Teaching kids what is right and wrong can sometimes be exhausting, so parents usually leave it
on cartoons to teach their kids some of that stuff. It mostly works, but sometimes the message
backfires end up making kids burn their whole house down and the network usually has to ban
the episode, or the cartoon as a whole. We are not kidding. Let us look at a list of top 10 banned
cartoons.
Number 10.) Pokémon
Despite being its aggressive nature, pokemon would be the last cartoon in your mind that could
harm anyone. But that is what it did, not to just one, but hundreds of children. The fun of this
infamous Pokémon episode all started when Ash was forced to travel inside the depths of one of
his own Poké balls. When Pikachu used lightning to detonate incoming missiles, he saved the
day. you would think that the episode just ends there. But it takes on real-life events after this.
For the kids watching the show, things didn't go so smoothly. The flashing red and blue
explosion sent almost 700 Japanese children into bouts of dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, or
in some cases, even seizures. This was called the "Pokémon Shock" and it made headlines
around the world. The shock was so big that it didn't just get the episode banned - the entire
show went on a four-month break.
Number 9.) Cow and chicken
Cartoon Network's wildly surreal animated comedy had a run-in with the censors following the
single original airing of the episode "Buffalo Gals" on February 20, 1998. In the episode, the

titular gals are a group of bikers who are portrayed to resemble most of the lazy stereotypes
associated with lesbians at the time, namely having a "butch" appearance and playing softball,
with dialogue talking extensively about "pitching" and "catching". Furthermore, blatant
references are made to their penchant for munching carpets - one of them is even named "Munch
Kelly" - and their total disinterest in men. Naturally, this didn't go down well with easily-
offended parents, who complained, prompting the network to pull the episode and never air it
again. Because the offense was so huge, Buffalo Gals sadly wasn't even made available to fans
during its recent Netflix run. Thankfully, though, there are some easy-to-find bootleg versions
floating around online. If you have not seen it, we can confirm that it is worth a watch.
Number 8) Beavis and Butt-Head
This cartoon series showed nothing useful at all, but one episode went a little too far. The first
episode of Beavis and Butt-Head's third season sees the titular duo attempting to get rich by
becoming stand-up comedians, or "stand-up chameleons", as Butt-Head puts it. Things don't go
well, leading to the pair setting the comedy club on fire and laughing as it burns down. It's not
exactly ultra-provocative, but it did unfortunately inspire a five-year-old Ohio boy, Austin
Messner, to set fire to his own trailer home, killing his two-year-old sister in the process. MTV
responded by immediately pulling the episode and moving the show from 7 pm to a 10:30pm
time slot, as well as removing any references to fire on their network. The incident really did a
number on the network. Though they did also re-edit the episode to make it less objectionable,
ultimately the decision was made to take it out of the rotation completely, a decision which still
stands some 25 years later. We don’t blame the network. Who would expect a 5-year-old to be
insane enough to put a trailer home on fire? Maybe it is time kids stop watching cartoons
Number 7) Peppa Pig

When you're a kid, there are too many things to be afraid of. Getting afraid and crying is the only
thing kids are really good at. The British animated show Peppa Pig tried to solve that problem
and teach the kids to do so. They did it by explaining that spiders might seem scary, but can't
really hurt you. The message was directed towards kids as most kids are afraid of spiders and as
they don’t engage with them since the start, they stay afraid of them even if they grow old. So, to
remove that fear the cartoon tried to show that they aren’t dangerous. The message was a good
one in Britain but not in Australia, where spiders actually can kill you. broadcasters saw a
horrible problem brewing which could potentially endanger the lives of kids as most of them are
reckless. Rather than encouraging kids to get close to venomous spiders, the episode of the series
was deemed unsuitable for public safety, and it got banned there.
