Were there any cartoons that your parents didn't approve of you watching growing up?

In the dub they definitely did sound like that now that I think about it.

My mom hated me watching Rugrats because I would, as she said, "turn into Angelica." Looking back on it that's an incredibly legit reason, actually; I do remember becoming a little shit multiple times after watching her get everything she wanted from it.

lmao your mom was afraid of her own children.

Born in 88 so the standard shot like South Park and Beavis&Butthead, but my bedroom was upstairs and by the time I was seven they bought a new tv and moved the old tv into my room so I wouldn't bug them to let me watch cartoons in the living room so it didn't matter
Mom would go in and out of bible thumper phases and walked in on me watching DBZ when pic related happened, she unplugged the tv, put me in the car and drive me to our pastors house, told him I was watching some show about the devil killing people, when we got home she took the tv out of my room, and I had to stand in front of the congregation at church the following Sunday and confess to what I was watching and "renounce the show in the name of the lord", that was the last time I went to church, after that I'd just stay home with dad on Sundays since he thought going to church was a waste of time, couple days later dad put my tv back in my room he was pretty chill with cartoons as long as they weren't Ren&Stimpy

children are terrifying.

Forgot pic

What about Cow and Chicken?

My parents were pretty cool about me watching whatever, there were a handful of shows they didn't like me watching with them just because they didn't really like them but wouldn't care if I watched them on my own - CatDog comes to mind.

My mom hated South Park, The Simpsons, and Beavis and Butthead. She also got really pissed off when my brother and I started saying 'whomps' after watching that Recess episode.

Yeah, I didn't get to watch DBZ as a kid either. I started with GT, sadly.

I was banned from Ren & Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead for obvious reasons. The first show I got banned from watching was You Can't Do That On Television. Damn I'm old.

Your mom is based.

Based and Whomp-pilled.

CatDog was shit, your parents have good taste.

Never forget how Nick shilled the fuck out of it and tried to make it the next Rugrats, until SpongeBob came and BTFO CatDog.

My mom was the same way with almost all anime, even the perfectly innocent stuff. She just has it in her mind that the only good cartoons are Disney and everything else is for some sick and twisted pervert/devil worshiper. Thankfully she never got too crazy with it and still let me watch most stuff she would just never shut up about it.

This is really funny to me because my parents were fonts of R&S quotes. "It is not I who am crazy, it is I who am mad" and "Do not press the jolly candylike button" were common in my household growing up

Agreed, I liked it as a kid cuz I was a dumb kid but in hindsight it wasn't very good, same with Angry Beavers

To be fair, I got in trouble for singing "Don't whizz on the electric fence!" while doing the dishes, and that was that.

I was, for a time, not allowed to watch Courage the Cowardly Dog, because after seeing the Ramses episode premiere, I got nightmares.

My Aunt HATED SpongeBob because he was in his underwear. That was it.

That was the best episode.

>all these based parents not letting their kids watch pleb-tier shit

I wasn't allowed to see any Cartoon Network show after the Cartoon Cartoons, as my parents thought these shows were of much lower quality and incredibly annoying to watch.

Can't say I missed out, with the exception of Megas, these were indeed awful shows and started the downfall of CN.

No those shows were ok. The downfall started with Adventure Time.

My mom didn't "approve" of many things I was watching but thankfully the only things she ever actually put her foot down on were the obvious things like South Park. She tried her best to keep me from watching things like that but I was always one step ahead of her. Like when she programmed the TV to block certain channels and I would hook up a VCR with a tuner to get around it. Or when she later learned to block programs with certain content ratings and I went through the TV manual and found the reset code.

>mfw I actually called TiVo impersontating my dad and convinced them to give me a parental lock reset code

The haunting calls and weird choice of animation for Ramses disturbed kid me. I got over it after a short while, and even would watch the show when no one was around, having gained an understanding that despite the spooky themes, it was generally in good fun.

Adventure Time (and Regular Show) were the only things keeping the network alive for a hot minute. Because what actually was causing the downfall of CN was CN Real.

AT literally saved the Network from live-action shit. 2010-2014 was the best fra CN had since the Cartoon Cartoon era.

My mom hated The Simpsons because my brother had a tendency to repeat the stuff he saw on TV over and over again. She banned it after getting called into a parent-teacher conference because he'd been doing Ralph Wiggum impressions and the teacher thought something might be wrong with him.

Megas, the original Ben 10, and Foster's were fine. Camp Lazlo was good somtimes. Juniper Lee failed to beat out American Dragon for being a similar-concept show. But yeah, there was definitely a drop in good stuff to watch after the Cartoon Cartoon era ended.

>CN Real

Why did they ever think that would be a good idea on a CARTOON channel

yeah she is.

They wanted the Disney and Nickelodeon money since their Live-action shows were doing well, not to mention that it's much cheaper to make than cartoons.

That movie where the kid gets the ability to see and hear cartoon characters in his head was obviously the test run for the idea of live-action programming. Someone must have really been pushing for that flaming heap of garbage, because they made a spin-off show for it, and then probably used it to justify programming other live action content. It was a completely stupid idea, and I'm glad that the people in charge of the network then aren't anymore.

I always groaned when that shit was on.

Jesus, American christfags are fucking retarded. Sorry you had to go through that, user.

>She banned it after getting called into a parent-teacher conference because he'd been doing Ralph Wiggum impressions and the teacher thought something might be wrong with him.

The teacher had something wrong with themselves.

The last episode was scarier than the ramses one

Not that she didn't approve of it, but my mom hated Hey Arnold for some reason. I don't know what her problem with it was but whenever she saw it on TV she'd make a comment about how she didn't like it.

Yeah it was one of those super hardcore baptist deals, dad couldn't stand it and would rather spend Sunday mornings home watching Andy Griffith, now from the time I was in high school until I turned 27 he considered me the son he screwed up on until my younger brother eloped with his slut girlfriend and turned into trailer trash, so now we're on good terms again

Your mom's a faggot

Religious mother, anything involving the occult was banned. Mostly this effected Eastern media, Pokemon and Yugioh, stuff like that. But the one that always infuriated me was the ban on Scooby Doo. A show where the ghost or monster is always just some jackass in a costume was banned for witchcraft or whatever.

Ironically I think excessive bans and jumping at shadows like this is one of the earliest ways to make your children realize they can't trust you on everything, including religion. Haven't gone full fedora, but I can't be bothered to care strongly about faith in any way, not enough to stop me from enjoying myself.

I'm pretty sure there was a lot of shows my parents didn't approve of (my dad didn't like or understand the anime my sister would watch), but let me and my sister watch them anyway, mainly because they would sometimes watch them themselves. The only shows that I remember being "banned" were any adult shows that weren't King of the Hill and The Simpsons.

Foster's is well-liked, but I thought Camp Lazlo was really funny. Never watched much of the others.

To be fair, it wasn't jokes he was repeating but instead random phrases in his best (awful) Ralph voice.

Was your mom a bitch?

>The only one I can think of is Ginger because it explored some pseudo-sexual activities like french kissing
I honestly don't remember this

My parents wouldn't let me watch "violent cartoons". Transformers, G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons and Thundercats. Technically He-Man and Silverhawks were banned too, but that was a non-issue because they aired at like 6am. Fuck waking up that early on a weekend.

I also missed the first season of TMNT, because it took an entire year to convince my parents that I was literally the only person in my class that wasn't allowed to watch it (the last piece of leverage was pointing out that even the weird Mormon kid could).

The only cartoon my mom (My dad never gave a shit what I watched) was Card Captor Sakura cause "It was about Satan Worshiping"

This. There was this one gay guy who had to repress his sexuality because of his parents, and once he moved out, he felt like he had to "make up for lost time" and became a filthy whore. He probably could have been in a stable relationship instead had his parents just accepted him.

Nah, just concerned. We got the Simpsons back when we figured out he was just being a dumb kid and not actually retarded.

My mom prevented me from watching Spongebob at one point early in my childhood because she thought it was stupid and vapid. A couple years afterward, I finally watched a ton of the early seasons and loved it. Looking back as an adult, it isn't as good as I thought it was then, probably because it was the one forbidden fruit I had. I was otherwise allowed to watch pretty much any television I could access that wasn't rated R.
