Personally, I dont think the show is taking jabs at dyslexia as much as it is just showing the naivety of Zach. He gets reprimanded by the end, which conveyed to me, as a young watcher when it initially came out, the weight of dyslexia and just how serious of a regard it should be held in. I definitely don't think this episode should've been banned.
Yeah I feel that, I think it’s definitely more that this episode was on “trying to be as clean as a whistle” Disney Channel that this episode got taken down. They don’t want any type of controversy over there
As someone with dyslexia I totally agree! I watched this episode around the time I found out I had it. There were kids in my school that were trying to do what Zach did and I appreciated the episode because of the end when Zach learns his lesson
Idk I have really bad dyslexia but I always found this episode funny I didn’t really feel like they were making fun of me. I just never understood why someone would fake a learning disability because the special Ed kids always got picked on constantly. I actually feel shake it up is lowkey worse with how they treat dyslexic characters cause they made the dumb character dyslexic. I know it’s because Bella is dyslexic in real life but it was still more in poor taste to me than this episode cause Zach is more the bit of joke here not bob.
Shake It Up was the first example of that Cici character getting any other traits other than being the dumb one. I feel as if they made it so that she faked being dumb to cover up her insecurity about her dyslexia, it could’ve worked so much better. Too bad Disney feels like they need dumb characters to act as foils to smart ones.
So I have dyslexia and like the end of it did kinda piss me off but what pisses me off more is that Bob has dyslexia and if my memory serves me right, Bob is treated like an idiot the rest of series which I find even more offensive.
it's like cece in shake it up, in the first season there's an episode about her having dyslexia and how this affects her in school but doesn't make her any less smart, and then in the rest of the show she just becomes stupid
Shop teacher calling his student a "Little Chiseler" is like me writing "What a little percussionist!" On the kid's music report card when they can't match pitch 😂
friend keep pushing with this videos. They are very well edited and you have a lot of charisma. The moment TH-cam starts recommending you, your channel will explode. Until then, keep pushing bro.
it definitely only aired twice. I remember it sticking out because it was the episode that introduced bob but they never showed it. the second time they aired it was when they were showing a marathon every episode of suite life
i'm rewatching all of suite life for the first time since disney+ came out and i gotta say a good 80% of the jokes still hold up and get a genuine chuckle out of me and i remembered this episode when i got to s2 and realized we were never introduced to bob i was like "hey why isn't the dyslexia episode here" and well now here i am
I definitely remember seeing this episode a few times on Disney Channel. I didn’t know they banned it. I don’t really think they were trying to poke fun at Dyslexia, Zack was just trying to get out of doing his schoolwork as usual
6:53 it's funny because in A Midsummer's Nightmare, an episode of the next season, Cody gets cast to play Bottom with Zack going "that part must stink!" 8:56 always wondered where'd this scene from the season 2 intro came from
I mean , I have so many memories of this episode it clearly wasn't banned soon enough. "I studied the box so hard." I remember that vividly as zack got caught perfectly reading the back of a videogame box.
7:20 Nah. I did really well the first half of ceramics when it was just an ash tray or a teacup. But that second half when we had to start making creative stuff like a puzzle mug or a fricken monster sculpture...... that's where the struggle began.
I absolutely remember this episode, I'm almost positive I seen it twice but I definitely caught it when it premiered and the b plot was the absolute best Esteban carried the episode I do have to say that I never thought it was a bad way to talk about dyslexia, definitely not as bad as Jessie where Zuri was literally throwing gluten at that poor kid lmao
This episode aired in Malaysia several times back then cause I remember the scene where Esteban immitates Mr Mosby so well I could recall every single thing he said. Wow
I had the episode recorded on the DVR and, truth be told, I liked the B and C plot. If the episode aired. I would just skip the the A plot. Even during the review I skipped the clips of the A plot. As someone who has learning difference the episode is just too difficult to sit through. Honestly, the episode doesn’t do a good job of explaining that that extra time and other accommodations only give the kids with learning differences a more even playing field with those who don’t. The accommodations aren’t there to make the kids with learning differences “life’s easier”. Even with accommodations, school is still difficult. The episode doesn’t even really show how hard it can be to go through school with a learning difference. Students and even teachers will sometimes treat you different than everyone else because it. Zach and the audience needed to see the real struggle these kids go through. It’s a daily struggle. I wish the episode showed this. It could have been a really good episode, if the proper care and tact was put forth.
I remember the dyslexia episode They ran it many times as a kid even on reruns. I never saw it as making fun of dyslexia I always saw it as Zack being lazy in yet another episode
i really don't see why its banned. i mean, characters can be shitty. thats the entire point of zach. but they could have explained dyslexia a bit more at the end and corrected zach that its not easy having it.
They did, Bob does a whole mini speech to contradict Zack right after he says it must be easy being dyslexic. I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in the video
I'm rewatching TSLOZAC on Disney+, and I didn't notice that 01x18 was missing. I kinda remember seeing this episode on Disney Channel, but I forgot it existed until now. Also, Maddie and London at 8:56 is in the Season 2 intro, and I didn't realize it was from this episode (for some reason, I thought it was in the episode Twins At the Tipton).
Not every single person with dyslexia was offended, but it did piss off a decent number of people for it to be only aired twice. At least Zack apologized in the end.
Okay. So, this is a thought I‘ve had for a while, because the fact that Zack‘s only seen as the dumb and lazy jerk in the show legit annoys me. I think there‘s a good chance that Zack has ADHD. He gets easily distracted, is always looking for fun things to stimulate him and has a really hard time focusing on his school work. A lot of people probably see him as someone who‘s not trying hard enough, but we‘re not really seeing things from his perspective. I hear him genuinely talk about how he is trying, but still struggling and I think of the same situation I was in at school. Now, we‘ve seen a lot of situations of him goofing off and so we‘re led to believe that he‘s just not trying. But, why is he goofing off instead of doing his work? I remember the reason I did that in school was because the work felt too hard and I much rather preferred to screw around all day instead of feeling stupid for not understanding anything. Now, he could also ask for help, but I don‘t think his support system is good enough for him to feel like he can ask for help. Both Carrie and Cody don‘t see Zack in a very good light and seem to think that Zack is genuinely an idiot. The rest of the characters seem to hold the same view of him outside of London probably. So, why would he want to ask for help from people who already see him as a lazy idiot anyway? He could get help from teachers, but he might see it as embarrassing to need the amount of help that he does. It could also be a situation where he‘s been through the whole tutoring thing already and it didn‘t do much for him. There‘s a chance that he might genuinely need an IEP. He overhears how Bob gets extra time on tests and he‘s in awe. All Zack is looking for is extra time on tests. Not a modified test. Not answers to cheat off of. Time. Out of all the things you could possibly give Zack to help him, extra time is the least unreasonable one. Again, it‘s a kid‘s sitcom, so they probably weren’t thinking about it all that much, but I can‘t help but get annoyed when Zack is showing clear signs of ADHD and is still just seen as a lazy dumbass.
I definitely remember seeing this episode as a kid before Disney banned it. I didn't even realize it was banned in the first place until I seen this video pop up. I can see why it was though. Even though the Estaban and Moseby parts were gold! I still laughed at them now. And I'm in my 20s! Funny stuff.
i LOVE your videos dude! can't believe you only have 2.78K subs! i have to say, i have VERY clear memories of this episode, but i don't even live in the states! if this got banned in the us, how in hell did it find its way to turkey?! either way, i'm not dyslexic but i definitely don't think this episode was handled THAT badly. you're not expected to agree with zack at any point anyway. i think i learned a lot about dyslexia just watching it as a kid. and that esteban-moseby b plot was absolutely unforgettable
I remember this episode well. I'm on the spectrum and at the time , this was the closest to somebody being "different " being represented until Arthur and Sesame Street years later . Also, why is the Chris Brown episode not banned ?
At least my country (Norway) had the guts to air this episode multiple times. I also don't see the episode making fun of people with dyslexia, but instead satirizing those who mock people with dyslexia (i.e. Zack) and acknowledges that this type of mockery is a problem
I VIVIDLY remember the Esteban scene with him doing the Moseby impression… I had to have seen it more than a few times. The strange thing is I don’t remember seeing the rest of this episode AT ALL. I was only 4 during season 1 so I may have just forgotten it, but is it possible that scene was repurposed for a future episode that I’m forgetting? I’m planning to rewatch the series soon, maybe I’ll find it.
7:33 to be completely fair and frankly honest though, chiseling and widdling are entirely different skillsets from the hammering and gluing type of woodwork, carpentry type woodwork requires math, a lot of math. whereas chiseling and widdling require an artistically inclined mind and a good mindseye to see what you're going to be doing before you do it it would be a bit like saying someone can't possibly know how to shuffle cards since they suck at poker, (because they can't count cards) it's just different skillsets =} I totally believe that this kid was really great at some parts of woodwork and god awful at others.
This episode definitely aired. I clearly remember seeing the part where Esteban did the impression of Mosbey. In fact, I think it must have been on tv at least a few times.
The episode isn’t terrible Definitely seen worse from Disney lol. I have a learning disability but I knew to never let a tv show offend me because I already knew that the rules they have set in sitcoms aren’t the same rules we have in the real world. People need to get ahold of themselves but maybe I’m just someone who doesn’t have a heart Who knows
I don't know about Disney Channel US but I live in the Philippines and I remember seeing the episode more than twice. Then again, I have coworkers based in the US who have said they remember things differently from myself and sometimes even my Indian and UK counterparts. Anyway, 14:23. Yes. I went out with a guy who has dyslexia and he's a really intelligent guy; his math is actually spot on and he had a great sense of humor. It's his language that sometimes made interesting conversations at times. I don't know if the episode should have been banned but the concept is fine and I agree with you that Esteban's scenes were golden (I still love it and I'm 28 now).
11:5912:0512:12 totally agree with you, my friend. We disabled learners do _not_ talk like 11:47. We are not wimps or pitiful losers. Just because we have learning disabilities, it doesn't mean it automatically cost us our dignity. I swear, people without LD's can be so shallow and superficial. Especially my boss. She's questioned me a few times for my mistakes and misinterpretations. And she was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. I'll admit, I am much better with a helping hand and guide, but come on, that's no excuse for being insensitive. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up for a one-person shift. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. I was mad at myself for not standing up to her, but then I compensated for it. My college's disability services was hosting a program to educate and prepare high schoolers in Special Ed, who were considering enrolling here. We caterers were serving the food, and every time I saw my boss talking to a high schooler, I would immediately go over there and either a. provide whatever excuse to get her somewhere else, or b, offer _my_ help to the kid. My boss eventually concluded that I was deliberately trying to keep her away from the Special Ed students, and she insisted I tell her what was going on. I "reluctantly admitted" I was trying to prevent her from potentially saying anything offensive to the learning-disabled kids. How I wasn't sure she would be 100% respectful; that I worried she might question them if they make any honest mistakes (well, honest to disabled learners, not the general population), even if unintentionally. When she expressed her offense at such a judgmental, faithless perspective, I basically 13:18: "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I was just trying to keep their feelings from getting hurt, just to be on the safe side. I mean, having a learning disability is tough, especially when others don't understand it and make the disabled feel less. They get looked down upon very easily, and I didn't want them to feel that way." I hope that made my boss feel bad. The woman who labeled and condescended gets labeled and condescended back.
Due to never having disney channel, I didn’t know about this show growing up. As an adult however, I have been watching it via some not-so-ethical methods and thus didn’t realise this episode was banned while watching it. It felt a little odd seeing it for the first time and I'm honesty not surprised it was banned.
Then British media I feel would not ban it since shows like Horrid Henry exist where the whole show beyond to silly plot-lines is about two children with abusive parents that both developed a complex over it
My boss practically insulted my learning disability. I mean, I never officially told her I had one, but she seems to see one in me; she thinks I'm incompetent and dependent on a guide.
I’ve seen this episode! That’s crazy. I think the reaction was overblown. It was a character doing a bad thing and he learns in the end that it was bad. It wasn’t making fun of anyone.
I just rewatched the whole series and I’m 21 for reference and I’ve definitely seen this banned episode many times when I was younger so their claim makes no since
You’re right, this episode had to have come on more than once cause I vividly remember it and I was 5 back then. So it had to have been aired at least a few times
I agree that Disney was right to ban the episode because Zack went WAY TOO FAR by faking dyslexia. Even for a 12 year old. I'll bet that, if someone Zack's age did the same thing in real life, he'd be expelled.
This is my first time ever learning about this episode so watching this video was a bit jarring but super fascinating. For some reason I do remember watching the Chris brown ep. Makes me wonder about the other banned episodes of Disney shows.
7:20 As someone who hasn't watched the show in years I'm gonna make a theory Yes, Cody does suck at woodshop, but he did whatever he could to still pass his class whether it be extra credit assignments or staying after school to redo some of them with his teacher. Therefore he still got an A and his teacher had to think of *something* positive to say about Cody so they said "What a little chiseler." This is how I passed my Basic Drawing class in high school that was required for my art credit. My teacher even said that I was the literally worst artist he'd ever met and that I could never draw something good. I know drawing's hard for me but he didn't have to keep shouting at me and yanking my hand to make me draw the way he wants :( Anyways, theory and trauma dump over.
They also banned the Episode that featured The Cheetah Girls and Chris Brown due to Chris Brown subsequent criminal history. Particularly his 2009 arrest for assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna.
I rmbr watching this episode a couple of times. Censorship/restrictions for children shows is a lot more lenient in Canada than USA so i wonder if the episode is only banned in America
Thank you so much, that means a lot! I hope I get to 1k soon too, it’s been a long time coming haha! I’m also so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed my videos, thank you!
but cece had dislexia in Shake It Up which was taken in serious light , unlike what zack and cody did , can you talk about the other zack and cody episode when cody is trying to make chef paulio eat heathly
You either didn't watch that episode of Hannah montanah you're talking about or you missed the point entirely. Thst crap about Oliver being a sugar hungry freak and dying never happened. It was imaginary. Miley and Lillie were over reacting and the entire lesson of the episode was that they should calm down learn about the problem before pulling shit and most importantly trust the person with the condition to know how to handle their own condition.
I know I did a pretty poor job of articulating what I meant in this video, so I’ll try and clear things up. What I meant to say is that they filmed a version of that episode where Miley and Lillie don’t understand diabetes at all, but they ended up having to redo the episode before it aired because it wasn’t received well, thus the episode being “banned.” The episode that we all saw on Disney Channel was the better version, at least that’s what I gathered from my research while making this video. So yes, the stuff about Oliver being a sugar hungry freak never happened in the episode that aired, it seemingly happened in the version of that episode that was scrapped. Hopefully that cleared things up and thanks for watching my video regardless!
@@AlecComes Yeah, No Sugar Sugar is the one that didn't air, but it had early-released to some video-on-demand services and the way they did it in the original cut had a myriad of inaccuracies in it that were actually so bad that some kids with diabetes who watched it cried because they felt like their favorite show was making fun of them. (I knew of the forum this came up on at the time so I heard this stuff in real time back when it happened.) The complaints got its original airing canceled and there was fallout in which at least one really annoying fan showed up to berate the parents for complaining. In both versions the basic plot from Miley and Lily is the same, but in the original there's a lot more inaccuracy and slapstick and little to no correcting from Oliver at the end. Uptight (Oliver's Alright), which premiered a year later and wasn't banned, was retooled specifically to fix stuff like that.
I feel like a lot of the xenophobic jokes that Disney made could've worked better if they wherent xenophobic and possibly racist but instead jokes about the then known as "health nut hippy parents types" who where into conspiracy theories, in other words antivaxers. because I remember seeing those types get made fun of in the late 2000s, 2010s even and frankly rubbing a fat chicken on your chest reminds me heavily of those posts about potatoes sucking out toxins and turning black like sure it might be kinda shitty to make fun of people for being duped, and terrified of medical staff, but basically anything is better than xenophobia and racism
Zach should have faked having ADHD and then they find out he actually has it. That would have been a good episode. However the synopsis of this episode strikes me more as Zack-partakes-in-modern-day- Tom- Sawyer- esque- shenanigans.
Wait there was another episode that I didn’t watch it was about London want to water to be study and Maddie wanted to be fat but that episode was it talking what is that you did it bad that one bandit that one because what we deleted others but why did you didn’t delete that one I still still airing
![กี่หมื่นฟ้า | Your Sky Series EP.1 [2/4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qJbQs_nhjD4/mqdefault.jpg)
I wouldn't be surprised if Zach actually did need accommodations for ADHD or something like that. More time could have helped him with his grades.
This. It would not surprise me if Zack has adhd
Personally, I dont think the show is taking jabs at dyslexia as much as it is just showing the naivety of Zach. He gets reprimanded by the end, which conveyed to me, as a young watcher when it initially came out, the weight of dyslexia and just how serious of a regard it should be held in.

This is the same company that thinks Song of the South is racist despite Uncle Remus being the wisest and nicest character in the movie.

I honestly agree with u on this being dyslexic and nd myself
I've seen that episode but why is this banned but not that but I mean I guess that they couldn't take down the first shake it up episode
@@violetquartz8817 I have Disabilities to I have Autism and Dysbracsia and trates of Dyslexia.
So I have dyslexia and like the end of it did kinda piss me off but what pisses me off more is that Bob has dyslexia and if my memory serves me right, Bob is treated like an idiot the rest of series which I find even more offensive.

I will, thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement, it means so much, you have no idea!
So basically, Zack turned into a family friendly Eric Cartman in this episode LMAO
Yeah, a much more tamer Cartman haha!
it definitely only aired twice. I remember it sticking out because it was the episode that introduced bob but they never showed it. the second time they aired it was when they were showing a marathon every episode of suite life
I definitely remember this episode, probably because I was obsessed and watched each show on its first air date 😂
Definitely remember watching this episode. Not the dyslexia plot, but definitely the Mr. Moseby and Esteban bits.
i'm rewatching all of suite life for the first time since disney+ came out and i gotta say a good 80% of the jokes still hold up and get a genuine chuckle out of me and i remembered this episode when i got to s2 and realized we were never introduced to bob i was like "hey why isn't the dyslexia episode here" and well now here i am

I remember the Zack and Cody's Dyslexia episode in my country. Sure it was more than 10 years ago but i remember seeing more than once.
i really don't see why its banned. i mean, characters can be shitty. thats the entire point of zach. but they could have explained dyslexia a bit more at the end and corrected zach that its not easy having it.

I'm glad that Cody was calling out Zack for what he was doing, and Cody was showing what Zack was doing is very immoral.
I never realized the iconic Esteban Moseby scene was in this episode smh
I'm rewatching TSLOZAC on Disney+, and I didn't notice that 01x18 was missing. I kinda remember seeing this episode on Disney Channel, but I forgot it existed until now.
Also, Maddie and London at 8:56 is in the Season 2 intro, and I didn't realize it was from this episode (for some reason, I thought it was in the episode Twins At the Tipton).
The banned episode of Degrassi is kinda iconic
This is so crazy because I remember this episode so well, especially the Moseby losing his voice bit. Like so vivdly
This Episode really Didn't Offend People with Dyslexia!
Not every single person with dyslexia was offended, but it did piss off a decent number of people for it to be only aired twice. At least Zack apologized in the end.
I wonder if you'll go into discussion of the 'Shake It Up' episode when we find out that CeCe (Bella Thorne) has dyslexia?
LOL, the only Asian stereotype London got was being good at strategy games. and even then it was because it was against Maddie.
That's not really an Asian stereotype, though.
I have vivid memories of this episode showing on Disney channel in Nigeria. Also the Esteban Mosbey scene is all over the internet
Okay. So, this is a thought I‘ve had for a while, because the fact that Zack‘s only seen as the dumb and lazy jerk in the show legit annoys me. I think there‘s a good chance that Zack has ADHD.

4:53-4:56 the most worrisome part about this is that this is a precursor to all those teens faking illness on tik tok for clout 🙄😑
People faking illnesses and disorders for attention, clout, pity, whatever has been around for a long time.
I remember that episode and I was wondering why Disney Channel hardly played it 🤔

Wow, thought I was watching a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers
Keep it up
Just so you know, this just got recommended to me! I'm addicted to your our channel now, keep it up
I remember this episode well. I'm on the spectrum and at the time , this was the closest to somebody being "different " being represented until Arthur and Sesame Street years later . Also, why is the Chris Brown episode not banned ?
At least my country (Norway) had the guts to air this episode multiple times. I also don't see the episode making fun of people with dyslexia, but instead satirizing those who mock people with dyslexia (i.e. Zack) and acknowledges that this type of mockery is a problem
I VIVIDLY remember the Esteban scene with him doing the Moseby impression… I had to have seen it more than a few times. The strange thing is I don’t remember seeing the rest of this episode AT ALL. I was only 4 during season 1 so I may have just forgotten it, but is it possible that scene was repurposed for a future episode that I’m forgetting? I’m planning to rewatch the series soon, maybe I’ll find it.
Hope people find you somehow, too low views for the quality content you make
We need to see you react to more of these banned episodes because this was such a funny reaction. You're extremely funny 💖
3:02 it's the exact opposite if anything
11:12 more time doesn't make it any more possible to figure out something you haven't been taught
7:33 to be completely fair and frankly honest though, chiseling and widdling are entirely different skillsets from the hammering and gluing type of woodwork, carpentry type woodwork requires math, a lot of math. whereas chiseling and widdling require an artistically inclined mind and a good mindseye to see what you're going to be doing before you do it
it would be a bit like saying someone can't possibly know how to shuffle cards since they suck at poker, (because they can't count cards) it's just different skillsets =}
I totally believe that this kid was really great at some parts of woodwork and god awful at others.
This episode definitely aired. I clearly remember seeing the part where Esteban did the impression of Mosbey. In fact, I think it must have been on tv at least a few times.
yup
If they got this episode banned then why didn't they ban episode 1 season 1 of Shake it up for there Dyslexia episode.
Because that show's portrayal of dyslexia was more emotional and respectful than this
The episode isn’t terrible
Definitely seen worse from Disney lol.
I have a learning disability but I knew to never let a tv show offend me because I already knew that the rules they have set in sitcoms aren’t the same rules we have in the real world.
People need to get ahold of themselves but maybe I’m just someone who doesn’t have a heart
Who knows
What do you mean by get ahold of yourself?
oh i definetly remember watching mosbey's lost voice episode
I don't know about Disney Channel US but I live in the Philippines and I remember seeing the episode more than twice. Then again, I have coworkers based in the US who have said they remember things differently from myself and sometimes even my Indian and UK counterparts.
Anyway, 14:23. Yes. I went out with a guy who has dyslexia and he's a really intelligent guy; his math is actually spot on and he had a great sense of humor. It's his language that sometimes made interesting conversations at times.
I don't know if the episode should have been banned but the concept is fine and I agree with you that Esteban's scenes were golden (I still love it and I'm 28 now).
11:59 12:05 12:12 totally agree with you, my friend. We disabled learners do _not_ talk like 11:47. We are not wimps or pitiful losers. Just because we have learning disabilities, it doesn't mean it automatically cost us our dignity. I swear, people without LD's can be so shallow and superficial. Especially my boss. She's questioned me a few times for my mistakes and misinterpretations. And she was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. I'll admit, I am much better with a helping hand and guide, but come on, that's no excuse for being insensitive. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up for a one-person shift. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. I was mad at myself for not standing up to her, but then I compensated for it.
My college's disability services was hosting a program to educate and prepare high schoolers in Special Ed, who were considering enrolling here. We caterers were serving the food, and every time I saw my boss talking to a high schooler, I would immediately go over there and either a. provide whatever excuse to get her somewhere else, or b, offer _my_ help to the kid. My boss eventually concluded that I was deliberately trying to keep her away from the Special Ed students, and she insisted I tell her what was going on. I "reluctantly admitted" I was trying to prevent her from potentially saying anything offensive to the learning-disabled kids. How I wasn't sure she would be 100% respectful; that I worried she might question them if they make any honest mistakes (well, honest to disabled learners, not the general population), even if unintentionally. When she expressed her offense at such a judgmental, faithless perspective, I basically 13:18: "I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I was just trying to keep their feelings from getting hurt, just to be on the safe side. I mean, having a learning disability is tough, especially when others don't understand it and make the disabled feel less. They get looked down upon very easily, and I didn't want them to feel that way." I hope that made my boss feel bad. The woman who labeled and condescended gets labeled and condescended back.
This was absolutely hilarious, you are severely underrated. Also I can't believe I never knew about this episode, or at least barely remember it!
Due to never having disney channel, I didn’t know about this show growing up. As an adult however, I have been watching it via some not-so-ethical methods and thus didn’t realise this episode was banned while watching it. It felt a little odd seeing it for the first time and I'm honesty not surprised it was banned.
Then British media I feel would not ban it since shows like Horrid Henry exist where the whole show beyond to silly plot-lines is about two children with abusive parents that both developed a complex over it
@senritsujumpsuit6021 My little brother has been watching that, both me and my Mum want to kick all the adults in that show good lord
Underrated channel
did they reuse the esteban and moseby parts in a different episode? for some reason i vividly remember those scenes
My boss practically insulted my learning disability. I mean, I never officially told her I had one, but she seems to see one in me; she thinks I'm incompetent and dependent on a guide.
Reminds me of the South Park episode where cartman pretends to have Tourette syndrome to be able to swear without people getting mad at him
bruh XD
He’s so Eric cartman in this episode😭😭
Bob at the end was hysterical
I’ve seen this episode! That’s crazy. I think the reaction was overblown. It was a character doing a bad thing and he learns in the end that it was bad. It wasn’t making fun of anyone.
Big wins for the diabetes community in this video
I really like the "Hat of Revenge" skit you did.
I knew this episode existed!
I just rewatched the whole series and I’m 21 for reference and I’ve definitely seen this banned episode many times when I was younger so their claim makes no since
You’re right, this episode had to have come on more than once cause I vividly remember it and I was 5 back then. So it had to have been aired at least a few times
If you keep making these videos, you’ll definitely blow up! You were in my recommended!
I remember this episode maybe the whole dyslexia thing went over my head cuz I always just remembered the Estaban part “Oh pish-posh!!”🤣🤣🤣
I agree that Disney was right to ban the episode because Zack went WAY TOO FAR by faking dyslexia. Even for a 12 year old. I'll bet that, if someone Zack's age did the same thing in real life, he'd be expelled.
This is my first time ever learning about this episode so watching this video was a bit jarring but super fascinating. For some reason I do remember watching the Chris brown ep. Makes me wonder about the other banned episodes of Disney shows.
I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE!
7:20 As someone who hasn't watched the show in years I'm gonna make a theory
Yes, Cody does suck at woodshop, but he did whatever he could to still pass his class whether it be extra credit assignments or staying after school to redo some of them with his teacher. Therefore he still got an A and his teacher had to think of *something* positive to say about Cody so they said "What a little chiseler."
This is how I passed my Basic Drawing class in high school that was required for my art credit. My teacher even said that I was the literally worst artist he'd ever met and that I could never draw something good. I know drawing's hard for me but he didn't have to keep shouting at me and yanking my hand to make me draw the way he wants :(
Anyways, theory and trauma dump over.
new fav channel
They also banned the Episode that featured The Cheetah Girls and Chris Brown due to Chris Brown subsequent criminal history. Particularly his 2009 arrest for assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna.
Pretty sure this episode was on netflix for a long time cause that’s the only way I ever watched the show and I vividly remember seeing it
I rmbr watching this episode a couple of times. Censorship/restrictions for children shows is a lot more lenient in Canada than USA so i wonder if the episode is only banned in America
love your videos!! hope you reach 1K subscribers soon and hopefully your channel will blow up because you're very underrated! :)
Thank you so much, that means a lot! I hope I get to 1k soon too, it’s been a long time coming haha! I’m also so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed my videos, thank you!
This Episode isn't that Terrible!
I have a pal with this disorder & I was born with a spinal disorder and NOW I CANNOT BELIEVE NICK GOT AWAY WITH THIS CRAP!!!
Zack thought he was Cartman in this episode
The Game of Charades was my favorite part of this episode
but cece had dislexia in Shake It Up which was taken in serious light , unlike what zack and cody did , can you talk about the other zack and cody episode when cody is trying to make chef paulio eat heathly
16:44 lately he's been dressing for revenge
You either didn't watch that episode of Hannah montanah you're talking about or you missed the point entirely.
Thst crap about Oliver being a sugar hungry freak and dying never happened. It was imaginary. Miley and Lillie were over reacting and the entire lesson of the episode was that they should calm down learn about the problem before pulling shit and most importantly trust the person with the condition to know how to handle their own condition.
I know I did a pretty poor job of articulating what I meant in this video, so I’ll try and clear things up. What I meant to say is that they filmed a version of that episode where Miley and Lillie don’t understand diabetes at all, but they ended up having to redo the episode before it aired because it wasn’t received well, thus the episode being “banned.” The episode that we all saw on Disney Channel was the better version, at least that’s what I gathered from my research while making this video. So yes, the stuff about Oliver being a sugar hungry freak never happened in the episode that aired, it seemingly happened in the version of that episode that was scrapped. Hopefully that cleared things up and thanks for watching my video regardless!
@@AlecComes Yeah, No Sugar Sugar is the one that didn't air, but it had early-released to some video-on-demand services and the way they did it in the original cut had a myriad of inaccuracies in it that were actually so bad that some kids with diabetes who watched it cried because they felt like their favorite show was making fun of them. (I knew of the forum this came up on at the time so I heard this stuff in real time back when it happened.) The complaints got its original airing canceled and there was fallout in which at least one really annoying fan showed up to berate the parents for complaining.
In both versions the basic plot from Miley and Lily is the same, but in the original there's a lot more inaccuracy and slapstick and little to no correcting from Oliver at the end. Uptight (Oliver's Alright), which premiered a year later and wasn't banned, was retooled specifically to fix stuff like that.
Fudgeamania we can't stop!
not love handles being compared to a learning disability 😭😭
perfect dark humor
I remember the Smart &. Smarter episode but not the other
First video I've ever watched of you and i wasn't expecting to see you shaking ass at the DELI, he shaking it like JELLY! GYATT DAYUM.
i learned to twerk just to do it for the bit in this video, 100% honest
Amazing@@AlecComes
I swear that I watched that episode on Disney plus
I swear I just watched that episode last year on disney plus ??????
Is there any place to watch it?
Not any legitimate way, but I found the episode on daily motion.
So funny enough, I actually did watch this... on demand, during a summer of like 2016-2017 or something
I feel like a lot of the xenophobic jokes that Disney made could've worked better if they wherent xenophobic and possibly racist but instead jokes about the then known as "health nut hippy parents types" who where into conspiracy theories, in other words antivaxers. because I remember seeing those types get made fun of in the late 2000s, 2010s even and frankly rubbing a fat chicken on your chest reminds me heavily of those posts about potatoes sucking out toxins and turning black
like sure it might be kinda shitty to make fun of people for being duped, and terrified of medical staff, but basically anything is better than xenophobia and racism
Zach should have faked having ADHD and then they find out he actually has it. That would have been a good episode. However the synopsis of this episode strikes me more as Zack-partakes-in-modern-day- Tom- Sawyer- esque- shenanigans.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this episode before but only because someone uploaded it to TH-cam
Wait there was another episode that I didn’t watch it was about London want to water to be study and Maddie wanted to be fat but that episode was it talking what is that you did it bad that one bandit that one because what we deleted others but why did you didn’t delete that one I still still airing
I remember when this episode aired.
