      I mean, to be fair, the same can be said for this, too. Skibidi Toilets actually has a coherent plot and characters if you’re paying attention.

      I promise you, if you came across Charlie the Unicorn for the first time as an adult, you would describe it similarly.

        Okay let’s take a look and see what’s going on here. youtube search for "skibidi toilet’ holy shit episode 73 okay here’s a bunch of them in order watches the first few then skips around to get a feel for what’s going on

        No that’s nothing like Charlie the Unicorn. Charlie the Unicorn is pre-2008 cynicism from the same mold as The End of the World aka “H’okay, so”. It’s a Gen X joke that landed with Millennials. I think it’s closer to Jonti’s work, somewhere on the Weebl & Bob or Magical Trevor continuum, where you look at your friend and just say “badger badger badger” and they know to say “mushroom mushroom!” and everyone but the adults have a good laugh.

        Looks like we’ve got some SFM goofiness at the beginning with heads popping out of toilets singing a nonsense song, no telling if it’s something pre-existing that has been re-used or if it’s composed for this, skipping ahead it looks like it goes into “these are invading creatures we must eradicate” SCP creepypasta direction be cause of fucking course it does, this is either made for or made by the FNAF generation. I don’t know how old Matpat’s audience is anymore man, I turned around twice and my newborn niece is in middle school.
