The video discusses the most striking moments of censorship in popular cartoons, including Gravity Falls, Sonic, Pokémon, Ninja Turtles, and others. The narrator shares examples of scenes that were cut or altered due to censorship, including a scene in Gravity Falls where Dipper lies on Wendy's bra, which was considered too adult for TV. In Sonic X, the villain's deep neckline was removed for the US version, and any hints of alcohol or cigarettes were also removed.
The narrator also mentions that the British version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was changed to remove any references to ninjas, and that the Russian version of Spider-Man removed an LGBT character. Additionally, the video discusses how Australians banned an episode of Peppa Pig due to a spider character, and how the Japanese and American versions of Shaman King differ due to censorship.
Other examples include the Pokémon episode that caused seizures in hundreds of children due to a flashing red and blue light, and the Simpsons episode that was never shown in Brazil due to its portrayal of the country as a jungle. The narrator concludes by asking viewers to support their content and subscribe to their channel.
