When one talks about commercial content, we often refer to all those things destined for TV that have been meticulously revised so that they do not offend anyone's susceptibility or bad messages to the kids. This concept is very modern because the truth is that in the old days there were no codes on TV, society was different and politically correct was not normal.
Then you will see several great characters of your childhood saying or doing things that today would consider unheard of, that will leave you completely speechless:
Beavis and Butthead was until the arrival of South Park the most irreverent animation of the tv, but although he lost his throne, he has to his credit an anecdote that the boys of Colorado fortunately have not overcome. There was an episode aired in 1993 called Comediantes, in which this pair happens to want to work as comedians and stand up, for that they go to a club, they obviously fail miserably in the attempt, in the end Beavis wants to make a funny burning newspaper papers like crazy and as a result set the club on fire. None of this is really strong, the problem begins when a short time later, inspired by the episode, a 5 year old boy, fan of the show, burned his own bed trying to do the same as Beavis and killing his sister in the meantime. Since then, the episode was removed from the air
Many will remember the Dexter Lab and this character, a primate superhero who had his own segment called Mark M for Monkey. In an episode called Barbequor, parodying the character of marvel comics Galactus, a super identity that likes to eat planets in a strictly literal way sends his Herald, a once parody to the Silver Surfer called Silvers Put, and it is here when everything goes to hell. The character, in addition to a quite effeminate voice is the faithful representation of all the homosexual stereotypes had and for having and this is not represented during the animation with subtlety, but absolutely the opposite. The episode aired once and as expected, raised controversy, therefore it was removed from the TV
It is very difficult to see that Ren and Stimpy inspired a lot of animations, obviously, this series, especially the reissue only for adults, had very strong content, but it was not banned because they were animations intended for a mature audience. The cow and the chick, on the other hand, do not and although it is noticeable that this series came out of the little school of Ren and Stimpy it was quite more moderate. One does not know what happened in an episode called Buffalo Gals, however, that for its translation would be Buffalos Girls because they were more than six minutes full of sexual acts, but not common, but lesbian. As expected, they banned him.
The number four has to watch jealously with The Griffin Family, and this was because in one of their episodes address a topic that still touches the moral of many people, abortion, in this episode, a friend asks Louis to lend her uterus to undergo an in vitro fertilization procedure, and thus conceive the baby that she can not, she accepts and undergoes treatment, becoming pregnant, but then a tragedy occurs, the friend dies in a traffic accident and the Marriage is seen in a serious predicament, having the baby or abort it, making a whole chapter of black comedy and deciding in the end to abort.
Disney collaborated with the government of the United States creating propaganda and they used Donald Duck a lot, a character with whom they made several cartridges of a political nature during the Second World War, sure, making jokes on the left is not the big deal , but here they did not do that but they got involved with a huge portion of the American population that was against paying higher taxes. The animated episode, in the hands of Donald, gives a very abrupt message that says literally: "When you do not pay your taxes, you help Hitler, when you spend your dollars selfishly and do not pay your taxes on time, you are helping us to lose the war, since your money is what keeps working the big factories of planes, tanks, weapons, among others. In short, this episode is so gross, that today it would not be considered patriotic but manipulative, and it is the golden dream of all anti-war conspiracy now that ensures that the world remains exactly the same but with more subtle propaganda
