I think people forget that The Flintstones was directed at adults originally, and children happened to enjoy it

Fun fact: 'Maus' is still taught in schools. We recently read it in ELA. It actually wasn't too bad.

What gets me is how vividly I remember the episode Procrastination, and I feel like if it were banned it would be for the house fire scene, or the creepy part with the clock. Still love the episode though, glad to see it back up

Fun fact about the Flintstones Winston commercial. A lot of animation cels are rather expensive. This is typically due to the popularity of the show/movie they were from, and because each one is a one of a kind painting. Animation cels are also quite rare, as they were made of materials that degraded easily and sometimes were even just burned after they weren't needed anymore. Among these rare and more expensive cels are the ones from the Flintstones Winston commercial. I've seen some of these cels selling for thousands of dollars due to the circumstances. Animation cels in general are just amazing. They're pieces of animation history and if one of your favorite shows or movies was made using them, I'd suggest potentially getting one. I've personally recreated cels from Evangelion (my favorite anime), of course using more modern materials, and they're some of my favorite things to look at.

So as a 13 year old, who has the Spongebob panty raid on probably at least 3 tapes, I wasn't old enough to understand the implications, and I think it's safe to say most kids don't understand these "suggestive" things, instead it's just parents overreacting... I mean old Mickey cartoons were FILLED with WWII propaganda, ffs. Although, my favorite banned scene will always be the "carpet munchers" in Cow and Chicken. 🤣

I said this before, but The Flinstones weren't initially for kids, they aired during primetime tv. They were marketed as an adult show akin to the likes of how The Simpsons and Family Guy are now. The thing is, the 50s were an incredibly sanitized time period. They werent even allowed to show a toilet on screen, let alone cartoon characters smoking, drinking, or even laying in the same bed together

Someone has probably said this already but the Flintstones wasn’t meant for children originally. Animation wasn’t in general. Hannah Barbara were pioneers of animation in television which is where the “animation for kids” stereotype comes from. The Flintstones family advertising cigarettes was seen as normal to viewers then and was meant for adults. At that time it was easier for anyone to buy cigarettes too. My parents recall their parents sending them to the drug store to buy cigarettes out of vending machines. Anyways make sure to look into that kind of history before making bold or untrue claims.

On the note of referring to Flintstones as a kid' show Cartoons in the 1950s hadn't quite transitioned over to being "just for kids". In fact, many animations still had the mindset of Warner Brothers and Fleischer Studios, which is that cartoons were made for Adults in movie theaters. So Flintstones was not originally planned as a kid's cartoon, but rather an adult cartoon that kids can still watch. This is why the show is basically just an animated version of "The Honeymooners," in order to attract that adult audience. It even had a laugh track to solidify it just being an animated version of a typical sitcom. Source: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adCSgdmCyMnPaaM.html So the Winston's cigarette commercial makes more sense once you realize it was a show meant for adults first, kids second. The idea of Flintstones being only for kids really only developed as the show fell out of public consciousness, and the branding was soon converted to cereal and kid's vitamins. The nail in the coffin was the 90s, where Hanna-Barbera's cartoons fell under the umbrella of Cartoon Network, officially putting it syndication for a children's network.

It's crazy, I always felt like Procrastination was oddly cut or censored. It always felt like something was missing, especially when Spongebob goes from completely discouraged to "I CAN FEEL THOSE JUICES PUMPING NOW!!! :D". You BET I was floored when the deleted scenes were not cut out of my Spongebob season 2 DVD I bought when I was a teenager! I still wish the gasoline scene that I also didn't know existed until I saw it on KZfaq from that one episode wasn't cut, that scene is GOLD.

What? I definitely remember the bananagic wand episode tho. Star went all over the place looking for it while Marco was at a karate tournament….it was definitely a Star heavy episode 😂

It always pisses me off when I see people claim early Flintstones ads were targeting children. They were not advertising to children. Early seasons of The Flintstones were aimed at adults. They aired in prime time and was not advertised to kids. It wasn't a children's cartoon until later seasons when, after learning how many kids watched, the show toned down more adult aspects (including removing cigarette and alcohol sponsorship). It wasn't until reruns and spinoffs that Flintstones went from "Adult Cartoon" to "Family Cartoon" to "Children's Cartoon"

2:59 OMG I REMEMBER SEEING THAT ON TV! IT CRACKED ME UP AS A KID

Crazy that the Garbage Pail Kids show was banned, but a live action movie was made and released

Fun fact: there are 3 episodes of the kirby anime that were banned. The first was banned due to kirby using a gun, the second one was banned due to the monster having a “disturbing design” and the last one is kinda weird that it was banned. It was banned for it’s “negative portrayal of dentists” even though the whole point of the episode is teaching kids that there’s nothing to be scared about going to a dentist.

I think I remember watching the banana pudding episode of Star vs the Forces of Evil. It was on On Demand where I was, and if I remember correctly, the 2 main characters were running around town all day trying to get the banana pudding wand. I don't remember if they ever actually get it, but yeah.

Desperately needed something to watch while eating and studying for finals.. thank you :3

2:58 that is definitely not a fatal car crash lol

The thing about the Flintstones Winston commercial is that when the Flintstones was originally aired, it wasn't children's cartoon - it was more of a sit-com, like the Honeymooners. Think about the themes of the show - it was all about power dynamics between husbands and wives, bosses and employees, and adult friends and neighbors. The Flintstones was a prime time television show in the time before streaming platforms, cable TV or even children's networks; there were only a few channels on TV and children's programming was on in the after-school block and on weekends, not during prime time.

3:55 They're actually on Nicktoons too, which caught me off guard because I saw it after being told it was cut-

I actually watched the See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey episode because it was on the original dvd as a kid So hearing about how it was banned honestly shocked me at first, but after thinking, yeah it makes complete sense why it was banned The song is good though

I actually watched ‘moms I’d like to forget’ without knowing back in October or November this year! Had no idea it was banned, as I watched it on TV and no streaming service (in the UK)

I like your videos, but I have to admit that I always am confused when a video of yours shows up because I have no idea what is the start of an iceberg and what is a continuation

Ralph Bakshi: "Saying that this character accidentally snorting the crumpled ash remains of a flower is reminiscent of cocaine use is a bit of a reach, but I guess a point can be made." John K: "Nah fuck that shit. Put it back in." What more do we expect from the guy who would go on to create Ren & Stimpy?

I couldn’t stop laughing reading why hey Arnold was banned. “The grandpas head is a d*ck” hahaha haha

“Heroes” was also one of the only original B&B episodes to not have a home physical/digital release of any kind, even the other censored episodes had at least one. IIRC it still aired in some international markets so thankfully we’ve got cleaner rips of it now

They used to think smoking actually had health benefits for me i just didnt care i saw my mom doing it and i just started actually with vaping at 14 and now 21 and i have asthma

Very nice iceberg topic, cant wait to see more in part 2 🔥🔥

And then there’s South Park which has almost everything that all these shows were banned for 😂😂😂

BRO I HAD LEAP FROGS ON DVD , now that im grown this episode was crazyyy

The thing about the Flintstones is that it wasn't a show for children. Have you actually seen it? There are so many innuendos and sex jokes that would make Family Guy seem like a Disney cartoon.

Ngl, your videos are so cool man..i fall asleep to it in the background! Keep up with the content!❤

I remember watching that Rocko’s Modern Life episode! Wow, crazy how it all comes back after not thinking about something for years! 😂

The only part I remember being cut from Procrastination was the clip of the the dragster crashing

This channel needs more attention

I’ve been hungry for another vid you have satisfied my craving

Funny thing is, with the Procrastination episode of spongebob, I saw it in the space of time when the shoulder rub and car crash were edited out, but the nose exercises weren’t.

I will always remember having a GBA copy of the episode Procrastination and it had everything on it regardless of the time period, looking back it was really cool having some kind of media access to deleted scenes.

I actually have the book "Maus" I just borrowed it from my sibling. It's a great book if you haven't read it. One of my teachers had the book and another one mentioned during class while we were learning about the Holocaust. Extra: If you are interested in what went on during the Holocaust, it's a great book. If you like graphic novels its great. If you're interested in the Holocaust and history in general it's great!

I used to watch Beavis and Butt-head when they used to be part of Liquid Television. There was a lot of controversy about the show when it was first released, so they had to tone it down a lot. I can see why they wouldn't want to show early episodes. The two would sniff paint and abuse animals. Just off the top of my head, I can remember them killing frogs when it was still a segment on Liquid Television, I remember Butt-head hitting Beavis across the head with a baseball bat. In the episode, Washing the Dog, they put a dog in a washing machine. There were more than a few people that wanted the show taken off the air.

I was born in 82 and Garbage Pail Kids was a legit obsession. I think we loved them so much cause of how much parents couldn't stand them! They were gross, offensive and over all rude and we loved them for it!

12:53 Super Erie when you consider that that similar kind of thing is going on today, just with different....things.

i love listening to your videos while doing homework!!!

There is one moment in another pokemon episode where a group of townsfolk hold guns up to ash thinking he was team rocket.

I REMEMBER WATCHING SOME OF THESE

what about that Proud Family episode where Penny's parents give her a credit card?

I love your channel so much

Banger as per usual

That procrastination episode never got censored in México, it was aired very often tho

Hey, how ya doin? Your channel still looks really good. I love animation.

After seeing the banana wand from Star vs. The Forces of Evil...I can see why there were some questions.

19:09 his name is james 😭

Flintstones was Basically the Simpsons of its time. It was aimed at adults but got popular with kids, and eventually they just leaned into it and made it a full on kids show by introducing Dino and then later Pebbles and Bam Bam.

Let's goooo New Theorist vid and its part 2 of The Oddest BANNED Cartoons & Animations iceberg Explained Nice!✊️✨️❤️

It’s so weird that the banned Rocko episode was the first one I ever saw, and it was on a plane

I swear I saw the episode of Batman The Brave And The Bold. Such a catchy song!

Playing this while playing my game, another vid for the saves ❤

I remember reading MAUS I: [My Father Bleeds History] in middleschool, great book tbh one of the only good parts of middleschool. all the books that we read were amazing, The hunger Games series, Fahrenheit 451, I remember also reading Divergent and also the 5th Wave. so all books about identifying and dealing with authoritarian regimes. I also remember this one really racist girl (she was Latina but also just a huge bitch) telling me that she wished my grandparents hadn't survived the holocaust. I then had to explain to her that I'm not Jewish at all. I'm entirely Mexican

14:52 I have NO problem believing any corporate executive would have an issue with releasing this in 1987...At the time, snorting cocaine was kind of the norm for those with that particular career position.

I remember seeing that roco's modern life episode when I was in Bangladesh, I was a child in Bangladesh and I used to love watching roco's modern life, great show.

It’s odd, because the I remember seeing the Procrastination Episode after 2005, I remember it so vividly especially because of the House Burning Scene

For procrastination the drag race crash wasn't even fatal the roll cage was unhurt and the driver was wearing a helmet and the car didn't even ignite

guys somebody buy me a drink to spit out in sheer shock because I HAD NO IDEA PROCRASTINATION HAD ALL THESE CENSORED SCENES?? I thought I knew everything about earlier SpongeBob seeing these scenes feels fake somehow

Actually, I've seen this episode when it first came out. that banana wand episode.

Back then cigarettes were seen as not just healthy, but also health benefitial. So Flinstones smoking was nothing outrageous.

The Bananagic Wand reminds me of the poster for the cartoon Big Mouth.

O my god yes dude I listen to your vids while I’m gaming so entertaining ❤

some of these are wild

I grew up with Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy (the real one, not the Spike TV knockoff). Hell, I saw the episodes of Rocko on tv before they were banned.

That episode of star never even aired in the UK, I’d always wondered why

I saw that Rockos modern life episode when it aired

Huh? I totally remember watching all of those scenes in procrastination, and I watched back in 2010 or so, on Nickelodeon. They were cut?

Garbage Pail Kids was in the 80s, i remember because it was a parody of Cabbage Patch Kids.

When it comes to the Flintstones...it was never considered a kid's cartoon.

I was born in 95 and remembered garbage pail kids. Kyle-Tile. Dude was made of floor tiles.

OKAY, So am I the only one realizing he's called James Jessie at least two-three times now?? xD

19:25 It would have been gold if 4kids used that hammer shoe spring thing they gave helmeppo in One Piece instead of not airing the ep

Beavis and Butthead doesn’t have a ton of episodes on streaming because during the original run, it drew so much controversy that MTV went in and censored even the master tapes of the episodes, so they are permanently edited/censored.

Looks good!

12:09 my school studied that one years ago

iirc, the scenes in procrastination got cut because of time constraints in future airings. Leave it to the episode about Procrastination to go on for too long, right?

dawg I'm not gonna get over the fact that you called James Jesse fr

Hell yeah pt2

I remember one thing... About adventure time, the puke scene... Here in Portugal, I do not remember if it was cut or if it was on Brasil.. but well, it was cut.

I’m pretty sure you got Jessie and James names switched multiple times here

Credit Lumpy Touch for his Flintstones art in the thumbnail.

Actually the banana wand episode for Star vs the forces of evil is on Disney plus now I had no idea that episode was banned from tv it’s still a good episode though especially since half of the episode is Marco trying to get his red belt.

I thought See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey got banned because of strobe lights and the contrasting themes between communism and capitalism

I remember watching Procrastination later and wondering where a bunch of the shows went

80’s kid here. But I missed out on Maus. Please cover it. Thanks!

Been here since part one

Donald Wildmon is cute, you got a picture of Tim Wildom there 😅

The thing with the Flintstones Cigarette commercials is that from the inception of animation up until... I'd say the 70s, cartoons weren't really for kids, at least not exclusively. They were kind of true 'general audience' entertainment. It's still really surreal to see though. I also had no idea that the same guy who made Maus also made the fucking _Garbage Pail Kids_ , talk about a 180 in artistic tone.

So I grew up on SpongeBob and if they started making the edits to that episode in 2005 then I definitely missed those scenes, I was too young. I don’t remember the sandy scene or the car crash but I do remember the nose part, so maybe they didn’t edit that until later but I unfortunately grew up with the edited episode. I don’t think it’s fair they edited the episode at all because I honestly never picked up on any of the adult jokes or insulations in other SpongeBob episodes, maybe I was just naive idk

3:18 even know it's not supposed too [*snooting laughter*]

I love Maus it’s one of my favorite books

PLEASE DO A STAR VS THE FORCES OF EVIL ICEBURG!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that show was my entire childhood and believe it or not there is some… interesting things surrounding the show

The only episode of any of these I saw as a kid is the Rocko's Modern Life one.

BET? Why not WET?

Fun fact: Meowth mustache is not related to the Hitler mustache is actually the toothbrush mustache before the Nazis
