AYAOTD - The Tale of the Dead Man's Float 1/3

[MafiaScarecrow]

Lol the chemistry teacher is Mr. Ratburn from Arthur. A lab rat.

[LukeDJS]

Jay Baruchel! i just imdb'd him and had to check it out. this show used to b the shit

[1446kevdog]

oh my god, 2:37. that kid is in Knocked Up, She's Out of My League, Tropic Thunder. Forgot his name, though!

[imus1426]

who tries to calculate the volume of their school? and why didn't the faculty of police drain the pool and inspect it like a crime scene since that kid died in there, i mean the pool would have to be re-filled due to hazard issues. wtf

[Fodigity726]

so much flannel

[BasilSherlockson]

Believe it or not, I literally just caught this on television. :D

[DespairBringer]

@BasilSherlockson LOL on TeenNick? , me too :D

[BasilSherlockson]

@DespairBringer Yus! I am not alone!

[MISSYOUMOSSIE]

My favorite show I forever sat around the fire alone. Still do

[moniiiiqua]

i remember always being scared of the opening sequence.

[Irishknightable]

Ever since I was a kid I have been terrified of deep water. For years I have been having these reoccuring dreams about extremely deep swimming pools and some invisible force is always trying to force me in.

[demonicDEBACLE]

OMFG !!! i'm 25, and this was the ONLY ep from the series, which scared the living shit outta me back in the 90's O__O

[imus1426]

@demonicDEBACLE same here, same age too. won't swim alone ever since this episode.

[domwallflower]

the intro always used to scare me as a kid. especially that creepy clown...

[97ricebowl]

"Like a puppy you wanna take care of. :)" To me, he looks like a little blonde Harry Potter..

[DCwyverx]

This explains my fear of public pools. Gosh, I love nostalgia. <3

[Blamepandora85]

Man this takes me back to Saturday nights as a kid watching this and clarissa explains it all.

[Trystan]

I'm pretty sure its Herbert from Family Guy in the water.

[PFieroGT87]

This episode I remember the most, because it scared the shit out of me the most. Fuckin' red skeletons.

[FrankenXANA]

This should've been Stig's story to get included. This was way better than the radio station episode.

FX

[CALgBOY91]

The little boy at the beginning is the guy from shes outta your league and the sorcesors apprentice haha

[Scorponok2009]

I wouldn't go in the pool after I saw this one.

[Enyoiyourself]

I remember this being the only episode that scared the shit out of me as a kid, followed by the Laughs in the Dark

[jesuslamb]

good times, kids were healthier, smarter, and wiser then

[Taybrian1]

If the pool has been closed that long, why did they keep the water in it?

[sarahOful]

@Taybrian1 They didn't. You saw when he first showed it to her, there was a tarp covering the bottom of it where there would have been water . You can see it at 8:39

[ACBDC6]

+1 for a young Jay Baruchel!

[MrTheMadzach]

Goddamn! Even as an adult that opening sequence is creepy as hell.

[MikeyGall89]

Ripping off friday13th a little in beginning but I love the episode :)

[apriloification]

Does anyone know what they throw on the fire? It always fascinated me.

[Alexilovescats]

@apriloification in the show they call it midnight dust, but in real life they used regular sugar

[TheCosplayBallet]

This episode scared the begeezus out of me. I remember when it was time for a bath that night I just stared at the drain waiting for the red slime to come dripping out of it...for years I would tease my friends when we went swimming that "the red skeleton thing" is going to get you!

[harmonicafly]

Its Robin Sparkles

[210m818]

@amarie12187 fags, lol



[thewhofan99]

this and the clown episode are the two scariest ones in my opinion. i had nightmares for weeks as a child after i saw these.

[MsMollyjane]

This episode scared the shit out of me when I was a kid...

[BillieJoesGirl06]

I first saw this when I was around 6 years old, it scared me to the point that I couldn't go into a pool by myself. Now that I'm twenty I still have fears about going into a pool.

[KitaDyer]

Greese!

[kayjayshay]

my six-year-old self couldn't go into a pool for at least 5 years after watching this episode. one of my most vivid childhood memories.

[SafireRayne]

Awwww I'm sad.... frank moved. He was the only cute guy of the midnight society.

[greenhazeleyez20]

wow if being smart makes you a loser than i must be the biggest loser lol

[neosoc]

Why does the episode's protagonist remind me of the "Oh my gooooood" guy from Trolls 2?

[beautifullychaos]

is that kaj again? You know the guy that plays Mr.Inky, in the episode The Great Incanto of so weird.???

[lycurgusandnuma]

Thanks so much for this. The coming out of the drain scene is literally one of my most vivid childhood memories.

[heatherlayne92]

@lycurgusandnuma mine too! god, i think this episode scared the crap out of everyone. haha.

[famedb]

wow! those lockers were light!

[windynichya]

Why does everyones family move when a character leaves? Why couldn't they just decide not to come anymore? You know like normal people do when they grow up!

Shame Frank left though, he was hot!

[VenomousX]

This is my favorite episode!

[Delightbunnie]

Is the lab teacher Mr Ratburn from Arthur?

[Voshk]

Hehe! Anybody else notice the date rape sign in this episode?

[loves2getdrunk22]

[2681910]

The actor whoo played the science teacher, played the part of Ichabod Crane on "The Tale of the Midnight Ride" (Tucker's first Story)

[hell5309]

I can't help but be reminded of "Friday the 13th" by the opening of this episode.

[StraightEdgeReviews]

Reminds me of the cleaner version from Friday the 13th when the kid drowns and kills all the teenagers rofl coincidence???

[StraightEdgeReviews]

This one was actually pretty creepy if you ask me....

[angelatomate324]

Jay Baruchel looks exactly the same!! loll arms and all.....

I love how Are You Afraid of the Dark was sooo scary when I was younger...now im like...what was I afraid of lol. I still love to reminisce tho

[chickenbiscito]

クソ



[Acoustic1234567]

This story scared the shit out of me when i saw it the first time!

[DJMB1310]

Has anyone seen the one where he is being possessed by something in the pool he has a snake staff with a crystal ball in it? Can't remember the name of the show but my friend wants it.

[funnybear15]

He is one strong son of a bitch to move that whole thing

[hell5309]

@funnybear15 Who ever said he was weak? The fact that he's an intellectual doesn't mean he's helpless.

[domirules28]

this story is way too much like friday the 13th...

[Legend28x]

She dresses like a mom.

[hell5309]

@Legend28x  Who, Clorice?

[ambersdarkfox]

[pandasweater]

[NickBFilms]

@NickBFilms or the guy who voices him (Arthur holden)

[Bourlando]

[ABrasile1]

[Bmarch08]

I couldnt swim in a swimming pools for weeks after this episode, gave me nightmares for years

[twinsru]

@Bmarch08 me too every once and a while i have "One of my dreams"

[dsc385]

Excuses are for people who never get things done. I love that.

[dsc385]

Clarise has gorgeous eyes.

[dsc385]

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS SAD THAT FRANK LEFT. #LOL ... IT WAS UPSETTING, HE ALWAYS TOLD THE BEST STORIES. DR VINK WAS AWESOME.

[StraightEdgeReviews]

@dsc385 How the fuck do you do that LOL thing with the square ???

[dsc385]

I LOVE THIS EPISODE!! THIS ONE ALONG WITH THE TALE OF THE MIDNIGHT MADNESS ARE TWO OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE EPISODES.

[arturocas90]

I really liked this episode :-D

[humbring65]

I guess they didn't have phones in the classrooms to call janitors back in the 90s

[hiwhoever]

Jay is actually on the show twice. In this episode and also in the tale of the zombie dice (I'm pretty sure it's the tale of the zombie dice but I could be off =D )

[jussym09]

@hiwhoever there's another episode in which he also appeared... i can`t recall now but it was about that play called macbeth

[mst3KGf]

@hiwhoever Actually, he was on it four times, if you can believe it. He did this, he did 2 episodes the 6th season ("Zombie Dice" and "Walking Shadow") and 1 episode the 7th season ("Time Trap," the final Sardo/Magic Mansion story).

[hell5309]

@mst3KGf Here's something good: in "Walking Shadow", the antagonist (a ghost) was played by the same actor who played the ghost in this episode (Marcel Jeannin).

[jonathanmcrisp]

Aww look at the young Joanna Garcia

[Thugmunk]

She's already seen the boy's locker room huh? What a slut!

LOL I love this damn show.

[ginam2690]

"Ooops this keeps falling so I'll just take it with me!" LOL

[vyclops]

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ghost3027]

Swan dive 3:51 (even though this is before it)

[LaDracul]

Ugh, Clairice is kind of a bitch...Zeke should've gone for the girl that thought he was cute.

[natalier555]

[gannon1op]

holy shit! its tha guy from shes outta ur league as a kid! haa

[sumoni]

"Is this about telling a good story or a popularity contest?"

Popularity contest. Because stig tells one of the best damn stories in the whole series and doesn't get in right away. Not cool. Not cool at all.

[twinsru]

@sumoni this is the scariest one till this day i can't watch the last part at night this is scarier then some of steven king stuff

[sumoni]

@twinsru I bet Steven King watches this on his days off.

[twinsru]

@sumoni hahaha yeah probably!

[FulllMetalJackett]

This this show was cool! I remember watching this show as a kid growing up in the 90s. It was a perfect break from all of the goofy cartoons and sitcoms that also ran on Nickelodeon at the time. It was just so edgy and dark. Not only that but it was butch compared a similar series called Goosebumps. And like kukendrarajaj, this episode really freaked me out back then. God bless "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

[jfahmy1]

lol trying to calculate the volume of the school? you know just your regular everyday after school activity.

[mc09toofine]

OMGG this episode gave me nightmares!!! the only thing i can think of that gave me nightmares besides gremlins!

[xjackinthebox]

dude the midnight society is a bunch of retards that dude told a wicked story that fucked up a lot of kids nightmares and they didn't want him in??

[ilegz16]

[travman365]

nope still cant watch it. not gonna happen. still the scariest rthing on the series im out.

[DrOctopus34]

holy crap the little kid in the beginning is Jay Baruchel!!!! :D

[landongendur]

@DrOctopus34 - OMG It is Jay Baruchel! Wow, I wonder if this is his first appearance ever?

[AriGriffin243]

@landongendur

According to IMDB it is his first.

[jussym09]

@DrOctopus34 yeah! I've seen him in some movies.. he also appeared in later episodes. it's like he grew up with AYAOTD lol

[DopeMC209]

Hey It's Harry Potter at the beginning

[skoolkomics]

get suumm!

[sad7emo]

Oh god this episode gave me nightmares for along time and made me scared of pools for a few years XD

[naminesoraluv]

one of the scariest episodes for sure! Still creeps me out and I'm sixteen lol. I don't know why they didn't like Tucker's friend he told by far some of the best stories in their group HANDS DOWN.

[TheBunnygirl1987]

omg dis was d scaryest ep so afraid of d water coz of dis. bt love it

[getyourown16]

Calculate the volume of a school? What a geek.

[xxxThisIsItxxx]

I am 14 and my brother reminded me of this show a few weeks ago and i was like holy chizz i gotta watch it! and the first one i watched that night...it scared me cause of the intro i said to myself "uhh maybe not..." lol

[langham220]

Who else made sure the lights were off when they watched this show



[jimjamjoe65]

4:13 it's Mr Ratburn from Arthur!

[andyrules78]

@jimjamjoe65 exactly what i thought!

[jamescsajaghy]

i still have dreams about a swimming pool in a dim room and i know that guys in there.............freaked me the fuck out when i was 8 years old and still does now :s

[cheliayala]

how old are most of yall?

just wondering

[mistadiscovery]

@cheliayala

21 i used to watch htis show when i was 7 up until 12 when it was hard ot find on tv

[tiggerlover41]

@cheliayala im 19 i am most deff a 90s kid!

[TheAtomic1234321]

This one kept me from swimming in the pool when I was 6 and shit.

[Fatzombie1980]

Thats wat happens when u fuck your girlfriend and then your little brother dies.

[BluMya]

I will always remeber this episode as the one and only Are You Afraid of the Dark episode that truly scared the beejees out of me. I will never ever forget this one. Seriously it messed me up when I was younger. *shivers*

[friskycurtain]

My all-time favorite episode.

[slus90]

I remember this one and the "Super Specs" one making me close my eyes.

Although this pool one seems derivative of pre-existing horror films I've yet to watch when I was a child.

[IceJones29]

this and the zeebo ones are the two that i distinctly remember scaring the shit out of me as a kid

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]

anyone notice that the kid who drowns is Jay Baruchel?

[modchic720]

@THEoriginalRIcHARDS I friggin KNEW that little kid looked familiar!!

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]

@modchic720 yeah, and hes been in at least 4 episodes.

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]

i remember when this episode premiered, right after was "The White Shadow" on nick-at-nite.

[VampireOutlaw]

Just saying, I would never swim in a pool that has been not only unused but also hidden, for decades. I wouldn't even go into the hall. I mean there has to be a good reason why it's been closed and hidden. I hate the fact that there always has to be some sort of ridiculous stupidity involved in these kind of horror stories. I do enjoy this one though, anyway.

[VampireOutlaw]

Ew, I remember this ep. Let's see if I remember it correctly. I liked this series when I was a kid. Haven't watched it since though.

[xfilesmanson]

The campfire intros are cheesy but the episodes are scary.

[ChibiGoth13]

This is my favourite episode. It's so sad, but so creepy! The skeleton scared the crap outa me, I loved it!

[monroe881]

i didnt know harry potter was part of the midnight society

[B20Summer]

I really miss AYAOTD. I wish we could bring back all the 1990's shows, they rocked.

[cahlindinhaloira]

The fat one is the more thash..but this tale is the creepier

[dansgurl101]

lol the teacher is the same guy who does the voice for Mr Ratburn on Arthur. :P

[CazLovesTokioHotel]

@dansgurl101 Yep and the girl at 0:55 does the voice of Francine on Arthur..

[dfjgv]

@CazLovesTokioHotel  OMG thats why she sounds so familiar !

[mollydolly926]

2:35

awe it's that actor in she's out of my league

[BJORT]

P.S. Jason Alisharan who played "Frank" recently produced "A Single Man" a very good film.

[BJORT]

I was Totally afraid to go into a swimming pool after this episode.

[gooddaysunshine16]

aww the guy from "shes out of your league" is the little kid that drowns in this haha hes soo cute

[mynameiszacci]

Wow, Tucker really grew up!

[runedude0134]

and what are they throwing in the fire? cocaine?

[xxSanadaxx]

@runedude0134

Potassium Nitrate.

[mnnuguid]

Actor Jay Baruchel is in this episode...

[marandd]

Zeke should have a gang bang with those 2 bitches

[valoguy]

@marandd Not gonna lie , Clarese is pretty good lookin. Like to see her now; she's like 30.

[toofattocare77]

rofl

[aesniper]

no no no. I can't watch this episode. This scared me so badly I couldn't swim in the pool alone for years
