This video was supposed to come out in 2023 💀
Wow! The support on this video has been absolutely unbelievable! When I uploaded this video, my channel had 524 subscribers and now, at the time of recording, we've gained exactly 200.
I don't know how this happened, or what specifically about this video made it happen. But thank you to everyone who has watched, liked, commented, subscribed and even gone on to watch some of my other videos. It means a lot to me that people enjoy the stuff that I put out and I hope you stick around for what else I have in store. 🍋❤👊
Definitely will 🗣️🗣️🗣️
this also aired in australia, and it was always a treat whenever it came on
I love how this video sounds like a british man talking to you from the other stall in a public bathroom but the editing and script are good so you're brain just accepts it
This is the best feedback I've ever received 🤣
Can't unhear it
The episode where Tanner turned into a teacher every time the bell sounded HORRIFIED me as a kid
that was my favourite episode.
My younger sister (at the time, six) adored Strange Hill High. That was her favourite episode.
Strange Hill High was so good and I’m annoyed that there aren’t more videos on the subject. Not only was it boundlessly creative but it was also absolutely hilarious. Anything with Richard Ayoade in is just gold and this show was no exception
I remember watching strange hill high when I was a kid I like it I watch on TV😊
This show was brilliant, its concept of it being in a Haunted School and being puppets really got me into the teen-horror genre.
I distinctly remember the Christmas Episode where an elf out of nowhere says "You will perish" to the other characters
Oh my god, dude so do I! I just randomly thought about an Elf with a very unfitting voice and had to find it.
I love murdoch (the caretaker) as a character, hes basically this shitty janiator who knows of all the terrible stuff happening in the school but doesnt really acknowledge them as something to be concerned about
(and also love the prosthetic arm he can switch attachments with and way he speaks but that's a small detail, probably)
@@mildlydumbperson8465he's the hagrid the show
I grew up with this show on CBBC. I loved coming home after school to tune into whatever strange thing was happening at the school that week, and what the gang would get into.
The show is still very funny, even as someone who’s almost heading towards his 20s.
The amount of puppets, props, sets, and effects used in every single episode shows the insane level of dedication and love the crew had for this show and it’s one of the things I love most about it.
Man, you've just unlocked a hidden tv show I used to watch on Netflix as a wee lad.
I remember watching this on Netflix as well
I remember watching it in the old CBBC with that nostalgic green logo. 😔
Same
Watched it on ABC3 way back
I knew their were others who watched this as a child like me
Same!
I only remember two moments from a single episode.
I think the headmaster got mixed with a frog or something and unleashed a giant guinea-pig on the school and said,
"Prepare to get nuzzled... TO DEATH!"
Then, they destroy the machine that made him a frog person, somehow reversing the effect, and one of the characters doesn't accept it, saying, "If you break your toaster, it doesn't turn your toast back into bread."
That's all I can recall.
Templeton is by far my favourite character: with the most witty lines and absurd characterizations. Especially in that 1984 episode xD
I remember one episode where the old grey teacher looks outside his window and sees POSTMAN PAT I can’t remember if I dreamt this or not
I thought I'd made it up as well.
But nope, it was real.
@@MonobrowMan oh my god
The whole show is like that I genuinely don’t know if half the stuff I remember about it is real
Strange hill was great, still can’t help but think of Templeton whenever I hear Richard Ayoad’s voice
I thought I heard romesh instead
wow same
2:46 richard ayoade detected 🤩
This show is part of a time period of television media we will never be able to go back to. This is the most 2013 show I’ve ever seen, and I love it for that.
I had the scene where a giant turtle monster was chasing the 3 students but the 3 students stopped running due to the slow speed of the turtle in my mind since years and I totally forgot the name of the show until now.
5:05
"Man thats lame."
"Shut up."
*"UOROORRGGHOOIGUGUGURGRHGGHGH"*
The joke at 3:10 to 3:18 is not only funny, but it's also hold some truth as one of the villains in X-Men is inspired by Malcolm X.
There's a certain part of this show that lives rent free in my head. The episode where becky discovers that she can sing really well if you pour water on her.
Another one is the one where Mitchell discovered a way to change reality ro match his whims and so maths now had stupid answers like banana milkshake or something.
It feels like a fever dream tbh. Tho, I was 9 at the time.
That first one is the one with the Grackle!
I will forever be pissed off that I ended up forgetting this show existed until recently. Thank GOD I remembered it when I was doing a bit of a Google Search for obscure shows from BBC, and then Strange Hill High popped up.
Becky Butters is probably my favorite character throughout the series. She just radiates so much energy for me that I vibe with.
1:35 holy shit the nostalgia, i was convinced i dreamed those old intros lol
2:46 and now i just realized that’s the same voice actor for onion in like apple and onion
even about 7 years after watching the show i still have reocurring dreams about the pool episode.
Peak character design
Shet, I forgot about Crimson Hill High. Thanks for reminding me about its glory, mate!
This show was on ABC in Australia back in the day. Surprisingly good.
4:13
I remember being scared of this show as a kid- because I always came home from school when the "scary" parts were on. And it's pisses me off, I'm Swedish and I remember this having a dub and I just wish I could hear the voices and how they handled the jokes but I will never be able to🥲
IDK why, but the cute designs of the characters that make them look like those Japanese-aesthetic superflat pop art you see in the good ol' days of DeviantART or Vinyl figurines that were popular in the mid-2000s and early 2010s mixed with the depressing, eerie, realistic settings are giving me The Amazing World of Gumball vibes.
bro I loved watching this as a kid. The theme song has no right to hit as hard as it does
me and my siblings fucking loved strange hill high. its so fucking good i cant believe ive heard like nobody else talk about it until now.
This show deserve more loves for strange hill high
Strange Hill High was one of the best British kids shows.
FINALLY SOME TALKS ABOUT HOW GOOD STRANGE HILL HIGH WAS
I got so tramatized by the wereteacher episode ( I have a major fear of Loseing my humanity) and only remembered it TODAY
The one I always remember is the "Safety Training" video episode.
I used to watch absolutely nothing but Strange hill high, and that's why im broken. I hope Gen A has a go with classics like this.
Finally people remember this show
I’ve been watching this show my whole life and I’m happy that it’s finally getting some sort of recognition. I wish they didn’t sell off the puppets since they may have been able to make more episodes.
mid - late 2010s is the time TV, especially British TV, kind of died. Looking at anything on the same channels now, its usually reruns of older shows, or kind of… boring, even lower budget new shows.
Still absolutely love the style of the puppets in Strange Hill High.
My face Litteraly froze out of nostalgia when I saw this thumbnail, this unlocked the deepest memories from the canopy’s of my brain and I’m all for it
i haven’t thought about this show in years
For a long time I would think that this show didnt exist. Where I live, strange hill high was aired only after midnight, right after that show about a kid and his rockstar uncle who was a ghost or something. Usually my parents would send me to my room by that time, so I very rarely watched strange hill. I remember that I was a bit scared of this show as a kid, but now, few years and new language later I realised that this show is hilarious. I really like how characters sound in english dubbing and the jokes are totally awesome. I'm glad there are people who talk about this show now, thanks to this I could rediscover a great animation that is Strange Hill High
I was obsessed with this show back in 2013/14. They really don't make shows like this anymore.
I love the little Sonichu medallion you flash for a split second at the Malcom X joke
Exams reawakened the core memory of the episode where he had to get -1 on a test
the character designs are so damn good, reminds me of early vinyl figures before funko pops.
I completely forgot about this tv show- it was my favourite when I was younger
the swimming pool episode where they find the kid that went missing who became a giant because of the fruit on an island scared me so much
Oh crap.
This video has opened my mind to a lot of memories that were previously forgotten, but now I remember all of it. I remember watching this show very late at night from time to time and I specifically remember the two episodes you mentioned in the video. I remember how fascinating it was both because of the art style and the content of the episodes itself.
This was one of my all time favourite shows growing up. It was funny, creative and really interesting ^^
One line I remember is when Mitchell tells Becky to break a leg when auditioning for a play or something just for templeton to say how awful that phrase is and has to have it explained to him that it meant good luck just for him to turn around and go
"Oh... Then I hope you get hit by a bus! :D"
I loved Strange Hill High but it became one of them memories where you can’t remember what it was. Then I found it again and rewatched a few episodes and it still stands up.
I loved this show as a kid and like fr it became a hyperfixation like 2 years ago or something lol so nice to see im not the only one who wants this to come back
Ah yes, this show, whenever It was on TV I'd always want to watch it, and when I was in Primary School, I remember there was this one Strange Hill High skateboard game I'd play on the computers in the library, although I forgot where I did that, regardless, I have fond memories of this show, It's probably one of the reasons why I enjoy these sort of concepts today c:
The episode I remember the most was the one where they found this abandoned classroom that was haunted with a bunch of ghosts.
This show looks awesome! I love how the animation style is claymation/stop-motion combined with puppet style wires. Possibly a reference to the works of Gerry Anderson? I think it's a huge shame we don't see any British claymation shows anymore, but at least Aardman is going to make a Wallace and Gromit movie sometime this year. I personally wish Engie Benjy had stuck around at least a little while longer, it's a really charming show and I just adore the character designs and dry British humor.
I am excited and apprehensive about the new Wallace & Gromit. I hope it's able to live up to the rest of the series. 🤞
Wait, theyre not actually puppets?
Goddd yes, this is still one of my favourite shows ever. not really in a nostalgia way, just the fact that it is consistently really funny! Like i think it is especially underrated for its comedy. i think its what developed my sense of humour tbh. like it was worked on by josh weinstein (from the simpsons)!!! and also the style is incredibly unique, i remember watching behind the scenes stuff about it where they said the way they created it was one of the hardest ways possible to animate - using "puppets, Japanese vinyl toys and digital effects". Just a great show.
Ah, I wondered if it was the same Josh Weinstein from the Simpsons. That makes a lot of sense.
Fun fact: my uni professor was a director on this, and when he told us about it I freaked out cos strange hill high was one of my favourite shows
He showed us behind the scenes on how some of it was filmed
It wasnt fully animated, it was gloriously filmed and used puppets!! Yipeee
love that Richard Ayoade voices Templeton also can someone explain to me why the principal looks like a certain German political figure
I *loved* Strange Hill High, its one of my absolute FAVORITE shows that was on Netflix. (I also have EVERY episode of the show on my laptop thanks to Internet Archive.)
Would always love to watch Strange Hill High at 7 am on RTE 2 when I was younger, seriously needs more love
I've never seen this show before, but it looks pretty cool! I love puppetry stuff like this, so I'll probably track it down
I used to watch this all the time on netflix and could never find it again, as I had forgot the name. For years I've thought I had simply imagined it. The episode where the guy's frozen head gets carried around while making quips and laughing maniacally will always stick with me. You now have a 700th subscriber!
Thank you so much!! 🎉
got insane nostalgia from hearing about this show again
This is such a nostalgic moment
I mean, it’s garnered attention in the last few months: I picked up on its presence again after the being a masterpiece compilation that went viral like 5 months ago or something was shown to me by the algorithm last week; when i was just real little, between 10-13 or something idk, I accidentally switched it on mid episode while at someone else’s house, and had no idea what it was, but was fascinated by it, but, either because I didn’t know how the remote worked to show the title, or cus my memory was just lackluster, I didn’t know what it was called and could never find it again, cus I didn’t even really think to search the internet for it. So when I saw that pop up randomly last week it was like ‘YAAS IVE FIIINALLY FOUND IT!!!’.
And no lie here: a few days ago when I searched TH-cam for the full episodes (with success), I could only pick randomly which to start with, and I hadn’t seen this vid or anything, but I STILL just so happened to pick the same one you recommended to start with. I kid you not.
1:30 I'm gonna need the name for that Mario Stop motion. The moment i see Boo Mario, a wave of nostalgia hit me
Super Mario Fables - Boo Mario
@@MonobrowMan THANK YOU!!!
I remember it airing around 2014-16 in portugal, on a channel called Biggs, it was awesome
Man I also love this show. I distinctly remember it having more than two seasons but when I go back and check it only had two.
wow I watched this on CBBC when I was 4 or 5
So many memories 😭😭😭
WAIT HOLY CRAP STRANGE HILL HIGH PREDICTED THE TIME EPISODE IN CRASH ZOOM (tom ska)
I remember watching this 10 years ago when I was four and I've never known a name, it's been stuck in my head and now I finally have it, thank you.
I remember watching this but it’s such a blur to me, I think I maybe got freaked out watching it but still watched some of it
had a clip of from this show in my watch later list for a month, and I finally got around to looking at it. I do not regret going down this rabbit hole.
I adored this show when I was younger, I loved how edgy it was for little me and was so unique and funny compared to other shows at the time. Might rewatch some of it because it truly is such a fun show
just got done rewatching all 26 episodes and it was good but gotta feel bad for my boy Templeton, bro's homelife jeez.
I don't remember anything except the voice of the green character, the face of the pink character, and the tooth fairy episode that gave me nightmares.
Ahhh. A video about the tv show that gave me nightmares for 3 years. Im so glad that someone is talking about this show
Im Australian but i used to occasionally watch this show whenever it came on tv and I loved it.
I really enjoyed Strange Hill High despite not being a big horror fan
I can’t remember when I stopped watching TV and also gone terminally online but looking at what shows started airing at what years, my best guess would be 2016 because I never knew “Diddy TV” (first started airing in 2016) existed but I remember watching the title intro of “Little Roy” (also first started airing in 2016)
This unlocked a memory for me. My sister watched this a lot on netflix!
Gotta admit the character designs look cool.
You just unlocked a core memory for me
I loved this show so much, had both series on DVD as a child. I swear NOBODY my age has heard of it (although we must have been like exactly the target age when it came out so ???) which is so sad to me bc it genuinely shaped my sense of humour so much when I was younger. Also the tooth fairy episode was my fave as a child!! It is properly impressive how insane it manages to get for a 20 minute children’s tv episode lol
I had the strange hill high annual for 2016 I think. I had cool specs (cardboard) for Mitchell, Becky glasses and Templeton glasses. Forget the annuals contents but I read it so much I ripped a few pages apparently.
I think i’ve seen this before! Glasses boy and pink haired girl look… almost familiar!
If I have seen it, I repressed the memory because this style would have FREAKED me out as a kid 😂
Ah hell ye, loved this show. Funny story, because of that episode where they went to the island with the giant kid and they were wearing prison uniforms for swimming costumes I always thought king kong was about a bunch of fugitives washing up on skull island, turns out it was a seperate gag.
I used to love this show as a kid!
home sheep home... dude... unlocked a memory i forgot i had. thanks
anyway on the actual topic: brilliant show, miss it so bad
Creepy ain't the word
Freaky ain't the word
Sneaky ain't the word
See what I've observed
'Cause there's no easy way to describe this geeky place -
Even geeky place doesn't tell you what I need to say
This is Strange Hill where a talking frog can eat your face
It's very, very random, you'll get used to these debates
If you stick around, although I wouldn't recommend it
When they used the name "Strange", mate they really meant it
There's some things in life with which you just don't mess
On every vest I got the letters S.O.S
'Cause you never know what might be lurking 'round the corner (Hey!)
And what they might do if it ever found or saw ya
Keep the lights on in the hallways, all day
Things won't always tend to go your way
Watch your back and be prepared
Can't wait for 3:30, see ya there!
Strange hill high is just crazy and so good. I can’t believe i forgot it
Me and my siblings loved this show! The theme song was sooo good!!
I managed to get this in my country as it gets a mix of British and Canadian cartoons. I remember it being a good time.
Man I've loved this show for years! I'm so glad someone is talking about it.
This show was one of my favourites when I was like 11 or 12. I would watch it every day, and constantly repeat episodes. I completely forgot about this show until I saw this video, and thank God the algorithm blessed me with it.
I saw this show as a kid and it creeped me out a lot. Not even any of the weird paranormal elements, just the general animation style. I remember the title sequence in particular was unsettling to me. The only good reason I could even give is that it's a bit of an unorthodox style, plus I was just scared of a lot of stuff as a kid.
I discovered strange hill high in 2016
Forgot about it until 2022
Loved the show ever since, it was such a good show
Me and my sister always thought the principles name "abicrombe" was fucking hilarious for some reason, thanks for bringing that memory back.
I would LOVE to see that video about the celebration of kids television that you mentioned wanting to make! (I saw Lunar Jim in the picture, that was my favourite show!)
I never heard of this cartoon before today
but I think I got a new favorite show
bro i forgot about this show, thank you for making me remember this absolute banger
You're welcome! 👍
