Description[]

Barney & Friends was a stupid show about an evil purple dinosaur named Barney the Dinosaur (Barney) and these little kids that are Barney's friends who worship Barney like he's God. In the show, each episode begins with the kids playing with this stuffed Barney toy. And these crazy kids are like constantly singing annoying songs all the time and then Barney comes to life as this big purple maniac who eats little kids and romantically falls in love with them by kissing the kids on the lips after singing his obnoxious I Love You (song). In each episode, Barney and the kids learn about different things that they would already know by now (such as the Alphabet, numbers, going to school, manners, and don't talk to strangers). After Barney teaches the kids about what they learn that day, Barney sings his annoying I Love You (song) to the kids, stating that he loves the kids and likes to kiss the kids on the lips after singing that annoying song. Then the episode ends with the Barney Says segment where Barney explains what he and the kids did that day. And then Barney concludes each episode saying "And remember, I love you", winks and waves goodbye, and the end credits roll.

History[]

Secret origin of Barney & Friends (early 1980's-1988)[]

In 1984, a stupid old woman named Sheryl Leach got the crazy idea for a TV show about a stupid purple dinosaur named Barney. She came up with this disgusting idea as a plan to get her children to learn from an "evil purple dinosaur" named Barney. Barney was originally supposed to be a "teddy bear", according to Leach, but this was changed in 1987 because her children were interested in dinosaurs (probably because they were brain-drained by the horrors of Barney the Evil Purple Menace). So this new show was about an evil purple dinosaur who murders babies and children and sings annoying songs to 0 year old babies, in order to teach them to pee on the carpet and make their mothers pissed off, which led to murders around the globe. In 1988, the name of the show was supposed to be named Barney and the Backyard Gang. The series eventually premiered on VHS on October 13, 1988, however this was a big mistake.

On October 13, 1988, Barney and the Backyard Gang premiered on VHS showing Barney the Dinosaur for the first time. The first episode was called The Backyard Show. The series of videos lasted from October 13, 1988-October 20, 1991. In total, 8 episodes were released on VHS. The names of the videos in order were, (The Backyard Show, Three Wishes, A Day at the Beach, Waiting for Santa, Campfire Sing-Along, Barney Goes to School, Barney in Concert, and Rock with Barney). The series of videos ended with the 8th episode, Rock with Barney on October 20, 1991. However, the series was popular with parents and 0 year old babies, but the creator of the series Sheryl Leach wanted to put Barney on television after the popularity of Barney and the Backyard Gang increased when she had the idea to give Barney his own half-hour TV show on PBS Kids. Although the series only had 8 episodes released, the show was popular with babies, and Leach decided to air it on PBS Kids as a new TV show starring the evil Barney the Dinosaur. The new show Barney & Friends premiered on PBS Kids on June 22, 1992.

Barney & Friends years (1992-2010)[]

On June 22, 1992, the Antichrist baby show Barney & Friends premiered on PBS Kids. It became a huge success for babies and parents in the United States and Canada, but it was completely frowned upon by many older kids and adults, especially from the babies' fathers. In the show, Barney the Dinosaur is joined by this gay gang of little kids who worship Barney like he's the Lord, and a few other evil dinosaurs named Baby Bop, BJ, and sometimes Riff. And these crazy kids are like constantly singing annoying songs to this stuffed purple dinosaur toy, and then he comes to life as this big purple maniac who eats little babies and romantically falls in love with them by kissing the kids on the lips and singing his obnoxious I Love You (song) to them.

In several alleged episodes of the show, Barney is singing annoying songs constantly and the kids try to beat him up while the characters at Sesame Street are going on a rampage to kill Barney and save the world, and also save Children's television. In some parts of these specials, there are some hidden behind the scenes clips of Mr. Rogers, Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, and many other baby show characters beating up or blowing up Barney until all that's left is bones and blood!

In 1993, Barney the Dinosaur had an interview with Oprah on Saturday Night Live and explained to her that he liked to "eat young children and murder little babies to death". The interview went viral on the news and Barney was arrested for explaining to parents that he liked to murder little kids, because he is "a bad influence for little kids and babies". After Barney was arrested his show was suspended for 6 months, meanwhile with Barney actually doing drugs and being allegedly drunk for doing illegal drugs and smoking marijuana.

After Barney the Dinosaur returned to the show in 1993, he started working on more new episodes for the show discussing other topics such as "manners, going to school, the ABC's, and feeling sad". However, the show's popularity went up, while Barney soon became a drug-induced dinosaur singing all the time and annoying the hell out of many parents until they would go completely insane. In 1994, Barney the Dinosaur started filming episodes with them and the characters from Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers once again beating him up like they did back in 1992.

In the mid 1990's, a few parodies of Barney the Dinosaur were seen on MTV from popular music artists like Tony Mason for the hit song, Barney's on Fire in 1997. The song was about Barney the Dinosaur being set on fire. There was also a parody of Barney from Weird Al Yankovic with a Barney reference in it. It was called Jurassic Park (song), an infamous hit song from the 1990's. Some of the lyrics of the song were, "I'm afraid those things'll harm me, 'Cause they sure don't act like Barney... ". In 1994, a comic strip was published about a 10 year old boy named Jason writing a letter to PBS telling them that Barney should be eating the kids after he saw Jurassic Park to which his friend Marcus says he would watch the show if that happened. In 1997, a few Evil Barney videos were uploaded on the Internet such as Evil Barney Bus Driver, Evil Barney Babysitter, among many others. In 2001, many kids began making up songs on elementary school playgrounds, with a parody of Barney's I Love You (song) being changed to I Hate You (song). Many kids sang "I hate you, you hate me... " followed by various threats to killing Barney.

Barney the Murderer (2001-2010)[]

In 2001, it was reported on CNN that Barney was becoming a serial murderer and planned to abuse millions of children, and join forces with the Teletubbies, The Wiggles, and Sesame Street. The show Barney & Friends was still on, but Barney was becoming even more stupid than before. He was always singing his annoying songs to little babies, and constantly kissing the kids at the end of the episodes like he's falling in love with them. In 2002, TV Guide ranked the show Barney & Friends as #50 on TV Guide's List of Top 50 Worst Shows of All Time (Note: 50 was at the bottom). In 2003, many people uploaded videos on the Internet about how Barney was evil. In 2004, Barney came out with hundreds of VHS tapes featuring Barney and the kids. In 2005, Barney attacked even more babies around the world by hypnotizing them to fall in love with Barney and allegedly having sex with the little babies. In 2006, a vast majority of kids older than 8 years old already hated Barney the Dinosaur. In 2007, thousands of videos on YouTube were uploaded by older kids and adults about Barney getting killed. On July 9, 2007, a secret missing episode of Barney & Friends premiered on PBS Kids. It was about Barney and the kids learning about drugs. A few popular characters were featured in that episode, such as Drew Pickles, Ronald McDonald, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Elmo made a cameo appearance in the episode. Ironically, while the guy in the Barney suit was off set, he was discovered to have been doing drugs and smoking cigarettes while the show was on a commercial break. At the end of the episode, Barney sang his infamous I Love You (song) to the kids. About 5 seconds later, Barney the Dinosaur was shot in the head, and the Tommy & Rumble song Elmo's Got a Gun played during the credits. In April 2008, PBS Kids found comments on their episodes of Barney & Friends on YouTube with strong language and offensive humor. In May 2008, many parents officially turned away from Barney because they felt that the show no longer had educational values, and the fact that mostly every 6 year old kid of today would never watch that show again in today's society. In March 2009, Barney was still harassing little babies and making parents pissed off to their heads. In April 2009, Barney became a popular subject on the Internet and in images on Google. Barney & Friends began running season 13 in 2009, but the show was finally going downhill for the first time in forever. In June 2010, Barney once overdosed on cocaine and was eventually rushed to the hospital with symptoms of depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental illness from overdosing on medicine and anti-depressants. In July 2010, Barney experienced some symptoms of brain cancer, suicidal thoughts, and severe depression including Barney saying death threats to himself in the hospital. On November 2, 2010, the show Barney & Friends was officially cancelled for good and gave a sign that the purple dinosaur was soon going to die. On November 2, 2010, Barney the Dinosaur experienced his final moments on Earth with his final words ever spoken. The show was filmed and broadcast on PBS by Barney as, "Barney the Dinosaur: I Will Always Love You!" special featuring Barney's severe lung cancer and difficulty breathing. Barney explained to all his fans that he would be departing from the show and stating that he will always love the babies, and continue haunting little babies' minds and finally with his last words "And remember kids, I will always love you no matter what, so that I can haunt you down for the rest of your life, but the most important thing is that I love you. And remember, I love you!". And at the end of the special you can hear Barney coughing heavily and slowly dying. As the credits roll, you can hear the sad Whitney Houston song "I Will Always Love You (song)" playing in celebration of Barney's miraculous death.

Death of Barney (2010-2015)[]

On November 2, 2010, around 10:37 PM that evening, Barney suddenly died a slow but very painful death. After the report of his death went viral, a brand new TV series was aired on Adult Swim as a celebration to Barney the Dinosaur's death, called Kill Barney (TV show). The series was about The Many Deaths of Barney, following a pile of episodes featuring Barney's misadventures of getting killed and experiencing various ways of Barney getting killed. In 2010, people began making YouTube Poop videos about Barney getting killed. In 2011, YouTube was full of thousands of Barney parody videos where Barney gets killed so many times. In 2012, Barney was no longer allowed to be mentioned on Sesame Street, because of the stupidity and idiocy he taught Elmo there. In 2014, Barney began rolling in his grave, probably because Cookie Monster from Sesame Street was becoming a Veggie Monster, and that the government never paid back any of Barney's profit. In July 2014, Kill Barney (TV show) began its third season and passed the 50 episode milestone in September 2014. In March 2015, Barney was considered to be "forgotten from Children's television forever"! However, there have been a few drawbacks to this phase of Barney getting killed in today's society.

Post-Barney extinction and resurrection (2015-2024)[]

In 2015, Barney finally became extinct and died for the sake of reality. As the Post-Barney extinction has developed and Barney the Dinosaur is dead, the sake of mankind has been saved all thanks to the total extinction of Barney. Now that the extinction of Barney has finally begun, now we don't have to worry about Barney haunting our children's lives anymore! However, he may now be attacking little 1 year old babies in Africa and Germany. In the end, Barney the Dinosaur is dead, and now we don't have to have nightmares about him anymore!

Cancelled Barney & Friends reboot (2017)[]

In 2017, the notorious children's TV show Barney & Friends was originally planned to have a reboot that year. However, the reboot was reportedly cancelled probably due to controversy surrounding the news of the planned reboot, thus the reboot was scrapped, meaning that Barney the Dinosaur is definitely dead today.

Barney's World reboot (2024-present)[]

In October 2024, Barney & Friends was rebooted in the new show Barney's World when Barney the Dinosaur was resurrected as a less annoying and less creepy purple dinosaur on Cartoon Network's morning block Cartoonito, on Max (streaming service), and on YouTube. The show received more positive reviews than the original Barney & Friends series for being less creepy and less annoying than the original Barney from the 1990's.

Future of Barney & Friends (Coming 2030)[]
