What shows were OFF LIMITS and why as a kid /co/?
i wasn't supposed to watch:
-angry beavers
-johnny bravo
-rocko's modern life
-cow and chicken
-the simpsons
"because i said so"
>>77875365
>>77875466
Where did you two grow up, Nazi Germany?
>>77875365
Animation wise I can only think of South Park as a show I couldn't watch
Any parent that limits the shows a child can watch when said shows are MADE for children is a fucking cunt.
>>77875365
I couldn't watch Celebrity Deathmatch for obvious reasons.
Beavis and Butthead were off limits because my mom didn't want me to become stupid like them.
Ed, Edd and Eddy.
And I think RML.
you guys had fucking weird parents
i can understand not letting your kids watch hard sexy or gory shit, or even foul language, but stuff specifically aimed at kids?
>>77875365
Simpsons
South Park
Drawn Together
Just South Park.
I got to watch it when I went to my grandmas.
My mom let me watch Heavy Metal when I was 10.
>>77875365
Ed, Edd n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog
I think that was about all.
mum banned me from playing streets of rage but she was fine with me watching dragon ball z
was she dumb?

Dr. XXXLarge, I'm KND
>>77875607
Yes. All of your parents were fucking dumb including my own.
All parents are fucking idiots.
>>77875365
>Couldn't watch Beavis and Butt-head as a kid because they cursed
>Tfw I still watched it with the volume super low and a blanket to cover the light from the TV
>>77875632
I hear you, man. It's the reason why some of us barley had any good childhood memories of TV.
>>77875596
Are you ok?
All of them.My parents usually left my older sister in charge, and she was a huge bitch.
>>77875538
>>77875587
Those, but that is fully justified
My mom got REALLY mad at the George Bush Sr. episode of the Simpsons that we weren't allowed to watch it for like a month.
Married with Children was off limits for obvious reasons.
Oh, and she got really upset with Batman Beyond cause my younger sister had no radar on what to watch with her. It was the episode where the clown gang stole the tank.
>>77875574
I think their parents thought KnD taught kids to be disrespectful of adults when funnily enough 1-5's parents are pretty cool and respectable characters.
If anything it teaches kids not to trust ugly looking strangers.
>>77875613
Most shows we were allowed to watch. KND was off limits for some reason, I think it had to do with the violence in show, kids vs kids and what not. Dad and mom generally hated anything I watched or played but Dad did like Samurai Jack.
>>77875365
Ren and Stimpy
2 stupid dogs
Beavis and Butthead
Rocko's modern life
>>77875695
>not allowed to watch any of the cartoons
That's a nightmare scenario, man. I feel bad for you.
My parents tried to stop me and my brother from watching DBZ because they thought it made us 'too violent'. We asked our dad to sit and watch an episode with us, and it just so happened to be a boring one with no fighting (something centered around Gohan) and he got too bored, left, and didnt mention it again.
>>77875705
that kinda teacup dictator bullshit is exactly why the kids next door show depicts adults as some omnipresent enemy, ironically
South Park for obvious reasons
>>77875695
>inb4 someone takes this post and makes the thread about /ss/ sibling-incest somehow
>>77875706
My parents wouldn't let me watch most shows that had swearing when I was a kid, but whenever they got pissed, they would swear like sailors
Never got that. Senpai ily, what are you going to do?
>Ren & Stimpy
>Beavis & Butthead
>Celebrity Deathmatch
Strangely, anything else was a-ok.
>>77875365
Only thing off-limits was porn. Ma would watch a new show with me to make sure I understood its themes, knew what was acceptable on a TV show and wasn't acceptable in reality, et cetera, and would make sure I understood shit that went over my head when presented as-is.
Iunno what your folks were thinking.
I wasn't allowed to watch Power Rangers, but Batman Beyond was okay
>>77875665
I did this with Family Guy as an early teen, but more because it was on when I was supposed to be asleep.I used to pause any 'hot' scenes and jerk off to them.I'm not proud.
The only things I couldn't was South Park and the sex scene in Joe Dirt, but that ended when I was 12 or 13.
My parents were always pretty cool about violence and potty humor in cartoons.
>>77875365
>>77875695
>>77875705
>>77875706
You weren't allowed to watch KnD becausethey didn't want you to be recruited.
>>77875365
>Banned for adult content
Beavis and Butthead
The Critic
Spawn
South Park
Family Guy
>Banned because my dad thought it was ugly
Rugrats
Cow and Chicken
Ren and Stimpy
Eek the cat
Just about anything else on Nickelodeon
>Banned because my dad hated Christian stuff
McGee and Me
Veggie Tales
I really wanted to get into Veggie Tales when I was a kid. Then I watched it as an adult and found out that I wasn't missing out on much.
My parents didn't care.
My dad refused to let me watch Family Guy, but he encourages me to watch the Boondocks. He didn’t care about the material, just so long as he thought the show was funny.
>>77875942
To be fair, he was right about those shows being ugly.
My parents didn't let me watch Pokemon or YuGiOh because they were Christians and didn't want me to be possessed by demons.
>>77875739
Thanks, but it's not so bad. I did eventually get to watch cartoons before I was too old, and I was allowed to spend most of my time drawing.
>>77875942
Your dad sounds like a huge faggot
>>77875365
I remember my mom not letting me or my sister watch Pepper Ann, still don't know why
Also my mom didn't like Ed, Ed, and Eddy, she though their tongues were gross in the intro.
>>77875942
>Just about anything else on Nickelodeon
The same went for Hey Arnold, right?
>>77875991
On a scale of one to insane, how Christian were they?
Uh... none?
I mean, we could watch Robocop and horror movies as kids.
But I'm not american, so I guess it doesn't count. We don't have that inherent censorship culture.
None, really.
>>77876028
>Pepper Ann
I was going to say "she was protecting you from developing poor taste" but then you said she didn't like Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
>>77875365
My current friend wasn't allowed to watch Ed, ed and Eddy. I also had a friend who wasn't allowed to watch spongebob.
Shit was weird.
>tfw 6
>had to always hide when watching dbz
>always talked with older kids on bus about dbz
holy fuck, it's scary to think that was 15 years ago when it aired on toonami. And dbz is much, much older than that in japan.
other than this, during 6th grade my parents didn't want me watching south park but I saw it all online anyways
>>77876061
She let me watch EEaE she was just repulsed by it.
I remember they told me never to watch South Park so I went and watched the entirety of South Park because I was a cool kid.
That's about it.
>>77875365
>Today /co/ actually made an actually interesting thread.
I've always thought about shit like this, and why some parents wouldn't let their children watch certain shows. Just seems pointless to kids, cause they're going to watch it one way or another.
>>77876043
Insane.
My mom didn't want me to watch Ed, Edd, n Eddy. "Because it looks gross".
>>77875942
>dad thought it was ugly
Just a shot in the dark, is your dad Hispanic?
>>77876131
I suppose they were also the kind who mention Jesus more that 700 times during a two-minute conversation, right?
>>77875365
Pokemon
Yu-Ghi-Oh
anything too violent they would tell me is not good but i'd watch it in secret
they dont care now, cuz im old i guess
I wasn't allowed to watch Grim Adventures and EEnE. My older brothers couldn't watch Ren and Stimpy.
Of course we still watched them.
>>77876131
Spin us a yarn or two about your crazy parents, anon.
>>77876156
my dad didnt want me watching it because he felt it was juvenile
Any remotely action-related show except for Aladdin, since it was Disney so it must be fine.
Also Animaniacs because there was occasionally some slight innuendo.
I couldn't watch EEnE because I ate a bug once and I'm pretty sure I got the idea from an EEnE episode
>All these parents not letting their kids watch shows "because they're ugly"
How shit can your parents ban a show based on that merit? Did they also not let you talk to ugly kids?
I wasn't allowed to watch South Park. I went to a friend's house and watched it instead. I got a crush on Wendy when she killed that teacher over Stan.
I had a thing for aggressive girls.
>>77876346
I once tried mowing the grass with my teeth like Ed.
>>77875365
Courage and Flapjack were looked down upon for pretty obvious reasons, but my sister and I got away with it anyway.
Chinese cartoons in the Toonami block usually got axed, but we still were able to watch Zatch Bell and DBZ. Ones like Bo-BoBoBo were considered too weird and were part of the off-limits group. Being too surreal was the case for a lot of off-limits stuff.
>>77876251
>>77876197
I was in church everyday of the week except Saturday, which wasn't exclusive to going to another church to participate in their services. Sunday also had 2 services. Christian music blaring in the house, constant questions about am I keeping my life on track for God, etc. Pretty much drilling the whole Christianity schtick into me while I lived there.
There was one time where a girl stayed over who was a friend of my mom. I was told to sleep on the couch that night. Late into the night she woke up and asked for me just to sleep in the [my] room with her because she just felt uncomfortable. Parents woke up and saw me in the bed with her and were furious. Wouldn't let me or her explain a thing.
>>77876346
Your parents SERIOUSLY blamed E,EnE for the inhuman and vile act of eating an insect?
Sounds like they thought you were the only kid in history to do that.
>>77875587
Are you me?
Rugrats, when I was 7. They thought Angelica would be a bad influence on us.
Catdog later on. Because, well, Catdog.
Ren and Stimpy. I've literally never seen a full episode. I caught the tail end of the one where Ren gets a muscle transplant from Stimpy's butt.
Oh, and the Simpsons. Watched that shit on the down low for a month before I accidentally mentioned it at the dinner table.
Surprisingly enough, stuff like Gundam and post-Zeo Power Rangers weren't trouble. I guess that's just how America rolls?
>>77876473
That can be very dangerous.
I remember I wasn't allowed to watch power rangers when I was a kid (like 7-11 years old), my parents said it was because it was too violent and yet every weekend we went to my grandad's and watched horror films and shit like terminator, never made sense to me. So I called them out on it recently, they said it was because it was shit. Joke's on them, I watched it after school at my buddy's place. It was shit though.
>>77876433
I cant imagine going to church 6 or 7 days a week. So with that kind of upbringing, how do you feel you turned out as a person? Would you raise your kids that way?
>>77876512
Angelica did nothing wrong.
>>77876433
How nightmarish. Could you feel the free air when you got out of there?
South Park.
Now we watch it both together, life is beautiful.
The only stuff my parent actively forbid me from watching as a kid was South Park.
Other than that, they really didnt give a crap.
I had to watch anime privately after I discovered my parents HATED japanese animation. Dad thinks anime gives kids bad ideas.
>tfw you still have to watch anime privately.
>>77875705
But most child abductions and assaults are done by parents. If anything, they should trust strangers more than their own parents. The uglier looking, the better.
>>77875365
Ed Edd and Eddy
but probably because it looked gross
and even then, she really didn't care after like a couple months, despite the fact I never really watched it for 2 years
>>77876513
Sure, but if the insect in question was something like a black beetle, then no harm would be dome
My mom never let me watch Billy and Mandy because she said it made her sick.
>>77876473
>the inhuman and vile act of eating an insect
>>77876513
>That can be very dangerous.
You do realize eating insects is extremely common in other cultures, right?
Heck it's likely going to be a much bigger thing in western cultures like yours, due to farming insects being much cheaper and environmentally friendly.
>>77875365
Ed, Edd and Eddy.
My mum hated how loud and crass it was and didn't like how mean the characters were to one another.
>>77876542
I feel I turned out okay. My parents are somewhat better about that shit too.They divorced.I wouldn't raise my kids like that though.
>>77876563
I joined the military right after graduating so instead of church 24/7 instead I got nonstop yelling. It felt refreshing as fuck after all of that though.
>>77875991
Top kek, when pokemon became popular the pastor at my church said because it had animals fighting and throwing acid at each other that kids that watched it would start underground dog-fighting rings and learn about biological warfare and throw acid on each other and stick each other with dirty needles.
>>77876770
Hate to say this, but isn't marriage a lifelong commitment in the Christian church? So why did they divorce, if you dont mind me asking?
(Your life sounds really interesting, I'd read a book about it.)
>>77876433Did you fuck?
Also, hows your relationship with your parents today?
I could watch everything besides Adult Swim. Even then, when I turned 11 they gave me free reign to watch whatever I wanted.That same year, me and my dad watched Jackass 2 together and my mom complained the entire time.
Nothing.
>>77876823
> start underground dog-fighting rings
> throw acid on each other
> stick each other with dirty needles
You mean you didnt do this???
>>77875365
Of shows that were meant for kids? Only Courage the Cowardly dog, and for a good reason. That King Ramses episode gave my little brother nightmares.
She didn't like us watching Simpsons and King of the Hill but didn't turn it off. She didn't let us watch Family Guy, South Park, etc. and that makes sense.
>>77876828
Many Christian practices are viewed as "suggestions".
I couldn't watch any of the Power Rangers or The Simpsons. Back then we only had the standard channels anyways, 6, 10, 13, 23, and 45. Bet none of you niggas remember those days.
>>77875365
A friend told me he wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon as a kid because his mom said he was only allowed to watch one "Chinese cartoon" so he picked DBZ.
>>77876940
>local channels only
That was my life up until 2009, nigguh.
GI Joe.
"It promotes war."
>>77876971
>protecting her son from becoming a weeb
Based mom
>>77876823
Yeah, pastor at my church had several sermons about it. Something about "letting the demons in your home" or similar.
>>77876828
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what it says in the BIBLE. I don't really know the REAL meaning why they divorced because I was in military training during it.
>>77876836
No. She had really nice tits though. I'm cool with them still. They aren't nearly as pushy about religion as they used to be, Dad just asks that I go to church with him sometimes when I visit.They're both remarried.
>>77876828
The bible says the only reason that's excusable for divorce is if you catch the wife cheating on you. And ideally you should forgive her.
I feel bad for kids with parents like his. My whole family on my mom's side is super religious and when I was a kid I went to church 3 times a week sometimes (twice on sunday, once on wednesday.) And on wednesday, we spent maybe 20 minutes talking about God and like 1 hour playing and learning about camping and shit.
>>77877068
But now you know better, Boco.
Sometimes war is necessary.
Sometimes you need to fight.
>>77876053
same
>>77876823
I'm pretty sure someone at my church was saying similar things to that and my parents basically laughed at them and said "yeah, okay."
>>77875365
Ed Edd and Eddy
South Park
Ren and Stimpy and anything on adult swim was totally fine though
>>77877138
And knowing is half the battle.
>>77877138
SHUT
UP.
>>77875365
My mom tried her damndest to block out Cartoon Network, because she felt it would rot my brain. I wouldn't have a problem with it if she wasn't so damndest lax about it when it came to shit like Family Guy, Robot Chicken, or the Simpsons. I didn't even LIKE adult swim all that much, I just wanted to watch Billy and Mandy and Pokémon, dammit!
>>77875365
One show my parents didn't allow me or my brothers to watch was Power Rangers. They were pretty lenient towards cartoons that weren't South Park, so I had to wait until 1 AM when they were asleep to watch it.
I don't remember any show being forbidden for me, but my six yr old step sister is or was forbidden to watch
>Star Wars 4-6
>Superman and Batman TAS
>Dragon Ball (not Z)
>Power Rangers
We managed to get Superman and Batman lifted and she loves it. We watched Power Rangers and Dragon Ball together and she loved it also.
She also watched Narnia and loved it, and then her mom learned about it and got mad.
>>77875365
Dad: Anything that was TV14 or MA
Mom: Literally didn't care
>>77877307
Wait she can't watch the original star wars trilogy? But she can watch the new ones?
And she's not allowed to watch the Narnia movies? The movies that are blatant allusions to the bible?
>>77876852
Ever seen CKY?
>>77877287
Why do you fight it, Boco?
You are the final piece.
End this charade and follow your destiny.
>>77876433
They're doing faith wrong. Whatever happened to the girl, and you for that matter?
I couldn't watch Rugrats because Angelica was a bad role model. That got lifted, then it got banned again because the doctor's name was Lipshitz,
>>77877376
She can't watch any star wars that isn't a cartoon.
And basically her mom is against anything that has a little violence in it. My sister though, craves it. Precisely because she can't have any.
One night after the blocus against Batman was lifted, I walked in on her watching the Beyond movie. The Robin torture scene fucked me up. She didn't bat an eye. She liked the movie and just carried on with her life.
She also fucking loved Narnia and cried a lot when her mom said she wasn't allowed to watch the Luke movies.
>>77877376
It also seems weird to me that she can't watch Dragon Ball, but she can watch DBZ. I don't know much about those shows, but I do know that DBZ is much more violent than DB.
>>77877466
Oh no the "not Z" is because Z was out of the question.
I showed her the Dragon Ball OVAs to make up for the lack of Star Wars. She asked me to play them again once they were over.
Z is for later.
>>77875909
They didn't want you to learn the truth.
>>77877233
and the other half?
>>77876053
yup same here
>>77877635
Violence.
I was only banned from watching Adult Swim and that was just because of profanity
>>77875574
My cousin wasn't allowed to watch pic related
I wasn't allowed Sunny D (this was before they reformed to cut all the additives out)
Parents are weird
>>77877635
Transforming our internet personas into a sentient being to take down the normie scum.
All he has to do is join.
>>77875942
Your dad is a degenerate.
>>77875365
The only thing that was off limits was general anime shit
>watching toonami latenight with brother
>mom comes in
>casually glances at tv just as some commercial for later night anime comes on
>this later night anime has big boobed bikinis for some reason
>mom is like "no change the channel!"
>change it than change it back
>still that anime style
>so mom is sure it's the same show
>all anime is that same one anime to her
Otherwise I'd watch fucking southpark and ren and stimpy and all kinds of wildly inappropriate shit with no consequence. Plus just whatever horror movies.
Oh and for a while I wasn't allowed to watch forensic files or unsolved mysteries kinda shows cause I'd get glued to them and then freak out at night that a serial killer was out there still and gonna kill me and I'd talk about weird dark shit all the time.
Tom and Jerry is the only one my folks were against me watching. I'd guess because a lot of the time the humor was only from violence.
>>77875365
I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was 11probably because I mooned a teacher when I was 4
>>77877829
I didnt like CT back then, and looking at it now, Wayne looked too much of a creep, the kind of guy that ends up shooting a school.
Just the Simpsons, South Park and Beavis and Butthead.
You know, the ones I probably shouldn't have watched as a 5 year old anyway.
ed edd n eddy
my parents were worried I'd become a delinquent who smoked weed and (god forbid) called people "dorks"
>>77877890
So all you're saying is that you knew that chucky wasn't real, but that serial killers were and potentially could murder you.
That's just a good grasp of reality anon.
>>77875365
It took a while to convince my mom to let me watch The Simpsons.
nowadays she doesn't mind a rerun of that or Futurama.
I was banned from:
Beavis and Butthead
2 Stupid Dogs
Ren and Stimpy
and for some strange reason
Calvin and Hobbes
South Park, right after watching the premier with my family
I wasn't allowed to watch The Rugrats because "they never grew up" ironically enough totally allowed to watch South Park, a show where they never truly grow up (excluding when they went from the 3rd grade to 4th grade but at this point South Park was still in its infancy) then they did Rugrats All Grown Up several years later and just remembered the bitter sweet feelings I had
I wasn't allowed to watch Power Ranger o Dragon Ball Z. On dbz they told me "They are just bald men fighting each other, why would you watch that?"
>He-man
me and my brother would 'play he-man' and beat on each other. (after we forgot about the show it was just non He-man themed fighting)
>johnny bravo
my dad was afraid I would imitate him
>ren and stimpy
gross out humor offend my mom
>the simpsons
my mom hated it because it was 'disrespectful' (or George Bush told her it was bad, she didn't seem to have a problem watching the first few seasons as a family)
my dad hated it because he though it was bad to watch any show where the main male (homer) wasn't insanely successful, didn't want us to think being middle class was a choice.(and yet he still doesn't make a lot of money, easily below the poverty line)
and yet they let me watch x-files, millennium, and homicide: life on the streets.
simply baffling.
Honestly? I could watch whatever cartoon I wanted. Only South Park was on shaky ground.
>>77875365
I think i agree with your mother hating KND as much as i do.
>>77875365
The conspiracy is real.
>>77875827
Your Mom sounds awesome. My Mom got upset at shows that said "stupid" "shut up" or "butt".
I do not have many childhood TV memories.
>>77875365
-Ed, Edd, & Eddy
-Catdog
-Toonami
wasn't really my mom or dad, although my mom really didn't like Catdog. It was more my older sister that didn't let me watch them. She didn't think it was quality programming, but it was probably more that she wanted the TV.
>>77875365
I was not not allowed to watch any kind of anime because it was all big titty porn.
Years later I got into Kingdom Hearts playing at a friend's house, and bought the mangas.
My mother found the books and scolds me and shows my father how one of the characters isn't even wearing pant.
It was Donald fucking Duck.
>mfw
My mom HATED Courage the Cowardly Dog and EE&E, because they grossed her out, but she still let me watch them.
The only things I wasn't allowed to watch were "adult" cartoons like South Park, adult swim stuff, and (lol) The Simpsons
>>77875512
Nazi Germany was pretty nice, though.
>>77879241
You seem like a pretty boring person.
>>77879344
Did your dad call her a retard?
"Quirky" Asian girls are cancer.
Why does every Asian girl need to be quirky and cock-hungry or smart and cold?
>>77875365
here we go:
basically all of nicolodion
Dexter's Laboratory
Johny Bravo
the Simpsons
for some reason all of marvel action hour cartoons.
that's about it.
>>77879509Because those are the only two personality types Asian-American women exhibit IRL.
I know someone who wouldn't let her daughter watch Spongebob because it showed his underwear
I always wanted to watch the Simpsons. But since they said naughty words I wasn't allowed to. That's why I was so surprised when I discovered it wasn't even that dirty.Growing up in the bible belt
I wasn't allowed to watch Beavis and Butthead or Daria. At some point my mom decided to cut the cable completely cause we were watching it too much or some shit so for a good while all there was to watch was Alladin Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King VHSs over and over.
After the dicvorce though everything became fair game.
This and anything else vaguely satanic. I wasn't allowed to watch Ed Edd n Eddy because it was "obnoxious," but that didn't last too long. Its funny that everyone's saying Simpsons but we watched that every day as a family, there were only a few episodes that my dad turned off.
>>77875365
>mom wouldn't let me watch Simpsons because of the sex jokes and swearing
>Lethal Weapon was okay
>>77875365
Rocko's Modern Life
Rugrats (they later relented on this)
Aah! Real Monsters!
Ren and Stimpy
>>77879718
>satanic
God religies are so fucking retarded
>>77879472
Little story here:
My father pulled me aside and was genuinely intrigued by there being Disney characters in what was clearly a Japanese book.
I explained the story to him, slowly, which turned into an explanation of Japanese culture in relation the art medium.
"I don't get it, but I guess it's not what I thought it was. Just be careful about what you let into your head."
I came to value that last bit he told me. Mom backed off. Binge watched a lot of stuff I missed out on.
>>77875365
> wasn't allowed to watch South Park, because of crudeness and violence
> wasn't allowed to watch Family Guy, because of crudeness and violence
> literally show me Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ as a fucking kid
Christian parents are literally the fucking worst
>>77875365
I wasn't allowed to watch I am Weasel and Cow & Chicken.
I was lucky enough to have parents who didn't give a hot fuck about what I watched on tv.
However, I do remember in 2nd grade, when the Pokemon craze was in full fucking force, my best friend told me his mom didn't let him watch Pokemon because it was "created by Satan."
At the time, that was by far the most baffling, mind blowing, confusing thing I had ever heard in my 8 years of existence, because as a kid, anything adults said was fucking gospel, so at the time I thought,
>Ok, Satan is real... And he made Pokemon...
I had so many fucking questions.
>>77879718
One time I was watching DBZ, during the Babidi saga.
Debura the Demon King was on screen when my mom walked in the room to see what we were watching.
The top of his head was just off screen, hiding his horns. She walked back out, telling us to have a good time.
>>77879896
My parents were pretty seriously Catholic, and about the only cartoon I wasn't allowed to watch was Ren and Stimpy (I didn't much like it anyways).
>>77880028
Was it more of a "they didn't care" or a "they didn't know"?
>parents won't allow you to watch KND
>not figuring out that your parents are a part of the adult conspiracy

All of them.
I wasn't allowed to watch shit as a kid. First thing I ever saw was Disney's Alice in Wonderland when I was 17.
Mom also tried to keep me away from Simpsons, but once I saw it a few times I was too hooked for her to do a damn thing about it.
>>77875365
South Park
Drawn Together
Adult Swim
Mainly just stuff kids shouldnt be watching anyway.
>>77880161
Did they lock you in a box for 17 years?
>>77880161
Did you just not have a tv or something?
I think their was a really brief time when I was really young where I couldn't watch ninja turtles when I was like 3-4 but I think cause I kept trying to jump off stuff when I watched it. Other than that I don't think it ever happened. I dont think my dad liked us watching Clone High when I was like 11-12 but dont recall ever being stopped from watched anything.
South park and ren & stimpy
But I never really cared for the latter to be honest
>>77875942
Did you dad die a slow and painful death?
>>77879241
>not allowed to watch Teen Titans
Shit, dude.
>>77880064
Most of the time "they didn't care". We didn't even want to watch shit like South Park or Beavis and Butthead so it never became an issue, and by the time we were older and started getting more interested in stuff with swears and adult material our parents figured we were old enough and mature enough to figure it out and separate the inappropriate stuff from what we acceptable in behavior.
>>77875365
As a kid, my parents let me watch anything I wanted, cartoon-wise, and any movie as long as it wasn't rated R or X. They let me watch whatever I wanted when I became 15 afterwards.
>>77875365
The one show my mom didn't want me to watch was Courage once she realized it was "too scary", but i guess in general she tried to make me avoid anything that looked too weird or violent, or at least that's what she does nowadays with my younger brothers
Other than that i remember she prohibited me from watching two VHS tapes that an uncle of mine gave me, the first (animated) movie of Fist of the North Star and that weird, live action, taiwanese Dragon Ball movie. Because i never managed to watch it for the longest time i thought those two evil guys i could see on the back cover were supposed to be saiyans, but it felt weird because they were apparently carrying guns
FotNS instead i managed to watch at least partially, because i specifically remember the funny feelings i felt during that scene where Julia tears apart her dress
>>77880188
Nobody can ever stop you, Boco.
The only kid's show I wasn't allowed to watch was Pokemon.
My Grandma was mainly the one who enforced it, but my parents did make me sell/throw away all of my Pokemon merch. Ironically, several of the plushes I sold for a dollar at a yard sale now sell for hundreds on eBay.
I specifically remember not being able to watch Ed, Edd and Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy because the characters used the word "stupid"
Parents didn't like shows with supernatural elements; fucking shame, since I've realized those are sort of the shows I like the most since then.
Also they hated Spongebob Squarepants in particular for some reason?
'Ren and Stimpy' and 'Beavis and Butthead' were the only ones I couldn't watch. I was 12 when South Park started airing, and my family actually watched it together, before we lost interest after second season. Only other restriction was I couldn't watch wrestling, which was fine my be anyway.
I talked to my friend some time ago and he was never allowed to watch Spongebob because of that one fucking study that it killed braincells. I saw that article and laughed, years later I find out a friend was affected and believed it along with his parents.
My grandma dislike The Simpsons(and special Homer) but she never fobbiden me to watch it
My dad dislike that a then eleven-year old me still watches cartoons, but i wasn't living with him anymore
>>77875512
Modern Europe, actually.
>>77880161
I'm sorry Isaac
Simpsons because my dad hated that Bart was rude to adults
Family Guy
it wasn't a cartoon but I was banned from watching Malcom in the Middle cause my mom doesn't like shows about dysfunctional families
most of adult swim
apart from that my parents weren't too strict. they just hated the stuff I watched more than banning it
>>77875365
My mother didn't want me to watch Ren and Stimpy and Dragonball Z but my dad was cool so he let me watch anyways.
Just this.
To this day, I still don't know why.
>>77875365
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
>Me mum said it made me act retarded.
My mom said that Billy & Mandy was rude and that Spongebob teached kids to be gay.
Mom let me watch pretty much whatever that didn't involve sex and too much violence.
But at work I hear coworkers talk. Some mentioning that cartoons today are too stupid or too adult like mentioning shows like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Regular Show, and simply have cartoon network blocked in the house.
Then they proceed to talk about how paw patrol is the best thing ever.
>mfw I first watched adult swim because my parents weren't home
ATHF was like a fever dream.
>>77875365
No shows were, because my parents trusted me to make right decisions and to not be influenced by dumb cartoons.
>>77876227
>Yu-Ghi-Oh
How the fuck is this too violent? they were playing a damn card game for Christ sake!
>>77875365
My parents were disgusted when Avatar came out, with the whole rebelious kids going to a booby traped ship they were told not to go and ugly artstyle, and definetely didn't want us to keep watching. My sis and I didn't like either, but the four of us kept hate-watching it. Ever since then I haven't watched the show save from very rare ocassions where it just happened to be on when waiting for another show. It was a fantastic evening.
The Simpsons
Beavis & Butthead
Ren & Stimpy
That was pretty much it. I sill watched the Simpsons tons as a kid.
The only show I remember my mother forbidding was Ren and Stimpy for being just revolting. And in actuality, she didn't need to because I thought it was too gross as well.
Robot Chicken was off limits.
While it wasnt strictly off limits my mom did not like Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. SHe HATED Blue with a burning passion.
>>77879241
I hope you've gone and read Gash Bell
>>77875877
i once saw girls gone wild commercial and busted my first nut. Ever since, I have tried to find another show on early morning to satisfy my young blood.
There was a comedy central show with only guys. I was so horny.
My parents (really just my mom, though) banned only two things: South Park and Grand Theft Auto. These were the only two things that I was absolutely forbidden to partake in.
Of course I got plenty of both at friends' houses.
To be fair they both aimed to be as offensive and controversial as possible so in terms of violence they were far and above anything else out at the time. She didn't really care about the sexual shit or the poop humor, just the idea of me becoming too accustomed to violence, I guess.
Before that when I was very young she had banned any gun toys, but realized it was a lost cause when I pretended to shoot her with a banana.
>>77882120
>Grand Theft Auto
HA. My older brother had it and my mom would never say anything if he was in there "supervising" me. Same with Mortal Kombat.
>>77882120
>she had banned any gun toys
I know that feel. After she took away my water guns it was just ninja stars and boomarangs for me.
>>77879979
>Dabura standing there
>Dad walks in
>Whoa don't tell me they are fighting the Devil
>Leaves with a good impression
>>77882080
Did anyone else sneak downstairs before school to watch the Girls Gone Wild Commercials that were on before 6 am?
>>77875365
I wasn't allowed Disney Channel til I was 10 and wasn't allowed Spongebob tip iI was 12
Good thing my cousins had no such restrictions or I would have ended up even more socially retarded than I already am
>>77876085
>it's scary to think that was 15 years ago
What? Nigga that shit aired outside of japan in the early 90s, what the fuck.
I wasn't supposed to watch cartoon network at all. The show they really hated was ed edd and eddy. I missed so many good shows
>>77879241
You had a really bad childhood.
Do you need a hug anon?
>rich obnoxious mom and dad divorced and remarried each other six times throughout childhood
>were awful negligent parents 99% of the time, pretended to be good strict parents the other 1% by making sudden and arbitrary rules that they would forget in a week because they wanted to feel better about themselves
>one day they come up to me
>"you cannot watch drake and josh, because it undermines the authority of the parents and they constantly mock their elders"
>don't understand why when they constantly see us watch violent/sexual shit they suddenly want drake and fucking josh out of the house
god they are fucking boobs
I'm really amazed at all the parents who banned The Simpsons, but then again, I remember that show being controversial when it came out, even if it feels tame today.
>>77882019
Shit, convince her to post on /co/, I don't think I've ever seen a positive thing said about Bloo on /co/.
My Mom hated
>Cow and Chicken
>The Smurfs
>The Muppets
>Animaniacs
>Ed Edd n Eddy
for some reason. Those are the only ones I remember her having a heavy opinion against. My Dad was in the "don't really care what the kid watches as long as it's not PG-13 or something" category.
My Mom also claims to have cut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJJHm2WFkbA out of the Disneyland Fun VHS tape we had, but I remember seeing this as a kid. I should find the VHS tape (they're in a box somewhere) and see if she actually did it.
>>77882618
>The Smurfs
>Animaniacs
your moms kind of a harpy
So much Ed Edd n Eddy hate
>>77882618
how do you hate the muppets
>not allowed to watch Nickelodeon because Rugrats
I basically just disobeyed that rule every chance I got. I don't know what they thought was offensive about Rugrats. Maybe the parent's B plots hit too close to home.
>>77882710
It promoted pig and frog marriage. Which is almost as bad as cats and turtles.
>>77879049
Your parents are shit anon. I feel bad for you.
>>77879241
Like 95% of all the shows I loved/watched as a kid. Fuck you faggot.
>I'm 20 mind you
Parents never cared I played and watched whatever.
>mfw people say "my parents don't allow"
I'm a savage.
>>77882695
Fucking weird, right?
That and a lot of Cow & Chicken, both pretty tame cartoons.
The only thing I can imagine is people were annoyed by those shows so they didn't want their youngin watching it.
It that's the case, I totally understand, if my kid started watching a show like the annoying orange or something, I'd ban that in a fucking second.
>>77875365
My dad despised the really crappy old Hannah Barbara shows from the 70's that used to rerun on cartoon network before they started making a lot more of their own programming.
"Are you watching the Laugholympics? That was terrible even when I was a kid. You're just killing time. Come on, let's go down to the creek and go fishing instead. We'll be back in time for something good, like Batman."
God bless that man.
>>77878232
How the fuck old are you that your mom still censors what you watch?
>>77883255
man it must've sucked as a kid growing up in the '70s
>>77880850
Well, post-movie Spongebob does rot the brain something fierce.
>>77883100
You're parents didn't love you
>>77883666
You would know Satan
>>77877568
Whatever happened to Father's kid anyway? Based on what he tried to do with the Delightful Children From Down the Lane, nothing good.
Nothing. My parents really didn't give a shit as long as we weren't watching ultra-violent stuff.
Even with violent stuff, they didn't care. My mother was more annoyed at Dragonball Z than anything; she would always complain about it being "characters standing around grunting at each other for 10 minutes".
I was allowed to watch what i wanted growing up but my sister wasn't allowed to watch a show called pingu when she was a child, she used to throw her food around when it was on.
My parents were really strict on me watching the Simpsons for obvious reasons
Some time later I shit you not I wasn't allowed to watch spongebob because my mom thought it promotes self hate or stupidity or something
>>77884236
My mom decided to watch the training video with me. After the long joke about poop, she declared it was banned from our home.
My parents put Net Nanny online, and banned me from watching cartoons that were more than TV-Y7.
When I learned how to uninstall Net Nanny and disable the V-Chip through tutorials at the school computers, Dad just said 'you know what, fuck it, I give up'. And then I was able to watch anything, just not around him.
>>77875365
she was just warning you of your shit taste
you're disappointment to her right now f︂︂a︂m
>>77882345
Unless you're 'murican
>mfw Catholic parents
>mfw they didn't give a shit what I watched as long as I wasn't in front of the TV too much
>>77883913
She knew it was shit before we did
For some reason the only stuff i wasn't allowed to watch was anime, mostly Dragon Ball Z, Ranma 1/2 and Saint Seiya mostly due being raised in a christian family
Oddly enough, there was no problem for me to watch beavis and butthead or animaniacs
>>77879241
Who the fuck hates Gremlins?
Futurama.
Meanwhile I was binging my Dad's collection of classic Simpsons.
>>77875942
>couldn't watch The Critic
A fate worse than death.
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
Grim Adventures
Pokemon
other stuff
It was generally either 'don't watch that, it's stupid' (I don't blame them in the case of EE&E) or 'don't watch that it's satan b/c summoning/elemental powers/whatever'.
They've since mellowed out, as supernatural inspired fiction has become my favorite genre anyway. Even mom (who's a general basket case anyway) watched both Hellboy movies and was actually fascinated by them. She still falls back on her 'it's satanic!11!!!11!!' from time to time, though.
Being the youngest child of a family of four my parents pretty much let me watch anything. when I was four and South Park premiered, my parents let me watch it with my siblings.
>>77879241
You couldnt watch thats so Raven...why?
south park
beavis and butthead
that was it
>>77875365
Aqua Teen Hunger Force and South Park
I got really angry at my mom because she made me watch Alien when I was 8 and I couldn't sleep after.
My cousin was not allowed to watch GIjoe, Transformers or any show with battles in it. Today he's an angry frustrated weirdo.
>>77885566
damn, you're family's fubar. Are your aunt and uncle kicking themselves?
![latest[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/KdPOu3R.gif "latest[1].gif")
Shin Chan.
I'm from Peru and for whatever reason it aired on a kids' network there for a while, but was pulled after people complained.
That's about it.
>>77880209
>>77880202
We owned 1 tv and I wasn't allowed to touch it.
Got my own place at 17 and a tv
I couldn't watch Ed Edd n Eddy and the animated stuff on MTV.
>>77876748My girlfriend's parents didn't let her watch Billy and Mandy.
>>77875365
Only South Park
>>77877307
She was allowed to watch the ultra-violent DBZ, but not the lighthearted (and superior) DB?
And she could watch the shitty Star Wars prequels but not the originals? Why?
>>77878059
Did you?
>Ed Edd n Eddy
Mom said it was, "stupid" and she didn't want me copying anything from it. Watched it once or twice at my dad's house
>TDII was 12 when it premiered in the states 7 years agoSome relatives were living with us at the time. Two cousins and I were the same age, and so naturally we didn't get along. Aunt blamed TDI and as a result we weren't allowed to watch it.
