Nanalan as possibly the best Canadian
TV show marketed towards preschoolers with a runtime of under
three minutes of all time. I mean, come on, just
listen to this theme song. ["La la la!" looping endlessly
over discordant percussion] ["Nana!"] ["Ooh, big hugs."] [dog barking] [dissonant music continues,
character makes excited noises] [heavenly choir sings "Nanalan!"] [laughter] Nanalan was on in a point in my childhood
where I had a pretty short attention span. Despite its short run
time, I was always like "What the fuck, get
back to my Pokemon!" [Brock] Hey, I know! I'll
use my trusty frying pan... ... as a drying pan! [YMS] It was a show that existed
to fill up time in between shows. Although I'm not sure why they
didn't just throw in some more Concerned Children's
Advertisers PSAs. Anybody remember those? Oh wait, they were
only in Canada right? You know what, before
we get into Nanalan, I really wanna talk about
these for a second. One of them had a talking TV that
was really cool and friendly, and then he starts over-glorifying
TV like it's the best thing ever. [TV] You get to choose from
all kinds of neat stuff! Funny shows! Nature shows! Shows
about people all over the world! [YMS] And by the end of it he's like "Oh by the way you can also
go outside if you wanted to." [TV] You've got books and sports,
and you can go outside and play! [YMS] Like apparently the whole point of
it with to ensure that children didn't spend too much time
in front of the TV, but it wound up having the
exact opposite effect because they didn't understand
how children's minds worked. When I was a kid I watched this shit
and was like "Yeah TV IS the best!" And then there's one that just
fucked with me for so long. [Narrator] The North American house
hippo is found throughout Canada and the Eastern United States. The favorite foods of the house
hippo are chips, raisins, and the crumbs from
peanut butter on toast. [YMS] When I was a kid I remember
watching this shit and being like "Oh I hope I see a house hippo
someday!" And wouldn't you know it, at the very end of it they finally make
their point without actually explaining it in a way that a child would understand. [Narrator 2] That looked really... real. But
you know it couldn't be true, didn't you? That's why it's good to think about what
you're watching on TV, and ask questions. Kind of like you just did. [YMS] Congratulations, you spread
misinformation into the minds of every single Canadian child. I probably could've titled
this video "Thoughts on nineties Canadian
children's programming" but that didn't sound as good. Fuck it. Back to Nanalan. So here's
the deal, you got a little girl, she's three years old and she's always
got a stupid-ass look on her face. Like every single episode she's just in her
backyard looking at shit and everything she comes across as the most magical thing
in the world. Which makes enough sense, I mean she's three years old, but holy shit
is it ever entertaining for immature, crazy people like me. Watching it as a kid, I was like "Ehhhh" but
the show seriously get so much better once you're an adult, and also an alcoholic. Alright so most of you probably think I've
completely lost my mind at this point, and that may be true, but just let it be
known that their proper ways and improper ways to watch this show. Step one: find some friends. If you don't
have any friends right now there are a few ways to solve this issue. Why not just join a group that doesn't
turn away anyone? Maybe you could stop being
such a fucking bully! Step two: Get absolutely shitfaced.
Now that you've acquired your friends and/or imaginary friends, it's
time to get absolutely trashed! Please drink responsibly. Alternatively, you can just sneak into a frat
party and pretend like you're one of them. Step 3: Recognize the implications. Now this show would have you believe that
it's just about a three-year-old girl discovering the world in her backyard, but that's not as fun so
let's over interpret it! [X-Files theme plays] Alright, so Mona has a dog, and
anybody watching the show might think that the dog's name is Russer. [Mona, whispered] Russer. [dog barks] Russer! Russer... [distantly] Russer... Russer... Russer. Russer...! [incomprehensible, repeated
"Russer" over dog barking] Russer! Russer!! Russer!!! [softly] Russer...? Russer. Russer! Russer! Russer...! Russer... Russer. Russer! Russerrrrr!! [whimpered] Russer...? Russer...? Russer... Russer! Russer? Russer! Russer!! Russer. Russer! Russer. Russer. Russer! Russer. RUUUSSSEEERRRR!!!! RUSSIA RUSSER RUUUSSSSEEERRRR [YMS] But contrary to popular
belief, his name's Russell. And wouldn't you know it, he looks
exactly like a Jack Russell Terrier. If you rearrange the letters in Jack
Russell Terriers, you'll see that it spells out "Carl's Junior likes tererus." Illuminopily confirmed. You got something to say
for yourself, Carl's Jr.? Looks like the only thing I'll ever be
ordering from you again is a Double Western with a side order of freedom fries. Now some people might think that the
main character Mona is not actually a three-year-old girl, but is an old man. And although that would explain why she's
so BALD, I think my interpretation of the show explains a lot more than
that. Alright, so why is it that we ever
seen Mona and her grandmother? I think it's possible that her
grandmother now has custody. Perhaps Mona's parents were abusive.
Perhaps they both tragically died in a car accident. What if the opening title sequence is
Mona reliving that very day of tragedy? Notice how it starts out with her in bed.
During the rest of this opening title sequence she is actually still asleep. This
is just one of many nights where she's consumed by nightmares
reliving that horrific event. She experiences the day as though it
were like normal... taking a bath with her clothes on, eggs and bread
flying solemnly through the air [Mona] BREKFAS! [YMS] ...until we see her
in the back seat of a car. We can imagine that her parents
are probably sitting up front. The evidence of a car accident is
represented by a sign crashing straight through her window. The fact that they use the split road
sign is supposed to represent that her parents are now both split in half. And what does the car crash turn into?
Life with Nana, who is now completely responsible for Mona. But unfortunately Nana is an alcoholic.
She doesn't wanna look after Mona, she just wants to drink her life away. So she lets the dog look after her
instead. This works for some time but eventually Mona got sick of playing
outside. But Nana wasn't about to let Mona ruin her
drinking alone time. So to ensure that she always managed
to stay occupied in the backyard, Nana started secretly spiking Mona's orange
juice with high doses of LSD. The reason why Mona looks as though
she is always high as fuck, is because she is always high as fuck. Her pupils have gotten so large that her
eyes are now all pupil. Her scleras may still exist but they are far from
being visible. And now she's forced to live her life
aimlessly in the backyard of Nana's house, but also have
the best time ever. [dog barking] [psychedelic music plays] Step four: Set the video
speed to 50 percent. If you listen to all of these instructions,
this last crucial step really ties everything together. If all instructions are followed
properly, then your end result should look something like this: [YMS] Life with PTSD. She's got Stockholm Syndrome! [group begins laughing] [laughter intensifies,
distant banging is heard] [laughter begins to sound
like collective sobbing] [Friend, through laughter] Oh my God! [YMS] I like to think, like, the
little girl's parents died, and this grandma [inturrupted by friend's laughter] --she, she thought like, "I'm at that
point where I can just kick back, get drunk, and then not deal with the
rest of my life," and then they're like "Oh you have to take care of this kid" and
she's like "I'll just leave her outside." So she can just get drunk all day inside,
and then just every once in a while she'll just... be
like "Here, have this random fucking thing, go entertain yourself." And she just keeps her sedated, on
constant doses on LSD, [friend laughs] so she can get drunk by herself. Dude, she is focusing
in harcore into this nut. [group laughs] [Friend] So long! Ahah! [Friend] Seriously-- [cut
off by group laughter] [Friend] That was like, [intelligible] [laughter] [friend] She's tripping balls. [laughter] [laughter] [Friend] I just had a magical experience. [Nana, slowly] Is it a picture of a flower? [laughter] [Mona, over laughter] No. [Nana] Git away. [laughter] [YMS] There's a secret
sadness to this show. [Nana] I-- eh-- eh-- can I
see your picture? [laughter] [Mona] No. [Nana] Uh wuh luh
[???] see your picture? [Nana] Is it albost done? [laughter] [Nana] Is albost done?! [Nana] Can I see your picture?! [Nana] Oooouuuuhhh! [Nana softly moans] [laughter] [Nana] Oooohhh...! [?????] [Nana] Hmmm-kay, lemme take
a look at your picture...! [laughter] [Nana] Hooooh! That's da most beautiful
bicture ever. [laughter continues] [Mona] Nana...! [Nana] Issat a picture of me?? [laughter] [Nana] OOUUUUUHHHHHHH!!! [Nana] That's so [???] [continued laughter] Now, there are some questions about the
Nanalan universe that remain unanswered. Notice the snail's placement right
in front of the duck's lower half. Could this be a metaphor for something
that Mona are repressed in her past? And just what about this shot?
What exactly does this mean? We may not be able to find all of
the answers hidden in the show, but one thing here is certain: Canadian children's programming

Oh my god. That face is simultaneously adorable, creepy, and the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Watch the whole thing, or everything on his channel. YMS has really good content.
I absolutely lost my shit. When the grandma puppet started talking. Dear lord, I wasn't prepared.
This guy has a hilarious review of After Earth on his channel that is like as long as the movie and much more entertaining. He has a knack for pointing out the little inconsistencies and ridiculous parts.
this is so bizarre hahaha
The black eyes really sell dilated pupils, haha.
I forgot how retarded that show was.
I love Nanalan! http://youtu.be/4vciTY1agvM
