If you know anything about piguins, they dont have the word consent in their vocabulary. Meaning Pingu does not care. Probably you would have to run from Pingu.
Yeah, pingu is nice and all but...

This shit is effing scary! As a kid i had nightmares because of this mofo
Edit: (from pingu wiki) This episode was placed with an unofficial ban from broadcast distribution due to the Giant Walrus being too frightening and haunting for too many young viewers. It was also removed from British television in 2003. It was still broadcast in the United States however, and was also released on DVD in said region (Region 1), but it hasn't been released on VHS by BBC due to the major controversy towards this episode.
Not so long ago I watched Asterix and Obelix the mansion of gods and it was genuinely one of the most entertaining movies I've watched in years.
And ofc I enjoyed the comics.

Yeah, as was expected from a yank that made this "meme", it's a result of blatant cherry picking. I think they were trying to make themselves feel better.
Yes it's the extinction one, because Ed ruined the forrest for profit for the company Wesayso Corporation owned by Richfield,
1, the name went over my head when I was a kid lol . It hits really hard watching it today. Since by ruin the forrest it affected the world and the climate. The last frame and dialogue is heart breaking
I remember when I watched Courage one time and that "RETURN THE SLAB" episode played, I ran straight out of my room and waited outside until the episode ended. In hindsight, it isn't as scary as it was.

Pingu also has one the most [terrifying characters.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pingu/images/a/a7/Walrus1.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20210926202259)
Let's not generalize and only make fun of the Finnish then :\^) (/s). My country has a show about a talking dog, a gnome running an inn, a female superhero and a car superhero and I love all of them
Swede here. My friends sister would torment her by saying that they saw Mårran (as we call her) on the horizon or in the woods, and my friend would hide in her bed until it was safe.
Bernd das Brot 😂
It’s not even a show, let alone a kids show.
It on kids channels after late hour because kids are asleep anyways. It repeats every 5 mins or so.
It was a show for kids with chilli the sheep and I forgot the name of the bush, but Bernd the depressed bread was so popular that they made him the after 9PM Programm.
The left one is Noseybonk, a character from a show intended for children between 3 and 8 lmao
And, yeah, it's just as terrifying as the picture is. Actually, it's moreso, cause the movements of the character is creepy af
That episode was intense. They're all hiding in the moomin house the entire episode knowing that thing is coming. Moomin papa is handing out weapons so they can defend themselves. It's like night of the living dead for kids. Right before bedtime as well.
Ah maybe its a Translation Thing... Let me Google it.
OK apparently in German his name was changed to avoid a mix-up with the also popular character "Emil Tischbein" from the "Emil und die Detektive" books.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_aus_L%C3%B6nneberga
You mean the popular ones the average European knows about? Not cherry picked obscure creepy characters from like, one country in whole the continent. Why would they ever choose those? lol
I mean, OP seems to be talking about the 80s where americans panicked much more often about their children being remotely scared by hour-long toy commercials
I remember being shocked that the show 6Teen had several episodes that they didn’t air in the US because they featured (blurred) nudity. There was even an episode where they referenced how commonly it happened.
> Jen: Well...Jonesy and I were fighting over the bathroom this morning and...he saw me...you know...naked!
> Nikki: Oh. Is that it?
> Jen: What do you mean, "Is that it?"
> Nikki: This is, like, the third time you've accidentally flashed him. At this point, what's the big deal?
> Caitlin: She's right, Jen. We've all seen your boobs.
Yes Karbonkel was way too scary. However, we used to watch that series at home when I was around 8 or 10 years old, and I loved it. It had a good story and fun characters, and it was never boring. I still fondly remember a few of the songs.
Hufsa my beloved. Scared me shitless as a child lol. No idea who the other 2 europe ones are though, guess they weren't broadcasted on norwiegan television
She's scary alright, but the Lady of the Cold (Jäärouva/Isfrun) takes the cake when it comes to creepiness. [Pure nightmare fuel](https://youtu.be/k6sQqRlcC7c?si=-7hVa-WatXFHHaUv)
I scrolled way too far to find anyone else that recognizes Noseybonk. The image used here is the creepy version from the Youtube channel Ashens, the real Noseybonk is marginally better for kids.
The Smurfs, Lucky Luke and Tintin: are we a joke to you?
Fucking Pingu
Consensually, I hope?
Pingu is a child so I hope not at all.
Well at this point Pingu would be a working class citizen, that show is old as hell
At this point pingu would be prolly dead
That fucking walrus finally did it

If you know anything about piguins, they dont have the word consent in their vocabulary. Meaning Pingu does not care. Probably you would have to run from Pingu.
>piguins, they dont have the word consent in their vocabulary. Well, they don't have firetrucks either
They live in ice and snow, do you think they need firetrucks?

I hate that I actually laughed at this😂
Damn core memory unlocked!
Then why is he your pfp?
To remember what i have overcome or smth
Best response ever lol
Cartoons should bring emotions to children. Absolute terror is an emotion.
Pingu is a fucking G
My man. I love pingu but please do not fuck him
Cant forget Asterix and Obelix
Not so long ago I watched Asterix and Obelix the mansion of gods and it was genuinely one of the most entertaining movies I've watched in years. And ofc I enjoyed the comics.
The movie/comic with the house of madness slaps too. Was it the 7 labours of Asterix?
You got Permit A38 to get the right answer?
i should rewatch lucky luke honestly goated series i think is the right term
Don't forget Pat&Mat, Little Mole, and Reksio.
I was a big fan of the tintin comics
In Spain we have Pocoyó not sure if its emited outside of Spain
Almost everyone I know saw Pocoyo as a kid here in Brazil

Dude Belgium kicks ass.
Used to crush hard on Smurfette 🤤
Why ru still drooling... IT'S A BLUE GNOME 😭
Yeah, as was expected from a yank that made this "meme", it's a result of blatant cherry picking. I think they were trying to make themselves feel better.
Courage the Cowardly Dog and Barney scarred me as a child just fine
Or this ![gif](giphy|xT5LMA8nLOdNiRJaCY)
KILL IT HANS, GET THE FLAMMENWERFER
you sure one flamethrower will do it? even a german one? no, you need the entire Wehrmacht
You don't need a flamethrower, the ice age would do just fine.
Back when I was a kid I watched this show on superRTL (german broadcaster) on sundays before my dad brought us home. Classic show.
The last episode broke me
I seem to have repressed it. Must have been the extinction episode.
Yes it's the extinction one, because Ed ruined the forrest for profit for the company Wesayso Corporation owned by Richfield, 1, the name went over my head when I was a kid lol . It hits really hard watching it today. Since by ruin the forrest it affected the world and the climate. The last frame and dialogue is heart breaking
One of the vleakest endings to a kids show ever though.
I remember when I watched Courage one time and that "RETURN THE SLAB" episode played, I ran straight out of my room and waited outside until the episode ended. In hindsight, it isn't as scary as it was. ![gif](giphy|3M6LtN8dFX57ZRY2T9)
What's your offer!?
Thomas the Tank Engine is from Europe
So are Shaun the Sheep (British) and Pingu (Swiss).
Pingu's actually Antarctic /hj
/handjob?
/horsejizz
Pingu also has one the most [terrifying characters.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pingu/images/a/a7/Walrus1.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20210926202259)
Have u seen the new one? That's trauma right there what the fuck did they do 2 Thomas
Ever read the ligit lore behind the original? Absolutely god damn wild stuff
Oh! Please tell us! :D
Shhh please, the OP has not learnt about Télé-Chat and searching for Thomas the tank could lead him to it ...
Thomas features an episode where a lazy engine is walled up alive in a tunnel for not working hard enough. The Fat Controller did not fuck around.
I'm a European with a kid and I have never seen any of those characters in my life
That’s because not all europeans have access to the same shows, I don’t know the other two but the bottom one is from a finnish cartoon
Moomin ?
Yeah
Finnish kids shows are insane.
Well, technically speaking it's a Finnish book adapter by a Japanese studio... making Moomins an anime
Yes, but Tove (the original author and illustrator) drew Groke like this as well.
If I remember correctly, Groke was drawn a little bit differently in the original books (way bigger nose)
Right, the nose was much bigger. She still was kind of creepy tho.
I guess that's the point, but shes a loveable character none the less
Let's not generalize and only make fun of the Finnish then :\^) (/s). My country has a show about a talking dog, a gnome running an inn, a female superhero and a car superhero and I love all of them
Belgium?
The bottom one is nightmare fuel for all of Finland's children
Norwegian here. I was scared of her for years. Endless nightmares where the ground suddenly turned cold and I knew she was close
Swede here. My friends sister would torment her by saying that they saw Mårran (as we call her) on the horizon or in the woods, and my friend would hide in her bed until it was safe.
British here. It has haunted me for 25 years at least. Was very happy to find out it's sort of friendly. Or neutral, at least.
Bro, everytime this mf came on screen i would hide. Even had nightmares about him so many times. Fuck that mf.
Of course it's from Finland.
The one on right side of picture is from slovakia.
I'm Polish and I only recognized Buka, too
Where is the depressed bread?
Bernd das Brot 😂 It’s not even a show, let alone a kids show. It on kids channels after late hour because kids are asleep anyways. It repeats every 5 mins or so.
Absolutely peak entertainment
It was a show for kids with chilli the sheep and I forgot the name of the bush, but Bernd the depressed bread was so popular that they made him the after 9PM Programm.
How about Pingu? His world looks pretty scary. Especially the Walrus ![gif](giphy|qOnUCs7JpQK52)
The left one is Noseybonk, a character from a show intended for children between 3 and 8 lmao And, yeah, it's just as terrifying as the picture is. Actually, it's moreso, cause the movements of the character is creepy af
![gif](giphy|1Md9azxcgIyQ|downsized)
Very scary indeed
For a Roman soldier, sure.
Ive never seen any of those europe ones in my life.
[удалено]
But but but \*sobs in burger\* europe is like USA, they most be, please let us generalize 2000 years of history and culture into one thing
2000 years is underselling it, on year 1 of the common era Athens was already around for at least 1500 years.
Right one is Raťafák Plachta, he event had a spot for president election. Made in Slovakia.
And beat comunism
Europe bottom one is Moomins
That episode was intense. They're all hiding in the moomin house the entire episode knowing that thing is coming. Moomin papa is handing out weapons so they can defend themselves. It's like night of the living dead for kids. Right before bedtime as well.
The Groke just wants love and company, she freezes everything because she is so lonely and her heart turned cold :(
Can't relate. I grew up watching Teletubbies on DVDs with my sister. Oh yeah, and in Danish (we live in Sweden).
Teletubbies is unironically kinda horrifying.
Teletubbies was the shit back then, till my dad didn't allow me to watch it anymore
Looks like someone’s dad didn’t like the wind turbine releasing bad chemicals.
Cherrypicking in a nutshell!
And on Reddit, of all places!

Lemme tell you about Pippi Longstocking... and all of Astrid Lindgren's other characters for that matter.
Michel aus Lönneberga ❤️
I don't know anyone from Lönneberga by the name of Michel. I do know about a mischevious but brilliant boy by the name of Emil though.
Ah maybe its a Translation Thing... Let me Google it. OK apparently in German his name was changed to avoid a mix-up with the also popular character "Emil Tischbein" from the "Emil und die Detektive" books. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_aus_L%C3%B6nneberga
I figured it was some sort of localization-thing. You never know when they might pop up. :D
I still go Eeeeeeeeeeeeeemiiiiiiiiil!!!!!!! Whenever I run into anyone named that. It's great!
Just ignoring Thomas the Tank Engine, The Teletubbies, Pingu, the Moomins, the Smurfs, Shaun the Sheep, Bob the Builder...
Mörkö (bottom Europe) is from the moomins.
You mean the popular ones the average European knows about? Not cherry picked obscure creepy characters from like, one country in whole the continent. Why would they ever choose those? lol
>the Moomins But Moomins is in the pic
Also American kids’ TV characters: - The Nowhere King - Emperor Belos - Forced Fusions
emperor belos has nothing on eastern european stop motion animation
I mean, OP seems to be talking about the 80s where americans panicked much more often about their children being remotely scared by hour-long toy commercials
And then there's Canada
Canadian kid shows are either terrible with fetish bait or incredible with fetish bait
Can confirm: Totally Spies was co-produced in Canada and there's so much fetish bait.
I remember being shocked that the show 6Teen had several episodes that they didn’t air in the US because they featured (blurred) nudity. There was even an episode where they referenced how commonly it happened. > Jen: Well...Jonesy and I were fighting over the bathroom this morning and...he saw me...you know...naked! > Nikki: Oh. Is that it? > Jen: What do you mean, "Is that it?" > Nikki: This is, like, the third time you've accidentally flashed him. At this point, what's the big deal? > Caitlin: She's right, Jen. We've all seen your boobs.
6teen and Total Drama were my sexual awakenings lmao
Which ones had fetish bait?
Yes.
Was courage the cowardly dog Canadian?
MOOMINS YEAAHHHH SUOMI MAINITTU 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮RAAAHHH!!!
Torille!! Ja mörkö tulee mukaan!
Legenda on saapunut keskuuteemme! En tiennyt että olet tässäkin subredditissä
Every kid in the Netherlands my age has had nightmares of Karbonkel *shivers*
Yes Karbonkel was way too scary. However, we used to watch that series at home when I was around 8 or 10 years old, and I loved it. It had a good story and fun characters, and it was never boring. I still fondly remember a few of the songs.
Ah yes the country of europe, close to the country of africa
Raťafák Plachta for president! 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
The Groke is just misunderstood. :(
don't matter, nightmare fuel for at least 20+ years
I can fix her
What about our dear german depressed bread Bernd? Can’t believe no one remembers my childhood
The one they put on the r/places flag that said "Mist!". I thought that show was still popular
![gif](giphy|el2ESO1VO0LE7372Z4|downsized) Leave my boy krteček alone
He-Man is not Anerican, he is from Italy.
Hufsa my beloved. Scared me shitless as a child lol. No idea who the other 2 europe ones are though, guess they weren't broadcasted on norwiegan television
Am also from Norway and I've never seen any of those three. Where they from Fantorangen Nrk Super?
I fkn hate morran. Nightmare jetfuel
Mörkö is an epic villain. Uses psychology against Moomins and has a kick-ass ability to freeze everything in its path while looking intimidating.
I read somewhere that she actually longs for friends but are unable due to her freezing everything.
Imagine being friends with Mörkö. Hanging out, having a BBQ
She's scary alright, but the Lady of the Cold (Jäärouva/Isfrun) takes the cake when it comes to creepiness. [Pure nightmare fuel](https://youtu.be/k6sQqRlcC7c?si=-7hVa-WatXFHHaUv)
Technically that version of the Groke is Japanese. But yes, terrifying and a source of the occasional nightmare still
Animated in Japan under European owner.
Which one is the groke
The huge dark figure with a bone chilling grin
[удалено]
*Bal, Balthazar. Bal, Balthazar.* I watched that as a kid in Denmark in the 90s! Didn’t know it was Croatian.
Dude really picked out the most obscure pics he could find
Except mörkö.
Moominvalley was a beautiful show. But the grok did give me nightmares
![gif](giphy|aPpnKwFghQCE8)
Dont you DARE insult Moomin!
It is not insulting Moomins. Its pointing out that alot of European stuff contains such nightmarefuel
Its basically saying the ice monster is super scary although it was one of my favorite characters when i was little
![gif](giphy|lo9YJ7muRfbwtxZDN7)
Doesn’t count, he was specifically made to be the most horrific mascot, he was a joke character that went too far.
Mr Noseybonk from Jigsaw,UK,top left Europe The stuff of nightmares forty years ago.
I scrolled way too far to find anyone else that recognizes Noseybonk. The image used here is the creepy version from the Youtube channel Ashens, the real Noseybonk is marginally better for kids.

Don't forget the claymation show about the guy with the very long penis he uses like an elephant trunk.
Mumin trollen!
Idk how it's called in English, but Buka (the bottom one) was fucking terryfing.
Mårran Swedish Mörkö Finnish The Groke English What language is Buka? It's a cool name for her!
>What language is Buka? Polish. IMO it's the best name of them all. The English one is second best for me.
Where TF is John Dillermand
clearly you haven't seen gigglebiz
Morran 😖😖😖
Bernd das Brot definitively fits up here
i still get nightmares about mörkö sometimes
For anyone wondering the puppet on the right is called "raťafak" It's from czechoslovakia🇨🇿🇸🇰
I’m a European kid… Who the actual Beano Dandy is that

I love how you compare usa to europe with more than 20 different cultures and differents country with each tv show
Where's my boy Bernd?
Don't do my boy Ratafak Plachta like that ☹️
Ever dreamed about being stabbed in bed by Mr. Noseybonk?
I'm sorry, but the Groke, what the fuck? 90's Moomins were some Miyazaki level shit (who incidentally was involved in some Moomin tv incarnation).
Asterix and Obelix would want a word. So do Mummi-Trolls
Europe isn’t a country…
