notice how Belson began to notice Clarence and started to care about him once behavior began to plumet like Belson's. sometimes i think Belson started out how Clarence turned out in this scene, and it just stuck with him so seeing Clarence going through [on a outsiders perspective] what Belson might've gone through, made him realize "oh wow someone like me? maybe he can finally understand me!"
I mean, benson didn’t really grow up with a dad from hints we get in the show, both parents are divorced and despite being as wealthy as money can be. Nothing he buys gets a reaction out of him quite like when he uses it with or around others like clarence
Tell me, why is breadwinners, sanjay and craig and clarence are not airing expect for special days, Unlike April fools day. They literally aired the best weird shows for once :(
Clarence is one of the very few shows that realistically and perfectly captured the chaotic and creative nature of a child's mind (its opening song is so perfect). I'm so sad that people didn't see Clarence for the greatness that it is and was only focused on how unappealing its character designs or art was.
The part where Clarence gives away all his toys and stuff until his room becomes totally empty reminds me so much of how I dealt with my sadness in early elementary school. The totally irrational feeling that you don't deserve objects that make you happy is so freakishly familiar.
During Primary School (Middle School), I was basically like this because all the teachers were assholes, and never tried to see why I was like this sometimes...only a few teacher's made me happy, but most of them didn't know I was autistic and treated me horribly, for the way I acted. I love this episode, because Clarence in the end of the day finally gets a teacher to understand him (Ms Baker), and she finds his lil buddy for him again. I know autism is pretty normal thing, but for some reason growing up I didn't find other people who were autistic like me till Secondary School (High School), so it was really hard essentially being the only odd one out. I like how "Clarence" shows the struggles of kids who are different like Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo growing, because they all clearly have some type of autism too, and aren't really understood as well. I could see a bit of myself in all 3 of them.
“They all clearly have some type of autism too” ??? Mans missed the whole point. They’re all different in their own way. I definitely see autistic tendencies in Jeff and Clarence, but to say they all “clearly” have autism is pretty presumptuous.

Great Randy Newman parody aside, this is actually a really good depiction of depression in kids. I feel like Clarence doesn't always gets the recognition it deserves.
sadly these things only get recognized when its spelled out for the audience ''WHAAAAAAT they said mental health in a car toon????????'' whereas more nuanced depictions in children's entertainment like this get ignored
This song is completely giving me Toy Story vibes. The song that is being played(wierd stuff is going on) is obviously highly influenced and inspired from the song "strange things" which is played in Toy Story when Andy starts favoring Buzz over Woody. Even the names of the songs are very similar. Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate that. Two songs full of confusion and the relationship with a kid and his toy.
It's funny how comic relief characters are known for their silly/goofy attitude and then out of nowhere develop a dark/moody characteristic. I love it! It's been done with ED, patrick etc.
Verse 1] I used to be the king of the classroom Now I'm just a fool I used to be respected Now I'm the reject of the school [Verse 2] I used to run this rabble Now they run around me I used to be the president of the playground Now I'm doing lousy [Pre-Chorus] Life has lost its color Darkness surrounds me (My lil' buddy, I miss my lil' buddy) Feel like I've lost a brother And nobody's found me another that loves me (Nobody loves me) Now everything seems so ugly (so ugly) I'm feeling cruddy, I miss my little buddy [Chorus] Now, weird stuff is goin' on I said weird stuff is goin' on around me I said weird stuff is goin' on I don't even recognize myself
To those who don't know the context: In the playground, Clarence was mostly in trouble for freaking out a child with his doll, Clarence had 5 minutes of time out but was sacred that if he gets up he'll receive 5 more minutes, Time was already passed and got back up, However playtime was up already and time to go back into the school building, At home, Clarence for some reason was mad at his own doll and broke it by accident, Then went into some kind of forest near by and buried it, And so this is where this now happened. Also don't worry, There's still a good ending to this.
This hits too close to home for me. When I was a child I got assaulted and blamed for it. In a way to how I responded to the trauma, I began sleeping all week, agitated at everyone and I was just so angry.
clarence was a really good show. Before that, the only cartoon I’d watch on cartoon network was Regular Show. I found this show super nostalgic and genuinely funny. It reminded me of my young childhood. Even my dad loved the show. That says a lot
I feel like if the character designs weren’t so weird, this show would get the recognition it deserves. Because not only does it have very relatable topics and issues, but it addresses them very well. People just can’t look past how weird looking it was.
Am I the only one not bothered by the look of this show? Clarence looks like it fits in with any other CN show around this time, mainly Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa.
Can't believe people disliked this show for its character design and then watched Steven Universe, a show that couldn't even keep consistent character heights and sizes, smh.
From going to a happy-go-lucky normal Clarence episode to this SHOCKINGLY good depiction of depression in a school Enviromint is almost beautiful as how depression can sometimes just immediately plummet, a happy kid could have something go down and become depressed with the school system doing nothing to help. This is one of the best Clarence episodes because of it
Unrelated to the Lil Buddy episode specifically, BUT I tried watching Clarence again as an adult, and it is an absolutely fantastic watch. Even though my younger-self was a very different kid from Clarence, there are so many aspects about him that just remind me SO much about my childhood! He feels like such an accurate depiction of an oblivious, big-hearted child, I think most people can relate to him in some capacity. I wholeheartedly believe this show was a bit ahead of its time, and that if it aired today, perhaps it would see more appreciation. I know the show gets criticized a lot for its gross-out moments, but I honestly don’t think they take away from the show that much. I also think a lot of the time, the gross-out moments serve somewhat of a purpose, usually to help us get in the mind frame of Jeff, understand why some people are more particular and uptight, to hopefully become more sympathetic to those types of people… Exaggerating the grossness of things to show that while some things are not a big deal to most people, they can be incredibly stressful and nauseating for others. Although the creator of Clarence turned out to be a bad man, I think this show still deserves appreciation. After all, it’s thanks to the hardwork and dedication that the hundreds of staff members working on Clarence put into the show that it has so much personality. :)
i swear jeff was so relatable to me as a kid, i wasnt as clean as him and my head also didnt look like it was shaped by those japanese watermelon boxes, but he had some OCD-like tendencies. it was also cool seeing all the representation for different households! i used to love the show too and maybe i should give it a re-watch. i even remember clarence being kind to the people who collected the neighborhood's garbage and it was acknowledged they didn't get the respect they deserved usually and despite clarence bothering them on the surface they found him endearing. little moments like that were so cute.
I’ll add to what everyone mentioned. This truly is a portrayal of harsh actuality in regards with kids mental stability. Anybody could notice his downcast demeanor yet they tended to ignore it. This episode holds a memorable charm i will forever never forget. Before I knew what depression was, I used to appreciate the moral behind the episode. Thank you for raising us Clarence, TAWOG, regular show, and other cartoons.
the line "I don't even recognize myself" perfectly expresses how being depressed effects how you look at yourself, this is my favorite episode mostly cause of this song and also the way it shows how being depressed can just destroy your life
Man i did not know that this show is old. Oh man so much memories every morning before going to school and after going school my teeth even fell out while watching this show just love the days back then always happy and no stress time really just go so fast. Miss this man:(
I love how he just seems "normal" when he's depressed. Idk if that was intentional but its still kinda cool cuz it shows that a lot of depressed people dont even show that theyre depressed often without even knowing
This is still my favorite song from Clarence also fun fact the singer is pretending to sound like Randy Newman as this is a take on strange things from toy story 1 when woody is watching how buzz is being played with more than him by Andy
I fucking identify to this. From one day to another things suddenly change and start going worse and worse. You start feeling bad af and the people around don't understand you and don't want to understand you, which is worse. So you get to a point where you're fed up of shit and you start doing drastic changes. You don't give a fuck about what people will think, you just change cause you wanna get out of that fucking cave where there ain't light and faith. This state of mind is one of the few that correlates the mental and the physical individual. When you meet somebody going deep down through this shit you can see that his body is just a reflection of what's going on inside his head.
This episode to me felt like the transition of a kid realizing that they are getting older and beginning to drop the childish habits and start to pickup on how they will be in middle school and high school
I was searching for this , i was watching Clarence when i was kid but the Arabic version this is the most episode that affected me and how i think and make me love this show :)
I remember this episode having a weird audio desyncing issue and I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it really did help bring the fact that he slowly became more and more desensitized as the episode progressed, the more he gave in the worse the desync got
Clarence was one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows that I loved watching a lot so much along with Regular Show, Gumball and Adventure Time. But this Episode of Clarence's *Little Buddy* comes to my head when I think of an Episode because seeing him depressed after he buried his little buddy really hit me deep and made me feel so sad for Clarence.
I watched this episode back when I was in 6th grade. I usually watch Clarence as something to make me laugh but this particular episode made me uncomfortable. Looking back at it now though, I can see how well this portrays our public school system. They don't care if you're depressed, they just toss you away...
I feel like the teachers and other students care in this episode, they just have no idea what the heck is making Clarence act this way. It shows when they help fix what happened with his little buddy by the end of the episode. You're right though, public school systems aren't built to handle depressed kids. As a teacher, I have over 125 students that I need to meet their specific individual needs every day, and I just can't. I do my best, but there's only so much one person can do for a kid in a 40-minute class period, especially for the ones I don't know how to help. For some, it seems impossible because there's no one else to give them that support for the 95% of the rest of the day I don't see them, including when they're at home. I guess, like, I'm saying that I'm sure not all public schools aren't tossing them on purpose. I know I try my best to give the kids whatever positive attention I can while they're in my room, and I know several of my co-workers who do the same (not all, there are definitely ones who are selfish). There's so many people who care about kids that go into this line of work, the system in of itself is just so broken and dysfunctional.
This is something I can relate to sadly. During the pandemic, the constant feeling of being stuck in my home forever took over my thoughts. I soon fell into a depressed, unmotivated slump which resulted in me falling off during my Junior year in high school. Thankfully, with new medication, therapy, and support from my friends and family I was able to push past it.
Everything around him got more and more depressing. When he's in detention there's a bulletin board with "Men are born to succeed not fail." Also everyone around him grew curiosity, as well as everything he owned being gone. His attachment to one thing ruined his entire week. That's just crazy to me.
Huh. I always told myself I wouldn’t become one of those grumpy teenagers. This is exactly what happened though. I lost an important thing and spiraled into a sad angry little man. I’m trying hard to be better about it though.
Same. Just like when saw adults with miserably lives and not wanting to live and i was like " this people are insane i would never let myself be like them" the innocence

Man. I remember seeing this for the first time when I was a kid. It hit me like a truck, because I’ve had crap like this happen to me when I was in Elementary School. Something would happen where I’d get the blame but the teachers were at fault and they never fixed what was wrong. I’ve had times where I’d act like this. I’m pretty sure I had depression when I was a kid and it was kind of like this. (Not a great home life, bullying, jerk teachers, etc) So yeah.. pretty accurate I’d say.
This episode legit disturbed me. I get that he was in a bad place, but considering how little it took to send him spiraling like that, I can't help but be legit afraid of how far off the deep end Clarence would go if he experienced something legitimately scarring.
this is what it feels like being a depressed student, always feeling like you’re being an inconvenience to everyone else because of the way you feel then people act like you’re being a downer for not “getting over it” as everyone always says
Reading through the comments here was a bad idea. I can’t believe this cartoon brought up so many memories. I remember a time when I was naive and fun loving and then it all hit at once when my grandpa died, I started failing at school and never got my grades back up. My dad realized I wasn’t joyful anymore but didn’t help me out much. It really sucks to think about how there was a time when I was stress free and happy and it all got taken from me when I was 12 and I never returned to being care free and happy. Now I’m probably going to live my life stressed out and maybe I’ll rest when I die.
Everyone talking about how this is “deep” about the education system, Clearance legitimately thinking he just committed a murder and abandoned the corpse in the woods.
After reading Ansel's comment in the comment section, I can't believe this is a Toy Story reference to Randy Newman's songs! 😰 I grew up with Clarence before I was in my early 20s right when Steven Universe first aired when I was 19 and seeing Clarence depressed for the first time is 101% relatable! For anyone that doesn't know how clinical depression is like, it's EXACTLY how Clarence acts! You would... 1.) Feel exhausted all the time. 2.) Feel a little irritated yet drowsy. 3.) Feel dull and numb to do anything. Those are 3 things you should know what depression is like as it's way more than being sad as it's also an emotion that I can't believe is relatable to Steven from Steven Universe before he turned into that GIANT Pink Monster! No wonder the older Cartoon Network Era of the mid-2010s were so much better as they expressed so much about mental illnesses which is creepy for me to know how much I miss both of these shows let alone Adventure Time. 😁
When I listen to that song it always reminded me of that song from toy story, the one where it was a montage of where everyone started loving Buzz and Woody sees everyone and everything around him changes like the posters and bed having Buzz merchandise instead of Cowboy merchandise.
@@sergegarabiles7754 mhmm, it's safe to assume the doll is something really significant to Clarance so he is attached to it and hates it as well as himself
I remember the first time i saw this episode, I didn't even think anything of it, I watched it as a normal episode, then I saw the episode as a teenager and understood the episode way better
when i was younger and i saw Clarence use the broom as a brush all i could think was "damn that's really clever" and wonder about how it would feel to so that
Imagine if his character was actually like this and the show was structured exactly this way
Then it would be very dark very very evil too cuz then he would have been join that kid with a b which he says is his friend Clarence is not that smart if that happened so you got to the Clarence series is just evilness
Be an interesting idea for the show I'll tell you that..

He would be a side character in the background always in the shade with his hood on
This is an accurate depiction of how the public school system treats depressed kids. Never dealing with the issue. Just toss them out and pray
although at the end of the episode they figure out why hes sad and fix it which is nice

i used to love the show too and maybe i should give it a re-watch. i even remember clarence being kind to the people who collected the neighborhood's garbage and it was acknowledged they didn't get the respect they deserved usually and despite clarence bothering them on the surface they found him endearing. little moments like that were so cute.
I agree completely. Man I miss this show
The creator is bad????? What did he do?
@@ratbastard7224 There were sexual assault allegations that came out against him while the show was still airing. The situation was quite bad.
@@ratbastard7224 Very bad stuff……
I’ll add to what everyone mentioned. This truly is a portrayal of harsh actuality in regards with kids mental stability. Anybody could notice his downcast demeanor yet they tended to ignore it. This episode holds a memorable charm i will forever never forget. Before I knew what depression was, I used to appreciate the moral behind the episode. Thank you for raising us Clarence, TAWOG, regular show, and other cartoons.
And Adventure Time
Man ngl i really miss this show so much
I remember i was 7 it was so funny and good show... 😢
the line "I don't even recognize myself" perfectly expresses how being depressed effects how you look at yourself, this is my favorite episode mostly cause of this song and also the way it shows how being depressed can just destroy your life
Clarence was such an experience to watch. It captured the feeling of being a kid for me and how things felt
Don't let this distract you from the fact that I get bullied because my classmates think my videos are the worst. Please don't agree, dear name
This show really did a good job capturing being a kid, man. The animation also was strangely consistent, yet never felt stiff. Gosh, man.
Man i did not know that this show is old. Oh man so much memories every morning before going to school and after going school my teeth even fell out while watching this show just love the days back then always happy and no stress time really just go so fast. Miss this man:(
The reason why I love this show so much is because it shows the suburban, elementary school life of an American kid which I wish I had...
I love how he just seems "normal" when he's depressed. Idk if that was intentional but its still kinda cool cuz it shows that a lot of depressed people dont even show that theyre depressed often without even knowing
big props to the creators of this show for in my opinion showing a fairly accurate depiction of what it's like to deal with depression
Clarence was such an underrated show.
Sometimes weirdness and gross absurdity can also be artistic and deep.
This show is gold and I’ve been so upset since they took it off HBO Max. this is how I feel.
It's back on now
I’m going to remember for the rest of my life that when a kid is acting up, it’s because they subconsciously want someone to ask if they are okay.
This is still my favorite song from Clarence also fun fact the singer is pretending to sound like Randy Newman as this is a take on strange things from toy story 1 when woody is watching how buzz is being played with more than him by Andy
Yeah exactly!!!!
Plot Twist: it’s actually Randy Newman. He’s just uncredited.
@@okjeffy6581 haha imagine.
Strange things parody from Toy Story
I fucking identify to this.
From one day to another things suddenly change and start going worse and worse. You start feeling bad af and the people around don't understand you and don't want to understand you, which is worse.
So you get to a point where you're fed up of shit and you start doing drastic changes. You don't give a fuck about what people will think, you just change cause you wanna get out of that fucking cave where there ain't light and faith.
This state of mind is one of the few that correlates the mental and the physical individual. When you meet somebody going deep down through this shit you can see that his body is just a reflection of what's going on inside his head.
Some deep shit I symphatize with
Calm down, will you? Good god.
@@littlemoth4956 Technically he can say what he wants this is YT :/
Not gonna lie, Clarence is so powerful he can single-handedly change a rule in school for good
This episode to me felt like the transition of a kid realizing that they are getting older and beginning to drop the childish habits and start to pickup on how they will be in middle school and high school
…what?
@@littlemoth4956You're to young to understand
This describes me perfectly. 😔
So ur emo?
@@tyrone6848 Kinda.
I was searching for this , i was watching Clarence when i was kid but the Arabic version this is the most episode that affected me and how i think and make me love this show :)
صراحة مثلك. شفت المقطع قلت بالعربي شوي احلى
@@mr.m3728 بالعربي أحلى
I miss Clarence, its been 4 yrs since I last watched an episode. The old times will always be the good times...
I used to think this show was stupid like uncle grandpa. I actually genuinely enjoy watching it now, as it’s relatable and pretty funny.
Same I just realized how good it is
0:14 Everyone look at him.
After a few days, they started seeing concern for Clarence because they knew him very well.
@@krisbd6262 He went from a funny, happy go-lucky kid to a depressed silent person
This is basically every school system not knowing how to deal with depression ever. That episode really had a powerful message.
I remember this episode having a weird audio desyncing issue and I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it really did help bring the fact that he slowly became more and more desensitized as the episode progressed, the more he gave in the worse the desync got
One of the most realistic and relatable episodes in cartoon history
I don't think so, I mean he went full Emo because of a toy
@@sergegarabiles7754 is the kind of person who didn't get their toys taken from them
@@sergegarabiles7754 he meaning that the school does not care if your depressed or not
I’m just gonna clear up that this isn’t depression, this is being bummed out and being overly dramatic aka being a child
well of course which is what this show does best
I had those moments when I was a kid.
Clarence was one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows that I loved watching a lot so much along with Regular Show, Gumball and Adventure Time. But this Episode of Clarence's *Little Buddy* comes to my head when I think of an Episode because seeing him depressed after he buried his little buddy really hit me deep and made me feel so sad for Clarence.
I watched this episode back when I was in 6th grade. I usually watch Clarence as something to make me laugh but this particular episode made me uncomfortable.
Looking back at it now though, I can see how well this portrays our public school system. They don't care if you're depressed, they just toss you away...
I feel like the teachers and other students care in this episode, they just have no idea what the heck is making Clarence act this way. It shows when they help fix what happened with his little buddy by the end of the episode.
You're right though, public school systems aren't built to handle depressed kids. As a teacher, I have over 125 students that I need to meet their specific individual needs every day, and I just can't. I do my best, but there's only so much one person can do for a kid in a 40-minute class period, especially for the ones I don't know how to help. For some, it seems impossible because there's no one else to give them that support for the 95% of the rest of the day I don't see them, including when they're at home. I guess, like, I'm saying that I'm sure not all public schools aren't tossing them on purpose. I know I try my best to give the kids whatever positive attention I can while they're in my room, and I know several of my co-workers who do the same (not all, there are definitely ones who are selfish). There's so many people who care about kids that go into this line of work, the system in of itself is just so broken and dysfunctional.
Clarance sat down and... whatever her name is... just sent him to detention
School is a Purgatory.
Since I lived in Canada, the public schools actually gave a shit about depressed students and at least tried to help.
This is something I can relate to sadly. During the pandemic, the constant feeling of being stuck in my home forever took over my thoughts. I soon fell into a depressed, unmotivated slump which resulted in me falling off during my Junior year in high school. Thankfully, with new medication, therapy, and support from my friends and family I was able to push past it.
Clarence is known for his unstoppable excitement. This makes this scarier.
Everything around him got more and more depressing. When he's in detention there's a bulletin board with "Men are born to succeed not fail." Also everyone around him grew curiosity, as well as everything he owned being gone. His attachment to one thing ruined his entire week. That's just crazy to me.
Yeah, not to mention, the colors are getting duller and duller. Amd at the end of the episode the colors become bright again.
One of the darkest and surprising episodes ever...This episode really surprised me.... It's my favorite episode and I love the song
Huh. I always told myself I wouldn’t become one of those grumpy teenagers. This is exactly what happened though. I lost an important thing and spiraled into a sad angry little man. I’m trying hard to be better about it though.
Don't tell me you also cosplay your favorite Doll Infront of your school
Same. Just like when saw adults with miserably lives and not wanting to live and i was like " this people are insane i would never let myself be like them" the innocence
@@sergegarabiles7754 uhhh what?
@@aboveaveragecat4469 oh, I was just joking about the ending of this episode, cause it use to scare me when I was a child
Your desire to change and improve is admirable. Keep at it, friend! :)

If am being honest this sounds like a song that would be in toy story but this episode made me sad that clearance changed for a little while
This was actually a parody of “strange things” from toy story lol💀💀💀💀
You know its real when gilben have a different Expression
I forgot that this was about missing five minutes of recess.
YES! Finally someone points it out
This episode was so concerning like I legit couldn't understand cause I was little.
Man. I remember seeing this for the first time when I was a kid. It hit me like a truck, because I’ve had crap like this happen to me when I was in Elementary School. Something would happen where I’d get the blame but the teachers were at fault and they never fixed what was wrong. I’ve had times where I’d act like this. I’m pretty sure I had depression when I was a kid and it was kind of like this. (Not a great home life, bullying, jerk teachers, etc) So yeah.. pretty accurate I’d say.
So CZcams recommended me this after 6 years
Man I miss this show
R.I.P Clarence 2014-2018
I wish there was reboot.
It sounds like toy story 1
Song is a banger in a weird way
This episode legit disturbed me. I get that he was in a bad place, but considering how little it took to send him spiraling like that, I can't help but be legit afraid of how far off the deep end Clarence would go if he experienced something legitimately scarring.
this is what it feels like being a depressed student, always feeling like you’re being an inconvenience to everyone else because of the way you feel then people act like you’re being a downer for not “getting over it” as everyone always says
Love this show cuz it really does portray actual childhood shenanigans
So much better than that stupid gumball show

0:22 no one talking about how she’s forcing him to play with other kids
I only just realized this was an allegory for abuse and depression
Reading through the comments here was a bad idea. I can’t believe this cartoon brought up so many memories. I remember a time when I was naive and fun loving and then it all hit at once when my grandpa died, I started failing at school and never got my grades back up. My dad realized I wasn’t joyful anymore but didn’t help me out much. It really sucks to think about how there was a time when I was stress free and happy and it all got taken from me when I was 12 and I never returned to being care free and happy. Now I’m probably going to live my life stressed out and maybe I’ll rest when I die.
Dang dude. That's deep. Maybe you could do counciling or something?
I like how he grabs a Skunk
Everyone talking about how this is “deep” about the education system, Clearance legitimately thinking he just committed a murder and abandoned the corpse in the woods.
Damn it's been a while since I saw this episode really?
One of the darkest and saddest episodes of the series, I felt so bad for Clarence 😔
After reading Ansel's comment in the comment section, I can't believe this is a Toy Story reference to Randy Newman's songs! 😰
I grew up with Clarence before I was in my early 20s right when Steven Universe first aired when I was 19 and seeing Clarence depressed for the first time is 101% relatable!
For anyone that doesn't know how clinical depression is like, it's EXACTLY how Clarence acts!
You would...
1.) Feel exhausted all the time.
2.) Feel a little irritated yet drowsy.
3.) Feel dull and numb to do anything.
Those are 3 things you should know what depression is like as it's way more than being sad as it's also an emotion that I can't believe is relatable to Steven from Steven Universe before he turned into that GIANT Pink Monster!
No wonder the older Cartoon Network Era of the mid-2010s were so much better as they expressed so much about mental illnesses which is creepy for me to know how much I miss both of these shows let alone Adventure Time. 😁
When I listen to that song it always reminded me of that song from toy story, the one where it was a montage of where everyone started loving Buzz and Woody sees everyone and everything around him changes like the posters and bed having Buzz merchandise instead of Cowboy merchandise.
Got some questions, your Doll breaks and that's how depression are made?
@@sergegarabiles7754 mhmm, it's safe to assume the doll is something really significant to Clarance so he is attached to it and hates it as well as himself
@@cloudynguyen6527 no, he just really likes the Doll, ever watch the episode? Or you're right, I haven't watch the Clarance for years
@@sergegarabiles7754 yeah I watched it long ago too... I just remembered he hated it for some reason then hated himself
I remember the first time i saw this episode, I didn't even think anything of it, I watched it as a normal episode, then I saw the episode as a teenager and understood the episode way better
Finding out when we have to grow up is hard
I like how the other kids noticed that Clarence wasn’t being his usual self
I mean it was blatantly obvious
I appreciated the reference to Toy Story when I first saw this on TV
Clarence is the most realistic cartoon.
No magic, no weird creatures, no superpowers or whatever. It’s just about a normal kid doing normal kid stuff.
the backstory of the driver from "get out of my car" is starting to get deep
this is the one episode that i remember from this show, and i remember it so vividly because of how dark it was
All the other kids with their pumped up kicks. Better run, better run, out run my skunk.
Bruh, he's literally getting punished for not being happy, school is worse than prison.
look at this 0:28 he make other people stuck and hurt 😐
I mean he's pretty happy, they were just confused, also The Teacher helped Clarence became happy again, by bringing and fixing his Toy back
best version of clarence
This seriously makes me sad to see such a happy, kind, cheerful charecter get so sad, and see his parents sad and worry for him
Imagine if emo Clarence was the ending of the series
when i was younger and i saw Clarence use the broom as a brush all i could think was "damn that's really clever" and wonder about how it would feel to so that
