It's real but the reason they take out their belts is actually to use them as weapons lol

"How the hell did they get away with that?" moments in children's TV
- Thread starter Uzumaki Goku
- Start date
I think (I haven't seen the show in years so i could be misremembering) there was an episode of The Big Guy and Rusty (possible the first episode/pilot) that showed or implied human soldiers melting.
yeah i figured, its a tv-y7 show but still the way its framed at first
That reminds me, I made this thread a while back, and it probably qualifies.

Anyway, in that thread someone posted this nightmare fuel of a show, which qualifies even more.

I remember this and think of this song to this day. Truly holding out hope that we get a renewal someday like Samurai Jack.
A lot of stuff in here is the ol innuendo joke, educational stuff like Magic School Bus or just really dark cartoons like Watership Down but this stands out to me as full on acknowledgment of the sexual nature to what it was doing to with no grey area/ humor cause it was a plot point for their relationship and the development of her character moving forward.
(Totally Spies DID make kinks the driving force behind their shows conflicts often enough but doesn't address it)
It's not exactly well known that Mark Twain was the kind of dude who said "Christianity will survive ten centuries hence - stuffed and on display at a museum."
That episode has legit horror movie shit in it.Three pages and no mention of the most demented episodes of Punky Brewster? For shame. This two-parter was deeply unsettling and had Punky battling skeletons, creepy ghosts, and a giant freaking spider.
Watch it for yourself here.
I laugh at Dad's evil laugh at the end, as if acknowledging that "yes, we managed to pass that reference from the censors."
Also, this is probably the skimpiest swimsuit to show up in a show for kids. And that's among the "male gaze" moments in EMH. There's even some brief gainxing!

This was what I was thinking about when I saw the thread. Unlike many of the examples here, Hilda's a show with a cute, soft, and innocent style, with little edge or innuendo. It's very much an unabashed children's show, albeit one that is respectful with the audience.
So seeing an eleven year old killed by decapitation was... Uh... Not what I was expecting.
Watching this again for the first time in awhile... what the hell was the context for it?
Is this hell? Am I in hell?
I remember seeing that film on TV when I was a kid. That GIF is very very much only the beginning.Well this happens.
It's a children's film about the stories of Mark Twain. That segment is an adaptation of his story The Mysterious Stranger.
I figured I'd post the most gratuitous part but yeah it's something.
I truly believe that Sym-Bionic Titan scene only happened because Genndy had a lot of pull at CN. If it was anyone else, it probably would have been cut.
Gee, why would they just spend the most time on Wonder Woman getting faceblasted with that sticky liquid.
If we spray the male heroes first, no one can accuse of us of anything.
😏
Jesus christ I wouldn't know what to do if my kid asked me what bass to mouth means.
If I remember correctly, they're both students and he was supposed to be helping her study, but she was trying to convince him to do her homework for her.
Almost every episode of Totally Spies is some kind of fetish fuel.
This seems better in context. I think a lot of kids see comically large features as funny (there's the german women stock character with comically large breasts and a profound accent in a lot of kids works) and she's transforming. I don't think its all that sexual because kids know what breasts are and don't really view them that way until puberty.
If fact most of these seem fine... kids aren't gonna understand if their not old enough and a lot of times the jokes are explicitly for parents who watch with their kids. Most of these characters are also around the age when they'd start making blue jokes like these with their friends.
saying "these jokes /situations aren't for the kids they wouldnt get it" means you completely missed the point of the thread tho :P
They aired that shit on the Disney Channel. Messed me up when I was 6 or so.
Oh I think their funny threads and enjoy them. I just was saying I'm not a prude. I'm not against them.
Star Wars is supposed to be for kids, but it has the most decapitations, infanticide, genocide, slavery, and intergalactic banking I've ever seen.
I made a video about this and specifically about toys coming to life. Common trope i guess
Because it's not an episode. It was a joke video the production staff/cast made that didn't see the light of day until decades later.
Haha ok phew if something like that was released today, the Ofcom complaints would be in the thousands haha!
Actually speaking of transformations, She-Hulk has very.....suggestive one in the Hulk cartoon.
You might not be in the right demographic range to realize why it's such a, uhm.
Intriguing segment of animation.
Trust me, it got lots of kid's attention. And the only reason I rediscovered what the film actually was was because it got discussed on a furry art stream - because of people discussing what got them interested in the fandom, and other substantial aspects of their lives.
I might be projecting, but I know that "Two and two put together" situation isn't an isolated feeling.
Well well well. That is certainly something. The scenes probably aren't in the same episode, am I right? Please?
Totally Spies must have had the weirdest shit imaginable. I was actually more of a casual viewer, but never paid much attention to the detail.
Guess I'll add anything that involves the Marilyn Maneuver.
Case in point, one moment in Superman TAS when Lois Lane's skirt flies up because of Clark flying close behind her.
"I gotta start wearing some pants!"
And of course there is her memorable "Nice S" line.

Speaking of Superman TAS, how about the episode "The Late Mr. Kent" which twice shows a man about to be executed via gas chambers? First time the guy is innocent and Supes rescues him, sure, but second times its the actual bad guy, and he figures out that Clark is Superman right as the level to release the gas is pulled.
Not sure. They get tied up, hung upside down and/or sprayed with "goop" in a lot of episodes
Was Totally Spies actually a good show? The only time I see it come up is in the context of "edgy kids shows"
Totally Spies is fine. It was a guilty pleasure when I was a kid but I've seen a couple of episodes as an adult and the humor actually holds up better than expected. It is a shameless Charlie's Angels parody which is pretty cool.
