This was too fucking dark for a kids’ show. How did it get past the censors?

What's wrong, they're just funny comedians.

>It says "Slay" instead of "Kill."
Same thing. These guys make SNUFF FILMS. How was that allowed in a family network?

It’s the terms you use, not the actual actions that matter to the censors most of the time. Why do you think anime dubs always used “Destroy” instead of “Kill”?

Well the first draft originally didn't have the S in front of it

I love when that actually happens. Something gets censored, in anger its made worse and the censor says its fine.

We have this same kind of thread every day

Because they know something even worse might get submitted and just approve of it. Similar to how something far more explicit gets submitted and the censored one is what they actually wanted.

because when it comes to murder and violence there was a lot of leeway for shows that weren't necessarily violent. While courage had show lite horror elements, it was still a comedy. All while you had shit like DBZ which had to beat around the bush about death and uses phrases like "sent to another dimension".

Or the infamous Shadow Realm.

As a kid i never realized he was a Quentin Tarantino reference.

It just says that they slated twelve what’s dark about it I love a good comedy

It's because the era of children's entertainment has gotten so sheltered, people explode when they hear Incredibles say "hell" or "damn". As if kids don't hear worse words around their parents.

I would like to have a filtering job

I always remember when I was 9 years old, my friend’s mom was back to my house and suddenly some asshole shoots in front of us, almost killing us, and she slams on the breaks and screams “WHAT THE HELL?”. She then proceeded to spend 15 minutes profusely apologizing for swearing in front me and I just wanted to tell the reason i was at her house was because my dad said, and this is the actual quote, “that fucking idiot cunt cable guy somehow managed to break our thermostat so I’m sending you to Scotty’s place so you don’t fucking freeze to death tonight while I try to get someone who isn’t a dipshit to fix this cockery.” It that unusual? Did most parents not swear casually around their kids? If that is true then no wonder there’s a bunch of pussies wandering around these days

But wasn't the shadow realm worse than "death"? It seems like being kidnapped into an alternate hell-dimension would be a lot worse than just dying.

I don't think that's true. I remember there are screencaps from regular show when it first premiered like 9 years ago with Yea Forums saying "oh man mordecai said screwed? this show is going to get canceled". And then it lasted until 2017.

Kids don't know that snuff films are a real thing?

Yeah same with the word "destroy" you can't say kill but its AOK to say Destroy even though historically destroy meant something close to genocide

No it's not.

you can come back though

>edgy dad raised edgy son
ah so

It lasted until 2017 and all those episodes got censored.

When I was a kid. I thought snuff meant somebody died on screen(like actually got murded not fake) This was when FacesofDeath was a big thing.

as a kid the one thing that shocked me was Johnny Bravo making an overt reference to Jesus in a Christmas episode.
THAT is something typical children's cartoons don't do.

Pre-9/11.

No, seriously. 9/11 caused a lot of laws to be created around childrens shows and violence in them.

>9 years
Nigga don't remind me.

I don't remember that at all. I thought the Christmas special was a Dr. Seuss parody.

>episode release
>march, 2000

yup checks out.

>Call me back in 15 years when you're a coed
>My word is more family friendly
And believe it or not, changing Marik's back from being CARVED IN to tattooed actually makes it worse, since there's no way they had modern tattoo parlor equipment, and the most likely method they would have used would, while hygienic, be really fucking painful, and based on how intricate it was, would have taken several days to finish. Another example of the dub's censorship being more hardcore than the Japanese version.
Also, the deathtraps at the docks with the drowning and Tea being under a dangling concrete block weren't covered up with "your soul will be sent to the Shadow Realm" business like the "dark energy blades" and the "portal" under the glass roof.

>swears are edgy
No user, casual swearing is not edgy in any way, form or manner.

Casual swearing
>Oh, shit!
Trying to shoehorn in as much obscenity as possible because you're a toothless whitetrash hick
>that fucking idiot cunt cable guy somehow managed to break our thermostat so I’m sending you to Scotty’s place so you don’t fucking freeze to death tonight while I try to get someone who isn’t a dipshit to fix this cockery

Yes, that is casual swearing you inbred mongoloid. Now
>Oh shit!
Is literally never casual. There is never a singular circumstance where you would use a fucking exclamation point in casual conversation.

Courage was “for kids” on a certain level, but really it was just a good fucking show for anyone. It wasn’t scared to get weird, and CN did a good thing not trying to nerf it.

That’s a pretty small price to go pay, and it still sounds like something from a news article.

slay is a common word for kill in news headlines

How's that even scary?

Rugrats had episodes about stories from the bible. It was a different time.

I just realized that he is a parody of Quentin Tarantino.

Just now? There are probably kids who heard of this guy first, and I doubt it took them very long to understand when they learned about the real one.

Yes, I'm a bit slow.
But to be fair, there is probably some info lost in translation since I didn't watch Courage in english, maybe?

That's not-

That's not how spoken language works. An exclamation point exists in writing to show a character has yelled, or said something forcefully, or been angry or surprised. If you're talking to someone, and you raise your voice or speak harshly or quickly or loudly, you've "used" an exclamation point. Except we don't "use" punctuation like that when speaking, in much the same way you wouldn't point out how there's an implied period at the end of your sentence when you finish talking to someone. If someone is surprised and yells out
>Oh, shit!
Then, yes, if I was transcribing what he said, I'd assume there was an exclamation point there. Unless he said it very blandly, in a monotone, to be sarcastic.

Well was his name the same in whichever language you watched? Because it’s rather obvious in english, so if they changed the name that’s a little more understandable.

>There is never a singular circumstance where you would use a fucking exclamation point in casual conversation.
That’s not true.

It was something Tarantella, from what I remember.
I was probably being just dumb and it flew over my head tho, it wouldn't be the first time.

because there weren't any pussies like you running the cartoon business back then

It was the second special.

why are people so sensitive now?

no it fucking wasn't. quit pretending like children need to be completely protected from the darkness of the world

you know what games are real popular with kids nowadays? the ones where your goal is to murder as many people as possible with guns

Because "slaying them" is a common phrase in entertainment. Do you live in a cave? The whole point of that headline is how it can sound both innocuous and dreadful at the same time, it's simple wordplay.

It doesn't work all the time. Remember how dark early Adventure Time was? The season 1 episode "The Enchiridion" originally wanted to have the second image as the title card. The censors didn't like it, so they tried tossing a censor decoy their way by showing them the much more graphic, comically disturbing top image. But the censors got wise to their tricks, and made them fuck off. They came back with the third, but according to the censors, it was still too dark, so they settled on the fourth, Finn smiling at Jake while pretending to stab him with a bread loaf. I remember when Yea Forums first freaked out over the censor decoy title card, good times.

Fuck you faggot, the 90's were also the same era where flash punches and in some cases, no punches were allowed to be shown on TV (looking at you, Spider-Man). Not everything was TNBA (arguably the most violent of the 90's DCAU, for example), Gargoyles, or Courage.

And for good measure, here's a bigger picture.

Creepypasta hinges on mystery.

"LOOK AT THIS LOST EPISODE OF SPONGEBOB WHERE SQUIDWARD'S EYES BLEED OUT AND YOU CAN'T CONFIRM IT'S REAL WITH A GOOGLE SEARCH!".

By spilling the beans these are all concept art and the first one is meant to thrown the censors for a loop, there's no mystery, there's no creepypasta, just creepy art.

Wait, is this a joke, or not?

courage was THE SHIT

many do they just don't like to admit it

whats wrong with slaying people Seinfeld slayed at the comedy club every night
