Unexpected wholesome Butch Hartman?
With how he is, it's more likely one of the animators slipped it in there and he didn't notice. You can bet nickelodeon definitely didn't notice.
Butch Hartman is a cunt
whatd he do
I'm too high to Google it and I'm hearing mums voice and zipping in and out of sleep
Im a sleeby
reminder to self kinda
I followed that link fully prepared to watch the entire hour and a half video. I guess it has to be some YouTube conceit, but holy fuck that person narrating needs to fucking talk like a normal person. It sounds like they recorded a bunch of single lines, then spliced them all in like voiceovers in post, but it’s every single sentence. Or maybe they’re trying to talk like the text to speech TikTok voice?
Bros just saying some arbitrary factoid and sounds like he’s doing the overdub for a 90’s movie trailer.
I know she's not great but illuminaughtii made a pretty informative video about this a few years back. I hope it wasn't plagiarized from someone else.
Tldw: he became a far-right christian grifter.
Much appreciated, I can actually listen to this video without throwing my phone into a wall.
This video is great and extensive. Tldw: Butch became a christian fanatic and a grifter.

I agree, which is why it was really unexpected. I also agree with others here that it's more likely a rogue animator perhaps snuck it in.
Agreed. I was just putting it out there.
I would like to add that it's kinda rare for an United-stasian cartoon to put the Brazilian flag in a "bunch of world flags" scene. Damn, they went that far into putting it in the middle of the screen! That's unusual!
(Mark my words, we will take over the world soon enough /jk)
Why wouldn't you. Already own like 25% of the American continent.
Corruption.
You know what's funny
I watched a video saying how corruption helps a country grow faster. It's a specific type of corruption though: rich people asking politicians to create laws and make certain things happen.
The bad news is that 99% of people won't benefit. Insert Pikachu face if you will.
I think it was video # 4 of this series https://youtu.be/Bc1lVZ_Bi08?si=d_lmdCDepDjF2cSz
That's such a Kissinger frame of mind.
Order with injustice over justice with chaos (sic).

It would have been even more if the Pope could draw a straight line ...
"I'm Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimsdale Dimadome, and I recognize the country of Palesdome, er, Palestine"
Damn Canadian liberals need to get with the times and recognize Palestine 🇵🇸
I love when shows have subtle nods to show their support for these things rather than having to draw as much attention as possible to how progressive they are being
Here we are 23 years later learning about this, it’s kind of making the nostalgia around this show shine again.
The list from english wikipedia says my country (Brazil) only recognised Palestine in 2010
But in portutugese wikipedia it is said we've recognised them since 1975.
I don't know which one is right, so.
It seems that relations started in 1975, but formal recognition commenced in 2010:

This episode is going to be put on more blocklists than the Teletubbies bear now.
Pretty sure I have a French language DVD of that specific Teletubbies episode. Pirated too.
And yes, it's only that episode.
Did they put the Chad flag right next to the Romanian flag?
baited
or should I say, Barbaited!
it seems like they used the wrong colors if they intended to draw Barbados though, otherwise I couldn't find an exact match.
I thought it's just Romania, twice.
sigh guess I need to go write another letter to my MP
Dammit Canada get your shit together and recognize Palestine
With how chunky the flags are it could just be Jordan
It's possible, but even at that level of detail it would have been trivial to add a white dot and elongate the red triangle. I'm thinking they intended it to be Palestine.
My country was one of the first. It also recently recognized Israel as well. Everyone I know is protesting the latter.
Spoiler: it's Morocco.
Funny thing: they did so in exchange for other countries recognizing their annexation of the Western Sahara. Their own little Palestine

First Arab country to do so, sad
Egypt. It's Egypt.
Maybe it's the flag of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party? Maybe that cartoon was openly defending the right for Iraq to get WMDs?

The second image in the lead is showing the list of countries who recognised Palestine after the episode in question. Based on the title, you need the list of countries who recognised before.
And yes, we recognised them in 1988.
