Not gonna lie, im 24 now and that ending scene of the KND saying goodbye still gets me. Too many childhood friends I don’t talk to anymore for no reason.
I'm only 19 but so much has happened in my life compared to my peers that I feel like I should already be a drunk and bitter 40 something year old man.
ChocoGamin3 don’t keep to yourself. I hardly talk to any of my friends from high school but that’s just me. I do well on my own. But don’t limit the amount of friends you can have just because you might lose them. Especially during high school, there will never be a more social time in your life than now. And if you don’t try to enjoy it, you’ll regret it. You won’t have memories to think back on. You’ll miss opportunities that you’ll never get again. I’m 24 and can say my friends made high school one of the best times of my life
The fact that the delightful kids from down the lane were revealed to be top tier KND operatives in their hayday was absolutely shocking to me. This show was top tier
Does this mean that the DCFDTL A. K. A. Sector Z are immortal? Since they were children being delightfulized back when Numbuh 0 was still very well known, but when they show back up Monty & Father are grown ups.
@@J__T I don't think so- Father said he personally Delightfulized them with a machine that blew a fuse that amped up the power "eleventy-billionfold," making the effects unable to truly be reverted, even with the Recommissioning Module. It's possible that they may no longer be able to grow up because the machine made them into the perfect Delightful CHILDREN; if they were legendary missing operatives- who we can assume have been gone for at least a few years- then they should probably be teens by that point in the series. How ironic would that be? So eager to grow up, yet being forever unable to.
Id say the one of the main reasons that shows like KND, Ed edd n eddy, courage the cowardly dog and OG spongebob were so full of quality and loved by viewers young and old is because they were hand made with care in an era where families often shared one screen in their homes
Natti Dread a powerful comment, I remember having one tv, one computer that was so slow, and after I came home from school that was my TV time and my mom would put up with the shows even watching them at times. Once my dad came home, he didn’t really put up with it and would take the control and put on boring news. Much like Father from KND
No that's not it. Late 70z and 80s had the same setup as the 90s and that is considered the dark age of cartoons. Where shows were just long commercials to sell toys and were mostly dumb shelock. The simple answers is they just cared period.
My house had three tvs. I watched my cartoons alone and so did my sister. And we both love Spongebob. Why were these cartoons good? Because they were 100% UNIQUE and werent afraid to be "Weird" sometimes.
I think the decommissioning memory wipe is a brilliant way to represent how, when you're a kid, it can seem like the adults around you have no memory of what it was like to be your age at all, like what they are is separate from what you are completely
Why are there no shows like this anymore? Kids having that mindset that being a kid is the greatest. Which is true. Kids nowadays are just rushing to grow up.
I had to grow up fast because of my situation as a child, but this show and so many others on Cartoon Network at the time got me through my tough childhood and helped me stay in a tiny bubble of being just a normal kid for once, even if it was for 11 minutes. I think that's why I've always loved cartoons and anime.
Yeah it’s true. I guess my generations only real objective is to grow up that way we can be adults. I used to want to be a operative but now I know it’s to late and it won’t ever happen
Because of the rise and popularity of social media and streaming services. Back then, we didn't have that so I guess that's why Cartoon Network had wonderfully crafted, fun, and yet plot-driven cartoons. Nowadays, they pump out mindless shows just for a quick buck rather than to entertain.
One of the strengths of KND, I think, is that it recognized the need to expand upon it's initial premise. If it had just stayed where it was in Season 1, with just the main crew in the treehouse, it probably would have been decent, but by expanding the premise to a much larger scale, making it a global organization with millions of members, it opened up the door to so many more story ideas and characters to explore. Plus, we got to know our main cast much better along the way, seeing more facets of their personalities and their relationships with the people around them. I think they took the show about as far as it needed to go (though, admittedly, I started to lose track of it around season 6) and ended on a pretty strong note. I don't necessarily think it needs a revival/sequel series, but if there's enough there for it to work and feel worthwhile, I'd be fine with it.
@Shaman Xeed Honestly, though, it ran for six seasons and had a pretty solid finale, so I don't think it has anything left to prove. It's often better when a series knows it's run its course. Plus, while the show did well and has plenty of fans, I don't think it quite has the same brand recognition as a Dexter or a Powerpuff or an Ed, so bringing it back could be risky.
@Shaman Xeed I just think KND is in this weird sort of place popularity-wise. Yes, it clearly did well, but I feel like bringing it back with them as adults would be risky. Kids now haven't really seen KND, so it wouldn't really relate to them, and the adults that did might not be a big enough audience now (there are fans, yes, but not every kid that watched the show back then is still gonna be interested in it as an adult).
yes its like teen titans in that way...sure it has its core 5 team members main characters but by expanding who they hang with for a certain week or where the story goes we learn more about them too and the world...so yeah you can tell more stories that way ..its hard after like 20 eps to do the same thing over and over again ..thats why you gotta respect courage and ed edd and eddy..they knew how to switch it up...
no no no no guys, what needs to happen is for them to bring back the original and make it as accessible to watch as possible. Same with all the classic cartoons.
I don't think it would work outside of the 90's - 00's backdrop art style included, there's just so many little bits that make knd knd that i genuinely think cannot be replicated in this children's media climatee
One thing I really enjoyed about KND was that they gave all of the main characters their own episodes (meaning on occasion no one except for the focus character was there or everyone else got a quick cameo if not a small part) which explored who they were and what they did outside of KND.
Austin Hinton Yeah those episodes were the best especially when it had her competing or fighting against Stickybeard or with Henrietta. It was cool seeing their dynamic with each other.
@@Gunfighter150 I agree. Her relationship with Stickybeard was probably one the most interesting to me, because they didn't always have an antagonistic relationship to one another, but occasionally one of mutual respect. Heck, I remember in one episode, Stickybeard specifically asks for her help when the licorice pirates came and he realized he couldn't handle them alone. That was probably one of the most interesting episodes to me because it showed that even enemies can have respect for one another and even ask for each other's help at times. Not to mention her relationship with Cree. By far the most interesting yet saddest sibling relationship I've ever seen on television.
@@leirawhitehart1236 Numbuh Five really was the most interesting out of the squad. Her sister was a traitor to their group and is one of their biggest enemies almost destroying it several times over. Then she had an episode that explored in depth why some soon to be decommission members turn rogue instead of retiring willingly and remember she would had fully cross the line of betraying the knd if Maurice didn’t prove she could still be an ally when she gets older. At one point she was the leader instead of Numbuh 1 which makes sense when you remember how many episodes had her call out his bad decisions or ridiculous assumptions which makes you wonder just how did she mess up so bad by being so mission focus that she made him get captured and permanently lose his hair. Although Sector V had a mixed reputation with the other KND for being the most successful and unruly squad of the KND, she still is a heavily respected member. Numbuh 86 gave her respect during her debut episode even if it was from her misogyny but when she tried to find someone to temporarily replace Numbuh 1 as leader, she immediately back down when Numbuh 5 cited her guilt for her last run as leader and demanded for Numbuh 2 or 3 to take over if not her.
Nerdstalgic: Getting older sucks. Me You got that right. What I love about KND is that it teaches kids that no matter how old you get, you should never forget your childhood and the person that made you what you are today. My own childhood and my entire life sucks, but when I always felt down or depressed, animation is what always brought me back from the darkness that is reality. Codename: Kids Next Door was a fantastic show, because it shows that kids can have wild imaginations, but they also should be treated with respect as well. The problem nowdays is that too many kids are wanting to become adults, but never realise how much time they still have to enjoy their childhoods, before getting into stuff like high school, college and work. Because when you become older, you have less freedom to do the things you love doing in your free time. You should enjoy the free time that you have as a kid, because those moments won't last forever, better enjoy your childhood while you still can, because you won't have a second chance afterwards.
Me too. I counted down while they all put their hands together without even thinking of it. This video reminded me of how addicted I was to that whole show. To numbers 1-5. I loved them so much. I may have forgotten them for a while, but they've always been in my heart
Cartoon Network:"Do I smell an old time classic being loved by many and can still hold up nowdays" *Evil smirk* "Guess it's time to reboot it to the opposite"
As Robin Williams once said: "You got to be crazy, It’s too late to be sane, too late You got to go full-tilt bozo Cause, you’re only given a little spark of madness If you lose that, you’re nothing Don’t ever lose that cause it keeps you alive." That spark of insanity in KND was something I loved when I watched it, the crazy ways they'd name their devices and vehicles was amazing.
I told my girlfriend about Battle Ready Armor. She had never seen KND Before but as I told her about that episode she couldn’t stop laughing and couldn’t believe it was a kids show. Then I realized how much this show did jokes that really only older people would understand, it was truly genius and hilarious to rewatch the older you get
cartoon network shows had jokes like that all the fucking time cn actually got away with a lot of stuff back then hince why they suck now their shows have none of the hornyness or violence they used to have which why is they suck
@Holly Marie Bernardino Its Opertation CA.R.A.M.E.L. Basically, its set up like how Ed gives up his alchemy to save Al and promotes the values of sharing in the manga, except the plot revolves around candy. Oh, and they didn't do it before the finale premiered, the creator obvious followed either the manga or the original Japanese releases.
Our culture ridicules behavior or interests in adults that seem "childish." To be honest, it isn't about the interests you have. Maturity is about knowing what you want in life and knowing how to achieve that, not always taking the easiest way out, but having the strength to account for your actions and be an active force. You can make sure you take care of all the necessities in life like work, bills, family, etc., but make sure to schedule in time to do something a little more fun. Even watch KND if you want. Except for very childish shows meant for kids 0-6 (you know, the ones that talk down to their audience and try to be as educational as possible), etc., I've never stopped loving, enjoying, and analyzing these cartoons I grew up with. They hold more meaning to me now in fact because of videos like this.
Hear, hear! I think as an adult, you can appreciate more the creativity and the underlying message in a way you wouldn't as a kid - cuz as a kid, you're just enjoying it. A show like "KND" fits that perfectly: as a kid, you're enjoying it cuz that IS your world; as an adult, it's a fun look at the creativity and imagination of a kid's mind, as well as a bit of nostalgia. We ALL remember taking ordinary things or places and turning them into amazing inventions through fantastic flights of fancy. A single room becomes a multi-roomed, multi-storied headquarters; a seat in the backyard becomes the world's most sophisticated car or plane; the local neighborhood becomes exotic locales and time periods; and everyday objects become inventive tools. That's what made childhood so fun! It's kind of fun to look back, even while watching your own or others' kids do it. For a moment, you're immersed in their world - and your past.
even the early childhood stuff has its place. true, they often talk down to the audience so much that an adult cant watch more than a couple of episodes at a time, but early childhood shows have a very unique, wholesome feel not really matched by much else. Some are also significantly better than others. As one example, i remember the show "max and ruby", with more society based lessons than your standard math or languages, and it also respected its young audience enough where i could actually enjoy episodes on sick days for memories of simpler times. Again, i am not saying it is worth it to go out of your way to watch them, but they do have a place in keeping sanity in the stress of the "adult world".
@@cullenlatham2366 I mean, there's a genre of anime that manages to be completely wholesome without talking down to its audience. It's called "iyashikei" (Japanese for "healing")
I legitimately cried at the ending of this video. You never realize how much you loved something into someone shows you how special it was. I'll never forget the lesson that K.N.D taught me. embrace the strange & different, always be open to change, & nothing is better than being a kid
They have one for Boomerang, it's on VRV, but yeah, I wish they would get rid of Cartoon Network Video and their shows on Hulu and Netflix and just have their own service. They don't even update what's on Hulu anymore.
I hate how theres a standard that adults can't like kids stuff. Adults already have bad enough lives , why cant they spend some time indulging in fun stuff
Do it anyways! If you wanna watch cartoons, go ahead! Who says you only have to watch the nightly news or the "McNeill/Lehrer News Report" cuz it's "mature" and for "sophisticated adults"? I'd rather climb in the cardboard box with Spongebob and Patrick and use my "I-magi-NA-tion!" Maturity's overrated anyways!😁
To me, it depends. Many of the older cartoons, like Kids Next Door, are good enough that anyone can enjoy them, regardless of age, because they are well-made and have some intelligence behind them. Most recent cartoons are just stupid, lazy garbage that you would have to search long and hard through just to find a few examples of intelligence.
I always ADORED KND, but I could never quite but into words just what made it such a standout. I think you've done just that! Amazing video! Makes me want to rewatch the whole show.
At first glance I knew I was gonna travel through some old nostalgia feelings..... But you ending the video with the amazing ending quote by number 1 really made me want to cry a bit......
I think one of the most subtle references they ever pulled off in this show was when Numbuh 1 crash landed in a deserted paradise for kids but then figured out that he was under mind control and clicked his heels together to activate his rocket boots to get out of the dream. I took me years to realize that although the rest of the episode isn’t referencing it, that specific plot point of clicking his heels together to wake up from a dream is from the Wizard of Oz.
That Numbuh 1 speech still brings tears to my eyes. Cartoons like these just don't exist anymore. Probably never will. Pity. KND was one of the legendary shows. As a kid I always thought of myself as an official member of KND. To this day, I refuse to grow up and let my inner child die.
The last bit actually made me tear up. This was a wonderful show that was part of my childhood. Won't ever forget and promise to never grow up in my heart 👆
My guess is lemon. It would fit in terms of color, plus the sour flavor is distinct from the creaminess of vanilla, the richness of chocolate, or the sweetness of strawberry.
I always figured it tasted exactly like an ice cream sundae. Mainly because the “flavor of the day” Numbuh 5 had to guess in order to enter the temple was “sundae”.
The best way to sum up the uniqueness of that show, is a Live action cartoon. I can't think of any live action show that has moments like it, I love it.
Pre-middle school me loved every episode. Middle school me remembered every lesson. If I had to choose it would be between Ned's Declassified and Wakfu.
KND is one the most solid pieces of fiction I've ever seen! It is very unfortunate that we'll never get Galactic Kids Next Door, but I still love what we have!
I remember being a kid and wishing to keep the memories of my emotions towards things that I felt adults couldn't understand or I should say forgot they had at one point in my mind so I could create my very own kids show that would make perfect sense when anyone viewed it, and could experience that nostalgia again. I forgot everything.
Rewatched the entire series a couple months ago and it's still my favorite cartoon after all these years. How creative it was and how it parodies the action spy genre through the lens of childhood woes and imagination... Here's hoping the proposed G:KND sequel gets picked up eventually.
Some of my friends sometimes critisize me for being childish and watching cartoons and playing video games and stuff (not that modern adults don't do it but ok) but after watching this video I'm kinda proud of myself.
Eh, I am 24 and just finished watching KND again. I rewatch from time to time Megas XLR, Foster's Home, 6teen, Storm Hawks, Ed, Edd n Eddy and other shows.
Yeah Don't listen to lifeless trolls As long as you are a functional member of society, who cares? Most of them probably gossip and behave like sheep or hate pointlessly. That is childish, not what you do
What the heck, I don't remember any of these episodes. I just remember numbah 3 constantly screaming WAAAAAAALLLLLY and the Super Rainbow Monkies...and I think there was one episode where numbah 5 got sick.
Oh god the tears wont stop. I forgot all about this and looking now as an adult i became everything i didnt want to be and my life is somewhat of a mess :(
When a production crew whether an animated studio or not make a tv seires, they don't make them for ratings and profit. They made them at their creative chaos peak for not just kids, but for everyone like KND. Plain and simple. Maybe the world need a series like that again.
I grew up in a poor household (we were blessed to have one tv and a family member that payed for the cable) and was extremely sheltered and never really got to go places so watching cartoons really helped. During the day I'd watch cartoons and at night I'd stay up sometimes to watch anime like bleach and dragon ball z. I remember wanting to grow up fast so that I could go out more and escape poverty and now that I'm older, I really appreciate being able to grow up with cartoons. Wish I could go back to being a kid for one more day
@@lurkingPabs The crossover for me It's a highlight from both shows, If it will be reviewed, I think it needs to be reviewed separately from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
I voted for it when it was a pilot they might pick up. I was rallying behind it! When it got picked up I was ecstatic and watched it endlessly. My wife is a little bit younger than me, and caught syndicated reruns of it. It's her favorite cartoon and she wasn't there to vote for it to continue. I don't know I just think there's something really cool about the fact that kid me voting for a show I wanted more of could help shape an entire childhood.
something that I loved about the show was how ingenious they were at creating things. things that a child (in a way) could create. It was as if creatives really thought like children and lived their imagination. That's something that really influenced a lot, since every friend I had told me "hey, look, I created this weapon with a pencil and chewing gum and I call it" pencilgumer ".It was something great and they told you about the phases that you were going to go through after your childhood. I can't express how great they tackled all of that.
@Homeslice Heroes there's a teeny tiny glimmer of hope. And that's all that matters to me, it might be small, but it's there. If the creator himself and the same voice actors are dedicated enough to reprise their roles for a couple of shorts, I'm with them all the way
@Homeslice Heroes um... I think the revival of Rocko and Invader Zim, by your admission, is not 'financially feasible' and should not be tried... Except it did. Sorry but your argument just fell.
kids next door is honestly one of my favorite shows ever. it has such a good cast of characters and its vibe is just.... so wonderful. it had really neat world building too. thank you for putting a spotlight on it
Watched two other videos from this channel before, this video was my reason to sub. It's very professional and struck a chord in my nostalgic hearth. If he does a Jimmy neutron one I'm resubbing
I remember being blown away by the fact that KND had a moonbase and that the war being fought was on a global scale. I thought it was awesome. No other show on television at the time was performing at the scale KND was, at least for me. Everything from the pirates raiding the moonbase in the movie to the Death Star parody when raiding the middle school with hundreds of their own ships was amazing.
Bro why do you have to dig so deep into my childhood. Grim adventures of billy and mandy, then courage the cowardly dog, then KND?!? i will never see a cartoon era as great as the late 90's and im glad i was there every step of the way.
I love this channel just for putting in the effort to produce respectable video essays on deserving shows from my childhood that never seemed to be given a serious look anywhere else.
I have to say, I’m no where near old enough to have watched this show all the way. But I do know that the few episodes I saw when I was younger I will always remember. This show was and is like my dream/life. Seeing the ending without ever even watching the whole show still hit me really hard.
KND ended when I turned 13 and I remember feeling like it was my fault lol. I design characters nowadays at 29 and I feel like shows like this have left a great and positive impact on how I look at my creative work. Bless this show 💕
This show is a huge part of my childhood. Captured emotions that I wasn’t familiar with at the time, but became familiar with over time. Times changing, growing up, etc. Knd is a legendary series.
only now after watching this video have I finally looked at all the storyboards posted for KND and as an artist they're so amazing! The creator had an amazing sense of shot direction and making scenes not feel dull or mundane! As an artist these seem like amazing things to learn from! What an amazing creator and team for bringing this show to life
Oh dear lord, that really hit home. Nearing 30, this brought back so many memories of how I/we used to play as kids - I don't wanna make this about whether or not we grew up with screens in our hands or had to use our imagination - it's not a 'we had a better childhood than you'-thing. I feel very fortunate to still be spiritually in contact with my inner child, but the reality is, that it rarely gets to play like it used to. I rarely saw the value in 'growing up'. I was a late bloomer with younger siblings that mean the world to me - I found it natural to stay inside the world of the young mind, and still to this day, I hate the fact that a certain age means that you 'should' be or behave a certain way. Maturity, adulthood, and responsibilities aren't meaningless, but the issues arrive when 'a number of days you've lived' should suddenly make you something specifically different from what you used to be. Sure, we all change, naturally, but society could use a big old smash with the slow-motion-hammer, to give people more time to play. People are way too busy, and if you ask them what life is about, what will they say? I'd say life is about playing - in the broadest sense of the word - making your own sense of the world, and having fun with it.
I swear this was one of my favorite shows of all time next to flapjack and chowder this was top tier heck let me bring out my fandom alright i use to went to this wedding when I was little and I told everyone there why this was my favorite show and why I am number four man you even know that was the most embarrassing thing I ever done in my life still no regrets to this day for doing it 😎
I'm going to be 20, and I still watch these kinds of cartoons. Just a couple of weeks ago I lost my mind and turned back into my 12 year old self when I found the entire first season of Teen Titans on sale. And when I got home and watched it, for just awhile I was brought back to a simpler time. Back to not having to worry about bills and finding a job or anything like that. If I can ever find Corage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Codename Kids Next Door, or the rest of the Teen Titans episodes on DVD you can bet your ass I'll get them all
Seeing this video and reminiscing over the memories of this show makes me proud that being 32 years old, most people I know say I'm a big kid. As much adulting I actually do in my life, I'm glad I never lost that fun, child-like side of me. I suspect that I never will.
7:31 "I-I-I-I can't explain a thing / I-I-I-I want everything / To change and stay the same / Oh, time doesn't care / About anyone or anything" never thought I'd be hearing FOB lyrics in my head while watching a video about KND while playing minecraft in another window and yet here we are. the first few lines of (Coffee's for Closers) fit oddly well with the topic of the duality of wanting to stay a kid forever but simultaneously wanting to grow up, and how inevitably, time marches on, and you can't really have both. huh.
What show should I cover next?

One of the strengths of KND, I think, is that it recognized the need to expand upon it's initial premise. If it had just stayed where it was in Season 1, with just the main crew in the treehouse, it probably would have been decent, but by expanding the premise to a much larger scale, making it a global organization with millions of members, it opened up the door to so many more story ideas and characters to explore. Plus, we got to know our main cast much better along the way, seeing more facets of their personalities and their relationships with the people around them. I think they took the show about as far as it needed to go (though, admittedly, I started to lose track of it around season 6) and ended on a pretty strong note. I don't necessarily think it needs a revival/sequel series, but if there's enough there for it to work and feel worthwhile, I'd be fine with it.
@Shaman Xeed Honestly, though, it ran for six seasons and had a pretty solid finale, so I don't think it has anything left to prove. It's often better when a series knows it's run its course. Plus, while the show did well and has plenty of fans, I don't think it quite has the same brand recognition as a Dexter or a Powerpuff or an Ed, so bringing it back could be risky.
@Shaman Xeed I just think KND is in this weird sort of place popularity-wise. Yes, it clearly did well, but I feel like bringing it back with them as adults would be risky. Kids now haven't really seen KND, so it wouldn't really relate to them, and the adults that did might not be a big enough audience now (there are fans, yes, but not every kid that watched the show back then is still gonna be interested in it as an adult).
yes its like teen titans in that way...sure it has its core 5 team members main characters but by expanding who they hang with for a certain week or where the story goes we learn more about them too and the world...so yeah you can tell more stories that way ..its hard after like 20 eps to do the same thing over and over again ..thats why you gotta respect courage and ed edd and eddy..they knew how to switch it up...
no no no no guys, what needs to happen is for them to bring back the original and make it as accessible to watch as possible. Same with all the classic cartoons.
I don't think it would work outside of the 90's - 00's backdrop art style included, there's just so many little bits that make knd knd that i genuinely think cannot be replicated in this children's media climatee
in mexico they called it " los chicos del barrio" literaly translates to " the boys from the hood" lol
in brazil the name was very similar
That makes it sound like it is a show about gangsters.
In this sense the title actually translates to "The Kids in the Neighborhood"
@@1800mexicano The Kids from the Neighborhood**
C'mon Mexico...
One thing I really enjoyed about KND was that they gave all of the main characters their own episodes (meaning on occasion no one except for the focus character was there or everyone else got a quick cameo if not a small part) which explored who they were and what they did outside of KND.
gunfighter Hell, Numbah 5 had a whole series of candy-hunting escapades.
Austin Hinton Yeah those episodes were the best especially when it had her competing or fighting against Stickybeard or with Henrietta. It was cool seeing their dynamic with each other.
@@Gunfighter150 I agree. Her relationship with Stickybeard was probably one the most interesting to me, because they didn't always have an antagonistic relationship to one another, but occasionally one of mutual respect.
Heck, I remember in one episode, Stickybeard specifically asks for her help when the licorice pirates came and he realized he couldn't handle them alone.
That was probably one of the most interesting episodes to me because it showed that even enemies can have respect for one another and even ask for each other's help at times.
Not to mention her relationship with Cree.
By far the most interesting yet saddest sibling relationship I've ever seen on television.
yeah watching this show again and it amazes me that each of the kids got their own episodes and showed what they liked or did outside of KND.
@@leirawhitehart1236 Numbuh Five really was the most interesting out of the squad. Her sister was a traitor to their group and is one of their biggest enemies almost destroying it several times over. Then she had an episode that explored in depth why some soon to be decommission members turn rogue instead of retiring willingly and remember she would had fully cross the line of betraying the knd if Maurice didn’t prove she could still be an ally when she gets older.
At one point she was the leader instead of Numbuh 1 which makes sense when you remember how many episodes had her call out his bad decisions or ridiculous assumptions which makes you wonder just how did she mess up so bad by being so mission focus that she made him get captured and permanently lose his hair.
Although Sector V had a mixed reputation with the other KND for being the most successful and unruly squad of the KND, she still is a heavily respected member. Numbuh 86 gave her respect during her debut episode even if it was from her misogyny but when she tried to find someone to temporarily replace Numbuh 1 as leader, she immediately back down when Numbuh 5 cited her guilt for her last run as leader and demanded for Numbuh 2 or 3 to take over if not her.
Nerdstalgic: Getting older sucks.
Me You got that right.
What I love about KND is that it teaches kids that no matter how old you get, you should never forget your childhood and the person that made you what you are today. My own childhood and my entire life sucks, but when I always felt down or depressed, animation is what always brought me back from the darkness that is reality. Codename: Kids Next Door was a fantastic show, because it shows that kids can have wild imaginations, but they also should be treated with respect as well. The problem nowdays is that too many kids are wanting to become adults, but never realise how much time they still have to enjoy their childhoods, before getting into stuff like high school, college and work. Because when you become older, you have less freedom to do the things you love doing in your free time. You should enjoy the free time that you have as a kid, because those moments won't last forever, better enjoy your childhood while you still can, because you won't have a second chance afterwards.
God I am so fortunate I was old enough to experience this show in my childhood.
Where are my fellow Mid 90s babies at?
they still have reruns
Sup!
Ed, Edd n Eddy along with KND - best childhood.
Born in ‘95, baby!
Born in 92
That final line from the finale made me tear up as a kid....
I'm still not strong enough for it.
I was literally crying during that moment in the video. I wasn’t prepared.
Same it caught me off guard
Same ;_;
Yep, teared up.
Me too. I counted down while they all put their hands together without even thinking of it. This video reminded me of how addicted I was to that whole show. To numbers 1-5. I loved them so much. I may have forgotten them for a while, but they've always been in my heart
Cartoon Network:"Do I smell an old time classic being loved by many and can still hold up nowdays"

You got to go full-tilt bozo
Cause, you’re only given a little spark of madness
If you lose that, you’re nothing
Don’t ever lose that cause it keeps you alive."
That spark of insanity in KND was something I loved when I watched it, the crazy ways they'd name their devices and vehicles was amazing.
Yeah... 😄
I read the quote while picturing the genie
KND is the reason I’m working to become an engineer. God this show was good.
Good luck to you Cum Cannon
That's awesome. Hope you can build some of the best 2x4 technology this world has ever seen
Im relying to you my 2x4 technology...
@Dallas Patton oh of course were going to comment on it. That...name...is the opposite of the KND.
@Dallas Patton That's what he is going to help get developed.
I told my girlfriend about Battle Ready Armor. She had never seen KND Before but as I told her about that episode she couldn’t stop laughing and couldn’t believe it was a kids show. Then I realized how much this show did jokes that really only older people would understand, it was truly genius and hilarious to rewatch the older you get
cartoon network shows had jokes like that all the fucking time cn actually got away with a lot of stuff back then hince why they suck now their shows have none of the hornyness or violence they used to have which why is they suck
loads of cartoon network shows in the 90s and early 2000s did that
Like the car full of old fries.
So we gonna gloss over the episode C.A.R.A.M.E.L. which was straight up a parody of the finale of Full Metal Alcemist which wasn't even released yet?
I forgot about that one.
That whole sub-plot was just fantastic, honestly.
spill the sauce or the episode bro I love FMA
@Holly Marie Bernardino
Its Opertation CA.R.A.M.E.L.
Basically, its set up like how Ed gives up his alchemy to save Al and promotes the values of sharing in the manga, except the plot revolves around candy.
Oh, and they didn't do it before the finale premiered, the creator obvious followed either the manga or the original Japanese releases.
wow really? thats like my favorite episode
Our culture ridicules behavior or interests in adults that seem "childish." To be honest, it isn't about the interests you have. Maturity is about knowing what you want in life and knowing how to achieve that, not always taking the easiest way out, but having the strength to account for your actions and be an active force. You can make sure you take care of all the necessities in life like work, bills, family, etc., but make sure to schedule in time to do something a little more fun. Even watch KND if you want. Except for very childish shows meant for kids 0-6 (you know, the ones that talk down to their audience and try to be as educational as possible), etc., I've never stopped loving, enjoying, and analyzing these cartoons I grew up with. They hold more meaning to me now in fact because of videos like this.
Beautifully said, TayoEXE. I agree whole-heartedly!
Hear, hear! I think as an adult, you can appreciate more the creativity and the underlying message in a way you wouldn't as a kid - cuz as a kid, you're just enjoying it. A show like "KND" fits that perfectly: as a kid, you're enjoying it cuz that IS your world; as an adult, it's a fun look at the creativity and imagination of a kid's mind, as well as a bit of nostalgia. We ALL remember taking ordinary things or places and turning them into amazing inventions through fantastic flights of fancy. A single room becomes a multi-roomed, multi-storied headquarters; a seat in the backyard becomes the world's most sophisticated car or plane; the local neighborhood becomes exotic locales and time periods; and everyday objects become inventive tools. That's what made childhood so fun! It's kind of fun to look back, even while watching your own or others' kids do it. For a moment, you're immersed in their world - and your past.
even the early childhood stuff has its place. true, they often talk down to the audience so much that an adult cant watch more than a couple of episodes at a time, but early childhood shows have a very unique, wholesome feel not really matched by much else. Some are also significantly better than others. As one example, i remember the show "max and ruby", with more society based lessons than your standard math or languages, and it also respected its young audience enough where i could actually enjoy episodes on sick days for memories of simpler times. Again, i am not saying it is worth it to go out of your way to watch them, but they do have a place in keeping sanity in the stress of the "adult world".
Its because the kids shows where made by adults, or kids that grew up adults
@@cullenlatham2366 I mean, there's a genre of anime that manages to be completely wholesome without talking down to its audience. It's called "iyashikei" (Japanese for "healing")
I legitimately cried at the ending of this video. You never realize how much you loved something into someone shows you how special it was. I'll never forget the lesson that K.N.D taught me. embrace the strange & different, always be open to change, & nothing is better than being a kid
Legit cried. :( Miss being a kid sigh
Cartoon Network needs their own streaming service. Does any remember the tv movie Operation Zero.
Fantastic movie. It could've been two hours if you ask me.
Di Lung Move it Ya Fool! I know right but I wish Cartoon Network would show it again for the new generation

@@willcooper6935 It is.
They have one for Boomerang, it's on VRV, but yeah, I wish they would get rid of Cartoon Network Video and their shows on Hulu and Netflix and just have their own service. They don't even update what's on Hulu anymore.
My favorite thing was all the episode titles were acronyms for something. Even the equipment and weapons were acronyms!
I hate how theres a standard that adults can't like kids stuff. Adults already have bad enough lives , why cant they spend some time indulging in fun stuff
Do it anyways! If you wanna watch cartoons, go ahead! Who says you only have to watch the nightly news or the "McNeill/Lehrer News Report" cuz it's "mature" and for "sophisticated adults"? I'd rather climb in the cardboard box with Spongebob and Patrick and use my "I-magi-NA-tion!" Maturity's overrated anyways!😁
@@denisemayosky1955 nah i aint an adult im just saying
I agree. I hate it that put these weird standards on people regarding age.
Because adults expect you to suffer like them like, you know, as an adult?
To me, it depends. Many of the older cartoons, like Kids Next Door, are good enough that anyone can enjoy them, regardless of age, because they are well-made and have some intelligence behind them. Most recent cartoons are just stupid, lazy garbage that you would have to search long and hard through just to find a few examples of intelligence.
Its crazy how much I've forgotten about my childhood. I loved this show growing up.
Dont feel bad bro. It's because you got decommissioned
Internet moves so fast. Every 2 weeks we are onto something new
I always ADORED KND, but I could never quite but into words just what made it such a standout. I think you've done just that! Amazing video! Makes me want to rewatch the whole show.
... when you were so young when it aired that EVERY. SINGLE. REFERENCE. flew over your head even after watching pretty much every episode 😳
I didn’t even know it had references till now
I knew about some of the dragon ball z references but that's it 😂
At first glance I knew I was gonna travel through some old nostalgia feelings.....
But you ending the video with the amazing ending quote by number 1 really made me want to cry a bit......

I think one of the most subtle references they ever pulled off in this show was when Numbuh 1 crash landed in a deserted paradise for kids but then figured out that he was under mind control and clicked his heels together to activate his rocket boots to get out of the dream. I took me years to realize that although the rest of the episode isn’t referencing it, that specific plot point of clicking his heels together to wake up from a dream is from the Wizard of Oz.
this one hit me right in the feels. i turned 13 on the the day of the last episode.
That Numbuh 1 speech still brings tears to my eyes. Cartoons like these just don't exist anymore. Probably never will. Pity. KND was one of the legendary shows.
As a kid I always thought of myself as an official member of KND. To this day, I refuse to grow up and let my inner child die.
KND had me terrified of turning 13
No love for the Star Wars parody episode? I remember actually watching that on a snow day and wishing I could have a snowball fight that epic 😂
That episode was top tier!!
Deon Alec Steichen They fucking reenacted the Battle of Hoth!
What about the one where they reenact the death star trench run
"KIDS NEXT DOOR..."

same i was eating bread and tearing up

I promise 2 never grow up in my heart as well.
Till this day, I still don't know what flavor Ice Cream #5 had at the end of that one episode. Been guessing it for years.
My guess is lemon. It would fit in terms of color, plus the sour flavor is distinct from the creaminess of vanilla, the richness of chocolate, or the sweetness of strawberry.
@@Mister86TV It could also be lime
I always figured it tasted exactly like an ice cream sundae. Mainly because the “flavor of the day” Numbuh 5 had to guess in order to enter the temple was “sundae”.
number zero said that blurpleberry was the closest thing to the 4th flavor so I imagine a tart fruity flavor.
Passion fruit. Best ice cream flavor in the world, and it fits the color.
Add this to "things I care a lot about now that I didn't care about when I watched it growing up"
I’m getting all sentimental 😢 This show had such a deeper meaning than I remember!
Do you know how much stress Number 1 has to have to be bald at the age of 8? I can only imagine bro.
as the famous emgo says: "remember, you don't stop playing because you grow old. you grow old because you stop playing"
Codename kids next door is so freaking creative! Also the animation is amazing that it holds up today!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen KND in the context of a video essay analysis of this caliber. Thank you for this!
Ned’s Declassified school survival Guide!
Jack'sVlogs YES! I loved that show growing up,
Canceeeeled
The best way to sum up the uniqueness of that show, is a Live action cartoon. I can't think of any live action show that has moments like it, I love it.
Pre-middle school me loved every episode.
Middle school me remembered every lesson.
If I had to choose it would be between Ned's Declassified and Wakfu.
@@SIMIFU It's not unique. Scrubs is also a live action show with slapstick comedy. It came out way before Ned's Declassified.
KND is one the most solid pieces of fiction I've ever seen! It is very unfortunate that we'll never get Galactic Kids Next Door, but I still love what we have!
I remember being a kid and wishing to keep the memories of my emotions towards things that I felt adults couldn't understand or I should say forgot they had at one point in my mind so I could create my very own kids show that would make perfect sense when anyone viewed it, and could experience that nostalgia again.
I forgot everything.

Rewatched the entire series a couple months ago and it's still my favorite cartoon after all these years. How creative it was and how it parodies the action spy genre through the lens of childhood woes and imagination...
Here's hoping the proposed G:KND sequel gets picked up eventually.
where did you rewatch??
"Things every kid would pick up on"
*I did not pick on any of that when I was younger*
I had no freakin' clue that "Op: FOUNTAIN" was a full-episode pastiche of the first Harry Potter.
I picked up the Animatrix reference, but not this.
Some of my friends sometimes critisize me for being childish and watching cartoons and playing video games and stuff (not that modern adults don't do it but ok) but after watching this video I'm kinda proud of myself.
Eh, I am 24 and just finished watching KND again. I rewatch from time to time Megas XLR, Foster's Home, 6teen, Storm Hawks, Ed, Edd n Eddy and other shows.
Yeah
Don't listen to lifeless trolls
As long as you are a functional member of society, who cares?
Most of them probably gossip and behave like sheep or hate pointlessly. That is childish, not what you do
That Dragonball Z parody will forever be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen as a kid
What the heck, I don't remember any of these episodes. I just remember numbah 3 constantly screaming WAAAAAAALLLLLY and the Super Rainbow Monkies...and I think there was one episode where numbah 5 got sick.
idk why but cartoon network always repeated few episodes in my country from every cartoon
so I saw like 10-20 episodes for 10 times from every cartoon
Cartoon Network only likes replaying episodes that have mostly self contained continuity.

Appreciate it man! Thanks for giving the vids a shot!
When a production crew whether an animated studio or not make a tv seires, they don't make them for ratings and profit. They made them at their creative chaos peak for not just kids, but for everyone like KND. Plain and simple. Maybe the world need a series like that again.
I grew up in a poor household (we were blessed to have one tv and a family member that payed for the cable) and was extremely sheltered and never really got to go places so watching cartoons really helped. During the day I'd watch cartoons and at night I'd stay up sometimes to watch anime like bleach and dragon ball z. I remember wanting to grow up fast so that I could go out more and escape poverty and now that I'm older, I really appreciate being able to grow up with cartoons. Wish I could go back to being a kid for one more day

@@lurkingPabs The crossover for me It's a highlight from both shows, If it will be reviewed, I think it needs to be reviewed separately from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
Somehow I hated all of the characters in Billy and Mandy and still liked the show. I guess the whole was better than the sum of its parts lol.
I voted for it when it was a pilot they might pick up. I was rallying behind it! When it got picked up I was ecstatic and watched it endlessly.
My wife is a little bit younger than me, and caught syndicated reruns of it. It's her favorite cartoon and she wasn't there to vote for it to continue.
I don't know I just think there's something really cool about the fact that kid me voting for a show I wanted more of could help shape an entire childhood.
Seeing the ending of K.N.D again makes me tear up
something that I loved about the show was how ingenious they were at creating things. things that a child (in a way) could create. It was as if creatives really thought like children and lived their imagination. That's something that really influenced a lot, since every friend I had told me "hey, look, I created this weapon with a pencil and chewing gum and I call it" pencilgumer ".It was something great and they told you about the phases that you were going to go through after your childhood. I can't express how great they tackled all of that.

If Netflix can revive Invader Zim and Rocko's Modern Life, is there a chance Galactic Kids Next Door could become a reality?
@Homeslice Heroes there's a teeny tiny glimmer of hope. And that's all that matters to me, it might be small, but it's there. If the creator himself and the same voice actors are dedicated enough to reprise their roles for a couple of shorts, I'm with them all the way
@Homeslice Heroes um... I think the revival of Rocko and Invader Zim, by your admission, is not 'financially feasible' and should not be tried...
Except it did.
Sorry but your argument just fell.
But Netflix didn't revive Rocko or Zim. Nickelodeon did, we just have to keep asking Cartoon Network.

I’ll never forget the movie.
I remember being blown away by the fact that KND had a moonbase and that the war being fought was on a global scale. I thought it was awesome. No other show on television at the time was performing at the scale KND was, at least for me. Everything from the pirates raiding the moonbase in the movie to the Death Star parody when raiding the middle school with hundreds of their own ships was amazing.

I love this channel just for putting in the effort to produce respectable video essays on deserving shows from my childhood that never seemed to be given a serious look anywhere else.
I have to say, I’m no where near old enough to have watched this show all the way. But I do know that the few episodes I saw when I was younger I will always remember. This show was and is like my dream/life. Seeing the ending without ever even watching the whole show still hit me really hard.
KND ended when I turned 13 and I remember feeling like it was my fault lol. I design characters nowadays at 29 and I feel like shows like this have left a great and positive impact on how I look at my creative work. Bless this show 💕
The most memorable show of my childhood. Can never forget watching codename marathons during summer in CN 😍
This show is a huge part of my childhood. Captured emotions that I wasn’t familiar with at the time, but became familiar with over time. Times changing, growing up, etc. Knd is a legendary series.
only now after watching this video have I finally looked at all the storyboards posted for KND and as an artist they're so amazing! The creator had an amazing sense of shot direction and making scenes not feel dull or mundane! As an artist these seem like amazing things to learn from! What an amazing creator and team for bringing this show to life
This show, just like all of the other shows that came out during that golden age of the 2000's, was amazing and still is to me.
Oh dear lord, that really hit home. Nearing 30, this brought back so many memories of how I/we used to play as kids - I don't wanna make this about whether or not we grew up with screens in our hands or had to use our imagination - it's not a 'we had a better childhood than you'-thing. I feel very fortunate to still be spiritually in contact with my inner child, but the reality is, that it rarely gets to play like it used to. I rarely saw the value in 'growing up'. I was a late bloomer with younger siblings that mean the world to me - I found it natural to stay inside the world of the young mind, and still to this day, I hate the fact that a certain age means that you 'should' be or behave a certain way. Maturity, adulthood, and responsibilities aren't meaningless, but the issues arrive when 'a number of days you've lived' should suddenly make you something specifically different from what you used to be. Sure, we all change, naturally, but society could use a big old smash with the slow-motion-hammer, to give people more time to play. People are way too busy, and if you ask them what life is about, what will they say? I'd say life is about playing - in the broadest sense of the word - making your own sense of the world, and having fun with it.
You didn’t even mention the Monty Python parody episode with the spinach inquisition
I swear this was one of my favorite shows of all time next to flapjack and chowder this was top tier heck let me bring out my fandom alright i use to went to this wedding when I was little and I told everyone there why this was my favorite show and why I am number four man you even know that was the most embarrassing thing I ever done in my life still no regrets to this day for doing it 😎
I'm going to be 20, and I still watch these kinds of cartoons. Just a couple of weeks ago I lost my mind and turned back into my 12 year old self when I found the entire first season of Teen Titans on sale. And when I got home and watched it, for just awhile I was brought back to a simpler time. Back to not having to worry about bills and finding a job or anything like that. If I can ever find Corage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Codename Kids Next Door, or the rest of the Teen Titans episodes on DVD you can bet your ass I'll get them all
Seeing this video and reminiscing over the memories of this show makes me proud that being 32 years old, most people I know say I'm a big kid. As much adulting I actually do in my life, I'm glad I never lost that fun, child-like side of me. I suspect that I never will.
Aging is inevitable, maturing happens, but being a kid is eternal so long as you never forget to have fun and enjoy the little things in life.
7:31 "I-I-I-I can't explain a thing / I-I-I-I want everything / To change and stay the same / Oh, time doesn't care / About anyone or anything"
never thought I'd be hearing FOB lyrics in my head while watching a video about KND while playing minecraft in another window and yet here we are. the first few lines of (Coffee's for Closers) fit oddly well with the topic of the duality of wanting to stay a kid forever but simultaneously wanting to grow up, and how inevitably, time marches on, and you can't really have both. huh.
I’m so happy your making this channel!! I love these!!
You don't feel old because you're older. You feel old because you stopped having fun!
