My 7-year-old won't stop watching these weird animated toilet videos and now he's drawing toilets everywhere. Like, I get that kids like silly stuff, but this is next level bizarre. His teacher asked why he's sketching bathroom fixtures during math time. I'm not even sure what's happening in these videos tbh. Anyone else dealing with this?
Kids are weird. My 7yo got obsessed with these too and yeah, started drawing them everywhere. It's silly but it passes. He's moved on to other things now. The content is genuinely harmless, just absurd. Let him have his weird interest.
I looked these up after my kid mentioned them and honestly they're fine. Weird? Yes. Concerning? Not really. Let him enjoy the bizarre toilet humor. Kids need weird sometimes.
The fact that it's created so much engagement - kids drawing it, talking about it, being obsessed - is actually genius content design, even if it seems ridiculous to us. It hits some weird comedy nerve for kids that we're just too old to understand.
Kids loved weird absurdist stuff forever - remember Pingu? This is just the modern version. It's not harmful, it's just bizarre. Let him watch it, let him draw toilets, it'll pass. His teacher will survive.
Skibidi Toilet is genuinely baffling to adult brains but kids think it's hilarious because it's absurd and has zero adults involved. The fact that he's drawing toilets in math is funny but also... maybe just let it be? Weird obsessions come and go. He'll be onto something else in 3 weeks.
Skibidi Toilet is genuinely bizarre but honestly kids have loved weird absurdist stuff forever. Remember when we were kids and watched weird stuff? This is just the modern version. The toilet drawings in math class are funny though lol.
The Skibidi Toilet obsession is so real with 7yos right now. The "toilet heads" character design is actually pretty creative from a weird animation standpoint. It's the kind of content that seems insane to us but kids find hilarious. I'd just let it ride unless he's ONLY watching it and ignoring homework.
Is he actually watching it constantly or is it just his current hyperfixation and everything's toilets right now? Because that's different from concerning. Kids go through weird phases. One of mine was obsessed with drawing nothing but feet for like a month. It passed.

I watched like 2 minutes of one of these videos because my 6yo wouldn't shut up about it. It's... surreal? Animated toilets with googly eyes, that's basically it. It's weird but not harmful, just stupid. The teacher asking about the toilet sketches is actually hilarious.
