Today we'll take a look at some of the strange and even disturbing theories
that some people with far too much time on their hands have created about
beloved children's cartoons hold on to your tinfoil hats and Xanax folks it's
going to be a greasy ride number ten Scooby Doo is a Soviet experiment
this one's an interesting one to begin with because it's kind of like how Hideo
Kojima makes these games he takes an actual historical events and then
rewrites what they actually meant to fuel his own games storylines let me
explain scooby doo was released in 1969 only two months after the moon landing
years after the cartoon had premiered the Soviet space agency had launched
both Sputnik one which was the first artificial satellite and Vostok 1 which
was the first manned space flight with Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space.
The Russians don't just have a history with men in space though they also have
a history with dogs in space. The dogs Belka and Strelka of were similarly sent
to space as living test subjects on the Sputnik 5 in 1960 and they became the
first Earth were creatures ever to fly into space and return alive. So what this
theory is saying is that the Soviets looked into experimental breeding
programs that could have produced super dogs with greatly enhanced intelligence
It sounds nuts because it's stupid but super intelligent animals would have
been a great asset to the Soviet space agency considering their average
astronaut was no smarter than a potato. So the theory kind of deviates and
either the Soviets bred Scooby Doo for super secret super intelligent training
considering Scooby Doo can talk or Scooby Doo was affected by cosmic
radiation when he was sent into space. But how did scooby doo get from Russia
to America? You're wondering probably not. It's theorized that the gang found
Scooby when they were investigating one of their spooky mansions
perhaps lived in by an ex Russian scientist who had escaped to America and
still proceeded with his mad science experiments. In case you're still not
convinced because I'm not scooby-doo is technically of German descent Great
Danes are actually a German breed which is the breed of dog that scooby-doo is
and the Germans were responsible for most of the rocket technology that the
Soviets then stolen used in their own space agency. Yeah a lot of these are
going to be really really long grasps folks so suspend your disbelief number 9
ash is in a coma I heard this one when I was a kid so I really don't think
it's valid a lot of people like to explain TV shows like this with oh the
character died at the beginning or they were in a coma or it's a so-and-so or
whatnot and this is one of the most famous iterations of these theories in
the very first episode of Pokemon ash gets hit by lightning now that's kind of
a reason for people to suspect that he would be in a coma and the rest of the
show is just him living out his fantasy of being a Pokemon master that he never
really got to. There's a couple of things that lend themselves towards this theory
One Ash never ages - Team Rocket becomes much less of a threat and actually helps
them out throughout the rest of the show and it also explains how nothing ever
changes I mean not just his age nothing the government politics his parents the
events sometimes there are earth-shattering events that take place
like the unknown event the Mewtwo event and nothing ever changes the idea that
as you spin in a coma is not a new one and there isn't a whole lot to back it
up other than the theories themselves ultimately I think it's just a show
about a bunch of weird kids with a bunch of weird little monsters that's just now
it needs to be the far more entertaining theory I've seen thrown around is that
Pokemon fights are essentially like illegal dog breeding and that there was
a huge war before Ash was born and that's why Pokemon battles are so
commonplace is because they were used to fight in the war and this is kind of the
fallout after that event imagine if instead of guns we use dogs to fight and
the better dog you had won the war it kind of makes sense number eight
winnie-the-pooh characters are signs of mental illness
this one actually holds a decent amount of credence each winnie-the-pooh
character represents a different mental disorder we do the poo has an eating
disorder and also probably ADHD which is where it breaks down for me because if
one has two of them it breaks the formula but whatever piglet has
generalized anxiety disorder owl has dyslexia and short-term memory
loss even though he's very intelligent Tigger suffers from ADHD I think Kluge's
has an eating disorder and Tigger has the ADHD kanga has social anxiety disorder
Roo has autism rabbit has obsessive-compulsive disorder
he or is obviously depressed and Christopher Robin has schizophrenia
because all he does all day is wander through the woods and imagine a bunch of
animals because none of these animals actually exists Christopher Robin is
just imagining them because he has no friends and is
kind of crazy to be fair though schizophrenia doesn't usually manifest
itself in children it takes place later in life so I don't know how much this
theory holds water. Number seven spongebob is a post-nuclear mutant off
Bikini Atoll it's no secret that Bikini Bottom is probably some variant of the
Bikini Atoll and considering that tons of nukes were tested off of Bikini Atoll
there's some credit to the theory that spongebob and his friends are mutated
fish tards that have been brought about by unrelenting nuclear testing but
there's a ton of spongebob theories actually there's the seven deadly sins
theory where sandy is pride greed as mr. Krabs pearl is lust and so on and so
forth but that was basically debunked by Tom Kenny himself in an interview so
scratch that one there's also the theory that all of the characters are addicted
to a different drug SpongeBob's on shrooms mr. Krabs mrs. puffer on medical
cocaine but this one's just kind of stupid because no TV executive would
allow anyone to pitch a show like that not not on a kids network but the
nuclear testing theory is quite interesting because a lot of the nuclear
radiation from the Bikini Atoll would have rested right below and so Bikini
Bottom could be a bunch of mutated fish in the area around the Bikini Atoll
number six Timmy's fairies are antidepressant meds
this one has really no evidence behind it but it kind of makes sense from a
medical standpoint I suppose there's a theory that Cosmo and Wanda from The
Fairly OddParents are actually Timmy's antidepressants helping him cope and
make his problems a little less exaggerated there's a lot of evidence to
suggest that Timmy might need antidepressants considering he seems to
have a ton of anxiety and stress there's also an episode where Timmy uses a
handheld aging machine to see if his Fairly OddParents will be with him into
his 20s and they are from what I remember about the show eventually the
fairly oddparents are supposed to leave Timmy when he doesn't believe in them
anymore or doesn't need them anymore but if Timmy needs his antidepressants for the rest of his life then they'll never really leave, will they? Number five the
Rugrats takes place in Angelica's head all right this one is on the creepypasta
wiki so take it with a grain of salt it means absolutely nothing but I've heard
this one before too when I was a kid the Rugrats are really just a figment of
Angelica's imagination Chuckie died in 1986 along with his mother which is why
Chad's is a nervous wreck all at the time
tommy was born in 1988 but he was stillborn which is why Stu is
constantly in the basement making toys for the son who never had a chance to
live the DeVilles had an abortion in 1990 and Angelica couldn't figure out
whether it be a boy or a girl thus creating the twins and yeah that's I
mean that's the equivalent of the theory it's an interesting with a toy around
with it's probably way too dark for any TV show to run there's not a whole lot
to it beyond that I think that's a little bit much to say that a
six-year-old girl would be able to imagine all of that in her head but
whatever psychosis number four Aladdin is set in the distant future I'm sure
you've heard this one before so I'll try to keep it brief but basically there's a
theory out there that says that Aladdin is not sent far in the past it's set in
a distant post-apocalyptic future it's another one of the favorites if you read
into Fantasia things post-apocalyptic futures come up a lot but this one has a
little bit of credence to it because of Genie. Genie is ageless he can live
forever Genie makes a reference that he's been
in his lamp for 10,000 years but all of the references he has what he would
consider pop-culture references are to people who are alive in our time meaning
that all of Eugenie's pop-culture references are from right now add 10,000
years on to that and you get roughly 12,000 ad which is when Aladdin is a
possibly set magical devices are simply technological devices that the natives
don't understand because the apocalypse is wiped out most of the earth which is
why it's such a desert the Cave of Wonders is a repository for all of these
old scientific artifacts that people don't quite understand it also explains
why Iago can talk although there does seem to be magic in Allen's universe so
that could kind of just explain away everything - number three ed ed and Eddy
are incorrectly remembering their childhoods this one has a lot of
credence to it considering it's actually an episode of the series but yeah
there's a huge theory that ed ed and Eddy are just remembering their
childhood incorrectly and that's how the show came about the show revolves around
them trying to remember all of these exploits they did when they were kids
that seemed incredibly unrealistic and have extraneous exaggerated details but
ultimately could have kind of happened this theory is basically given complete
precedents because in one of the episodes the EDS are remembering their
past experiences and they are completely ridiculous it also turns out that most
of their experiences didn't happen in the first place which gives kind of a
dark tone to the entire show as we know it that there's just a
bunch of senile old men remembering lives long-lost number two The
Flintstones are sent in the post-apocalyptic future
here's that post-apocalyptic crap again the reason that this is so confusing
it's not because they're in the same time period but Elroy from the Jetsons
takes a time machine to the Future to meet the Flintstones now the noise was
actually sent to take him to the Past but people speculate that the
malfunction didn't actually happen and instead of sending them to the Past it
actually did send into the future there's already a theory out there that
the Jetsons live in the sky to escape the horrible irradiated surface down
below what if the wasteland was a nuclear apocalypse and orbit City was
only a temporary home away from home all the earth recovered apparently Chris
Hardwick has also explained this theory before one of the most enduring charms
of the Flintstones is that animals are the technology you've got birds that
play records garbage disposals that are elephants and this kind of lines up with
our theory now the Flintstones was a take on the honeymooners which is kind
of the joke there if you sync it up with the post apocalyptic theory this could
be people using these now super irradiated intelligent animals to
replicate the technology they had in the past interesting yes intelligent no
number-one Charlie Brown is dying of cancer
this one's depressing and there's not a whole lot to back it up but it kind of
makes sense Charlie Brown is generally depressed he has no hair adults voices
don't mean anything to him because he's just tuning them out because he's
waiting to die because he has cancer that's really as far as that one goes
