littlest Tramp in which he’s seen
pulling a pink substance from his pocket

from the production I’m out of here man
number 8 1 Vere Tiny Toon Adventures

in the closet
South Park I’m nothing I’m a failure in
the eyes of the Prophet Hey during the

their own stance on the religions cosmic
origins well it’s not about the money
it’s about the message right wait a
minute whoa whoa you don’t actually
believe this crap do you
while the animated sitcom has never been
the kind of show to shy away from touchy
subjects this episode left
Scientologists everywhere utterly
speechless I’m not the reincarnation of
l ron Hubbard and Scientology is just a
big fat global scam featuring
tongue-in-cheek jabs at Tom Cruise’s
sexuality we’re still not exactly sure
why Tom Cruise is in the closet and
portraying Scientology as a scam trapped
in the closet saw one airing before
being banned from ever being viewed on
the small screen again you can’t make
fun of Scientology kid we’re gonna sue
your ass and your balls it also resulted

Club for scrambling his brains number 6
when you wish upon a Weinstein family
guy wish in a few minutes you’ll become
a smart successful Jewish man I could
make a foreskin joke right now but this
is a solemn occasion this Fox Network
favorite has come under fire more than
once for it’s less than politically
correct humor such as when Kris dated a
girl with Down syndrome in season 8
you must impress that ultra luminal
consumer poly grooming down in this
episode from the third season is no
exception
after foolishly squandering his family’s
rainy day fund I bought us volcano
insurance volcano insurance that’s
ridiculous
resident buffoon Peter Griffin decides
the only way to regain his financial
stability is to hire a Jew wait a second

Jewish man named max Weinstein shows up
and eventually leads to Peter’s attempt
to convert Chris to Judaism he thinks of
course as Jewish you’ll become smart
Peter you can’t convert someone because
I think it’ll help that great
due to its questionable anti-semitic
content the episode was shelved from
broadcast for several years listen
thanks for letting me use the phone
thanks for Spaceballs several Fox
divisions were also sued for the lyrics
of the song I need a Jew that parodied
when you wish upon a star
number five blame it on Lisa The
Simpsons sweet
sharing your allowance with a Brazilian

Priscilla little Hitler’s I saw it in a
movie in this episode of the acclaimed
TV sitcom the Simpson family travels to
Brazil to find a missing orphan there’s
got to be a million kids here we’ll
never find Ronaldo oh you know him no no
I was just distracting you all my
children robbed you however it results
in some problematic South American
stereotypes which include Homer getting
kidnapped for ransom my American friend
I’m afraid that this is a kidnapping
Bart being devoured by a rainforest
anaconda and depictions of colorful
rat-infested flunks mom these are slums
the government just painted in bright
colors to the tourists wouldn’t be
offended the Brazilian government was
less than pleased citing concerns over
the possibility of the loss of tourism
revenue so the creator’s issued an
official apology to the city of Rio de
Janeiro time for Brazil’s favorite kids
show
tella boobies number four pause the
boondocks pause pause pause what you see
it’s um gate so you gotta say no homo or
else you’ll a homo
while this Cartoon Network adaptation of
the popular comic strip has never been
afraid of controversy and social
commentary this episode of the boondocks
took things to a whole other level
okay me too mango it is when Huey and
Riley’s grandfather auditions to star in
a new play by acclaimed playwright and
spoof of real-life actor Tyler Perry
Winston Jerome he quickly discovers that
his desire for fame comes at a price
Jesus says the scene would have more
impact if you grab the more Dukes and
kissed her deep on the lips kiss
featuring homophobic insinuations about
Tyler Perry’s sexuality this episode’s
criticism of the popular actor and
filmmaker was anything but subtle since
that day I searched the world for the
sexiest black men alive
and I found them my shirtless men and
Jesus was pleased number three all this
and rabbits to Merrie Melodies while the
40’s were part of the Golden Age of
cartoons the decade was also a time of
extreme racism and lack of civil rights
for minorities as evidenced in several
cartoons from the era this includes many
of Merrie Melodies war themed cartoons
and more profoundly in all this and
rabbits do this one real cartoon short
has Bugs Bunny being hunted by one of
his would-be adversaries however this
gun-toting woodsman is no Elmer Fudd
portrayed as a big lipped dim-witted and
craps crazy buffoon the offensive
caricature wasn’t uncommon but was still
disrespectful and remains insulting
today
the shocking depiction of
african-americans landed the short on
the infamous censored 11 list and
remains a heartbreaking reminder of
America’s racist history number two
electric soldier porygon Pokemon this
successful children’s program had kids
glued to their TV screens
thanks to Ash Ketchum and his many
Pokemon adventures but this wasn’t
necessarily a good thing when electric
soldier porygon aired the strobe-light
visuals during the scene in which
Pikachu delivers his lightning bolt
attack caused over 600 children in Japan
to experience seizures so severe most
had to be hospitalized
the controversy caused Pokemon to take a
four month hiatus and Japanese
television broadcasters to enforce
strict guidelines for their programs to
ensure a similar event would never be
repeated before we reveal our number one
spot here are some honorable mentions
while you’re in Dexter’s Laboratory

packer what did you call me number one
two hundred South Park in this episode
from South Park’s fourteenth season the
residents of the town are faced with the
possibility of terrorist attacks for
allowing the Prophet Muhammad to appear
in person that’s tricky so they devised
a plan to keep the image of the holy
figure under wraps
all right the limos here Muhammad thanks
again for doing this a radical Muslim
organization soon warned or threatened
depending on who you ask the series
creators about the subplot which caused
Comedy Central to edit mentions of the
Prophet in the follow-up episode
okay so I’m see that is that Sandy Claws
with themes of free speech religious
tolerance and censorship I learned
something today
the controversial 200 delivered with
just the right amount of humor and
bizarre understanding only the crazy
world of South Park can get away with if
we were gonna have someone in a bear
costume why would we actually have it be
you idiot
