Numberblocks just introduced the concept of Nothing, and Zero - a horrific floating mouth with a ZERO where its eyes should be - destroyed all existence. It was only restored with ONE saying there should be One World. I'm not sure this kind of demiurgic cosmic horror is appropriate for 3 year olds. - ThreadSky

Considering practically every episode has to have a viable song about a mathematical concept that preschoolers can follow, I think Numberblocks might be one of the greatest achievements of humankind.

Numberblocks is one where I'm looking and always aware of how much hard work this actually is.

Numberblocks is the best part of having a kid. Apart from the love and stuff.

what does it know? what can it teach us?

We had large nosed mimes, sentient plasticine, public information films, deaths of favourite characters, constant threat of nuclear Armageddon and survived, mostly.

I don't think it's ever too early to confront the futility of existence. Especially if it's with a coda of hope 😄

Wait until you get to the final episode and realise it's all just one big never-ending loop. The lore of that show is *wild*

what the fUCK 🥲🤣

Looking forward to seeing how they redesign the rest of the MLF

Numberblocks, Alphablocks and ColourBlocks are the greatest kids tv ever. I love that ColourBlocks even has CMYK as characters.

I've always thought the Number blocks were Modrons from D&D

Every three year old needs cosmic horror

Read the entire paragraph waiting for the horrible pun at the end and then... nothing. Zero puns.

Yes, pretty terrifying, although there's also the existential horror of when a one combines with a two to make a three...what happens to those original numberblocks? Are they aware they have been subsumed into another being?

And what about when a four splits into two twos...what happens then??

As if the Numbertaker in Numberjacks wasn't FUCKING TERRIFYING enough? https://numberjacks.fandom.com/wiki/The_Numbertaker

Not the same scale, but the episode of Shaun the Sheep where the Dog ascends into space on a rogue drone, falls through a wormhole into a negative space and has a selfie with an astronaut who is actually is older self.
Trying to explain that to my 6 year old.

Was the 3 year old completely fine, then turned round to find you blubbering and shivering in a heap on the floor?
