  1. Links to news stories from...

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?!"

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 1 year ago

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

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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...

Snaake! It's a snaake! Oh, it's a snaake!

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah because cartoons never repeat a joke
