Grounded and punishment videos are by far the most common type of videos made with Vyond and sometimes Plotagon. The first of these was Diaper grounding by PoseidonGodofWater20 Productions, uploaded on April 30, 2011, but the first well known grounded video was Brian Gets In Trouble At School, uploaded on July 2, 2011. They became popular with a video called Caillou calls his Baby Sister Stupid / Grounded, which was uploaded by African Vulture in December 2013 and later re-uploaded by the FunEditor4 on November 3, 2018.

Plot
A child (usually Caillou, but sometimes other characters such as Peppa Pig, Little Bill, and Dora) or sometimes a parent or an adult (Brian, Caillou's dad, or Eric) does something bad like skipping school, bringing an NC-17 rated movie to school, getting a dead meat card, wishing someone an unhappy birthday, getting fat at McDonald's, farting in a classroom, misbehaving at Chuck E. Cheese's, etc. After that, he or she gets grounded for a very long time.

Why Many Of Them (Intentionally or Mostly) Deserve To Be Grounded
NOTE: Some of them are made as jokes and are intentionally made to be bad.
 * 1) The troublemaker often does bad things for no legit reason other than for the sake of him/her getting grounded just to learn a lesson.
 * 2) When the troublemaker is getting grounded, his/her parents say "Oh!" over ten times or more, then tell them that they're grounded over and over (usually 3 times) which gets really annoying really fast.
 * 3) Most of these videos can ruin the viewer's childhood since characters from niche audience shows are the main victims. The most common grounded victims are, as stated above, mh:terribletvshows:Caillou, Dora the Explorer, Lola Loud, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, mh:terribletvshows:Peppa Pig, mh:besttvshows:Arthur, and mh:besttvshows:Little Bill.
 * 4) * Since late 2020, people now think it's a good idea to make Caillou's shirt gray because they think Caillou is only bad in the first two seasons and that using yellow shirt Caillou getting grounded is "misleading", when that's obviously not the case since there's a lot of problems with modern Caillou which is why Caillou as a character (even with the yellow shirt) is mediocre when it comes to saying something at least good to him, and it's just a parody.
 * 5) ** Some people even make grounded videos of non-troublemakers; for example, in the television show, mh:terribletvshows:Kid vs. Kat, Coop is always grounded by Buck Diamond and Mayor Humdinger neither of whom are any way related to him at all. In fact, Coop is shown to be a good protagonist, and has a father and a sister. This shows that people who make grounded videos out of him clearly hadn't watched the show at all or did any research on the characters.
 * 6) Some people make grounded videos out of other users or real life people, which can be considered cyberbullying.
 * 7) People also often times make grounded videos out of adults such as Bob the Builder, Joe from mh:besttvshows:Blue's Clues, Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House, Barney the Dinosaur, Postman Pat, Pain from Naruto, King Pig and Corporal Pig from Angry Birds, Boris and Doris (Caillou's parents), Manny Garcia from Handy Manny, and Elena (Dora's mom) when in real life, adults cannot get grounded and the limited age to get grounded at is 18, making the "adults gets grounded series" dumpster fires, and pure bullcrap.
 * 8) *Several grounded videos of Joe from Blue's Clues exist; they were primarily made by TheColossalD and Pooh 'n Ponies.
 * 9) *On top of that, ever since Boris gets grounded was dying out there's now this series called "Coris gets grounded" or "Toris gets grounded" but what they didn't know is that Coris and Toris are both Boris and the only difference both of those characters have are the color of their clothing which Coris has a red jacket, black pants, and yellow shoes and Toris having a grey jacket while Boris has a green jacket, blue pants, and red shoes but aside from that, Coris and Toris are basically just Boris in different clothes coloring.
 * 10) *As mentioned in WMFS #3, there has also been a series of "Classic Characters" where a character has, for some reason a bad counterpart with a grey shirt. As mentioned above, Classic Caillou is just Caillou with different colored clothing. While Caillou did wear gray in the first season of the original series, he didn't after, along with the fact that "Classic Caillou" is a completely separate character as Caillou makes the "Classic" prefix completely nonsensical.
 * 11) *They sometimes even get grounded by their own child or people that are in no way related to them; an example of this is in the "Bob the Builder Gets Grounded" series, where he gets grounded by Farmer Pickles and/or his partner Wendy, even though Farmer Pickles is in no way related to Bob in the actual show, and neither is Wendy.
 * 12) ** To make matters worse, Bob is shown to have a father and a mother as seen in the actual show, which shows that the people who make these grounded series clearly have not actually watched the show before making the grounded series.
 * 13) Adding on with Coris and Toris, those aren't even close to actual names, as they only replaced the B in his name, which is lazy. In addition, there are several other characters who have been lazily named, including:
 * 14) *The Caillou brothers, (e.g. Daillou, Baillou, and Paillou) which are clones of Caillou with different clothing color (after Tbone Animate’s video Caillou grows hair back, they all have hair).
 * 15) *Fora the Currer, who is the evil version of Dora. She wears a red T-shirt and blue shorts.
 * 16) *And some other characters as well, which including Rosie, Boris, and Doris.
 * 17) Depending on the type of grounded video, they are extremely repetitive and often reuse the same plot over and over again, just with different characters.
 * 18) * Even almost all of the videos have the same backgrounds, rooms, and houses. The videos where the characters are in real life or non-GoAnimate animation backgrounds look awful, as the GoAnimate character's feet aren't fully on the ground.
 * 19) Little-to-no research is done and most of the videos contain absolutely no common sense whatsoever and add in stuff that do not make any sense:
 * 20) *The troublemaker's grounding sentence almost always lasts several years, often times lasting decades, centuries or even millennia, which is just crazy, outright mentally insane, and completely unrealistic. In real life, you'd be dead long before your grounding is over!
 * 21) *As mentioned earlier, Bob the Builder is shown to have actual parents in the show whom became recurring characters after their introduction in Bob the Builder: The Knights of Fix-a-Lot, but for some reason, every grounded video involving him always has Bob being grounded by Farmer Pickles or Wendy, which doesn't make any sense as Bob is shown to have a good relationship with Farmer Pickles and Wendy, and neither of them are related to him.
 * 22) *Caillou is seen dating either Dora or Gina in a lot of videos, when he's way too young for a girlfriend since he's just 4 years old Seriously? A 4 year old dating a girl?
 * 23) **Besides that, Dora is also shown to be dating Caillou or Little Bill. Like mentioned before, Dora is way too young to have a boyfriend. Why couldn't they wait to date each other and just stayed as friends until they are teenagers? Because in real life, the average age to start dating is either 15 or 16 years old.
 * 24) *In most videos, characters under the age of 1 to 3 years old have the ability to speak proper English, despite the fact that in real life, it takes some time to succeed that. Most children start saying actual words around the age of 3, but then again, 3-year-olds are too young. Most people who speak proper English are sometimes 5 years old, but usually 6 and 7.
 * 25) *In videos where the troublemaker insults their newborn sibling, the sibling is actually able to understand English, despite the fact that they have been in the world for less than a minute.
 * 26) Sometimes, the grounded victim does something good, yet still gets grounded. For example, a user named AnthonyTheVyonder (formerly known as Go!Thug247 or OfficerPoop247) made a video on his old channel called "Paul rants on grounded videos / grounded" where Paul does a good thing but still gets grounded for it.
 * 27) The character could also get in trouble just for getting in dead meat, which is unfair since a character the user likes gets a good card while a character the user hates gets a bad one.
 * 28) Some scenes can also scare kids and users who come across these videos, like the Red Alert/Double Red Alert sound effects, some FNAF jumpscare sounds and ear rapes. They mostly don't even deign to add warnings.
 * 29) They use boring and pointless text-to-speech voices, which make them sound monotonous and robotic.
 * 30) *When the character cries, they sound like this: Wah. aaaeeeeeee, aw, Wah (several times), Wally eeeeeeee, ooah or Wahrrrrrrr. Said crying sounds are very glitchy and unrealistic due to the technical capabilities of the speech system.
 * 31) *When they say Grrr, the sound expression is pronounced by saying the letters in the word, such as "G-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r".
 * 32) *Also, if the character says "Ahhhh", the letters in the word are pronounced as well.
 * 33) In these videos, some people hate shows like Barney & Friends just because they're for a niche audience.
 * 34) They contain the same overused music such as Big Rock, Suspense, Devil's Lair, etc. Some of them don't even have background music which makes the video boring and monotonous.
 * 35) The animation is also very cheap. Literally, when the characters move to express pain or discomfort, they are literally dancing or when they eat something, they just move their mouths while closing them and that's it. Even the late Looney Tunes shorts outright had so much better animation compared to these cheap lackluster computer generated atrocities. In fact, many of these videos outright use stock-images online for certain characters.
 * 36) *Some videos are even aware of their laziness and have a character break the fourth wall to admit their laziness, for example, if one character asks why such thing is floating or such thing is of a certain color, which the other character answers "GoAnimate/Vyond logic".
 * 37) *Lots of the Comedy World character designs are lazy, as they look too stock.
 * 38) A good majority of these videos have characters getting grounded for stupid and nonsensical reasons, such as:
 * 39) *Making fake VHS/DVD openings
 * 40) *Doing activities relating to certain holidays at the wrong time of the year (both of these are common with a user named Nicholas Crockett with his two now ended Zombie Jackson gets Grounded series)
 * 41) *Farting in class
 * 42) *Failing a pop quiz
 * 43) *Appearing on TV
 * 44) *Dancing naked
 * 45) *Getting a math question wrong
 * 46) *Expressing their opinion on something (ranting/saluting on a subject or saying yes/no to something)
 * 47) *Being held back to the previous grade
 * 48) *Creating a YouTube Account
 * 49) *Buying something they like
 * 50) *Singing his or her theme song
 * 51) *Breathing (Yes, really)
 * 52) *Crying after being born
 * 53) *Insulting their siblings after they were born
 * 54) *Being grounded already
 * 55) *Chewing gum in class
 * 56) *Going up someone's body
 * 57) *Existing (That too!)
 * 58) *Telling a joke in class
 * 59) *Getting fat at McDonald's
 * 60) *Even for no reason whatsoever
 * 61) The videos listed below are probably the worst kinds of grounded videos:
 * 62) *X Destroys the Buildings and Gets Grounded, which is probably the worst type of grounded videos. The synopsis goes as following: Outside of a store, the troublemaker is with a parent/guardian, not that often a third character. The troublemaker tells the parent/guardian if they can go to either saying that it's nearby, or that they want to go to it. The parent/guardian says that they can't go, and the argument continues a few times. The troublemaker finally loses it, and turns into a giant, and destroys a few buildings. After it’s over, the troublemaker goes back to normal size, and the characters go home. At home, usually one or more extra characters there, the parent/guardian gives them they’re grounding sentence, and the troublemaker goes to their room crying.
 * 63) **Firstly, how can someone grow that big without any legit reason?
 * 64) **Secondly, you wouldn't get grounded for destroying buildings. Instead, you would be arrested or even executed.
 * 65) **Lastly, why were there not any people screaming while the city was being destroyed?
 * 66) *In "(Group of Characters) Grounds the Whole World and Get Grounded". Though the idea sounds kind of cool, they're actually really horrible. The synopsis: A says that they're tired of being grounded all the time, and come up with an idea about grounding the entire world. They call a few friends about their plan, and one of the troublemakers says that there's a Broadcasting HQ nearby. After meeting up, they go into the building, and record themselves to the world in front of a single-color background to anyone in the entire world using a Television. They proceed to hijack the television feed and replace it with the recording, where they tell all the viewers that they're tired of everyone grounding them, and that they're all grounded. Everyone on Earth, even if they're not watching, start crying. After one family member finds out, they call the other troublemakers family members and one member of each troublemaker tells them to come home for all the drama they've caused. At the end, there is a transition of each troublemaker getting grounding the rest of their family, and the characters go to their rooms crying.
 * 67) **Firstly, it's not possible to air a single video feed to the entire world all at once.
 * 68) **Secondly, why would everyone on Earth, including the people who aren't watching TV start crying? Everyone has more than one emotion, and most of the people watching would probably be angry and frustrated. Also, why would everyone believe they are grounded after people who have no authority over them ground them?
 * 69) **Third, how is it possible for the troublemakers to get into the studio, despite not even asking the people in there? If they were there, the people who work there would kick the troublemakers and tell them what they want to do. Also, how can you instantly make a video/announcement? It would take a few minutes or days, not right away.
 * 70) **Lastly, How could people in countries that don't speak the language that the troublemakers are using even understand the message that the troublemakers are delivering?
 * 71) *X Ruins Y's Birthday / Grounded, though only for the movie theatre ones. This is very likely the most repetitive type of grounded video. The synopsis: The entire family is getting ready to go for that one character's birthday. The troublemaker asks if they can stay home, and one of the parents says "No." The troublemaker then says "Fine." in a frustrated tone, and they all start driving. Near the start of the way to the theatres, the troublemaker says that they're hungry, and that they want to go to a fast food restaurant. The driver says no, because they can get food at the theatres. They continue to engage the driver about wanting food, until the character who is driving the car finally says "Fine, but don't make it too long." About half an hour later, the troublemaker comes back into the car, where the driver is sleeping. The driver tells the troublemaker that they went to sleep because it took to long, and they continue driving. The troublemaker then throws the food they bought out of the car window, and (for some reason) the car loses control and starts flipping, taking them to the movie theatre. One of the characters who was in the movie theatre comes out and tells the family that the movie is over, and that it will never be played again. After being told, the character who is having their birthday starts crying, and the rest of the family is angry at the troublemaker. They go home, and the rest of the family, excluding that one character who is crying, give the troublemaker their grounding sentence, and go to their rooms crying.
 * 72) *This type of grounded video has two plot holes:
 * 73) **Firstly, how can a single piece of food cause a car to go off it's wheels? Though it's possible at a high enough speed, the car was driving at a normal speed.
 * 74) **Also, why would a movie only be played one time? The fact that a movie would never play again after one time makes absolutely no sense. While this is considered lost media, it's much rarer nowadays, as technology was not as advanced back then.
 * 75) *As said above, this is very likely to be the most repetitive type of grounded video. This is because each video has the same entire plot, just with different characters and a different restaurant.
 * 76) *Due to limited backgrounds, the movie theatre truly looks like a fancy restaurant.
 * 77) Even worse, the troublemaker sometimes gets executed by the law for repeating these bad behaviors despite them not even being criminal offenses.
 * 78) Sometimes when a character gets grounded, their parent will call a bunch of random people over to their house to interrogate the grounded character or discuss the punishments they will be getting. This gets annoying and repetitive and really only exists as filler to pad out most of the remaining running time. (user Nicholas Crockett has done this a lot with his previously mentioned Zombie Jackson gets Grounded series)
 * 79) Ungrounded videos are not any better because they have the same plot of grounded videos, except the kid does something good and gets rewarded.
 * 80) *Sometimes, the kid does something that deserves punishment, such as destroying Nick Jr. or PBS Kids, all because of Dora the Explorer or Barney the Purple Dinosaur, but then again, they get rewarded all because of it. There's also a Plotagon video where Caillou blows up the Sony Pictures Animation HQ, yet he gets ungrounded. There are even types of videos when a kid arrests someone, and yet they still get ungrounded and rewarded.
 * 81) * The kid getting ungrounded might not even be grounded at the beginning, so what's the point of being ungrounded if you're not even grounded in the first place?
 * 82) In many of these videos, a certain plot plays out where every time a student misbehaves at school, they get held back a grade, or in this case, they are moved back from, say, 12th grade to 11th grade. That's not even the definition of "held back". To be held back would mean that you would have to repeat the same grade again the next year, not get sent back a grade that same year. It's also unrealistic to go back from high school to elementary school for example.
 * 83) Many grounded videos have disturbing content, such as punishment day videos as well as one that has Dora putting rat poison in the school lunch.
 * 84) Punishment day videos, speaking of which, have punishments that can't even be considered punishments; it's nothing but plain cruelty, and child abuse. They consist of the troublemaker being forced to do things like:
 * 85) *Drink toilet water.
 * 86) *Eat or Drink poison.
 * 87) *Be spanked in the butt.
 * 88) *Drink pee of someone else's.
 * 89) *Be wildly mutilated or beaten.
 * 90) *Get sent to scary logos, such as Klasky Csupo's "Super Scary Face", Viacom's "V of Doom", ВИD's "Mask of Guo Xiang", WGBH Boston's "Neon Sign", THX's "Deep Note", Screen Gems' "S from Hell", or the Nickelodeon pinchface. None of them are actually scary, and most people won’t get nightmares. They’re only frightening to watch.
 * 91) * Listen to loud music or sounds until he/she is bleeding from the ears or goes deaf.
 * 92) * Take a shower with water that is 1000 degrees (both positive and negative) which will instantly kill you, or freeze you to death, (it's also not possible to go below the absolute zero, -273.15 degrees).
 * 93) *Having his/her favorite things burned, broken or crushed no matter what price.
 * 94) *Being dropped from the air.
 * 95) *Wear diapers, or worse, be treated like a baby (which means things like baby food, sleeping in a crib, and daycare).
 * 96) *Watch preschool shows or prime-time shows not owned/produced/distributed by companies they like, which especially applies to videos involving Warren Cook.
 * 97) **Speaking of Warren Cook, he is very close-minded and is too old to get grounded. Some new videos show him as a good man.
 * 98) *Take an extremely fiery hot sauce or an extremely frigid soda.
 * 99) * Getting brutally killed or executed (as it followed along with the others celebrating the troublemaker's death at the end, which is considered as disrespecting the dead).
 * 100) * Being harassed to eat food he/she doesn't like.
 * 101) While it isn't too common, some people who watch might become uncomfortable due to the inclusion of nudity, pedophilia, incest, pee, vomit, feces and blood, mutilation, female periods, etc.
 * 102) *A video has Arthur and D.W. getting grounded for dancing naked, which is highly inappropriate.
 * 103) **Speaking of naked, Arthur and D.W. aren't even dancing naked, but are actually dancing with clothes that are the same color as their hair.
 * 104) *Another video shows Caillou raping and having sex with Rosie, then being raped by Boris.
 * 105) Absolutely atrocious and horrific morals: You should ground your kids for very long periods of time and abuse them. The parents never even get punished for abusing their kids, making them Karma Houdinis.
 * 106) ** Even though they do bad stuff like call the baby stupid it’s still not an excuse for parents.
 * 107) Some punishments are pretty offensive, such as Caillou getting sent to India in one video as a punishment, or Dora getting sent to Italy in another, and being able to speak Italian as soon as she gets there by the way.
 * 108) Speaking of offensive, some videos can even contain racially insensitive content, one of the most infamous examples being Boris the Teeth Guy, an evil version of Caillou's father who uses profanities and all sorts of racial and homophobic slurs like bitch and faggot.
 * 109) *Not only is Boris' evil clone racist and offensive to slurs, the actual Boris and Doris are also very offensive to bald people. For example, during the Caillou Gets Grounded series whenever Caillou does something wrong and he and his wife Doris would ground him, and send him to his room, and usually at the end of Boris's talking he would say "a bald piece of shit (which is another word for poop and crap)" which is extremely offensive towards people who are bald.
 * 110) Most grounded videos contain the word, "um", a lot when the victim tries to confess, and then they tell the truth, which can get annoying, additionally, if they lie, then the parents will correct them, why bother asking them if you already know what they did?
 * 111) Dora's mother is prejudiced against her own daughter, despite being Mexican herself, meaning she's a hypocrite. It's also an offense especially to the Mexican audience.
 * 112) Some of these videos depict a troublemaker celebrating someone's death.
 * 113) *Like for example, the infamous and pointless video called, Dora And Caillou Get Executed Big Time, their parents (Boris, Doris, Elena, and Miguel), and various people (such as Sonic) celebrate the death of Caillou and Dora just for a stupid reason. In real life, you should be giving credit to a person who passed away. Not celebrating which shows how much of these idiots these characters are in these grounded videos.
 * 114) *For whatever reason, these types of videos are considered as, disrespecting the dead.
 * 115) In most videos, the troublemakers are brainless and are complete jerks. For example, when they need to throw up or use the washroom, they do it on the spot, when they could easily go to the bathroom instead? Or when their parent tells them they're grounded, they usually cry and always don't try to escape away. Or when they are subjected to punishment day, when they could try to escape to a punishment, do something or defend themselves instead of just yelling and crying?
 * 116) Some people that make these videos are not only SJWs and Obsessive Anti-SJWs, but also Neo-Nazis as well!
 * 117) Most of these rip-off clips from amazing cartoon shows or TV shows, and take them out of context, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons, or even YouTubers' content, such as SuperMarioLogan and, rarely if ever, SMG4.
 * 118) Barney/Character Error Videos: They are outright awful, pointless, and make no sense in context. Look them up yourself online, and you'll immediately catch the point.
 * 119) Latin American videos are much worse than American ones, since the editing is worse and lazier, most of them are copies of other existing videos and they are only about expressing hatred for a character.
 * 120) Characters clip at times throughout the video, making them look like they're feet are touching the desk of the other Character next to them.
 * 121) While the lip syncing is okay for most of the themes, some of them have bad lip syncing as they either don't fit up with the voices, or they don't fit up with the emotion.
 * 122) Often, due to many of the videos being made with weak hardware and then screen-recorded with Bandicam or a similar software, there tends to be a lot of lag in these videos, especially when there are a lot of characters on-screen.
 * 123) Some of the punishments involve sending the victim to a foreign country (usually European). They are sent there without '''food, money, and their parents.
 * 124) * And when the said victim attempts to escape the country, the victim will get grounded by a bunch of other people even though they have nothing to do with the video.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) On extremely rare to almost nonexistent cases, grounded videos are okay because the parents don't repeat the word "grounded", and sometimes they even give realistic grounding sentences. Others (like from Ivan the Brony Kaiju and Jacob the Little Witch Academia Bro) never use the word "grounded" and instead has the guardians send the troublemaker to their room.
 * 2) Despite the fact that most of the Comedy World character designs are lazy, the makers have at least tried their best to make the Characters accurate.
 * 3) There are several Satirical videos, parodies, and laziness videos, all of are hilarious, and are actually supposed to be funny.
 * 4) *In the "laziness" versions of grounded videos, bastardized versions of commonly used characters (like Caillou) in these types of videos.
 * 5) The very first grounded video made by adamkleinschmidt2003 wasn't too bad, as it was much more realistic than grounded videos nowadays and the troublemaker actually gets grounded for being rude to the teachers, which is completely understandable for the parents to ground him for that. Besides, it wasn't an exaggeratedly infinite sentence.
 * 6) Though it doesn't usually happen, there are a good amount of videos where the troublemaker tries there best to escape any harm.
 * 7) Despite some videos having very offensive swear words aren't that common, and are also censored, but this censorship still sometimes doesn't include the F and S words. What's even better is that videos with porn in them are actually quite rare.
 * 8) Despite the troublemaker being grounded for a very long time, some videos have characters getting grounded for realistic reasons, such as doing bad things like:
 * 9) *Skipping school
 * 10) *Misbehaving at a certain place
 * 11) *Bullying
 * 12) *Beating someone up
 * 13) *Lying
 * 14) *Sneaking out
 * 15) *Dating someone at an early age (mostly at around 4 to 8)
 * 16) *Being rude to a teacher
 * 17) * Insulting
 * 18) * Being disrespectful to a parent
 * 19) *Refusal on doing certain things (i.e. Homework, Chores, etc.)
 * 20) *Throwing a temper tantrum
 * 21) * Vandalism
 * 22) * Cutting class
 * 23) *Hurting someone's feelings
 * 24) *Mistreatment of a younger sibling
 * 25) *Pirating a movie/video game
 * 26) *Giving someone a Punishment Day (one of the main reasons of getting grounded for excessive child abuse)
 * 27) *Blaming someone else (known as playing a blame game)
 * 28) Some people (such as mh:amazingyoutubers:samster5677 and mh:amazingyoutubers:Kenny Animate for example) put more effort into making their grounded videos by making them more realistic and funny than most grounded videos you can find on YouTube, not to mention that some of them make grounded videos for fun more than just expressing hatred towards a character.
 * 29) Not all grounded videos use characters from other intellectual properties. Some grounded videos are made with original characters.
 * 30) The text-to-speech voices can sound funny sometimes.
 * 31) They could be considered "so bad, they're good". So that makes them usually funny to watch.
 * 32) Some of them poke fun at how unreasonable the grounding reasons are.
 * 33) *In some cases, the parents can also get grounded (like Boris in most cases where he can be portrayed as a troublemaker) for grounding their kids for no reason. Basically, karma.
 * 34) Sometimes grounded videos does show us the consequences of causing trouble, even if not well executed.
 * 35) There's two themes, the Lil' Peepz theme (very seldom used) and the Business Friendly theme, (sometimes used) which are actually a whole lot better than Comedy World. You also have a lot more character movements and reactions to choose from.
 * 36) In some grounded videos, they use more varied music.

Reception
Prior to 2016, these videos were met with praise from (mostly) Vyond/GoAnimate users. However, as years come by, they have mostly received mixed to negative reception from a majority of YouTubers, GoAnimators, and professional animators. They have been criticized for being formulaic, repetitive, predictable, unoriginal, lazy, mean spirited, etc. However, they do have a cult following, with some considering them to be "so bad, they're good".
