I watched equally stupid stuff when I was a kid and I came out mostly fine.

...I think.

We had salad fingers and hamster in a blender, if all these kids have is heads in toilets I'm sure they'll be fine.

Having watched videos like Charlie the Unicorn or Badger Badger Badger, I say let the kids have their fun

"WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THAT?!"

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago

At least Skibidi Toilet does not contain jokes about "surprise buttsex"...

These videos aren't even new really. Source filmmaker videos have been a thing for like a decade. I remember GMOD idiot box was huge for a while

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Idiot Box was exactly the series I was thinking about when I made the comment!

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yes but no. Skibidi is way more repetitive, and that's what people are more concerned about

I've only watched a few of them, but they seem to have a vague story-arc at least. To me they just came across as old-school absurd internet humour like what we used to have 20+ years ago.

I once had a dream about a self improving race of robots that started small and ended in a hellscape similar to this. People would (rightfully) find this series less stupid if it wasn't about toilets.

"Badger badger badger" isn't repetitive at all...

Yeah because cartoons never repeat a joke
