4. The Fairly Oddparents Is About Anti-Depressants
When we were younger, we really enjoyed watching The Fairly Oddparents because it was incredibly weird and gave us a bit of childhood surrealism that also had an injection of the adult world at times as well. If you watched the show, you may remember that Timmy would often get upset to find that his fairies would be leaving him when he was older, but this was changed in a single episode. Someone noticed that in one episode, this was changed to “You’ll have your fairies until you no longer need them.” In fact, he finds out through time travel that they’ll be with him once he’s in his twenties. We also know that the fairies appeared when all of his problems did, Vicky especially. It isn’t too ridiculous to think of the two fairies as being an analogy for anti-depressants then! Kind of ruins the fun aspect of the show, doesn’t it?
5. Charlie Brown Has Cancer
Before we get into the actual meat of the theory, it’s not surprising to us that this is quite possibly the theory that best represents the mentality of the show. This guy is quite possibly the unluckiest human being to ever exist in a cartoon, so it makes sense that audiences would come up with the most depressing theory. Charlie Brown is a rare cartoon character, as he lives in a world filled with flaws and the normal responsibilities that plague people in the real world. He’s also sad beyond his years, as he always seems to be down. Well, some believe that the perpetually bald child actually has cancer. In fact, others go even further, saying that none of the show is actually real and takes place inside the head of Charlie Brown, who is safely tucked away on his deathbed. We’re not sure about you, but this has ruined any chance of us enjoying Peanuts anymore.
6. Tom & Jerry Is Nazi Propaganda
Once a television show made for children is out for a certain amount of time, the world starts to find little things in between the lines that start to blur exactly what the whole point of the show was. A lot of people say that it’s just to entertain children, but then a lot of the audience will go another way, arguing an insane conspiracy theory. Tom & Jerry has been around for a long time, starting just one year into the Second World War, which some believe connects it to the conflict. What you may not know is that British soldiers were nicknamed “Tommies” at the time, while German soldiers were nicknamed “Jerries.” Now, who is the smaller but ultimately smarter character who constantly outwits and brutally hurts the opposing character? Sure, it’s not conclusive proof, but it certainly seems like quite the coincidence to have happened so close to the war.
