I hate to bring back a dead meme but what are those? It look like someone turned a 12-year-old's OC into shoes.

Good riddance

I’m surprised it wasn’t gone sooner. Even as a kid it was horrible. I think I was like 6 or 7 when I saw it (I used to watch PBS for Cyberchase, Arthur and a few other shows) but I remember it was the worst. The actual thing that even as a kid you could tell sucked.

The Wikipedia page for that show is hysterical:

Caillou has received extremely negative reviews worldwide.[citation needed] In a May 2017 article from the National Post, writer Tristin Hopper identified Caillou to be "quite possibly the world's most universally reviled children's program", noting "a stunning level of animosity for a series about the relatively uncontroversial daily life of a four-year-old boy."[21]

The series is known by many people[who?] to be an extremely negative influence on children, as the main character often throws tantrums to get what he wants and is never punished for it. There are several "I hate Caillou" pages made on Facebook, posts saying that Caillou is a ripoff of Charlie Brown, numerous parenting blogs criticizing the series, and petitions on Change.org for the show to stop airing. A common criticism towards the series is the "petulant, manipulative and spoiled" behaviour of the titular character, the lack of consequences Caillou is given, and the "poor parenting" presented in the parent characters. As Hopper explained, "This has understandably led to theories that this is an accurate portrayal of Canadian parenting and that Canada is raising a generation of psychopaths. Or that Caillou's parents are so blasted on Canadian weed that they are unable to summon the presence of mind necessary to properly discipline their child."[21]

The episode "Big Brother Caillou" was notoriously banned because of the scene where Caillou pinches his newborn sister Rosie, and is not punished for it. Hopper called the series "[A] toddler version of Sex and the City or Mad Men", criticizing its lack of educational value: "Unlike most children's programming, Caillou makes almost no attempt to educate its young audience. There are no veiled math problems, spelling lessons or morality tales; it's just calm, non-threatening, bright-coloured people navigating everyday tasks."[21] These criticisms of the show's titular character have been echoed on online platforms.[22] On a segment of the late-night talk show Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver hyperbolically exclaimed "Fuck you, Caillou!" in a comedic comparison.[23]

As Caillou appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books, he originally had no hair. When illustrators found that adding hair made him look unrecognizable, it was decided that Caillou would never have hair.[24][25] This has led to an urban legend that the protagonist has cancer.
