      How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.

        Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it’s time for the geezers to look at it. 👴

        I’ll give it a watch.

          That’s the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it’s good.

            I have watched Skibidi Toilet - Season 1 [FULL SCREEN] my main thoughts are “cool use of source engine”, I then watched a random one and at least it has different content so i’ll watch some more of it later.

            For me the initial clip is a bit meh, but the world building of the random episode looks interesting.

              The lack of any dialogue kinda makes me feel like I have to pay attention otherwise I’d have no clue what’s going on.

              Yeah I initially wrote it off as absurdist source engine 2010 yup engineer videos. But there’s quite a bit more nuance than that.

        Isn’t it absurdist horror?

        These kids seem way more into horror than I’ve ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin’s kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.

      It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.

      I’m serious.
