10. The SpongeBob Squarepants Characters Are Mutants
What you can see in this image is Bikini Atoll or at least the SpongeBob Squarepants representation of it. SpongeBob and his misfit friends all live underneath it, hence why they live in a place named Bikini Bottom. In the mid to late ’40s, the US spent a lot of time testing nuclear weapons at the atoll, including some being set off under the water. Some people theorize that the reason SpongeBob and his friends are so weird, along with the fact that they can talk and interact with each other, is because they’ve been mutated by the various experiments done by human beings. While the makers of the show have probably stated in the past that this isn’t true, we like to think that this one is correct. Why else would they have set the show anywhere near Bikini Atoll? We reckon the only reason to do this is to connect it to the nuclear testing there.
11. Samurai Jack Takes Place In The Same World As Powerpuff Girls
Believe it or not, but there are some who believe that the bubblegum world of The Powerpuff Girls is actually just a precursor to the post-apocalyptic world that Samurai Jack lives in. People claim that Jack looks just like the professor, which has led some to believe that this is the professor from The Powerpuff Girls. Adding further truth to this theory is the fact that Townsville from The Powerpuff Girls looks similar to the setting in Samurai Jack, with the post-apocalyptic city even containing billboards that were first seen in Townsville. It’s theorized that perhaps, The Powerpuff Girls failed, meaning that the world was left in complete devastation and chaos, with only the professor left to try and pick up the pieces that have been left behind by his daughters. Sadly, the creator of Samurai Jack has debunked this theory, but then, he would say that, wouldn’t he?
12. The Fresh Prince Actually Died
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air was such a popular show that there are entire swathes of people who could recite the theme tune for you right now. However, there are some who believe that that exact theme tune hides a secret message that most of us are overlooking. These people say that, rather than ending up with his aunt and uncle in Bel Air, the fresh prince is actually dead. In the theme tune, Will Smith raps that when he gets beaten up on a basketball court, his mother makes him move to somewhere posher and therefore safer to live with family. The reason he only gets to see his parents here and there is because they only visit his grave on rare occasions, meaning he’s left with the dead members of his family instead — a pretty grim look at what’s otherwise a fairly optimistic show, if you ask us.
