Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Dial M For Monkey: Barbequor" - Dexter's Laboratory

Dexter's Laboratory was a total winner for Cartoon Network. Kids and (most) parents loved it despite its bizarre humor. The episode "Dial M for Monkey: Barbequor" featured the popular Justice Friends. One villain, introduced as Silver Spoon, was introduced. He was a parody off of another superhero, but fans of the show weren't happy about how Silver Spoon was portrayed. The writers completely holed him into a gay stereotype and fans felt that it was unfair to the gay community. The show was ripped from all platforms.
