oh thank god I'm not insane. If i had kids i woudn't let them watch it. Much like my mom wouldn't let me watch rocko's modern life back in the day sponge bob is no different in my book.

Did I miss a video? Since when did Spazz review them? I looked on here and his YouTube channel, and I can't find anything.

Can someone please provide a link?

Finally! Somebody who sees through the mind-numbing madness of these shows and use reason to articulate there dislike for them. Thank you! Oh were you expecting an obnoxiously single word, fandom?

oh no fair i loved both these shows as a kid

Ed Edd N Eddy: It's ok.

Spongebob: Went utterly downhill after the movie. Most of the episodes had completely idiotic plots and the characters dereailed into complete jerks. Blame writers Casey Alexander and Zeus Cervas for that crap! Also, they hype up normal episodes as a special. They even hyped up an 11 minute episode (with a terrible plot) by a 24 hour marathon!

Captain Planet: It got SWAT Kats (a good show) cancelled. Consequences for even the smallest acts of pollution are redicoulsy overblown and immediate. And it talks about stuff not meant for kids (population control, AIDS,). It made the conficlt between catholics and protestants look like a gang war or west side story. The only American on the team is a jerk, Which is why this show can never be taken seriously.

What do you think shades?

Shades I agree with you for the most part. I agree that Spongebob is garbage and should be banned from existence like American Idol and Glee.

I found Ed, Edd n Eddy nostalgic (for the first couple seasons anyway). I mean in the end it's just about kids having fun in the summer and we all did stupid stuff when we were that age. Sneaking into R-rated movies, pool parties, building goofy stuff in dad's garage. but then again maybe I'm just getting old.

Well sir while I don't agree with (part of) what you say I'll defend to the death your right to say it =p

I was unaware that there was a "standard" to responding. Perhaps this would've been more akin to your liking...

Shades, I must say that I see the points you are trying to make and find them to be very valid and acceptable... but I somewhat disagree with you. While I agree that the newer SpongeBobs are very weird and not as funny anymore (and that the movie was also disappointing), I found the first few seasons to be hilarious and mindless fun. I feel the same way about Ed, Edd n' Eddy too, the newer ones and TV specials weren't that good but I found the first few seasons to be funny as well. Also, you should know that not all of the characters had unlikable characteristics . Edd was the smart one who I thought usually tried to keep the other two from breaking any rules or doing anything too bad. Ed, on the other hand, was just dumb and followed anything that Edd and Eddy did just because (

I do agree with you for the most part. While when I was younger I liked watching Ed, Edd, and Eddy when I got older I just stopped caring for the show. As for Spongebob I could care less for the new episodes since all the characters have basically been written into idiotic jackasses but I do like the older episodes before the movie.

I'd sometimes have Cartoon Network on in the background while I worked on something (especially when I couldn't listen to the greatness that is Regurgitate or The Brown Album). That's the only time I ever watched the Edds, if you can call it that.

As for spongebob.....once again i'm reminded that my level of ability to ignore mainstream is godlike.

Bottom line, unless both can pull something as awesome as a dramatic speech about strawberry milk and late night bathroom use, I'll pass.

Dude, I loved Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and I still do.

Oh well, another 'agree to disagree' I suppose.

i think they both suck and wish those channels replace the shows with something else. i would actually like to see the game shows back on the air in their time slots

The only good use for Spongebob is his YouTube Poop material. That show has so much disturbing, nightmarish imagery that Poopers LOVE using it at every opportunity.

Do a Google search for moar krabs and you'll see what I mean. (It's not fanart; it was actually in the show.)

Thank you for doing this because I thought I was the only one who hated Ed,Edd, & Eddy. My god, that show is stupid. Persoanlly, if I had to think of any cartoons besides mentioned in this video that I can't stand, the first one that always comes to mind is Brandy & Mr. Whiskers. I don't what Disney was thinking when they greenlighted taht show. To me that shows insults integellence and one of the main characters, Mr. Whiskers is so stupid that he is annoying and unlikable. Plus this is just a pet peeve but I hate when they make cartoon characters who in my view look dirty such as Mr. Whisker or Ed fro Ed,Edd, Eddy.

im pretty ok with spongebob, and also i loved ed edd and eddy growing up as a kid and i still love it, brings me back to the old days when cartoon network didnt suck so hard, honestly the only thing keeping that network alive is adult swim, which if it gets any longer on CN, it will eventually branch off to form its own network

uuuuuhhh, is it bad that i grew up with those shows?? heh..no wonder why i am a douchbag

For as stupid and nonsensical as Spongebob Squarepants is, I would still rank it higher than Catdog, a show I believe was one of the worst if not the absolute bottom of barrel of Nickelodeon cartoons.

I am a HUGE fan of Ed, Edd n Eddy, so I don't exactly agree. Rolf is the only likeable character? Well, not really. He was a bit of a dick in some episodes, mostly whenever the episode involved his "Urban Rangers" group. As for teaching bad lessons, I'd consider the overall lesson of "scamming is wrong" to be a very valid lesson. Think about it, the Eds plans are referred to as scams and the goal is always to cheat the other kids out of thier money. These plans never work for them in the end.

With Spongebob, I can agree. Spongebob is the only children's cartoon to get a Dethronign Moment of Suck subpage on Tv Tropes, with the other four cartoons all being adult ones (Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, South Park) the fact of the matter is that the series has gone downhill post-movie, with a few bright spots like the Pat Morita episode. Overall, Spongebob is a series that should have ended (which is what meant to after to movie) but still shambles on like a zombie.

Spongebob is yellow.....
The Simpsons are yellow.....
both shows have overstayed their welcome....
....
....
.......nah, i'm reading too much into it

-I sort of liked Ed, Edd, N Eddy, mostly for how silly it is but I don't feel like watching the reruns these days...
-Spongebob, well, ignorance is bliss I guess. If it's a new episode I'll watch it mostly just because it's silly and supposed to be dumb I suppose. And just for fun, to quote a old Nicktoon: PINEAPPLES!!!!!

Here's a fun idea: have you seen the new Looney Tunes Show? I'm not saying it's bad, in fact it's really good, even if it's nothing like the original Looney Tunes.

this is not directly to shades this is to every person who will put blame on something else b/c someone did something stupid that just happened to be on a popular TV show movie game or whatever it may be.

Just shut up

MEDIA CAN'T CONTROL A PERSONS ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING IT'S THEIR OWN PERSONAL CHOICE

It can put the idea in their head but it is the individual who is overall responsible for their actions

Don't say Spongebob and Ed Edd and eddy will fill your kids with trash society can do that for them and you know who else, the parents. So don't ban kids from watching shows because you think it's crap, (whether it is or not doesn't matter I don't care if people think it's crap I HATE Ed Edd and Eddy with a burning passion and I have a soft spot for the early Spongebob episodes but not so much now) My issue is with the "My kids will learn bad things from watching this," Yeah and you know what i learned, your friends aren't always your friends, they can be lying backstabbing bitches FROM PERSONAL experience not some show. TV doesn't equal life experience, the people your kids (or whoever) are around will determine what goes into their head.

Like I said before I DO NOT CARE IF YOU HATE THESE SHOWS I hate the fact people whine and complain the shows corrupt kids, no, not really, if you can properly teach kids right from wrong they can watch the shows and have no effect on them.

I never want to hear that argument again but apparently people don't realize this OBVIOUS point that it's just entertainment and not meant to be serious, the reason I am angry is because no matter what it is someone has to twist it so there's a problem when there really isn't so next time you want to just blame TV Music movies or whatever, check yourself b/c you might be the one with insecurities.

Seriously think about it, have you ever heard someone say I want to do this this and this because i saw it on Ed Edd and Eddy (unless it was something they built) then no, have you ever seen anyone do ANYTHING from sponegebob? Except sing the songs a million times to no end and quote episodes in its entirety No, so the show lies big whoop tv is just entertainment, don't like it get rid of your tv and any other form of entertainment you can't blame one thing and like the rest if one thing is bad it's all bad.

there I feel better now....

I say you're a troll who should give spongebob and ed, edd, n eddy a chance. yes they're stupid but they're supposed to be stupid, it's candy for the brain. SPONGEBOB IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS EVAR. GO FUCK YOURSELF

I think that there are other underlying issues behind kids imitating the bad behavior found on TV, in video games and other places. I don't think it's the media's fault because, as you've noticed, those of us that don't have these "issues" see the show for what it is, mindless, fun entertainment.

On another note, I noticed that my original comment was somehow cut off (*which annoys me*) and wanted to repeat what I originally said: I thought this was a very well done vid and look forward to more "Random Reviews" and "Anime Takeover"s , Shades!

Before I say anything, I want to say that I that this was a high quality review and I commend you for explaining why you don't like them, however I don't agree with you on many levels.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy: Personally, I can't really take your opinion on this one too seriously. You gave off the air of an IGN reviewer who only watches/plays a small portion and makes their opinion. Have you ever watched ANY of the Urban Rangers episodes. Rolf is a complete douche in every single one. As far as the main characters, did you ever notice how Double D voices against Eddy's plan on a regular basis and that Ed is an easily-influenced sack of hammers? While on the subject, have you noticed that the scams in the show always fail. It pretty much shows you what scamming leads to. Another thing is that you are not meant to take any of it seriously. As previously stated, it is just about three guys doing stupid stuff in the summer.

Spongebob: I won't take too much time here, so don't worry. Now, I'm not defending anything after the movie, those are just plain awful. Anything before that is actually pretty good and taught legit lessons. For example, in one episode, Spongebob tries to impress Sandy by using fake muscles. When that fails, he is shunned for being a fraud. After he redeems himself, he learns that people will like him for who he is. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a legit, albeit generic, lesson.

Sorry if this seems long-winded, but I had to get that out. Like I said, I don't hate you, but I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Otherwise, great review and I look forward to your future reviews.

I find Ed, Edd, and Eddy to be an ok show with some good humor and diverse and decently written characters. I also find that it's popular with drug users and with some of their sequences, not hard to see why.

Spongebob has always been a fucked up show with no real reason for kids or anyone to watch it. I believe that i won the movie in a bingocontest. I never really had anything against Ed, Edd & Eddy though. It was always a show about kids being kids & that was it.
I see the point of it insulting your intelligence but the point about kids learning wrong lessons from shows is arguable. A lot of shows will use a storyline where it isn't there purpose to teach kids bad lessons. More in the sence that they want to create a show with realistic views. Even with shows that can be seen as random stupid shows. I find it more wrong when kids are watching or listening to something that isn't meant for them but the person who makes the decision for them to watch or listen to that is just looking at one thing. I watched Animal Farm yesterday and that's a movie that tells the story of Communism through a war between animal & man. So even when the title doesn't say a lot about the movie it is still not a good movie for kids to watch. It has talking animals but it's not Cats & Dogs or 101 Dalmatians.

I'm one of those people that absolutely fucking HATES Spongebob with a passion! The fact that the show is still going today just absolutely baffles me and makes me want to rage! I wouldn't ever let my kids watch that piece of garbage, and the same with Ed, Edd & Eddy even though it's just a show about kids doing stupid stuff even though it teaches some wrong things like lying and stealing.

I can see what Shades is saying by these shows insulting his intelligence!

Even though I don't like Spongebob, I do feel like it's trying to teach kids lessons through it's episodic stories regardless of how absolutely dumb and just unbearable to watch the episodes are since I don't like any of the characters at all! The fact that there was a Spongebob movie just really makes me shake my head and ask myself why though.

Same with all of the terrible video games that stretch across multiple platforms!

Random question for you Shades: Have you ever seen Chowder? My opinion is that that's far worse than even EEE. I wanna know what you think of it.

One thing I don't get is why is Shades making a big deal out of cartoons that don't teach lessons, I mean didn't cartoons that do that go out of style in the 1990s and any show that tries to do so today is seen as being pussyfied or something like that?

Dear shades thank you for not being a mindless idiot I feel slightly bad about going off about that on little incident, but I've been hearing it a lot lately (people not taking proper responsibility for properly teaching their kids as they are growing up) and it was like that was the last straw and i had to get my opinion out, it wasn't directed at you mainly just a little bit then again it's your video bring up which ever points you want. So if I offended you I apologize.

And to whoever put the nostalgia critic cursing for like three minutes straight I found that hilarious. I love the Nostalgia critic he is awesome :) but that's another comment on another website that I haven't signed up for.

Getting back on topic I hope she doesn't pick up anything bad from the media if so it'll probably just faze out with time like all things related to the media does. for some reason the world likes to have stupid entertainment trends that just annoy everyone.

I see where you're coming from with the Ed show. I grew up with Spongebob though, but I hate the new episodes. The new episodes insult my intelligence, and they just aren't as funny as the old episodes. But I can see where you're coming from with both shows. Watching old Spongebob episodes is a nostalgic trip for me, the new ones can go jump in a lake for all I care.

ROAR! I LOVE SPONGEBOB AND ED EDD AND EDDY! YOU MUST NOT HAVE BEEN SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE HOW HILARIOUS THEY ARE!ROAR!!!!!

Ed, Edd, & Eddy: Ooh, boy. My stupid childhood made this show so much funnier than it was. I will admit, i don't think the show is AS bad as you make it out to be, but i think that's partly because i was such a dumb child when i was growing up with this stuff that it appealed to me. (thank goodness i found the internet, or else i'd be watching that other crap on nick) It's idiotic, and it's non-sensical. But i'd be lying if i said i didn't still find it a bit funny, in a "it's so stupid, it's laughable" way. The show is enjoyable if you are in the mood for something like the Three Stooges, which i also go on and off about liking and hating. It's stupid, but can be enjoyed.

Spongebob Squarepants: Ok, this show suffers from the same problem alot of animated shows suffer nowadays; Decent-Great first few seasons with a lot of emotion and feeling (you know, that give me the feeling that they really want you to connect and relate to these characters), then slowly running out of good, well thought out material, and having to resort to parody and cliched stories in order to make new episodes. I say that the first, uh, maybe 2 seasons, weren't horrible, but i do see some problems. After that... ugh, it is just unbearable. And it's so... disgusting. And have you SEEN the amount of gore on this show?!? People's toe nails get ripped out by a table on his foot! His face peels off! His skin is all gone and we see muscle tissue! Mr. Krab's nightmarish face! Your child might have nightmares after some of these episodes. DON'T LET ANYONE WATCH IT!

Shows you should avoid; Avoid ANY of the Dan Schnieder sitcoms (Victorious, iCarly, etc.). These shows are just horrible, and they are so inappropriate (I don't need you to talk about boobs and bras, or have your characters going to mental hospitals! This is a kids show, not a japanese kids show (ba-zing!)) and bizarre that they make you stupider. In fact, alot of live action sitcoms for kids have these problems (like the disney channel crap of Wizards of Waverly Place, Shake it Up, and Good Luck Charlie). The CG shows (Fanboy & Chum Chum, Planet Sheen, Penguins of Madagascar), so stupid, you might lose brain cells watching the first two. although the ones on CN aren't too bad, i don't watch em. Problem Show, Mad TV, Gumball, don't watch em. anything live action on CN, don't watch it. If 4kids is involved with anything, never watch it.

Shows you should watch: The only ones i can recommend on nick are Big Time Rush (which has it's moments of smart and stupid, so your milage may vary), and obviously, Power Rangers Samurai. Supah Ninjas... i can't say anything about it, except, it just isn't all that enjoyable to me, but it could be alot worse. On Cartoon Network, I enjoy Regular Show and Adventure Time, for having some pretty fun characters and alot of good humor. Although, they probably are even funnier stoned. (however, they are definitely not shows you should show your daughter at this age), everything else is crap. On Disney Channel, Phineas & Ferb. Pretty smart, and I like alot of the humor on the show. And these are the only kids shows i advice of watching, everything else is stupid.

I hear Nicktoons has some pretty kewl shows, but i don't watch it that often.

Hello Shades.

It's me, Kainsword17. I completely share your views on these stupid shows. Another show that I can think of is Johhny Test, stupid main character, lame side-cast, dumb storylines and lazy animation.

I completely beleave that "The Amazing World of Gumball" is a FAR BETTER show then any of those wastes of animation (you should really check it out Shades, you and your kid would love it).

Ok, I agree with Sponge Bob, horrible show... needs to get canceled fast. The show was good for a bit, but then it got REALLY REALLY annoying... especially with Sponge Bob's horrid driving, and the whole "BE~ST FRIEND~" thing... UGH yes Sponge Bob and Patrick, we know you're butt buddies... JUST BLOODY SAY IT ALREADY GOD!!!...

Moving on I actually quite Enjoyed Ed Edd and Eddy... and I found it quite amusing that one of the Gundam Pilots I lothed the most was voiced by the guy who did Edd's voice... and it was more amusing to find out he did the singing voice for Sonic in Sonic Underground XD

As for shows to avoid (and that i'd LOVE to see you tear a new screw hole into) *takes deep breath*: Chowder, Marvelous Misadventures of FlapJack, iCarly, Adventure Time, Mad TV, Cow and Chicken, AND... Johnny Bravo... those are just for starters though... as that's all I can really think up at 3:32 in the morning...
