Cartoons your parents never let you watch even though you wanted to

>>92998661
Pokemon was of the devil because Pikachu had pointy ears.

Dragon Ball was of the devil because they had aliens and aliens are just demons in disguise.

Ed Edd and Eddy was a conspiracy by the government to turn children retarded.

Spongebob was a conspiracy by the government to turn children gay.

>>92998826
your grandmother had a point

Nah, growing up, I loved watching weird cartoons with my dad on Sundays. I was embarrassed to watch anime while he was in the room, though.

>>92998763
It was, but here's the funny thing about that.

My parents saw comics as a goofy medium for children, so they just bought that stuff so that I wouldn't have to watch evil TV shows. So I read shit like Batman Year One, Spawn, and Preacher, because my parents thought Preacher was a Christian series to help better my walk with God. So the shit I ended up consuming instead was objectively worse than what I was banned from. It's not like it mattered either way though, because I just watched that shit behind their back. Then got whipped by a belt whenever they caught me.

I was never allowed to watch the simpsons,

I have never seen an episode before last season.

I really don't get how its lasted.

Couldnt watch the show nor play the card games.
It was the upbringing of the devil.

The cartoons they hated and never let us watch included:
- Anything with superheroes. Didn't matter if it was dark or light-hearted; it was "too violent" and "all they do is beat each other up all the time." Oddly, they didn't seem to mind us reading Batman comics (they were the Dark Age comics too, so they were really dark.)
- The Simpsons. We watched one episode ("Team Homer") and once the credits were rolling, my father declared that it's too adult and we won't be watching this anymore, ever.
- Most of the "dumb" cartoons, like "Cow & Chicken" ("It doesn't make sense! Why do they have human parents if they're animals?") or "The Mask" ("Did you know, some kids were taken to a hospital after seeing a cartoon just like this one!" -- i.e. misinterpreted echoes of the seizure-inducing Pokemon episode).
- "Samurai Jack". Not sure why, but probably because they considered it too violent (also: "This is a stupid cartoon! If he's a samurai then why is he named Jack?")
- The "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" horror series because they considered it too dark and scary. It was a sore point for my sister who was always a sucker for all things horror.
- They also frowned at Powerpuff Girls at one point because of the character "Him" ("He's basically Satan, right? So these Powerpuff Girls are usurping the role of God!"), but not to the point of outright ban.

I'm speculating that, because my parents were mostly raised on Communist-era cartoons as kids, they were pretty critical of anything that came from the USA in the 90's or later; it was just so different than what they were used to.

My parents weren't spergs. They let me watch whatever I wanted. Not /co/ related, but Dad was considerate enough to warn me that Stephen King movies might not be appropriate for an 8 year old.

>>92998722
>Pokemon was of the devil because Pikachu had pointy ears.
My father used to forbid us from anything Pokemon, until he actually bothered to do some research and found out that the "Pokemon battles" in the franchise were just sporting matches, not brutal battles to the death.

Holy shit fundies are such cancer.

>>92998661
My dad would actually show me all the cool cartoons.

>>92999168
To this day I try to explain to my parents that Pokemon battles were inspired by beetle fights the creator had as a kid with his friend, but they are dead set on the belief that the idea came from some sort of Satanic cult training he received.

To be fair, if you had a kid nowadays would you let him watch pic related??
Times change, and so kids taste. You can respect that or be a shitty father.

My parents didn't pay attention to anything I was doing.

Stuff on Adult Swim, especially Family Guy, it still didn't stop 8 year old me from watching it and ATHF

>>92998661
I remember my parents forbidding me from watching The Simpsons cause Bart would say words like "damn" or "hell." Oddly enough, they didn't care if I watched Ren & Stimpy, which I would argue had far worse shit in it than the Simpsons ever did.

>>92998661
Original Samurai Jack

>>92999324
If they wanted to, yeah. I might tease them a little over it, but that would be as far as I'd go.

>>92998661
I'm not familiar. My parents didn't care lol. I was four when South Park came out and I watched it with my older brothers. I was also "that kid who had Grand Theft Auto."

Ren and Stimpy was a hardcore no sell and I wasn't allowed to watch it. I didn't really want to watch it either because I thought the art was really grotesque and unappealing. Which is funny considering I really liked Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life, one which has what a lot of people call an ugly art style and the other holding really raunchy or gross humor.

>>92998955
>I really don't get how its lasted
$$$

for a while growing up my mom wouldn't let me watch ed edd n eddy since everyone in that show essentially treated each other like ass holes

My mom got upset because I was watching Gargoyles and Eliza told Goliath to 'shut up'.

My cousins weren't allowed to watch The Simpsons

Invader Zim, Grim Adventures, and even a couple of Anime from Toonami.

underage get off my BOARD

Only show my parents banned me from watching was Power Rangers because I kept kicking people in the shins.

I wish my parents didn't allow me to watch Courage the Cowardly Dog, it was traumatizing

>>92999644
If he was 8 when the movie came out he is old enough to be here.

Only stuff like Family Guy and South Park, my parents weren't really that restricted since I only watched CN, Nick and Disney.
I didn't really like going to my cousin's house because of how strict my aunt was, they were barely allowed to watch anything that I liked. No Spongebob, no EEnE, no Ben 10, no MLAATR, etc. Only Noggin, PBS Kids, and Phineas & Ferb

I wasn't allowed to watch South Park which is understandable, but I did find it weird at the time because my dad let me watch Family Guy with him but not that.

Also, my mom hated Ren & Stimpy but my dad fucking loved it, so I could only watch it if my dad was around.

My parents fucking hated Ed, Edd, n Eddy for some reason. Never watched a single episode until I was 14. Never understood why, as anything that wasn't overtly adult wasn't banned except for Samurai Jack because it kept giving me nightmares

>>92998661
my parents HATED Ed Edd n' Eddy

My mom was terrified of Courage and I wasn't allowed to watch it when she was around. She's still afraid of the show to this day.

>>93000261
No wonder they hated it.
If samurai Jack made you a pussy than I can't imagine what fear they had over you watching E3

>>92999119
>If he's a samurai then why is he named Jack?
We never did find out his name did we?

That was just a nickname given to him.

>>92998661
I had a tv in my room so it didn't matter what they told me not to watch.

They didn't want me to watch Ed, Edd n Eddy or shit like the Simpsons though.

I wasn't allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead, which in retrospect makes absolutely no sense because I was allowed to watch the Simpsons, South Park, any R rated movies I wanted, etc

I just assumed it was some extremely filthy, evil show, then when I finally got to seeing it in my teens I was like WTF, my mom is insane

>>92998661
At most I was told that my opinions were shit (EEnE). Not worded that way, but the message was the same.

Though with the internet these days, at best I would let mine on with software where they know I know every page of every site they go on. Really hoping people look unsupervised browsing as when cocaine was sold to children as candy in the 19th Century.

>could watch Beavis and Butthead
>couldn't watch Ren and Stimpy
What I could watch was mostly influenced by what my mom also found entertaining and felt like watching

>>92999049

>>92999119
>Oddly, they didn't seem to mind us reading Batman comics
Stubborn people have an idea in their head of what the medium is like, and have a hard time visualizing anything other than that. Like when people only think Marvel/DC when you say comics, or when parents rent Ninja Scroll for their kid because "it's a cartoon, must be for kids."
> it was just so different than what they were used to.
Basically.

Or maybe they were happy that you were just reading something instead of watching TV.

>>92998722
>Ed Edd and Eddy was a conspiracy by the government to turn children retarded.

I agree with this one desu that cartoon sucked

I don't remember ever being forbidden from watching a cartoon. I know my dad often watched Beavis and Butthead and South Park with me.

>>92998722
funny about Dragon Ball cuz it actually has true demons, like Dabura
my parents were strict about the amount of time i spend on TV, but not about the shows, maybe except that one time when they actually forbid me to watch great teacher onizuka when i was like 11

>>92998661
Beavis and Butt-head, obviously. She would let me watch Simpsons all the time, but my neighbor who would babysit always forbid it. She thought Pokemon was stupid, but didn't stop me from watching it.

Oh, and South Park. I recall my parents watching an episode one night after I had gone to bed, to see if it was "appropriate" for me. (I was 11 when it first aired). I remember being able to hear them from my room. My mom thought it was awful, but my dad couldn't stop laughing at it.

My banned list was

Ed edd and eddy
South Park
The Simpson till I was 10
Samurai jack
Digimon
You gu oh
Dragonball
Cyber 6
Pepperann
As told by ginger

Luckily for me they forgot like a day later and never enforced it.

My mom banned Billy and Mandy and EEnE for their grossout jokes.
Not unprecedented, either. My older brothers said she banned Ren and Stimpy too.

>not allowed to watch family guy or the simpsons or futurama

For a while in high school I felt like I'd missed out on some kind of cultural zenith, but looking back it's probably for the best

>>93001151

>>92998661
Simpsons and South Park

My mom wouldn't let me watch billy and Msndy. Thats it.

>>92999324
If they liked it, sure. Morals are taught by the parents. If I'm not a piece of shit then my hypothetical child wouldn't get a bad example out of cartoons

>>92999759
Stop depressing me.

>>93001177
He has until Season 9 starts (1998) of childhood goodness. Well, unless you also mean reruns or such.

>>93001177
I watched futurama later and enjoyed it, but every time I try watching the simpsons I just switch off. I don't get the appeal.

My family always got together to watch Simpsons and some other shows back in the day. It was never an issue and we all loved it.

But when Halloween came around and the treehouse of horror started, things changed. When Marge got up onto that stage and warned parents about the content, our parents took it fucking seriously for some reason and sent my brother and I to bed. I remember being so pissed off that I snuck downstairs and watched it from the stairwell

I wasn't allowed to watch Family Guy, American Dad or The Cleveland Show but I did anyway

Any and all anime was an evil virus of satan, even cartoons that looked like anime.

Mom was the cooler one about it, though, Dad went from thinking the shit was satanic to telling me I shouldn't like it because it's childish.

>>93001238
anon you mean nothing to me and your opinion has been discarded

>Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and D&D
For being Satanic devil-worshiping brainwashing devices that enticed young children to be cult leaders.

>Dragon Ball Z
Slightly self-imposed because my parents' wording made it sound like all anime was Satanic, so I never watched it until I was a senior in high school.

>The Simpsons
For being against the idea of a traditional family and being too adult. Still have never seen a full episode.

And then there'd be random bouts where my mom would freak out and think a thing was anti-God for some wild, speculative reason. This ranged from Casper, Friendship is Magic, to the Powerpuff Girls. Then she'd realized she'd overreacted and apologized.

I wasn't allowed to watch ed, edd, and eddy, the simpsons, or "scary stuff" like goosebumps.


My teacher in third grade wanted to throw a Halloween party and watch a goosebumps movie that was pg so they needed a signed consent form and my parents were the only ones who didn't sign it so i had to sit facing away from the rest of the class with headphones on and color. Such bullshit.


Also i had read all the goose bump books by that point.

>>92999168
At least your father did some research

None because my parents were cool with me watching whatever.

>>93000915
Reminds of that one European anon whose parents bought him an issue of Softpaw because "look, it's a comic with cute animals on the cover, so I bet my kid will like it!".

>>92999644
Not the guy you replied to but do you realize ATHF first aired in 2000 right? I was 7 when it first aired and I'm currently 25.

I wasn't allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead, which was probably fair enough because I was 6 or so at the time.


Then when South Park started, I wasn't allowed to watch that either, even though every kid at school was raving about it. Eventually my mom caved in and we rented a VHS of the show. I remember I laughed so hard I cried, and my mom was pretty much disgusted at the show. I think I remember that she let me rent more tapes in the future though. We didn't have comedy central, so my experience of the show was pretty much limited to occasionally renting a VHS.

South Park was such a cultural phenomenon though that even though I barely saw it, it was somehow a big enough part of my life. I'd watch online parodies, play the shitty N64 videogame, and I used to draw the characters. This might have just been over the period of a month or two though, my memory isn't great and time passes differently as a kid. So it seems like a huge chunk of time, but that might just be what it felt like as a kid.

My parents banned Digimon because it was evil. Until I asked them to prove it, then there wasn't a problem. I don't get that, by the way. Why call something satanic if you don't have any idea at all what it's about or how it was made?

Tai is better than Matt.

>>92998661
No. Thankfully I wasn't a pussy.

>EEnE
I always find this so funny because my mom loved that show (also my favorite as a kid) and I later tried telling her she had to be the only parent on the planet who approved of it but she has no idea what I meant or why parents wouldn't like it. "they just didn't get it." she HATED spongebob though and trashed it all the time for being "dumb and not even in a funny way like EEnE."
I think I had fun parents.

>>93001314
I remember thinking that all anime was horror because of this, it didn't help that it was the 90s, when some anime looked grittier, also despite being banned from most anime i thankfully was able to watch patlabor whenever i wanted, still one of my favourite mecha shows

none

Adult animation was barely anything back then

Batman beyond too violent she said nut she had no problem with me watching DBZ ironically,Futurama,and she didn't like the simpsons

My parents briefly forbid my brother and I from watching EEnE, after that early thong episode. They were still kinda strict about any form of nudity at the time, even if it was just butts. They also didn't like that the tongues were different colors.

It didn't last long, maybe a month or two, then they stopped caring.

Even though my dad didn't care and my sister and I watched it frequently, my mom wouldn't let us watch KND just because she thought it "looked ugly".
I was able to wacth Pokemon and play the games, but I could only collect a few of the cards because my mom thought thought that kids would gamble them and develop an addiction to gambling or something.
Yu-Gi-Oh was hated by both of my parents (for obvious parent reasons)
And while I was never banned form watching Spongebob, my Grandpa watched the premiere with me and my sister. After it ended, he just said, "Eh. It won't last long anyway."
At this point, my mom really doesn't care what I watch and has mellowed out about it quite a bit, but my dad has done a 180 and is pretty judgmental over anything I watch that isn't on ESPN.

>>92998661

EEnE because my parents though my siblings and I would do all the wacky shit the characters would do because we were jackasses that liked to fuck things up in the cul-de-sac we lived in.


Didn't work however.

>>92998661
My mom wouldn't let me watch the Johnny Quest movie when I was a little kid because she's Christian like that.

90s X-men. They were "too violent."

>>92998661
Was banned from watching cartoon network altogether for seven years. Don't remember entirely why, but I do distinctly remember my mom specifically disliking Teen Titans. Claimed it was too violent and was supposed to be for Teenagers because of the name. I also had my Antz VHS confiscated though that actually made some sense.

You don't even deserve the reply.

>>92998661
My mother grew up with hannah barbera cartoons so she never really forbid me much. She always told me the edds were stupid and courage the cowardly dog was ugly, but we enjoyed characters like grim, mandy and squidward, and cartoons like tom and jerry.

My old man on the other hand, he grew up watching wrestling, and to him every single cartoon was stupid stuff. He's a good man though, never forbid me from watching anything even if he thought it was garbage, except family guy, because he sat with me to watch an episode and told me it was the most mean-spirited thing he had ever watched, and he didn't want me to learn bad words from it.

I can't say I disagree with him, looking back.

>>93004397
Don't forget that part with the main character talking to the mutilated head of the friend he made in the army after the battle with the termites. That's pretty much all I remember from the movie since I last saw it several years ago.

I wasn't allowed to watch the Fushigi Yugi subbed vhs tapes my mom got for my sister. That was about it.

My parents banned all action shows (Batman; Avatar, Ben 10, Teen Titans) and all anime (even Pokemon or Hamtaro) because they thought they were all too violent and would influence me into killing people when I grew up. Pokemon was also banned for the same reasons, I only got to watch the first movie because I got pissed off that they kept banning it and I showed them that it was Rated G.

It actually led me to a huge stigma against that stuff for a few years, until eventually when I turned like, 11, they said I was old enough to decide what to watch, as long as it wasn't gory or nasty.

Weirdly enough, they loved Samurai Jack so much that they would let me watch it whenever I wanted. Yet, the 2003 Star Wars Clone Wars wasn't allowed.

>>92998661
>Ed Edd n' Eddy
My dad threatened me with groundings if I was caught watching that show. He thought it would affect my grades.

My mother banned me from watching Courage the Cowardly Dog. Do I even need to explain why?

My parents banned me from watching The Simpsons for roughly 5-6 years starting with the Flaming Moe episode. They did *not* forbid me from watching practically anything else (and then i discovered nudity in cartoons via Ranma 1/2, so whoops~) with the caveat that they refused to allow me to buy any South park related merchandise during my teens (watching the show was okay.)

Honestly, they were pretty chill otherwise, considering Brave Star's anti drug episode put me in tears (the kid OD's in it) and they didn't ban that from me.

It was more fucking annoying when my asshole college roomate tried to ban me from watching South Park though. Shithead refused to brook it yet he verbally abused his girlfriend.

>>92998661
Only adult cartoons and "gross" stuff like Ren and Stimpy and Mega Babies.
Yet mom was perfectly fine with me watching violent and sexual anime tapes.

>>92998661
Parents didnt let me watch any shows with a female main character

>>92999049

Good, the card game is filled with shitty people.

My parents forbade me from watching South Park because they didn't want my little sisters seeing it. They didn't like Ed, Edd, n Eddy because it was "mean spirited," but let me watch it anyway.
I also recall having to show my dad Homestar Runner toons to prove that the content was kid-friendly.

When I was coming up, my mom was fairly easy going with what I could and couldn't watch, but the one thing she wouldn't budge on was The Simpsons' yearly Treehouse of Horror specials. It was the one hard-and-fast TV rule she had, every Halloween- my older brothers would get to stay up and watch the special, and I'd get sent to bed early.

Once, I snuck out of my room to watch anyway, mostly because I was curious about what I was missing. It was Treehouse of Horror V, the one with the Nightmare Cafeteria segment. I had nightmares for a week.

So really, I guess she was right.

>>92998661
Blogshit that slightly related to Comics and Cartoons is still blogshit, crawl back to your decrepit quarantine zone and proceed to kill yourself, /r9k/ancer

Catdog, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern life, Hey Arnold, Doug-- I guess just because it was around most of those other nicktoons --Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho (because after watching it I started using finger guns around the house and my mother carefully asked me where I learned the cool new trick) and Cow and Chicken weren't allowed.

Basically anything with gross out humor got banned, but I occasionally got away with watching some Toonami action shows by telling her I was waiting for Hamtaro to come on.

>>92998661

Fortunately my parents didnt liked me watching Anime so I never developed a taste for them except pokemon and stuff, but when they became newborn Christians even pokemon was a forbidden subject, I could still watch most cartoons, they just made lots of comments about Billy and mandy when it was on, but japanese stuff was hated, maybe this is why I have never fitted in Image Boards except for containment boards like this.

I did watched all dragon ball and dragonball z, i liked the action but I never got "enamored" with japanese culture 8 specially because Dragon Ball was full of chinesse shit instead) I manage to keep playing pokemon and fapping to the girls 8 I started to fap at 15 i was a loser by this point so whatevs Jesus you lost) and then I realized how much I liked cartoon girls for OTHER reasons, nowadays though I am more in to Shemales and traps.

Fuck, now that I remember I got punished by not watchign the Simpsons if I didnt went to those christfag lectures and activities for kids, basically some time of sunday school, and If I underperformed in a test or something.

I think they only liked older stuff like Hannah Barbera stuff, looney toons and tom and jerry. Everything else was stupid but they never banned me from watching anything.

Frankly, I find it weird so many parents here had a grudge against Eds. Some details were mean spirited, but I wasn't dumb as a brick, I sympathized with characters at times.

I've got a little bit of the opposite going on. My older brother loved the hell out of Pink Floyd's The Wall when we were kids, but I honestly found it disturbing for my kid self. I tried to tell my mom that I thought I really shouldn't be watching it, and said to her "it made me want to throw up" and when she asked for specifics, I didn't really at the time have the eloquence to say "there is a character that literally has an anus for a mouth, and children are ground into meat," so I instead told her "uh. because. there were naked people and, um, boobs?" and made an allusion to the scene where a prostitute jiggles her breasts a little. I guess I figured that was the kind of thing that parents would disapprove of and also could find words to express. My mom responded with "THAT bothered you??" like I was a fucking little idiot. I think it was the 1970s side of her upbringing that gave her almost no qualms about nudity in this situation. As an adult, I think The Wall is great and all, I just really didn't like it as a sensitive kid that didn't like scary talking butt judges.

My mom let my bro and I get away with watching a lot of stuff I think other parents wouldn't. As much as it probably bothered her, she let us rent Watership Down over and over because we thought that movie was the shit. Still do.

Strangely she strongly disapproved of South Park though, so I guess she drew a line somewhere. My brother had the South Park Movie soundtrack and at one point (unwisely) played the Uncle Fucker song for her to hear, and she flipped the fuck out and asked us if we even knew what the lyrics meant. Thinking back on it now, I did not.

I never knew why, but my parents were against me watching Rugrats.

Simpsons too, but that made sense.

>>92998661
ren & stimpy

yet for some reason my mom was fine with me watching kids in the hall, the show where grown men dressed up as hookers and made blowjob jokes.

I live in Catholic Spain, fresh out of a fascist dictatorship less then a century ago, which lasted over 40 years, and I've never heard of any kid being forbidden from watching any cartoons because they were satanic or anything like that.

My mom was surprisingly chill with most cartoons, she even loved Billy and Mandy and Courage. She only really banned the things that could've seriously rotted my brain, like reality TV. I think South Park was banned for me, too, but my brother was huge into it, so I still saw some anyway. Same with the reality TV, but with my older sister instead.

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE KIDS ARM ON THE LEFT

>>92998661
My parents didn't care about any of that. My mom likes scary movies so I ended up seeing the Alien movies at the age of like 5.

One of the movies I remember seeing was one about some kids who dug a hole to hell and it ended with the devil or some big ugly looking thing coming out of it and touching the kid's hand and an eyeball grew out of his palm and then he stabbed it with a shard of broken glass or some shit. That's the one that stuck with me.

Shit like the hunted mirror host thing Disney used to do every Halloween on their channel back in the mid 90s was more scary to me than any of those movies, but I was never not allowed to watch something unless I was in trouble for something.

>>92998661
My parents were weird.
Family Guy was OK until it got raunchier.
South Park was off the table.
Beavis and Butthead and (not /co/, but) Jackass were OK
American Dad was OK (But not Family Guy?)
I hid Adult Swim's originals from them.

But anything else on CN/Nick/Disney was fine. My dad actually loved Ed Edd n Eddy and Dexter.

i started dragon ball with this movie in vhs, kid goku was cute so my parents allowed me to keep watching

By the time they noticed the z violence it was already to late, i was around super vegito vs buu i already had a poster sticker album and games

However, my dad watched a billy and mandy commercial where billy lost the skin in his face, i wasn't allowed to watch it for a while

>>92998661

My Dad was hardly the worst father here, but he was all right letting me watch cartoons of any ilk so long as before I did so, I:

1. Did my chores
2. Did my homework.
3. That's about it
4. Didn't stay up past 10.

He even let me watch Spawn The Animated Series.

He was very vocal about me being on the family computer so much back then, as was my mom.

I got to watch pretty much whatever I wanted, although my mom didn't watch a lot of TV.

She bought a Robot Chicken DVD for me when I was in 3rd grade because she didn't know what it was but heard that I liked it. I got yelled at when she walked in on a humping robot skit, but let me keep the DVD anyways.

The only shows I wasn't aloud to watch was later night adult-swim shows (TV-MA and such) and south park. Other than that I was aloud to watch pretty much anything.

I don't remember if my parents or my brother or whoever wouldn't let me watch the shows on fox or adult swim growing up. Hell I avoided them altogether until fairly recently. I'm still kicking myself for not watching futurama sooner, shit's really good.

I remember my dad buying me the first season on South Park when I was 10. I snuck it over to my mate's place and we were watching it when his mom came in, literally did a "what WHat WHAT!" and got mad at me for bringing it XD

Honestly sounds like good parenting (maybe 5 is a little young), but sitting down with your kids and watching fucked up shit and just giving some context instead of screaming "Don't watch!!"

My mom tried to ban the Simpsons in our house after the Homer vs. George Bush episode.

Who else's mom in the 90's went through a phase where they were ridiculously strict about what they let you watch all of a sudden because of something someone on a morning talk show said?

All I know is that all of a sudden we weren't allowed to watch Dragonball Z, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, or any other shows with "fighting".

Our dad let us watch the Simpsons on the one night a week she wasn't home, because he liked it and didn't see the harm in it, but she didn't think it was appropriate. So all those other "violent" shows with "fighting" had to actually air at a time she wasn't home for us to watch it. She didn't know we watched Ren and Stimpy at our grandma's. Hell if she paid attention to Rocko's Modern Life she would have banned it too.

There were a few cartoon movies too. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I never saw until I was in college. Between the ages of 6 and 11 I was obsessed with Halloween, but wasn't allowed to see Nightmare Before Christmas because my mom didn't like Jesus's birthday being mixed with skeletons and the creepy undead things. I didn't get around to finally seeing it until high school.

She got over it eventually. My youngest brother got away with watching anything he wanted, including family guy.

I think she learned her lesson about listening to media people about what was appropriate for kids when everyone was telling her Harry Potter was the devil and she read the book herself to check and became hooked.

>>92998661
Beavis and Butthead when it first started airing in 93' basically all of MTV before long I was able to watch liquid television (The Head, The Maxx) and it didn't matter at that point

My parents never gave a shit, i had a tv in my room by the time i was seven years old. I was always watching cartoon, playing with my toys or having fun playing vidya instead.

That is as long as i did my homework and got myself a good night of sleep, they were pinchy about that unless it was summer time. I could stay up until the sun went down so i could watch some shit like Quads!, south park, ren and stimpy or whatever i felt like as long as i made sure they didn't know it was those shows because i knew they'd just take away the tv

>>92998661
just about every adult cartoon. Family guy, American dad, south park etc except for Simpsons.

I had the kind of parents who whenever spotted me watching something inappropiate they'd say:
>Anon, I don't like what you're watching
>Anon, I don't think that's appropriate for you
And then they'd just let me keep doing it. I think that's one of the reasons I'm closer now to becoming a NEET than I've ever been.

>>92998661
I remember visiting my friend and his dad saying Chuckie was on, but my mother wouldn't let me watch it. I had initially thought he meant Rugrats.

My father loved Ren & Stimpy and still quotes it at me to this day. I can't think of anything my parents banned, if anything they went the other way- I remember one time when my father pulled out his Heavy Metal magazines and showed me a few of the choice comics from it.

>>93009572
Christ. Our mom was a super conservative christian just didn't want us to become influenced by violent media or dirty jokes and had a strict idea of what constitutes a curseword (darn and dang were just as bad a damn).

But we never got shit like that. That's the difference between being conservative and pushing your political agenda on your kids.

Couldn't watch Adam's Family because it had black magic in it, couldn't watch Power Rangers because they thought I'd start punching kids on the playground, couldn't watch Casper cause they thought ghosts would scare me. The list goes on.

They also told me looking at porn would A) get the FBI to come arrest me and B) would turn me into a pedophile. They also "joked" they had cameras set up in secret places around the house to watch us. My childhood was kind of shit.

>>93001428

Same for me. No limits for cartoons/comics/mangos.


Movies, on the other hand...

>>93009835
We weren't allowed a lot of that just because it would make jesus sad, but they never tried any bullshit lies about cameras or the FBI, just bullshit they actually believed.

I mean a lot of parents were worried about the effect of violent cartoons on kids and all kinds of talk shows and magazines for moms warned about power rangers and dragonball z.

But even my super christian parents who worked at the church knew that the magic and shit in adams family wasn't even accurate with actual occult shit and believed us viewing that kind of thing as fiction was healthy. When all other parents were worried about pokemon because it had psychics and shit, my parents decided it was just silly fantasy and knew we would know that. Same with Harry Potter.

I mean my mom was squeamish about some Tim Burton style stuff, but that was mostly her own pet peeves. She didn't believe the devil actually had anything to do with it.

>>93008558

I could go on a long ass rant about all the stuff my parents did to fuck my siblings and I up, but I came here to laugh not contemplate the eternal pain of my abusive childhood.

I hope all these parents know that what they're doing is causing their kids to get bullied.

I remember in primary school we gave a girl endless shit because she wasn't allowed to watch Sesame Street because it had monsters in it.

And it's not just religious parents either. For a school christmas play our class had spent ages practicing a song about Jesus. Then one of the kids mum's who was super atheist complained and we had to do another song. We only had like a week of practice with the new song before we had to perform it.
We gave that kid endless shit over that as well.

>>92998661
My parents never really cared what I watched as long as it wasn't blatantly horrible, so no aqua teen or squidbillies for me until I was in high school.
That may not have been a good thing because Tenchi Muya came on Toonami when I was in grade school, almost middle school, and I was very confused

They let me watch everything. Even Ranma 1/2.

>>93010235
There was one mom at our church when I was a kid who didn't let her kids watch Pinkie and The Brain because "they're trying to rule the world and only god rules the world."

I told the story of hearing that to our pastor years later and he said "yeah that woman was nuts."

With the exception of really weird spikes of sudden strictness and only being allowed to watch like two channels, my parents were pretty relaxed, but I remember my mom talking about her parents never letting her watch the Jetsons for some reason.

>>93004821

I've never told this story to anyone outside of my family, so you must be thinking of someone else.

Sounds like she was conflicted over having strict parents too. A lot of parents seemed to fall for the latest trends in "things that will negatively influence your kids" dished out by the media every day. They'll let you watch a show up until a morning talk show says it's bad, then they'll get over it a year later.

My grandpa told me about a mentality in the small town he grew up in where all movies were filled with finful temptation, and so teens would sneak out of town and drove a couple hours to go see movies and drink, because drinking was also evil. But if jesus came back while you were in a movie theater he'd just leave you there.

So that gives a bit of perspective. I don't think parents give a shit at all these days. They can't stop their kids on youtube so they just do actual parenting instead of only banning things.

>>93010353
I got that fetish and didn't even know about that show until I was 20. I have no idea where it came from. I can pin other fetishes on specific media and tropes from cartoons I've seen, but not that one.

Pfft. My mother was watching Urutsukidoji with me.

My best friends' mother though was a fucking freak. No Batman because he's too dark and scary. No Gargoyles because they're demons. No X-Men because they're violent. No anything with girls in skin-tight clothing/armor because SEX IS EVIL. And if she even THOUGHT he was watching Beavis & Butthead he'd get his ass whooped.

Note when these shows were popular? Back in the early 90's? He graduated at age 18 in 1993. First thing he did was join the Marines. First thing she did was tear through his bedroom looking for porn and stumbled across his Magic cards and comics, hidden behind a false wall within his closet that I helped build for him. Second thing she did was take all $30,000 worth of stuff and give it away to a comic shop down the street. He had a LOT of rare and signed shit.

HAD.

Because his mother was a pyscho turbo-cunt.

I remember not being allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead but not because of the show itself but because it was on MTV, a channel we didn't normally get, and my parents said if we tried to change it to that channel we'd get charged more in the TV bill.

>>93011465
I was 3 years old at the time and had no idea what a cable company even was. I just heard "It'll cost money we don't have if you try to watch this and I'll whoop your ass if you try it" so i never tried watching it.

Back then, I wasn't allowed to watch Ren and Stumpy, The Simpsons, and South Park because of adult humor, that and my parents are close-minded Christians back then, usually they don't let me to watch the Simpsons because of Ned Flanders character and how they make fun of him or something I dunno. I barely remembered watching the Simpsons when I was young. Now, my parents are open-minded with adult animated shows because they've watched comedy sitcoms that has adult humor.

>tfw parents were permissive

>>92998661
Ed, Edd, and Eddy because they thought it was stupid. I almost wasn't able to watch Billy and Mandy because it dealt with death but I was somehow able to convince them they weren't talking about death

None because my parents aren't puritans

My dad just made a sport of judging me for literally everything. I just basically gave up on the idea of sharing my thoughts or opinions with him when I was about 12.

My mom thought Ed Edd and Eddy was dumb and didn't let me watch it.

>>92998661
My parents banned me from watching the Simpsons because my mom watched an episode where Lisa trashed her room and she thought it would be a bad influence. The first episode I saw was that one where Bart is a healer and that football players leg flies off (made me sick when I saw it because I was young)

She also tried to watch an episode of South Park but turned it on during the wrap up speech of "Butter's own episode" right when the Dad said "and I've learned to stop having random sex with gay men"

Everything, because cable tv makes you dumb and they can't have a moron for a son, it's bad for their reputation

If I were a parent, my main problem with TTG would be that it teaches kids shitty messages that they're too young and inexperienced in life to understand that's it's supposed to be ironic/a joke, so I don't really know if I would if they were like under the age of 6 or so. But then again I'm not a complete retard who thinks kids learn everything from one single TV show in conflict with literally every other show on the air and in conflict with every message they learn in real life or think kids don't understand comedy so I'd probably let them watch it anyways.

Christian American parents in the 90s seem like such fucking shit-spewing retards holy fucking shit, I legitimately thought all those people I'd see on TV protesting Marilyn Manson, WWF and South Park and shit of the like back in the day were just a small albeit vocal minority.

Anyways to answer your question, when South Park first started airing I was about 4 or so and my cousins used to watch it with me. I remember my mum coming into the lounge saying "don't show that to anon! Turn something else on!" and standing there angrily for all of 10 seconds before she went outside to go smoke and then forgot all about it. Having white trash parents was pretty great like that.

Can confirm, I was bullied because of it. Worse part is is that I went to one of those Pre-K through 12th great school. So by the time I hit fifth grade, everyone kinda forgot why they bullied me, but they continued to anyway because at that point I was already the target. The stuff started to get less physical and more mental when I hit highschool, but it still sucked for me. (I've already told enough stories on /those/ years on here as is) Then whenever I got home I'd get called a worthless shit by my parents for not being as smart as my sisters. Couldn't even use fiction as a form of escapism because they had that shit on lock.

Those fuckers kept laughing, but they didn't know that this close from making the Colombine Masacre look like game of tag.

First time I actually watched it was when a substitute teacher played the episodes in art class one day...years after the show was over.
Still don't understand what my mom's issue was.

sounds like my mom except the catdog thing was mutual, I remember watching it once and turning to her and going like
"how do they poop?"
and she was just
"I don't know but it's disgusting"

I mean I still watched it but I have never gotten over that shit

I watched south park once and belted out GOD DAMNIT right in front of my parents and they flipped their shit

If you want to get an idea about protestant religious culture in america, you should listen to at least a part of this sermon. It's very famous and was a big part of the protestant "revival" in the english colonies at the time

>>92998661
Wasn't allowed to watch the Flintstones because it was "silly". I wasn't supposed to watch violent shows like Transformers and GI Joe, but I did anyway.

Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I believe the exact quote my mom overheard was "c'mon stab me in the forehead!" And that was the end of that.

>>93010847
My dad banned my brother (9 years old) from watching Amazing World of Gumball... for some reason, though, he let him watch Teen Titans Go even though it's not exactly that much more educational

I live in one of the most Christian states in American and grew up in a town that was 99% christian, yet I was never banned from watching anything. What the fuck is with you guys?

Kinda thinking /co/ is making shit up just for attention.

>>93009809
No wonder some Simpsons episodes get a TV-MA rating.

>>93016710
So do I. I come from a MUSLIM family and outside of "do your chores and homework before anything else" and "bed at 10", I don't think that I was banned from anything.

Fuck, man, I was allowed to watch Spawn TAS.

Except anime. My Mom and Dad caught me watching an episode of Ghost in the Shell and kept me from watching anime that wasn't Dragon Ball or Gundam Wing until I was 13.

>>92998661
My mom was was totally random.

One minute she's forbidding me from watching Ren & Stimpy or Bevis and Butthead, but Cool World, HeavY MetaL, Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Wicked City were all on the table.

Extreme sex and violence were ok, but a little gross-out humor was nope-nope-nope.

On the live action front, I was forbidden from seeing the likes of Firday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street, but she was fine with Aliens, Predator, The Terminator, Robocop, Basic Instinct, or the complete works of David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock.

And you better believe those distorted boundaries were everywhere.

The only show my mom didn't want me to watch was South Park, but at the same time she absolutely loved Family Guy and our whole family would watch that shit together.

>>93017013
Family Guy only became more violent and disgusting later on. Back then most episodes were rated PG while almost all South Park episodes are TV-MA.

>>92998722
>Spongebob was a conspiracy by the government to turn children gay
That one is true, though.

>>93016710

small towns are different from suburbia. Suburbs are full of soccer moms trying to control their children through religion; small towns are more laid-back.

>>93017020
The early seasons of Family Guy weren't as bad as the new ones, but I still think it's pretty comparable to South Park.

>>92998722

>Spongebob was a conspiracy by the government to turn children gay

And now we have people on this website saying the same thing about cartoons today

really makes you think

>>92999324
not if my kid was like, below the age of 8. TTG would probably give him a seizure or some shit

>>92998661

I can't think of anything that my parents forbid me from watching. My parents were pretty much of the opinion that "It's not like it can hurt them" when it came to the stuff my sisters and I saw.

Heck, I remember watching a bunch of stuff like Up the Creek and Caddyshack as a kid so even nudity wasn't a big deal, let alone grossout humor. I even remember seeing The Terminator when I was like six or seven years old though that was at a friend's house so it wasn't even just my parents; I still remember watching Arnie pop his eye out in that sink.

>>93017058
old Family Guy is as mild as a pussycat. new Family Guy is evil but shallow. it doesn't cover the vast range of taboo subjects that SP does. I'd rather my kid watch SP and develop a sense of humor and satire.

I'm reminded of in primary school, there was a new kid who said he wasn't allowed to watch Simpsons. Growing up in early 00's Australia, I was fucking baffled. Simpsons is like a cultural icon in australian suburbia because Channel 10 would air a random pre-s10 episode every night at 6
I remember autistically asking him about it all week because of how alien the concept of no simpsons was to me

>>93014263
>I legitimately thought all those people I'd see on TV protesting Marilyn Manson, WWF and South Park and shit of the like back in the day were just a small albeit vocal minority.

They were but the more outrageous shit you can put on your news show the higher ratings you get. So they focus on that vocal minority because of how crazy they seem.

Parents tried to keep me from The Simpsons but it was such an integral part of my life, they couldn't. I remember telling my mom when I was 5 about that I liked the show because it seemed really realistic for a cartoon.
>What an awful thing to say, they drink all the time and are mean and horrible to each other, real families aren't like that!
I hate my mom.

>>93016239
I wasn't allowed to watch Flintstones because it had dinosaurs and people in it, parents thought it'd turn me into some idiot that actually thought they lived at the same point in time. Not being allowed to watch anything but educational stuff sucked.

>>92998661
My parents pretty much didn't care about what I watch because my grades didn't suffer. Only thing I was not allowed to view was South Park, Family Guy and Simpsons. Luckily, they were for some reasons fine with Drawn Together or Happy Tree Friends.

And right now my sister isn't allowed to watch Totally Spies for some reasons.

>>93016985
That's just good taste, dude.

The only thing that was banned by my parents was an anime about a bear hound or something, I think it was Calder Silver? My parents found the dubbed voices to be torture which was the reason for the ban

>>93017220
>for some reasons.
you and I both know what those reasons are.

Your dad faps to TotallySpies porn and seeing his daughter watch his fap fuel makes him uncomfortable.
I'm actually speaking from experience here. You learn a lot about your parent when you find their porn folder

>>93009615
>>92998661
Basically this. As long as I didn't picked up any obscene lines or my grades went down, I was allowed to do what I wanted.

They didn't liked most of the shows, but aside from remembering it to me from time to time, they didn't really cared about what I watched.

>>93017259
problem is, my parents divorced a year after I moved out. And my sister is living with my mother.

South Park but it always came on way to late anyways.

The one thing I found weird was the show Forensic Files. not only was I like, 11 when that show came on but that was the only thing they ever banned us from watching and would freak out if we watched it. They still hate that we watch it. Never understood why cause nothing else ever bothered them and they love nu FG and south park.

>>92998661
pretty much the only times this happened were with South Park and King of The Hill, and they didn't enforce it too hard for either, mostly just that they'd make me or my brother change the channel if they saw we were watching either of those

>>92998722
>Dragon Ball was of the devil because they had aliens and aliens are just demons in disguise.

monkey magic she said it was to violent let us watch robotech tho

MTV favorite movie growing up was starship troopers.

I remember when Pokémon came out a TON of kids in my class weren't allowed to watch it. Mostly young girls who weren't interested in it anyways.

My parents just straight up didn't give a duck. They thought cow and chicken was hilarious though.

Holy shit, this thread is full of shitty parents. I had no idea someone would ever "forbid" to watch stuff on TV to their kids.

Nah. i was allowed to watch whatever. My parents don't believe in gods or demons. My dad was happy when I started watching Simpsons because he liked the show himself and thought it was much better than the cartoons I usually watched.

>>93003556
>Then one day I joined the Sailor Moon fan club and she went absolutely mental.
Can't say I blame her

>>93004084
I mean, when you're sheltered you instinctively want to delve into the medium that was barred from you as a kid.

Couldn't play Pokemon as a kid, but when I moved out the first thing I did was buy a DS and Pokemon Diamond.

4chan is often shat on, and called "evil", so it makes you want to check the site out to see if the claims are true.

My parents wouldn't let me watch Ren and Stimpy growing up, but that was about it.

None in particular. I'm from Canada (Quebec) and our rating system for movies/tv shows/cartoons is way less strict than than the MPAA and TVPG. My parents were open-minded, unlike those in America.

>>92998722
Thank God I'm mot 'Murican...

>>92998661
My parents were open-minded and loose, they still cared about ratings but they gave little concern about what I was allowed to watch unless it's rated R/TV-MA or a video game that's rated M.

I was allowed to watch anything that was rated PG-13/TV-14 and below when I was a kid as well as being allowed to play any game that was rated T and below, but my parents treated it with a case-by-case basis if it's rated R/TV-MA or a game that was rated M.
For example, I wasn't allowed to watch Pulp Fiction, Halloween and Scream but I was allowed to watch movies that they consider okay for me like The Matrix and Blade Runner.
I also wasn't allowed to play Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 at the time but Parasite Eve and Metal Gear Solid were considered okay for me.

When I turned 13, they allowed me to watch anything but I should still have them around when I go to the cinema if I'm going to watch an R-rated movie because the cinema won't allow anyone under 17 without a parent.
I still sneaked into some R-rated movies without my parents, though, and I was allowed to watch R-rated movies on my own on DVD, VHS, LaserDisc or TV.
And M-rated games as well as TV-MA shows are okay for me at that age.
And I was allowed to go to the cinema on my own as a kid and as a teenager if the movie is rated PG-13 or below.

I had a pretty fun and nice childhood.

My parents refuse let me watch Todd McFarlane's Spawn, because of the women had boobs and they said no.

>>92998661
My mom wouldnt let me watch Butt Ugly Martians becuase she said I could do better.
Looking back on it Im happy she neverlet me watch it.

My parents banned Ed, Edd, n' Eddy when my brother and I got into fights with other kids in school all the time. All the way until we graduated we were the only white kids in our district, and constantly picked on and pushed around for it.

I appreciate that my dad tried to make me a better person, but he was pretty misguided and never considered we were getting bullied.

My parents were pretty okay with anything that wasn't south park mostly because of the homosexual jokes. But for the most part they were more worried about the video games.

Take for example my mom had no problem with GTA 3 after she watched me play it for a bit because she wanted me to show her the infamous hooker sex scandal. When I showed it to her, she pretty much laughed and asked me what the big deal was, it didn't even show anything.

Another example is she refused to buy me devil may cry and instead got me lord of the Rings the two towers. Everything turned out better then expected.

>all these parents who didn't want you to watch EE&E
Bunch of shovel-chins

I'm French so my parents didn't really give a fuck about what I was watching/reading.
I remember sitting with my father and both of my brothers watching older Looney Tunes shorts, or reading comics like Blueberry and Titeuf. Good memories.
However, I do remember my mother putting parental controls on Cartoon Network, because my aspie older brother kept fucking quoting everything he found funny nonstop.
Like when we were eating dinner, he would suddenly yell "JAWBREAKERS" in Eddy's voice, which drove my mother nuts and she claimed that TV was unhealthy for him, thus blocking the whole network for a while.

Me and my younger brother were pissed, since we couldn't watch our favorite shows anymore, so we bullied him a lot about it. Even go as far to make fun of his autism and laugh at his "retardedness."
Tfw years later I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia. Now I'm the retard.

Catholics don't think every story every fucking verse in the Bible is a law, they stick to the 10 comandments and traditions, and the Bible stories are just to learn a big "lesson of life" over all.

Still a step above soccer moms who send mail to networks instead of regulating what their spawn watches though.

>>93014263
My father is a Southern Baptist pastor.
Growing up the only thing I wasn't allowed to watch was Beavis &Butthead and then South Park, or anything else more adult geared. But even that slacked off once I got into my mid teens.

I mean I had every single He-Man figure, which were monstrous as all hell and by the time I was a teenager I had tons of dragons all over my room. Dragons dragons dragons. Looked like a Spenser's exploded in my room.

They never really put a limit on those things. We got to rent so many R rated films and horror movies from Blockbuster. They watched all sorts of stuff with us, from Conan to SGCC, probably because they actually spent the time with us.

Eh my parents really didnt outlaw anything in my home while I grew up, but I do remember my dad trying to get me into more adult anime while I was watching pokemon, digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh (He isn't a fan of pokemon but he kinda likes digimon due to it having a more adult friendly plot and better characterization) But he would show me some Neon Genesis Evangelion, introduce me to Miyazaki and some old mech animes like Macross. Oh and I almost forgot about watching Ryu the Primitive Boy, COBRA and Silver Fang, so yeah he kinda introduced me to lots of old school anime. I feel bad for many of you on this thread, must have sucked for ya.

My parents bought me and my brother two cartoon movies with really cool covers from a discount store. We started to watch one of them, had a guy with a gun for an arm (think he covered it with a prosthetic hand tough) and some girl with a tattoo that got sniped (by her twin sister?) and died in the first scene. Afterwards he went to a strip club or something (I think he killed some armed strippers), that was when my mother walked in. She really didn't think this movie was appropriate for two boys aged four and six. Could anyone tell me what movie it was? I've been searching for years. I don't think it was an anime. Western Style no doubt.

Reading the synopsis of episode five this gotta be the one I saw

"Cobra and Catherine head towards the Turtle, but a masked female sniper opens fire on them. During the pursuit, then find an abandoned village. Cobra acts as a decoy to allow Catherine to find shelter. The sniper is revealed to be remotely controlled by Tarvage, in the employ of Crystal Boy. When almost at the Turtle, Catherine is shot and Cobra goes for help. He gets trapped in a mine, but finds a rock-melting machine and attacks the sniper. He disarms and unmasks her, and is surprised to see that it's Jane Royal, Catherine's sister, although she does not seem to be fully in control. She draws a gun and Cobra shots her."

It feels kinda strange having all these visual memories from 20 years ago, and most of them being correct to boot. I did not yet know English by that time though so I had to figure out the story line together with my bro.

>>93024054
My mom hated Two Stupid Dogs too for some reason. It's not even violent or anything.

My childhood nanny was a fundie with weirdly specific reasons for banning cartoons. Pokémon was bad because it featured evolution and because the mons only fainted and never died. (Immortality and healing are only for God, I think was the rationale.) The ban was only while she was watching us; it didn't extend to our parents.
Parents meanwhile were actually very cool and reasonable. They even let us watch things they didn't like or agree with -- like Captain Planet or "SpongeBob StupidPants" -- albeit with teasing us about them. I respect them wanting us to make up our own minds about stories being crap. We watched The Simpsons as a family, and some of my best memories of being a kid are the Saturday afternoons we forced Dad to hang out with us for half an hour to watch The Batman.

My mom wouldn't let me watch Ed Edd n Eddy because she thought they were rude.

I also couldn't watch Billy and Mandy for some reason I don't remember, and then I wasn't allowed to watch Codename: Kids Next Door because my parents thought it encouraged disrespect towards adults.

My dad wouldn't let me watch caillou because he thought caillou made kids act like, in his words, "little bitches"
He also didn't like teletubies because the purple one was a "faggot" also his words.
