number 10 garfield hallucination Theory
Garfield what are we doing this one’s a
classic and one of the few entries on
our list with a leg to stand on you poor
little kitty cat
the story says that Garfield is actually
a stray cat who’s suffering from
hallucinations due to extreme starvation
hey this poor kitty is starving okay as
such Jon and Odie are figments of his
imagination as is all the food is
character is known to eat the supposed
evidence of this theory is a short one
week comic strip that Garfield
cartoonist Jim Davis created at
Halloween 1989 here our titular cat
awakens in his abandoned house since
it’s the future
Odie and Jon have long since passed away
and Garfield is left starving and alone
the strip tackles the ideas of taking
life for granted and denial I’m gonna
stop pretending of something I’m not I’m
just gonna be me Garfield the house cat
number nine he’s just a dog Courage the
Cowardly Dog plenty to think that a
cartoon starting a little pink dog could
still give me nightmares to this very
day but can you blame me similar to the
Garfield hallucination theory the
creepypasta revolving around this
animated horror comedy alleges that
Courage the Cowardly Dog takes a very
different approach to an animal’s view
of the world normally each episode of
the series involves courage protecting
his mouth
from some kind of outside force this guy
is unpredictable confused and very
dangerous you see new this theory states
that courage and his masters elderly
couple Muriel and Eustace don’t actually
live in the middle of nowhere and that
any villains they encounter are actually
just human visitors unfamiliar to a dog
who doesn’t get to see the outside world
much this would be because his masters
are older and cannot take him out for
far or frequent walks where am i who are
you Who am I
another theory takes things even further
stating that the family is actually in
hell with courage protecting Muriel who
represents humanity from Eustace who
represents Satan Muriel Eustace slave
woman your job is cleaning cooking
shopping laundry and anything else I can
think of that would certainly explain
all the supernatural and paranormal
monsters they run into face it Sonny
you’re a failure MA yay farmer number
eight
scooby-doo post Depression Theory the
scooby-doo franchise it’s worth a try
come on our next entry is a shockingly
realistic one based around the original
scooby-doo where are you series from the
1960s the theory posits that the cartoon
is actually set during a severe economic
depression poor mr. Magnus first he’s on
the verge of going out of business now
this most pirate shows up in order to
cope even well-known and otherwise
well-off people like professors business
owners and movie stars resorted to
stealing and performing crimes under the
cover of monster disguises so they
wouldn’t get caught
aha show that said he wanted to scare us
off so he could pick up the land cheap
and I’d have done it too if you kids
having to come along this theory is
quite possible is
when you consider how rarely the mystery
machine gang actually helps someone stay
in business well at least we know he’s
inside number seven the cul-de-sac is
purgatory Edie Edie and Eddie humans are
naturally attracted to the blunders
bruises and over-the-top cartoon antics
of others sympathetic or otherwise
it’s time to revisit the cul-de-sac
while the animated series follows a trio
of kids who try to scam their way to the
top of the dead end on which they live
the theory on what it’s really about
takes a different path
this white base here the Peach Creek
cul-de-sac is actually a form of
purgatory and Edie Edie and Edie’s world
meaning that each of the children has
died at distinctive points in time try
this one Eddy below for example it’s
believed Eddy came during the Great
Depression and met his end trying to
swindle the other children and thus
brought that trait into the afterlife oh
the soreness of the age be brave Eddy
along with Sarah Edie
then perished in a car wreck over a
decade later what’s this
spin ahead and learn oh it’s a face
cruncher cool while Edie 2ds died in an
experiment gone wrong in the mid 80s
my notes so if you believe in this
theory the bottom line would seem to be
don’t come to this neighborhood bitch oh
yeah number 6 dead air and big
imagination candle Cove does anyone
remember this kid show it was called
candle Cove and I must have been 6 or 7
I never found reference to it anywhere
so I think it was on a local station
around 1971 or 1972 unique to this list
this is the only entry not actually
based on a real show we couldn’t leave
out candle Cove though this creepypasta
tells the story of a supposed children’s
television show from the early 70s many
local children tuned into the show
consistently being entertained by
characters like Janice and pirate Percy
week after week but also suffering from
similar nightmares the puppets were
screaming yes all of them screaming and
screaming and the little girl was crying
you have this nightmare a lot all the
time when I was five however at the end
of the tale it’s revealed that candle
Cove never actually existed and that the
fans of the show were merely watching
white noise and static on the TV
everything they thought they were
watching including the characters
setting etc were all imagined I used to
think that it was so strange that she
said I’m going to watch cattle Cove now
mom and then you would tune the TV to
static and just watch dead air for 30
minutes the story was quickly spread
around the internet starting in 2009 and
has become one of the most widely known
creepypastas even the wiki page is fake
and if that’s not enough the writer of
candle Cove Chris Straub literally says
himself that the story is fake and that
his inspiration came from an article on
the onion number five Hey Arnold is
nonfiction Hey Arnold
in a normal episode of this animated TV
series we follow a young boy named
Arnold who lives with his grandparents
in the make-believe city of Hill would
you in that hand you’re perfect just
like that yeah however the theory that
goes along with it
speculates that the series is not
fiction it’s said in New York and
Arnold’s grandparents are actually his
parents a top tax you’ll need your
strength for the cattle drive yeah right
grandma that’s calamity grandma
due to their age and mental instability
they told Arnold he was an orphan and he
suffered several physical and
psychological problems some of which
caused the unique deformation of his
head and others of which make him
imagine a world with his own friends
to top things off the creator of Hey
Arnold allegedly based the show’s
premise on a real-life boy he met and
he’s thus been accused of profiting off
this poor child story give me your purse
Grammy in hand it’s just a push you know
for what our worldly possessions that we
cannot take them with us
hey I know you you’re the punk with the
bus pass
number four ash is in a coma the Pokemon
franchise I hereby declare to the
Pokemon of the world I will be a
pokémon master ash tried to be the very
best Pokemon master there ever was
this creepypasta explains why the
general themes tones and pacing change
after Ash is struck by lightning early
on in the anime series
in the first episode when ash steals
Misty’s bike to take Pikachu to the
hospital
a lightning accident renders ash
immobile and as the theory goes puts him
into a coma he’s found days later and
his highly medicated dreams allow him to
become a Pokemon master
so the first few episodes are his brain
trying to make his dreams come true all
while being able to move around in a
perilous world hey what happened to your
bike what happened to my bike you
happened to my bike you little looser
more evidence to support the theory
comes from the fact that Team Rocket’s
offensive towards ash soon becomes quite
lakhs
surrender now or prepare to fight yeah
that right unfortunately if he ever was
to realize he was in a coma and wake up
the shop to his brain would cause
monumental damage ash races to catch up
with his rival is he running towards
victory danger or disaster no one knows
for sure so be sure you’re here for the
next pokemon number three Squidward’s
suicide SpongeBob SquarePants
hi bud modify hide and seek
suicide is never the answer this
creepypasta made its way to the Internet
in 2010 ruining childhoods everywhere
the story starts with a Nickelodeon
production team that reviews a new
episode but is then horrified by gory
images akin to a snuff film that are
intermixed with the self-inflicted death
of Squidward by shotgun hello Squidward
we were gonna give this spot to the
spongebob nuclear testing theory but
Squidward’s suicide gives even more
darkness to an already depressing
character
while it is dark and way beyond
depressing the mystery surrounding this
tale makes it an intriguing one as well
hey Squidward you’re not a zombie
remember Oh welcome to the Krusty Krab
may I take your order number two dead
Bart The Simpsons now this is one show
that has no short of creepypasta stories
around it you away for good
but by far the most popular story is
dead Bart which tells the tale of an
infamous lost episode of The Simpsons
from the first season in which one of
the main characters Bart Simpson meets
his death alright keep going but you do
know what happens when you mix acids and
bases right course I do as the episode
reaches the final two acts the world
becomes distorted and eventually
crumbles away but not before shots of
tombstones with the names of Simpson’s
guest stars some of whom hadn’t even
lent their voices to the series yet
guests who died since like Michael
Jackson and George Harrison the dates
were when they would die the credits
were simply silence while the theory has
been proven false the original poster
stated that even Simpsons creator Matt
Groening became disturbed upon hearing
about this so-called lost episode
mentioning this to anyone who was
present results in them getting very
angry and forbidding you to ever mention
it to Matt before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions it may
not sound as bad when you when you hear
this but that made me get away from
Italia for a while honestly and then now
don’t panic
until I figure out where we are who your
dental pelvic
I am afraid we are enough to find their
sister the buttercup should be in charge
yeah
you should roam the up and tell her
that she should be running the show
number one
Angelica made them all up Rugrats mommy
mommy I just gotta tell the truth the
real truth what if all our favorite rug
rats were not even real okay well
technically since they’re animated
they’re not but in the world of the TV
series they are supposed to be a really
good story while the details involving
Angelica are different between each
version the main point of this theory is
that almost all the main Rugrats
characters are just the hallucinations
of this slightly older female antagonist
position I still got to do my son the
evidence to support this theory is based
on the character traits of each of the
toddlers parents this can’t be happening
for example Chucky is always a nervous
wreck because he and his mother actually
died in a car crash
and to make up for Tommy being stillborn
Uncle Stu never stops making toys what
about these mr. muckle honey
I call him Wakko specs because you kill
me such a theory stating that Angelica
may be imagining them all just goes to
show how impressionable children can
really be whether you believe the theory
or not we are sorry for ruining your
childhood do you agree with our list
what’s your favorite TV creepypasta

tell you that um ah you’ll find out when
