=Universal Kids (2019-present)=

Universal Kids is an American pay-television owned by the NBCUniversal Television and Streaming division of Comcast's NBCUniversal through NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. The channel is formerly known as PBS Kids Sprout and Sprout, until 2017, it became Universal Kids.

Why It Sucks So Bad Now

 * 1) Such as just like we all hated the fact that Universal Kids replaced Sprout, as Sprout continued as Universal Kids Preschool. which was a good thing. But we're talking about Universal Kids since 2019, now.
 * 2) * Since Universal Kids rebranded in 2019, they started to kill off the Sprout property in July 2019, while some Sprout shows still continued to air on the channel, until they let them die out in 2020.
 * 3) **The only time they brought back all of Universal Kids' modern preschool programming was for occasions, brought them back for Christmas 2019, and Mother's Day 2020. However, they didn't return for Christmas 2020 neither 2021 and so on, so that means that the Sprout/UKP property is completely gone.
 * 4) **It has been quite shown that Universal Kids Preschool was completely gone as their YouTube channel changed to Peacock Jr. (a kids counterpart to Peacock), along with Peacock Kids (that was DreamWorksTV YouTube channel). With the UKP YouTube gone, the main Universal Kids YT channel which was only for their live action and animation programming, is now for all of their programming.
 * 5) The channel basically is trying to get themselves shut down, almost like they have given up on even TRYING to be a good kids network like every other network like Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and Discovery Family.
 * 6) * For a start, they decide to stop developing original programming for to focus on more acquired programming by DreamWorks.
 * 7) ** Per se, most of their original programming (mainly their preschool original programming) are barely even originals, as they are from other countries like Canada and the UK, and Universal Kids just acquires them and makes it their originals. As most of them aren’t on Peacock because they haven’t truly produced them.
 * 8) * Their successful original shows like Where's Waldo? and American Ninja Warrior Junior moves to NBCU's streaming service, Peacock. Way to decrease Universal Kids' popularity.
 * 9) **Speaking of their popularity decreasing, they stop appearing in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade after 2019.
 * 10) Despite the fact that the channel is named after Universal Pictures and NBCUniversal itself, it sure isn't being treated like it's Universal, especially not their programming either, except for DreamWorks, which Universal owns. Universal Kids only associates with DreamWorks rather than Illumination (NBCU’s second animation company). Well that Illumination doesn’t make TV series, except now that they make Saturday Morning Minions, Universal Kids has never even aired anything by Illumination, except that they aired the Despicable Me Minion shorts, only for Christmas 2018 and 2019. That’s it. That’s all they aired from Illumination. Ironically though, Universal Kids gives support for Illumination on social media.
 * 11) *Even their 2017 logo had it look a lot like Universal Pictures, quite using the same font and style that the UP logo has. Till that’s gone, Kill 2 Birds makes a new logo that has no resemblance to the UP logo at all anymore. Makes it look more kid-friendly. Even the animation for it gives no style of the Universal Pictures logo.
 * 12) *NBCU doesn’t seem to give any care for Universal Kids, as on the NBC app, there is a Universal Kids section, but only Top Chef Junior is on there. But although, who even needs the NBC app when you got… you know.. Peacock?? Y’know??
 * 13) Their schedule nowadays is just nothing more than just Masha and the Bear, Mighty Mike, Cocomelon (soon to leave since it’s moved to Cartoonito US), and Trolls: The Beat Goes On. There’s also where DreamWorks Animation Television shows run all night, Mostly DWTVA shows that are originally on Netflix, Trolls: The Beat Goes On currently is the only DreamWorks show that runs on the daytime.
 * 14) It’s one of those channels that haven’t gone international, as the channel’s only watchable and notable in the United States. Although, DreamWorks has its own channel worldwide, “DreamWorks Channel”, that appears to be a copycat to Universal Kids, except that it has only DreamWorks programming, I mean, it is a DreamWorks channel, so of course it’ll only have DW programming. They even have their own PRESCHOOL BLOCK, “DreamWorks Junior”! Hope they don’t treat that badly like Universal Kids does to their own preschool property.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Universal Kids was honestly a lot better and good on their 2017-2019 era. They were honestly huge, had these big shows, while most of them were their version of main NBC shows like Top Chef Junior, American Ninja Warrior Junior, The Voice Kids, and HECK, THEY EVEN HAD NBC News for Universal Kids! It’s quite shameful that UKids had to give up on all that.
 * 2) Their rebrand is pretty decent, even their holiday rebrands are pretty cool too.
 * 3) It’s a good idea that Universal Kids airs DreamWorks shows from Netflix, since some people don’t have Netflix and they can just watch it on TV, on Universal Kids instead.
 * 4) Where’s Waldo?, Norman Picklestrips, and Powerbirds were the last good original series until Universal Kids was through with original content.

Trivia

 * 1) As it’s pretty obvious and well known, Universal Kids is named after one of the biggest movie studios, Universal Pictures.
 * 2) Their acquired programming (not including PBS Kids Sprout) have mainly been from international channels, such as CBeebies, Cartoonito UK, CBBC, and CBC Kids.
 * 3) Cocomelon and Caillou, the shows that have aired on Universal Kids, now airs on Cartoonito in the US, on Cartoon Network, While Holly Hobbie, that also aired on Universal Kids, now currently airs on BYUtv and Disney Channel. Dino Dan, that previously aired on UKids, previously aired on Nick Jr.

= Descendants: The Royal Wedding =

Descendants: The Royal Wedding is an animated television special based on the Disney Channel movie, Descendants. It serves as a continuation after Descendants 3, where Mal and Ben officially get married. It premiered on Disney Channel on August 13, 2021.

Plot
Mal and Ben are getting married, but Mal's father Hades destroys the wedding venue causing him to flee and the Descendants to have to go get Hades back for the wedding in “Disney's Descendants: Royal Wedding."

Why This Wedding Wasn't Good

 * 1) Descendants doesn't feel the same anymore after the death of Cameron Boyce, who played Carlos, especially him being absent from this special.
 * 2) *The cast confirmed that it was hard to produce this special because of Boyce gone.
 * 3) There has been controversy about Mal and Ben, who were canonically 16, then 17 in Descendants 3, feeling a bit young to be married (even though they were 1 year close to becoming 18). Although, the special has never revealed how old they are now.
 * Tho, it's pretty predictable that they were never supposed to be married at all, since that Mal had spelled Ben into loving her instead of Audrey, and he hasn’t stopped loving Mal when he washed Mal’s spell on him away in the Enchanted Lake at him and Mal’s first date, which he then finds out that Mal spelled him.
 * 1) False advertising: The second trailer "Falling in Love", where Mal has a terrible dream while Dizzy was doing her hair and makeup, in her dream, when she walks to Ben then ends up falling through the floor, then Ben turns into his beast form (because that his dad is the Beast from Beauty and the Beast) and nearly grabbed Mal. However, it wasn't even shown in the special.
 * 2) *There are also some more false advertising stuff shown in the trailers:
 * 3) **Mal saying “I think we need a bigger cake”, which there was no cake in this special
 * 4) **Hades saying “Since when do villians care about happy endings” as it predicted that he would wreck the wedding, that did happen in the special, but it wasn’t his fault.
 * 5) **Mal turning into a dragon while in her wedding outfit. Though she did turn into a dragon, but in her main outfit, while she was at the Isle
 * 6) The animation turned out very unexpected. However, it was very nicely animated in the trailer, that good animation was wasted only for the trailer. To be fair, the trailer was nothing but only the characters standing in purple-colored backgrounds. and none of the real special was shown in anything until the music video "Feeling the Love" music video released a day before the special's release.
 * 7) *The animation in the special looks very choppy, even the character's designs had downgraded a bit, they barely have the white reflections in their eyes. Unlike the trailers, they had the white reflections all the time.
 * 8) *They could've rather just used the style they used in The Planning of The Royal Wedding shorts or Descendants: Wicked World had.
 * 9) *Considering the fact that this special is 2D animated, the idea of Descendants being animated isn’t any better than Ever After High.
 * 10) **Ergo overall, Descendants is overall a ripoff of Ever After High, Mattel had the whole idea first, then Disney decides to rip off their idea because of their Disney Princess brand.
 * 11) Chad still remains as a coward, as he overreacted thinking he was on fire when he wasn’t, and as he wanted water, Hades just gives it to him due to the fact that he’s the worst. Even the VKs admit that.
 * 12) It was never explained how Maleficent still stayed as a lizard ever since Descendants 1, Mal turns her into a lizard to stop her from destroying Ben’s coronation. Since that, she had never turned back to normal ever since, as she lived with Mal, as she’s contained. And as she was absent from Descendants 3, there was no telling what happened to Maleficent then. But then in this special here, Maleficent returns and what is she now? still a LIZARD.
 * 13) Dude becomes pretty annoying as he was chasing lizard Maleficent around (tho he can't help it because his dog instincts) all the way to the wedding, till he accidentally bites Hades, causing him to lose control and destroy the wedding. Dude is quite responsible for causing that all because he was chasing Maleficent.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Good voice acting, especially from the Descendants cast.
 * 2) "Feeling the Love" was a good song.
 * 3) Funny beginning: When squirrels saw about the wedding, they run to it to go check it out, then Dude barks at them and chases them because they weren't invited.
 * 4) Interesting ending: After the wedding, the camera pans over down the hole to Wonderland, knowing that the next film will be involving Alice in Wonderland stuff.
 * 5) Disney shows respect for Cameron Boyce, as they made this special a remembrance to him.
 * 6) The trailers were nicely animated.

Trivia

 * 1) As said above, this is the first Descendants installment without Carlos and Cameron Boyce.
 * 2) This is the third animated program in the Descendants franchise, following Descendants: Wicked World, and The Planning of the Royal Wedding shorts.
 * 3) Pain and Panic, who are Hades' minions, that appeared in the special, are as humans. They are originally demonic imps from Hercules.
 * 4) As also mentioned above, the ending of the special shows the hole down the hole to Wonderland, which is from Alice in Wonderland.

Reception
This special reached 0.65 million viewers, and 0.16 of 18-49 viewers.

= “Clip Clip Hooray” (Saturday Morning Minions episode) =

”Clip Clip Hooray” is the fortieth and final episode of the online web series, Saturday Morning Minions. It released on YouTube and social media on March 5, 2022.

Plot
While the Minions are gardening, a Minion accidentally clips off another's overalls, then clips off everyone else's overalls as well.

Why It Should Get It’s Pants Clipped

 * 1) This episode is very ridiculous, especially that it has gross-out humor. What’s worse is that this is the series finale of the Saturday Morning Minions series, which this episode ends the show in a terrible way.
 * 2) *To be fair, this episode is just a random episode and the series is just random episodes, but still, this episode is totally not a good ending to the series.
 * 3) Ridiculous plot: The Minions are at their worst in this episode, After one Minion accidentally clips the other Minion’s overalls, revealing them in their underwear. And instead of apologizing to them, they laugh at them, which then gets their overalls clipped off back, which they had coming. Then it becomes a game when a bunch of other Minions laugh at them, which they get their overalls clipped off too.
 * 4) Disgusting ending: After all the Minions got their overalls clipped off, the one Minion does a twirl with the clippers then accidentally clips off its underwear. Then all the minions laugh at them. Then the minion gets an idea and  takes the game too far goes to clip off their underwear as well. 
 * 5) The Minions most likely did or didn’t get in trouble for this behavior, if they didn’t, then it would make them Karma Houdinis.
 * 6) Confusing animation logic: How can your entire overalls be cut off by just a snip of a strap on the overall?
 * 7) Some of the Minions were innocent when they didn’t do anything yet their overalls get clipped off as well.

The ONLY Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The minions didn’t want their overalls to get cut off, as they tried to run away.

Trivia

 * 1) As mentioned above, this episode is the final episode of the Saturday Morning Minions short series.
 * 2) The title “clip clip hooray” is a pun to “hip hip hooray”.
 * 3) Hence the screenshot of the episode above, the third Minion is shown to be wearing ladies’ underwear, which references the scene in the Minions movie, where Stuart the minion, takes off his overalls, and wearing ladies’ underwater to get in the hot tub.

= Lightning (Saturday Morning Minions episode) =

Lightning is the twenty-eighth episode of Saturday Morning Minions, that released on YouTube on December 11, 2021.

Plot
While it’s a dark and stormy night, the minion are scared of thunder which they all hide under one minion’s bed while the minion is trying to sleep.

Why It’s Struck By Thunder

 * 1) It’s one absolute torture episode for the minion that’s trying to sleep, as all the minions clutter under the bed all the way straight through the roof! And what’s worse is that the Minion is out in the open storm which then he gets struck by lightning not only once, but TWICE and possibly MORE TIMES after the episode ends, The poor minion could’ve been killed by the lightning!
 * 2) The minions could’ve found other places to hide besides just the one minion’s bed, under the living room couch or under some tables, or a closet, unless those were taken over by other minions and the rest of the minions had to take over hiding under the bed, or overall, they would’ve been safe right in their pods!
 * 3) Plot Hole: First of all, why is the minion sleeping in a normal bed, when the minions have sleeping pods as shown in Despicable Me 3? What’s understandable is that the one minion probably wanted peace so he asked Gru for a bedroom.
 * 4) The minion, should’ve moved somewhere else to sleep while the minions were hiding under his bed. But nope, he chose to go through the roof out in the open storm where he gets struck by the lightning. And when he gets hit, what does he do? Just rolls with it which just gets him struck more times. He even tried covering up to protect him, which doesn’t help at all.
 * 5) Although it’s pretty normal to be scared of thunder, because like it could break in the house in serious conditions, like a hurricane, or a tornado, or the lightning could strike in the house. But the minions in this episode kinda have been overdramatic there, since it was like a regular storm.
 * 6) Ironically, despite the series title being named “Saturday Morning Minions”, as the purpose of the episodes to take place every Saturday morning, this episode takes place at the nighttime, what proves it is even the Minions are at bedtime. But this ain't the only one though.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The minion did try to ask the Minions leave, until when another lightning strike, more minions run in.

= A Chewy Challenge (T.O.T.S) =

A Chewy Challenge is the second segment of the 22th episode of T.O.T.S (Tiny Ones Transport Service) alongside The Ultimate Easter Egg Hunt, it premiered on Disney Channel and Disney Junior on March 13, 2020.

Plot
Pip and Freddy must deliver Bernice, the baby beaver, who is chewing and gnawing on everything in sight.

Why This is a Chaotic Chewy Challenge

 * 1) 2 Big Plot Holes: How can a beaver literally chew through EVERYTHING, including metal, and steel? And how could everything be made out of wood?
 * 2) In real life, a beaver cannot chew through metal or steel, in fact it's what's used to keep them from gnawing on trees.
 * 3) From your point view, it's seen that it can also chew screws, nuts, and blots. But hey, this is animation logic we're talking about.
 * 4) Bernice most likely caused property damage to T.O.T.S, but she is just a baby, they don't know any better.
 * 5) The way Bernice chews through stuff makes her feel like a grinding machine, although the sound effects sound like a circular saw. This kinda makes her a dangerous beaver, especially when she's just been born!
 * 6) It's quite of torture episode for Mr. Woodbird, As he spends so much time trying to invent "unbreakable" toys for Bernice which pretty much isn't worth because Bernice will just chew them right through. It even made him feel less belief in having great ideas.
 * 7) It's quite said that he made the toys out of wood, when beavers are professionals at chewing wood!
 * 8) In the ending when Pip and Freddy deliver Bernice to her forever family, first of all, why would a beaver's house be in the river and the dam, when eventually the dem would leak and flood the home?

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It was a good idea for the Junior Fliers to deliver Bernice immediately due to her chaos and before she destroys T.O.T.S.
 * 2) The part where Freddy hugs the slide in the nursery then it broke due to Bernice chewing it down, Freddy thought it brokes because he "loved it too much" was funny.
 * 3) The idea her Mr. Woodbird to make a toy for Bernice to chew on (which is a teething toy) was pretty neat. Unfortunately, it failed.

Trivia

 * 1) This episode is a segment to the Easter special episode "The Ultimate Easter Egg Hunt".

= YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind =

YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind is a video that was uploaded to the official channel of the video-sharing website YouTube on December 6, 2018, as the ninth part of the YouTube Rewind series. By December 13, 2018, Everyone Controls Rewind had over 10 million dislikes, making it the most-disliked video on YouTube, a record that was previously held by the music video for Justin Bieber's "Baby" for over seven years.

Why This Rewind Should Be Controlled Out of Existence

 * 1) The biggest problem with this rewind is that it appears to be too cooperative, as it highlights brands and celebrities rather than YouTubers and YouTube’s actual community, as it excludes the actual popular stuff from 2018.
 * 2) As this is most known to be extremely cringeworthy, It includes the infamous appearances, who’s one for instance is Will Smith, Ninja, and Lele Pons. The former, Smith, who is a celebrity, and not a YouTuber (unlike his vlog channel), the second former, Ninja, who is a Twitch streamer, and not as much as a YouTuber, and the latter, Lele Pons, who is just generally unlikeable.
 * 3) It also includes dated and cringeworthy appearances and memes, such as Fortnite and their dances, Dame Tu Cosita, and Baby Shark.
 * 4) It doesn’t include the YouTuber who is the most popular, PewDiePie. As he didn’t appear in YouTube Rewind 2017, this just makes a huge disappointment to fans.
 * 5) It has YouTubers who are barely notable, it has over most of the YouTubers that nobody knows or even know at all.
 * 6) As said in WTRSBCOOE#1, it doesn’t include the popular trends that were actually popular on YouTube:
 * 7) PewDie vs T-Series, the subscriber competition, was not included
 * 8) KSI vs Logan Paul, the boxing match, was not included
 * 9) Shawn Dawson’s documentaries, was not included
 * 10) The death of Stefán Karl Stefánsson, who is known for playing Robbie Rotten from LazyTown, was not included.
 * 11) Cringeworthy moments that you cannot bear to see, around the animated part “In My Feelings” (by Drake) challenge, where Trevor Noah flosses and John Oliver does the “Take the L” dance, and of course, at the Futebol part, Dame Tu Cosita. And even the ending, where Will Smith looks through the binocularscope and says “Ah that’s hot”.
 * 12) The part where the crew reads the comments, which are faux, and are not confirmed where they have been said, although it’s been confirmed that they are faux comments.
 * 13) YouTube Rewind 2019, isn’t any better, as it’s the most laziest rewind made, as it’s just a copy of 2010-2011 Rewind, and just a Top 10 Video compilation that could be made by anyone.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) As PewDiePie was not included in the Rewind, Jaiden Animations snuck in PewDiePie’s chair, and a few easter eggs consisting of what Rewind was missing, and everyone applauded to her for that.
 * 2) Depending on your view, the part where the YouTubers talk about mental health can be emotional.
 * 3) The music remixes composed by The Hood Internet is excellent, depending on your view.
 * 4) Despite WTRSBCOOE#6, YouTube made a promise and added PewDiePie in Rewind 2019, but that unfortunately didn’t save the rewind.
 * 5) The only good parts in this rewind, was when Dagi Bee was marrying Bongo Cat part, the “In My Feelings” challenge part, and the Baby Shark and Happier (by Marshmello) remix.

Trivia

 * 1) As this video hit a strong dislike, PewDiePie remade the video into his version of the Rewind “YouTube Rewind 2018, but it’s actually good”, which received a strong like.
 * 2) After Rewind 2019, as people hated the Rewind, YouTube decided to discontinue YouTube Rewind, and then replace it with YouTube Escape, starting with ESCAPE2021.

= Overdue Duck (Looney Tunes Cartoons) =

= Qubo's fake shutdown hoax =

On February 27, 2021, regarding Qubo's shut down by the E.W Scripps Company, a video was recorded by Splatkid802 productions #savequbo, during Qubo's final minutes before its shut down, it contained a scene full of characters from shows that aired on Qubo, giving a message that says "Your favorite Qubo characters need YOUR help! At 11:59pm EST, Qubo will cease operations unless $2,500.00 can be raised by viewers like you. Call (248) 434-5508 and donate now!", after that each character gets their heads or faces torn off while gunshots are heard everytime. After all the all the characters were killed, a final message consists of how ungrateful viewers were and didn't help save Qubo before it shutted down, ending with a final message "This is your fault." and "Thanks for nothing."

Why We Should Be Glad This is a Hoax

 * 1) The idea of making a disturbing sequence of a channel's shutdown, especially on a children's network, is just messed up on many levels.
 * 2) As they contain characters from shows that aired on Qubo, shows like VeggieTales, Rupert, My Friend Rabbit, The Magic School Bus Rides Again, Pippi Longstocking, Postman Pat, Guess with Jess, Inspector Gadget, He-Man, Bob the Builder, Madeline, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Turbo Dogs, Fireman Sam, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Franklin, Monster Math Squad, Stickin' Around, Jakers, etc, seeing all of them get murdered is obviously very disturbing, and also traumatizing for you and your childhood.
 * 3) The sound effects which are gunshots, kinda make no sense because as the characters faces after their destruction, a bullet wouldn't do THAT much to their face, or head.
 * 4) Most of the characters are shows that Qubo lost rights to years ago, since this video was in 2021, so as it might be for nostalgic reasons, but viewers who were new to Qubo might get confused. It also includes a show like VeggieTales, that Qubo lost rights to since 2009!
 * 5) Copyrighted music used in the scene, as it's the music "Majora's Mask" from The Legend of Zelda, which is copyright infringement from Nintendo.
 * 6) The phone number (248) 434-5508 represented in scene, where it was the number to "rescue Qubo", as evidence by people who dialed this number, it was just a Rick roll (prank with the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley).
 * 7) The final messages after the deaths of the characters were not only creepy and upsetting, but also insulting to Qubo viewers because it blamed them says "This is your fault" and saying that they were selfless and neglectful to Qubo for not saving it, and says "Thanks for nothing" at the end.
 * 8) The point where it asked for a donation of $2,500 dollars to save the network, a channel like Qubo would NEVER ask for money, especially for television network standards.
 * 9) Many people pointed out this scene in the footage filmed by Splatkid802 was very fake, considering the facts that Qubo would never do any of the reasons listed above, and Qubo's final footages uploaded by other people, are different told stories. As Qubo was already shut down early on cable TV providers, and was completely shut down during an airing of Inspector Gadget. It was even explained by superkeggan9100 on the Qubo Wiki, that this disturbing footage was fake. But some of the video's comments where saying that they have seen the shutdown on live.

= Warner Bros. Discovery =

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate. It was formed after the spin-off of WarnerMedia by AT&T, and its merger with Discovery, Inc. on April 8, 2022.
