GoNoodle (2015-present)

GoNoodle is an educational website founded by HealthTeacher. The site launched on January 3, 2012 as a music-gaming website. The website also focuses on exercising games (from 2012) and dancing videos (from 2013) in order to help kids focus in the classroom. It also features fitness activities such as yoga and Zumba. But despite all of this, GoNoodle went downhill when MooseTube joined the lineup plus various attempts to appeal to the youths poorly.

Why It's Stupider Now

 * 1) While it was still decent in 2014, the channel banners took an element out of YouTube, presumably because the banner looked like the old default YouTube banner. However, this was changed for unknown reasons.
 * 2) *And even though it has a lot of channels, they are almost all bad and heavily annoying with the worst being MooseTube (a parody of YouTube) and the former channel NooNewNoodleGoo (a "remastered" version of Koo Koo Kanga Roo).
 * 3) Extremely easy objective. On the school version of GoNoodle, you pick a "champ" that goes up a higher level. This is suspiciously similar to "ClassDojo". In fact, ClassDojo even sponsored GoNoodle for The BETT2017 show and Dojochat as well. All you need to do in order to level up is to do 10 GoNoodle videos, but you simply can just watch 1 GoNoodle video for about 30 seconds and still get a point, so apparently you can just level up in 5 minutes.
 * 4) A lot of their GoNoodle videos are very poorly made for 2015 standards, most likely just because the people who made them thought that poor quality editing would be something that’ll be appealing to children, which sounds ridiculous enough.
 * 5) *Speaking about poor quality, the 3D animations and designs in the old songs by Awesome Sauce are also "low budget" and pretty uncanny.
 * 6) The very few good channels are outnumbered by the bad ones.
 * 7) When it uses licensed songs, it remixes them very poorly, possibly in a way to avoid copyright.
 * 8) The company tried way too hard to appeal to today's kids. For example, one video on YouTube shows GoNoodle characters dabbing. The latter of which has died out in the later years.
 * 9) *Also, the paid advertisement videos rip off the Just Dance YouTube videos too.
 * 10) They put way too much attention on Kidz Bop.
 * 11) *GoNoodle made a post that they nowadays praise Tonies and LeVar Burton for the Tonies for Teachers Classroom Starter Kit.
 * 12) Nickelodeon teamed up with GoNoodle, leading up to some really bad things:
 * 13) They made a series of bumpers during commercial breaks of shows. They even made GoNoodle videos out of Spongebob SquarePants and Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
 * 14) The worst is The Loud House one. A lot of The Loud House fans were upset when they actually saw Lola dab, and this was a lousy attempt to stay relevant to kids. They were even used as idents for Nicktoons in the UK!
 * 15) They brought back The Loud House GoNoodle in November 2020 which was 3 years after the dab’s prime. Other websites like mh:freshwebsites:BrainPop!, Vizzle and Prodigy did it as well, but it was made during 2017.
 * 16) They also made the modern Nickcoms and these bad movies look worse as they made a reskin of the same overused challenge they keep milking with The Henry Danger GoNoodle video.
 * 17) The "Repeat the Beat" GoNoodle (from Young Dylan) loops the beats over and over again (probably what the title says). It can be comparable to old Newgrounds Flash game music and movies from the late 90s and songs by DJ Foot's beat such as "SESE" by 6ix9ine.
 * 18) They made the generic food eating game Patrick Star’s Breakfast Bash.
 * 19) Despite being "for kids", they often reference stuff that is more inappropriate for said audience.
 * 20) Also with Newgrounds, GoNoodle also rips off the collections layout of the site.
 * 21) Their video "The Addams Family 2 Road Trip Obstacle Course" has way too many similarities to Police Bike (a game in 2000 by Tom Fulp as a part of a series called "Y2K Police Simulator", and yet, it's not for kids) and also the Hit the Road minigame from My Talking Tom, a game that is for kids.
 * 22) Some channels look like they were straight out of an Adult Swim show such as Awesome Sauce.
 * 23) Their Awesome Upstander one (also from HealthTeacher), has a bully that looks like Pico, Which is also by Tom Fulp, and one of the mascots of Newgrounds. The video is also trying to reference his first game which is presumably based on a real-life school shooting.
 * 24) *It also seems like he’s a mean popular boy too.
 * 25) Similar to #9, there are a lot of bad characters. In fact, some of them have such racist depictions that it makes the characters from shows such as mh:terribletvshows:Tomorrow's Pioneers and The Censored Eleven from Looney Tunes look modern in comparison. Here are some examples of bad characters:
 * 26) Maximo looks like a Bonzi Buddy reject and he is also a blackface minstrel character. He even wears clothes that are similar to one with an Italian accent. This is an example of a racially depicted character.
 * 27) Fabio is pretty much the brother of Maximo, and his costume looks like a bootleg version of Bullwinkle J. Moose from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. His costume was also taken from an unknown company. He has a weird obsession with meatballs and was also a thief for trying to steal Moose the Globetrotter's role in Show Us What You Got (Just a reminder that the original video was deleted off on their site, but there’s copies of the video online). He even sounds like a terrible Mario voice impression or an annoying Italian accent that will give Norman Price from Season 6-present of Fireman Sam's annoying voice a run for his money.
 * 28) Flex, a character from the channel Awesome Sauce!, looks like he came from a SpongeBob SquarePants parody video of Squidward Tentacles with the colors looking like the main character from the show.
 * 29) Bob is a generic character that looks like he came from an internet meme.
 * 30) The two songs "Disco Brain" and "Take A Breathe" make mh:terribletvshows:Secret Mountain Fort Awesome look like Just Dance.
 * 31) The 3D models for "When Pigs Fly", "Cookie Boogie" and "Maraca Turkey" look like they were created in the 1990s rather than the 2010s since they look like stock 3D gifs you would find in the old days of the internet.
 * 32) *"When Pigs Fly" is the creepiest one. The pig looks like it saw its whole family die right in front of its poor, soulless, eyes!
 * 33) They are lots of bad songs:
 * 34) They made way too many "high five" songs from 2014-2016 due to Kitty High Five being popular such as "Doggy High Five", "Baby High Five", and "Teacher High Five".
 * 35) "Run like the Kitty" is more annoying than the rest of the other songs because it’s just "Run like the kitty kitty" repeated and also by the fact that it's misleading because there is no cat in the video but instead a squirrel.
 * 36) MooseTube made an awful song for Thanksgiving 2021 called "Gobble Gobble Burp". The song itself is a reskin of Little Green Froggy. The title is also somewhat stupid at the same time.
 * 37) *MooseTube can sometimes reskin their own songs, but the difference is that they change the lyrics. This shows how unoriginal they are.
 * 38) *There is even a Christmas one too, which is Fabio’s Holiday Moose Caboose. Here are the problems with it:
 * 39) *#They even made his voice a bit low.
 * 40) *#The most ridiculous thing in the video is where Fabio went to get seafood pasta in Italy, but he is running down the street all by himself which could lead to him getting hit by a vehicle.
 * 41) All the challenges nowadays are just the same reskins of Hot Ticket's Run The Red Carpet. It's like how the creators had reused the same scripts for these videos such as the animation for the stock images, and also by using the same graphics they use in their video editing program, so it means that they want to overuse the entire formulas for it.
 * 42) There is a very sloppy background footage error that never was fixed. It's on MooseTube's "Yes! I Want to Build a Snowman" which plays the snow footage in reverse. By fixing this, you can just edit the video using video editing software like Adobe Premiere to reverse the entire snowy background. This is actually kinda familiar to how in mh:awfulmovies:Gummibär: The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa there’s a scene showing Vampiro flying up playing in reverse.
 * 43) They made a Space Jam one called "Space Jam: A New Legacy Dance Off", which has outdated moving pictures that look like old GIF pictures you will see in the old days of the internet or a Flash animation on mh:freshwebsites:YTMND. And, the footage also looks like something you would see in a Looney Tunes YouTube Poop. It's playing in a way where it starts normal and plays again in reverse. Also for the music, It sounds like a rip-off to the mh:awesomegames:Friday Night Funkin' song from Week 2, which is called South.
 * 44) They keep milking a film franchise by paid advertising the companies who made it, but they butcher it.
 * 45) *An example is the Sonic remix for mh:greatestmovies:Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), which can get on your nerves because the remix is so annoying. It features Sonic's voice playing from the movie. It’s familiar to The HeadOn Commercial, and a terrible Sparta Remix.
 * 46) Emoción is like a channel that never existed, since they have only two songs called "Freeze" and "We Are One" in both English and Spanish, with the only Spanish one being "We Are One". This is also on this page mentioned earlier.
 * 47) False advertising: As one of the other pictures below, there is one called "If You Love Slime", If you click on the button. It will take you to "Think like a Scientist" by Blazer Fresh, and you would think it would be a "how to make slime" tutorial, but they didn't actually talk about slime anyway.
 * 48) *"Hola, Bonjour, Hello!" is also a reskin of Pop See Ko but in 2D instead of live-action.
 * 49) They made a post that shows that they act like a Karen.
 * 50) Their laughable album title for New Years Eve called "New Year Noo Adventures".
 * 51) They also did the same thing with The First Day of Spring then gave a reason to do a Spring Dance.
 * 52) They also did paid advertising with Disney again after 1 year when the Frozen 2 was made, and 4 years after the Finding Dory GoNoodle was made. They made something to celebrate Mickey Mouse's birthday, and also made Walt Disney probably roll out of his grave because they made an entire birthday journal about him!
 * 53) They made an annoying joke right in the description.
 * 54) *They made another one for Pride Month 2020.
 * 55) They made another joke that is really inappropriate for a kids website.
 * 56) They also said that Leapfrog made a new page for this week, even though it was old since it was printed 10+ years ago. Even Tad has his older design from 2001-2008.

Why Both the 2017 and the 2021 Design Sucks

 * 1) The 2017 concept focuses more on mh:crappygames:Nostalgia pandering since the backgrounds and the buttons on the Family GoNoodle site look outdated for 2017 standards. Instead, The backgrounds look like they were created in the 80s and the 90s. The buttons on the family GoNoodle look like they were made in the 2000s too. What a way to poorly pander to nostalgia.
 * 2) *The 2021 concept for the back-to-school season looks more like a generic mh:freshwebsites:Netflix clone since GoNoodle used a similar-like design to other streaming service websites like mh:freshwebsites:Disney+, mh:freshwebsites:HBO Max, Paramount+ and a lot more.
 * 3) GoNoodle Mixes is nothing but the most clickbait worthy content ever made for a website outside Roblox and YouTube. Rather than creating a playlist, Like on YouTube. But, there is no playlist that is shown at all. Instead, you need to finish watching the entire video. It repeats all of the time that it will give you your last nerve after watching it.
 * 4) The buttons in the 2021 web design have some unfitting activities, skills, and knowledge:
 * 5) "Take a Breath" by Awesome Sauce is shown in the Breathe category, Which is not even focusing on calming, and It's really unfitting due to being in a category known as "Breathe".
 * 6) "Count to 100" and "Skip Count to 100" by The Champiverse are in the Workout category.
 * 7) *The same applies with "Take a Breath", even though it doesn't even focus on exercising at all.
 * 8) They added a grade for Pre-K, which includes the mh:terribletvshows:Danger Force GoNoodle in it, despite that the show is rated TV-Y7, meaning it's possibly unsuitable for preschoolers.
 * 9) *They also did it with Kindergarten, despite that it isn't suitable for them either.
 * 10) Not only did they do one for mh:terribletvshows:Danger Force, they also did one about the Disney Junior shows, which are "Mickey Mouse Funhouse", and "Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends". They don't even focus about fitness like their other videos, but it's like Disney Junior was adding their songs on this website. They look like their were ripped straight out of a TV using a DVR recording. And even more worse, it's that this is for kids under Pre-k to 5th grade. Which is again, not true, since Disney Junior is aimed at children for 2-7 year-olds, and not for 2-10 year-olds. Plus, kids over 8-10 years old are getting way too old to watch those shows.
 * 11) "The Pirate Life" by Moose Tube is in the Halloween category, all because they have pirate costumes. It does not make it fitting enough to be in the Halloween category.
 * 12) Some of Flow's videos are in the Wake Up category. They also do not even focus on waking up.
 * 13) "Hip Hop Astronaut" by Awesome Sauce is on the Reading Practice category for some reason.
 * 14) "Celebrate The Little Things" by Flow (yet again!) is in the Bedtime category, which is not even for bedtime.
 * 15) "Wear a Mask!" and "Wash Your Hands With Moose Fabio" by The Champiverse and Moose Tube (again!), are in the Class Routines category.
 * 16) "Nerdy By Nature" by Blazer Fresh is in the Math category, which seriously does not even focus on math.
 * 17) In "Gross Motor Skills", while some songs are gross like Awesome Sauce's songs, not all of them are actually gross.
 * 18) Body Awareness has "I Love U" by Awesome Sauce, and it's just like the rest of them.
 * 19) "All That Dance Along" is on the Balance category for no reason.
 * 20) There is a category called "Friends Forever". They think the Ghost and Molly McGee and Disney Channel are powered by GoNoodle when they're fictional charcters and they can't even be powered.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The art style on some characters and the backgrounds look decent.
 * 2) Flow, The Champiverse, Koo Koo Kangaroo, Hot Ticket, Go With A Pro, Think About it, Empower Tools, YouTube, Net Generation, Zumba Kids and Fresh Start Fitness, Maximo, and The Best Tees are decent channels and somewhat enjoyable.
 * 3) *Speaking about Koo Koo Kangaroo, the songs like Ninja Training, Awesome Rainbows, etc. look good.
 * 4) **Blazer Fresh also became better in 2021.
 * 5) You can add a song from channels on YouTube, as long as they get approved or even watch videos that were on YouTube.
 * 6) The Website used to be good back in 2013 and had little to no awful or questionable content on the site.
 * 7) The animations for the movie characters are great.
 * 8) *The "Take Care with Peanuts" shorts are an example of this.
 * 9) Scratch Garden is also decent.
