0:00 it just breaks my heart to find out this show ended after 25 seasons and 26 years on air
We haven't see none of them
Family guy is not Disney + you dope
I remember watching the Spongebob SquarePants episode Mid Life Crustacean before it was pulled.
Ever since the porygon episode was banned porygon never appeared again in the Pokémon anime and reason why it’s evolution porygon 2 and porygonZ are the only Pokémon that never have first appearance in Pokémon anime all because of pikachu.
"When you think of banned TV, you probably don't think of cartoons made for little kids"
Honestly that's mostly what I think of

Watch a walt Disney movie he's been traumatizing children since the 50s.
@@adambennett2737 eh, I'd say 20s even--have you seen some of the pre-Disney Company shorts?
@@wizwitch5318 yeah very disturbing

Considering how effectively Mr. Rodgers discussed such sensitive topics such as divorce and even assassination, how in the world do they ban those episodes?
because American government wants nothing g but to protect themselves from their own wrong doing why the fuck do you think 911 happened.. it's because they needed an excuse to go to war.

when my grandpa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2012, my mom used that episode of Arthur to tell me about it. I was 7 years old at the time and Arthur was one of my favorite shows, sad to see it was banned for so long when it really helped in my understanding
Thank you for sharing that is such an emotional and terrifying subject and children have a hard time understanding it's good that you spoke out ♥️ 🙏 respect thank you
That’s so weird! I watched the episode in 2013 when I was six and my grandma was just diagnosed with cancer. I’m glad I’m not the only person who was positively impacted by that episode
How does Arthur wear his glasses if they are below his ears?
They actually revised the Arthur episode now. They replaced Lance with Slam Wilson.
I remember that episode where arthur favorite lunch lady McGrady who had cancer I'm didn't know that it was aired in the US but I'm didn't see the news of the banned episode and I'm didn't know that Lance Armstrong had a battle of cancer I'm never knew that but the episode important to make kids understand how you lose someone you love when deaths come I'm lost my father from sickness he was 63 like Donna Summer age on February 9 he died two months ago.
“We’re adults, we don’t get confused.”
Oh how I wish that was true.
People think it's true because they're the adults now. They think that since they're no longer kids, they don't need to try and learn new things anymore
@George Johnson Yup, no more hiding behind your parents when something bad happens. You yourself have to take the responsibility.
Yea, now days there's men who think they can become a woman and women who think they can be a man, and that its normal to believe a 3 year old when they say theyre the opposite sex and to start transitioning them immediately. There's people who think that there are more than 2 genders and all the pronoun bullcrap. Some adults are absolutely delusional.
What’s so crazy is that SpongeBob episode never made me wanna steal someone’s underwear, but I sure do love some sentence enhancers🤣
😂😂😂😂
Giggle
hey krazy, how the flark are ya?
@@your_local_questerian pretty flarkin good😎🤪
But really though what were they thinking with that episode? 😂
After learning about the Simpsons episode "Stark Raving Dad" becoming banned from both DVD and Disney+, I can officially say that I will never let go of my original release copy of Season 3 on DVD until the day I die if it's now considered valuable.
Ban? Why .
@@jukebox6071 They were able to explain the reason for the episode being banned in the video, BTW.
@@sonicmario64 yeah I saw it . Just kinda seems unfair I guess but was Muhammad in both episodes such as scot getting pay back ?
Mr Rodgers tastefully tackled many hard topics that children need to learn about but most parents either didn't know how to address the subjects or thought kids didn't need to know about certain topics... considering the children were always affected by the circumstances, Mr Rodgers helped them deal with it when they experienced the hard times in their lives. I've got mad respect for him!
Aside from The Panty Raid scene, Mid Life Crustacean had a lot of memorable memable moments I will never forget.
*Art Though Feeling It Now Mr. Krabs?*
I really hope we get that episode back on tv ( even if I know it by heart too)
Mr. Krabs: “You’re nerds, creeps, geeks and babies!”
SpongeBob and Patrick: “NOT BABIES!!!” *suck their thumbs like babies*
And also...
Patrick: “I can feel it!”
SpongeBob: “Patrick’s that’s not a ride!”
*Reveals Patrick is riding on Harold’s back as he’s pushing a shopping cart full of groceries*
Harold: “Get off of me!”
@@jeanbean7183 It's at least on the Season 3 DVD boxset still.
thank God i still have the episode on my DVD Collection
Mr Krabs: Hey boys, hanging out?
Patrick: Yes.
I’m surprised Midlife Crustacean was banned but Sailor Mouth, an episode where SpongeBob and Patrick learn the consequences of swearing, was not!
yeah what's up with that
@@marlonclark1896 that's kind of how the Simpsons is on Disney Plus Disney has banned tons of episodes and scenes from The Simpsons but thry kept the scene on the Simpsons Movie where Bart shows his penis
And I still saw Midlife Crustacean XD
"Art thou feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?" XD
I would assume it's because the episode censored itself.
If any SpongeBob episode deserves to be banned, it’s One Coarse Meal. Suicide is a serious and sensitive issue to a lot of people, and I can’t believe that Nickelodeon had the Gaul to treat it like a joke.
SpongeBob: Let’s continue this conversation in private Patrick, I think some people are eavesdropping.
Patrick: Well, how rude of some people.
I hate that Midlife Crustacean got canceled, it’s literally one of the funniest episodes.
Yeah I loved that one
Art thou feeling it now Mr. Krabs.
If anything one course meal should have been banned
@@luigibulletin8446 I can’t object to that, that episode is horrible.
I watched "Mid Life Crustacean" as a kid, but never knew it was banned.
It got banned recently, like a month or two ago
For no fucking reason
@@Ace_Of_Luck it was the cancel culture that did it
@@adrianmoreno5496 I stand by my comment
@@adrianmoreno5496 No such thing in Cancel Culture.. Y'all keep believing in that nonsense..
that x files episode was truly disturbing, the only scary episode imo and there was absolutely nothing supernatural about it. well done
I agree
I was so upset that Stark Raving Dad was taken down. It's one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons, Happy Birthday Lisa is just such a sweet gesture from Bart...its a shame it's been wiped from Simpsons history basically.
The New York episode has been pulled too, since it contains a long-running joke about the Twin Towers.
@@dhenderson1810 That episode was brought back to circulation several years after the terrorist attacks. And it's also available on Disney+. But the MJ episode was never returned to circulation. Disney+ doesn't even have it.
@@EdithCardellini Leon has returned to the series in the episode, Mr. Lisa's Opus which aired in 2017. Obviously, Jackson passed on and didn't play him again but that episode is still in rotation
What makes it even more frustrating is that Leaving Neverland is quite possibly a fraudulent documentary. It contains multiple lies and the claims of the 2 men were thrown away by 2 different judges. Senseless ban in my opinion.
I remember that episode!

that spongbob episode still plays, I still see it every now and then
Them: “When you think of banned tv episodes, you don’t think of cartoons”
Me: That’s literally the entire reason I’m watching this video.
Carpet munching...that's subtle...
I understand why it was banned, but "The Encounter" is a very well-written episode of "The Twilight Zone" and George Takei and Neville Brand acted the hell out of their roles.
Mr. Sulu was just curious about sacrifice
@George Johnson
Both your comments were right on!!
I saw that episode somewhere and it was incredible! Sanitizing everything that makes us uncomfortable dooms us to repeat it over and over because we never question our actions by ignoring them. Allowing anyone to prevent facing uncomfortable truths is terrifying to me....
You didn't mention that the Pokemon incident happened in two waves. Japanese TV aired news reports showing the scene, and still more people went to the hospital. The episode is available now, but the colors of the explosion and the frequency of the flashing was drastically changed so it wouldn't trigger any ill effects.
Really I didn't know it was available now 🤔
*I remember seeing “Mid Life Crustacean” early in life.*
If youre a Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi fan, theres a banned surfing episode because of poor timing due to the Indian Ocean earthquake of 2004.
Nothing speaks intriguing than something with the word 'banned' attached to it.
I remembered the great McGrady and a s a young cancer survivor( very young at the time) this episode was so helpful I showed it to all my friends so they could understand it a little better. I'm still upset about Lance Armstrong as I wore the livestrong bracelet for years. However, as far as a hero for cancer survivor still a great role model for young kids.
I 100% remember the SpongeBob one and the Arthur episode. The funniest part is I remember they called him “Lance Legstrong”
Banning shows is just as dumb as banning books. It shouldn't be done it's wrong
15:58 This moment also resulted in a change of Japanese broadcasting standards for anime and other high energy programming.
Now, all anime broadcasts are required by law to dim the brightness during moments of intense action.
You've probably seen this in the openings of shows like My Hero Academia, to make sure something like this incident never happens again.
Or...you know...they could just not have seizure induced flashing period. Like...does anime really need scenes showing bright lights flashing? I don't think so. They could easily just make normal scenes and just not use flashing lights period.
@@vgmaster02 It's not just the flashing that triggers seizures, the bright lights in particular are what tends to cause certain people to have them. Dimming down the brightness during action sequences (as well as those warnings not to sit too close to the TV) was probably the best solution. If a lot of stuff is happening really quickly all at once and the brightness is too high, it may produce a similar effect in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
And no shit Sherlock, no one IS putting strobe effects in their shows anymore for those exact reasons, so congrats on contributing nothing to the discussion while trying way too hard to look smart. You sure showed us.
The king of all banned episodes... 200 and 201 from South Park. Nothing can compare to that.
I have both... I can hook u up with them UNCENSORED. Accept for Muhammad ofc
Shit was wild
I recently found the uncensored speech at the end of 201 on YT. Very well said.
@@CZcamssucksdick i need
@@DomaLlama sorry i have to do it like that 😞
Edit: do u have a facbook?
I actually watched and seen that Author episode that’s crazy but even as a kid I don’t believed it bother me at that point I had just found out my grandma was a cancer survivor.
I saw the Arthur episode "The Great McGrady" when I was a kid. The ending was very sad
I love the mature jokes that were made in the older Spongebobs.
I remember the panty raid episode. The plot twist where that was Mr.Crabs mother was hilarious.
Top Ten Best Banned TV Episodes
I remember the "Buffelo Gals" episode. It sits in my brain membrane all these years. I never thought anything about it at the time.
Surprised that the Wicked Witch episode of Sesame Street didn't make this list. One of the most famous "banned episodes" in TV history.
I can't belive that spongebob episode is missing, I remember watching it plenty of times on reruns
Me also
Me too. They definitely didn't ban it for a very long time. That fact was wrong. So many people quote that episode.
I remembered the SVU episode that was supposed to be aired..
Mid-Life Crustacean and Stark Raving Dad should have never been banned.
Mid life crustacean got banned so late too
@@Kait16xo weird that the episode has been airing on tv for years and suddenly it now gets banned
@@marlonclark1896 ikr
The SVU episode was supposed to air during the height of the 2016 election but it seemed too political. Obviously the SVU team were pro Hillary
Facts
Your list was Epic
I once watched the episode “Buffalo Gals” from ‘Cow and Chicken’ when I was a teenager, I have no idea it was that bad.
It was so funny and stupid like most of their episodes
I don't get it the carpet joke
Same. Flew right over my head, like most of the other more "adult" humour. But that would definitely explain my older brother's shock and uncontrollable laughing. He was a teenager at the time, and I was maybe 5 or 6, so I'm sure HE got the joke
Nah cow n chicken Def wild the f out in their time...they even ate ass!!! There favorite dish BTW 😋 lmaoooo
Me also
Ive seen 200 and 201 only once, several years ago. I can’t remember exactly where I found it but I do remember having to look VERY hard to try and watch it.
When I was probably about 10 years old, I thought flashing lights can get anybody seizures, but I guess I was kinda wrong since I learned that it's usually for people who have epilepsy. Since I was never affected by it.
I'd thought that whole thing was something Michael Crichton invented for the book THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN. Imagine what I thought when I found out it was real.
I remember when Wang Chung's music video was pulled because some people actually claimed (never proved) to have seizures from the flashing camera angles. It was pretty silly, but a lot of people were incredibly worked up about it, just because they wanted to be on the outraged bandwagon....
Stark raving dad. It's in my top 5 favorite episodes of the Simpsons. Lisa it's your birthday is one of the best songs.
So glad I was able to actually see most of these when they aired
You didn't mention sesame street. There was an episode that featured the witch from the wizard of Oz. It's nowhere to be found.
Was it because kids were scared of her?
@@kendrarasberry3078 Does a minute pass every sixty seconds in Africa?
@@kendrarasberry3078 Yes
I’ve heard of that, but it’s been found. Also, something being bannered isn’t the same as something being lost.
4:59 - Whoa, uncanny valley!
Seeing that Baxter Stockman scene is amusing, considering how much else they got away with; the gradual mutilation of Stockman, as more and more body parts disappear; also, Shredder getting his head cut off - of course, the twist is that he is really an alien piloting the armour from inside the torso, but when the decapitation happened, this wasn't revealed, so it seemed like it was fatal, gruesome injury.
Y’all make this exact same video all the fucking time it’s hilarious 😂
If only someone worthy enough to edit the ending of Mid-Life Crustacean from SpongeBob to avoid being banned.
Narrator: Later.
SpongeBob: Sorry, Mr. Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: [sighs] That's all right, lad. I certainly feel younger.
SpongeBob: Good night, Mr. Krabs. [leaves]
Mr. Krabs: Good night, SpongeBob.
[the episode ends as the light turns off]
What actually happened?
@@Jenifer_R_ I think SpongeBob finally apologizes to Mr. Krabs after their night along with Patrick was canceled since he walked out on them.
I wish this panty raid scene never ever existed to avoid being banned.
@@ryankeim9702 I thought it was funny when they saw the scantier panties in the drawer, then he pulls out the granny bloomers with a "Jackpot!" Nice joke.
Momma Krabs: Eugene! Lights out!
Mr Krabs: Yes mommy!
5:22 Doping can't be so bad if he seems to healthy despite having cancer.
I know a non-smoker male survivor of throat cancer and deceased female cigarette smoker from Lung Cancer. RIP.
1:31 You underestimate my power!
We’ll never forget that controversial episode from ‘Tiny Toon Adventures.’
Seeing the clips brought that memory back. I DO remember seeing this episode as a child.
I have yet to run through enough of it on Hulu to see if it's there or not
Which one?
@@MASTEROFEVIL one beer
I refuse to let Mid-Life Crustacean's removal from any kind of digital streaming or viewing prevent me from every seeing it again if I ever want to. Thus why I bought the first three seasons of the show on DVD.
Mid-Life Crustacean is no longer banned since it is on DVDs and airs on the SpongeBob Universe on Paramount+.
@@ninmarbob Oh I see. Regardless though.
Porygon, the one Pokémon that has yet to appear in the anime.
Weird feeling that I remember 3 of these. The spongebob, Family Guy and Seinfield episode.
I like how we all willingly watched this knowing we could have a seizure.
Yeah, a seizure at worst or headaches at best.
Yeah I've almost died
You guys watched it ?
I never expected that. Why? Because I expected them to have more sense that to play the clip in a way that would actually induce a seizure.
And I am among those warned by my doctor to avoid flashing lights for this reason.
I have a clear memory of watching that Tiny Tunes episode on Teletoon mid day middle of the summer like 04 , 05
Awesome that 3 of my favorite shows appeared on this list: Seinfeld, X-Files, and Simpsons! I’ve even seen the episodes mentioned
Damn Simpsons doesn't even make my top 5 and I remember that episode from my childhood so well 😅
And Family Guy Episode! The Creators pulling The Simpsons episode was the worst thing that ever happened because it ruined my daily school routine of watching The Simpsons and Futurama at my break time. I had to find an alternative way to see it. Thanks a lot pullers.
Now I need to watch Buffalo Gals. That looks HILARIOUS!!!
As a hard core LGBT+ supporting progressive, I bust a gut laughing when they burst in and started eating carpet. Me too!
Whenever I think of an overlooked banned episode pulled from syndidcation, I think of "Hot Spells" from Darkwing Duck
Where DW has to make a deal with the literal devil. Only saw this episode two times as a kid.
@@CrimsonNineTail such a bummer it may never see it's time on D+
Never had a chance to see it; we got the channel VERY late in its run (thank you rural cable providers..)
2022 you can put any and everything on TV and won’t get in trouble 🤷🏾♂️
What about "Man's best friend" from "Ren and Stimpy"?
15:54 Good thing I have got that episode on The Complete Third Season DVD in the UK
I saw Home the night it broadcast. My buddy and I knew as it was airing that we probably wouldn't see it again. Eventually, I did find a VHS copy.
Loved seeing Home on the list. Too bad the Peacocks never made it back.
I’m sorry the buffalo gals bit was fucking hilarious 😂
What a show....I can remember striving for Friday night and watching twilight zone
was I the only one literally gagging wen they swollen the donkey “fluid “
This was an interesting video! It's sad to see banned episodes around.
Also, is it just me, but I've never seen married with children, but I've seen Futurama. That woman's voice...
It’s sad that the original ‘The Great MacGrady’ was banned all because of the appearance of Lance Armstrong. So glad the show revised the episode without him.
The one thing I learned from "one beer" was that there exists a bottle of beer that is infinite. So many like me now wish it existed in real life.
I'm sure it exists. All you need is a Master of the Mystic Arts who can make it magically refill when it's empty XD (that's a Thor Ragnarok reference)
Theoretically they could edit Electric Soldier Porygon to remove the red and blue strobing lights. Instead they could edit it to show a large cloud of smoke as a result of the explosion. Sadly not only did they ban the episode but they banned the Pokémon Porygon from ever being allowed in the anime. Outside of a brief cameo in the movies Porygon has never been seen in the anime ever again after this episode, and it’s evolved forms Porygon2 and PorygonZ has never ever been seen in the anime period.
I love SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, FAMILY GUY, THE SIMPSONS, and SOUTH PARK!
Me also guy !!!
yeah i remember reading about that pokemon episode, ever since porygon became one of my 5 favorite pokemon ever. it got banned for all episodes and it didnt give the thundershock.....poor thing
That cow and chicken episode idk what to think "they break into people's houses and munch carpet "
The irony that most of these are banned for just acknowledging real life
Fun Fact: In the Amazon Prime version of The Great Snail Race/Mid Life Crustacean, the season 7 episode Gary In Love replaced Mid Life Crustacean.
Fear Factor always had gross stuff.
I saw the banned Married with Children episode in the Paley Center in New York City!
I binge-watched all of BMW on Disney+ recently and that episode was still on there. I actually was surprised it was.
I saw the TMNT episode “Insane in the Membrane”. While it did freak me out a bit as a kid, I don’t think it deserved to be banned
Banned no, but I definitely think there should be a disclaimer or warning before the episode that it shows graphic content like cartoon network did with some animes.
TMNT episodes insane in the membrane name after song 🎵 by Cypress Hill from music album called Pure Hip Hop album and single album balck Sunday comes out June 22 1993
The fact Arthur ended in 2022 is shocking
I have seen the SpongeBob episode on this list alot of times lol 😆, and seen The Tiny Toon one and Simpsons one with MJ playing that guy
Funny thing is I saw those Mr Rogers on PBS in the 90's.
You really saved the best for last. I LOVE South Park!
My first thought was instantly the Porygon episode of Pokémon. I think I saw that Spomgebob ep once, though, when I actually cared to watch it.
Did you know that 2003's Ninja Turtles debuted the same year as the Monster Jam truck
I remember that powerpuff girls episode traumatizing me😳 I watched it on Netflix. The sponge Bob episode was on Nick. I had no idea it was banned
I remember seeing that spongebob episode as a kid only once before never seeing it again, now i remember what the episodes about as a freshman high schoolers.
I remember, the see me feel gnomey episode of powerpuff girls and first saw it year 2008 in the philippines
Just forget one beer episode in the end of one beer it's only just Buster Plucky and Hamton wearing angel costumes and they're acting and they learn their lesson is alcoholic drinks are not for kids. Do you want to watch Phineas and Ferb gets busted again? It's just Candace's bad dream to Perry's bad dream.
The married with children episode is gold jerry gold!
The Loud House needs to ban No Such Luck because there’s Child Abuse
The Spongebob one with raiding panties IS INCLUDED in Prime Video, the panties Mr. Krabs grabs turns out to be his moms, just watched that episode a few weeks ago
It’s true !
I knew I wasn't insane when I talked about that south park episode!
I was just waiting to see that damn porygon episode to show up on this list 😂
I swear I remember seeing 201 from South Park back when the episodes were on Hulu. But I could be wrong and maybe I never saw it.
I don't usually watch TV or cartoons so I don't care but however I love fairy odd parents because my favorite character is cosmo
Promises promises is available on disney plus
I was wondering why i didn’t remember a powerful girls musical when i was watching it for the show for the 80th time and came across it on hulu at like 3 am xD
