Has anyone ever told you, "Don't believe everything you see on the internet"? Well, this is the case for a very infamous hoax video made by Splatkid802, who frightened many viewers by showing what might have happened to the famous children's television network Qubo when it closed off. Although what he showed in his video didn't actually happen, he strongly wants everyone to believe that it all actually happened. This video will expose all of Splatkid's lies and tell the truth about Qubo's fate.

We have to keep young viewers safe from becoming traumatized from such horrific hoaxes. If we work together, we'll be able to report Splatkid for his malicious acts and ban him for good.

If you want to see the original video, follow the link below. Be warned, it has a fair amount of blood and gore in it, so please do not watch if you're quite squeamish:

    As someone who grew up in the classic era of lost episode creepypastas, this had all the tropes of a typical amateur lost media horror story: the horrendous spelling, the 'spooky' music, the aggressive way it chastises the viewer for failing to do anything, and of course the 'hyperrealistic' blood and gore. If anything I'm amazed that these are still fooling kids.

    Finally someone who notices that the music on the video was Majora's Mask's Final Hours theme.
  • It wasn't just comments that SplatKid deleted, he likely took down other videos that debunked his horror show. Also, the TV in the video is a CRT, which means he had to have put the video on a DVD and used a built-in or separate DVD player to play the video.
  • Qubo was my childhood! I loved qubo and I used to watch it when I was in preschool to 4th grade! To all of us who didn’t have cable! 😭😭😭
  • @LTeleVision8
    Ironic that inspector gadget was the last to get shot, when his show was the last to air on qubo

    Imagine if someone sued E.W Scripts, just because they thought this is real.

    If anyone wants to call the number and get Rick rolled, go for it. The number plays a low quality version of “Never gonna give you up” 💀😂

    I just recently watched the video mentioned, and I was scared initially, but now I realize that this fear was nothing after watching this video. I am 16 years old, and I even fell for such a hoax. I have watched some shows on the Qubo channel before it shut down and I am still sad the channel had to go.
  • @Stonex180
    An actually respectable Vyond user, that’s rare! Anyways, nice job on this.

    Note the fact The legend of Zelda majora‘s mask Final bill theme was a bit of a creepy vibe music on the Nintendo GameCube era Also part of the Creepypasta urban legends And Internet millennials Is quite shocking and disturbing and terrifying for the young viewers to watch their favorite cartoon characters from Qubo channel getting murdered by the firing squad but their drawings were poor quality and every viewers claim that is fake I hope Splatkid’s videos will get change restricted due to a graphic imagery

    I'm glad someone brought this up. I could tell it was fake from the beginning. And I'm pretty sure he deleted my comment for pointing it out. I'm a big creepypasta/lost episode fan, and I watched this one, and KNEW it was fake. Again, I'm glad you brought this up.

    This ruined my childhood of VeggieTales and Inspector Gadget.
  • @JohnthePhantom
    Not only that, I was hearing him laughing softly in the background where he was recording the tv. This isn't real. Period.
  • Because if they really showed this fake shut down on TV, there would’ve been a serious lawsuit. It’s a good thing Qubo didn’t end this way. on February 26th 2021 on the FiOS broadcast, the channel abruptly signed off in the middle of Franklin, and then GRIT took its place. And on most remaining broadcasts on February 28, 2021 Qubo abruptly signed off in the middle of reruns of Inspector Gadget.

    Btw, there's another thing about SplatKid's Vid that i have noticed that others did not. We dont know exactly if the shutdown actually plays and recorded from a tv due to the room being so dark. The only thing we see in the vid is the screen/shutdown itself. We dont know exactly where the shutdown exactly played and recorded from, it could be actually a tv but it could be a computer too

    This totally makes sense also I've seen other users copying the fake video and also stealing content including mine although my content isn't suitible for kids and they didn't even have permission or put credit. Splatkid802 is making a whole army of people who want to traumatized young ones and make them confused.
