Wrong. Caillou isn't as bad as he used to be. The parents actually do give him discipline when he occasionally acts out in later seasons and the reboot. I like both.
The worst part is, these are all normal ways for a toddler to behave, it's the adults that are in the wrong. They don't teach him, they don't punish him, they just let him get away with his behavior.
He's 2.5yo. age appropriate behaviour means that they can't do much better. The cartoon makes him seem more capable - 2.5yo are much much more helpless. As stupid as it sounds the parents are being "good" and appropriate. I think people are too spoiled rotten to understand how damaging it is to be a parentifyed/adultifyed child of self-infanilized adults. We're judging a 2.5yo toddler for not playing quietly, when was the last time we judged middle aged adults that were having a BBQ? Or fratboys for having a college party? A 2.5yo has very little alternatives - making choices is a privilege of adults.

I'm pretty sure pinching a baby in real life like that would cause great damage to the under-developed skin, and likely leave the baby with a scar for the rest of its life. Also, the way Rosie screams spooks me really badly because I've NEVER heard that sound effect before in anywhere else. If it's really a stock sound effect (like Baby Kate's crying), I'd love to see what else it was used in, just so we don't have to live with the horrible theory that they might have have pinched a real baby behind the scenes to produce that sound. EDIT 9/9/24: It is absolutely a stock sound effect, I just heard it in an episode of Night Court. Episode was "A Family Affair, Part 1", I believe.
In the book Caillou bit Rosie in the face, which probably did more damage and is probably more painful than a pinch, but a pinch is still bad for babies.

For those of you unfortunate enough to have seen "Big Brother Caillou", or even worse, read the book it's based on, "Caillou: Baby Sister", I recommend reading Peanuts: You're a Big Brother Charlie Brown! as the perfect antidote. That book is also about a bald kid whose name begins with the letter C in a yellow shirt and his baby sister, but unlike Caillou, Charlie Brown is legitimately happy to have a younger sister (to the point where when Sally was born, he ran out of his house saying he was a father before correcting himself). Sure, Charlie Brown does get upset with Sally when she messes up his favorite puzzle and when he has to miss a baseball game with his friends to push her around the neighborhood in her stroller, he doesn't stay mad at her for long and feels bad whenever he hurts her feelings. I've seen the "Infant Sibling Jealousy" trope so many times in other media that it was so refreshing to see a story where an older sibling is genuinely happy to have a younger one. I even recommended it to a family with a young boy who was about to have a baby sister of his own.
And it was still very wholesome and sweet when Charlie took care of Baby Lucy before she became a fussbudget. Baby Lucy did cause trouble but at least was often pretty penitent and her behavior was pretty normal for a little child and not taken to extremes. Now Lucy just wants to cause neurological brain damage on her poor blockhead. G1 Charlie "roughneck" Brown wouldn't have fallen for any of their sick tricks. I miss G1 Charlie Brown! He was hardcore.
@@melissacooper8724a lot of Peanuts characters started out as babies, the first two van pelt siblings, Sally, etc. And Charlie Brown was older than all of them. But now they’re almost all the same age.

Big Brother Caillou rewrite: After Caillou pinches Rosie, Boris gets very angry at him, and sends him to timeout. Later Boris comes and asks Caillou why he pinched his sister. Caillou tells Boris that he’s sad because nobody pays attention to him anymore and that they don’t love him. Boris explains that newborns need lots of attention, but that he and Doris love both him and Rosie equally. Caillou feels guilty for pinching Rosie, and Boris suggests helping him change Rosie as an apology. The ending is mostly the same
Man, after watching this video, I have new appreciation on how the writers of Bluey can make episodes about young children that don't involve them having tantrums for no reason.
The unfortunate thing is that Caillou is behaving like a normal small child. His brain's not done cooking in that bald little dome of his, so he doesn't have any ability to manage his emotions. Those emotions run haywire and leads to kicking and screaming. Any parent knows that their kids at this age throw tantrums over the absolute dumbest shit - I have a friend who's son lost his mind over idea that his mom didn't want him to watch her poop. I imagine though that most the reason Caillou becomes utterly insufferable for many is because the plot of the episodes tend to follow a few formulas: "Caillou misunderstands something -> Parents try to explain -> Caillou flips out and gets grumpy -> Parents placate him" "Caillou is scared about a normal thing -> That fear makes him scream and cry -> After being exposed to that thing he learns it's not that bad" "Caillou wants something -> His parents tell him no/later -> He gets pissy and tries to accomplish it himself -> His parents find him in the aftermath and help him do the thing he wanted originally" Ultimately his parents are extremely gentle with him, and while they get impatient some times, they are never intentionally harsh. Caillou is never punished for bad behavior - I'm not saying I want him smacked left and right, but a stern "don't play in the kitchen unsupervised" or even a time out would be huge. Because a lot of us remember when we were little and pulling this shit, we also know that our own parents would have scolded/smacked us for this sort of behavior (except the daycare one, Caillou's insecurely attached to his parents and this is unfortunately very common). As a result, we think Caillou's a little brat who throws a fit until he gets his way.
Another big plus would actually involve the narrator. Instead of just stating the obvious, as though the audience is too dumb to understand what the fridge is going on, she can just tell them that Caillou’s behavior is unacceptable.
@@thomashuffman3237 Right. But, of course, it's also worth noting that this is a show meant for very small children. There's kids shows where the audience is probably going to be old enough to understand without extra hand holding, but Caillou's definitely for young enough kids that these things need to be explained. The narrator may be annoying to older audiences, but it's pretty par for the course with shows for this demographic.
This entire show (or at least, its main character) is the embodiment of that one quote I remember from Gravity Falls: “Soos, would it be wrong to punch a child?” -Grunkle Stan
Can't blame the cat. Caillou is always so mean to him. In real life, the cat would claw his eyes out. So....the lesson this show is teaching is be mean to your pets and they'll still love you at the end of the day. I still say there's more education in a few hours if bluey than the entire caillou series
They did in the first book release. There in facts book about Arthur’s king big nose which aardvarks have. Then later he was simplified to have a smaller nose, same with is family. They look more like bears like Brain does.
I swear that scene of Caillou pinching Rosie made me so uncomfortable and still does to this day. Even D.W. is looking at that like, “Dude, you stop that now!”
What's terrifying enough is in the book Caillou bites Rosie on the cheek. Even as a kid when I saw him being mean to Rosie I felt so bad for her. He's always mean to her. And guess what? His parents NEVER PUNISH HIM FOR IT! The Reads would have at least given DW a timeout like Mrs. Read did when she threatened to pinch Kate for trying to play with her.
7:02 I wish Caillou's dad used that box as a coffin instead of a toy box. Caillou looks like he's small enough to fit inside, and there's clearly a lock on the outside. All his dad would have to do is trick him into thinking it's a spaceship somehow. Then once Caillou would climb in, his Dad could close and lock it shut, and the parents would be free! (Parents, don't try that at home!)
I swear, the part where he pinches Rosie gets to me on a primal level, it genuinely makes me uncomfortable. Also, if little me had done that to my sister, my folks would’ve busted my shit up real good! Mom would’ve used it as an excuse to put me in a mental hospital.
As you continue with the serious, pay more attention to Rosie and Clementine. They’re literally the nicest characters in the show, and they both serve as punching bags for Caillou.
Caillou not liking Rosie reminded me of how mad dad was when Grandma gave birth to my aunt. My dad was about 7 years old when my aunt, his sister was born. Unlike Caillou, my dad never pinched his baby sister. It did take him a while to warm up to her though.
The scary part is that Caillou was smart enough to know that if he held the back of Rosie's head while he pinched her, she wouldn't be able to wriggle out of his grasp. He was actually holding her in place while he harmed her! And this was on a kid show no less! 😨
Caillou isn't as bad as D.W. Sure, he's a brat, but he's not mean and vindictive, just spoiled. D.W. intentionally sets out to make Arthur miserable and manipulates her parents to get her way, while Caillou has more of an infant mindset. In other words, he's a more realistic toddler who behaves this way because his parents always give in. Like picking up a baby every time it cries.
All toddlers are like this by the way which is why you have to be careful when having other children around your baby. My son is a sweetheart most of the time but he's tried to delete his little sister without even knowing what he was doing. They are only a year apart by the way.
I agree. I'm only 1 year and 5 months older than my brother and I bit him on his arm when he was about 7 months old. We joke about it now (even Hannibal and zombie jokes) because none of us actually remember it, just my mom and she did punish me at the time (she told me so). That was the only time I really hurt my brother, we have always had a very good relationship.
Some onesies have snaps on the legs so you don't have to take the onesie off for a diaper change. Given the apparent contents of that diaper, though, using just the snaps would be just asking to have to add another onesie to the laundry.
When the AOK videos were still around, huge difference between Caillou at 22 and D.W. as an adult herself. This is why I think Caillou is worse and there's probably more to the story regarding how bad he REALLY is.
You really realize the Caillou one was a parody, right? I don't remember if anyone made a parady of Arthur, but I do know an episode of the series shows them as adults and I don't know everything about them as adults so I can't judge. I'm just saying it's silly to judge a character based off a parody Parodies aren't Canon.
That part at the end where you said “he needs to go to counseling” that is totally a valid point. Visiting a therapist could definitely tell us why Caillou is such a brat. I’d also call Jo Frost the Supernanny to get to Caillou’s parents heads that they need to stop being so permissive and spoiling the 4 year old psychotic brat
I feel bad for Gilbert who has to be around that household with all the nonstop whining and tantrums, it must have been real torture for him being around there.
I saw another video on hated characters where Calliou was described as a less aggressive version of “No, David!” And while that seems like a terrifying comparison for anyone who knows that story, I haven’t stopped laughing like an idiot about it 😂😂😂😂😂

Caillou: *starts covid-38* Caillou's parents: *Caillou, that wasn't nice! Tell you what, say sorry to everyone and we'll go get some ice cream* edit: replaced caillou'a with caillou's
1:35-1:38 THANK YOU!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! What makes it worse is that later in the series, he refuses to PLAAAAYY with her at all. If I were Caillou's dad, I'd put him in the corner for an hour!
However bad D.W. is, at least she's far better than Caillou in at least 2 important aspects. First of all, her voice may peel paint sometimes, but at least she doesn't sound like a character from Adam Sandler's The Waterboy Babies. Plus, Caillou is the star of his show. Which means at least when you put on Arthur, you're guaranteed at least half the episodes don't feature her. Also, of COURSE Canada has Lego. Everywhere does. Japan even had a short run Ninjago manga, and Europe has an exclusive soccer based CMF series.
Boris: You are Grounded Grounded Grounded Grounded Grounded Grounded until the End of the Universe for singing your stupid song, go to your room right now and never come out.
I love the way Matt imitates how Caillou says, "PLAAAAAY", it cracked me up. "Caillou decides make cookies after looking at a blank book." And in the one where he refuses to eat his vegetables, his parents should be better about supervising him when it involves cookies after that whole cookie-baking mess. "While Caillou tracks down a squirrel who had the misfortune of crossing the three-year-old psychopath." Why did Grandma put Rosie in her crib for her nap without taking off Rosie's shoes?!
It's normal that Caillou is a bad kid, his parents NEVER punished him. They always say '' Do do that, it's wrong! '' but rarely explain why it's wrong. They didn't make him realise his mistakes so he will never learn from them. His mother and father are bad parents. Caillou is not the only one to blame for his horrible and annoying attitude. If his parents educate him, he wouldn't be like that.
DW: I have brought injustice to my own flesh and blood. Those whom I have called my friends either rebel or are too overtaken by fear to attempt escape. And yet, in your presence, I am a saint among a demon and his soldiers.

Big Brother Caillou rewrite:
After Caillou pinches Rosie, Boris gets very angry at him, and sends him to timeout. Later Boris comes and asks Caillou why he pinched his sister. Caillou tells Boris that he’s sad because nobody pays attention to him anymore and that they don’t love him. Boris explains that newborns need lots of attention, but that he and Doris love both him and Rosie equally. Caillou feels guilty for pinching Rosie, and Boris suggests helping him change Rosie as an apology. The ending is mostly the same
Wow. That ending is much better!
And?
You forgot the part where Boris tans that demon spawn's hide.

I think Wildbrain has already made a rewrite of "Big brother Caillou".

Man, after watching this video, I have new appreciation on how the writers of Bluey can make episodes about young children that don't involve them having tantrums for no reason.
Lol
Children have tantrums for no reason all the time, though.
@@freeinghumanitynow so??
Bluey is the best cartoon ever
Bluey is better than caillou
So basically Caillou's parents are what people who don't understand what gentle parenting is think gentle parenting is.
The unfortunate thing is that Caillou is behaving like a normal small child. His brain's not done cooking in that bald little dome of his, so he doesn't have any ability to manage his emotions. Those emotions run haywire and leads to kicking and screaming. Any parent knows that their kids at this age throw tantrums over the absolute dumbest shit - I have a friend who's son lost his mind over idea that his mom didn't want him to watch her poop.
I imagine though that most the reason Caillou becomes utterly insufferable for many is because the plot of the episodes tend to follow a few formulas:
"Caillou misunderstands something -> Parents try to explain -> Caillou flips out and gets grumpy -> Parents placate him"
"Caillou is scared about a normal thing -> That fear makes him scream and cry -> After being exposed to that thing he learns it's not that bad"
"Caillou wants something -> His parents tell him no/later -> He gets pissy and tries to accomplish it himself -> His parents find him in the aftermath and help him do the thing he wanted originally"
Ultimately his parents are extremely gentle with him, and while they get impatient some times, they are never intentionally harsh. Caillou is never punished for bad behavior - I'm not saying I want him smacked left and right, but a stern "don't play in the kitchen unsupervised" or even a time out would be huge. Because a lot of us remember when we were little and pulling this shit, we also know that our own parents would have scolded/smacked us for this sort of behavior (except the daycare one, Caillou's insecurely attached to his parents and this is unfortunately very common). As a result, we think Caillou's a little brat who throws a fit until he gets his way.
More like his flat ass brain ran away bc it knew he deserves no love or knowledge
Another big plus would actually involve the narrator. Instead of just stating the obvious, as though the audience is too dumb to understand what the fridge is going on, she can just tell them that Caillou’s behavior is unacceptable.
@@thomashuffman3237 Right.
But, of course, it's also worth noting that this is a show meant for very small children. There's kids shows where the audience is probably going to be old enough to understand without extra hand holding, but Caillou's definitely for young enough kids that these things need to be explained. The narrator may be annoying to older audiences, but it's pretty par for the course with shows for this demographic.
Caillou is the kid that intentionally leaves his infant sibling in a closet causing the parents to panic
This entire show (or at least, its main character) is the embodiment of that one quote I remember from Gravity Falls:
“Soos, would it be wrong to punch a child?”
-Grunkle Stan
Not in this case.
Spare the rod, and spoil the child.
Does he ever get spanked
@@Wolffur I’d keep the rod. Wouldn’t want them to get out of control.
I love that episode
Can't blame the cat. Caillou is always so mean to him. In real life, the cat would claw his eyes out. So....the lesson this show is teaching is be mean to your pets and they'll still love you at the end of the day.
I still say there's more education in a few hours if bluey than the entire caillou series
That's certainly the truth. In fact, one of the best things about Bluey is cramming some valuable life lesson into an episode less than 10 minutes.
I agree-Bluey is fantastic and definitely better than this.
Exactly. And it's fun to watch as well
So much freaking better
When I was younger I loved bluey and my fav episode was escape Caillou is the worst show in history
I'm questioning how it took until 2021 for Caillou to be removed on PBS.
And as much as I respect PBS, it seemed like they instantly had TH-cam try to take down Matt's interpretation of FU DW Season 4.
easy parents want it off air.
It was mainly on reruns anyhow since the show officially ended in 2010. Until the reboot
@@viviennemorgan7217Parents wanted it off the air for YEARS before they finally removed it.
@@princesspikachu3915 yeah and I got something to tell you it's going to be in cartoonito
Caillou bites his sister in the book version of big brother caillou
He fucking WHAT?!?!?!
The heck is wrong with this Hellspawn?!
WHAATTTTTT?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!😮🤦♂️
Damn that makes the pinch look tame
I guess that explains the kiss.
Other brats Matt Neff should cover:
- Bloo (Fosters)
- Junior (SML)
- Cartman (South Park)
- Robin (Titans Go)
Yeah but all the other characters are so boring and annoying I always rooted for Bloo by default.
You said Junior twice
Morbucks ( the powerpuff girls 1998 )
Yes definitely Cartman we need a Cartman series
Bowser Jr. is from a video game. His most wholesome moments are from the Switch Parental Controls trailer.
To be honest I don't think Arthur and his family look like aardvarks. By the shape of their ears they look like squirrels.
They just kawaii-fied them and my first look on the mc(arthur) looking like nobita a bit lolz (i knew arthur on early last year)
The characters really should have just been Humans.
I always thought they are rats or anteaters
They did in the first book release. There in facts book about Arthur’s king big nose which aardvarks have. Then later he was simplified to have a smaller nose, same with is family. They look more like bears like Brain does.
I always thought he was a hamster.
Mr. Hinkle is Caillou's future self from the bad timeline
Never, ever disrespect Mr. Hinkle
There's a good timeline?
Who’s Mr Hinkle?
Barry Allen strikes again.
@@georgehutter339yeah, he dies
I swear that scene of Caillou pinching Rosie made me so uncomfortable and still does to this day. Even D.W. is looking at that like, “Dude, you stop that now!”
What's terrifying enough is in the book Caillou bites Rosie on the cheek. Even as a kid when I saw him being mean to Rosie I felt so bad for her. He's always mean to her. And guess what? His parents NEVER PUNISH HIM FOR IT! The Reads would have at least given DW a timeout like Mrs. Read did when she threatened to pinch Kate for trying to play with her.
Caillou as the Green Goblin: Can the Spiderman come out and PlAaaAAAAyAAaaAaaheeee!?
0:56 DW merely threatened to pinch Kate. Calliou ACTUALLY DID it to Rosie
Without warning
Caillou parents taking disciplinary action is a bigger mandella effect than the bearstain bear spelling
In that i don’t remember them doing that
If his mom was smart, she should have left him at daycare and never came back
0:59 at least DW gave her baby sister a warning threat, Caillou just straight up pinches without warning.
DW may be spoiled, but at least she's not bespoke toy chest level spoiled.
At least no one is stupid enough to give Caillou a badge and gun. DW is a defund the police protest waiting to happen
"Mr. McFeely's bottom b-"
No. Mr. Rogers was a living saint. We do not make jokes about that show
Yeah. I agree with you about that.
"Rosie you poor bastard" *youngest sibling of 12 breathing intensifies*
I almost feel like this should be "FU Boris and Doris."
They are the Jane and David Read of the show. But more dumber
@@Jess19980 At least Arthur's parents had some good parenting moments
Your impression of Caillou saying "plaaaay" sounds like Adam Sandler.
6:30 Notice how the toys were left ONLY in the driveway and none in the yard? This kid has his misbehavior down to a strategy!
7:02 I wish Caillou's dad used that box as a coffin instead of a toy box. Caillou looks like he's small enough to fit inside, and there's clearly a lock on the outside. All his dad would have to do is trick him into thinking it's a spaceship somehow. Then once Caillou would climb in, his Dad could close and lock it shut, and the parents would be free!
(Parents, don't try that at home!)
Caillou has always been a little brat so much so that my mom thought he was annoying
Yeah, this brat universally despised
My mom couldn’t stand him either. Nowadays, I regret liking this show. I wonder who's the bigger brat, Caillou or Peppa Pig?
@@lanceplaxton6967 Caillou is
@@mattneff In the book he bites her I stead.
Even his voice hurts my ears
I swear, the part where he pinches Rosie gets to me on a primal level, it genuinely makes me uncomfortable.
Also, if little me had done that to my sister, my folks would’ve busted my shit up real good! Mom would’ve used it as an excuse to put me in a mental hospital.
As you continue with the serious, pay more attention to Rosie and Clementine. They’re literally the nicest characters in the show, and they both serve as punching bags for Caillou.
I saw a clip where clementine had to be a monkey for a game💀
@@kerisaltchannel3817 Caillou’s cross word made my stomach churn.
Clementine had one moment of anger at Caillou, when he accidentally broke her bucket in the episode, "Three's a Crowd".
@@lanceplaxton6967 yo I remember: his friends had enough of his crap and kicked him from the group for a day.
In the original Caillou book series, rather than Caillou pinching Rosie, he bit her instead
#bite
Was that the bite of 87?
@@imperialvagabond7763 yep
Matt Neff's PLAAAAAAYY count: 5
Caillou not liking Rosie reminded me of how mad dad was when Grandma gave birth to my aunt. My dad was about 7 years old when my aunt, his sister was born. Unlike Caillou, my dad never pinched his baby sister. It did take him a while to warm up to her though.
1:02 when you realize Caillou is worse than Disaster Warning
D.W stands for Disaster Warning good one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know actual kids can be genuinely terrible, but Caillou is so consistently awful that it's really easy to loathe him.
The scary part is that Caillou was smart enough to know that if he held the back of Rosie's head while he pinched her, she wouldn't be able to wriggle out of his grasp. He was actually holding her in place while he harmed her!
And this was on a kid show no less! 😨
Caillou isn't as bad as D.W. Sure, he's a brat, but he's not mean and vindictive, just spoiled. D.W. intentionally sets out to make Arthur miserable and manipulates her parents to get her way, while Caillou has more of an infant mindset. In other words, he's a more realistic toddler who behaves this way because his parents always give in. Like picking up a baby every time it cries.
eh not exactly the parents want it off air.
@@viviennemorgan7217 and they always site the same TWO episodes. They hate this show because of two episodes?
@@ExplorerDS6789 well there are some episodes that caillou got grounded.
And that's why I find Calliou as overhated
At least she is punished
6:25 “and caillou takes his sweet time going up the stairs” got me laughing for some reason😅
All toddlers are like this by the way which is why you have to be careful when having other children around your baby. My son is a sweetheart most of the time but he's tried to delete his little sister without even knowing what he was doing. They are only a year apart by the way.
I agree. I'm only 1 year and 5 months older than my brother and I bit him on his arm when he was about 7 months old. We joke about it now (even Hannibal and zombie jokes) because none of us actually remember it, just my mom and she did punish me at the time (she told me so). That was the only time I really hurt my brother, we have always had a very good relationship.
imagine if dw got her own show where she was infinitely worse.
WELCOME TO CAILLOU!
Some onesies have snaps on the legs so you don't have to take the onesie off for a diaper change. Given the apparent contents of that diaper, though, using just the snaps would be just asking to have to add another onesie to the laundry.
You know, Rosie is lucky.
If my first child was like Caillou, I'm not sure I'd let myself have a second.
Caillou:
(Shoots Rosie in the face.)
His parents:
That wasn’t very nice. Apologize to Rosie.
Yeah right😂😂😂
Please do the caillou episode where he’s technically racist to poor Clementine. Would love to see your take on that episode to then tell him “f- you”.
Which episode?
Only episode where i thought of racism again clementine is that episode with the zoo in the backyard
5:42 😂This Scene Made Me Laugh For Hours Days Months And Years😂
When the AOK videos were still around, huge difference between Caillou at 22 and D.W. as an adult herself. This is why I think Caillou is worse and there's probably more to the story regarding how bad he REALLY is.
You really realize the Caillou one was a parody, right?
I don't remember if anyone made a parady of Arthur, but I do know an episode of the series shows them as adults and I don't know everything about them as adults so I can't judge.
I'm just saying it's silly to judge a character based off a parody Parodies aren't Canon.
YOU CAN'T PINCH A BABY!!
THEY'RE DELICATE CREATURES!!
That's the point. Caillou is what they used to call a "Bad Seed" (a dangerous psychotic or deranged child)
“He hurt Mr. Hinkle’s feelings and refused to make friends with him until he realized he liked being chased and caught by older men.” 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the touch of you saying “playyyy” how he says it. I get Nam flashbacks every time it happens
That part at the end where you said “he needs to go to counseling” that is totally a valid point. Visiting a therapist could definitely tell us why Caillou is such a brat. I’d also call Jo Frost the Supernanny to get to Caillou’s parents heads that they need to stop being so permissive and spoiling the 4 year old psychotic brat
Caillou is just the alternate version of Saitama, if he was Bratty, whiny, and weak, and more
I feel bad for Gilbert who has to be around that household with all the nonstop whining and tantrums, it must have been real torture for him being around there.
I saw another video on hated characters where Calliou was described as a less aggressive version of “No, David!” And while that seems like a terrifying comparison for anyone who knows that story, I haven’t stopped laughing like an idiot about it 😂😂😂😂😂
At least David is actually punished for his crap. Caillou is treated like a little angel even when he's at his worst behavior.
@@thomashuffman3237Caillou actually mellows out later in the series and he gets more disciplined.
We need F U Bloo for the next F U series!

Poor Rosie she deserves better! 😭
Finally a Caillou bashing video that doesn't just use the pinching and circus incidents as examples.
1:35-1:38 THANK YOU!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! What makes it worse is that later in the series, he refuses to PLAAAAYY with her at all. If I were Caillou's dad, I'd put him in the corner for an hour!
I love the way he says Plaaaayyyyyy
Same lol. He just wanted to plaaaayyyyyy
“He just wanted to “play””
This really shouldn’t be called “FU Caillou” it should really say “FU Mommy and Daddy of Caillou” because of their blatant horrible parenting.
DW means Dora Winifred Read so she has the same first name as Dora the explorer.
However bad D.W. is, at least she's far better than Caillou in at least 2 important aspects. First of all, her voice may peel paint sometimes, but at least she doesn't sound like a character from Adam Sandler's The Waterboy Babies. Plus, Caillou is the star of his show. Which means at least when you put on Arthur, you're guaranteed at least half the episodes don't feature her. Also, of COURSE Canada has Lego. Everywhere does. Japan even had a short run Ninjago manga, and Europe has an exclusive soccer based CMF series.
This is how monsters are made. This is how the soup is made.
Caillou was a whole menace! 😂
My friend's older daughter was about 5 when she denounced Caillou as a "whiny little bitch baby." I about peed myself.
Caillou is what happens when you allow Karen's to have a child.

No, he just wants to pLAaAaAAy.
YES!!!!! Finally, I don't have to pay to see FU Calliou! Keep uploading Matt!
I think the craziest part in my opinion is the fact that this entire video of Caillou Crimes was somehow condensed into 11 minutes
Respect for Rosie :📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Why because she suffered a living hell
I love the way Matt imitates how Caillou says, "PLAAAAAY", it cracked me up. "Caillou decides make cookies after looking at a blank book."
And in the one where he refuses to eat his vegetables, his parents should be better about supervising him when it involves cookies after that whole cookie-baking mess. "While Caillou tracks down a squirrel who had the misfortune of crossing the three-year-old psychopath."
Why did Grandma put Rosie in her crib for her nap without taking off Rosie's shoes?!
It's normal that Caillou is a bad kid, his parents NEVER punished him. They always say '' Do do that, it's wrong! '' but rarely explain why it's wrong. They didn't make him realise his mistakes so he will never learn from them. His mother and father are bad parents. Caillou is not the only one to blame for his horrible and annoying attitude. If his parents educate him, he wouldn't be like that.
EXACTLY btw
In the books, Caillou actually BITES Rosie
A "Bad Seed" from the start.
I remember that episode!! That lil boy is DEMONIC ASL
“Caillou is shocked see kids his age with hair” got me crying 😂
I could watch this video 10 times on repeat, it’s hilarious, amazing video!
DW: I have brought injustice to my own flesh and blood. Those whom I have called my friends either rebel or are too overtaken by fear to attempt escape. And yet, in your presence, I am a saint among a demon and his soldiers.
