Courage The Cowardly Dog may be bizarre, but it’s probably one of the best cartoons I’ve seen when I was younger. It kinda sparked my early interest for the dark stuff. Apart from that, the show itself may be inspired by actual events that are just horrific, to say the least.
As a 90’s kid from america, it’s crazy i used to watch some of these shows and not really think twice about it. “Rocko’s modern life” and “ren and stimpy” were so weird and bizarre. But as a kid, it just looked like a normal cartoon to me.
I remember one time my dad got mad at me for watching Ren and Stimpy because I think the scene had like sexual innuendo in it but I didn't realize it bc I was too young lmao
Rocko's Modern Life was my favorite cartoon as a kid! It wasn't until I got older that I understood all the crazy sexual jokes. But it was still funny!
@@xPorsum A scene?, more like most or all episodes. The carpet-eating women, rubber nipple salesman, etc. When the show was resurrected it was overt, and lost something for it.
I grew up watching Courage, Billy and Mandy, Tom and Jerry, Addams Family and more with that kind of creepy vibe/ unsettling scenes. They shaped my love for all things bizarre, but didn't make me violent. I feel like cartoons like that are harmless. Some kids just like dark stuff 🤷♀️
Omg remember the Billy and Mandy scene of the evil Bunny beating up and chasing Pud’n down the highway claiming he was doing it for love??! THAT WAS INSANE!!!!!
One day I was watching ed Edd n eddy n suddenly a weird episode came up. That episode was called creepypasta.. And some character's eyes were white and characters were eating each other it showed on tv.. That was very creepy for me and I think that episode is the only episode that has been removed from the rest of the episode..
The 90s was definitely a weird time for kids' cartoons and toys. Creators were able to get away with a lot of stuff as long as it was "all a dream" or some other excuse. Coraline was another kid's cartoon (made in the early 2000s) that a lot of people can vividly remember. Edit: my mistake
Tim burton didn’t make it it was Henry Selick. Tim burton didn’t even really make nightmare before Christmas- it was mostly Henry. Tim just got his name put on it😒
wait Coraline came out in 2009, so that would be late 2000s not early lol and the film was an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel Coraline ^^ (only reason I know is cuz I love the comics he's written and was surprised to see that he wrote Coraline)
I’ve read in an essay book about the importance and symbolism of fairytales for the psyche of children and I’ve learnt something that I’d like to share (in regards of the girl saying at 7:40) : parents are convinced that children should be distracted from their unconscious (where reside negative urges like violence, grotesque, anxiety and egoism but also positive ones, desires and memories)and make them believe that the world is only made of rainbows and flowers (only the good sides), even though the same children know themselves that they aren’t intrinsically ‘good’ which leads to a fracture with what their parents say and makes the child uncomfortable of himself. Children have interior conflicts that come from emotions and primitive instincts but the modern literature/cartoons for children don’t touch upon these (the need to be loved, the fear of not being considerated, love for live and fear of death), so kids don’t know how to react to them ending up feeling lonely, isolated and anxious that are showed in an indirect way (ex fear of dark, of being abandoned,body complexes.. leading to some serious pathologies) cuz they can’t express what they feel in words. They know the existence of good-bad and life-death and fairytales (the original ones and not the Disney ones since they changed most of the endings or change the stories) alongside cartoons help projecting these unconscious urges into ways to deal with these problems and growing up. So yeah, I don’t think that not talking or showing children violence or death helps them since they’re things that are happening in real life.
It depends on the age. I work with 2-4 year olds, and this content "hurries" their development because they repeat and may even act out the content they see. It's not until kids are in elementary school that they start learning how to process and filter the content they consume.
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams i mean come on, 4 years old will maybe still watch the cartoos for babies, a 2 year old is still to young to understand more complex stories. but when you start school, your old enough and pick what you want to watch on tv. i used to watch many shows like this and till this day i love dark themes. i dont rememer what i did at 2 or 4, but im sure i wasnt watching kida cartoos but some babies ones
@@nadiinesamyy i’ve tried searching the title in English since I’m reading it in my language : “The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales” by Bruno Bettelheim
shocking cartoons were so big back in the 90s and early 2000s! god.. i really watched these as a kid and barely bat an eye. i do remember thinking the ones like ren & stimpy and rocko's modern life were gross and creepy, but i never really got the vibe of how... messed up they were. i adored courage the cowardly dog even though it scared me! sometimes i see videos like this that remind me of all those cartoons, and it makes a little more sense why millenials are a little... off, sometimes hahaha.
Lol they definitely included creepy kids shows BUT the one the beats them all is ‘The Marvelous Adventures of Flapjack’.This shows tore me down but I loved it so much.That show and courage is top tier disturbing but addicting to watch!
Videos like this are so interesting to me. It really highlights differences in culture and thinking. Some of these cartoons definitely ARE NOT for children, but because they're animated, many parents let their kids watch, or children were watching without their parent's permission, like Ren and Stimpy (which did not air during the day, but quite late at night when most young children would be sleeping.) Children are far more aware of what's going on around them than adults seem to think; even with Korea having some of the absolute purest, most innocent cartoons I've ever seen, the kids still experience the same issues that children from the West do. They're still exposed to violence, death, s*x, and a host of other things outside of their households. These cartoons may seem horrifying to some, but a lot of them did teach real life lessons (Courage and Spongebob) and dealt with issues children are aware of. More adult jokes usually aren't understood either- those are for parents that suffer through the endless animated toons their children make them watch.
I'm surprised they didn't see Invader Zim, the Dark Harvest episode. The creator Jhonen Vasquez has a talent of making thing uncomfortable and scary from him dark comic, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and I Feel Sick.
I like to think of the weird scenes as just another form of art but I think for kids, it’s that shock factor. “Eww gross!!! Do it again!!” Kind of thing. Also I’m sad spongebob got more focus than courage. Like the epitaph episode or the bone episode or especially the bunny episode would have been great. They should just do a courage video lol
There was a scene cut from one of my favorite Spongebob episodes called Just One Bite, Squidward tries to get into the patty vault; he walks into the Krusty Krab and gets a bucket of water thrown on him. He says "this is our security" then a match is thrown at him and you find out it was gasoline. The scene was edited out later so now Squidward just breaks into the vault exhausted a dirty. I loved Courage, I'm the kid to now adult that just loves dark comedy, Courage never bothered me even though I completely understood what was going on.
I would like to see them react to more Spongebob and Courage the Cowardly Dog. I watched a lot of those shows growing up. The Creepiest spongebob episode was him turning into a snail, the creepiest courage episode...You can't pick just one. Lol
I will forever remember that mumie figure from the King Ramses Curse episode (Courage The Cowardly Dog). I was disturbed for a while but still I loved and watched the bizarre 90's shows.
I’d love to see this group react to different American sitcoms through the decades: I love Lucy, married with children, Roseanne, modern family, happy days, mamas family, the addams family, that 70’s show… I’d also love to see Americans react to Korean media through the decades.
The story of Ren & Stimpy's creator being fired for the violence of Man's Best Friend is his side of the story. It's also likely that he was fired because he would not finish his work on time. Ren & Stimpy's schedule delays were so notorious in the American animation industry that even The Simpsons made a joke about it.
And then there was the PBS Mystery animated intro, which gave me early exposure to Edward Gorey and his delightfully macabre Art Deco flavored sensibility. I credit this for helping me develop a taste for (fictional) murder. It's fair to say I was a very strange child.
Shout-out to Sonic SATAM, whilst not being entirely creepy most of the scenes with Robotnik were pretty unsettling and moments where a character from a couple of episodes gets turned into a robot to never be seen again was rather disturbing in hindsight
As someone that has grown up with these kinds of cartoons (like Courage the Cowardly Dog and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy), my experience with why most people didn't bat an eye so much during the time period is mostly because a lot of cartoons in the US were way more stigmatized and dismissed as "exclusive for kids" from since the '60s/'70s and onwards into the '80s/'90s, mostly because of a lot of marketing for toys was also integrated with Western cartoons (even though there was animation that was pushing boundaries, like Watership Down and Batman the Animated Series as examples). It's unfortunately still got some stigmatization now (as seen with one of the Oscars skits and what has happened with a lot of cartoons on HBO Max), but these days it's more of a generation gap issue - as soon as current generations start taking over industries, some of the old animation stigmas may fade.
“It’s ruining childhood innocence “ The understatement of the millennium sadly. The things that kids are shown and subjected to on some of these supposed children shows is horrendous. I have no clue what these creators and producers are thinking when they aim this kind of content at kids. Really disturbing.
i LOVED Ren and Stimpy when i was a kid. I'm 36 now but I don't think kids watch it much anymore. I may be wrong but I haven't heard about it in a long time
Ren & Stimpy was not a cartoon for kids. It was meant for an older audience that appreciated satire and dark humor. It aired late at night when it was first released. Ren was supposed to be a Chihuahua dog and Stimpy just an overweight cat
That one about Courage The Cowardly Dog was deep... just think... if Courage failed in saving Muriel and Eustace, all three could have ended up in space.... Courage could have seen his real parents again.
That scene from invader zim when zim tries to become “more human” by ingesting a bunch of extra organs… that’s probably the thing that frightened me the most when I was younger. Still love that show but man it was dark
Ren and Stimpy wasn't really a kids show. It was aimed at teens and adults hence why it usually aired late at night or very early in the morning (12am-3am).
The Cowardly Dog was my favorite, I always watched it at night ~ I honestly didn’t find back then nor now any of these cartoon gross that’s probably why I can stomach more things than usual people don’t.
There for a little while very young children were killing themselves in America due to bullying and problems I'm their lives. I didn't realize that SpongeBob or other cartoons may have made that thought process worse
I used to watch Courage. It was not my favourite but I always watched it since there was nothing else. I dont really remember anything in details or any episodes particularly so it didn't really scar me or anything.
These cartoons were my literal Childhood to early adult. I actually watched Ren and Stimpy when it came out. I was 9-10, my brother a year younger. We LOVED that show. My dad even watched it with us! He loved it. lol And Courage was a GREAT show. So under rated.
One of the episode I remember from courage the cowardly dog and it stuck deep in my brain and it kinda terrifies me is about flan idk the whole thing was so eery
Yeah we be different in this side of the globe. For a part 2 you guys should include the amazing world of gumball, the regular show, gravity falls, and steven universe!!
The more demented the better! These cartoons I think had adult themes. Most kids won`t understand the intent in some of these cartoons. This is why parents need to watch out what the kids watch on TV.
I still remember those super detailed scenes from Ren and Stimpy. They were usually more dark and gloomy, was always drawn differently from the normal animation, was super detailed and shaded, and it always zoomed in on their face or body part. Also the butts. So many butts. The show really liked showing them cakes! 🍑
I grew up in France. Very popular cartoons/anime were Sophie's Misfortunes (adaptation of Countess of Ségur's book) and Princess Sarah. Both were little girls, orphans, abused constantly by adults and other children too sometimes. And we watched it all. It would freak me out but I still watched it.
When I was growing up, I actively avoided the gross ones because I hate stuff like that so I never really watched spongebob or gravity falls or the regular show. They were too weird and creepy for me
Some of the cartoons like Ren and Stimpy were geared towards adults, but there are a lot of mentally I’ll people in this world and work in all different kinds of jobs
Ok In all fairness Ren and Stimpy was an Adult cartoon that before there was a market for inappropriate dark adult cartoons being accepted that way in the US. The closest thing at the time was The Simpsons which is tame by comparison.
Random but I would like to nominate a video where they react to “TH-cam apologies” I recommend the following: 1) Sienna Mae 2) James Charles And more 😂
I grew watching these from Carton Network and never realized some weren't suitable for kids: Courage the cowardly dog Ed, edd and Eddie Codename kids next door Oswald Samurai Jack Powerpuff girls Johnny bravo Ben 10 Looney tunes Dexter's lab
the one behind "The Ren & Stimpy Show" was a big fan of Bob Clampett. Bob Clampett worked for Warner Bros. and animated the weirder Looney Tunes cartoons. If you watch some of Clampetts works you see the inspiration.
Children knows about death just as much as adults and they have all the other feelings that should be developed as well. These cartoons were actually adult cartoons.
I used to watch Courage The Cowardly Dog all the time when I was younger. Along with The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy. Though ones that were a bit of a head turner were Cow & Chicken. And then there was Cat & Dog.
Courage the Cowardly Dog was one of my faves , also you should definitely had shown them the cartoon called Tree Friends 🤣🤣🤣 it's another great cartoon which I loved as a kid
Ren & Stimpy was the best cartoon ever. It had incredibly dark humor. But that's what it was Humor. 30 yrs later and I still sing some of the songs from that show. ("Everyone Wants a Log, Everyone Needs a Log... It's Log Log Log!") It was the kind of show that made fun of it's own stupidity. 🤣🤣
Kids' cartoons don't need plots or meanings, it should be treated as an entertainment and that's it. No emotional barriers, stress-relief and creative concepts. I understand that they're not used to these kinds of genres for kids but like... back down a little, not everyone is like weirded out by these
Courage The Cowardly Dog may be bizarre, but it’s probably one of the best cartoons I’ve seen when I was younger. It kinda sparked my early interest for the dark stuff. Apart from that, the show itself may be inspired by actual events that are just horrific, to say the least.
OMG same like I used to be scared of the grandpa and dog but I was still obsessed with it
Very dark tho. It's only when you grow up that you understand the hidden meanings
The episode that really disturbed me as a kid was the King Ramses Curse that would be outside their house at night
@@Jaykurosakii same! I love it now as an adult.

Ren and stimpy was fucking wild, we were actually watching that as kids😂😂😂
Cow and Chicken was dark sided lol
For what I remember in Canada Ren & Stimpy was rated as an adult cartoon. My brother and I could only watch it when our dad didn't know/wasn't there.
Lol it’s the fact that I’ve watched at least a few episodes from each of those shows as a child, but can’t recall my initial reaction of them

90s kids in America are hard to freak out. We had some werid crap to watch ... idk how my parents didn't find these shows creepyhaha
Didn’t even show them The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. All the dark cartoons of our childhood are the best ones 😂
I’m surprised The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack didn’t make the cut (or anything Cartoon Network made for that matter)
The creators of many of these cartoons were on drugs, especially Ren and Stimpy.
Let's not forget the old Donald Duck cartoon where he makes his nephews smoke cigars until they drop.
courage the cowardly dog was one of my favorites growing up, my dad and i always watched it together 😭
Tiny toons touched on delicate subjects in ways that taught children not to go that path, only bad things follow
I used to watch Courage. It was not my favourite but I always watched it since there was nothing else. I dont really remember anything in details or any episodes particularly so it didn't really scar me or anything.
I used to watch Happy Tree Friends with my older brother on Netflix when I was 7 we just watched it as if it was a regular kids show
American cartoons are always full of "hidden" adult jokes and themes that children wouldn't understand.
The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, Courage the cowardly dog and Ed, Edd n Eddy were my childhood
These cartoons were my literal Childhood to early adult. I actually watched Ren and Stimpy when it came out. I was 9-10, my brother a year younger. We LOVED that show. My dad even watched it with us! He loved it. lol And Courage was a GREAT show. So under rated.

Also the butts. So many butts. The show really liked showing them cakes! 🍑
I never realized how disturbing the scenes are- I grew up watching it and never noticed it😭✌
I grew up with all these shows. Even as an adult now ni still love them. P.s I like creepy shit so it's all good on my end. Lol love ur reactions lol
I grew up in France. Very popular cartoons/anime were Sophie's Misfortunes (adaptation of Countess of Ségur's book) and Princess Sarah. Both were little girls, orphans, abused constantly by adults and other children too sometimes. And we watched it all. It would freak me out but I still watched it.
these were the best types for me honestly. i loved them and always will.
They should have put in The marvelous misadventures of flapjack 😂😂
When I was growing up, I actively avoided the gross ones because I hate stuff like that so I never really watched spongebob or gravity falls or the regular show. They were too weird and creepy for me
Some of the cartoons like Ren and Stimpy were geared towards adults, but there are a lot of mentally I’ll people in this world and work in all different kinds of jobs
Ok In all fairness Ren and Stimpy was an Adult cartoon that before there was a market for inappropriate dark adult cartoons being accepted that way in the US. The closest thing at the time was The Simpsons which is tame by comparison.
Random but I would like to nominate a video where they react to “TH-cam apologies” I recommend the following:
1) Sienna Mae
2) James Charles
And more 😂
Ren and stimpy was a kids cartoon but now adays it considered a adult cartoon
I grew watching these from Carton Network and never realized some weren't suitable for kids:
Courage the cowardly dog
Ed, edd and Eddie
Codename kids next door
Oswald
Samurai Jack
Powerpuff girls
Johnny bravo
Ben 10
Looney tunes
Dexter's lab
Should've showed them flapjack and Mr meaty, some of those episodes seriously freaked me out as a kid lol.
OMG YES IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW YOU GUYS REACTED TO CREEPY CARTOONS :)
Please do a part 2
@@4IS44C Yes but this time looney tunes and magical talking animals American cartoons
@@ronaldpagar6513 and courage the cowardly dog your not perfect and return the slab
Didnt include "The Slab" from courage the cowardly dog, that episode gave me PTSD for years to come
the one behind "The Ren & Stimpy Show" was a big fan of Bob Clampett. Bob Clampett worked for Warner Bros. and animated the weirder Looney Tunes cartoons. If you watch some of Clampetts works you see the inspiration.
Children knows about death just as much as adults and they have all the other feelings that should be developed as well. These cartoons were actually adult cartoons.
I still can’t watch that episode of courage it makes me really emotional to this day.
I was TERRIFIED, to say the least at Courage in my childhood.
I used to watch Courage The Cowardly Dog all the time when I was younger. Along with The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy. Though ones that were a bit of a head turner were Cow & Chicken. And then there was Cat & Dog.
0:43 loved happy tree friends as a kid tbh
This is sort of the reverse of what I was trying to find, since this video is of people from an Eastern country reacting to Western cartoons.
For Courage The Cowardly Dog that was actually my favorite episode.
Courage the Cowardly Dog was one of my faves , also you should definitely had shown them the cartoon called Tree Friends 🤣🤣🤣 it's another great cartoon which I loved as a kid
i kinda miss the era of kids shows that would just mildly traumatize you, that was like S-tier shit right there
the fact that i used to love all of these 😭
omg i would love to see them react to the “don’t hug me i’m scared” series
Ren & Stimpy was the best cartoon ever. It had incredibly dark humor. But that's what it was Humor. 30 yrs later and I still sing some of the songs from that show. ("Everyone Wants a Log, Everyone Needs a Log... It's Log Log Log!")
It was the kind of show that made fun of it's own stupidity. 🤣🤣
🤣 I grew up watching Ren and Stimpy in elementary. I loved it.
Courage the cowardly dog was literally my favorite cartoon growing up lol
Kids' cartoons don't need plots or meanings, it should be treated as an entertainment and that's it. No emotional barriers, stress-relief and creative concepts. I understand that they're not used to these kinds of genres for kids but like... back down a little, not everyone is like weirded out by these
Should have defiently shown Invader zim, the first episode legit has a childs eyes being taken out at the end..
Should’ve done the exorcist scene from courage the cowardly dog lmao
Courage The Cowardly Dog will forever be my favorite show growing up!
