I like how only 2500 bucks would save an entire network.

fun fact: the executed on childrens network part is that every character died in order of who aired the latest or earliest and thats why inspector gadget was the last to die, his show aired last on qubo

Yeah, I know this is basically just the “hyperrealistic blood” creepypasta trope, but this just proves to me that it CAN work if there’s an aspect of believability to it. “Lost episode” stories on the Creepypasta Wiki usually just come off as cheesy, but there’s something about actually seeing one for yourself with no context or dramatic narration that’s legitimately unsettling. And yes, I take these way too seriously.

i love when someone fakes a story, and it's clearly fake, but people are still like "oh yeah, i was there too!"

i love that people are still making spooooooooky edgy hyper-realistic bloody-eyed fake creepypasta videos, honestly. its such a weirdly nostalgic thing. like i hope the next day some kid at school lied to his friends about seeing it happen live

Honestly though, the channel suddenly shifting to a black screen with a formal "The channel has ceased operation" message mid-showing is much more creepy than some cheesy creepypasta message

something I love about this is that on some of the characters the shotgun reloads but hesitates on fire as if the gunner just can’t bring himself to do this

Speaking of elaborate rickrolls, a man once recorded "Never Gonna Give You Up" on a VHS tape, and left it at Goodwill with a message marked, "A big surprise!" Somebody found it and showed the internet!

I think it’s very unfortunate that a free educational childrens station had to shut down because a corporation did not think it would be profitable

the sarcastic “thanks for nothing” at the end after all that gore really tied it all together

y'know what? this is actually really creepy. seeing those characters dying like that is actually horrifying. good job to the creator of this!

The RickRoll genuinely made me burst out laughing It will always have a special, nostalgic, place in my heart

Just take a moment to imagine if this actually happened. Qubo would be the center of international media attention.

I love how this creepy pasta was nothing more than "ooh blood gore" and "kids characters dying" Simple like the old days

My little sister and me and my family came across this and we watched it almost every day. One day, I turned the tv on to put something on for my little sister. I repeatedly typed the channel number in, but the channel seemed to be gone. I can’t believe this is what happened! I’M SO GODDAMN SHOCKED!

I remember Qubo. For a brief time back in 2006, we didn't have cable in our house, so we had to use this weird sort of box antenna thing until we got cable again. My Mom would watch the Ion Channel because it had most of the adult shows she liked such as Law and Order, Criminal Minds and Ghost Whisperer. I watched the Qubo Channel because since I didn't have Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel for the time being, I needed to find another channel with kids shows. Not all of the Qubo shows I liked, but I did enjoy some of them like Pecola, Babar and Rupert

"Due to the negligence and selflessness of our viewers..." A unique group of people who care for others above themselves in a reckless and irresponsible fashion.

Even after learning this was fake, there's something extremely creepy about the idea that keeps sending shivers down my spine.

This kind of thing feels really nostalgic to me. I remember getting small messages on Treehouse TV stating that you need to switch to cable or else the channel will be lost. It felt so weird when it actually happened, and we gradually lost more and more channels over a few years due to the switch. Before I had stopped regularly watching television, the only channels remaining were YTV and PBS Kids. This must be how some kids feels now with the move from cable to streaming.
