Cartoon Theories Are Dumb.

I hate how small child characters can't have active imaginations without so many people chalking it up to schizophrenia and not, y'know, small children having the imaginations of small children.

Guys: Mark is actually in a coma. My proof is that .

I love how every cartoon theory is just: *"this character is in a COMA!" *"this character is INSANE!" *"everyone is DEAD!" *"this character is on DRUGS!" *"this character has (INSERT MENTAL ILLNESS HERE)!" with NO variation.

“The Pokémon anime changes tone after Ash gets hit by lightning!” My brother in Christ that was the FIRST EPISODE

I love how Adventure Time has some of the most intricate, detailed, and creative world-building of any cartoon, and people are like: "What if it's all just Finn in a coma?"

Butch Hartman is the closest any real human being will get to the uncanny valley

Character: Being creative and imaginative Random redditor: He's on drugs

My favorite thing about the "Ash is in a coma" theory is that it says his coma was caused by the lightning from the first episode. Usually "it's all a dream" theories are used to explain the fantastical elements of a show, like the one for Adventure Time. But the Pokemon theory says the first episode still happened, so Pokemon are still real. It's just Ash's adventures that aren't real. What's even the point?

I love how Regular Show has a coma theory even though it's the only show in this video that you could reasonably apply an "on drugs" theory to 😭

The restraint to not bring up Film Theory even once is astounding. Hats off to you, Mark.

Back when adventure time was still in it's earlier seasons, there was theories about the cartoon taking place in a post-apocalyptic world. That was one of the few old theories that were ACTUALLY right.

“But we still prefer to think that Christopher Robin had REAL talking animal friends” The whole point of Winnie the Pooh is that they aren’t real. He’s playing with stuffed animals.

Let’s be honest the most original cartoon theory is the one where the main character is in a coma and is just imagining the entire series

What kills me is that the 'adventure time is a coma' theory blew up right before the show revealed that it literally takes place in a post nuclear apocalypse planet. Like, these 'theorists' were 1 childrens cartoon dark twist stereotype away from predicting the show.

Ok unironically thinking about it, i think the mayor being a fairy in disguise would be a cool little twist for how Timmy manages to get away with the entire town being changed and then no one caring about how everything changes back at the end. Hes like the damage control that Jorgen keeps specifically in Dimmsdale because of how problematic Timmy is. I don't actually believe this and it's moreso everyone is too stupid to notice, but i can see the merit of this. Seriously why do they keep talking about Veronica when this one is just a goldmine waiting to be uncovered

I love how you used a peashooter as a metaphor for pea brained. Very creative of you.

I love the irony that people used the "Finn is in a coma" theory because its dark only for the actual Adventure Time canon to be incredibly dark for a kid's show

"Spongebob is on shrooms because imagination" is just the worst. Why are there so many people out there thinking that you cannot have a wild imagination without drugs?

The issue with a lot of the mental illness theories is that they portray them as a way to make the story edgier when it's just as easy to go "hey I think this character might have this disorder because they show these signs" and have an interesting concept to think on that doesn't have nearly the problematic weight of "mental illness=eDgY." For example, Ace Attorney has a very popular theory that Miles Edgeworth has PTSD. It's not confirmed, but many points in the games make the theory extremely plausible, so it's a reasonable conclusion to make.
