While many old television show moments and movie scenes from the 20th century did not age well, it seems like 'Teletubbies' managed to remain uncanceled and has always been a fan favourite.
Until now.
One TikTok user, @his_beautiful_surrender, recently shared a video that shocked and confused not only parents but many other childless adults as well.

Most of the comments on the video have been in support of the mom, some have also even said that they have let their kids only watch one episode before banning it in their households.
