In Toy Story 1, the main antagonist is Andy's' neighbor "Sid".
After a series of events Buzz and Woody end up in Sids' house, and this is bad because Sid "tortures" his toys.
Now Sid doesn't know the toys are alive and can "feel" the pain so it really isn't his fault. In the end of the movie it is revealed to him that the toys are in fact alive which ends up traumatizing him.
15 Years later (Toy Story 3) Sid returns as the garbage man.
Now the conspiracy is about WHY Sid became a garbage man. Some would say it's because he became a "loser" and couldn't get a better job. According to a Reddit user, Sid became a garbage man to protect toys that are getting thrown away by people who don't know the toys are alive. Working as a garbage man helps him find these abandoned and broken toys. Allowing him to take them home, clean and fix them up; and donate these toys to children who want them. This conspiracy theory does work because it could also be a way of Sid trying to make up for all the wrong he did to his past toys.

For the readers who are unfamiliar with the premise of the show, it's about a lab mice called the Brain that constantly tries to develop plans to take over the world. The Brain would come extremely close to his world domination plans succeeding but Pinky, the "insane one" ends up ruining the plan at the last moment.
Pinky is on the left and the Brain is on the right
On first impression, people assume that in the show "Pinky and the Brain", Pinky is the idiot while the Brain is the smart one. However, this particular conspiracy theory challenges that notion by suggesting the opposite; that Pinky is the smart one while the Brain is the idiot!
The first piece of evidence that points to this is that in the song's opening theme, the lyrics state "one is a genius, the other insane". However, the lyrics themselves never explicitly state which of the two mice is a genius.
Of course this alone isn't enough evidence, but it was enough to get devoted viewers of the show to look for more possibilities pointing to Pinky as the genius. Turns out there was more evidence!
Another of the premise within the show is that Pinky would always bring up an excellent counterpoint to the Brain's plan which the Brain would always ignore because he thinks that Pinky is an idiot. Ironically, Pinky ends up being right by the end of the episode and the Brain's plan is thwarted.
Furthermore, some episodes shows Pinky being engaged reading a book, indicating that Pinky is interested in learning. On the contrary, an episode parodying Jeopardy reveals that the Brain is actually unable to spell his name.
The evidence piece that supports this conspiracy theory the most would be in the episode "That Smarts". The Brain creates a "Smart Machine" in an attempt to make Pinky more intelligent. However, the Smart Machine changed nothing about Pinky which indicates two possible outcomes. The first outcome is that Pinky is already a genius that can't be improved further, the second outcome is that the Brain is an idiot because he is unable to design a machine that works properly.
For further information regarding this conspiracy theory, I've found this website and youtube video helpful.
The next conspiracy is the Ed Edd n Eddy Purgatory Theory, which states that everyone in the neighborhood actually died in a different time period and was sent to roam the cul-de-sac of Peach Creek Estates, the land they once lived in their former life. This theory is quite interesting because behind a innocent and happy setting, there lies each characters dark and gloomy past.
The first to die was Rolf, a son of a Shepard who lived with
his family at their farm. Not only was he the first to die, he was the first to
live in the land that would be later known as the cul-de-sac. In 1903, Rolf was
trampled to death by his bull who broke out of its cage. He took his farm animals even after death and
still takes care of them and his farming duties on a daily basis.
Right after Rolfs death Johnny and his family moved into the
farm that Rolf's family used to own. In an attempt to compensate for the lack
of friends and abundance of free time he had, Johnny created Plank, who would
stay with him for the rest of his life. After years of fighting tuberculosis
Johnny died in 1922 and took his friend Plank with him in the afterlife.
Eddy was born in New York but moved to the neighborhood in
1932 as it had begun to start forming from many families moving into the land.
Because it was during the Great Depression, Eddy became a schemer in order to
get away from the sad truth that he was living in. However, in 1939, it
inevitably brought him to his death when he drowned in a river while trying to
run away from a group of children that were trying to get revenge on Eddy after falling for his trickery.
Sarah and Ed were born in the late 40's when the cul-de-sac
started to take form from the popular preplanned developments in the post war
era. While growing up in WW2, they had different ways of escaping the brutal
reality of a working mother who was never home and a dead GI. Sarah become
controlling in order to let everyone know that she was the one who was in
charge. On the other hand, Ed shut out from the world and got involved in
comics and movies. Their death was caused by a car accident while driving to
their grandparents house.
A flower child, Nazz was born in the 60's during the hippie
era. Growing up as a beautiful girl, she always flirted with the boys and lived
carelessly. However, in the summer of 1979, a serial killer escaped from an
asylum and broke into Nazz's house. Her whole family was murdered after Nazz
was raped and killed. In the afterlife Nazz chose to completely forget about
her family which is why she does anything she wants because she has no parental figure.
Edd was born under two controlling parents who even after
his death, greatly influenced his life. He followed their footsteps
intellectually but became rather shy and timid. In 1986, a gas leak occurred
while Edd was experimenting and caused an explosion which blew him and his
house altogether.
Kevin was born on the day of Edd's death from a drunken and
abusive father. In order to relieve his stress caused by his father, he bullied other children. In 1999 Kevin tried to stand against his father, but was beaten and died while getting transported to the hospital. In Kevin's afterlife, Kevin altered his dad's personality to be a loving and caring one. However, Kevin still retains his bullying tendencies.
Jimmy was the last to join the kids when he died from
leukemia in 2000. Before his death, Jimmy lived in Kevin's old house under his over protective parents, who never let him out to play with the kids. As his days passed by, Jimmy stayed in his small bedroom fighting with his illness.
The Kanker sisters, however, are daughters of the devil sent from hell to torture the lost souls. This is very possible because they have an ability to show up anywhere in an instant, and are able to overpower the children. Their attraction to the Eds may be because that they have the weakest wills out of all the children in the neighborhood.
The theory that caught my attention and will write about
is: Everyone in the Simpsons family is a Genius; Lisa is the only one that
shows off her intellectual gift.
Fist we will start with Grandpa Abraham Simpson: He now
seems senile but throughout the Simpsons there are flashback of occupations
grandpa Simpson had. He was a fighter pilot and an amazing pianist among other occupations, which
require at least an above average intelligence. Grandpa is the only one who
isn’t current smart because of his old age.
Marge Simpson: She was an excellent student and had a chance
of having a promising career but decided to marry Homer and become a housewife.
She decided having a family made her happier than having a career.
The main concept of why none of the Simpsons really embrace
their intelligence except for Lisa is “Happiness over intelligence”
Homer Simpsons: Homer may seem too stupid to be a genius but
in Season 12 episode 9, Homer discovers he has a crayon stuck in his brain
which he put there when he was a child. The crayon is removed and homer becomes
the worlds’ smartest man to had ever lived. Homer was very smart but was
driving his friends and the city away because he was being extremely obnoxious.
In the end he stuck a crayon back in his head. He chose to be "happy and a moron" over being "a genius and miserable".
Bart Simpson: Bart decides to follow the same path as
his father at a much younger age, without having to stick a crayon in his
brain. One of the episode shows Bart to have had good grades when he was
younger but then his grades started to decline. This episode blames it on
“The Simpsons Gene” but the Homers crayon removal proves “The Simpsons Gene” wrong.
Bart grew up with his father being an idiot but happy. This proves to him that
ignorant is indeed bliss. He follows his dads’ path to be an idiot but happy. Bart's intelligence show when
he creates pranks, which are original and complicated. Even when he wants to do
better at school in his subconscious he doesn’t want to be intelligent. He
continuously teases Lisa about being a “nerd” but he does this out of love.
He wants her to make the same decision he and his father made.
Lisa Simpson: Now Lisa is extremely smart and shows it, but
she is always stressed and too tensed to have fun. She is the saddest character. In
one episode she is so depressed she is prescribed “happy pills”. Lisa despite
not being fully happy she can’t let herself be dumb. Lisa is the only one who doesn’t
choose happiness over intelligence.
Maggie Simpson: Now Maggie is an infant, she is the youngest in
the family. She is too young to decide whether to choose a path of happiness
and being dumb or like her sister be smart but sad and stressed all the time. However, even though she is still an infant on numerous occasions she shows she is very smart,
she helps save fathers life multiple times. She will later make a decision with
her two siblings as examples to guide her.
My Favorite of all conspiracies out there has to be the one about Squidward's suicide. For those of you that do not know who Squidward is, he is a character on a children's T.V. show called Spongebob Squarepants.
The Image above is a clip from the video of Squidward's Suicide. I will also provide the link to the actual video below.
Supposely there was this episode that actually aired on television and you can see within the frames that there are images of dead bloody kids. In the video when Squidward begins to look sad and depressed you can hear voices faintly in the background. Some of these voices are saying "DO IT", telling Squidward to kill himself. There is a point in the video when the viewer and Squidward are staring at each other in silence for about 5 seconds. All the viewer sees is Squidward's bloody eyed face. Word of mouth does not do this video justice. Watching the video and keeping an eye out for the 3 frames where one can see dead kids in a pool of blood with their guts hanging out Is what one needs to look for. And to answer the question of how he dies, Squidward puts a shotgun to his head and blasts it off by his bed.
There are three frames you want to look for. Though I have yet ot have spot these frames, I will provide both the full background story to this episode and the video.
Real or fake? You decide; regardless, this is pretty creepy and could ruin your childhood favorite cartoon show.

Cartoon Conspiracy: Rugrats
by Angus Nguyen
The first cartoon conspiracy we'll be discussing is a rather morbid one about Rugrats concerning Angelica.
This particular theory states that everything that has happened in Rugrats is just based off of Angelica's imagination, who was suffering from schizophrenia.
The reality is that Chuckie has already passed away as did his mother in 1966. Consequently, Chuckie's father, Chaz, is always seen as neurotic in the show.
Chaz later married to a woman named Kira during his trip to Paris. However, Kira was actually a prostitute and had a cocaine addiction. Furthermore, Kira actually had to give away her child, Kimi, to an orphanage because of Kira's inability to take care of her. Angelica ended up "creating" Kimi for the series based off of Kira's recollections of her daughter.
Tommy ended up being a stillborn and his father, Stu, never got over his Tommy's death. This explains why Stu constantly makes toys; it's a coping mechanism to deal with the loss of his son.
Phil and Lil were created because the Devilles had an abortion and Angelica did not know the gender of the baby.
The only person that actually existed in the series was Suzie. Not wanting to hurt Angelica's feelings, Suzie played along with Angelica's made up baby friends. Consequently, this is why Suzie is the only other person besides Angela that is able to talk to the babies.
This theory also extends to the the Rugrats side series, "All Grown Up" (explanation starts after 45 seconds). The video below explains how Angelica's schizophrenia extends beyond her childhood years and also reviews the conspiracy theory in terms of how accurate it is.
