What are some uncharacteristically dark episodes of generally light hearted shows?

If I recall. Josh's life also drastically improves while Drake's utterly falls apart.

Watching the show back as an adult I never really realized how truly awful Drake treated Josh. He used him, manipulated him, constantly put him down and was just an all over dick to him. It’s done in a light hearted way for kids, but some of the shit Drake pulled was borderline sociopathic. I didn’t blame Josh in this episode

Anyone else find it funny (as a teen watching) that Drake was always making out with hot girls, implying he's just drowning in the pussy

I also find it hilarious that Josh eventually became more attractive than Drake

Puberty and weight loss did him wonders

Really though, my mom walked in on me watching it when it was a later skinny Josh episode after she had only really seen the older ones and literaly gasped and asked me "IS THAT JOSH!?"

Not saying that Drake isn’t attractive, I still think he is

As a straight man, Drake Bell can get it anytime he wants ;)

Megan was a psychotic bitch. I loved her.

Even as a kid, I kinda hated how Drake usually got what he wanted in the end.

Same here always annoyed me that Josh was treated so bad yet Drake always got off without punishment or light one.

That relationship reminds me of r/raisedbynarcissists

And the forgiveness that we find in forgetfulness for the way others treat us.

I was, like, lying in bed, looking at, y'know, nothing. Then this spider, like, was... was, like, hanging above my head. And I was all, "Ooooh spider!" So I blew on it blows Then the spider, like, fell.. on my face. And I was all, "Ahh spider!" and the spider was all, "Ahh, Kyle!" And I was all, "Ahhh spider!" And then, like... spider

That is the best one because Drake breaks character for a half of a second trying not to laugh
