7:25 - 7:37 Thanks, Obama... you're a great coach, but a mediocre president XP
Ummm...On exactly what charges did they get arrested? Like if you call the cops like Ummm yeaa these two giant rats in trench coats are tellin people this guy has AIDS then you're probably gonna get arrested for drug charges...jus sayin
So let me get this strait. Captain Planet is spose to be called on when there is global warming, floods, nuclear meltdown, Oil spills in the ocean, and making sure a kid can make it to a high school basketball game........ got it
@MGBandit75 Remember, back then, there was a sudden outbreak of HIV. There was mass paranoia and people were trying to get rid of anyone that had HIV because they thought that they had AIDS.
They didn't know that neither AIDS nor HIV are contagious.
The coach should have said "if you don't treat Todd right, I'm gonna rape all of you and you'll become gay blue people!!! Yes, I also raped the captain..."
"people would be getting HIV all the time" Well? Aren't people getting HIV infected all the time then? Aprox 55,000 people in the US alone get infected on yearly bases. You know I'm right.....
10 Years ago people coulden't even Travel into the US if they were HIV positive, because of the great risk of infecting others.
Well it's better not to hang around with or use the same items as people with aids/hiv do. They only need to lose a drop of blood, by a scratch or mabey a splinter. And you too could get it! Or mabey he forget to wash his/her hands after the bathroom, one wrong handshake could mean your doom.
So there I am, minding my own business when a rat in a trench coat incites me to destroy a produce stand. Then I start throwing shit at some kid and his mother and some Soviet chick runs up and shoots wind out of her finger at me. Then this other kid shows up in some sort of jet which almost gets hit by a truck before another kid shoots it with fire. Then the cops showed up and I bailed. I don't know why I did it. That rat in a trench coat was persuasive.
wtf is with the asian guy, is he saying that people think they are gay? dude when one of your first lines is "next week we'll do it" i think you are gay.
the moral of story: no matter how hard a worker you are, how nice a person you are, or how you manage to teach a whole town a lesson about tolerance... you can still get HIV which will develop into AIDS and you will have a shorter lifespan... but you still get that basketball scholarship and the girl who you probably wont have sex with since you still have HIV / AIDS.
So he can still play basketball, He's got his friends back, and he's back together with his girlfriend.........but he still has HIV and is going to die?
I wish the announcer would have used a play on words during the game like.".Boy Todd was a real AIDE to his team. Or "Todd AIDS in another assist". Or then he just branches off into commentary that dosent make any sense like ."Boy for a jock its quite remarkable he gets straight AIDS on his report card"....Just really blatant and being a straight dick about it.That would have been a nice touch to the episode.
This episode has an important lesson to teach us all. AIDS and H.I.V. are not spread by casual touching, but people are in a state of shock that they act before they think.
@mdizzle18700 But the major important thing to know is you cant contract hiv from kissing and salivia the main way it spreads is through cemen and other bodily fliuds like blood that dont generally expose themselves outside of the body too often you cant contract it from salivia. The more you know!
You're right kid! Thanks for helping me get the story straigh it's a shame people can be so ignorant. That's why I like Captain Planet, he is very educational.
That jerk Skumm and his pal have several counts against them when it comes to law: 1st breaking in the doctor's office and look up private medical info then releaseing it publicly, 2nd five counts of attempted murder, 3rd forming a group to vandalize property, and 4th holding a person at his/her will.
those ring powers are just as cool as when i was little. what i'd give to have a ring that emits wind when i point it at people, instead of just from my butt
Love how they stress that "You aren't gonna catch the aids, don't panic!" but then at the end Tod and his girlfriend do this awkward little hug instead of kissing when they reconcile (not even on the cheek? really?).
@terminator9990 LOL! You know the underlaying problem with this show is they keep trying to press this whole notion that "THE POWER IS YOURS" and yet THEY KEEP GIVING IT UP. Oh sure, everyone person "COULD" do something to save mankind, but that's too hard so let's a SUPERHERO it do it for us. And this time even the Captain himself gives up the power and gym cause do AIDS education for him. Why couldn't they just him to stop the angry mob, if he's THAT persuasive.
I don't know why people keep posting the question, "What was the storyline of this video?" Venomous Skumm represents ignorance, hate, and fear. People with HIV have had to face all of those horrendous concepts from uneducated and uninformed people. Skumm wanted to perpetuate hate because he feeds on it. It was a way to inform kids that people with HIV are normal people and are not to be feared or treated poorly.
what was the storyline of this episode I mean whats the reason how can spreading lies about one kid help them? can someone explain why they did this and really no one is concerned about two rats in a lcoset saying someone has aids and there worryed about todd lol and then if aids could be spread through casual touching wouldnt one of them or his gf already have it AND didnt todd get elbowed isent that a foul this episode has so many flaws but it was still a good episode
They got arrested, because if the person with HIV wants the information to be private, and people spread the information to everyone, it can be considered a crime. Also, it's a crime for looking through someone's private records unless they get permission.
Slander, attempting to incite a riot, and 5 counts of attempted murder are also good reason for those two to be locked up.
Still, they summoned Captain Planet so that the kid could get to his basketball game in time? That's not considered a misuse of their powers or something?
@blubberrry I doubt they could give evidence of the rat dude looking at his records. Also, it's NOT a crime to talk about someone's illness. Even if it WERE somehow inflammatory, truth is a legitimate defense to defamation.
HIV/AIDS isn't usually good kids' show fare, but back then it was probably good that they did cover it. There was still a lot of ignorance about the virus back then.
I'm guessing everyone in the town, (except for the Doctor, who told Todd he was HIV positive in the first place) never had a Sex Education lesson in their lives. I love how everyone, EVEN the adults are convinced that AIDS are caught through casual contact. XD
@Kaagh178 actually, there are still many people who are ignorant about HIV/AIDS. Back when this show first aired, it was not uncommon to find adults who had never been educated about it. Remember, HIV/AIDS had only been discovered about 10 years before this aired, so no one knew about it when the adults of the 90's had sex ed.
Where was the offensive foul call when Andrews got elbowed by the other team? I also saw at least two instances of traveling on their final push up court. This game was very poorly officiated, especially for a championship game.
I read somewhere that's because even while in the rings, he's linked to the teens' minds.
What I find funny is the reason they call him this time. Oh no, Todd has no car and there's no bus stops near the fishing camp! He'll never get to the game in time. This is a job for Captain Planet! lol
hehe mebe..i thought something like that...and hahahhahahahah lo00ol yeh so true..one of the teens hey guys am hungry and i got no money..i want some food..The black foo let Our Powers Combined...Captain planet lo00ol
of course he would know what to do, captain planet is the combined power of the planeteers, since the planteers know what to do, captain planet automaticlaly knows what to do, remember knowledge is power
This aired back in 1991, before a lot of people knew that HIV didn't spread as easily as a cold. There was a case of a real life boy who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion a few years before this and the fear and ignorance he encountered was very much the same.
lo at 8:00 and further the coach and capitain plaet are giving a "speech". And it's so lame the wa their voices raise at then end of each sentence. ahhaha trying to be all martin luthar king ish hahaha
Wow, I had no idea you could take over the world just by spreading AIDS.
6:31 I would not be like the kid, who seems glad to have some strange blue man in gay underwear flying him around; I'd scream, beat him over the head, and run away.
C'mon guys - a completely unrealistic storyline, but when you're tackling such a taboo issue considering the audience, you have to give them some latitude.
Besides, even mentioning HIV in a 90s kids show, let alone basing an entire episode on the issue, is amazing. I loved this show as a kid but don't remember this episode. Glad they made it though.
"So that's why he broke up with me"- deduced that a little fast, no? And god that laugh of theirs is the most annoying thing on earth- probably because I know someone who actually laughs like that.
And come on, a fedora and trench coat? Wouldn't that stand out a bit much in a school? a tall rat man is hiding in a closet in a trench coat and hat, and nobody is the least bit concerned?
and the mom "stooooop. Stop it." Soft and annoying voice will always stop a riot immediately. Always.
Is all you need as disguise a trench coat and a fedora hat?? Also, that crowd is weird. I mean you trash produce sale and make a kids life hell then a blue guy goes "AIDS is not spread by casual contact." and everyones like YAY!!!!!! LET HIM PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I have to give it tremendous credit for focusing on an issue that most kids' shows wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
During the 90s, ANY sources of AIDS education were difficult to come by as a kid, and though this episode may feature a ridiculous plot and even more ridiculous dialogue I applaud it for the general message it sends.
This episode served to educate many children about the basic facts of AIDS, and in that sense it was not lame at all.
Even though the plot was difficult, I think this episodes teaches others about AIDS and how people could misinterpret a disease. This 1990's episode was pretty good for it's time.
However, I think some people would gossip, or lie, about someone with a disease (like AIDS). To me, this episode teaches two lessions;
1. about AIDS
2. about people gossiping and lieing about a disease or medical condishion.
"What does it take to get rid of these planet twits?"

@TakashiiBraxton I think murder attempts happen all the time from the villains, in children's cartoons. Except that no one dies in the end.

I read somewhere that's because even while in the rings, he's linked to the teens' minds.
What I find funny is the reason they call him this time. Oh no, Todd has no car and there's no bus stops near the fishing camp! He'll never get to the game in time. This is a job for Captain Planet! lol

The message of this episode seems illogical - I'm sure most people are aware that HIV doesn't spread as easily as a cold.
It would be better if they focused on racism or something.
YodatheJedi12 2 years ago
But at the time this episode aired it wasn't thought of that way.
sclock2 2 years ago
Maybe today it would seem illogical, but HIV was discovered around the early 1980s, so it probably made more sense back then.

This aired back in 1991, before a lot of people knew that HIV didn't spread as easily as a cold. There was a case of a real life boy who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion a few years before this and the fear and ignorance he encountered was very much the same.

@ 8:19: The coach tells Todd to "SUIT UP!"
And now Neil Patrick Harris's best-known role is Barney on How I Met Your Mother.
I like to think that Barney's catchphrase was inspired by this episode.

Wow, I had no idea you could take over the world just by spreading AIDS.
6:31 I would not be like the kid, who seems glad to have some strange blue man in gay underwear flying him around; I'd scream, beat him over the head, and run away.
whitewolfalicara 2 years ago
C'mon guys - a completely unrealistic storyline, but when you're tackling such a taboo issue considering the audience, you have to give them some latitude.
Besides, even mentioning HIV in a 90s kids show, let alone basing an entire episode on the issue, is amazing. I loved this show as a kid but don't remember this episode. Glad they made it though.

But a kid show? This kids are just learning how to say blue, but yet their talking about a unprotected sex and drugs using needles. lol?

I don't understand why they got arrested. What exactly did they do that would warrant an arrest? Except slander.

"So that's why he broke up with me"- deduced that a little fast, no? And god that laugh of theirs is the most annoying thing on earth- probably because I know someone who actually laughs like that.
And come on, a fedora and trench coat? Wouldn't that stand out a bit much in a school? a tall rat man is hiding in a closet in a trench coat and hat, and nobody is the least bit concerned?
and the mom "stooooop. Stop it." Soft and annoying voice will always stop a riot immediately. Always.
chrisz71 2 years ago
Is all you need as disguise a trench coat and a fedora hat?? Also, that crowd is weird. I mean you trash produce sale and make a kids life hell then a blue guy goes "AIDS is not spread by casual contact." and everyones like YAY!!!!!! LET HIM PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was this episode lame? Of course.
But I have to give it tremendous credit for focusing on an issue that most kids' shows wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
During the 90s, ANY sources of AIDS education were difficult to come by as a kid, and though this episode may feature a ridiculous plot and even more ridiculous dialogue I applaud it for the general message it sends.
This episode served to educate many children about the basic facts of AIDS, and in that sense it was not lame at all.
Masterdramon3 2 years ago 7
I agree.
Even though the plot was difficult, I think this episodes teaches others about AIDS and how people could misinterpret a disease. This 1990's episode was pretty good for it's time.
However, I think some people would gossip, or lie, about someone with a disease (like AIDS). To me, this episode teaches two lessions;
1. about AIDS
2. about people gossiping and lieing about a disease or medical condishion.
