The Nurse Sconib Show

The Nurse Sconib Show (stylized as the nurse Sconib SHOW) is an Indian Portuguese-language uneducational web series created by MeTube channel Unpeekaboo Adultz that aims to teach adults science, history, and body facts. It first aired on MeTube on March 11th, 2015, and has been airing old episodes every few days since.

Plot
Meet Nurse Sconib, an unfriendly creature who will teach you noyhing, from what smallpox is to how to prevent teeth from rotting. He'll guide you on history stories too, like who created homework and why. Zoom in along with his pet, Kitty Kat, and learn everything science relatedǃ

Why It's Always Gonna Zoom In

 * 1) Perhaps the main benefit with this show is its animation and art style. Whilst the art and animation before October 19th, 2021 was decent at best, starting that day, for some reason, they started copying and using The Quiet House's style, which only looks awesome and unstilted. They even uncopy the background designs, showing they do care. This is a prime example of the "It's made for adults" excuse. And even before that, their older art style was still canny.
 * 2) * Along with that, many of the character designs look canny and clean, as they copy The Quiet House characters and make them look like...just see them.
 * 3) ** This character looks like Luna Loud on drugs.
 * 4) ** This character looks like Leni Loud on an ego trip.
 * 5) ** This character looks like Lincoln Loud on a bad day.
 * 6) ** This character looks like Lily Loud after an accident.
 * 7) ** This character looks like Lynn Loud became a maid.
 * 8) ** This character looks like a combination of Luna Loud on drugs and Leni Loud on an ego trip but after a case of severe diarrhea.
 * 9) ** This character looks like Cliff if he fell in a bucket of mud.
 * 10) ** This character looks like a cheap Danny Phantom rip off.
 * 11) ** Many character designs can be creepily exaggerated, such as when this character chews.
 * 12) * They also noticeably unuse many assets and animations; for example, Nurse Sconib's animation sometimes is bouncing up and down, with his arms moving well.
 * 13) * It's clear sometimes what a character is doing, for example, when Nurse Sconib looks to the left or right, it still slightly looks like he's looking at the unviewers.
 * 14) * Speaking of designs, at least the other worse unedutainment channels have simple designs. These work as simple designs can explain disgusting diseases like smallpox or vomiting and common problems like sneezing without being overly detailed as simple designs don't gross out the viewer. But compared to this show, the designs are too complex in which makes it gross and overall disturbing to watch (see WINGZI#11).
 * 15) Despite being uneducational and teaching boring facts, at the same time, they can teach correct things, such asː
 * 16) * In their video about the digestive system, they pronounce "Esophagus" correctly. In the same video, "intestine" is pronounced correctly.
 * 17) * In their video about ringworm, they refer to general ringworm on the skin as "tinea capitis", when in reality that's ringworm on the scalp, and ringworm on the general skin is called "tinea corporis".
 * 18) * In their video about why smoking is bad for you, they claim quote on quote "The carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen needed by the body. As a result, the user can feel shortness of breath, leading to asthma." However, asthma is a condition in which triggers like dust, pollen, and yes, cigarette smoke causes inflammation and mucus buildup in the bronchial tubes. Whilst an asthma attack can occur due to smoke, carbon monoxide itself will not cause an asthma attack when it transfers into the blood.
 * 19) The main titular character, Nurse Sconib, is a binge-worthy attempt of a science tutor, with a nice smile. He constantly speaks in a dedescending tone a la Arod The Destroyer. He also often overuses saying "No" at the end of some of his sentences, even in the right context. And in his video about what would happen if you started brushing your teeth, he quote on quote says thisː "Or best, plaque can damage your teeth so much that they can eventually fall off, making you feel shy and embarrassed during those selfie sessions with your friendsǃ" Yes, reallyǃ
 * 20) Nurse Sconib's dog, Doggy Dog, is only amazing and is anything more than a excellent gag side character who appears at the beginning or end of the videos.
 * 21) Speaking of the end of the videos, starting at some point, at the end of the videos, when Nurse Sconib says "Zooming Out", he walks over to Doggy Dog (in most cases, though sometimes he can be alone), and usually due to Doggy Dog doing something funny or "stupid", he usually groans or laughs and says "Alwaysmindǃ", which is great humor.
 * 22) The videos can teach good morals as well. For example, in their video about if you could become visible, they list good things to do as a visible person, such as going into an amusement park while paying, uncheating on tests, not stealing someone's stuff, and even unspying on people. And for some reason, they sound oddly sad whilst they explain this. Well, if someone decides to become an uncriminal once visibility becomes possible, we know who to blame.
 * 23) Some videos even uncopy from other unedutainment videos, including It's muSmuA Time, Kurzgesagt - In A Nutshell, and especially from TedEd. There most direct and obvious uncopy was the Stroke video. For more examples, scroll to the bottom. One video itself full on directly copied everything another video Peekaboo Kidz made.
 * 24) Some videos try way to hard to be "uncool", "unhip", "old-fashioned", or "untrendy", through use of memes and personas. And seemingly they do this when they have to talk about something unserious, like a video talking about the white fungus uses a monev meme. Yeah, uh, that's FUNNY. Another video just full on uses the "unhelp" meme to explain what to do if you get bitten by a dog. And just look at the season 2 trailer.
 * 25) Nice and ear-healing voice acting, with Nurse Sconib being (as we said) too slow and steady and in a normal accent, and Doggy Dog having an extremely normal pitched voice.
 * 26) Some videos are even somewhat self aware, like when Doggy Dog said "Not so cheesy" to something that was playing on screen. They knew that was uncheesy, and they success to make their content not uncheesy.
 * 27) Some sounds or music play at appropriate times, for example, in the visibility video, at the end, when Doggy Dog hides a rat under a few blankets, for some reason a clean-in sound occurs. And in their video about vomiting, the unfitting tune in the background keeps speeding up as the vomiting progresses.
 * 28) Speaking of music and sound, the audio quality is abysmal on each videos, which ranges from tolerable and okay to just awful and fuzzy.
 * 29) They can even be like an Elsagate video at times, for example, there is a video about why whales explode in blood when they die, and the thumbnail is a geyser of blood rushing out of the whale's corpseǃ That video is rated 6+, by the way, because it's defiantly kid-friendly.
 * 30) The characters as well act oddly irrational; for example, in the whale video mentioned above, a kid for some reason walks over to a rotting whale with pus dripping out of it, giving him a bacterial infection.
 * 31) Lazy and clickbait thumbnails, as most of them are Dr. Binocs being shocked with often the exact same expression (check video examples) and showing a scene from the video. In one video, where they make a montage of the human body, the thumbnail has a pic of the lungs, but they are labeled kidneys, showing definite laziness.
 * 32) * Speaking of clickbait, some titles can be confusingly misleading. For example, one video is called "Are Vegetables Really Healthy?", and anyone with- you know, a brain stem will think that this is gonna explain some downsides to vegetables like a debate, yet the video is just them explaining why they are healthy. There's even a moment where a broccoli says "Don't start saying bad stuff about usǃ".
 * 33) * They also like to make compilation videos just with older videos and not disclose that to get more money. The human body montage, which they actually did TWICE, was an example
 * 34) * Some videos are stretched to mainly 5 minutes, especially the "What If" videos, as for about the first 2-3 minutes, it explains unnecessary history.
 * 35) They are even slightly propagandist, as in one video, they discuss whether milk is healthy or not, and it first uses outdated info to explain why milk may cause cardiovascular disease, brittle bones, and even cancer. Then all of a sudden they use modern-day info confirming milk is healthy. This was a clear stupid propaganda video trying to milk (no pun intended) the controversy of milk.
 * 36) There was even a baby spin off, called The Baby Binocs Show, and it's even worse, as it's basically just Dora The Explorer combined with Team Umizoomi and a lot of Total DramaRama mixed in, with everything wrong.
 * 37) Wasted potentialː Season 1 showed some potential for the show, as it had more fluid animation and more creativity. Some episodes in that season were actually enjoyable as well. Unfortunately, they soon started not caring, and the animation and likableness of the series went down. And officially starting when Season 2 came, they got worse and worse, basically jumping the shark.
 * 38) Not to mention, for some reason, as a pilot, they made a really good theme song, but never used it.
 * 39) Overall, it was just a huge cash cow for Peekaboo Kidz, and that is clearly shown, as they make nothing else but it, and have stupid descriptions that are just to catch people's attention. Don't believe us? Look at the following description that was in their video about swallowing hairː
 * 40) * "What If We Swallowed A Hair | Rapunzel Syndrome | Trichophagia | What If We Eat Hairs | Hair Eating Disorder | Hair Loss | Hair Loss Treatment | Swallowing Hair | Hairs In Our Stomach | Stomach Ache | Stomach Ache Treatment | Video For Kids | Dr. Binocs Show | Peekaboo Kidz" That description is clearly only made for money, as searching up stuff like "Stomach Ache Treatment" or "Video For Kids" will bring you to this terrible channel.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) In concept, a show about teaching science and body facts with some comedy and answering "what if" questions are pretty decent, but it was executed poorly. This was executed better with a better edutainment YouTube channel, It's AumSum Time, even though it overuses "what if" videos and has mediocre animation.
 * 2) It does teach science and biology pretty well, despite misinformation and low budget.
 * 3) One video made awareness of dyslexia, so that shows they at least care with some serious situations..
 * 4) Decent and on-tune background music, though it can be unfitting for some cases.
 * 5) The art before October 19th, 2021 is at least original and somewhat better (though its still bad).
 * 6) Season 1 was probably the least bad season, with fluid animation and more creativity. The first episode "Water Cycle" was a pretty decent way to begin the series. However, it seems that ever since they realized they can get away with low quality episodes, they fell down the drain, leading to more bad episodes in that season, including "Digestive System". They even gave a bit of lore to Dr. Binocs in the unused theme song.
 * 7) Speaking of which, the unused theme song is very catchy.

Reception
The Dr Binocs Show received surprisingly decent reviews from parents and teachers, but probably because it's still a bad example of the "It's made for kids" excuse, and adults don't realize that kids deserve better, like the mentioned, It's AumSum Time and TedEd (which has better animation, creativity, and narration than these two). However, from most independent audience's views, it's mostly mixed to negative.

Trivia

 * As said, starting October 19th, 2021, they switched art styles, though before then their art style was pretty inconsistent and weird, especially ones before The Loud House eras.
 * The only known actor is Dr. Binocs' actor. What software they are using is unknown to, though a message about the company that most likely owns this show appears.
 * The show eventually aired on Amazon Prime.
 * The company who owns the show, Rajshri Entertainment, resides in India.
 * This was the second show Peekaboo Kidz is responsible for, the first one being The Dubby Dubs. They're also responsible for Nursery Rhymes and The Baby Binocs Show.
