I remember one time when I was a tween, I was at the house of a family friend who was slightly older than me. I was minding my own business, watching a MAD episode when she came in and asked me what I was watching. I explained to her that it was about parodies and stuff like that & she thought the concept sounded innocent enough to let me continue watching. Later on, she walked in the room again while I was watching this clip:

When the scene at 1:09 of the video and she freaked out. She turned off the TV and casually said,

"I don't think you should be watching that,". She didn't seem angry or anything, but still wasn't happy with what she saw on the screen. For years, I wondered what was so inappropriate about that scene. I mean, MAD is a kid show and it's just a teddy bear right...........RIGHT!? Nope......WRONG! That character is Pedobear. No seriously, that is fucking Pedobear. They didn't even attempt to change his appearance in the least. Now that I know who that character is, I can definitely understand why she didn't think what I was watching was appropriate. Anybody who is familiar with those memes would never expect to see Pedobear on a kid show, so it makes sense why she thought I was watching some adult cartoon lol.
