Things you thought were more common then they are because of cartoons

As a kid, this episode made me believe that "Jazz men" playing Saxophones late at night by themselves was a common practice and was considered socially acceptable.

What weird things did cartoons make you think were more common than they actually were as a kid?

...I thought Hitler was still alive...

Spinach gives you superstrength.

Fuck you, Popeye. Broke my hand because of your scurvy-ridden ass.

didnt eat enough spinach

Bugs Bunny made me think raw carrots were delicious.

...they are not.

King of the Hill made me think my dad loved me

How the fuck did you break your hand eating Spinach lol retard.

Aside from being a little too hard, carrots are fine. Did you wash it first?

I ate spinach and tried to one-punch a brick wall. I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SUPERSTRENGTH.

Keeping Baboons is a common practice.
So is eating the skin of pigs faces.

Ren and Stimpy actually made me believe a long list of disturbing things to be realities.

I WISH my town was littered with roaming jazz playing saxophone guys.
Sounds fuckin' sugoi.

Love at first sight.

Inner beauty.

>sugoi

You think so until it's 4AM, you've got to be up in four hours, and you hear baker street blasting outside your window.

I was pretty on the ball as a kid. I worked sex out at a young age.

But two things eluded me. I could never tell Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck apart and I thought bats were fictional creatures like unicorns and dragons because of their association with vampires.

I thought clothing mishaps in public were as common as cartoons let on. I was wrong, but it led to me enjoy my fetish of girls becoming disrobed in public and/or it happening to me

I wanna hear the story of you finding out bats were real.

I was sitting in a parking lot one evening in the truck with my uncle waiting for my grandma and mom to come out of the store and I was looking overhead in the darkening sky and saw some screeching "birds" fly over and mentioned it to my uncle.

He said, "Those are bats." and I was like, what whaaaaaaaat? Bats are real?!?!

Blew my mind. I was like seven or eight at the time.

I always thought narwhals weren't real.
I only found out otherwise about a year ago. I felt like a pleb.

Rather anticlimactic story, wasn't it.

School Politics. Like y'know Class President and all that shit. I thought it'd be a big deal, then it came up and no one gave a shit. I don't even know what they did.
Also Hall Monitors.

I thought all Scots were rought-and-tumble redhaired farmers who lived in sunny plains.

it was

My country doesn't even have hall monitors. Kids are just expected to ask to be excused and if they take more than 15 minutes out another kid is sent to find out if they're still alive. By high school people are just waltzing in and out of the classroom without saying anything.

C'iest la vie user.

I thought ever white kid had a black best friend, so I thought my best friend was black, even though he was completely white (though slightly tanned).

Were you actually eating carrots? They're one of few foods that are good in any form.

Me and my brother drew a line down the middle of our room when we could not stand each other, we knew it never worked out on TV but we thought it would work for us. it did not

Easy sex on college.

>they are not
Yes they are.

Winking at someone you got the hots being charming.

I don't like carrots in almost any form.
But i'm fine with pretty much all other vegetables, idk why.

I had a black best friend

Friends will help you when you feel down like take you out to see a movie, to eat, to play video games, bowling, parties, etc.

Instead they are more like '' Do you feel bad? Call me when you get over it. Still feeling bad? I'm just going to talk with you less and less then.''

Was he your nerdy sidekick?

I thought food fights were a thing that actually happened.

Ended up getting suspended for a week for hitting a kid in the face with a corncob.

I thought there was another earth on the other side of the sun, has this been disproven?

because of all the montages I thought it would be easy to get fit

I thought that pure energy was a thing, don't care enough anymore to verify that

I never bought into the veggies are gross thing though, brussel sprouts are god teir


they are you pleb

Same. The way he ate them, it seemed like they were crunchy and almost crispy like potato chips.

Instead they're just sort of tough, very stringy, bitter pieces of shit that are only just barely edible. Gotta cook that nonsense real well until it's soft and easy to swallow.

Nah, you just have shitty friends.

We were both nerds, but in this case, I would be the sidekick

The Saxophne Jazzman used to be a common sight on urban areas but they were driven to the brink of extinction in their natural habitat by security guards. Here is a footage of one of the lasts wild saxophone jazzman youtu.be/GaoLU6zKaws

Girls are pure and much more pruddish than men when it comes to sex and lewdness.

But they are crunchy and almost like potatoe chips

You're supposed to cut off the skin mate.

There is a saxophone jazzman on the street I work. I even got him a gig at an office party once. It's funny how he fits the stereotype.

Girls are cleaner and more organized than guys.

i used to think Treehouses were a common thing until i started going out and realized that there were barely trees were i live

also i tought that there were really some secret ways of becoming a hero or superhero, like some kind of real life K.N.D or a secret hero school for kids that really want to fight evil

So majestic

The Girls Bathroom is clean and pristine.

Holy shit, it should be illegal to lie so blatantly.

>also i tought that there were really some secret ways of becoming a hero or superhero, like some kind of real life K.N.D or a secret hero school for kids that really want to fight evil

There were.
You just weren't worthy.

Dodgeball being hardcore.

I played a lot of dodgeball when I was a kid at P.E. and it was pretty tame, even though you would occasionally get hit in the face or the nuts.

Broccoli tastes bad


it's actually ok

Simpson's made me think bars and taverns were all "Moes" and all of them had a surly guy named Moe running it and if you were named Moe you were destined to grow up to be a bartender.

I also thought androids were real and giant robots were a thing. I also thought X-Men's mutants were real and thought I might be a mutant.

I mean, you could have at least thrown something less solid. Every food fight starts with mashed potatoes because they can't knock out teeth or leave bruises.

>If you believe hard enough you can visit a magical world
>if you stand up to the bully everyone will have your back and you won't get your ass beat
>muster up the courage to ask her to the dance and she'll say yes

>I thought there was another earth on the other side of the sun, has this been disproven?

What cartoons made you believe that??

The idea that kids who don't fit in or have a hard time in high school have everything work out for them in college

Goddamn I'm still pissed about this lie

That Spider-Man one, but it being a cartoon based off of a comic I really should have known better. It just made sense

Th-this isn't true

I hope it's not, I would love a pervert gf

New Jersey is a shithole

They are.
Toward you.

Let's be honest, by the time you were old enough to be in high school you should know better than to believe the television's lies.

Yeah, but that only happens when you have friends.

Fun fact: The whole "eating carrots gives you better eye sight" was a propaganda bit from world war two. The allied bomb sights were so superior that the command had to come up with a reason why that didn't give it away. Bugs Bunny was in the war and he ate carrots, so the smoke screen was that American pilots ate more carrots and that gave them better eye sight. It became ingrained in the culture and even to this day, it's taken as a fact. Beta carotene will help your eyes. It will not give you better eye sight.

Ahahaha wat

Take it from someone who was in high school and is now a high school teacher.

From ages 15 to 18, they're as much of a horndog as any guy, but more subtle about it.

You're a fag.

>teachers like nerds
>classmates like nerds
>tomboys like nerds
>nerds like other nerds
>ANYONE likes nerds

Also,
>nerds are smart
>nerds become successful as adults

It's not?

I was a nerd and people liked me.

You can be a nerd as long as you're not a complete dweeb.

And how would you know that, as a teacher?
Wanna take a seat?

I have eyes and a classroom of 50+ students.

I've seen some shit, man.

>tfw the dumbest, loud mouthed, trouble makers are actually very well liked by the teachers and staff because they can make them laugh

I ate tons of spinach as a kid thanks to that cartoon and now I'm built like an brick wall.

You just didn't eat enough my friend.

...

>classroom of 50+ students.

That's a big class.

Also not that I want to derail the thread, but you made me curious. What's the most fucked up shit you saw?

Well, yeah, they're outgoing and generally charming. And teachers love to play favorites.

Incorrect, a lack of Vitamin A causes blindness. Beta Carotene can be metabolized into Vitamin A.

beer tasting good (as a kid, i watched alot of the simpsons and thought it would be sweet kinda like a soda )
once you acquire a taste for it though it's not bad

the trick is to be appealing

I hear more than I see, but what I did see, relating to sex.

>Heavy petting in the empty classroom ahead of the beginning of the school day.

>An impromptu sexy dance in the middle of class.

>An impromptu double-road sexy massage session.

>Kids of both genders looking at porn. And not the vanilla kind. Both in their cellphones and on the school computer. One got the entire system infected with malware.

>A girl loosing her top and a boy instinctively going for the boobs, claiming he's "covering her up".

>Kids both genders trying to tease their teachers.

>Kid climaxing from accidental dry-humping.

Plus they're having sex in the bathrooms. We know, they know it, even their parents know it.

Which is kinda bullshit. I'm working on becoming a teacher myself, and i believe teachers should care for and nurture every young mind, even the students who may not like the teacher in question.

Storytime?

the trick to standing up to bullies to kick the beta of the group's ass

Holy shit this is my fetish

I dont think its on purpose dude, you will naturally find some student with outgoing or charming personalities that you will like more, even if you try not to

I meant
>Kid climaxing from accidental dry-humping.
specifically.

How do you accidentally dry hump anyway?

>teachers like nerds
>classmates like nerds
>tomboys like nerds
>nerds like other nerds
>ANYONE likes nerds

What did you watch that gave you these impressions. Every piece of media I saw as a kid portrayed nerds as universally loathed/shunned.

>nerds are smart

They are. I think you're confusing 'nerd' with 'geek'. Nerds are proficient in academics. Geeks are proficient in inconsequential activities.

your sex ed classes must be fucking lit, all that happened in mine was a white guy in a gucci hat asking what a clitoris is

All teachers start like that, but lose the sentiment eventually.

Depends on where you end up, though. It is known the biggest source of soul-crushing despair is high school.

>This is just the stuff one teacher saw
>Haven't even been on a date yet

He had a girl sitting on his lap and she was moving around. Whether she felt his boner or not I don't know, but she moved enough for his to nut in his pants. It wasn't pretty, though, every one saw it and she walked away in disgust.

I was bored as shit in sex Ed because I knew all this shit from porn and the anatomy from hentai manga.

We don't have sex ed, we just go through the basics on Biology class.

>anatomy
>hentai manga

oh, buddy

I'll try my best not to give them special treatment. God, I really don't want to become one of those teachers. It's a scary thought, but I'm hell bent on teaching my favorite subject (English) and passing it on to the future. And if they don't like the subject, the best I can hope for is that I leave a Mr. Keating-esque impression on them and they leave as better people.

It was all those X ray shots and those oddly specific descriptions if what was happening. It was enough to pass a high school sex Ed class.

It was just one, at least back in thrid grade. One big one. As I stood up to him I realized that no one else really cared, as he was the cool kid and only fucked with me. I tried to back down but it was too late.

When everyone was walking home from school he punched me in the face a few times and ran off. As I layed there in the snow with blood rushing out of my nose I realized that I should be more careful when picking my battles

I worked in a high school for 2 weeks as an electrician, can confirm.

not where I grew up. teacher liked kids that fucking learned something. or knew how to talk to an adult.

but then again in my shitty town most loudmouth trouble makers were also the illiterate kids that had bad hygiene.
