But apparently they sell this bullshit in Walgreens. I heard about this thing. But wasn't it some YouTube craze or something? I mean what the hell is this? My kids laughed and would say this phase couple years ago, but didn't think it was mainstream enough to warrant this.

It's a good example of "show don't tell" storytelling. There's no dialogue (other than the toilet people singing the Skibidi song). But you see an escalation of conflict play out with multiple factions and returning characters. It's really well done. Some of the earliest ones are a little slower but they still help set the stage for what's going to come. I'd suggest checking it out, watching the first few isn't a big time sink.

Spoiler, for if you're on the fence or no chance of watchingOne of my favorite moments was one side attacking the other at a funeral service for the first victim of the war. It feels messy. It's not just like "har har silly toilet man pew pew."
