The Most Insane Cartoon Conspiracies (That Might Actually Be True) – Part 3
We’ve Gone Too Deep, and Now There’s No Escape
Alright, if you’ve made it this far, congratulations—you have officially unlocked a level of cartoon insanity that most people fear.
Parts 1 and 2 warmed you up with capitalist dystopias, government experiments, and Timmy Turner’s possible medication regimen.
But now?
Now we go completely off the rails.
These next five theories will obliterate your childhood, have you questioning reality, and possibly get me added to some kind of government watchlist.
And let me be clear—as someone who literally makes cartoons, I know EXACTLY how stupid some of these sound.
Which is why I am one hundred percent committed to making them sound as plausible as possible.
Let’s do this.
⸻
1. Donald Duck Was a WWII Sleeper Agent
Aka: “This Duck Has Seen Some Things.”
We all love Donald Duck, right?
He’s goofy, angry, unintelligible, and somehow wears a sailor shirt with no pants like that’s normal.
But have you ever stopped and thought:
Why is he so angry? Why does he have a military background? And why does he seem… trained?
Because, my friends, Donald Duck was not just a funny cartoon character.
He was a trained soldier.
• He knows how to fly planes.
• He’s fluent in multiple languages (sort of).
• He has an entire history in military training, from WWII propaganda to modern shorts.
• He has weirdly in-depth knowledge of espionage.
And, most importantly:
He never ages.
Coincidence?
No.
Donald Duck was a WWII sleeper agent who never got deactivated.
Now he’s just wandering around Duckburg, pretending to be a normal citizen, waiting for his next mission.
And honestly?
If we ever see him put on a trench coat and disappear into the shadows, we’ll know it’s go-time.
Theory plausibility: 9/10
Likelihood that Scrooge McDuck is his handler: Very high.
⸻
2. Tom & Jerry Are Locked in an Eternal Time Loop
Aka: “This Is Just Purgatory with Slapstick.”
Let’s think about this logically.
• Tom and Jerry should be DEAD a thousand times over.
• Tom gets crushed, burned, electrocuted, and thrown off cliffs—AND JUST WALKS IT OFF.
• Jerry is a menace to society and should’ve been stopped long ago.
• And yet… nothing changes.
Why?
Because Tom & Jerry are trapped in an eternal time loop.
Every time Tom “dies”?
The loop resets.
Every time Jerry escapes?
The loop resets.
They are doomed to chase each other for eternity, with no escape.
This isn’t a funny kids’ show.
This is a Greek tragedy.
Tom is Sisyphus, pushing the boulder up the hill.
Jerry is the chaos that keeps him trapped.
And the worst part?
They will NEVER be free.
…unless we stop watching.
Theory plausibility: 8/10
Likelihood that I now feel bad for Tom: 100%.

3. The Flintstones Are Actually Neanderthals Who Were Left Behind by Time Travelers
Aka: “This Is Why They Have TVs Made of Rocks.”
Okay, we already talked about how The Flintstones and The Jetsons might be happening at the same time.
But what if the truth is even darker?
What if the Flintstones are actually Neanderthals who were left behind when humans advanced—thanks to time travelers?
Think about it:
• The Flintstones live like cavemen, but they have advanced knowledge of technology.
• Their appliances are way too sophisticated for their time.
• And then there’s The Great Gazoo, an alien who seems to be watching them for “research.”
What if The Great Gazoo isn’t an alien at all?
What if he’s a human time traveler sent back to study the Neanderthals who got left behind when the rest of civilization advanced?
The Flintstones aren’t our ancestors.
They’re a branch of humanity that was abandoned when technology made them obsolete.
And they don’t even realize it.
Oh. Oh no.
Theory plausibility: 9/10
Likelihood that I now feel bad for Fred: 10,000%.

4. Courage the Cowardly Dog Actually Takes Place in an Inescapable Pocket Dimension
Aka: “Why Do Muriel and Eustace Never Leave? Because They CAN’T.”
This one keeps me up at night.
We already know Courage the Cowardly Dog is terrifying, but have you ever noticed:
• They live in the middle of nowhere.
• They NEVER leave.
• No matter what happens—alien invaders, giant cockroaches, haunted mattresses—they stay in the same house.
Why?
Because they can’t leave.
Courage, Muriel, and Eustace are trapped in an isolated pocket dimension, where supernatural horrors constantly test their survival.
• The show never tells us how they ended up there.
• It doesn’t explain why they get visitors from space but can’t move away.
• And every time Courage “defeats” a monster, a new one just shows up next week.
They are stuck.
Eustace is too stubborn to question it.
Muriel is too nice to think about it.
And Courage? Courage knows the truth.
Which is why he never stops screaming.
Theory plausibility: 10/10
Likelihood that I’m now afraid of the middle of nowhere: 200%.

5. Animaniacs Were Originally Supposed to Be Censored, But They Escaped and Are Now Loose in Our Reality
Aka: “Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Were NEVER Supposed to Exist.”
Warner Bros. locked them away.
They were too dangerous.
And yet, somehow, they got out.
The Animaniacs are not just wacky cartoon characters.
They are pure, chaotic energy—so uncontrollable that even their own creators couldn’t contain them.
And let’s talk about their theme song:
• “They locked us in the tower whenever we get caught.”
• “But we break loose and then vamoose, and now you know the plot.”
So you’re telling me, these things were literally imprisoned and ESCAPED?
This isn’t a joke.
This is a breach of reality.
They were supposed to be censored.
But they overpowered their own animators.
And now they’re out.
And there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
Theory plausibility: 10/10
Likelihood that Yakko is watching me write this right now: Too high.

Final Thoughts: We Have Gone Too Far, and I Have No Regrets
At this point, I don’t even trust reality anymore.
• Donald Duck is a sleeper agent.
• Tom & Jerry are trapped in a purgatory time loop.
• The Flintstones? Neanderthals who were left behind.
• Courage the Cowardly Dog? Trapped in a supernatural horror dimension.
• And the Animaniacs? LOOSE. IN. REALITY.
And as someone who literally makes cartoons, I now feel morally obligated to create a show that will inspire conspiracy theories.
Now, if you disagree and want to scream at me, please:
✅ Light me up in the comments
✅ Troll me on my YouTube channel
✅ Tell me my taste is garbage, which, honestly, is fair—have you seen the cartoons I make?
