part of growing up is realizing that all your favorite kid shows were actually horrifying from The Unbelievable crimes committed by SpongeBob SquarePants to the Grim origins of cat dog here are some Nickelodeon theories that'll ruin your [Music] childhood scary God Parents everyone knows that the fairies of Fairly Odd Parents exist to make kids happy they're assigned to sad children to grant their every wish a so wholesome or so I thought you see I've been doing some thinking fairy world's magical Society literally cannot function without sad children we see in the musical special schools out that
if all the kids on Earth were happy fairies wouldn't be able to grant wishes the magic they would have used doesn't just disappear though it builds up inside of them and if left unchecked ultimately makes them explode so it's in the interest of their survival for kids to be sad so they can expel all that dangerous magical energy on wishes see where I'm going with this the fairies make the children of Earth miserable on purpose but how well fairies wipe the memories of kids when they grow up or no longer need them it's supposedly done
to ensure that adults don't learn about magic but the theory goes that that's just a cover up the real reason is far more nefarious see although adults forget about their Fairy God Parents they don't forget they had happy childhoods they just don't remember why that means that even if they had neglectful parents like tamy they'll remember being happy because of this they're doomed to repeat the same mistakes as their parents so their own kids become sad and need veryy God Parents and the cycle continues there's evidence of this too in the special Channel Chasers Timmy
is shown as a father and he's just as bad as his own parents I'm here to babysit the little targets I mean the precious gifts from above but I whoops got to go I'm going to be late bye Tammy bye Tommy so to summarize the fairies are a race of parasites feeding off the despair of humanity for their own benefit jeez with resumees like that they should go into politics Puffs ped H Mrs Puff SpongeBob's much a grieved driving instructor I always felt sorry for her having to put up with the yellow fellow Shenanigans all
the time that is until I made some startling discoveries the so-called Mrs Puff is a lot less innocent than she first appears in the episode no free rides puff contemp blades leaving Bikini Bottom changing her name and starting a brand new boating school but then she dismisses the idea saying not again not again well that's suspicious she also remarks in the episode doing time that losing her sanity isn't a road she wants to go down again that's a road we don't want to go down again there's that word again again right just how many times
has she lost her mind and started a new life and in another episode we see inside Mrs Puff's house revealing that she's been hoarding other characters possessions including SpongeBob's diary uh what just when you think it can't get any fishier in that same episode she appears on the front of a newspaper with the damning headline deranged boat teacher makes getaway oh boy supposedly she distracted authorities with balloon animals while making her Escape now watch this C from no free rides I hope I still remember how to do [Music] this yeah I don't think there's any
denying it Mrs Puff is actually an insane clle a maniacal criminal from out of town living under a fake identity to avoid the law man you think you know somebody I can neither confirm nor deny whether I'm hiding a criminal past of my own but but I assure you my future will be filled with awesome videos like this one if you want to be there when they drop why not like And subscribe that way you'll never miss out again all finished awesome let's get back to the theories Angelica's Angels any discussion about Nickelodeon theories would
be incomplete without bringing up the Grandaddy of them all I'm just going to say it the babies on the Rugrats are all figments of Angelica's imagination in reality they're all dead I know just hear me out you know how St Tommy and Dill's dad is always spending countless hours making toys in the basement well according to this popular Theory it's not actually his job it's a coping mechanism supposedly Tommy didn't survive his birth leaving a distraught stew to slave away making toys for the son he never had yikes and what about the other Rugrats well
we already know Chucky's mom passed away at some point prior to the story but what if Chucky went alongside her and say a car crash or something the tragedy would certainly explain why his dad Chaz is the nervous wreck we see in the show as for twins Phil and liil the Devils were expecting but decided to terminate their pregnancy as Angelica never knew the gender of the child to be she imagined both outcomes Kimmy is explained a little differently she is alive but Angelica has never actually met her her mother Kiera lost custody of her
when she married Chaz and moved to the US Angelica heard the stories and added kimm to the group like this the Lonely Girl created the friend she never had yikes but what about Dill well Dill is the only real baby in the cast he's the only one that actually acts like one and so can't talk to Angelica ah pretty convincing right well I don't buy it I know it's a popular Theory but it sounds like an allmighty stretch to me thankfully co-creator Arlene clasy agrees she outright debunked the theory in 2016 Case Closed childhood saved
phw don't get too comfortable though that's the last time you'll hear those words today Drake and Josh and everyone Nick's liveaction sitcoms were gamechanging when they started rolling out in the 90s but nauy hit Drake and Josh was argu the most popular it follows the titular Step Brothers as they get up to all kinds of wacky hij Jinks so far so standard but this next Theory claims it stands out from Nick's other sitcoms or nickc coms in one very significant way it's a show within a show see all the nickc coms after D&J are in
the same universe we know this because they regularly cross over with each other Drake and Josh though we see characters in other shows like I Carly watching episodes of it so this is hardly a theory at all it's a fact Drake and Josh is a niccom within a niccom but it goes deeper in one I Carly episode Drake and Josh Side characters Craig and Eric make a flesh and blood appearance but if they're meant to be fictional characters in the greater Nick verse how does that make any sense well get this Drake and Josh is
not fictional it's a reality show with a Truman showes twist the titular brothers are the stars with no idea the extent to which their lives are on show to the world ever wondered how their sister Megan ends up with all those crazy gadgets and gizmos the showrunners are dropping them to her to spice things up now the duo are aware they're in a show seeing as they speak to the audience at the start of each episode but the theory goes they have no idea that the cameras keep rolling to capture all their Misfortune that's got
to be illegal right the crabby patty secret formula admit it ever since first watching SpongeBob SquarePants you've wanted to know what goes into crabby patties to make them just so darn addictive unfortunately I figured it out and I really wish I hadn't hear me out the key ingredient in a burger like the Krabby Patty is meat right so where does Mr Krabs get it buckle up most residents of Bikini Bottom are intelligent anthropomorphic sea creatures the only other creatures we see are small fry like sea snails worms and clams which are depicted as subservient pets
but if the only possible source of meat are citizens and pets that doesn't look great for old Mr Krabs best case scenario he's been cooking the Bikini Bottom equivalent of cats and dogs and grinding them up into patties jeez will Gary be next then this sorted reality has been hidden in plain sight the whole time too think about it the Crusty crab's chief competition is the Chum Bucket Chum is literally groundup fish used by fishermen to attract larger fish the larger fish being in this case SpongeBob and Co sure nobody likes the Chum Bucket but
that's probably just because it doesn't sugarcoat reality like Mr Krab's Place does and that's the nice answer the even darker alternative is that bikini bottomites themselves are rounded up butchered and turned into Chum before being sold in panties and cannibalized um no matter which way you look at it it's super messed up of course there is one other possibility that the burgers are all plant-based all the bikini bottomites could just be chowing down on veggie burgers who knows maybe it's the meat eater in me but I can't picture anybody going as crazy as they do
over the vegetarian option stew priz now I know Rugrats is set in the 9s and they didn't live in an economic hell back then but the pickles family did rather well for themselves didn't they a big house and enough income to support the whole family that said stew is depicted as the main bread winner yet doesn't hold a steady job relying instead on erratically selling whatever invention he comes up with next in the first movie his brother points out that not only does he have no insurance but no savings either what gives how have the
pickles kept afloat I'll tell you how stew has a dark secret no how he's an avid inventor well when he's down in the basement he's not making innocent toys he actually creates high-tech weaponry and sells it to criminal gangs foreign governments and black market agents think about it the repar wagon supposedly the definitive kids toy is for some reason equipped with flamethrowers I wouldn't let a kid anywhere near that thing hell even built a giant Mecca repar that went on a rampage in Paris let's be honest Stu doesn't sell toys that's just a cover story
he sells deadly weapons how many lives have been lost because of his infernal Works how many families shattered these are the questions that keep me up at night SpongeBob's body count we've already established that the residents of Bikini Bottom are no stranger to dastardly Deeds but surely SpongeBob himself is as innocent as they come wrong he's the worst of the lot and I'm not just theorizing check this out I'm going to the Moon SpongeBob the moon can I go no way SpongeBob especially after your little mishap with my whirly bird oh my god there are
well over 50 gravestones here all because of SpongeBob just for some context notorious monster John Wayne gasy only offed 33 people in 6 years SpongeBob beat him in a single whirly bird incident something he clearly shows No Remorse for what exactly happened we may never know and that's not all in another episode bubble buddy SpongeBob left a fish buried near a pool of brine on the pretense that he could experience high tide the bubble buddy he'd created was supposed to dig him out and stop him from drowning but it didn't SpongeBob literally left him to
die and how many civilians has everyone's favorite sponge Ram over while boating recklessly not to mention that time he utterly decimated bubble toown my bubble leg his body count must be well over a 100 by now I think it's safe to say that this sponge is not only the most heinous criminal in Bikini Bottom he's one of the deadliest in the world alone in the world cat dog is a weird show even by Nickelodeon standards it follows the titular character or characters of cat and dog who are fused together into one freaky hybrid animal only
the show never explains where the hell they came from nor how they were joined which has led to some wild theories some people say they're the work of a mad scientist conducting inhumane experiments in a hidden laboratory but I'm here to offer a less cliche Theory ever noticed how run down and decrepit the city of nearburg where cat dog is set is and isn't it odd that it's entirely populated by strange humanoid animals well that's because the show is set after a nuclear apocalypse the animals of nberg were mutated by The Fallout causing them to
gain incredible intelligence and morph into new strange forms cat dog was originally a separate cat and dog before they became fused together by the radiation and began a joint life of existential suffering and there would be a lot of suffering now one just install Abomination cat dogs reproductive and disposal organs were eradicated so yes they're forced to poop out of each other's mouths no wonder cats always so grumpy hey Helga Hey Arnold is a classic Nick tune that follows the adventures of the titular Arnold as he navigates life in the big city at least that's
what the showrunners would have you believe let's look at another character Helga Helga is a supporting character that routinely bullies Arnold oh that's only to cover up her feelings for him her home life is hell with an alcoholic mother and a workaholic father they shower love and praise on Helga's older sister Olga while not sparing Helga a second thought they don't even care enough to remember to pack her lunch at times her whole life is a huge drama in fact it's the central drama that's right Hey Arnold isn't about Arnold at all it's a show
about Helga it's her struggles the viewer follows most often she might monologues almost every episode and she's undoubtedly the driving force behind the story I mean come on who is it that repeatedly says Hey Arnold in the opening credits Hey Arnold arold Arnold Arnold Arnold that's right Helga the title is a quote from our real protagonist everything May superficially point to Arnold being the main character but that's only because from Helga's perspective he's the most important person in the world world the only person to ever show her true kindness and pay her real attention have
you been cutting onions in here or something nasty karate right I'm sorry in advance for this one okay here we go in the SpongeBob episode karate Chopper SpongeBob and Sandy find themselves addicted to doing karate together whether it's at work at home in public they just can't get enough they get so bad that SpongeBob can barely get any work done at the Crusty Crab all I can think about is karate with Sandy if you hadn't guessed by now this theory states that karate doesn't have anything to do with the episode at all it's really about
getting jiggy with it stop for a second that sounded like karate right now they try their best to resist but after watching each other slice a big sausage they can no longer hold back and end up Karate all over the place leading to this scene do you think Mr Krabs ever does karate was that pillow talk followed by The Duo being caught in a compromising position come on Nick and least trying to be subtle but if you're still not convinced what does SpongeBob do when he comes home to find Sandy there ready to surprise him
with karate just a second Safety First Safety First what could that be an allegory for right I'm done the things I do for you sick sick people Timmy Turner's miserable life so we know that Timmy Turner is a sad kid neglected by his parents belittled by his babysitter bullied at school not fun it's precisely why he's the perfect candidate for Fairy God Parents you know his magic friends he uses every day to make his sad life more bearable sound like anything else uh-huh Cosmo and Wanda are metaphors for anti-depressants whenever things get too tough for
Timmy to deal with he reaches for them in Universe kids are supposed to lose their fairies when they turn 13 but Timmy is shown to somehow keep is could this mean his mental health struggles continue well into adulthood man the fair's usually only ever help timy providing him with some much needed Solace but there's one exception if Timmy abused uses their power by using them too much dangerous side effects arise just like anti-depressants implying poor Tami might take more than the recommended dose when he's in a particularly bad place but what of his villainous teacher
Mr Crocker he's always going after Timmy's fairies is he actually a fellow addict desperate for his fix that or a therapist attempting to curb Timmy's medication use after all Timmy's wishes almost always go wrong does that mean he's constant ly dosing his medication too high and suffering the ill effects I'm not sure about this one what about you guys let me know down in those comments retroville Revenant you ever stop and wonder what happened to the worlds of your favorite TV show after the series ended I do lately I've been thinking a lot about Jimmy
Neutron you know the boy genius with an insane IQ of 210 someone with his credentials doesn't end up at McDonald's no what if he was enlisted to work for the US military there he creates unbelievable weapons none like we've ever seen before and when a colossal War breaks out his high-tech Weaponry inadvertently leads to the planet's near destruction it doesn't end there though bear with me on this over time the US is rebuilt with new buildings rising up over the ruins of the past but not all could be hidden the nuclear scorched ozone layer has
left a gloomy purple shap made meanwhile Jimmy's now very elderly teacher Miss fou struggles to deal with the loss of her husband in the war and becomes a cynical depressed woman to escape her loss she decides to use her maiden name bitters see where I'm going with this now and in the cold vacuum of space the incredible Neutron Tech that was used in the conflict alerts the evil urkin empire to the Earth's existence yep the world of Jimmy Neutron becomes the one we see in Invader Zim with the Earth barely recovered from global war the
urkin see it as worthless so it's the perfect place to ditch Zim their worst Invader there he encounters Miss bits but she's actually miss fou Jimmy's old teacher and there's one other factor that links the two shows baby Eddie Eddie is a Jimmy Neutron villain a super intelligent evil baby but according to this Theory he's not a baby at all he's actually a member of the alien race the narok from Invader Zim see the narok are super intelligent evil aliens that look like human babies voila it all makes sense kind of what's next does I
Carly turn into the last air bender actually write that one down a lonely only child oh boy another Rugrats theory about Angelica we can all agree that she's spoiled rotten right but why is that well I think I have an answer and it's not very fun what if Drew and Charlotte have fertility issues after unsuccessfully trying for a baby for so long they finally get lucky with Angelica so they shower her with affection we know from the episode Angelica's worst nightmare that her parents are ecstatic when Charlotte's pregnancy test comes back positive this implies that
they want more children and have likely been trying for a while then at the end of the episode they reveal that for an unspecified reason Charlotte isn't pregnant after all what if this was a misar carriage and what if it was one of many that the pair had suffered it would explain why Drew is more well off than his brother Stu but always seem somewhat jealous of him because Stu and Dei never had any problems conceiving in fact they have two kids we see in the sequel series all grown up that Angelica is still an
only child around a decade later and is just as spoiled as ever I think what gives this Theory such teeth is how realistic it is the showrunners may have wanted to provide commentary on the touchy subject in a time when it was hardly discussed if so I applaud them fat crab and little boob the cast of SpongeBob is composed of a whole host of nautical freaks you'd be forgiven for dismissing their unfa likee intelligence as standard cartoon fair but the real reason is rooted in horror horror and reality you see Bikini Bottom seems to be
based on bikini adal a real Coral Reef in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 58 this area was used by the United States as a testing ground for nuclear weapons our Theory posits that after the test the native Wildlife became severely mutated the ocean in the atol was a radiated exposing regular fish squid and yeah sea sponges to said radiation what eventually evolved from the Neo primordial ooze was something new something different something Square yep SP Bob and the rest of the bikini bottomites are all nuclear Abominations need more evidence just take a look at
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy two humans that live in the deep sea City two humans that is that can breathe underwater and are the same size as the locals I submit to you that this dynamic duo were Navy divers sent down to take samples after the test who ended up being irreversibly mutated maybe they have gills now though I don't want to know where this could also explain the crazy technology they possess it's abandoned military equipment they salvaged still not convinced well hold your seahorses SpongeBob routinely uses cutaways for comedic effect and which one do
the creators choose to use here that clip is a recording of one of the bikini atol nuclear tests okay I'm convinced guess you could say this theory is the bomb sorry I'll see myself out dastardly Doug Doug is an absolute classic the cartoon follows the titular Doug funny as he navigates school life alongside a colorful cast of characters and I mean that literally most supporting characters are a vibrant Hue with the most notable exceptions being Doug and his love interest Patty but that's where the nasty part comes in some people believe that Doug and by
extension the creative team behind him are racists whoa I know I know but think about it of all the people around Doug who does he have eyes for one of the only other white characters in his class is it possible the show was pushing a supremacist message after all the other non-white characters are relegated to the background now sure this Theory would require those characters to be allegories for real world racial groups but is that really so unlikely TV has been used as a medium to put push all kinds of messages for decades luckily for
everyone though the whole debacle was apparently unintentional creator of Doug Jim Jenkins came out and said he actually wanted to bypass the issue of race entirely hence portraying the cast in the now iconic array of bright colors evidently this attempt didn't work but was Jim telling the truth or making up porkies to save face I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt here but what do you reckon let me know down in those comments below Dirty Dan it's pretty well established that unfortunately show business isn't always as magical as it seems and Nickelodeon
is no exception and I couldn't make a video on the topic without addressing that child actors on many of their nickc coms have shared some harrowing stories about working on set for years the theories at the center of this malstrom of controversy all LED back to Dan Schneider one of the lead Nickelodeon creators Dan was supposedly responsible for emotionally abusing the child stars he worked with according to them he'd regularly launch into shouting and screaming fits as he bered the kids for fluing lines or even just for feeling uncomfortable with what he asked them to
do indeed it's all but proven that Dan Schneider made life hell for many of his child actors infamously Amanda bines Alexa Nicholas and Janette MCC are all alleged to have suffered at his hands the latter two have both directly and indirectly outright accused the guy of Miss misconduct Janette alluded to an abusive Creator in her Memoir and both she and Alexa have made various claims online about Schneider hey Dan Schneider I know you're watching my Vine do you like my Vine fine fine fine look what you've done to me man that's dark seems like she's
covering up her pain with humor now at the end of the day these are all just allegations for now but they're absolutely convincing ones sorry to end things on such a foul note and with that I most certainly had my fa of theories for one day which of these did you find the most convincing let me know down in the comments and I'll see you in the next video thanks for watching [Music]
