Skibidi Toilet, the cartoon that last year made hundreds of children take to the streets on Halloween using camera and television costumes, started badly in 2024, as everything indicates that the series is being investigated by Russia. So if your son, younger brother, or an acquaintance dressed up as a TV, this information interests you, because according to the site Dexterto, the Russian police would be investigating the series for causing harm to the children who watch it.
After the animated series became a worldwide trend, accumulating between 30 and 60 million views on its episodes, a citizen of Moscow reported one of his videos. The reason that motivated the man to do so would be his concern about the type of content that is available to children because according to what he believed, the series could be harmful to minors. The complaint would have alerted the Russian authorities, which is why the police decided to carry out an exhaustive review of the episodes, according to several local media reports.
Not only the series is investigated, but also its creator, Alexey Gerasimov, because the authorities consider that the cartoon can become addictive, generate dependency on Internet consumption, and encourage violence in children.
What Is Skibidi Toilet, the Cartoon That Drove the Internet Crazy?
Skibidi Toilet is an animated series created by animator Alexey Gerasimov and broadcast through videos on the YouTube channel Dafuq!Boom!, which currently has more than 33 million subscribers. The cartoon tells the story of a war between the Skibidi Toilet, some gloomy characters with a toilet body and a human head; and the Cameramen, men with cameras for heads. However, as the episodes progress, the plot becomes increasingly dark, complex, and bizarre.
