In Canada at least, there's a disclaimer before the episode, narrated by Chris/Christian Potenza, that says "This episode of TDI (TDA on Total Drama Action, of course) contains scenes of extreme stunts preformed by animated teens. Do not try anything you see here at home. Seriously. You could get really messed up. Heh heh." or something like that.. Why did CN cut it?

Perhaps CN realizes that people are smart enough to not try stupid things they see in cartoons.

I don't know, maybe they play more commercials in the US than in Canada so it has to be cut for time.

That sounds like a good possibility. While the original disclaimer was meant to be funny, I think that CN knew kids wouldn't try to imitate the actions in a cartoon and wanted to provide a more serious disclaimer for the series.

I don't know about that. Sure, there might not have been any stories about a group of friends imitating TDI, but there have been instances in the past with other shows, like the kid who died imitating some scene from Naruto.


If anything, I'd think that with the stereotype many non-USA residents have towards us, It'd be here. :p

When I first saw the disclaimer, I thought it was half satirical, half serious. since CN is more worried about it's PG rating, hence why we got their disclaimer.

no TDI disclaimer in Latin America (including Brazil) either.
I don't know if it's from CN (CN Latin America and CN USA are both based in Atlanta) or if the international version doesn't have it. (in Canada, there are the Teletoon and Fresh TV logos in the end. here, the Cake Distribution logo instead)
