Oh brother, we're in for a treat.

What are they?
Grounded videos are videos that originated from Vyond (aka GoAnimate) and have spread on to Plotagon, Gacha Life, etc.

Golden Age (2013-January 2016)
A golden age began in 2013 when African Vulture made up the idea of grounding Caillou from the PBS Kids show of the same name. The golden age ended when the regular GoAnimate discontinued Comedy World in order for the move to mobile.

Traditional
This video usually involves a character (Caillou, Rosie, Dora, Barney, etc.) escaping school/work/church/their room to go to a restaurant (usually Chuck E. Cheese's or McDonalds), they of course get grounded.

Great Wolf Lodge
These videos involve the character going to Great Wolf Lodge (sometimes another resort hotel chain like Kalahari Resorts) and going into the same antics like getting the raft stuck, yelling that there are sharks in the wave pool, etc.

In-Depth
The videos usually start out with the family walking into the Great Wolf Lodge. TBA.

Misbehaves at Restaurant
This video usually involves a character (Caillou, Rosie, Dora, Warren Cook, etc.) destroying a restaurant after an item is unavailable.

Restaurant closed
This usually applies to a pizzeria like Chuck E. Cheese's, Peter Piper Pizza, Cici's Pizza or Little Caesars, where the restaurant is closed temporarily and the victim (usually Caillou, Rosie, Dora or Barney) destroys the restaurant, and then... the Grounded scene.

Rainbow Card
This card is usually the best of the best, this card means you get an insane amount of time off, even forever.

White Card
This card usually means nothing, it's really just a blank sheet of paper that grants you nothing, but the good news is, you don't get punished neither!

Black Card
This card is usually the worst of the worst, the one card you don't want to get, this card means (most of the time) you are expelled from school or fired from work.

12th Grade
This grade either has the kid (usually a teenager or an aged up version of Caillou, Rosie, Dora, Little Bill, etc.) say their dog ate their homework or come in too late for class.

11th Grade
This usually involves a kid getting the wrong homework (as in the video made by Rosie).

10th Grade
This usually is a food fight, where the antagonist throws food at every one of the kids.

Playing Very Loud Music
This punishment involves loud music magically appearing in the videos background, although some punishment videos have speakers visible in the background.

Escapes Prison
A rather recent trend of videos, TBA.

Creates a clone to escape school
The clone goes to school while the antagonist (due to the subject being a trend before Caillou videos were popular, usually characters like Eric, David, Warren Cook or Brian would be involved) goes to places like the movies, Chuck E. Cheese's and/or the city. The clone eventually loses power and the scheme is called out and the character gets grounded.

Character Meets Clone
A character (Caillou, most of the time) meets a clone of themselves (which is usually nothing more than a different shirt/pants color).

Popularity Levels
These videos on average reach around 1-10K views if you are a smaller channel or 100K-750K if you are a bigger channel, some videos reach over a million views, mainly only due to the cringe factor and the video being watched by a checkmarked YouTuber (100K subs or more).

Overall Verdict
These videos are so bad, they are good, it's kinda like watching a cheesy B-movie, but animated. I would recommend you to watch at least one of each category just to see how cheesy they can be.
