time to get conspiratorial welcome to watchmojo.com fan theories for this list we're looking at fan theories surrounding our favorite innocent cartoon shows or animated films no matter how much weight they have to them warning this video may or may not ruin your childhood number 20 economic depression scooby-doo where are you he wanted to scare us off so you could pick up the land cheap done it too if you kids hadn't come along perhaps it wasn't just the monsters that mystery Incorporated how to be afraid of according to one theory the original scooby-doo series was actually set during a time when the economy had gone bust things were so dire that even well-known individuals like celebrities intellectuals and so forth became criminals to survive the desperate financial climate all while dressing up as creatures so that the blame would not be put on them it might sound like a stretch but you got to admit there were a lot of abandoned buildings and downtrodden areas on that show sign of the times well the tracks clearly number 19 claw is gadget Inspector Gadget this fan theory is a shot to the heart of this light-hearted cartoon about everyone's favorite robotic detective a theory in question states that dr. claw is actually the real or at least the original Inspector Gadget who supposedly died via an explosion his genius niece penny then created a robotic replicas out of grief it's time to throw in the spot this would explain why gadget pretty much always escapes from the villains clutches unscathed you wouldn't want to actually harm his own niece and only wants to destroy his mechanical replacement it also explains why we never actually see dr. Claus face nein bill Dauterive is Bobby Hill's father king of the hill Bobby do you take Luanne to be your lawful wedded wife to have and to hold to love and to cherish till death do you part yes to me it's fair to say that not all children turn out like their parents whether it's an appearance or personality but when it comes to Hank and Bobby the difference is like night and day along with how dissimilar they are fans of the show have pointed out that there are hints that bill might actually be Bobby's biological father my dad didn't buy me a car when I turned 16 he sold me one and it was a lemon taught me the value of a dollar my dad never sold me anything you've got the physical likeness and the fact that the two spent so much time together bonding not to mention the little fact that Hank has a rather narrow urethra which the hills were originally told meant that they could never have children damn Hank you may be the king but from the sounds of it someone got with your queen the lab reports confirm it although I suspected as much when it took you 30 minutes to produce a urine sample hey you want it done quick or you want it done right Hank please calm down number 17 The Flintstones live in the future the Flintstones stop joking me if you thought bedrocks favorite family was kicking it back in the Stone Age then this theory will make you think again evidence for this one comes from the 1978 TV movie The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones where a malfunction with a time machine leads to of animations most beloved families to share the screen I think daddy's got a new favorite now mom how does this support the theory well the time machine was created by Elroy Jetson to bring his family to the future that is further in time than the future in which they already live but what if the machine actually worked their out of the past all right some kind of crazy flying nuts you know the Jetsons live in the sky and perhaps they're doing that to avoid the nuclear wasteland below that's been brewing into another Stone Age maybe we've gone so far into the future the time you started all over again I wonder if they know any other words that means the Flintstones is actually set in a post-apocalyptic future instead of thousands of years in the past number 16 Nazi propaganda the Tom and Jerry franchise [Music] you know the drill Tomcat tries his best to take out his mousy nemesis Jerry with all manner of nefarious and ill-conceived ideas but were you aware that these two are the physical representation of countries that's right someone out there posted a theory that states Tom and Jerry represent the Tommies and Jerry's also known as the British and the Germans during the early years of World War two so if you put that into context we've been watching Nazi Germany outdo the Brits with their superior intelligence all these years number 15 peach Creek is purgatory Edie Edie and Eddie did you ever wonder why we never saw ed ed and Eddie's parents and why they were perpetually stuck in the cul-de-sac well this theory says it's because they're all stuck in purgatory I was passed amendment by mother every child should start their day by completing to pass it upon the Bizon parents no we're not kidding each character apparently died as a child at different points in time and now remains confined to their suburban afterlife for example rolf spends most of his time with farm animals because he died in 1903 Eddy is so obsessed with money and wealth because he died during the Great Depression and Edie loves comic books so much because he died right as their popularity soared near the end of the Second World War number 14 post-traumatic stress disorder the Donald Duck franchise [Music] it's no secret that Donald doesn't exactly have the best temperament and that he goes on the odd rant every now and again while most of us just find it funny and associated with his character some have claimed that his escalating rage is a result of his PTSD how did he get such a thing well as the Second World War paratrooper poor old Donald was used for plenty of military propaganda back in the day with one cartoon showing him fighting against the Japanese by himself that's bound to drive anyone over the edge number thirteen Charlie Brown is dying of cancer the peanuts franchise you thought Charlie Brown was just an unlucky kid who happen to have a receding hairline actually according to this theory he's got terminal cancer would you like to buy a nice Christmas wreath Merry Christmas anyway sir god bless us everyone not horrific ly dark enough for you the reason he always seemed so down in life doesn't seem to give him a break is that his adventures and entire life are all an illusion in other words nothing but a dream created out of sadness for his brief existence just can't see me do anything each of his failures is just his own misery manifesting itself try to watch any Charlie special now without feeling hollow inside I think I need help hmm everything I do turns to failure number 12 shared universe Samurai Jack crossovers are nothing new and if fans even get a whiff that some of their favorite cartoons are entangled in some subtle or overt way you can be sure they will find evidence of it given the history of Cartoon Network's properties making random cameos between shows it's no surprise people latched on to this particular theory which is that apparently everyone's favorite time-traveling samurai was roaming around the post-apocalyptic but past version of Townsville this whole time given the identical landmarks seen throughout some episodes the idea certainly has some merit meanwhile there are others who insist that Jack and professor utonium are the same person oh man time travel makes our head spin hush now you just let your professor USA take care of this number eleven wall-e doomed the earth wall-e while he's a lovesick robot that travels the Stars to be with the one he loves and has a voice that just makes you want to pinch his metallic cheeks oh well what you didn't know about him is that this little guy actually doomed the planet [Music] didn't you wonder why the planet was covered in garbage at the beginning of the Pixar flick that's because according to this theory wall-e destroyed all of the other robots took what he needed from their bodies to fix himself up kept certain items of trash to decorate his home instead of compacting them and left the robot corpses of his fellow brethren scattered across the wasteland that was once earth thanks Wally number 10 mr. Crocker's ulterior motives The Fairly OddParents brace yourself people because this one is bleak some fans theorize that Cosmo and Wanda could actually be metaphors for antidepressants well this theory takes things a step further by stating that they are delusions of timmy turner's actual deceased godparents do you feel Timmy learned a huge life lesson without us maybe it would be better if we didn't exist he imagines them watching over him and granting his wishes all in a bid to keep himself happy since his real parents don't care about him he has one heck of a volatile babysitter and mr. Crocker schemed to capture his fairy godparents is in reality just him making sexual advances on Timmy stupid costume number nine Winnie and Friends mental disorders the Winnie the Pooh franchised the classic tales of Pooh Bear and his friends are beloved by children and adults everywhere this makes things especially lovely considering this theory in which the timeless characters have each been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder we are not joking goes like this Pooh is impulsive with obsessive fixations so cool a piglet has general anxiety Tigger has ADHD why that's what Tiggers do best owl is dyslexic rabbit has OCD and not surprisingly your is a major depressive we could have seen the Eeyore one coming but does this maybe mean Christopher Robin is their therapist number eight pinky is the genius pinky in the brain just one question though yes pinky where are we going to get all those harmonicas how can one of cartoons most lovable idiots possibly be smarter than the megalomaniacal Mouse who dreams of taking over the world well what if the brain is so loco in the head that all his thoughts of world domination are the result of madness we shall found the nation that nation shall be called Romania the pair's endeavors could be nothing more than delusions in his oversized head but even if they aren't you only need to look a little more closely to see that more often than not it's pinky's observations and comments that make the most logical sense compared to the brain's ramblings one is a genius the other is insane but which is which I have obtained this rare prototype dilithium matrix chip if you did pinky your dippy brains would be the perfect accompaniment number seven the Pokemon war Pokemon [Music] for an anime about fighting pocket monsters it doesn't really seem to be any horrific Allah mature content in Pokemon at least as far as the original season is concerned or is there according to this theory the amount of gym leaders and organized crime plus the fact that Ash and Gary are both missing parents is because they are the generation born after a terrible war fought with Pokemon you think you can play with the big boys homes right while this creepypasta may seem more concrete with the video games it does raise some interesting points where is Ash's dad anyway don't you know I'm a big kid now number 6 Timmy's on antidepressants The Fairly OddParents I don't see a smiling face no we're not done with Fairly OddParents just yet while you may have thought that timmy turner was a lucky little boy with fairy godparents that could grant his every wish hello Timmy shall we go for a ride this theory proposes what you were actually seeing was a metaphor for Timmy taking antidepressants to ensure he made it through the day how does this make sense well this theory states that this scenario is possible because the godparents only appear when Timmy's life starts to take a tumble but they aren't around when he doesn't need them you're a freedom fighter on top of this too much use of their magic is shown to have disastrous results on Timmy personally for other people's property number 5 comatose ash the Pokemon franchise and I hereby declare to the Pokemon of the world I will master a lot of entries on this list involved the fantastical elements of their respective shows being nothing more than figments of the imagination I did it well this one deals with an entire world being made up in the mind of a comatose Ash Ketchum you really saved us ash no way we did it together one theorist makes the point that the tone of Pokemon became much lighter after ash was struck by lightning in an earlier episode ever since then Team Rocket became much less menacing and the 10 year old can somehow traverse freely in the world without consequence the fact that there are multiple nurse joys and officer Jenny's plus countless other examples seems to support the idea that is dreamed to become a Pokemon master may actually just be a dream after all [Music] number four the seven deadly sins spongebob squarepants do detective work detective work I'm going undercover who woulda guessed that Bikini Bottom is most iconic residents would actually represent something as dark as the seven sins it's not all that crazy when you think about it spongebob has a lust for life while pearl is obsessed with males mr. Krabs is the greediest thing under the sea sandy takes great pride in her work Patrick vests everyone when it comes to sloth both Gary and mrs. puff have been shown to be quite gluttonous plankton is obviously envious of the Krusty Krab success and Squidward Mela we all know how wrathful spongebob makes him turns out this show attracts weird theories since there is another one that suggests these seven represent narcotics foot massage ow sorry number three all in Angelica's imagination Rugrats I'm just gonna say it true she's the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen no question about it little brother speaking of dreams in this fan theory it turns out all those adorable babies on Rugrats were nothing more than projections of a three-year-old psychological breakdown we all fought Angelica was just moody because of her age and spoiled upbringing but here it said that her attitude is actually due to the traumatic events of the Rugrats deaths [Music] yep apparently Chucky died with his mother in a crash which is why his father is always overly worried about him and Tommy was stillborn which is why uncle Stu is constantly making toys ie for the son he never had chibi has for the devil twins they were just a projection of an aborted baby so Angelica projected them as identical twins since the gender remained unknown number two there are no monsters Courage the Cowardly Dog [Music] despite his timid nature in the face of the supernatural horrors going on in the middle of nowhere courage never fails to protect his owners from the many monsters and Psychopaths that seem to come their way this would all be fine and dandy except what if they're not all as scary as he thinks they are given that he's just a dog and the world probably looks a lot different to him the entire show could be nothing more than courage as k-9 perception tricking him into thinking he and as humans are in danger when the truth is all those monsters he thinks he's seeing are just people but to be honest we're not sure if that's uplifting or even more depressing real quick-like before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications number one allegory for the Holocaust Toy Story 3 there is no doubt that the third installment of the Toy Story franchise is definitely the darkest however we bet that you wouldn't have guessed that the oscar-winning computer animated movie also seems to have some unsettling parallels to the Holocaust yeah I know it looks bad but guys gotta believe me first off the toys are forced to leave their home and then find themselves at Sunnyside daycare where they're imprisoned and routinely mistreated and injured near the film's climax there's a scene that looks like they're all about to perish in an incinerator together if you replace a few of those key characters and locations with some of the victims and perpetrators of world war ii there is definitely a disturbing similarity do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from WatchMojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos [Music]
