Unexpected wholesome Butch Hartman?

52
- 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.
  
  41
- 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

  I agree, which is why it was really unexpected. I agree with others here that it's more likely a rogue animator perhaps snuck it in.

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.

"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 🇵🇸

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.

19
- It seems that relations started in 1975, but formal recognition commenced in 2010:

  19
- Where it shows the 1975?
  
  1
  
  Portuguese Wikipedia
  
  I misunderstood the line that says "O Brasil se soma a uma lista de mais países que reconhecem o Estado Palestino,(...)Reconhecendo também a Organização para a Libertação da Palestina (OLP), desde 1975 como "legítima representante do povo palestino"." as meaning we've recognised the state of Palestine officially since '75
  
  Apparently, according to the govbr site OP linked in reply to me above, stuff is a bit more complicated than that but ye.

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

18
- Here we are 23 years later learning about this, it’s kind of making the nostalgia around this show shine again.

This episode is going to be put on more blocklists than the Teletubbies bear now.

17
- 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?

15
- 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.
  
  11
- I thought it's just Romania, twice.

With how chunky the flags are it could just be Jordan

14
- 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.

sigh guess I need to go write another letter to my MP

Dammit Canada get your shit together and recognize Palestine

13
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

  It was just one country, really.

- 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.

- simply put, i thought it'd be more interesting to do it that way

yea i am not in this list RIP

mine was in 2011

Is it yet another blue-yellow-red flag the last one? That would mean that Romania and Chad were standing close one to another

- Hi, jewish american here. I recognize Palistine, and I have a hard time understanding why "safe for jews" and "recognizing palistine" are mutually exclusive. Could you elaborate on that? Just so you know any answer involving Isreal I'm just going to call antisemetic since conflating jews and Isreal is antisemitic in the same way conflating China and chinese people is racist.
  
  14
- Jewish people have no problems with the recognition of Palestine.
  
  6
- Other then the fact that its the state religion of Israel and the supposed location of some “promised” land.
  
  What do jews in the rest of the world have to do with it.
  
  Surely any decent human being regardless of cultural background understands that bombing schools and hospitals isn't very neighborly.
  
  5
- Jewish americans make up 2% of the population though?
  
  3
- How so?
  
  2
- jewish community fleeing inquisition
  
  I sure wan't expecting this.
