How the fuck did they get away with having this be a recurring character?
hey guys lets have a vampire who breaks into kids homes at night and spanks them
also lets make it clear he just really enjoys doing it, to the point where he'll do it to plushies if he can't get his fix
also the plushie is a monkey
Because they literally had an episode addressing it with him getting a fucking court sentence.
yipper cards-
They didn't. The writers wrote him out because they realized he was essentially a child molester.
He only really appears in like three episodes and his very first episode ends with him getting thrown in prison.
That doesn't explain why he wants to break into houses and spank children
this episode was hilarious because it wasn't even for spanking children, it was because he got the wrong kid
like he has a list of approve 'bad' kids he's allowed to target or something
because he is a pedophile, is used as a warning and to show children that sexual molesters are a thing.
Every kid at the time understood it.
boomer writers forgot that spanking is frowned upon, much less if its someone who isn't even your family
Probably because he's a sicko which is why he got thrown in prison.
Others were torturing children and nearly killed them, but it’s only the guy who spanked them that got prosecuted.
I think that's part of the joke.
Somebody post the pick one of the girls saying "somthing is poking me from below" pic
Pretty based.
That makes it worse. lol
Are there any other pedophile cartoon characters?
there was that time timmy accidentally turned himself into one for an episode
youtube.com
He's an avatar of corporal punishment on kids. To the point, he is a bad guy and portrayed as such.
I mean...
ew
The fact that the KND threw an innocent kid under the bus just so Spankulot could go to jail is really messed up.
if i remember correctly, he only spanks naughty kids and when he was arrested it was for spanking a good kid, so i think spanking kids is a service he offers
he was a creep for doing it
the joke did not last long
enough said on it
He only wanted to punish (spank) bad and wicked kids. Plus it was part of the joke given the nature of a random stranger spanking kids asses setting off alarms while simultaneously have villain adults do over the top shit like trying to fire kids off to space or cause massive property damage and it just get sort of shrugged off by everybody else.
Generally speaking Spankulot actually did have genuine good intentions and tried to make amends after only for the KND to sabotage him. Granted he was being annoying but yeah. Actually if I recall right the KND were responsible for framing him in the first place
Typical glowie procedure
an alleged victim was convicted on eight counts of perjury and served 4+1⁄2 years in prison
knd was blackpilled
People still spanked their kids back then it was not seen as a sexual thing.
Someone recolor it so that it is Numbah 3 instead
Yeah, they even messed with the address implying someone gave him the address. Fits the world that he just provides a service to parents to spank their kids for them. He also doesn't have much of a choice since we learn his vampire thing isn't a schtick he's literally cursed to want to spank kids.
Yeah that's kind of a bigger thing, Count is pretty low on the list of how fucked up some of the villains are. Like Chester outright wanted to feed kids to sharks.
Anon, back in the day (and even recently if my grandma's slippers were anything to go by) people would punish naughty children with a smack to the tushy or even a beating (Krampus). Spankula is a sort of satire/or parody of that culture because he actually goes to court for doint it in modern times (to an innocent child though, so maybe it was more that he was tricked)
yea, because they were THEIR kids. Not some random stranger with no blood relation
A reminder that he spreads his curse by spanking butts bare without his gloves. The only way to break the curse is by spanking him right back.
Episode written by Mr. Warburton and MO WILLEMS?
It's a cultural thing that varies with time and location. Southern boomers were probably more okay with another authority figure administering an ass whooping to their unruly brats. Sure, not weird costumed freaks in the middle of the night, but this is KND we're talking about. The villains are just representations of things kids hate about adults, like spankings. That it was once a punishment is probably lost on recent generations whose parents are afraid to slap their shit for one reason or another.
based on what
Crazy, right?
Teachers used to paddle students across the entirety of North America until the 70s anon, and the practice persisted in some areas up to the 00s. Also used to be a think in the UK although I'm not sure exactly when it stopped.
Chester was just over the bar fucking evil compared to everyone else while being a relatively "normal" guy it was hilarious. Dude was probably worse than Father
Why wouldn't you?
Dude was probably worse than Father
I think the writers even recognized this because there are a few episodes where he and Father are either standing or sitting together, pic-related being a standout.
It is funny as you gat Father who's the son of probably the most evil guy in the setting and he's around on par with some greedy camp councilor. Though Grandfather did say Monty lacked a certain ambition his brother had.
Same way they got away with this.
