Remember Caillou? Well, he’s deceased.
Yes that incredibly annoying kid Caillou, has finally carked it. Well he hasn’t carked it per se, it’s more like the show itself has been axed. But it’s a small win for parents and young adults alike, who have been tortured by this small little turd for the last 23 fucking years.
On Thursday, PBS announced that the Canadian kids show would be no more and parents are exceedingly happy about it.

Rejoice! Can we ditch Cyberchase and Wordgirl next? And where is Mr Roger’s Neighborhood and Reading Rainbow?!

If you aren’t familiar with the show, in every episode Caillou throws a tantrum, and is just straight-up a raging hot-mess. The kid has no manners.
Heh, about time! I think we all know how Classic Caillou would react… pic.twitter.com/9Hl91YYoL9

Honestly, I didn’t know that many people hated Caillou either. I think it’s just been a rough day.

Not only was Caillou cancelled, but there was a Trump incited insurrection at the US Capitol, Kanye West apparently hooked up with Jeffree Star and Olivia Wilde & Harry Styles are dating??? 2021, I really thought you’d be better.

Oh no, this person did not just say Caillou looks like Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan.

Thank god, Caillou is a cartoon and not an actual person. The internet is bloody ruthless. But I have to admit, as someone who grew up on the lil’ baldy, I don’t think the lessons in the show were very helpful. All it says is that parents become door mats if you kick and scream enough.
Now to officially say goodbye to Caillou, please enjoy this 2016 remix of the theme song.
