wooo i didnt remember stoved... but i can remember an scene where a character put the boxer of other, and we he ask if he want it back, say "i dont whant my guys in something where your guy where inside" or something like that, and it was really funny for a 10 years old me... thanks for remember me that series bro
I wonder if this is the same studio who made that other cartoon comedy The Dating Guy? They look very similar and even the Mall Cop in 6Teen and the cop in The Dating Guy sound like the same voice actor. 16:27 And they even made a "Zombie Episode" where zombies take over the mall. Not sure if that was banned in The States also I am serious they did make an episode where people turned into zombies. LOL
I feel like Nicki was more grunge/alternative than goth. The goths in the show were more to the archetype. Also I grew up with this as a Canadian so got all the episodes and I knew this was the last one the first time I saw it. I think they advertised it that way on Teletoon. Out of all the shows my brother and I watched as kids, this is probably the one we watched the most together on purpose.
@@SlitWristMisfit_ She was called poser because because it was the early 2000s where goth and scene kids wanted to gatekeep alt culture. Gatekeeping in the alt community is still pretty common, but more alt subcultures are being accepted and recognized as their own thing.
either twenty six or like, 9teen or something. for 8teen/9teen to work they’d probably need to add 2 or 3 new characters to the group but if they ever had a revival like clone high but like, not ass, it would be pretty cool idk
this is one of my comfort shows, its so nostalgic with its y2k mall atmosphere and 2000s references, somehow simultaneously wholesome and edgy, it has really strong story and character development, and yeah, its just so comfy to me.
6Teen was definitely one of the best shows that aired on CN back in the day. While Total Drama fell out of favor fast with how bad it gotten, 6Teen stayed consistent and pretty on track for what it wanted to be. It had a lot of fun moments and really made it feel like being 16 was going to be an amazing thing. Sadly when I was 16, that wasn't the case, but oh well. It really was a comfort show. It also handled relationships and connections and all the teen drama really well. Though I can't forgive them for breaking up Jude and Starr thou. I know what they were going for with Starr, but man, her last appearance really made me upset.
Yeah Starr made me kinda sad but it also felt pretty real in a way. I’ll definitely give 6teen credit tor all the moments that made me sad or upset were because they were real in a way
Yeah I'm 16 at the time of this comment and I gotta say it's not like the best thing in the world at all 😂. In some aspects yeah its fine but most others not so much..
As a Canadian kid, I ALSO did not know it was the END end- and I have to say I was Not Okay. Always love you 6teen, flaws and all. Forever creating unrealistic expectations of highschool and friends lol
I’ve loved Nelvana’s work since I was a kid. Even when 6teen came out, I was in my mid-twenties and now I’m forty four. You hit all the highlights 6teen had and why I miss it so much now. It was the perfect mixture of heart, drama, humor and stellar writing.
You didn't miss out on much buddy. My friends and I had access to a mall with an arcade and food court and we may have gone once or twice a year. Everyone's experience is different, but it was kinda meh
I cannot believe there are episodes I missed bc it was banned in the USA. I would’ve never know this if I hadnt clicked this vid. Thank you so much, & Im still tryin to find my way 22 years later
It was great not having banned episodes in Canada. Loved the show as a kid when it came out and still now as an adult, and Jonesy is my favourite character
what i remember from the show is how the episode "The List" was originally about Jen, Nikki and Catilin finding Jonesy's list of girls rank 1-100 and while Nikki is 1 and Catilin is 17, Jen learned that she not on the list and she spent the entire episode trying to get him to put her on the list, despite them being step siblings.
I like your video! One note: the background music is distractingly loud and makes it hard to focus on your words. I had no idea the US banned episodes. Makes sense since it happens all the time, I just never thought about it. I'm gonna go watch all the ones I missed out on, thanks!
Not in Canada, In Edmonton Alberta Teens have become such a problem they have now banned kids under 16 from being in the mall without someone of legal age and that legal adult can take 6 people under 16 into the mall. The legal age is 18 in Alberta, that means drinking and gambling too. Edit: The Mall I’m talking about is West Edmonton Mall
As someone who’s worked in a mall between 2020 and 2021 this is very much untrue. I saw teens come into Forever 21 all the time and while a lot of the other stores are more expensive/upscale, they still have stores targeted to younger people like BoxLunch and places that are just full of anime gatcha machines. It all kinda depends on the specific mall!
@@gemstone108 I was a slide attendant and life guard at the water park when I was 19, it was great. The also had a thing called rock and ride at the theme park, it was like a huge dance for anyone under 18.
when i was younger i know i wouldn't have been able to watch shows like 6teen and braceface for example because of the unrelenting shame and feeling like i'm somehow broken for not having these experiences but now that im a little older its nice to kind of live through these moments without the pain and still getting to see all the stuff that can happen
I discovered this show when I was in my early to mid 20s after I made a comic years prior that was kind of similar to it in theme. I'm Canadian and now live in Toronto. I've actually met a few of the voice actors you've mentioned and some of the creators of the show at comic conventions. I also heard the mall was inspired by the Eaton's centre in Toronto. It has a large fountain similar to the one in the show. Also, apparently, there were a few writers that would watch teens and youths in that mall to study them for show plots. I read that somewhere but have never asked how true those last facts are. Great video! I rarely see anyone talking about this series and it was a fun show, even though I was hoping for a more satisfying ending, but you can't please everyone. 🤷♀️
Everything you’ve mentioned is true as far as I know! Thanks for sharing, and yeah the ending made me feel sad at first, but it’s kinda turned into one of my favorite endings of a cartoon
@Colby2D Yeah, there are some shows that ended that I've disliked at first, but eventually, I grew to like them. I think it's just human nature to hate watching something you love end, especially if you're not ready for it or had a different ending in mind. At least we can rewatch it if we're not ready to accept the ending.
I love Nelvana, they've done a lot of great stuff- including co-making to make 6teen. To be more accurate though 6teen, Total Drama, and Stoked are made by Fresh TV. Nelvana had nothing to do with the latter two shows (as far as I can tell anyway). ^^ Really enjoyed the video
Oh yeah, thank you for the clarification! I think I crossed some wires of the research with nelvana purchasing the animation software, versus hello fresh working on all the shows. Thanks for watching!!
6teen was on Netflix like years ago which is how I was introduced to the show, me and my brother watched as preteens and absolutely loved it. Now I’m in my early twenties and all my buds from high school I don’t even talk to anymore…but I can say watching that show is one of the reasons at 16 I put myself out there at school and work and had fun, nothing exactly like the show but definitely my own spinoff.
This show really impacted me as a kid growing up in small town canada. I wanted this kind of life so badly but we didn’t have a mall. It is still kind of bitter sweet to look back on it. Now that I’m an adult with a career I don’t yearn for this life but I kind of yearn for memories as if I had had this life.
I can definitely relate, several years ago when all of 6teen episodes were uploaded on TH-cam, there were quite a few episodes that made me think "I don't remember this episode". But after finding out that the episodes I couldn't remember were actually banned, on one hand I wish that I got to see the episodes while the show was airing. But on the other hand, I felt relieved finding out those episodes were banned, because I felt like I losing my mind thinking "How does this not ring a bell? How can I not remember?" 😂
I remember watching this show as a kid, so happy and looking foward to becoming 16... then I started getting in to alcohol and lost all memories from age 15-19. Remembered this show recently and it just brought immense sadness thinking about what COULD have been but also definetly wouldnt of been.
As I’m sorry to hear that💙 thank you for sharing that with me, and thank you for checking out this video. A big part of making these is for the nostalgia and memories I have with them, so if there’s any shows you’d like to see me cover in the future I’m always open for suggestions
I totally forgot about this show yet I have a distinct memory of one of the episodes. Too damn bad my high school years definitely didn't look like this.
I was 17 when the last episode came out, pretty much was smack down in the target audience, and I loved the show. Weird hearing clips from it in English (French Canadian here) but those were good times.
I remember when this show dropped the first episode i think it was like super late at night which is was weird because adult swim should of already been on but 6 teen came on instead and it was honestly a really good show
I knew this was the last season/episode going in, but it must have been wild for those who didn't. Jen was probably my favorite, but that could be because Meghan Fahlenbock is so awesome. :)
Jen is my favorite too! I have to put jonesy above him on the tier list just because of how unique he is in a way but I always love the voice of reason characters the most in shows. I think that’s why I like Wyatt a lot too
Canadian, loved 6 Teen for its nostalgia. As a Teen who worked in Malls it it hit a lot of points. Nelvana is known for its subtlety (when it want to) and sliding in elements that appeal to kids and Adults. And I'm sure you've heard this before in the comments: Nikki is not a Goth she's an Alt. Great vidi
That’s really cool to hear, thank you for sharing your story! I was 16 in the early 2010s and malls were still decently popular in the US, but online shopping took a lot of the need away, and the malls near me became a bit sketchy at that time for a multitude of reasons. 6teen didn’t give me the desire to go to the mall as much as it just made me think “wow chilling with friends is so cool” but stoked absolutely made me want to just become a surfer and it’s almost embarrassing to look back on lol
Fun fact, my parents used to play soccer with the voice actor who did jonsey and chris from tdi! He did a bunch of other shows but those are the only ones i remember - i still remember being 13ish and watching this episode it made me so sad with the emotions at the end i still get sad when i think back to how sad it made me feel lol im now 22 and haven’t had a connection to a show like i had with this one since
I remember being a little kid and begging my mom to delay my bedtime for an hour so I could watch the first episode of this show. I loved it. I think about it quite a bit, and I’m glad others feel the same and look back on it fondly.
As a Canadian who grew up in the 2000s, I cannot express enough how crucial this show was to my formative years. To date, it's my favourite childhood show and the knowledge that it was going to end devastated me at the time. It was the perfect show at the perfect time. We may never see its kind again.
Loved this show as a kid. You described it perfectly as a more wholesome show among the edgy cartoons like family guy, while also addressing mature topics. As a Canadian, I feel for all the Americans who missed out on so many great episodes
Yeah hearing the production notes was really interesting to see, like the popularity of adult swim. I think some of the episodes aired at least once in the us but yeah it would’ve been nice to have seen the others at the time!
I go to sleep with this show since I can picture everything, and it calms me! I've rewatch the episodes so many times and I just need a physical copy of it. I hope they reboot it one day!
It is really nice they have one of the characters not part of the group already, and for the first season they do kinda treat Caitlyn like a little bit of an outsider which was really interesting
Being from Canada, I remember some of the episodes you mentioned being banned in the US, and thought nothing weird of them at the time. I never realized that they'd be bannable in the US! lol
This show has always been a personal favorite for me and I've loved everything this company has put out I've never heard of stoked def gonna check that out over summer
If you love 6teen and total drama, you’ll loved stoked. It’s my least favorite of the three, but it was so cool and fresh when it came out and is really fun. Perfect summertime show
6teen was my comfort show. too. I am Canadian by birth and still living in Canada and probably always will unless I choose to move to Iceland or Ireland but I will live in this country. in 2004, as a little kid, when this came out, I enjoyed it alot. I enjoyed watching it on Teletoon which it aired on in my province of Ontario like Total Drama Islands and Stoked. Teletoon and YTV were the main two channels that were the best in the 90's and early 2000's. It started to get alternated in the 2010 zone and by 2019 it completely changed out in cartoon style from the shows I loved to things that made no sense as to why kids would like it. And as a 90's kid, that means it was too clean and too dumbed down for taste. But 6teen was my thing. I was a kid and when I got into my teens around 2009, I still loved 6teen as it helped shaped me into the teenager I was, even though I was in my alternative eco goth "phase". Which I never believe was a phase because, while 29 turning 30 this year, I am still goth and always will be. I was sad when it ended with the season final in 2010 but was happy that till 2018 that it kept airing reruns and such until it finally stopped airing all together. I saw 8teen on youtube and gotta say, it felt...forced and it felt like a parody but I still enjoyed seeing the characters and VAs back.
Thank you for your comment, that’s all really interesting to hear. A lot of the teletoon shows from the 2000s were really interesting, there was a lot of overlap with Cartoon Network, but the shows that didn’t air in the US all seemed really unique and interesting and fortunately nowadays Im able to check them out more online. And yeah the vote dude special did seem pretty forced, I feel like a slightly more mature reboot could work, if it landed somewhere between the original show and the voting special, or just more like the original would be fine with me too, it never really felt like it dumbed itself down, and that was a core aspect of the shows creation, competing with shows like family guy that kids watched because it didn’t dumb itself down for them
@@Colby2D it kinda feels odd to me how some shows we have in Canada doesn't air or get banned and therefore doesn't get aired in America due to being "risky" as you mentioned. which i find odd because you would think America would be no stranger to dark or inappropriate humor for some cartoons. even mild ones. like the stuff here in Canada to me is pretty tamed. But I guess that is just my 90's sense of mind as I was raised around that stuff, no censoring of humor or risky stuff as they would call it. Heck, my generation had Teletubbies for crying out loud and that stuff is nightmare fuel yet kids back then, besides me, loved that show. And don't get me started on what commercials were like back then, they are a whole another category of weirdness.
All the episodes that was banned in the USA we got to see them in Canada and tbh it wasn’t bad as a kid it made me understand these more mature topics a bit better
Yeah great Canadian production. Met the guy that voices Jude, he goes to a lot of cons here in Canada. Awesome show for sure, still holds up very well.
@@Colby2D ohh I see it’s a little past my time for cartoons then. I’m 28 now. I grew out of cartoons extra fast though, because I work in the film industry. Anyways, I’ve always preferred live action media over animation, probably why I fell into the film industry in the first place, but I was making TH-cam videos and trying to be a filmmaker in the late 2000s. When I was a teen lol
I was in highschool myself when the show debuted and so yeah, it really resonated with me. The thing that initially grabbed my attention was how it looked to have been done in Adobe illustrator oO
Beast Wars (Original 90'S cartoon) , ReBoot (90'S Cartoon not the reboot of it ) Shadow Raiders ( War planets ) are my favorite Canadian cartoons , all well written with age CGI Animation , but the characters are worth it , even when Beast Wars name was censored to Beasties ( due to Canada No war in the name law for shows ) , are still good kids media
i'm in canada and we did see all these episodes, and it really is stuff that teens do in real life but it didn't have a bad impact on me. i didnt start to want to date college guys when i became a teen, i didnt want to shoplift, i mean the episode is all about how you shouldnt do that... the world is becoming too censored and too sensitive
This show was perfection. Because characters actually acted like real teenagers. Even weebtoon or tv can’t really relate with and didn’t overload with adult topics.
Man 6Teen was so good, especially growing up in Canada all the “adult jokes” were hilarious, the sexual tension between Jonesy and *Jenifer as step siblings was insane. And it was one of the only cartoons to have a solid non abrupt definitive ending , which is refreshing. The acoustic version of the 6Teen theme song too was just perfect 👌🏿
Growing up as a Canadian online I was always told I lived in a dictatorship by Americans. (Meanwhile America banning kids TV shows for *dangerous ideology*) Also how you pronounced *Iqaluit* was very interesting. 😂 But then again Americans don't really know anything outside of America. Edit* remember brace face being another controversial show for Americans as well. (Same with Jacob two two)
Yeah American censors for shows are pretty odd, Canada definitely puts a lot more stock into animation, film and art. At least from the film board and stuff. And I tried my best with iqaluit, sorry lol
I think you’ll love stoked too. It’s got fresh aspects to it, but overall is my least favorite characters of the 3, but it’s cool, sweet, and has a great setting
I rewatched the show last year and i suggested a friend of mine she never got in on because she was into friends so we were parallel despite I'm 7 years older then her.
Not a bad break down of the show; you defiantly seem closer to in age to the target demographic than I was when it first started airing. Personally I liken 6Teen to being a more kid friendly version of Friends. The parallels between the two shows are pretty obvious in the clips and episodes referenced, but there's still enough originality to make its own. This also coexists with the teenage mall culture (which yes has always been a thing) with a lot of shows during that early 2000s was focusing on at the time in shows, and even call backs in more adult shows out at the time, ie: HIMYM episode Slap Bet (released in 2006) which introduced audiences to Robin Sparkles and her song Lets Go To The Mall.
Thank you I appreciate it, yeah it’s definitely pretty similar to friends, but there’s just something about the humor I gel with a lot more here, maybe it’s because they’re a lot more friendly in 6teen I feel, but mall culture of the mid 2000s was very interesting
Lol that is awesome! I think I was 13 and I’m glad I was because I don’t know if I would have given it the same chance when I was 16, even though I still love it to this day lol
Wyatt and Catalans accidental kiss episode where they felt fireworks when they kissed made my expectations so high for my first kiss. It wasn’t till 2012 where I got my first girlfriend and found the kiss lackluster. This show really set the expectations too high when I was kid. 😂
The show did a great job of making everything in life seem a little cooler than it actually as lol, but I feel like by the same extent the episode eventually turns it around to say it wasn’t a big deal sorta
Ah i loved stoked too! Memory unlocked! Didn't know there were a bunch of episodes banned here. I liked how it was more realistic for teens. Like I remember there was one episode where the purple haired girl was on a date with the guy at his house and she had to go #2 really bad but it was like their first date and so she's freaking out, and ends up clogging the toilet. it was a whole fiasco on that. American shows would never.
FUCK 6Teen it made me think my teen life would be cool and fun and going out to the mall in reality all i did was stay home hoooly fuck i wasted my life
Me and my sister loveedddd this show!! I used to think this is what being sixteen would be like and wanted to move to Canada😂 definitely rewatching this
I love the show. I have signed posters of Jude and the total drama host done by the voice actor. They're in an art storage tube to keep them safe long-term
I'd put Nikki in C tier. Throughout the show, she is seen hitting people (mostly Jonesy). She hits Jonesy in almost every episode and calls him & others stupid and talks down on men, suffering no consequences. If Jonesy was seen hitting her, everyone would FREAK OUT, but since the roles are reversed, no one seems to mind. Very strange and bad programming for young girls; making them think this is ok behavior. But she does have some funny moments.
I remember watching this airing on tv. It was always scattered, I had no idea that was the last episode. wtf, I kinda hate that it has a sad ending. Also, that makes two Canadian shows from my youth that end with someone moving away for their final episode. Not that unusual, still weird it happened twice

@Colby2D Yeah, there are some shows that ended that I've disliked at first, but eventually, I grew to like them. I think it's just human nature to hate watching something you love end, especially if you're not ready for it or had a different ending in mind. At least we can rewatch it if we're not ready to accept the ending.
I love Nelvana, they've done a lot of great stuff- including co-making to make 6teen. To be more accurate though 6teen, Total Drama, and Stoked are made by Fresh TV. Nelvana had nothing to do with the latter two shows (as far as I can tell anyway). ^^
Really enjoyed the video
Oh yeah, thank you for the clarification! I think I crossed some wires of the research with nelvana purchasing the animation software, versus hello fresh working on all the shows. Thanks for watching!!
This show had a great introduction. I remeber it was a zombie outbreak and now heres a whole show. That was just good zombie mall bit
it was all Judes dream
Zombies and malls are one of my favorite combinations next to peanut butter and jelly
6teen was on Netflix like years ago which is how I was introduced to the show, me and my brother watched as preteens and absolutely loved it. Now I’m in my early twenties and all my buds from high school I don’t even talk to anymore…but I can say watching that show is one of the reasons at 16 I put myself out there at school and work and had fun, nothing exactly like the show but definitely my own spinoff.
I never caught it on Netflix I wish I knew it was there haha
omg i’ve been rewatching 6teen, then this vid popped up. love it
It was fate. I’m glad you’re here!
This show really impacted me as a kid growing up in small town canada. I wanted this kind of life so badly but we didn’t have a mall.
It is still kind of bitter sweet to look back on it. Now that I’m an adult with a career I don’t yearn for this life but I kind of yearn for memories as if I had had this life.
I can definitely relate, several years ago when all of 6teen episodes were uploaded on TH-cam, there were quite a few episodes that made me think "I don't remember this episode". But after finding out that the episodes I couldn't remember were actually banned, on one hand I wish that I got to see the episodes while the show was airing. But on the other hand, I felt relieved finding out those episodes were banned, because I felt like I losing my mind thinking "How does this not ring a bell? How can I not remember?" 😂
Yeah there’s a lot of weird things like that and i watched pretty religiously so I was surprised each time I saw a “new” episode on TH-cam lol
I remember watching this show as a kid, so happy and looking foward to becoming 16... then I started getting in to alcohol and lost all memories from age 15-19. Remembered this show recently and it just brought immense sadness thinking about what COULD have been but also definetly wouldnt of been.
As I’m sorry to hear that💙 thank you for sharing that with me, and thank you for checking out this video. A big part of making these is for the nostalgia and memories I have with them, so if there’s any shows you’d like to see me cover in the future I’m always open for suggestions
I totally forgot about this show yet I have a distinct memory of one of the episodes. Too damn bad my high school years definitely didn't look like this.
I feel that, it made me kinda jealous too
I LOVED THIS SHOW AS A TEEN 😭 I kept on changing my crush on all of them all the time but Jude was always had my heart lol.
I was 17 when the last episode came out, pretty much was smack down in the target audience, and I loved the show. Weird hearing clips from it in English (French Canadian here) but those were good times.
I was a few years younger at the time, but I always appreciate how much the show still holds up the older I get
I remember when this show dropped the first episode i think it was like super late at night which is was weird because adult swim should of already been on but 6 teen came on instead and it was honestly a really good show
I know when 6teen was first airing in the US it played at 930pm, but nowadays adult swim starts at 8, which is kinda crazy lol
I knew this was the last season/episode going in, but it must have been wild for those who didn't.
Jen was probably my favorite, but that could be because Meghan Fahlenbock is so awesome. :)
Jen is my favorite too! I have to put jonesy above him on the tier list just because of how unique he is in a way but I always love the voice of reason characters the most in shows. I think that’s why I like Wyatt a lot too
Canadian, loved 6 Teen for its nostalgia. As a Teen who worked in Malls it it hit a lot of points. Nelvana is known for its subtlety (when it want to) and sliding in elements that appeal to kids and Adults. And I'm sure you've heard this before in the comments: Nikki is not a Goth she's an Alt. Great vidi
That’s really cool to hear, thank you for sharing your story! I was 16 in the early 2010s and malls were still decently popular in the US, but online shopping took a lot of the need away, and the malls near me became a bit sketchy at that time for a multitude of reasons. 6teen didn’t give me the desire to go to the mall as much as it just made me think “wow chilling with friends is so cool” but stoked absolutely made me want to just become a surfer and it’s almost embarrassing to look back on lol
I haven't thought of stoked in so long. Please make a video about it I promise to watch it many times
Ok I will🫡
Fun fact, my parents used to play soccer with the voice actor who did jonsey and chris from tdi! He did a bunch of other shows but those are the only ones i remember - i still remember being 13ish and watching this episode it made me so sad with the emotions at the end i still get sad when i think back to how sad it made me feel lol im now 22 and haven’t had a connection to a show like i had with this one since
I remember being a little kid and begging my mom to delay my bedtime for an hour so I could watch the first episode of this show. I loved it. I think about it quite a bit, and I’m glad others feel the same and look back on it fondly.
Did you stay up and get traumatized by the zombie episode? Because I hear a lot of people tell me this happened to them
As a Canadian who grew up in the 2000s, I cannot express enough how crucial this show was to my formative years. To date, it's my favourite childhood show and the knowledge that it was going to end devastated me at the time.
It was the perfect show at the perfect time. We may never see its kind again.
Loved this show as a kid. You described it perfectly as a more wholesome show among the edgy cartoons like family guy, while also addressing mature topics. As a Canadian, I feel for all the Americans who missed out on so many great episodes
Yeah hearing the production notes was really interesting to see, like the popularity of adult swim. I think some of the episodes aired at least once in the us but yeah it would’ve been nice to have seen the others at the time!
Max keebles big move is a movie I completely forgot about
It’s a classic for me🙂
my brother and i loved this show as a kid .. i remember when they announced the halloween special and we were looking forward to it all month haha
I go to sleep with this show since I can picture everything, and it calms me! I've rewatch the episodes so many times and I just need a physical copy of it. I hope they reboot it one day!
This show was pretty dope growing up. Ended my last year of high school 🥹
I love that this show started with an an entrance and ended with an exit. I remember full on sobbing when i was watching this air back in the day.
It is really nice they have one of the characters not part of the group already, and for the first season they do kinda treat Caitlyn like a little bit of an outsider which was really interesting
I wanna see a reboot of this show where they are as adults
I feel like the current clone high is kinda what it would play like
Being from Canada, I remember some of the episodes you mentioned being banned in the US, and thought nothing weird of them at the time. I never realized that they'd be bannable in the US! lol
Man this show was great. Thankfully grew up in Canada and got to see every episode
I think like half of the band episodes aired once in the US but it’s hard for me to get some solid evidence on what was actually banned and not
This show has always been a personal favorite for me and I've loved everything this company has put out
I've never heard of stoked def gonna check that out over summer
If you love 6teen and total drama, you’ll loved stoked. It’s my least favorite of the three, but it was so cool and fresh when it came out and is really fun. Perfect summertime show
6teen was my comfort show. too. I am Canadian by birth and still living in Canada and probably always will unless I choose to move to Iceland or Ireland but I will live in this country. in 2004, as a little kid, when this came out, I enjoyed it alot. I enjoyed watching it on Teletoon which it aired on in my province of Ontario like Total Drama Islands and Stoked. Teletoon and YTV were the main two channels that were the best in the 90's and early 2000's. It started to get alternated in the 2010 zone and by 2019 it completely changed out in cartoon style from the shows I loved to things that made no sense as to why kids would like it. And as a 90's kid, that means it was too clean and too dumbed down for taste. But 6teen was my thing. I was a kid and when I got into my teens around 2009, I still loved 6teen as it helped shaped me into the teenager I was, even though I was in my alternative eco goth "phase". Which I never believe was a phase because, while 29 turning 30 this year, I am still goth and always will be. I was sad when it ended with the season final in 2010 but was happy that till 2018 that it kept airing reruns and such until it finally stopped airing all together. I saw 8teen on youtube and gotta say, it felt...forced and it felt like a parody but I still enjoyed seeing the characters and VAs back.
Thank you for your comment, that’s all really interesting to hear. A lot of the teletoon shows from the 2000s were really interesting, there was a lot of overlap with Cartoon Network, but the shows that didn’t air in the US all seemed really unique and interesting and fortunately nowadays Im able to check them out more online. And yeah the vote dude special did seem pretty forced, I feel like a slightly more mature reboot could work, if it landed somewhere between the original show and the voting special, or just more like the original would be fine with me too, it never really felt like it dumbed itself down, and that was a core aspect of the shows creation, competing with shows like family guy that kids watched because it didn’t dumb itself down for them
@@Colby2D it kinda feels odd to me how some shows we have in Canada doesn't air or get banned and therefore doesn't get aired in America due to being "risky" as you mentioned. which i find odd because you would think America would be no stranger to dark or inappropriate humor for some cartoons. even mild ones. like the stuff here in Canada to me is pretty tamed. But I guess that is just my 90's sense of mind as I was raised around that stuff, no censoring of humor or risky stuff as they would call it. Heck, my generation had Teletubbies for crying out loud and that stuff is nightmare fuel yet kids back then, besides me, loved that show. And don't get me started on what commercials were like back then, they are a whole another category of weirdness.
All the episodes that was banned in the USA we got to see them in Canada and tbh it wasn’t bad as a kid it made me understand these more mature topics a bit better
0:13 that music is activating nostalgia neurons wtf
Yeah great Canadian production. Met the guy that voices Jude, he goes to a lot of cons here in Canada. Awesome show for sure, still holds up very well.
Yeah I’ve heard he’s involved with a lot of cons and stuff even back 15 years ago
I grew up in the 2000s I’ve never heard or seen the show ever
It was usually only on Cartoon Network at like 9pm once a week in the late 2000s
@@Colby2D ohh I see it’s a little past my time for cartoons then. I’m 28 now. I grew out of cartoons extra fast though, because I work in the film industry. Anyways, I’ve always preferred live action media over animation, probably why I fell into the film industry in the first place, but I was making TH-cam videos and trying to be a filmmaker in the late 2000s. When I was a teen lol
I was in highschool myself when the show debuted and so yeah, it really resonated with me. The thing that initially grabbed my attention was how it looked to have been done in Adobe illustrator oO
I felt the same way you did, and I am glad I am not the only one who believed it. By the way surfing is fun but hard really hard.
Yeah I’d love to try some day. I’m an awful skateboarder but I might be less scared in water
The episode where their periods sync up was one of the funniest things I had ever seen at the time.
Beast Wars (Original 90'S cartoon) , ReBoot (90'S Cartoon not the reboot of it ) Shadow Raiders ( War planets ) are my favorite Canadian cartoons , all well written with age CGI Animation , but the characters are worth it , even when Beast Wars name was censored to Beasties ( due to Canada No war in the name law for shows ) , are still good kids media
That’s really interesting, I have reboot written down to check out sometime!
The goth girl was my favorite character. She reminded me of my middle school crush
i'm in canada and we did see all these episodes, and it really is stuff that teens do in real life but it didn't have a bad impact on me. i didnt start to want to date college guys when i became a teen, i didnt want to shoplift, i mean the episode is all about how you shouldnt do that... the world is becoming too censored and too sensitive
This show was perfection. Because characters actually acted like real teenagers. Even weebtoon or tv can’t really relate with and didn’t overload with adult topics.
I was literally 16 when 6teen came out
Man 6Teen was so good, especially growing up in Canada all the “adult jokes” were hilarious, the sexual tension between Jonesy and *Jenifer as step siblings was insane.
And it was one of the only cartoons to have a solid non abrupt definitive ending , which is refreshing.
The acoustic version of the 6Teen theme song too was just perfect 👌🏿
I loooved this show when I was young, it made me so excited for my teens. I thought it was so unique&it will forever have a place in my heart
Jude smoking pot in the lemon really brings me back
He was so real for that
Growing up as a Canadian online I was always told I lived in a dictatorship by Americans. (Meanwhile America banning kids TV shows for *dangerous ideology*)
Also how you pronounced *Iqaluit* was very interesting. 😂
But then again Americans don't really know anything outside of America.
Edit* remember brace face being another controversial show for Americans as well. (Same with Jacob two two)
Yeah American censors for shows are pretty odd, Canada definitely puts a lot more stock into animation, film and art. At least from the film board and stuff. And I tried my best with iqaluit, sorry lol
I’ve watched total drama when I was really little and rewatched a year or two ago and I just finished 6teen, I can’t wait to watch stoked.
I think you’ll love stoked too. It’s got fresh aspects to it, but overall is my least favorite characters of the 3, but it’s cool, sweet, and has a great setting
I rewatched the show last year and i suggested a friend of mine she never got in on because she was into friends so we were parallel despite I'm 7 years older then her.
Yeah friends plays so much on nick at night and stuff at the moment it makes sense the younger generations may have watched it even more
Not a bad break down of the show; you defiantly seem closer to in age to the target demographic than I was when it first started airing. Personally I liken 6Teen to being a more kid friendly version of Friends. The parallels between the two shows are pretty obvious in the clips and episodes referenced, but there's still enough originality to make its own. This also coexists with the teenage mall culture (which yes has always been a thing) with a lot of shows during that early 2000s was focusing on at the time in shows, and even call backs in more adult shows out at the time, ie: HIMYM episode Slap Bet (released in 2006) which introduced audiences to Robin Sparkles and her song Lets Go To The Mall.
Thank you I appreciate it, yeah it’s definitely pretty similar to friends, but there’s just something about the humor I gel with a lot more here, maybe it’s because they’re a lot more friendly in 6teen I feel, but mall culture of the mid 2000s was very interesting
I was sixteen when 6teen premiered so it hit extra hard.
Lol that is awesome! I think I was 13 and I’m glad I was because I don’t know if I would have given it the same chance when I was 16, even though I still love it to this day lol
@@Colby2D I’m from Canada and teletoon slotted it really well. Was also when I got a tv in my room for the first time.
Am I the only one who watched this as a child on Cartoon Network when it still aired? I feel old 😭
That is how I found it, I’m a little surprised how many people have found it only through TH-cam, but I’m glad it’s uploaded here!
Wyatt and Catalans accidental kiss episode where they felt fireworks when they kissed made my expectations so high for my first kiss. It wasn’t till 2012 where I got my first girlfriend and found the kiss lackluster. This show really set the expectations too high when I was kid. 😂
The show did a great job of making everything in life seem a little cooler than it actually as lol, but I feel like by the same extent the episode eventually turns it around to say it wasn’t a big deal sorta
Ah i loved stoked too! Memory unlocked! Didn't know there were a bunch of episodes banned here. I liked how it was more realistic for teens. Like I remember there was one episode where the purple haired girl was on a date with the guy at his house and she had to go #2 really bad but it was like their first date and so she's freaking out, and ends up clogging the toilet. it was a whole fiasco on that. American shows would never.
Honestly that’s such a real and traumatic plot
Used to watch this when i was 10-11
Wonderful cartoon!!!!
I remember so much from this show- I loved it. It was absolutely hilarious
It flowed so well it’s such a great watch
I love this show with all my heart💜
FUCK 6Teen it made me think my teen life would be cool and fun and going out to the mall in reality all i did was stay home hoooly fuck i wasted my life
😭 I feel that
When I was growing up watching this as a kid my personality was so subconsciously based off of shaggy and all three of the guys in this show
Honestly same
Me and my sister loveedddd this show!! I used to think this is what being sixteen would be like and wanted to move to Canada😂 definitely rewatching this
I was always super scared as a kid of 6teen because I thought the final episode was that Zombie episode
The zombie episode was pretty crazy, I can’t believe how graphic it was. I just made a video on it last week because of the comments here about it
We been waiting for this one!!!
Thanks man! Your support means a lot to me
I love the show. I have signed posters of Jude and the total drama host done by the voice actor. They're in an art storage tube to keep them safe long-term
Dude we need a 6teen sequel
Tax season must be insane for Jonesy
I can’t imagine him not committing tax fraud / evasion no matter how hard he tries
The art is similar to Grossology (2006-2009). Do they happen to share the same studio or creator? I've never watched or heard of 6teen, looks cool!
I'd put Nikki in C tier. Throughout the show, she is seen hitting people (mostly Jonesy). She hits Jonesy in almost every episode and calls him & others stupid and talks down on men, suffering no consequences. If Jonesy was seen hitting her, everyone would FREAK OUT, but since the roles are reversed, no one seems to mind.
Very strange and bad programming for young girls; making them think this is ok behavior.
But she does have some funny moments.
I never even watched 6 Teen but that acoustic version of the theme at the end got me.
It’s really good!!
yoooo im canadian and we def got those banned episodes i remember them VIVIDLY
I remember watching this airing on tv. It was always scattered, I had no idea that was the last episode. wtf, I kinda hate that it has a sad ending. Also, that makes two Canadian shows from my youth that end with someone moving away for their final episode. Not that unusual, still weird it happened twice
What was the other show?
This brought back memories I forgot I had lol
That makes me happy to hear🙂
bro i was starting to think i was the only person who knew about this show
Hopefully in the future I’ll talk about more shows that aren’t very remembered!
You made this video 17 minutes long and it’s just eating at me 😤
I’m sorry😅 would it have been better if I made it 16 minutes 59 seconds?
@@Colby2D no it’s fine I was kidding 😂😂
I was 16 when 6teen came out.
Very cool, I think I was 13 which felt like a good time for me to see it
the review alone made me almost cry
Aw, thank you
This show was SO GOOD
I know, the grip this, stoked, and total drama had on me at the time
the way this video unearthed a memory from the vault I didn't even know I had
I’m glad I could help, thanks for watching!
>pretends to be in college to date college student
almost happened to me. Glad I'm not in jail
Some people may not know but jude made a return 2 years ago for cartoon networks new total drama spin off: Total Drama Rama
Yeah I thought it was weird but cool, like I’d love to see them in a regular season of total drama
I watched all episodes…good memories
The episodes really flow nicely and are just chill enough to keep watching
I had a similar experience watching the last episode of the Bionic Woman.
I’ll have to check it out!
episodes were not banned. Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon decided not to air them.
That’s true, there is a bit of a difference between banning and not airing I should’ve clarified. Thanks for watching
I don't remember if it was a movie or episode but the zombie 6teen movie or episode went hard.
Currently working on a video about the zombie special 🙂
I remember thinking this show was so badass because they'd say "crap"
I love to see a revival of this show or at least see another show with a similar animation style 6teen has.
Lol I never watched the show, but I would occasionally catch some of it when I left the TV on for the cats
Lol that’s funny, in the us, at least where I was, it would only play at night like once a week but I would’ve loved a more regular airing
