Caillou Gets Grounded (series)

NOTE: This also applies to Rosie Gets Grounded, Daisy Gets Grounded, Boris Gets Grounded, Classic Caillou Gets Grounded, and every part of the Anderson family.

Caillou Gets Grounded is a popular series of videos created by various users on GoAnimate/Vyond. It is based on the Canadian children's animated series, Caillou. It began with the release of the first video, "Caillou Calls His Baby Sister “Stupid”/Grounded", which was uploaded to YouTube by African Vulture on December 13, 2013. Since then, the series has grown in popularity, with thousands of videos being created ever since.

Why Each Day, It Won't Grow at All

 * 1) The main problem with this series is that it portrays characters from its source material as troublemakers and utilizes the "It's made for kids" excuse, which is a lazy, uninspired and repetitive approach for video creation. It would later serve as the basis for other grounded series based on preschool shows.
 * 2) All of the characters have been horribly flanderized.
 * 3) * Caillou is at his absolute worst here, as he is often treated as a punching bag by the other characters, unlike his actual show counterpart where he (although usually throwing tantrums and/or acting like a Gary-Stu) is a curious child with a big imagination. He is also controlled by the user themselves, making him a boring and defenseless protagonist who receives no character development whatsoever.
 * 4) ** In some videos, he has been shown to be racist to his friends, unlike the original series:
 * 5) ***For Clementine, he uses slurs towards her, which is offensive towards the African audience.
 * 6) ***For Leo, he harasses him and calls him a ginger, which is offensive towards people with red hair.
 * 7) ***And for Sarah, he says hateful things to her, which is offensive towards the Asian audience.
 * 8) * Boris (Caillou's dad) receives the biggest flanderization, as he has turned from a good-natured, honorable and compassionate father into a mean father with no real personality, and most of the times he likes to ground and scold his son just for stupid, and hatred reasons. He's at his absolute worst in OfficerPoop247/Go!Thug247, Harry Strack and Roku Kun The Vyonder's videos as he is depicted as a psychopathic, cruel, sadistic, insufferable and weapon wielding criminal who gives Caillou harsh punishments. He also tends to plan on world dominance, as shown in the fanmade Caillou Gets Grounded movie made by Isaac Anderson, making him a saint to Old Lady Munson from Kid vs. Kat, who tries to physically abuse Coop Burtonburger to the extreme. There are some exceptions where he gets punished for his actions in some videos and his grounded series.
 * 9) * Doris (Caillou's mom) has become a hypocritical, stereotypical, hostile, unlikable, and pointless mean mother who also abuses her son.
 * 10) * Rosie (Caillou's sister) has become an incredibly annoying Mary-Sue who defends Mom and Dad. Like Caillou in general, she is also used as a butt-monkey in her grounded series.
 * 11) * Miss Martin has also become an unlikable character in school-themed episodes of the series, in contrast to her caring and supportive personality in the actual show. She always abuses, teases, and scolds Caillou or any other character from the Anderson family just for mean-spirited reasons, as opposed to being a caring, honorable and compassionate teacher like in the real series.
 * 12) *Clementine's mother has become a corrupt school principal who punishes students at an extreme, as opposed to being a caring and good-natured mom like the real series.
 * 13) *Caillou's friends (like Leo, Clementine, Sarah) have gone from supportive, well-meaning, and kind peers to toxic friends that treat him like trash. They rarely get punished by their parents, along with Jorge (Clementine's father) and Billy (Clementine's older brother).
 * 14) No sufficient research on the original and actual franchise has been put into this series, which leads to a very inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of the show.
 * 15) With the only exceptions being Caillou, Rosie, Boris, Doris, Ms. Martin, and sometimes Gilbert and the titular character's friends like Leo, Clementine, Sarah, along with Andy and Alan, the rest of the canonical cast are usually absent from this series.
 * 16) Caillou's family name in these videos is Anderson, but Caillou himself is never revealed to have a surname in the TV series, and it looks like that they got the "Anderson" idea from Issac Anderson.
 * 17) They also redundantly expanded Caillou's family by including members such as Daillou, Daisy, Cody, Lily, and other frequent characters.
 * 18) Clementine's mother is portrayed as a principal, even though we don't know her canonical job. This even occurs through most other grounded series with preschool shows, using Clementine's mother as a principal.
 * 19) Caillou is shown to have an extreme obsession and fondness over Chuck E. Cheese, even though it was never shown in the actual show. It can also get really tiring when he constantly asks about ordering their pizza, when he could easily enjoy the food that's been given to him.
 * 20) Very cheap animation, as with every GoAnimate/Vyond video.
 * 21) Awful cartoon sound effects and character designs. The characters just look like if they were stolen from other adult animated series like Family Guy or King of the Hill.
 * 22) In many cases, Caillou's parents (Boris and Doris) call him "a bald piece of crap", which is very offensive to anyone that is bald, no matter the circumstances.
 * 23) The punishment day videos in the series are either cruel, disgusting, ugly, bloody, heartbreaking, torturous, gross, anger-inducing, disturbing, mean-spirited, abysmal, shocking, or grotesque, and the list goes on, as it shows Caillou being tortured in a variety of ways. Which also angers Child Services and the FBI in the process.
 * 24) The parents never get punished for their actions, making them Karma Houdinis.
 * 25) The plots are always overused and are always rip-offs of certain episodes, but worse. As such, it causes the episodes to feel rather formulaic, and the plots come off as pointless or generic. Some of the videos even repeat a plot over and over again.
 * 26) The series teaches viewers a lot of bad morals, such as:
 * 27) * Cheating
 * 28) * Beating a person severely
 * 29) * Abusing
 * 30) * Fighting
 * 31) * Being a Karma Houdini
 * 32) While they were popular in Vyond's Golden Age and used to have redeeming qualities, the heavy amount of the backlash the grounded series has gotten and the fact that there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it can ruin the viewer's childhood more than the actual show, due to how mean-spirited it is by its cruelty to comedy. In fact, those videos were the reason why Vyond's Golden age had abruptly ended, causing the community's downfall and ruined Vyond itself.
