    First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh

    I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it

        The problem with happy tree friends is it was the same joke every single time. Like ok yeah, the juxtaposition is amusing but that's literally it

        Stickdeath and its seemless transition from slightly mask on racism to fully mask off racism after 9/11 hitler-detector

      Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

                There's some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.

              I hated it too.

              I'm getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said "this is banned in Cuba!" I was always disgusted by it despite liking "edgy" humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I'm struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs

            I have a soft spot for happy tree friends, I didn't have internet back then and people shared weird shit on CDs. That was my first contact with edgy humor like that

      Same, and I just thought it was the one video, but now after this post was made I've come to learn there is like hours worth of skibidi toilet videos and I'm blown away. This is no worse than rooster teeth red vs blue, arby n cheef, ytp, or any of the abridged series but as short form video. The kids are alright.

      skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now
