        I’ve seen a number of people who I know for a fact enjoyed Salad Fingers 20 years ago just unthinkingly dunking on skibidi toilet

        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.

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

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

      I’m serious.
