Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Mid-Life Crustacean" - SpongeBob SquarePants

In this episode, Mr. Krabs decides to run around and create mischief with SpongeBob and Patrick. The episode was pulled from Nickelodeon's rotation in 2018 after a routine standards review. In 2002, this episode was a bop. In 2018, not so much. Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and Patrick sneak into someone's home to play a prank since Mr. Krabs wants to feel a little "excitement" in his life. Turns out, he accidentally broke into his own mother's house. You can still find this episode online.
