[Music]
I am your boy dark alternate timelines
are a classic trope of superhero comics
that Danny Phantom executed perfectly in
the ultimate enemy actually and you
eventually
in fact some might say it did it too
well since the TV movie had some
incredibly dark moments that pushed the
envelope of kids cartoons in the episode
the ultimate enemy is revealed to be a
dark future version of Danny one who
walked down the path of evil after his
parents died in a horrific explosion and
his ghost half killed his human half we
know the show is about ghosts but that’s
some dark stuff right there where the
kind of parents are you anyway the
world’s leading ghost experts and you
can’t figure out that your own son was a
half ghost number nine web world wars
reboot the attack sometimes the internet
can feel like a black hole that destroys
everything it comes into contact with
for the people of mainframe this was
literally the case asking in this dark
episode of reboot world web wars served
as the season 2 finale of the hit show

hangers of all time nothing can stand in

of his fate unanswered until the third
[Music]
number eight phineas and ferb get busted
Phineas and Ferb imagination is a
wonderful thing to have though not
everyone would agree as seen in Disney’s
hit cartoon Phineas and Ferb in this
episode
Candace finally catches the titular pair
performing their usual dangerous antics
leading them to get sent to reform
school I’m sorry but this is really for
your own good the story takes a dark
turn when the pair have their
imaginations forcibly removed from their
brains through intense brainwashing
concept that gets even darker
considering it serves as a disturbing
metaphor for growing up though the whole
thing turned out to be a dream that
didn’t save the episode from being
incredibly dark never actually busted
Phineas and Ferb I am so happy number
seven way of the dee dee Dexter’s
Laboratory being cooped up in a lab all
day is no way to go through life despite
what Dexter might think luckily this boy
genius had a sister DeeDee to free him
from the clutches of a stressful work
resulting in his spiritual awakening as
he finds inner peace however that peace
goes as quickly as it came after Dexter
destroys his own lab before promptly
returning to his life of scientific
solitude
resulting in one of the most downbeat
endings of any episode in the series
[Music]
number six Twisted Sister The Powerpuff
Girls this episode of the Cartoon
Network original series is as memorable
as it is heart-wrenching and tragic when
Blossom Bubbles and Buttercup wants a
new sister to help them fight crime they
haphazardly recreate the professor’s
experiment and make bunny comes out a
bit off a bunny messes up crime fighting
in his sent away by the girls she
eventually returns to beat up every
criminal in Townsville before exploding
from her body’s instability saving the
day for the first and final time
admitted just the description of this
episode was enough to bring a tragic
[Music]
that’s all this left up obsession can
drive a person insane and in Teen Titans
Robin was that person in this episode of
the hit series Robin Ponder’s over
Slade’s defeat and wonders if he is
truly gone the question that begins to
haunt him as he starts to see the
villain everywhere he goes Robin is
driven mad by the hunt for Slade turns
out to be nothing more than visions
caused by a hallucinogenic chemical the
whole fair serves as a metaphor for
paranoia and PTSD which is what made the
episode one of the darkest in a series
but sometimes I feel like I’m the only
one still looking for him the only one
who can stop him and before holly-jolly
secrets Adventure Time know this case
the ice king is easily one of the most
interesting characters in Adventure Time
as well as one of the most tragic as
seen in this two-part episode after
discovering the ice King’s hidden
videotapes
Finn and Jake learned the dark story
behind the mad ice wizard that he was
once simon petrikov an antiquarian who
discovered the ice crown I am recording
this tape so that people will know my
story as the crown corrupted his mind
Simon was driven mad causing him to
drive away the love of his life
leaving him a shadow of his former self
this tragic origin story made
holly-jolly secrets one of the series
darkest episodes even more so than
evergreen number three the puppet master
Avatar The Last Airbender why’d I’m
about to show you I discovered in that
wretched Fire Nation prison one of the
most dangerous forms of bending in the
world of Avatar The Last Airbender is
blood bending the act of bending the
water within a person’s blood to control
their movements it was first introduced
in the puppet master which told the
story of Hama a former prisoner of the
Fire Nation who escaped by developing
this dark technique which she continued
to use to harm innocent
billions they threw me in prison to rot
along with my brothers and sisters they
deserve the same desperate to stop
Hammond and save her friends Katara’s
forced to use by bending herself an axe
that leaves her in tears with such a
dark premise a tragic villain and a
horrifying technique the puppet master
was perhaps the darkest and creepiest
episode of avatar the last airbender
congratulations Katara
your blood Bend number to failsafe young
justice fail-safe is easily one of the
most relentless and horrific episodes of
a kids cartoon in recent memory the
episode kicks off with the death of the
entire Justice League following an alien
attack to make matters worse the team is
forced to take the leads place and
defend the earth themselves the aliens
cannot destroy is help but after Artemis
dies the rest of the team is picked off
one by one before suddenly waking up and
finding that the whole scenario was
simulation made real by Miss Martian’s
powerful psychic mind leaving everyone
devastated by these real emotions for a
fake experience we know young justice
was supposed to be mature but not that
mature what you experienced was a
training exercise before we get to our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mentions that’s right
I’m the new baby I’m the new baby and
you the old baby see and you better give
something straight right off the bat
calm down who is after you the new
neighbors they were saying stuff about
how perfect and chubby I was number one
dark harvest invaders in say you’re full
of organs aren’t you
this episode is without a doubt the most
messed up thing ever to be aired on
Nickelodeon when Zim fears that his
alien biology will reveal his origins he
attempts to make his body appear more
human and the episode quickly devolves
into a full-blown horror movie as Zim
harvests organs around the school
replacing them with everyday objects
until his hunt finally ends when he
steals dibs lungs seriously how did this
one make it past the bigwigs at Nick I
don’t know what you’re talking about an
alien harvesting human organs doesn’t
exactly make for great children’s
television but it does make dark harvest
