I think there's definitely a qualitative difference, though. Salad fingers, at least, had better quality "stories", and the weirdness was less "basic." Skibidi

I think there's definitely a qualitative difference, though. Salad fingers, at least, had better quality "stories", and the weirdness was less "basic." Skibidi Toilet is an excellent representation of the hyper-ADHD-ification of kids due to rapid-fire content consumption brought on by newer social media platforms.
- wayfinder 3y agoTbh this kind of sounds like that old man saying music in the 80s was the best and it’s never been good since.
- sidlls 3y agoAnd this sounds like a convenient way to dismiss criticism/comparisons of new vs old. Not every such thing is an old man raging at change he doesn't understand. Sometimes there actually is some merit to the criticism.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoBut not here. Skibidi toilet has a plot and themes.
- sidlls 3y agoI never wrote or implied that Skibidi Toilet doesn't have a plot or themes.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoI never wrote or implied you did.

- blackshaw 3y agoBut is that old man wrong?
- hypertele-Xii 3y agoThat's both sexist and ageist. Old men's opinions are deserving of consideration as any other.
- 5ADBEEF 3y agoI’ve watched all of the skibidi toilet episodes. It’s really the same as 2000s or 2010s gmod YouTube poop, it just managed to find a larger audience.
- mardifoufs 3y agoI'm a bit younger than the average commenter here, but not young enough to be in the "skibidi toilet" demographic. But looking at both skibidi and the older type of YTP and idk the talking orange videos for example, I just don't see the difference. Maybe it's because I was too young to grow up watching them a lot but yeah. And that's saying nothing of the much more ADHD type of videos that were also common back then.
- krapp 3y agoYeah, a better comparison would be between Salad Fingers and something like Don't Hug Me I'm Scared or Local 58.
- anigbrowl 3y agoReally? I think it's pretty smart and funny, despite being in my 50s. Y'all need more Ma-Ma-Max Headroom in your lives.
- sidlls 3y agoI was there for Max Headroom. Wasn’t impressed by it.
- mid-kid 3y agoasdfmovie is from, like, 2010

- matrix87 3y ago> had better quality "stories", and the weirdness was less "basic. I don't think the basicness is unintentional. It's like it's making fun of action movies for being excessively loud and violent

- sureglymop 3y agoWhy did you have to mention ADHD? It has nothing to do with ADHD... As someone honestly struggling with severe ADHD for years, it's as if you told a disabled person that the latest new movie is not a great watch because it makes whoever watches it disabled.
