= Rant: Unskippable Ads = I will be ranting on unskippable ads. Not only do unskippable ads waste valuable time, but they are extremely annoying. I will explain reasons why I hate them.


 * 1) First off, unskippable ads are way too common.
 * 2) Second, they force people to either pay for premium or use an ad blocker.
 * 3) Third, you can have several of these ads depending on the video and/or its length.
 * 4) Fourth, some unskippable ads are disturbing to watch.
 * 5) Fifth, YouTube has been pushing unskippable ads with the double ads feature.
 * 6) Sixth, as if thirty-second long unskippable ads are already annoying enough, these ads can last longer than thirty seconds.

= Caillou (Unofficial page)= Caillou is a Canadian children's show series that was first shown on Teletoon and Télétoon, with its first episode being shown on the latter channel on September 15, 1997. The show was later moved to Treehouse TV, with its final episode being shown on that channel on on October 3, 2010.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Caillou sets a bad example towards children, as he motivates them to throw temper tantrums.
 * 2) Not only that, the show also motivates other immoral acts, such as disrespecting parents, being mean to children, and even animal abuse.
 * 3) The main character, Caillou, whines and cries a lot, which gets extremely annoying.
 * 4) The theme song is sub-par.
 * 5) Caillou's parents are terrible parents, as they are one dimensional and almost never discipline Caillou for his actions.
 * 6) Horrendously made cheap flash animation in the last 2 seasons, character movements are extremely choppy, slow and stilted. This is because the animation was switched from being outsourced to South Korea to South Africa.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Caillou has experienced character development in Season 4.
 * 2) The show sometimes teaches important lessons about social skills and exploring the world.
 * 3) The animation was pretty good in the first 3 seasons.

= TV Home Shopping Infomercials =

TV home shopping infomercials are television commercials whose purpose is to promote or sell a product, service, or idea. They are typically 30 minutes or 1 hour long, the length of a normal TV show episode and a double-length TV show episode respectively.

Why They Suck

 * 1) They take up entire time slots on certain channels.
 * 2) They are overglorified commercial breaks, as the advertisers make them seem better than they actually are.
 * 3) The reason why infomercials don't have any commercial breaks is because they are commercial breaks that last as long as an episode on a TV show.
 * 4) They promote items that you barely even need, if at all.
 * 5) You rarely pay the face price, as there are extra delivery costs most of the time.
 * 6) The products aren't even demonstrated properly, if at all.
 * 7) When you actually get the product, you will probably be disappointed that the product doesn't work as well as you have been hoping it to work.

= Punishment Day Videos = Punishment Day Videos are a group of videos created by Isaac Anderson Animations in 2014. They involve the parent giving their child punishments that are usually over the top.

Why They Suck

 * 1) Similar to grounded videos, this genre of videos mainly involves the parents giving children's show characters like Caillou and Dora the Explorer ridiculous punishments.
 * 2) Immature users make them to express their hatred for certain characters.
 * 3) They can occur for trivial reasons, such as standing in the kitchen or addressing someone by his or her first name.
 * 4) The videos include extreme punishments, such as making the victim drink hot sauce, making him or her listen to loud music, cutting off his or her body parts, putting diapers on him or her, making him or her take an extremely hot shower followed by an extremely cold shower, and even killing them. Doing these things can get you arrested in real life, and some countries like the United States and Iran still have capital punishment.
 * 5) They can encourage child abuse, as they have blood and violence in them. Not to mention some videos contain deadly weapons.
 * 6) They overlap with grounded videos, as the parent grounds the victim before or after he or she gives the victim punishments.
 * 7) The parent gets away with abusing his or her child, making him or her a Karma Houdini.

Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Mature users make Punishment Day video where the parent gets arrested for abusing his or her child.

= Grounded Videos = Grounded videos are the main group of videos created by Adamkleinschmidt2003 on July 2, 2011. They involve a character doing something bad before he or she gets grounded. These videos are infamous for their nonsensical and repetitive nature.

Why Most of Them Suck

 * 1) Most grounded videos revolve around children's show characters such as Dora the Explorer and Little Bill getting grounded. Because of this, original characters are rarely used.
 * 2) * Immature users usually do this to express their blind, undying hatred for these shows in addition to the characters.
 * 3) * Almost every single character gets flanderized into a Loathsome character.
 * 4) These videos are extremely formulaic and predictable. Almost every grounded video starts with the troublemaker saying that he or she is going to do a bad thing, like destroying the house or stealing something from the store. After the troublemaker does the bad thing, his or her parents usually ground him or her for an insanely long time.
 * 5) The creators tend to recycle formats for grounded videos, and the only change they usually make is having different characters.
 * 6) They overlap with other types of videos such as Punishment Day videos and Behavior Card Day videos.
 * 7) Some grounded videos have discriminatory content. For example, Caillou says the N-word uncensored in the video "Caillou Says the N-word and Gets Grounded".
 * 8) Whenever the parents ground the troublemaker, they will say the words "oh" and "grounded" multiple times, which will start to get annoying.
 * 9) The characters are extremely one-dimensional.
 * 10) Characters can get sent to other countries without food or money. They mainly get sent to European countries, but they can also get sent to countries on other continents like Peru, Mexico, or Brazil, all three of which are in Latin America.
 * 11) "Held back videos" misinterpret the meaning of being held back, as the victim gets sent back to a previous grade.
 * 12) The younger sibling will sometimes ground the troublemaker, which he or she can't do in real life.
 * 13) The troublemaker can get grounded for invalid reasons, such as watching TV, getting a math problem wrong, or doing nothing.
 * 14) Some grounded videos contain disturbing content, such as pouring rat poison on the school lunch or pouring toilet cleaner in brownies.
 * 15) The text-to-speech voices for certain characters are inaccurate and cheesy.
 * 16) In some grounded videos, images of a character are used, which is plain effortlessness.
 * 17) Some grounded videos encourage murder and/or child abuse, both of which are illegal.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They are more memorable than their reverse counterpart, Ungrounded videos.
 * 2) Some grounded videos feature original characters, though they're rare.
 * 3) Some grounded videos are aware of how bad they are.
 * 4) Although it's rare for this to happen, some grounded videos can be more realistic.
 * 5) The very first grounded video created isn't that bad.
 * 6) Some grounded videos are original, fun to watch, or are so bad that they're good.

= Behavior Card Day Videos = Behavior Card Day Videos are a group of videos made on October 17, 2011 by Adamkleinschmidt2003. They usually take place in a classroom, where the teacher explains what each card does and names each card's color. A character that the uploader hates gets the worst card, which is usually either black or red.

Why They Suck

 * 1) Behavior Card Day videos are biased based on how much the uploader likes or dislikes the characters in questions. The characters the uploader likes get good cards, while the characters he or she dislikes get bad cards.
 * 2) As with Grounded videos, they are very formulaic and predictable.
 * 3) To extend the length of Behavior Card Day videos, some characters and cards are added as filler.
 * 4) Some characters get ridiculous rewards such as long amounts of time off from school, while others receive ridiculous punishments such as having "detention forever".
 * 5) The person who gets in dead meat occasionally gets executed, which is not only unfair, but also unnecessary.
 * 6) They are overused within the Vyond community.
 * 7) There are variants that involve getting a certain position in a race, but they are virtually the same.
 * 8) Most behavior card day videos use stock images and/or copyrighted characters.
 * 9) Some behavior card days are out-of-user videos, as the uploader gives his or her hated users bad cards.
 * 10) Most behavior card day videos have ear rape in them in the form of unnecessarily loud volume.
 * 11) The characters in these videos are one dimensional and lack interactions with each other.
 * 12) The teacher doesn't tell the worst student why he or she has the dead meat card.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some behavior card day videos are well-made.
 * 2) There are more realistic versions of grounded videos, where good cards give people 100 grades in certain categories, while the worst cards only give detention.
