afraid yeah I looked into that
apparently it’s easy good this means

representation of unemployment sparked
heavy political debate and pulled into
question the real message it was sending
to the youths and underprivileged you’re
rehired
alright now my life has purpose again
number nine dial M for monkey barbecuer
Dexter’s Laboratory
in this early episode of the Cartoon
Network series monkey is celebrating his
birthday with all of his justice friends
at a barbecue they hosted for him after
being rudely interrupted by the titular
evil alien and his partners silver
Spooner monkey is forced not only to
save his birthday barbecue but the whole
universe yeah we got your feast right
here
why this episode get banned in countries
like the US Canada and the UK you ask it
raised criticism regarding its
stereotypical depiction of homosexuals
via the silver Spooner character Hey
Judy Garland and also included the
depiction of an inebriated character via
the show’s parody of The Incredible Hulk
known as crunk and it’s up to you to
drive crunk home number 8 Buffalo gals
cow and chicken Perdue cows don’t you
come out today come out tonight come out
tonight hair with a segment entitled cow
and chicken reclining this first part of
episode 7 from season 2 of the Cartoon
Network series following the titular
animals garnered such debate and
criticism that it was only ever
broadcast on TV once here’s my card
by any time while the show’s humor has
always been unconventional the sexually
suggestive content featured on Buffalo
gals along with the heavily implied
stereotyping of lesbians led the network
to ban the segment and have the episode
air with a replacement segment in the
future instead Buffalo gals a motorcycle
riding gang that randomly person to
people’s homes and
number seven last horizons tailspin well
I said I’d find pendel awful is the last
thing I did and this looks like the last
thing I’m gonna do this Disney cartoon
series came under some heat with the
temporary ban of this particular episode
welcome strange way I trust you come in
peace in last Horizons Balu is welcomed
into the legendary city of Panda law
with open arms only to realize that this
reception was all a ruse for emperor Wan
lo to overtake Cape Suzette the
fictitious Asian nations attack is
dangerously reminiscent of Japan’s Pearl
Harbor attack against the u.s. naval
base in 1941 aside from the world war
two reference the episode also contained
various offensive Asian stereotypes
which led to the ban have thought we
were friends
we have no friends we live to conquer
and where we conquer we live
number six homers phobia The Simpsons hi
I’m John can I help you with anything
although the animated sitcom had already
touched on gay and lesbian themes in
previous episodes this specific episode
was the first to fully focus on them and
thus was both the most praised and
criticized for it didn’t chance seemed a
little festive till good Nagri more
happy as a clam he prefers a company of
men who doesn’t when Homer befriends a
shop clerk named John and later figures
out he’s gay
the Simpson patriarch begins to adopt
homophobic behavior towards him and
develops fears that John sexuality will
influence his son where’d you get that
shirt um came out of the closet uh-huh
despite a lot of viewers being
unimpressed with homers character and
the presentation of homosexuals in
general
the episode ironically received positive
critical response for its
anti-homophobia message we’re yeah and
that’s another thing I resent you people
using that word that’s our word for
making fun of you we need it
number five Brer Rabbit song of the
south why you said there was a tale
about morality not coming back to his
brown patch Oh bless my soul child
should we did this dated film is yet
another swept under the rug reminder of
Disney’s very different take on
kid-friendly animation the live-action
slash animated musical features an
implied ex-slave referred to as Uncle
Remus who exhibits highly offensive
racist stereotypes that right okay well
you see Miss Sally I had I see the
n-double-a-cp described the character as
presenting a quote idyllic master-slave
relationship in their public statement
or despite being post-civil war in other
words post-slavery Remus and his
companions were often depicted as
subservient to the family that once
owned them I don’t like to say this
Uncle Remus but from now on I want you
to stay away from Johnny you understand
aside from the controversy about the
live-action sections Song of the South
also featured animated segments around
Brer Rabbit that were subsequently aired
on TV I’m going no party cuz I ain’t
gonna be here I’m gonna leave it all
please you mean you’re leaving yo briar
patch back ah
if these ignited debate because of
suggestions that the figure signifies
enslaved Africans and depicts them as
tricksters which isn’t always a positive
thing what you doing up there Oh
keeping the crows out the confit eyes
making a dollar a minute dad dollar
minute
Tina is
would you like to go a little bit back
yeah yeah you know you’d make a mud fire
scarecrow brother as such the entire
film has yet to have been released for
personal viewing but its signature song
zippity-doo-dah is still widely
recognized today but it didn’t unzip for
the a wonderful feeling wonderful day
yes sir number four rude removal
Dexter’s Laboratory I hope you like it
Oh what do you think Dexter I think it
tastes like little kids swearing is
never a good look for a children’s
cartoon series when Dexter comes up with
the ingenious idea to separate the
rudeness within him and his sister
they’re clones wreak havoc in their home
lives and speak in a way we’ve never
witnessed the characters speaking before
let up Ali this band episode ran into
trouble with its excessive use of
profanity and despite being censored
with beeps the bad words being said were
still clearly decipherable that was very
rude and we are in want of an apology
yeah yeah Balaji yes lunchtime
lunchtime I’m starving the characters
also depicted various cultural
stereotypes as the nice Dexter and Dee
Dee spoke with English accents while the
rude clones spoke with a New York City
one look lady that’s cute but let me
tell you something I make my own rules
as a result rude removal never actually
aired on TV and was only viewable online
over a decade after its production via
Adult Swim’s YouTube channel
jolly old fag yeah we’re gonna go copy
your lab number three Return of the King
the boondocks oh ha ha
I was the folks hey that got a dream she
was awesome same oh hey rollin a mime
very much
learn that streets named after him
weren’t very safest this satirical
comedy took a very interesting stance on
the famed activist and humanitarian dr.
Martin Luther King and although the
episode addressed many of the country’s
socio-political issues there were many
viewers who couldn’t get past how it was
all presented being amazed the world
when on November 2nd seven days after
awaking from a 30-year coma he showed up
to vote in the 2000 presidential
election he was turned away due to
voting irregularities in Return of the
King
dr. King awakens from a 32-year coma
after surviving an assassination attempt
and discovers the outcome of his years
of civil rights activism well you know
puffy like you I can’t stop I won’t stop
I don’t even know how to stop when he
takes the stage to deliver a speech he
loses his temper and shouts the N word
more than once he does it what I think
he’s it the episode was not well
received by civil rights activist
Reverend Al Sharpton who claimed it
desecrated black historic figures and I
know some of you don’t want to hear me
say that word it’s the ugliest word in
the English language but that’s what I
see now number 2 Bugs Bunny nips the
nips Merrie Melodies what Jack
yet another cartoon that was
unfortunately a victim of its time
hundred Gemma this calls for strategy
while we’ve all at one point enjoyed
Bugs Bunny’s regular stick it comes off
almost cringe-worthy in this shorts
racist depiction of the Japanese law
regrettable accuse about all not going
on Jarrell for instance one of the
soldiers bugs comes into contact with is
drawn as a height challenged man with
exaggerated Asian features and is shown
wielding a machete while muttering
Japanese gibberish the bunny also uses
racial slurs throughout hey George bow
legs
yeah one for you monkey face and dope
chopped is plenty for all
hey are slain eyes everybody gets one
back in the day this world war two
propaganda animated cartoon served to
portray American enemy soldiers as
lesser and inferior the only thing it
serves as today is an embarrassing
reminder of the past here’s some scrap
iron for Japan Moto e
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions I’m
making chicken do you want breast or
thigh don’t be scared mummy get rid of
it okay

garden but you know what it’s one more
person to share the world with another
little voice in the backseat of the car
one walk Griffin to love and to love us
in return
we had the abortion number one heroes
Beavis and Butthead whoa
gunner cool America has tolerated a lot
from these nonchalant teenage misfits
but this episode went a bit too far hey

a riveting episode of cops they
illegally obtain guns from the owner of
a skeet shooting establishment and
haphazardly fire them outdoors this is
cool
uh push pull one of but headshots hits a
commercial airliner and sends it
hurtling down to its doom
the band episode was not only criticized
for its blatant disregard of firearm
safety but also for the inhumane mocking
of the trapped passengers of the
demolished aircraft oh what crap in here

that happen yeah do you agree with our
