      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.

        Nah, it’s a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.

        Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?

      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.
