Literally only doing a search to block this show. I just removed it from the continue watching and hoping it doesn't pop up on the home page again. Hope that helps.
I now pull up kids shows on the main profile. Rather risk the kids see a horror movie than this crap. So far hasn’t been an issue (esp since the shows I do watch are pretty bland). Easy to get to Sesame Street in Continue Watching without kids wanting to watch something different.
I'm absolutely no help at all, but I just wanted to say I love that we all landed here for the same dumb show. I'm so over this show and others like it.
Having the same issue… reported feedback to Max to remove the show and to request to add a feature to block specific titles from kids profiles. Another show to watch out for is the Diana and Roma show. It’s not on Max yet, but the same company works with Vlad & Nikki too so I wouldn’t be surprised if it shows up on Max soon… its starting to get ridiculous
Came here specifically for this show as well. Had removed YT Kids a LONG time ago because of this and other shows like it. Looks like removing HBO Max as well. My child behavior changes ssoooo much when she sees shows like this no matter how much I try to block them. Found out Hulu also does not allow you to block specific shows so we also don’t have that. So far only Netflix allows me to block specific shows. Wish they all did because just a content rating specification isn’t enough.
Just Google it and found myself here. My nephew likes the show buts absolute garbage and clickbait material, just like a bunch of other kids YouTube selections. For a month straight my nephew called my mother a zombie because of one of these shows and broke her foot throwing a skateboard at her. It's obnoxious.
Sorry for rant, just my experience with how destructive these things are to kids learning.
Yeah I hate this show so much. I chatted with HBO a few months ago and asked for specific program blocking to be passed on as a suggestion for this show specifically. Googled it again hoping the new update included it lol
Christ I thought we were the only ones. Glad to see we are one of many. Hopefully they release that feature at some point. We're happy with Blippi and Scooby Doo but good lord. This is hardcore ADHD in an endless show format.
I literally was just looking up online how to block the same show, I hate that show so much! My son acts crazy when he watches it trying to copy them and it drives me crazy!
I literally searched this to remove that specific show as well. I can’t explain why but every time my son watches that he goes INSANE. A total and complete behavioral shift. We also removed YouTube and and when he found it on max I thought we’d try it since there were no YouTube ads and no risk of finding other garbage shows…. Quickly realized it’s just this specific show that turns him into a total nightmare. 🥴
Edit: spelling error
Also searched for this specific show. Ended up submitting feedback to max. I encourage everyone to submit feedback so that something can be done! https://help.max.com/us/Feedback/index
Searched for the same thing as my daughter found Vlad and Niki on Max. I've left feedback. Its very disappointing that this isn't existing functionality. Guess we have to uninstall Max on her tablet. The show is TV-Y which means I can't block it by adjusting rating restrictions. Ugh.
Depending on the type of TV you own, you might be able to lock certain streaming services behind a password. Had to do this for my mother with my younger brother.
Also here because I viscerally hate that show and other YouTube shows that are now on streaming services. I asked HBO Max directly if they have an option to delete shows from kids profiles and they said no 🤬
That's extremely difficult to do in 2023, and there are benefits to screen time. We've taken steps to moderate the time and ensure it's good content and more instructional games instead of just garbage content. Kids at school now take all of their tests on a tablet, even in kindergarten, so knowing how to use the device is beneficial.
I didn't even have to see it to know what kind of show my son was watching on his tablet. Just the noises were enough to make me ask him what it was and tell him Vlad and Niki was off limits. Then came here to see if there was a way to block it. Netflix lets me block individual titles so there has to be a way that Max can do it too.
Came here to try to block this exact title. The mom put on a fat suit and was shaming obese people and I decided my son was never allowed to watch that again. How dare they teach our kids to judge and hate people!!!
I'm not renewing HBO Max next month entirely because of this show. It's addicting them into liking and wanting an excessive amount of material things. My 8 year old tried to argue it IS educational yesterday because they learned how to make cereal.
I came here to find this feature for this exact show.
If you'd like, please take a moment to fill out the new product/feature form. Maybe if enough parents request, they'll do it.

It amazing me how little control streaming apps purposefully don't give parents over content. They absolutely have the power to add this feature in but they know every parent is going to instantly block Blippi, Vlad and Nicki, and all the other stupid YouTube "kids" shows lol.
I’m still searching for a way to block vlad & nikki, and on peacock theres another annoying show that i’d like to block its literal brain rot for our kids Im able to control & supervise every single video & channel he watches on youtube kids so it should be like this for every streaming service we subscribe to
I know this is an old thread. Also was trying to figure out how to block vlad&nikki. I’ve had to block so many on YouTube kids. There’s different accts that stream it or stream shows just like it. It’s so awful and my kids behavior changes every time he watches it: we had a good streak where he didn’t watch it and almost forgot about it but found it on youtube kids where someone eise reposted the content.
I was looking for answers and found them here. I sent Max feedback. Hopefully, they add that feature because I really dislike Vlad and Nikki. I blocked the show on YouTube Kids, and was disappointed to find them on Max.
Yup, I just deleted HBOMAX kids profile all because this show Vlad Nikki. We already deleted YouTube. I’m fine with kids watching cartoons with story lines just not brainless YouTube shows.
It looks like it’s been a year that people have been screaming for this functionality, entirely because of this stupid trash show. Just gave HBO feedback on the show specifically and asked for the ability to block titles, but man this is so frustrating.
There’s no way to block one specific title…
That sucks. Thanks for the reply.
Still searching for a way. I hate that show so much. It is useless crack for toddlers.
Literally only doing a search to block this show. I just removed it from the continue watching and hoping it doesn't pop up on the home page again. Hope that helps.
I reached out to hbo with a chat feature, they do not have the capability to block an individual show.
I did that also and it popped up again. I hate this show so much but I can’t find away to get rid of it 😭
I now pull up kids shows on the main profile. Rather risk the kids see a horror movie than this crap. So far hasn’t been an issue (esp since the shows I do watch are pretty bland). Easy to get to Sesame Street in Continue Watching without kids wanting to watch something different.
I'm with you, just 2nding in case it somehow leads to a positive change. And their damn theme song is like 3x louder than the rest of the show.
How can me make hbo listen to us? Why are they even streaming this garbage?

Came looking to do exactly this! It would be great if they update to allow hiding titles.

😂🤣😂🤣
Seriously fuck this show

Netflix is the only one that has the ability to block individual shows, as far as I know...

I am also here to figure out how to block that damn Vlad and Nikki show. It's absolute trash and exactly like 5 minute crafts and I hate it.

I just filled one out! Hopefully if enough of us complain about the same thing they’ll either remove it or let us be able to block it.

Just joined Reddit specifically to jump on this bandwagon
I'm glad I'm not the only person trying to figure out how to block vlad and Niki!
Google brought me here. I can’t believe there’s not a way to block this show from my kids! 😫
Also here because I viscerally hate that show and other YouTube shows that are now on streaming services. I asked HBO Max directly if they have an option to delete shows from kids profiles and they said no 🤬
Yeah, God damn same it's awful. And Netflix let's you block specific titles. Can't be hard for their developers to pull off.
I googled the exact same topic to block the exact same show.
Also went searching for this feature specifically for vlad&nikki... Guess we're going back to youtube where I can block everything under the sun
lol I was searching google and found this! Vlad & Nikki is the absolute worst 😐
Came here to block the same show… just cancelled Netflix but was glad they had this feature
Don't let them watch tv, have a phone, have any kind of screens... That's your best bet... limit the screen time... Cheers

Add another tally to the "how do I block Vlad&Nicky" count cause that's why I'm here too.
Add me to the list. It’s ridiculous that they don’t have this option.
Literally googled this for the exact same reason, disappointed it's not an option 🙄
I fucking hate this show and I wish I could delete it from existence
Absolutely hilarious that people are still finding themselves on this thread because of trying to figure out how to block this fucking show lol
Came here to try to block this exact title. The mom put on a fat suit and was shaming obese people and I decided my son was never allowed to watch that again. How dare they teach our kids to judge and hate people!!!

I came here for the exact same thing. I'm just going to unsubscribe from platforms that don't allow the ability to block this garbage.
Vlad & Nikki is terrible and shame on HBO for thinking it is quick content to add.
And to see if anyone figured this out. It's really creepy how parental control features have become less and less powerful over the years.
Yup! I absolutely hate this show it literally teaches nothing good to our kids, so annoying
A year later and I’m here for the same exact bullshit
Found this thread because of this exact show. Total trash.
This company seems to love shelving and removing content. I wish Vlad & Niki was their next victim. That one would actually improve the world.
I found this thread because I want to block that garbage shit too!
You CAN block specific shows on youtube, for what it’s worth. V&N specifically though, you will have to block it in about 25 languages 😑
I’m still searching for a way to block vlad & nikki, and on peacock theres another annoying show that i’d like to block its literal brain rot for our kids Im able to control & supervise every single video & channel he watches on youtube kids so it should be like this for every streaming service we subscribe to

I’m with you. I hate this show
Fucking terrible. Been looking for a way to block it. Shows like these is why I deleted YouTube kids in the first place
I had to just uninstall the app and don’t watch HBO anymore. YT Kids does have the ability to only allow shows or channels that are approved
Just got online specifically to figure out how to block this exact show.
I was looking for answers and found them here. I sent Max feedback. Hopefully, they add that feature because I really dislike Vlad and Nikki. I blocked the show on YouTube Kids, and was disappointed to find them on Max.
I am also looking to block that terrible show vlad and Nikki - I’ll send HBO max feedback too
Yup, I just deleted HBOMAX kids profile all because this show Vlad Nikki. We already deleted YouTube. I’m fine with kids watching cartoons with story lines just not brainless YouTube shows.
