- I present to you all...Gaither's Pond! The ugliest Christian cartoon series I have EVER seen. The character designs are straight out of a nightmare
"What the HELL..." is a series where Saber talks about a cartoon or movie and what the HELL it's about

Saberspark LOL
Saberspark Thanks for making such great videos!!! Could you perhaps review a shitty THEATRICAL animated movie, like minions, or, The Emoji Movie?
The beginning scared the shit out of me
Mac Mcskullface I'm with you
Another Globathy Glob mess!
“But *NOOOooooOOOO,* I GOTTA RUN A *R E T R A C T I O N.* I GOTTA STICK WITH THE *F A C T S!!!”*
MostlyVanilla that’s my favorite part XD
Sorry to be that person but what's a retraction?
What the living hell was that?
Probably the funniest part.
That's actually funny
Japan: "Let's make our characters cuter!"
America: "Let's make our characters the ugliest things to ever exist."
Continue the tradition! We might catch up with British puppets!
LOL, have you seen CGI Anime before? It's at least on par with this.
what the fuck? no it aint. look at bubuki buranki or land of the lustrous
Mario is top 10 Wait, who are you responding to? Just wondering.
The person that said CGI anime is as bad as this. CGI anime can look really REALLY good, hence the two shows I posted
This entire show is like multiple Bowling Alley screens at the same time
Those animations are marginally better, at least the happy bowling pins don't look like sleep paralysis demons.
At least Bowling Alley animations tell me I got a strike
crap christian shows: "gossip is wrong"
Church christians: gossip constantly
No one ever listens.
Hypocrites
💀
I kinda admire how this even gets that message across that even positive gossip with good intentions can have unintended consequences. It can create jealousy, confusion and unrealistic expectations. It's a nice message for a kid's film. I dare even say Gaither's Pond is full of pretty good messages. Embrace the differences of others, don't fear the unknown, and... don't do drugs, I think? Being real, though, the morals may be nicer than *certain other cartoons* which may or may not start with C and S, but the journeys to get them across are delightfully strange, the animation can be memeworthy at times, as well as the dialogue...
("But noooooooo, I gotta run a RETRAAAAAAACTIIIIIIIION. I got to stick with the f a c t s!")
and the music is... really good, actually. Whoever was in charge of it really knew how to compose. It's these blues and jazz like harmonies that really got me into Gospel. That and some songs from the Blues Brothers movies. They slap harder than Will Smith.
fr tho 😩
Gaither's Pond: "God is on my side."
God: *You're not affiliated with Me!*
Kamaboko Gonpachirou 😂 That’s what god says about me!
I read that in Mr.Incredibles voice
Satan: sorry he with me
Satan:I’m not keeping them hell isnt deep enough for that
Satan: ugh ill keep it but only in the deepest and most cramped corner of hell
God: *Looks away for 15 seconds.*
Christian Cartoons: "GUY'S QUICK, POUR IN THE FEVER DREAM POWDER!"

But one question still remains…
WHAT THE LIVING HELL WAS THAT?!!?
It’s so big it’s hilarious
Something journalists today could learn from lmao
" *Land or death, it's the same thing to a fish* " is the ONLY truth in this series 😂
"Lava or death, it's the same thing to a human"
The one time this series got a chuckle out of me
NOBODY LAUGHED AT MY ALL FOR ONE JOKE! It took me 3 days to edit that...3 DAYS
Saberspark I'm just thrilled you like anime :) Every now and then, you throw in such a joke and it just warms my heart to have you as part of the fold :)
Saberspark If it makes you feel better, I probably will.
XD Waaa
Saberspark I laughed!
Jk I didn’t get it sorry.
I admit, that joke was indeed _quirky._
At the church I work at they make the kids watch this if they're "being good examples of the Lord", in the eyes of the teacher. There was one kid who kept crying until the teacher turned it off.
If it's what they get as a reward, I shudder to even think what they put on when they were bad...
I’m not Christian but I find this funny lol
Were they trying to make kids atheist? You think would be the opposite goal of a church.
Jula Moon Luckily at my church the kiddos just get to watch Veggietales as a reward and not this insanity
I bet God and Satan BOTH agree it's garbage.
Mr. Poe and Yogul missed being the biggest hit by a few years, as it's clearly dank meme real estate
One time my aunt visited from upstate, and she brought a VHS tape--not a published tape, but a copy of a copy. She told us it was the latest project my cousin Vence had worked on for the Gaithers, and we all sat in the living room watching it. I was fascinated because wow, not just a new cartoon, but a new EXCLUSIVE cartoon my COUSIN helped make! It remains a memory I'm proud of...even if this was the result.
Cousin Vence is an amazing songwriter and a great guy, and seeing "I liked the songs" being a takeaway is a truly cool thing to come across this far down the line. I know he would spend full nights pacing and writing sheet music, and I always liked it when we would get a cassette single from down the way.
I have a lot of Opinions about Christian animation, it is a brand of "we can't do it but we will anyway" unique to the churches I grew up in and there is a lot of history there, but...heck, I'm just proud of my cousin right now. Way to go, Vence!
(But yeah, it's entirely the VeggieTales grab, speaking as a kid there from alpha, llllol)
This is a sweet story and a wholesome take on the subject. I like your comment. Thanks for posting it ☮️

No one's gonna talk about the fact that there's a pufferfish in a pond?
@Isha Wow I didn't know! But yeah pretty sure the creators are dumb
I'm questioning the whole cartoon itself
A flying one at that
If I remember correctly, there was a species of pufferfish in the rivers of Kalimantan. They don’t actually have spikes but, they have incredibly sharp teeth, and have been suspected to be the reason why a lot of kids got their peepees cut off...
Dr. Cool My mom told me that. It’s uhhh...a very unlucky scenario...This happens because those people don’t have indoor bathrooms...
I watch horror movies and games at night on a regular basis, and I've gotta say, this video has been sitting in my "watch later" list for so long because of how unsettling this cartoon was to me.

TheMysteriousMrEnter has talked about it. I recommend it.
If gaithers pond was written like an adult swim series it would be really good imo. Xavier Renegade Angel is similar and I love that show
My grandparents pretty much only had christian cartoon movies and shows, shirley temple movies, and the original care bears series to watch at their house. They were pastors and had morning and evening bible readings for as long as i have known. While i never watched gaither's pond, i distinctly remember the trailer playing on the small tv screen in the van. The memories that this series brings back are actually very good and makes me nostalgic for the time where i didn't know much about politics and i didn't have to hide parts of myself. Bittersweet, i know, but still, i love seeing saber review some of the more obscure stuff i grew up with and proving to my brain that all this stuff wasn't some insane fever dream. 😊
Patrick: These are some ugly looking fish.
Spongebob: Maybe we're near one of those toxic waste dumps?

I remember being shown this as a kid, and tbh, I only watched it a couple times for the music... I can't believe I forgot how horrifying this animation is. This is hilarious even by 1990s standards.
My dad was super into Gather Vocal Band, The Eagles, and Boston when I was a kid, so I listened to a fair amount of that growing up. I don't listen to then much now (because my childhood kinda burnt me out on southern gospel music tbh), but the Gathers have had some great singers and have had friends of the group with great voices sing with them over the years. One of their former lead singers, Guy Penrod, has a crazy good voice. He went out and did his own work over the last 10-15 years. Haven't followed him much, but his Breathe Deep album actually has some really good songs if you're into country.
The corresponding actor and character thing is an interesting idea but they took it to far
What's worse is that beavers actually create perfect ecosystems for pond creatures
Wow...so they’ve (accidentally, intentionally, or not) managed to disrespect their own religion AND biology...

@Lenia Carter i just looked at the characters and almost barfed and I was eating dinner :(
I thought Saber was joking, but no, he was right
Fun fact. The Larry King-fish joke is actually a decent pun, since a kingfish is an actual fish.
I do appreciate the fact that the lipsyncing actually fits and don’t just move around messily while they talk
One of the fascinating things about this bizarre creation is that it’s an inexplicable mix of horrifying and strangely competent! I keep coming back to this video because I’m just so intrigued! Blatant cash grab it may be, but it’s definitely got flair…
That "Mr. Poe and Yogul" atrocity looks much more entertaining than "Gaither's Pond." It looks like some 4chan guys shitposting purposefully bad animation.
I found one of the episodes reposted to YT; it’s actually very shitpost-y and the main villain of the episode was a French cow
The intro haunts me with how fake and cheap it looks.
This just is an elaborate 4chan project that got funding.
It looks like a youtube poop
One of my animation teachers always insists that abusing the stretch & squash technique can make your animation look grotesque... I guess this nightmare of a series proves he's right
It is useful in 2D animation when used in moderation but squash and stretch almost always looks weird when used in 3D...
Silver Scale Productions It's also quite useful in 3D, especially when working with cartoonish styles. But it's also true that its usage must be much more limited in this medium than in 2D in order to look good
Rezz well, I was talking more about the squash and stretch style rather then the technique, you always need a bit of it to keep the animation from looking blocky and stiff but the style is where it is pretty pronounced in nearly all the movements. Looks really good in 2D if done right but almost always looks really weird in 3D except in certain circumstances.
Any other useful tips? Just curious
@@SilverScaleMA They managed to do the worst of both here- they stretch out the model in a goofy way, but yet it still looks stiff

The thing that a lot of these Christian animation groups seem to forget is that the original Veggie Tales had stuff for kids that weren't religious
It gave you good life messages and some religious stuff, but also actually entertaining stories and characters, as well as pretty good animation and designs
Not sure if I can say the same for the new version but ya know
The VeggieTales Show will be bringing the franchise back to its roots.
Veggie Tales was Christian, but also a genuine show. I loved it as a kid. It was entertaining, not something Ma shoved on the TV you had to bear through for an hour. Good characters, neat stories, and real lessons. You could've removed all the Jesus and still had an entire show. That's how you make good Christian media. Make it good without having to hinge on the God. Because kids don't actually understand the scope of God.
Exactly. I grew up in a home that wasn’t super religious, and I LOVED veggie tales.
Don't worry, they brought the old format back. And they're more focused on teaching good morals than religion
My favorite part of veggietales was that it wasn’t always Christian. Sometimes it was just funny.
11:13 Let’s not forget that the ducks are singing a happy and animated song but keep their crying faces.
Omg i remember watching these. As I got older growing up in the church I helped out with the younger kids and they would play these. I very specifically remember the last “episode” and the big and the salamander characters 😂 lmao childhood is such a trip. It’s so weird seeing it again and recognizing the faces and voices I had totally forgotten about this 😂😂😂😂
Christians make remarkable horror. Case in point: This and Scott Cawthon. Scott's FNAF series was inspired from critique on his CHRISTIAN games, since the animals looked like hellspawn. So he made a horror game and it became a hit.
TheCaliMack i dont think chipper & sons lumber co was a christians game lol
some abomination from another dimension not that game, the other ones he made
Ya Boi for what i remember, chipper & sons lumber co was the only reason why scott made fnaf.
Someone said the models looked like robots. They did.
Scott made pilgrims progress
i remember watching gaither's pond and mr.poe & yogul at my granny's house on saturdays when i was younger because i could only watch the christian channels until 7pm. i thought it was a fever dream. this brought back the painful, painful, memories.

I have the feeling that they looked at Veggietales, and came to the conclusion that what people loved about it was that it was CG, and not the fact that... well, Veggietales is well-written, has decent voice-acting, and the characters are cute-looking rather than ugly blobby fish with giant people chins and teeth and... just no.

Oh goodness, as someone who aslo grew up Christian (and still is) I'm SO GLAD I wasn't exposed to this nightmare! My church and parents still respected what was made with quality 😭
I am thankful for my old school showing me only veggie tales instead of this monstrosity.
I'm thankful this didn't exist when I was in elementary school (I think.. I hope.)
I love veggietales
Check out Simon the Lamb by Precious Moments and The Crippled Lamb by StarToons Animation. Those two are actually decent movies that respect their audience Christian or not.

When I was a kid, I watched this from time to time. While the animation was ugly, I did find some of its jokes bearable. I remember meeting Bill Gaither a few years ago and I asked him about this show. He changed the subject pretty quickly. Looking back at this show I can see why.

With Flash's death recently, Live Bait Productions' website is down now, so this is practically a brush-through archive of this whole show, and creative process of Gaither.

the thing is: gay frogs actually exist, chemicals actually DO mess with the frogs that brings a decline upon their populations. this is the one thing he's actually right about.
and if Alex Jones is right about something, you know that there is something wrong.

Proud to be german after seeing this.

MVP Unlucky indeed
If you wanna see ugly cartoon characters, I highly suggests look at Spiderus from Miss Spider's sunny patch. It is so weird because all the other characters have colorful circular shape bodies but Spiderus (especially his family) are the only bug characters that have human faces. That's just creepy 😳😨
In Japanese culture, a fish with a human face will cause a tsunami.
And there are multiple fish with faces
*Oh no* XD
Gaithers Pond suffers the biggest tsunami known to fish-kind
4:21 they're literally T-posing. They didn't even try.
*ok let's go*
They are asserting dominance
I had to go back when I saw that because I wasn't sure of what I was looking at.
They're ALL t-posing on him. He doesn't stand a chance!
Even if it feels like a shit post, it was very old
Shreks swamp > Gaithers pond
lel
Fuck
Shrek's Swamp is better than anything tbh
Wut r u doin in meh SWAMP?
Gaithers pond > Shreks swamp
The thing about this show is that the characters are talking about like boring adult stuff, like politics, taxes, that sorta thing. Like kids don't give a shit about those topics.
It sounds like to me that the Gaithers just wanted to make a skit show with their buds, since there's a lotta inside jokes between them.
9:08 I like how you can clearly hear the fly's VA starting to break character and laugh because of the absurdity
The “and Yogul” really made me laugh
You know I’m at supercritical level when “und yogel” is my type of comedy

The line between "trying to make art" and "trying to cash in" gets really murky and difficult to define in Christian media. Even if we take the creators at their word regarding their "mission," it's kind of both and neither. They're really just trying to get their message in front of as many eyes as possible. In that sense, they would probably argue that their product is more meaningful and "true" than mainstream media, which they would argue is just in it for the money. But at the same time, they don't measure how "good" their product is by the same standards that true artists would (creating art for arts' sake) - they measure it by how far they can spread their doctrine (They might phrase it as "How many lives we've touched"). In that sense, selling as many DVDs as possible kind of _is_ the objective.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the evangelical world, it's a very difficult mindset to grapple with. I think many of these people are sincere in what they're trying to do, and they think they're doing genuine good. But it's a much different version of "good" than how others might define it.
Only good Christian media I have ever laid eyes on was Larry Boy and the Giant Fib.
People that make this kind of media seem to have no sense of aesthetic whatsoever.
I think you're probably right. Also, I suspect there is some reluctance among people in their church community to criticize, because that would be "shallow" to focus on the visual rather than the message. On the other hand, the creators might simply shrug off any criticism as attacks from the devil.
There seems to be a lot of very laughable Christian media out there, and I can't help but feel embarrassed by it, and then guilty for feeling embarrassed. But bad Christian art like this is problematic. The ugliness and poor quality is distracting from the message. They are doing a disservice to their mission by wrapping something amazing- the message of the Gospel- in something most everyone would turn away from in disgust.
Well said
...And then there are Christians who genuinely think some of these sloppy, questionable Christian media are good because they contain good messages, which only propagates the problem. Which is a real shame because Christianity did inspire many of the greatest works of art in history. Just go look at the Renaissance or Baroque art. Even in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Biblical epic was a popular genre, and films like Ben-Hur and Ten Commandments are some of the most monumental works of cinema while still being religious and reverent.
Garbage like Gaither's Pond does not help spread the message, it just turns us Christians into bunch of Bible-thumping laughingstocks! Really, these abominations make me appreciate VeggieTales that much more because the creators infused the show with memorable characters, simplistic animation that takes advantage of the low budget, and child-friendly humor that even adults can find funny. Yet, they created it as a mission, not commerce. Ironically, it is when the secular industry took over that VeggieTales devolved into what it is today with VeggieTales in the House (sigh)
With that said, if you look carefully, there are other great Christian media being produced elsewhere. You've got radio shows like Adventures in Odyssey, Max Lucado's children's books, Superbook (the original ANIME series, not the CGI remake, mind you) or even recent films like Passion of the Christ or Hacksaw Ridge. You also have films like The Mission and Martin Scorsese's Silence, or TV miniseries like Jesus of Nazareth by Franco Zeffirelli. Want some quality Christian animation? How about Testament: the Bible in Animation, or Animated Stories from the Bible by Richard Rich, or Hanna-Barbera's The Greatest Adventure Stories from the Bible? Even Glen Keane (one of the greatest Disney animators of all time!) wrote and illustrated Christian children's book series called Adam Raccoon. Speaking of animation, there are many Christians working in the secular entertainment industry and they try to infuse their beliefs into the work they make, even when the work is not blatantly religious.
19:03 This made me laugh. How unexpected
Ever since this video came out I was shocked, as I was actually looking for a cartoon that my grandmother used to put in for me and my cousin who was about 2 years older than me, I think I was about 3 or 4 at the time. And I finally found it
(The video came out right as soon as I gave up hope of finding it). I don't know why I didn't just type this comment the day this video came out
oh this video is the reason why I know what gaither's pond is XD
4:36 a T pose actually the default pose that most models have when you load them in, meaning they just put the characters in a room without adjusting the pose at all
DAMM BOY T POSE
Yeah, it's supposed to be so you can rig up model skeletons without making anything overlap and also so you can easily access all the body parts TO move them. As opposed to G-Mod style ragdolls where you just have to grab a limb and hope it's the right one.
Ewwwww
Wait people didn’t know that???
The raw default-state is what makes the stance so powerful; it is when the person is at their most truest of forms
Good fact
We “modern” Christians have not been known for our great art choices in the 21st century
Don’t worry, some of us Muslims haven’t made the right choices either.

Yeah, I guess you peaked some centuries ago and it was just downhill from there, culminating into THIS 😂
