themathewflames
Funny fan animations for older kids, but the language gets a little loose and it's clearly made for teens who already know these games.
Best for ages 11+
This is a fan animation channel built around video game and pop culture parodies. Think Sonic, Deltarune, and movie crossovers rendered in a goofy, chaotic style that leans hard into internet humor. The creator's personality bleeds through constantly, with little side comments and jokes tucked into the captions that feel like a teenager goofing around with their friends.

KidWatch Assessment
This is a fan animation channel built around video game and pop culture parodies. Think Sonic, Deltarune, and movie crossovers rendered in a goofy, chaotic style that leans hard into internet humor. The creator's personality bleeds through constantly, with little side comments and jokes tucked into the captions that feel like a teenager goofing around with their friends.
The tone is pretty harmless most of the time, but it's also unfiltered. There's mild swearing scattered throughout, bleeped or implied adult language, and jokes that assume you're already plugged into meme culture. Younger kids who don't know these fandoms will be lost, and the humor occasionally ventures into territory that's more appropriate for middle schoolers and up.
The creator seems genuinely passionate and the animations show real effort. It's not polished, but that scrappy quality is part of the charm. Just know going in that this isn't a curated kids' channel. It's one person making stuff they think is funny, and the guardrails are pretty relaxed.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
The transcript references 'not family friendly words' in place of actual bleeped or implied profanity directed at a character, suggesting strong language that was self-censored but still clearly present in spirit.
The humor repeatedly frames aggressive or over-the-top angry outbursts as funny and cool, which normalizes that kind of volatile reaction style for younger viewers.
The video is framed around the John Wick premise, meaning gun violence and 'pew pew' combat are central to the humor and action, even if it's played for laughs.
A joke references cryptocurrency in a way that treats it casually and positively, which is a minor but notable commercial reference aimed at a young audience.
The caption 'ruh roh raggy aaw planet dead' treats the destruction of a planet as a punchline, which is very minor but reflects the channel's habit of making light of dark themes through humor.
The transcript drops a casual 'damn' and includes chaotic all-caps yelling as a recurring comedic device, setting a tone that's a bit abrasive for younger kids.
What Parents Should Know
Watch a video or two yourself first if your kid is under 11, because the humor assumes familiarity with teen internet culture and some language slips through.
Check whether your kid actually knows these fandoms before pointing them here, since the jokes won't land at all for kids who haven't played Deltarune or followed Sonic.
Talk with your kid about the casual swearing and implied language, since the creator doesn't seem to think twice about it and neither will younger viewers who absorb it passively.
Treat this as a jumping-off point for conversations about fan creativity, since the channel genuinely shows what one person can build with animation tools and passion for the games they love.
Skip this channel for sensitive kids or those under about 10, but for a teenager who's already deep into these fandoms it's mostly just goofy fun with rough edges.
Recommended for ages 11+.
