This is another simulcast blog in that I'm posting it on three different wikis. You know how people write "Lost Episode" pastas about children's shows? Don't worry, this isn't one of them. This is just to talk about something which shows that from time to time there actually is a bizarre episode of a children's show. Years ago there was a show called Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! that was meant for preschoolers, and an episode called "Everything's Coming Up Wubbzy" had loneliness, corrupt scientific experimentation, radical hypnotism, and the loss of identity. You think I'm kidding? Here's the wikia page for it- https://wubbzy.wikia.com/wiki/Everything%27s_Coming_Up_Wubbzy The plot is one of the characters makes a helmet that can make whoever wears it act like Wubbzy. Think about that. Someone created a device that causes the wearer to lose their identity and become just like another person. It was shown that afterward the subject doesn't remember what happened while they were wearing the Wubbzy hat. Does anyone else find this unsettling? I feel that if this plot were played straight in a sci-fi horror movie, that would be one of the most terrifying movies ever made.

Here's a copy of the episode on Dailymotion so you can watch it for yourselves. I also did a two-part reaction to this episode on my YouTube channel because I remembered seeing part of it while flipping through the channels years ago and decided to watch the whole episode. I was surprised by how nonchalant the characters were about this. "Hey, I invented this personality-altering helmet!" "Cool, let's go test it on our friend without his knowledge or consent!"
