she only talked to Mr. Ratburn.
And of course, Arthur was insufferable in this episode as well.
Bad writing.
The worst Arthur episodes were the later ones when Kate, Pal, Amigo, Killer & Mae Lyn were able to communicate between each other. It made no sense, as Arthur was a show for older kids..
â@@marcstevens8576It's not that big of a deal

Actually I searched for it on CZcams and I think it was just the actors messing around, but it's still weird
I found it. It was an outtake, Barney was messing around.
Honestly that Arthur episode pissed me off they handled the subject matter of bullying and harassment in a very wrong way
I know, right? The episode with Molly did it way better. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the episode.
I havenât seen it outside this video, but based on what Strider showed, it really seems like Arthur was extremely cruel. The kind of person who would do that would not be someone you could just make up with at the end of the episode. You have to be malicious to keep harassing someone like that.
Also, as an autistic person, not being explicitly told what someone is doing wrong is one of the worst social habits I keep seeing. Itâs caused me so much trouble, and thereâs no logic to it. If a person isnât getting something, continuing to give them subtle hints just because you think they should get it doesnât mean they will get it.

There was actually a Betty Boop cartoon with a plot similar to this. Except in that cartoon, they couldnât go to the circus because it was raining. Also, while I donât condone children throwing tantrums, the way they illustrated the child breaking down into tears in that cartoon actually kinda made me feel bad for him.
Thatâs sad when a cartoon made over 50 years prior is better for kids than one that was actually made during our lifetime!

That's so true.
Funny enough, the actor that played the real estate agent is Lin-Manuel Miranda of Broadway and Disney acclaim.
Before he became a Broadway star he actually worked as a English teacher in New York and a writer for Sesame Street for several years.
He played various minor characters and even appeared on multiple anniversary specials

I was thinking the same thing and came to the comments to see if anyone would mention it. Since I only knew him from Hamilton and I didn't watch it, I couldn't say with 100% certainty that it was him. I could only go base off of my memory of how he looked like (I haven't seen him in any form of media for months) and his voice. So I'm glad I found your comment to confirm it WAS him đ

But donât get me wrong, I really like Caillou from my childhood. As itâs actually not meant to be about Caillou being a brat, but using his imagination to go on adventures or exploring the world around him. But they oddly focus on him throwing temper tantrums and overall being toxic way too much. But *THIS!* *THIS* is way too far!
Man this is why Canada always say sorry
The Christmas series was nice though. It's just a few of the Caillou episodes are abysmal.

A more clever writer would have had Arthurâs letter of apology be at least somewhat sincere, and then have someone else send her this insensitive sheepdog picture. Naturally, she would think it was Arthur, and (now that heâs seeing it as an outsider looking in) Arthur finally understands the insensitivity of his joke and sets out to find the new culprit.
Last we heard, Caillou got pulled off PBS's lineup.
And then... Cartoon Network rolled out their own Kids subsection. And then we sensed a disturbance, one not felt since 2019-ish.
There's a few things that always pissed me off about Arthur's Big Hit as a kid.
1. Arthur got punished for hitting DW twice in the episode. Once from his parents, & then the second time from Binky punching him. It comes off as if the show thinks he deserved to get punched because he hit his sister.
2. His parents try to lecture him about how he should feel empathetic towards DW because now he knows what it's like to get punched. Even though he didn't do anything wrong or valid for Binky to hit him.
3. DW comes off as insanely bratty & unlikeable in this episode. The way she downplays her breaking Arthur's plane is just beyond despicable & stupid (even for DW). If they had written her as much more sympathetic in the episode like maybe she dropped the plane by accident & apologized immediately to Arthur, then it would've come off as much more likable.
Instead she just tries to justify she didn't do anything wrong & then blames Arthur for not making it fly. Seriously, that would piss me off too.
4. Not showing DW get punished for breaking the plane was bullshit too. All they literally had to do was show Arthur saying DW broke his plane, her parents questioning if this was true & then getting upset at her for doing it. It wasn't that hard at all, but nope, the show decides to go the "I don't care what happened, hitting is always wrong" route.
And the writers never once apologized for this terrible episode.

Thereâs a reason why Edward was my favorite character in early season Thomas the Tank Engine, even more than Thomas, because he originally was one of the few characters with common sense and cared about how others felt. Even after James insults him in an episode Edward still saves him in the end. This is a complete 180. Iâm not too surprised about Gordon because he usually acts like this anyways but Edward is the last character that I would expect this from. This episode makes him look presumptuous and discriminatory. I donât have anything against having unfriendly, bossy, or spoiled characters in a show(in fact whatâs makes it enjoyable is when they get what is coming to them) however when your characters are acting completely different it can ruin the story. They could have had James in this episode and it would have made some sense. This would be like Thomas suddenly bossing everyone around. Thomas is reckless at times but heâs never been shown as stuck-up or as a bully. Depending upon the plot, characters acting completely opposite is one thing that makes a show less enjoyable because it makes people ask what the issue is. This is why in later seasons of SpongeBob I came to hate my former favorite character Patrick Star. Patrick used to be stupid and annoying in a charming way, but his character took a dive to the point where he acts like a jerk with no motive for his behavior other than being dumb. In season 3 an episode focused on this and SpongeBob tries to make his friend look smart which leads to Patrick being so obnoxious and annoying that it drives SpongeBob through the wall screaming

Itâs sad to see that the makers of Arthur have resorted to cheap ass looking flash animation. Looking like something made on CZcams.
When I first saw the Flash animation, it was like it was made by freshman animating students. I met Marc Brown who created Arthur, he said it was because of the cost of animation.
Yeah it's sad when an animated show loses it's animation budget. But I will say it looks far better then what happened to the Fairly Oddparents and at least it didn't lose all of it's writing quality.
The Flash-animated seasons of the show is a _really_ bad influence on animators like me.
CZcams can do better.
Yeah, it looks so bad and awkward. I get that because its on PBS, it won't have the most highest budget and is publicly funded. Hand-drawn animation isn't cheap but wow, Arthur in flash animation feel unnatural. At least, the episodes are still good writing wise.
when I heard "Caillou decided to look himself up on wikipedia" i just bursted into laughter
ME TOO
Fun facts about Teletubbies:
Many theorize that Boohbah is a ripoff of Teletubbies
Tinky Winky (played by the late Simon Shelton) was criticized for carrying a red purse carried by adults.
The sun baby was played by Jessica Smith
The original run of the series 1997-2001 was filmed at the now tragically flooded Wimpstone Farm near Ragdoll's HQ ar Straford upon Avon, Warwickshire
It had a short-lived 10-minutes spinoff in 2002 called Teletubbies Everywhere which had the characters multiplying themselves and shows the TV event films being filmed at different countries and dubbed in different languages.
DW is just a female, furry version of Caillou
I remember when the word "furry"
wasn't used as a bad stereotype.
@@furanafriendszuentertainme2785 yeah, same
Yes, aardvarks are furries now, also I could personally agree, both were brats
Exactly. And DW's parents are extremely permissive toward her. Someone give HER the GoAnimate treatment!
Speaking of Caillou, he's finally canceled! Good riddance, isn't it?
@@davidhileman8567 definitely! I'm surprised he wasn't canceled sooner tbh đ
I'm surprised there's no Barney episodes, despite Barney being in the transition.
Well, Barney may be a little too sweet and slightly sugar coated but if you have seen more episodes than me (some Barney haters only watch one episode and automatically say it sucks) you would know that when he talks to the audience, he doesnât treat them like idiots.
Not only that, but Barney Is kind of character that wishes for world piece (something that we actually kinda need if you think of it now).
@@LardManAnimation Though, some of the songs on the show can get pretty dark. Just listen to "I'm Being Eaten By A Tyrannosaurus Rex" and that song about a rabbit nearly being shot by a hunter. Granted, both songs were from earlier seasons but man! Barney can get hardcore!
@@jenneacubero1036
Shit, I forgot about that song. I only remember because I was in the target demographic during the early days of Barney & Friends. Those were the days.
Oh dread, oh dread, he's up to my...
GULP!
@@isaacgleeth3609 Pretty catchy song, I must admit.
@@LardManAnimation funnily enough, Barney stopped my younger siblings from bullying me several years ago.
My dad liked this show called Rodger Ramjet and my siblings watched it so much I hated it.
So, instead of listening to me and watching it a little less, they'd sing the theme song day in, day out.
It went on for a whole school term... until one morning, I got up earlier than I'd meant to so I could taped a show on channel 9.
As I turned on the TV, I realized I had to wait through Barney before my show would even start.
Instead of going back to bed, I decided to just watch it... but, the moment the theme song started playing, a lightbulb went on in my head.
The tune was EXACTLY the same as Rodger Ramjet.
Now, at the time, my siblings HATED Barney. They were in that "ew. I'm too big for kids shows like that anymore" phase.
So, I recorded the theme song and took every chance I could that weekend to watch it over and over until I had it memorized.
2 days later, on the car ride home from school, they started singing Rodger Ramjet's theme song.
I waited for the second verse, then, with the biggest shit eating grin on my face, started singing the next verse of Barney's song judging from the tune.
They stopped, looking confused, before they became HORRIFIED.
They never sang the song ever again and ALWAYS fast forwards through it whenever they watched the show.
Can you believe there was actually an Arthur episode about DW teaching manners to one of the Tibbles?!

@@daniexists6
Unfortunately?
@@daniexists6 That... wasn't a bad thing, but okay...
Donât forget Boohbah, that show is terrifying, itâs the same creators of Teletubbies
Honestly, Boohbah is by far worse (in my opinion).
For one the teletubbies at least had a plot as opposed to boohbah with random shit happening.
Also, the boohbahs (if thats their name) were way more ugly and annoying.
It was werid. And creepy
I never found the Boohbahs scary. I thought they were cute!
@@slyninja4444 Ew!!!! Not TELETUBBIES!!!!
Oh god not Teletubbies đđđ not that damn show
31:13 This Caillou GA/Vyond videos were the bomb growing up and still are to this day
The good thing is that Warner Bros, of all companies, decided to censor Caillou's infamous pinching scene.
Theory: Caillou is actually meant to hypnotize kids into being brats that expect everything they ask for
True that
Iâm getting SCP vibes from this.
no wonder its been pulled from reruns
The the kids beg to buy caillou merchandise so they can make more MONEY
I don't think that Caillou is being that bad. I grew up watching Caillou and I'm perfectly normal in terms of behavior.
Thereâs 2 episodes I can remember where I actually didnât dislike DW.
The first is how she feels when she overheard her parents fighting, and starts getting visions about them getting divorced or hating each other forever. Childâs imagination and also sympathetic.
The second is when she just starts playing around with sounds, making a choir out of doo dads and things. She actually had something she was passionate about, a way to express herself. And as an artist, Iâm a bit biased towards that kind of thing.
I also liked the episode with the Fire Drill because it showed her being afraid of fires, but helped Tommy calm down and get him through the halls.
I also like that episode where she heard a curse word.
I like the one where Arthur cuts his knee on a lima bean can because D.W., for once, seems genuinely worried about him when it happens. It makes her much easier to like.
@@SnakeitySpoonGilmour And she tells Arthur that he needs to tell his parents what happened because if he doesn't say anything, his cut knee will catch an infection and make him very sick
The fire drill one was pretty good, almost think the one with her surgery had her tollerable too
24:42
They shouldâve both faced consequences. What they both did was wrong. Arthur butting DW is awful and dw needs to stop being babied and enabled
In defence of Teletubbies, it's not really a kids show, but an infant show. It's simple because infants can get over loaded by too many words and like repeating things, hence their habit of repeating themselves. It's not really for adults or kids. I was however lucky, my daughter never liked them. She liked Little Einsteins instead because of the music.
Good on her.
Great job, daughter!
I liked Teletubbies when I was little. Please donât hate on me.
Caillou is gonna end up in prison when he's older. I wanna see that
Then search up Caillou gets arrested by many Vyonders.
He'll be bald for a VERY different reason in prison. (That's an Aryan Nation joke. I guess it's not that obvious.)
yetitruckdrum: *makes a video about Arthur going to prison for beating up one of his slightly younger sisters DW and Caillou*
PhantomStrider: I thought that would happen. Then again, he is the same cyberbully that slandered and harassed me on âTop 5 Worst (or in his case, âBestâ) Films of 2016â before I ever found out, so I shouldnât be surprised.
Have you check Cailou at 22 ? It a great animation series about a Groe up Caillou
@@DocVolteer Omg I love that show! XD
I never cared for the main characters of Teletubbies as a small child. But I personally loved Noo-Noo. As a vacuum robot, he's always depicted cleaning up other people's messes. He's seemingly the only person with a true sense of duty and responsibility on the show. These are moral lessons kid shows should teach. Honestly, I'd love to see a show solely about Noo-Noo's life.
I would like that too. It'd probably give us some insight about him, maybe even show us some of the sad things he has to go through in his life, & even show how badly he is treated by the Teletubbies.
Honestly, I like a lot of the practical effects used in Teletubbies, and some of the set designs are pretty cool. Noo-Noo is the best practical effect in the show imo. So cool!
@@feltricfence7871 Not as cool as BAAAAAD CUSTARD!!!
My first experience with telettubies was watching a Slendietubbies 3 review
Now i can't see Noo-Noo as anything other than a fricking monster
But seriously, why does that game have legitimately good moments, it's fucking Slendietubbies
I nearly cried when watching the La-La scene, WHYYY
Imagine it like a mockumentary where they interview him and he tries to get a new job doing something other cleaning up. He could go to college or something đ€Ł

Fun Fact: The real estate agent is Lin Manuel Miranda: AKA the guy who created Hamilton!
He's also the songwriter for Moana, too.
I knew I recognized that voice!
I ran downstairs and asked my mom if it happened
*inserts my favorite Hamilton song here*
I knew it!
not mentioned, in D.W.'s bad mood D.W. has a fantasy sequence about ruining Lisa's party. In the fantasy sequence D.W. brings in a big helicopter and sprays water all over Lisa's cake and all the party guests...all because she wasn't invited to a party by a girl she's not even friends with.
I am SO Glad âArthurâs Big Hitâ is on the list! Because it botches up the moral of âdonât hit your siblingâ terribly! Because Arthur was punished for being rightfully pissed, and DW gets off Scott free! The Dragon Tales episode âNo Hittersâ did this moral much better, because Max was less justified in hitting Emmy. Yeah, you know youâve REALLY messed up when Dragon Tales, of all things, pulls off a moral better than your show.
The teacher actually helps Max with coping mechanisms of feeling anger.
@@sophiebyers5496 Yet another thing that "no hitters" does better than "Arthur's Big Hit". Like you said, the teacher (I can't spell his name) teaches Max coping mechanisms with his anger. Arthur's parents did nothing of the sort in "Arthur's Big Hit" because they only punished Arthur, without teaching him better ways of coping with anger. So, I repeat, you know you've REALLY fucked up when Dragon Tales executes a moral better than your show.
Rosie doesnt play with her, and she never will, she grew up, while caillou is a manchild
rosie became a successful millionaire and caillou....well he died
Rosie became part of the US Navy.
Why would she even play with that annoying brat anyways
@NutbrownPoopers yeah
Caillou dies of cancer.
That's why he is bald and his parents don't ever punish him.
He could go any day and who wants their last time on earth with their son spent telling him he is a shit head?
Back when I helped teach Pre-K and K on sunday mornings, there were a few kids who behaved very poorly to say the least, and I learned it was probably because Caillou was their favorite show. I suggested the parents switch to Thomas the Tank Engine and from then on they were so much better behaved. So yes, Strider's claims are Grievous-verified.
I used to binge watch it on Netflix and I turned out great,but seriously if you're gonna talk about a brat,get more than like two episodes of content,because those two horses have been dead since 2010
This is why Caillou is BANNED in my home. He's a whiny little shithead. My nephew used to mimic him constantly, and I would rather dump acid into my eyes and ears than to see and hear my own son act that way.
Imagine if all toddlers grew up to be like Caillou.
*claps* Good job!
I remember discussing the episode of Arthur's Big Hit with my kids after we watched it. We all agreed that this was a horrible episode on many levels, but it also opened the discussion that TV sometimes has some very bed messages, sometimes even in good programs. We talked about good and bad messages that they saw in many of their favorite shows.
So, left alone for kids to watch and absorb, this was a very bad episode. But when opened up for discussion after watching it could be used for some very deep sharing and learning.
Cailou sets fire to the house.
Cailouâs parents: This is fine
his parents would be like âcAiLLoU tHaT wAsnT vErY nIcE nOw dO yOu wAnNa Go oUt fOR IcE cReAm fOr bEiNg a gOoD bOy?â

That was funny.
I'm actually with Arthur on this one. D.W. brought this upon herself, for not leaving her brother, or his model airplane alone.
D.W. should have been punished as well.
And WOW! When even Family Guy addresses how bad Caillou is, that's when you know you F***d up!
I agree. Arthur told her not to touch his model airplane and she did it anyway. She didn't even feel remorse for wrecking his plane!
@@melissacooper4282 IKR! It's no wonder so many people dislike D.W.
As a older brother with annoying younger siblings, thank you for seeing Arthurâs side
@@mileshayter7440 No problem. I have a younger sister who was self-righteous and always pure-pressured me into things I knew were wrong. Which one time, cause me to get my fingers crushed between an umbrella stand(My fingers are fine BTW. Just left a white mark that went away long ago.)
So needless to say, we didn't get along all that much during childhood, but are better now as adults. Plus I'm never a fan of spoiled brat characters in TV shows and movies. Hense why I hated both D.W. from Arthur and Angelica from Rugrats.
The sheepdog reference on Arthur may refer to the Shetland Sheepdog. There are different breeds of sheepdogs. I have a Shetland/Cattle dog mix that has blue Merle coloring named Bluey but I had her prior to the cartoon series of the same name.
28:38 I don't blame you one bit. You have my condolences for even having to see Teletubbies at all.

Sesame Street:
The Teletubbies' Sun Baby is a girl and she is now a mother. Let that sink in.
