Recently, people start to explore the darker side of our favourite childhood

cartoons and come up with a lot of theories, called fan theories. However, some
of the theories are too compelling to ignore and could change the way you view
your favorite characters forever. So, I would like to share with all of you about
three theories that can blow your mind away.
SpongeBob SquarePants is one of those classic cartoons. I am sure that
each of you are familiar with this talking sea sponge who lives in a pineapple at
the bottom of the sea with his meowing snail and works in a restaurant owned by
a crab. According to one strangely convincing theory posted on Reddit, the show
is actually about nuclear testing. SpongeBob and his friends look and act the way
they do because of their exposure to the radiation from atomic bombs dropped in
the area around Bikini Bottom, where the show is set. First of all, the fact that a
talking sponge lives in a place called Bikini Bottom isn't some roundabout
reference to human contraception. The show is set under a real place called
Bikini Atoll, which is confirmed by the official Nickelodeon-written synopsis. And
here's where it gets really interesting. For your information, back in 1946, the
U.S. government detonated a couple of atomic bombs there, one of which was
set off underwater. Furthermore this American animated television series is
created by a marine biologist, named Stephen Hillenburg. All the weirdness in
this cartoon starts making sense, am I right? (media)
In the world of cartoons, there is a well-known fact that the Smurfs are
anti-Semitic and Nazism. This theory is claimed by Antoine Buno, 33, a lecturer
at Paris' prestigious sciences political school. First and foremost, the creator of
the Smurfs, Pierre Culliford, or known as Peyo, was born in Belgium in 1928,
which means that he spent his childhood in era of Nazism. One of the convincing
evidences is the Smurfs are all united against a common enemy, the sorcerer
Gargamel, whose large nose supposedly makes him look like a Jewish stereotype.
Gargamel has a cat named Azrael, which is a name that comes from Jewish
mysticism. Gargamel is also the creator of Smurfette, who becomes a vision of
Aryan beauty after Papa Smurf "fixes" her with his magic. The most shocking
evidence comes from a comic titled "The Black Smurfs," where the Smurfs get
infected via bites of a black fly. The mysterious disease turns them black,
mindless and aggressive. Besides, the white hats that The Smurfs wear are the
same hoods of the Klu Klux Klan and Papa smurf wears a red cap in reference to
those worn by the Grand Wizards of the KKK. Last but not least, the Smurfs also
hail like Hitler. (media)
Next theory is about a Disney cartoon entitled Aladdin. Aladdin starts
with a lonely merchant roaming through the desert on a camel before arriving at
the city of Agrabah and telling us the story of Aladdin's magic lamp, but not
before trying to sell the young audience a hookah. Then the actual movie starts,
and we see Aladdin finding the magic lamp and making his three wishes, the last
of which is to free the wish-granting Genie himself, who goes off to see the world.
According to a theory, the merchant is the same person as the Genie. This is
because, after the Genie gets freed, he becomes a peddler who travels across
the land, selling stuff while retelling the incredible tale that led to his freedom.
First, let's take a look at both characters, the merchant and the Genie. Both of
them have blue clothes, red band around the waist, bushy eyebrows and a beard
ending in a curl. In fact, they are the only two characters in the movie who only

have four fingers and they both just happen to be voiced by the same person,
Robin Williams. Besides, both of the characters have never seen in the same
scene. These are the most disturbing fan theories that you just cannot help but
agree with them. (media)
