    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.

      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

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

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

    Now, investigators are being tasked with watching the 70 current episodes of the epic battles between toilets and humanoid machines in Garry’s Mod

    Those officers would probably prefer to be at the frontline right now.

      I dunno, I binged the show a few weeks ago to see what it was all about. It’s like 1 minute an “episode”. Remove the toilets and it’s about a war between two sides who build bigger and bigger robots to fight.

      Pretty cool animation and interesting world building. I’d do it again if I was paid.

    I bet Steven Segal is mad that a series about toilets has had a bigger cultural impact than any of his movies in the last 10 years.

    These comments all reveal such a quaint childhood y’all had. If Russians tapped into my groups stuff, they’re have to search up “Blue Waffle”, “Lemon Party” and of course the classic, “Two Girls One Cup”.

    Go on, search it up. Especially you, Russia.

    (Full disclaimer, I also had Badger Badger Badger, Charlie Mountain, and all the great things on ol’ NewGrounds. The kids are alright.)

    Should I be worried that Russia has time to devote to this of all things? :-P

    Then again, anyone who has watched it knows exactly how dangerous it is - it shows people cooperating, even (gasp) helping one another, a dangerous idea indeed! :-D

      Russia only has time for warmongering, propaganda, and more warmongering. This probably falls under propaganda, just in a “youre not endorsing glorious Motherland? SUSPICIOUZ…” sorta way

        That’s a good point actually. Never underestimate the power of a good saber rattle, I suppose? Also, they can’t show the enemy how tough they are (not) on the battlefield, thus it makes sense to start terrorizing little children next, who are so very traitorous as to be (checks notes) watching YouTube cartoons. Yeesh :-(.

    Late to the game, but I bet they’re just in sheer disbelief on what those toilets on the screen are capable of! I bet they are eyeing the village toilet very distrustingly
