Hiking those mountains, Nigel wasn't being overbearing. That is how you do mountaineering. It was 100% necessary.

33:23 Let me get this straight, Nigel in the frigid cold snow, kept his daughter warm, built an igloo while risking frostbite, and then saved the lives of his daughter and 3 random strangers? That’s amazing.

The egg salad comment made me smile. He’s so sweet to recognize and celebrate her wins too. It is cool and impressive to boil eggs that high up. I will say that I think Nigel being extra cautious probably also comes from him understanding the environment and situation he’s in. He’s having to keep his kid safe alone. When he’s with the entire family he has some back up eyes and hands on deck in the form of his wife and teenage daughter so he has the wiggle room to cut loose. Alone on a very accident prone area with a child he needs to be at the level that he was. I didn’t see his behavior as overbearing at all even when I watched this as a kid. That’s him being responsible. I can’t even imagine how freaked out he must have been when she went missing.

I agree. Traversing the Andes is no joke and if it gives Nigel pause instead of raring ahead, you know it's risky. Nigel is also supportive and protective of his family. Knowing the risks, he agreed in order to support Eliza's curiosity. However, Eliza only thought about her adventuring not about the risks, even with explanation over and over again as to why they were doing things a certain way to keep them alive. She was quick to be angry at her father, blaming him for making the trip mundane up/raining on her parade until Santusa corrected her about what happened. Eliza's hubris nearly cost her. And don't get me started on Santusa. Even as a kid I was like "This Llama needs to not enable Eliza's behavior." She kept fanning the flames and encouraging behavior that could cause harm to Eliza. I feel like 75% of her risky behavior could have been squashed if Santusa was on Nigel's side. But I also have to give her some slack, she's a llama and used to the Andes, she lacks depth to understand danger of them because she was bred to traverse them. Poor Nigel.

I agree as well - I think he was protective in that way because he knows the dangers, and he's much smarter than his demeanor makes it seem. & he wasn't protective to keep his promise to Marianne, but simply because what they were doing was incredibly dangerous and, obviously, he loves Eliza & wanted to keep her safe.

Agreed. Maybe he could've done more to explain to Eliza the seriousness of the situation so she wasn't so resistant, but then again . . .

My dad died when I was eight after a year long battle with leukemia, and some of my feelings always goes back to what could have been: what would my relationship with him would be like as an adult. From stories I could glean, he was similar to Nigel in that he loved the outdoors so much that he wanted to become a park ranger and work with nature. When he was in college, he and some friends actually spent a summer backpacking the entire Appalachian trail. But plans change and after a decade or so in the military, he happily worked as an accountant and part time in Sears' hardware department. When I was born, he was excited until I was old enough to join Cub Scouts because he was an Eagle Scout, and loved it enough that he wanted to share that with me. He participated with every event like the Pinewood Derby (he carved my car using his band saw), every camping trip until his health declined. I made Eagle to honor him. And to demonstrate how good of a scout he was, there was a time when our neighbors were moving out of their house and they had a pair of young twins at hand, Dad was passing by and saw how poorly packed and poorly secured their moving truck was. Dad dropped everything he was doing and had them empty out their truck and restart packing it from the ground up. He ensured everything fitted neatly, economically, and securely using every rope knot he knew (it also helps that my parents had experience moving around a lot when they were deployed at various parts of the world, so they knew how to make the best of their travelling space). And when that wasn't enough, he followed them to their new house to help with moving in.

Another note on the rope, they're on a steep mountain. He didn't tie the rope around her until they were up there. The rope is another safety measure (if she slipped off the edge of the mountain for example, he'd be able to pull her back up).

Something I really appreciate about this episode is how even though he was worried about Eliza, Nigel never raised his voice at her

I think Nigel understood there is a time and place for discipline and that this was not it. He was more concerned with finding Eliza and making sure she was safe than punishing her; though he probably felt that powerful anger born from fear that loving fathers sometimes lose control over. Plus he also might have figured Eliza learned her lesson but still won't let her come along with him on any adventures like this for some time.

I like how we get to see kind of a role reversal with Debbie and Mary Ann. Usually Debbie is the one with dramatic and unhinged behavior, and Mary Ann is more level headed and mom like. But I guess we can see where Debbie might get that unhinged behavior from lol. Also I am definitely ready to see you drag some trash, right to the curb!

It’s an amazing show! I totally recommend checking it out 😁

I can see why Eliza would find what Nigel is doing is overbearing, but everything he did was just the bare minimum of traversing a dangerous mountain path. Regulating breathing, staying away from the ledge, not leaving the path, and keeping attached to your teammates is just basics. It's not like he bundled her up so much she couldn't move, or force her to stay on the llama, or denied her any pit stops even if they were nearby. He's only overbearing from Eliza's perspective, imo. Nigel is a trained outdoorsman, he knows what he's doing, he knows when to be more careful than normal. He's fun loving and up for danger, but not when it's the life or death of his children.

I don't think Nigel was overbearing at all. At least considering their situation. The reason why he tied her to him was due to prep for climbing the mountain. Reason being that visibility during a snowstorm can be extremely low. Where you can't even see in front of your face. You can see when climbers venture up mountains like Mt. Everest, they do the same thing. Not to mention, he brought up the breathing technique as a precaution for if she did wander off on her own to climb. I have a feeling he knew he couldn't stop her, but offered advice to make sure she'd make it out the other side. Bonus points to Nigel too because he didn't yell at Eliza He was just composed and relieved. He was primarily concerned for her safety and didn't want to scare her about how close she was to death.

I love the wild thornberries all because of Nigel Thornberry himself, he carried the show big time.

The comment about Nigel being a good husband is so spot on. At first I thought it would be about his genuine and enthusiastic support over the egg. But your statement rings even more true. I'm sure there are many dads who do cut loose and walk a little close to the edge with the kids when mom is away. But this dad also respects his wife.

About the trash dads honestly no. It feels so refreshing and wholesome to see very subtle (at least when as a kid watching ) and loving character moments from those who aren't in the spotlight. I can't begin to think of other characters that fit this dynamic but its so wonderful to see. Im loving the dive the past few videos have been about moments like these. Being able to look back now as an adult and see Nigel was extremely cautions for the care of his daughter and promise to his wife is just not something i picked up on at all.

Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys were my favourite shows as a kid. I wanted to be Eliza so badly. So appreciative of the content you make as I get to experience my favourite childhood shows again.

If I remember right, during another episode, when Eliza went missing in the Himalayas, Nigel scoured the mountains looking for her, when he found her in a cave, he thought she was being accosted by a _yeti,_ and without hesitation was ready to fight to keep Eliza safe. Nigel was ready to trade blows with a being likely twice his size with likely three times his strength to protect his daughter from harm. Nigel might be the adventurous type, but when it comes to his family, he won't hesitate to be there for them or fight for them. That's way more than some Cartoon dads even think about their families.

I mean in Santusa’s defense, she’s a llama: a species that, while not as aggressive as say donkeys, are still solitary by nature and thus more prone to being independent, headstrong and outspoken. Fun fact: the donkey’s solitary nature is also where its notorious stubbornness comes from as they have a higher sense of self preservation than horses. Getting back to Nigel however he, Ray and Hugh create an interesting Ven diagram with Hugh as the mentor, Nigel as the protector and Ray as the disciplinarian. Hugh doesn’t tend to oversee disciplining Jimmy himself both because Judy is the sterner one of the two and because both trust Jimmy to be smart enough to understand why things are how they are. And while they do worry about Jimmy’s safety, they also know from personal experience that he is more than capable of not only protecting himself but saving them if the gloves come off. Additionally Jimmy’s intelligence comes with overconfidence thus he needed a mentor in conventional wisdom Nigel and Marianne are both safety minded because of their occupation as naturalists though Marianne is, like Judy, the sterner of the two compared to her husband. Additionally while they do try to teach the girls, it’s repeatedly stated that their lifestyle doesn’t allow for conventional education hence why their teaching priorities center around creative thinking, problem solving and survival Ray is a single parent trying to balance protecting his kids with teaching them discipline. He also has Otto who is notoriously more stubborn and reckless whereas Jimmy is at least quick to figure out where he went wrong and correct himself

As someone with at least a small amount of outdoors exploration experience, and as a formal scout (which definitely taught me a lot even if I don’t routinely go climbing Machu Pichu), Nigel’s expectations were genuinely reasonable. The only major fault I can see with his actions (and frankly I think as a character he would do this, but for the sake of storytelling he didn’t) was he didn’t really explain thoroughly why he was limiting her, when that really should have been a conversation from the getgo. Mountain paths are dangerous, even ones that are well tread. Cliff edges can be volatile and break at any time if you aren’t prepared. Staying close together in a snow blown path helps ensure that no one gets lost or left behind, or worse fall off. Frankly that could have been done a bit better by him tying himself to the rope too, as having ahold of it would only help so much if she tripped, but I think he was also anticipating the possibility that he might fall and drag her along with him. And frankly, in a real world scenario, rash decisions similar to hers have gotten many people killed. The snow blew away her foot prints and her hat was the only real indicator of where she may have gone, so she was really only saved by the power of plot armor here.

Nigel Thornberry's "SMASHIN'" and Donnie's Minecraft Enchantment Table language is the most memorable part of the series.

Nigel Thornberry was a dad who would risk everything for his family. I remember one episode where Nigel films a trip that he and his were on. Debbie was trying to get a guy to pay attention to her and his wife wasn't happy with the trip that they were on.

The short of it is that parenting is a hard, sometime thankless yet often rewarding job and there’s no one right way to parent a child. Each child and each parent is different. Same with their living situation and the parent’s employment. Everyone has a different situation/dynamic.

I had a crush on Deb when I was little

This was honestly one of my favorite Wild Thornberry’s episodes, and my case in point for why Nigel both knows what he’s doing, and is one of the better cartoon dads of his era.

My favorite moment with Nigel is when Eliza got appendicitis and he did everything to get her to the hospital.

Wow! We have another good cartoon father to add to the roster: Nigel Thornberry, meet Bill Green, Martin Chatterley (from Kiff), Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Dr. Light, Oscar Proud, Grunkle Stan (he’s like a father), Dave Seville, Chip Whistler’s dad, Lawrence Fletcher, and Bob Belcher. Good thing he’s not grouped with Ginger Foutley’s father, David Read, Buck Cluck, Darth Vader, Ian Hawke (before Chipwrecked), Doofenshmirtz’ father, Felix Boulevardez (because he doesn’t punish LaCienega as he should), the bad parental figures

I love how most of Nigel's techniques are also used by real mountaineers, even the "leash" is a lifeline used to keep them from getting separated

23:24 As a Texan, I can say that Tim Curry did a better Texas accent than he did Brooklyn accent as Pennywise.

as pointed out by others: nigel was enforcing normal mountaineering safety protocol. the "leash" is something used irl [though i think normally you just hold it, but i can see for more dangerous mountain paths you actually do get tied up, and she clearly wasn't going to just hold on to it.], cliffs crumble and fall away easily and while the lama might have felt secure that doesn't mean that eliza would've been able to hold on if the ground caved and it needed to leap away. side note: I *knew* nigel was the one to save her, i just wasn't sure how she'd realize it

You just unlock a childhood memory of mine. I haven’t thought about this episode in over 20 years.

This episode was always one of my favorites.. Nigel showing how amazing he is is always a treat.

thank you wonderful viedo happy sunday too love Nigel as English kid that live in los angles it was so nice to hear my accent when move for London England to los angles as kind now I am 43 year old haha

I watched a bit of the show as a pre teen-young teen. Coming back and watching this as a 34 year old man I can say the writing for Nigel and his voice actor have no business being so good. Awards were deserved.

Another thing to mention is, that he also risked his own life to protect his daughter by putting his jacket on her and creating the iglo with only a pullover on, which definitely wouldn't help against the snow storm... Also, telling his wife what happened would've for sure caused her to go nuts and never trust him again with taking care of the childre, basically turning her into a complete helicopter parent. On the other hand can you argue that telling her could also destroy the trust his daughter may have in him as she could see him now as a "snitch".

I love Nigel. In the Wild Thornberrys movie, there’s actually a mention of Nigel having saved a bunch of his fellow classmates from a fire in the stables at the boarding school Eliza is sent to! He’s always been an incredible person.

Their first movie had a song called “Father and Daughter” that I would listen to all the time and it still brings me to tears. Nigel is such a great dad and his eccentricities just make him him

This is such a sweet video I’m happy the wild thornberys are getting more love . Very engaging and educational made me love animals

idk if I agree he was being overbearing... Tying yourself to each other is a safety tatic climbers take. he was teaching her to climb a mountain safely. Also I stood on a balcony of the tallest building where I live and it made me soooo nervous. She was running the entire time so I have no idea how I would react if we were climbing a mountain. He stayed pretty calm considering how she was acting and knowing they share genes.

He is the old school, British aristocrat style Brit. The kind WWl is famous for as well as the 1920s archeologist.

You are on a roll with these man

Thank you so much! I’m working on a huge project right now and I’m so hyped with how it’s coming along! 😁 Hoping to drop it on Friday if I can finish it in time.

I found your channel through the dark episode of shows this channel is amazing

There are many great things about Nigel Thornberry. He’s incredibly smart, eccentrically hilarious and a very dedicated husband and father. Perhaps best of all (although it has nothing to do with the character), he’s played the legendary Tim Curry. Yes, without ANY doubt, even 0.0...01% chance, Nigel Strawberry is a great father.

Hi Shawn! I also am very grateful for your videos. I get very anxious when i’m alone, and playing the videos help me not feel so by myself. I wish i had money to donate!

Yaaaas! I’ve been hoping for a Wild Thornberrys video for a while now! 🎉🎉🎉

Yessss! I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching!

I just love his british accent, he like the UK version of the Late Steve Irwin

So honored to have my comment shown first today. Yes I'm doing much better these days and have a wonderful job that accommodates my disability (mainly Autism and ADHD). I'm looking forward to more content from you in the future!

Shawn, Thank you for creating these "smashing" videos and for the hard work and research you put into each and every video. :) Watching your videos has been helping me through a difficult time and I deeply appreciate it. You've really helped so many people and I'm glad that you are aware of the positive impact you make on the daily lives of those that watch your videos. First of all, I completely agree with what you said about Nigel being a wonderful dad and the reasoning for his 'helicopter parenting' style in this particular episode. Second, I am looking forward to your upcoming video(s) dragging the parenting styles of not-so-great dads. Pointing out their bad parenting styles serves the positive purpose of highlighting what the good dads are doing right and gives them even more credit for what they do. I wanted to leave a suggestion for a possible future video in the series focusing on dads. There's a strong chance that you've already thought of this, but just in case I want to suggest it anyway since it never hurts. I was thinking about the "Parents Day" episode of Hey Arnold! and I firmly believe that Grandpa Phil should be included in highlighting great father figures. I think there needs to be some representation for 'non-traditional families' in the series too. :) I hope that you and your family are all doing well and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read this comment. As always, I look forward to the next video!

This episode hits alot for me as its the first thing I saw when I got a tv in my room when I was young coming home from school to see a tv in my room was really a childhood joy one i cant repeplicate today

New fan here, part of the audio only gang! I found you through a Spongebob video, and I could feel the effort put into said video. I love listening to podcasts and such while I push carts at Walmart, as it helps keep my mind busy. It helps that you always sound so calm, and it helps keep the stress of work away, especially recently when I've been having a lot of stress about school, work, and life in general. You basically pulled me from a spot where I was overthinking a lot of things, and I like to believe it might have genuinely kept me from falling into a very dark place in life. Keep up the good work, and don't stress yourself out like I do!

Thank you so much for your support, my friend. I genuinely appreciate it so much. It brings me so much joy to know that my videos have helped so much with everything going on in life. I definitely can relate to where you're coming from... Comments like this mean the world to me and I can't thank you enough for being a part of my KZread journey. I wouldn't be able to do this if it wasn't for fans like you. :D

Cool to hear you've been getting into gardening Shawn, I have myself too last year I had my first garden and this year I'm planning on doing another, i have started a compost bin the last month and I'm excited to see how that turns out

That’s awesome!! I took horticulture class in high school and I really enjoyed it back then, but it wasn’t until recently that I’ve actually had a yard that I could use for gardening. More than anything, I wanna get a greenhouse set up and I wanna grow some super hot peppers. 😆 I’m a sucker for a scorpion pepper sauce and I love the idea of making my own. Wishing you a bountiful harvest this year, my friend!

Your voice is the perfect voice to wine down to after a long day.

My dad and I watched this show when I was a kid it was one of few shows he watched without being in agony XD

You totally should!!! I love this show. 😁 It’s definitely worth a watch through if you haven’t seen it.

I love knowing that somewhere out there there is a lady working behind a desk listening to KZread videos about children's cartoons waiting to intake someone's information information

Driving on mountain sides with no guard rails makes me feel nostalgic for Peru hahaha was also thinking it was funny that the bus wasn't completely pack with peopld until I saw the Nuns.

Always one of my favorite cartoon dads!😊

This episode lives rent-free in my head.

One of my fav shows growing up, I rewatched it in 2022 and it was just amazing to re watch it and since I really love animals and nature, this show just has it all. One of the best shows besides SpongeBob that Nick has in my opinion.

Nigel Thornberry is a badass. Badass husband, father, wilderness explorer and more. Does he have his more questionable moments? Sure, but at the end of the day he loves his family and would, perhaps literally, go to the ends of the earth to do right by them.
