Go To

1* Played with by ''WebAnimation/AngelHare''. The version of the show on the VHS Jonah bought at the thrift store is a completely normal Christian themed children’s show ala WesternAnimation/VeggieTales. The version he recorded on TV as a kid is much more surreal and unnerving, [[spoiler:but not in the way one would normally expect. The horror doesn’t come from the show itself, but from what it reveals about Jonah’s past.]]
2* While kids' shows aren't the only thing used in YouTubePoop, they ''are'' one of the ''main'' things in it, and the comedic effect of [[ManipulativeEditing editing things to sound vulgar]] is a lot more noticeable when the source material itself is for children. This is taken up to eleven by [=YTPs=] of {{edutainment}} shows like "Advertising/DrRabbit's World Tour."
3* [[http://www.bertisevil.tv/ Bert is EVIL!]], a website where photos are manipulated to depict Bert from ''Series/SesameStreet'' doing horrible things and being involved with infamous atrocities and people from the past.
4* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' features an adorable cast of anthropomorphic animals who constantly die in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath incredibly violent]] and [[{{Gorn}} bloody]] ways each episode. It used to have an official website with labels reading "Cartoon Violence: Not for Small Children or Big Babies" all over it, but there were still parents complaining about their six-year-olds stumbling upon it.
5** However, in a contrasting note, it's quite impossible for parents to claim that the show sets a bad example for small children, given its fairly consisted aesop about household safety. Many of the characters' deaths involve accidents caused by playing with kitchen tools, matches, and the old favorite: not turning something off at the plug.
6* ''WebAnimation/RetardedAnimalBabies'', which crosses the line twice as much with {{Gorn}} and porn. Sometimes, but not always, funnier. Its title alone should warn you that it is definitely not kid-appropriate.
7* An inversion, taking the very serious ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' and turning it into an 80s SaturdayMorningCartoon. [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/485797 Beware]].
8** And the animation studio's slogan? "Touching your inner child"....
9* Platform/{{Newgrounds}} takes great pride in doing this.
10** ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'' stylistically looks like a crude children's cartoon and was sarcastically advertised as {{edutainment}}, but had its young characters experience school shootings, express interest in arson and the dead, and regularly featured over-the-top drug usage and gore. ''Pico vs. Bear'' in particular parodies the famous ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' (later changed to a CorruptedCharacterCopy named Big Brown Bary) as a depraved drug abuser with a suspected history of child molestation.
11** In the early days of the website, the side page ''Series/{{Teletubb|ies}}y Fun Land'' was dedicated to kids writing in about the depraved antics of the Teletubbies.
12* Music/LemonDemon's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AXPnH0C9UA Song of the Count (Censored)]].
13* Polish 3D animator WebAnimation/Cyber8. Nearly all of his videos involve beloved childhood cartoon characters being mulitated and sexually abused.
14%%* I'm on a Boat (Feat. Ponyo).
15* WebAnimation/ShapeBuddies. This show is another one of those, containing blood, drugs and dark humor.
16** Almost every episode Rhombus dies
17** In episode 5a, one of the adult shapes had a cigarette in their mouth
18** In episode 2 there was alot of death and has the highest kill count in season 1
19** In the season 1 intro, Arrow is seen holding a gun
20** The show has alot of death, bloody or not
21** In episode 2, Bean sings a song about him being quiet, it had some questionable lyrics in the end
22* Music/DoctorSteel's webisodes of ''The Dr. Steel Show'' are done in the style of kids shows but are quite subverted. Also his song, ''Smokey's Theme'', ostensibly the [[ThemeTune theme song]] for a kid's show about a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids cigar-smoking]] trout who loves children.
23* The famous ''Literature/CandleCove'' CreepyPasta uses this as its premise, but utilises it more for shivers than laughs.
24** "Lost Episode" and "The Truth Behind [show]" creepypastas do the same thing, describing an episode with horrific DerangedAnimation and putting forward theories that the characters are based off dead people respectively.
25** There are a few creepypastas that take a similar route as ''Candle Cove'' by using made-up shows (as apposed to existing shows), like ''Literature/HappyAppy''.
26** Several of Creator/{{Slimebeast}}'s stories involve the narrator reminiscing about or stumbling upon an obscure children's show that somehow got away with highly disturbing and gruesome content, which usually has some kind of supernatural effect on those who watch it.
27*** "Class Creeps" is about a few friends who try to watch a video stream of the pilot episode of a 1990's cartoon called ''Class Creeps''. However, the narrator is unable to get the video feed to load, so he has to get his friends to describe what is happening in the chatroom. The show is about a group of students who get killed in a horrible accident and are then revived as grotesque monsters by a MadScientist named Dr. Satanstein. [[spoiler:Also, anyone who watches the episode is eventually compelled to [[EyeScream gouge out their own eyes]], which quickly leads to death from blood loss. By the end of the pasta, only the narrator is spared as he can't see the video feed.]]
28*** "Dead Serious" concerns a cartoon called ''Zombionix'', where undead cyborgs endlessly mutilate each other in a post-apocalyptic setting. The show has apparently inspired children in the real world to commit awful acts of violence.
29*** "Squiggles" describes a puppet show where the title character makes politically incorrect jokes and causes the children in the show's live studio audience to convulse and die.
30*** "Funtime with Floppy" has the narrator reminisce on an early 1980's puppet show and how he once sent a letter asking that Floppy stand up to the other characters picking on him, resulting in Floppy's tormentors murdering him onscreen.
31*** Ironically, Slimebeast also wrote "Lost Episodes", a MetaOrigin for all of those "lost episode" pastas, where they have no dark secret origin and were just edits made by one kid with access to high-end (for the time) video editing equipment, deliberately made to be scary and disturbing purely for the sake of being scary and disturbing, with no grander purpose or symbolism behind it at all, and certainly nothing supernatural about them. [[spoiler:However, it ends with him BrainUploading himself into a cartoon of his own creation, and the sequel, "Sid's Video", reveals that the resulting tape ''does'' have supernatural effects, namely it edits any recorded media in its vicinity to make it more disturbing]].
32** In general, this is a popular trope for creepypastas. What is more shocking than seeing your favorite childhood video game or television show turn into something twisted and wrong?
33* [[WebVideo/DogShirt Dog Toons]]' ''Homemade Intros'' web series combines both humour and horror to create a truly bizzare and outright horrifying experience. The premise is simple: with each video the creator, Noah tries to re-make an intro, [[StylisticSuck but he's really bad at it]]. At first, the series started out relatively tame with typical [[{{Parody}} parodies]], though as time went on it started to get more weird with its DerangedAnimation and making a lot of the children's shows tackled be DarkerAndEdgier (for one, the ''WesternAnimation/GoDiegoGo'' intro is about Diego trying to run away from the animals that are out to kill him, and his parents have accepted that their child is far gone). That's without mentioning that the show headed straight towards ParanoiaFuel once [[AllCGICartoon it entered 3D]]. Not ''all'' of these videos are of kids shows, though the vast majority of them are.
34* ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'' has a recurring gag where a Mr Roger's-like host is seen reading the end of a children's book and then giving a moral to the story such as "never go outside".
35* Brazilian Website/{{Tumblr}} [[http://porramauricio.tumblr.com/ Porra, Maurício!]] gets panels from ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' and sees them as perverted content. Among the running gags are [[BlackIsBiggerInBed Jeremiah having a]] GagPenis (as well as having him and Taka as {{Memetic Molester}}s), Bucky being AmbiguouslyGay, and resident BigEater Maggy being portrayed as a junkie. Though sometimes it's just "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" (such as [[http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzsn3x93yR1qbnzf6o1_500.jpg this]], where Chuck Billy's girlfriend Rosie Lee reveals somehow her face changed to Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio's -- ItMakesSenseInContext)
36* From Creator/{{Dropout}}/[=CollegeHumor=]: "[[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1941782 ConquistaDora the Explorer]]". [=ConquistaDora=] teaches children how to enslave and conquer the tribes of the new world for the royal kingdom of Spain.
37* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared''[[note]]As seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ&feature=channel_video_title here]].[[/note]] starts off like your typical EdutainmentShow in the style of ''Sesame Street'', with colorful, cuddly puppets and a "teacher" singing about their respective themes such as creativity, love, and healthy eating. However, it gradually becomes clear everything isn't what it seems, as the "teachers" are revealed to either have ulterior motives or have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, and eventually subject the main trio to horrible punishments as the episode slips into pure SurrealHorror. (With sarcastic BritishHumour and satire sprinkled in, too)
38* The ''Website/SCPFoundation'' plays host to [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-993 SCP-993]], a cartoon show called "Bobble the Clown" broadcast by an unknown station. Anyone over the age of ten suffers a splitting headache and falls unconscious when trying to watch the show; anyone under the age of ten is subject to [[HarmfulToMinors watching Bobble teaching them how to do horrible things]], like kidnap an ordinary suburbanite and [[ImAHumanitarian cook his flesh]], stalk and murder a London woman, or torture a prisoner of war. Alarmingly enough, [[spoiler: [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Bobble is aware]] that the SCP Foundation is trying to keep his show from being broadcast, and has produced an episode showing kids how to release several of the Foundation's more dangerous specimens and murder the researchers keeping him contained.]]
39* The [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WXvsl8xgRxc "Counting Song"]] by Adam Buxton begins like a song teaching numbers to young children and suddenly turns into an increasingly desperate rant against the [[GrowingUpSucks life of an adult]].
40* Done a few times on ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
41** The ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'' [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail84.html kids' book]] has Strong Bad "write a children's book." Which means he steals a book called "Everyone Is Different" from his brother and turns things like "Some people are very tall. Quincy is very tall." into "Some people are very tall and merciless. Quincy is [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever destroying San Antonio]]" with a black Sharpie.
42** Another Strong Bad Email [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail110.html suggests]] that Strong Bad get his own children's show. He then explains why he's not 'cut out for that kind of sugarjob.'
43--->'''Strong Bad:''' [[DepravedKidsShowHost Look, the Cheat is behind the freakin' box]]! (RecordNeedleScratch) ''[[RageBreakingPoint He's behind the box!!]]'' '''''[[IllKillYou I'll kill ya]]! [[ComicalOverreacting I'll kill all your dogs!!!]]'''''\
44(''cut back to Strong Bad in front of the Compy'')\
45'''Strong Bad:''' So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see]].
46** One of the shorts released as "Decemberween in July" has Strong Bad giving the same treatment he did to "Everyone is Different" to a holiday-themed kids' book called "That Time Of Year".
47--->'''Old Version:''' Greta is making cookies. When will they be done?\
48\
49'''Strong Bad:''' Greta is [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior feeding the mouse bug spray]]. [[BlackComedy When will he be done for?]]
50* [[https://vimeo.com/4685463 Uncle Ray's House]] IS a fictional show that would be appropriate for little ones. But there's a TwistEnding that makes this innocent video this trope[[note]]The intro gets interrupted by a news bulletin [[DepravedKidsShowHost revealing Uncle Ray to be a sex offender]], afterwards Uncle Ray finishes the song and notices a news ticker at the bottom of the screen warning the viewer that he's wanted by the police before [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately running out of his house]][[/note]].
51* ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' creator Fred Perry did an animation of the "You Are a Pirate" song from ''Series/LazyTown'' that was filled to the brim with sexual innuendoes. Needless to say, it's kind of NSFW.
52* Creator/SethMacFarlane's ''Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy'' includes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj78yCaumpc one episode]] where [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote finally kills that Roadrunner]]. And then has an identity crisis as he doesn't know what to do with his life after that.
53* This is the central element in the "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-almighty-loaf--2 Almighty Loaf]]" meme, which takes a talking loaf of bread from a direct-to-video Christian-themed children's show, and turns it into a demonic harbinger of evil who speaks with the voice of the Lord of Darkness himself:
54-->'''The Almighty Loaf:''' [[Film/{{Legend 1985}} Even now, the evil seed of what you've done]] ''[[Film/{{Legend 1985}} germinates]]'' [[Film/{{Legend 1985}} within you.]]
55* [[Creator/{{Tomska}} Magical]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vrnJp5GcKQ Dream Bed]] starts out sweet and innocent. Then the jet fighters show up, and it all goes out the window.
56* There are plenty of online fan works that take children's cartoons and turn them into this, be it fan art or fan fiction or even a video. Whether it's played for [[RuleOfFunny laughs]] or for [[RuleOfDrama horror/tragedy]] varies.
57* ''Fuwa Fuwa Foof'':
58** ''Fuwa Fuwa Foof'' is a concept for an animated show made by Kyra Kupetsky (who later created ''WebAnimation/ChiknNuggit''), with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjGpzhcnA64 a hypothetical opening sequence]] uploaded to Website/YouTube. It's about an [[BunniesForCuteness adorable bunny]] named Foof... [[CuteIsEvil who used to be a ruthless gang leader]]. She had retired, but her old cohorts Giri Giri and Kiri Kiri are trying to get her back into her former life of crime and debauchery.
59** On top of that, there's the song used for the video, "[=ChuChu=] Lovely [=MuniMuni=] [=MuraMura=] [=PrinPrin=] Boron Nururu [=ReroRero=]" by Music/MaximumTheHormone. Not only is it deceptive by starting off like a cutesy pop-rock tune and then turning into death metal a few seconds in, but the Japanese-language lyrics are about child kidnapping, rape and pedophilia, and the song is often interpreted as a commentary on the sexualization of minors in anime and manga.
60* This trope is present in many of the ''Scientifically Accurate'' videos, which take children's media, a lot of them starring anthropomorphic animals, and tear them apart by demonstrating what the shows would be like if they were way more realistic. Results are often violent, nauseating, and/or NSFW. One particularly sickening example is ''Scientifically Accurate WesternAnimation/CatDog'', which portrays the titular characters as a cat and a dog surgically grafted together by an insane surgeon to present as a show idea to an [[TakeThat extremely unflattering]] take-off of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} called Nickel''odious''.
61* The infamous [[YouTubeKidsChannel Elsagate]] phenomenon: Website/YouTube videos showing kids' favorite characters, such as [[CrossoverShip Elsa and Spider-Man]], in violent, vulgar, or otherwise screwed up situations. You can find more information about them on their entry on WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids.
62* The journalist and blogger Mr Moth created a series of Twitter posts "[[https://twitter.com/i/moments/889155640173760514 Today on Octonauts...]]", a series of plot synopses from a very different version of ''WesternAnimation/TheOctonauts''. In this version, Kwaazi is a [[HumanoidAbomination Felinoid Abomination]], Shellington is an {{Apocalypse Cult}}ist, Barnacles can only barely keep his [[CarnivoreConfusion carnivorous instincts]] under control, Tweak has become some kind of invisible spirit, Professor Inkling is a MadScientist, Peso is an ActionSurvivor, and the Vegimals are a SlaveRace and occasional food source. (Dashi ... [[DemotedToExtra is also there]].) Even the episodes that aren't following the CosmicHorrorStory arc have descriptions like "Today on Octonauts, during a two-day party, the gang accidentally kill a narwhal and have a torrid time covering it up when the cops arrive". Beginning in 2020 he followed it up with [[https://twitter.com/ManOnThe100/status/1322898638910226433 a version of]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Chuggington}}'' in which the Chuggers are "monsters who thirst for blood and oil", and the UnfortunateImplications of the show's fetishisation of work are lampshaded.
63-->Today on Chuggington: Koko has to work while suffering undiagnosed PTSD, the solution to which is simply "get over it".
64-->This, incidentally, is literally the plot of the episode "Slow coach Koko", I have grown lazy.
65* The Japanese video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSER3yml1iM Pokopokopikotan]]" is basically this trope in a nutshell. It starts off with two girls who wouldn't look out of place in a preschooler-aimed show, running around and playing in their brightly colored world. Then a human hand appears and starts corrupting the world a bit, and [[FromBadToWorse things only get worse from there...]]
66* The Web Cartoon ''WebAnimation/WTF101'' could best be described as a DeconstructiveParody of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus''. The teacher, rather than a charming eccentric, is a deranged misanthrope on par with [[Franchise/RickAndMorty Rick Sanchez]], her "class" is really just detention for a bunch of troublemakers and delinquents in a low-income high school, and her lessons are shown to be highly traumatic to said students, both due to being dragged across the space-time continuum, and the fact said lessons involve things like parasites, the dark side of cute animals, and the histories of self-experimentation and bad ideas.
67--->'''Prof. Foxtrot:''' Stop with the screaming! I've only shrunk you down and transported you half-way around the world.
68* Some episodes of ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded'' take on children's movies, including several ''Creator/{{Pixar}}'' films and ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', and twist their endings in a way that would confuse the target audience for the original films (like the ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' one being a metaphor for mental insanity). Also, quite a few have violence, like the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' spoof ending with [[spoiler: Andy crashing his car]] and ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' spoof having a scene in which the Wicked Witch [[spoiler: is shot with a gun by one of her flying monkeys]].
69* AOK has a series called ''WebAnimation/AOKRuinsYourChildhood'' that parodies popular children's cartoons, but makes them adult in tone. For instance, ''WebAnimation/DoraTheGrownUp'' deals with Dora navigating through problems young adults commonly face while constantly BreakingTheFourthWall about every situation she encounters (for instance, "Have you ever woken up 5 days a week to go to a job you hate?") and teaching the viewer Spanish words related to the situation, often causing bad things to happen to her because of how weird she acts around other people. Other parodies in this series have included ''WebAnimation/CaillouTheGrownUp'', ''[[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents Very Off Parents]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Muppet Elderlies]]'', ''WebAnimation/AdultArthur'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas The Tank Engine: Origins]]''.
70** Another AOK video not under the ''Childhood Ruined'' label, ''Patty Cake'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maJ3_9SmlVw is also this trope]]. The video starts out similar to toy-based cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' and ''Toys/{{Shopkins}}'', until [[spoiler: Patty Cake gets cut into pieces for her human partner's friends to eat]].
71* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DanielTigerConspiracy/comments/a71k2b/saw_daniel_fixes_trolley_but_my_brain_said_daniel/ "Daniel Solves The Trolley Problem"]] is a fake transcript for a ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' episode based on the Trolley Problem, with the strategy song being about life or death situations rather than the coping skills they're usually known for.
72* ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'' has an in-universe example that's a mix of this and WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids. Junior, an elementary schooler, enjoys the show ''Doofy the Dragon'', in which a puppet sings songs that start out innocent, but turn out to be inappropriate, with the lyrics mentioning death before [[TheyKilledKenny Doofy tries to kill himself]].
73* ''Thingu'' (no link because it keeps getting taken down for IP infringement and put back up again). ''Film/TheThing1982'' (a movie set in Antarctica which is notorious for its excessive amounts of violence and BodyHorror) remade in claymation with the cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'' (a cute claymation show aimed at kids featuring a cast of Antarctic animals). Need one say more?
74* The animated web video ''WebAnimation/MongolianErectileDysfunction'' is a mature parody of the classic Tootsie Pop commercial. It includes Mr. Owl attempting to masturbate before the boy interrupts him to ask how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop and has Mr. Turtle depicted as a pedophile wanting to molest the boy. The short also features Mr. Owl swearing constantly and ends with him committing suicide.
75* ''WebAnimation/ObjectTerror'' has a really cute style, lovable characters and, well, {{Gorn}}. Not just that, but alcohol, sex, swearing and further more.
76* The ''Feisty Pets'' episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUUm6S_j7h8 "Feisty Pets Invade Disney!"]] contains a parody of "It's A Small World" called "It's A Feisty World" that is about disgusting and violent topics rather than the peace and harmony themes of the original song.
77* Creator/BrockBaker has done a few videos delving into this, including one where WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} threatens Damian [[LetsPlay/{{Pwnage}} "Makemebad35"]] Saunders-Baron over money Goofy lent him, culminating in him, Franchise/MickeyMouse, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, and Franchise/WinnieThePooh threatening Damian with violence; the foursome swearing; [[TooKinkyToTorture Goofy getting off on pain]]; and the implication that Goofy killed Clarabelle Cow, turned her into his shoes and later fed parts what was left of her to Damian. Baker later used his impressions in a recreation of a scene in ''Film/Joker2019'', more specially, the scene of [[spoiler:Arthur Fleck killing Murray Franklin with Goofy as Arthur, Winnie as Franklin, and WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} as Dr. Sally]] and another video by Baker sees Goofy try to threaten Damian into getting Creator/DisneyPlus.
78* ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'' is a colorful AffectionateParody of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise, and the first video, "Ghost", just seems like a fun romp where some meddling kids get tangled up in spooky shenanigans... until it's revealed that the VengefulGhost chasing them is the Fred stand in, who was [[spoiler:killed by his possessed friend]]. Later videos play out more like an anime, featuring a BigBadEnsemble out to violently kill the gang, and the songs used for the videos also contain profanity -- in particular, "Ghost" has a scene that highlights the song's PrecisionFStrike.
79* ''WebVideo/{{Petscop}}'' seems to be the type of game you might have played in your childhood going by the first level- cute pets to catch, puzzles, and a happy atmosphere- but when Paul enters the cheat code he found and exits the level, he finds himself in a dark void/grassland, and as the game progresses it becomes more [[NothingIsScarier subtly creepy]] and depressing with themes and allusions to child abuse. Also, there is [[PrecisionFStrike infrequent but strong swearing]], both from Paul and from the game itself.
80* ''WebVideo/SuperMarioRichie'', with its use of colourful thumbnails and seemingly kid-friendly plushies, this trope would seem to apply, especially considering the fact that series such as “Path of the Psycho” and “Thug Life” contain graphic violence with blood, profanity, and scenes of alcohol, drug and tobacco usage.
81* The official 20th Century Fox channel released a "Franchise/{{Predator}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVrRjt69lhU Holiday Special"]] featuring said hunter alien rampaging through a ''Rudolph''-like stop motion North Pole.
82* [[https://youtu.be/F8FsxFghdgk/ Bad Abc]] looks like a seemingly normal video of a cartoony character saying the ABC's. Then it ends with [[FatBastard the man]] [[PrecisionFStrike telling the viewer to suck his dick while calling them a "motherfucker"]] and [[FlippingTheBird giving them the finger]].
83* WebAnimation/CasVanDePol produces colourful, comedic abridged recap cartoons of family films... Which feature tons of {{Gorn}} and VulgarHumor. Many of the videos begin with the disclaimer "NOT "made for kids"!", though that hasn't stopped Cas from having problems with the Website/YouTube algorithms directing his content towards [=YouTube=] Kids.
84* ''WebAnimation/TheKidAndTheCamera'' starts out playing as if it was a children's program from the 90's starring a cheerful boy named Cailen who after accidentally breaking a camera he got on his 6th birthday, meets a fairy known as the Cipsneed who says he can fix Cailen's broken camera. [[spoiler:However, the "Cipsneed" is actually a human kidnapper who lures Cailen to his heavily implied death; with the story format going from a kid's show style to a crime horror story format instead as the ending approaches.]]
85* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw4LstqkNcw Natsumi Step!]]'' is a Japanese flash animation created in 2003, involving an adorable girl named Natsumi Andoh and adorable critters like cats and dogs, and there is also a catchy pop music playing in the background(which it doesn't play at the bonus part). there were 2 flashbacks of her breaking up with her boyfriend at the beginning of the video, the cat captain turns out to be a [[spoiler:reaper]], and [[spoiler:drove Natsumi Andoh to hell]] when Natsumi waves goodbye to the cute critters. There was also a part of the video that has her name in it, and says that [[spoiler:she would die in 7/20 at 23:36 PM, which means she committed suicide and died in this video]]. At the bonus, you can see Natsumi Andoh holding a crowbar and she is crying, and it ends. When you click "play" again, [[spoiler:she will look creepy and she may look like she would kill you with a crowbar, the meaning of this is that she has killed her boyfriend, and that's why she went to hell]], it says end again.
86* [[https://youtu.be/z1h5iC2XO-o This infamous video]] known to the public as "Creator/{{Qubo}}'s final minutes on the air -- 2/27/2021" depicts how Qubo apparently shut down - various Qubo characters being massacred by firing squad one by one on a hellish red background. Please note that this video is a hoax and, being a children's channel, isn't how Qubo pulled the plug.
87* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ-WCMoMJ2A Mr. Samuel's Teatime Stories]] is a 4-part Youtube series which is, to quote the videos' description: "In a wonky universe set within the fake walls of an old abandoned children’s TV show, Mr Samuel and his friends - peculiar, ugly puppets navigating the strange thing that is time - attempt to make sense of it all through stories, songs and arduous loops of nonsensical chores." Said wonky universe gradually deteriorates more and more each episode, and the series trades the use of jumpscares and blood that's often seen in these types of videos for a bittersweet, existentialist tone.
