Top 10 Disney Channel Jokes That Would Not Work Today

the house of mouse doesn't always get it right welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 moments on disney channel that would not work today for this list we'll be looking at times that the disney channel missed the mark whether that's jokes that have no place on children's television or making light of a serious issue we will only be focusing on shows that originated on the disney channel though so any moments from series like boy mead's world haven't made the cut remember in health class that section on the movement of blood i understand it now number 10 the birds and the bees talk the suite life of zack and cody what man really knows the perfect gift here it is maddie's perfect gift with maddie's sweet 16 just around the corner zack is running out of time to find the perfect present for his crush when he turns to esteban for advice the hotel bellboy gets the wrong idea and expects a very different conversation i need to talk to you man to man well don't tell me you want to talk about the birdies and the bees don't worry big guy i already had that talk with my dad then cody shows up and says maddie had basically told him exactly what her ideal gift would be but while cody was actively listening zack's mind was very much elsewhere what was i doing when she said that staring at her thinking about that talk we had with dad oh yeah while it's likely that a younger audience would not have understood what he was alluding to we don't think reducing women to sex objects would fly on the disney channel today number 9. animated halle berry the proud family this is definitely one for the more eagle-eyed viewers or those with impressive peripheral vision something is seriously amiss a halle berry movie is playing and not a soul is here during this episode wizard kelly walks into a movie theater showing a halle berry flick the movie in question is called swordfish and the scene playing is one where barry is reading and lowers the book to reveal that she's topless of course the animated version cuts away just before she bears all but it's still a questionable choice for a children's animated series only place the wizard walks to is the bank we doubt many people noticed it but we assume some of you will probably be checking it out after this number eight shaming olive oil the suite life of zack and cody you must enable my most delightful creation i call it chef apollos most a delightful creation here's another one that probably went over your head as a kid when the tipton prepares to throw a party for boston's oldest citizen his daughter comes in to taste the food she's delighted by chef paulo's sauce and asks him what ingredients he used among the extensive list of ingredients he mentions olive oil with a questionable past olive oil virgin olive oil extra virgin olive oil olive oil with the questionable past who knew you could slut-shame oil we imagine this joke raised a few eyebrows among older viewers needless to say slut-shaming of any sort would not be acceptable now and never really should have had a place on the disney channel anyway hey you've got your quirks too zack like never washing your hands while i will after touching this gunk we got from chef paolo's kitchen number seven eating disorder joke so random angus only eats one full meal a week ask him why it's no secret that demi lovato left her disney days behind to focus on her recovery while starring on sunny with a chance she underwent treatment for physical and emotional issues which included battling an eating disorder so what should we do i don't know rather than being cancelled the sitcom became the sketch comedy variety show so random although it only ran for one season it still managed to cause controversy due to a joke about an eating disorder in an episode that's no longer approved for rebroadcast my agent's always on me about leaking my beast team believe it she sees me angry if you eat too many cabs you won't get the g orbs and i said i know sadly this wasn't the only show facing backlash for making light of eating disorders at the time but more on that later number six gluten intolerance bullying jesse you would hope that a channel beloved by children would help promote tolerance and kindness however in one episode of this comedy series we see jessie and the kids teasing stuart for being gluten intolerant with zuri even throwing a pancake at him parents of children with similar conditions that had seen the episode via video on demand were disappointed to see bullying behaviors that were all too real for their own children used as a punchline one parent even created a petition calling for disney to reassess their content and it garnered 2120 signatures disney listened to the concerns issued an apology via facebook pulled the episode and removed this storyline when it was aired on tv number five oliver is diagnosed with diabetes hannah montana this episode also didn't get past video on demand previews after parents of diabetic children voiced concern over its representation of diabetes you're kidding me right why would i kid about oliver having diabetes what while it was praised for destigmatizing the diagnosis parents did not believe the way oliver's story was told was realistic or even safe a dc spokesperson claimed that experts had been consulted during the script writing process but many thought they'd still miss the mark i guess i should have rinsed off that pamphlet before we became the food police as they headed back to the drawing board the slot was filled by an episode of jonas brothers living the dream which showed how nick manages his type 1 diabetes so to keep my body healthy on tour i have to manage my sugar intake yes check my blood sugar make sure it's all good before i go eat number four monkeying around dave the barbarian when strom makes a stop in udragoth on his dragon slaying tour dave has to protect faffy at all costs [Music] stop i beg your pardon after strom turns his attention from the dragon to dave he becomes distracted by fang's monkey when dave asks him if he's done trying to slay him he responds obviously you've never touched a monkey it's kind of addicting they even leave a beat after the joke for the double anton to really sink in we assume kids would take this joke at face value but it would definitely make older viewers hit rewind if you still don't get this joke take a beat to figure it out number three zach pretends to be dyslexic the sweet life of zack and cody chances are you only saw this episode when it aired the first time zack isn't the most studious kid so when he meets bob who is dyslexic he has a light bulb moment he pretends to be dyslexic too in order to receive special treatment so it's called dyslexia wow i never realized that other people had trouble reading the questions and getting their thoughts straight just like me uh excuse me i couldn't help overhearing did you say you have problems reading i don't like to talk about it it makes me feel bad about myself you know i'm confident adrian armante who played esteban has said that he believes the episode only ever aired twice before being scrapped for its insensitive approach to a very real learning disorder he also implied that the episode was almost scrapped in the first place proving that sometimes your gut instinct is the one to go with zach i can't believe you did this it's just you're always talking about how great cody is in school zach i'm not going to belittle cody's achievements to make you feel better number two racial and cultural stereotypes jesse in recent years the media has been getting scrutinized for the way it handles representation and diversity and the disney channel is no exception one character viewers took issue with is ravi from jessie stupid video game it is like eating hot cuddy i love it but i always get burned in the end joining the family from india the show uses any opportunity to tease him about being different this includes his accent traditional dress his pet lizard called mrs kipling and playing the sitar my playing is so brilliant it would have brought tears to his eyes i heard you practicing it sure brought cheers to mine don't worry robbie i'll go to school with you and talk to mr collinsworth i'll make sure you get a chance to be a sitar hero at one point he even exclaims i'm a human samosa we love the television shows are striving to include more diversity but there is still a right way to do it and this ain't it before we

season one episode party it up drew attention for the same thing adorable i could just eat you guys up you know if i ate what's so funny in fact it was demi lovato who took to twitter to voice her outrage about the joke especially considering that this was the precise reason she left the network she also questioned what kind of message the channel wanted to promote to its viewers disney responded to lovato with an apology pulling the episode and later re-editing it for rebroadcast we hope that these experiences help them refocus on content that provides a more positive message to their young impressionable audience do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from msmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos
