Well there’s half your problem right there. No one could live up to that standard even if they weren’t a gross PoopTuber.
Calling ANY YouTube celebrity “The Mr. Rogers of the 21st Century” is like calling someone “the Robert Frost of our time” because they posted some clever limericks on Twitter.
Well, to be fair, children definitely think poop is hilarious so the markets intersect
(I’m sorry.)
Also, am I the only one more bothered by the fact that he seems to be participant in the hyper-commodification of childrens’ attention than the disgusting fact that he once participated in scat porn as another character?
“meme video”
Trying to understand the mentality behind consensual shiting for a meme and joke.
As strange as this is to say, this is easier to understand if it were some form of porn. I really can’t grasp the why here and I don’t think I want to even try
That’s what the algorithm told him would net views. And this was before everything even mildly offensive to literally anyone got demonetized.
Ok, I give up.
We don’t get the youtube stars we need. We get the youtube stars we deserve.
i’m … i’m beginning to understand where the tide-pod thing started.
I’ve only watched two or three of his videos with my kids before I decided he was not something I wanted them to watch.
Mr. Rogers Neighborhood is a beautiful thing. What I saw of Blippi was nothing close.
I predict a huge future for him in NY real estate development.
You had me at “generate a formless, explosive hatred.”
I have a different takeaway: how much/how little freedom will future netizens have to change their minds after doing something stupid on the internet?
Will PeeWee Herman’s character never be divorced from the public indecency charge? Will porn stars ever be allowed serious roles in non-porn movies?
I don’t have any skin in this particular play of the game, no kids, never seen anything by this guy. But if the internet collectively forgot the original scat video, is the guys current version of success enough reason to bring it back?
Nope.
Wanna know why?
Because humans are an incredibly neurotic and judgmental species, always trying to ‘prove’ that we’re better than one another.
John takes an explosive diarrhea shit on his nude friend’s ass in a truly shocking rendition of the “Harlem Shake” meme.
I feel dirty, in a bad way dirty.
I guess he knew that he had a gift for entertaining kids
The unfortunate meme was totally unnecessary. There is a totally usable shitting scene that could have been grabbed from Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s film, Cemetery of Splendor.
Blippi indeed.
