When I was growing up, this type of enthusiasm would have been beaten out of you by age 14.

If the Rockets flame out this season this will be the karmic explanation.

I'm not sure why people are clowning this... This is exactly how Gen-Z / Alpha is. They love this stuff.

No, they should be publicly executed, and the NBA should start a new franchise in their place. Give Philly a 2nd team. They wouldn't allow this.

It can make you a millionaire now though. I don't understand how anyone can find that entertaining but I do understand why people make such awful content like that.

They should get the 25/26 title right now by default.


Magic did the same with dogs, it is a cute idea but unnecessary

Considering all the stupid stuff gen z and gen alpha do, this is at least reasonable funny.

I got the impression this guy was a real estate agent. NBA fans that live in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Miami take notice. That house in Houston costs less than $1 million. I live an hour north of the city and my wife forced me to accept getting bent over because the house we bought was less than half a mile from the house I wanted, but the guard picket on the way added a ridiculous amount to the price. But even getting anally raped, you get a lot of house for a reasonable price in Houston.

Cats kill lots and lots of birds. Instead of relocating Rockets Silver should nuke Portland from orbit. It's the only way to be sure

I have no idea who that is.

He’s the most successful children’s program of the modern times. Dude made bank off videos and constant marketing and products. Super annoying, rarely educational, and unavoidable if you have kids between 2-5 years old. Side note: He once pooped on his friend trying to get a Harlem Shake video to go viral.

Is it worse than Teletabies, remember that ****? Some humans always had bad taste, even and especially at 5 years old, I hated that stuff so much.

It’s not worse, but it is more unavoidable. He over saturated the market. The original Blippi has replaced himself twice, there’s a spinoff (Meekah), he’s got multiple shows on YouTube and Netflix (sometimes it is just him, sometimes it is just Meekah, sometimes it is both of them), he’s got a Blippi clone that only plays video games, he’s got his own video games (and Video Game Blippi plays them), he’s in theme parks, toy aisles tend to have a bunch of his stuff, birthday decorations are common at many kids parties (my own kid’s to my disappointment). Years ago the rights to it sold to a larger kids programming company for $120M to give you an idea, and it’s only gotten bigger since then. As a parent, one of the worst parts is just how greedy it all feels. I’m not convinced the creator even cared about making good content for kids, rather he was just trying thing after thing in hopes of getting internet famous and just stumbled upon a character he could profit off. This feels very different from Ms Rachel (if you know so she is) who actually seems to want to put out stuff that helps childhood development.

Somehow I have never seen him, but I am not in English speaking country and I assume they do not dub this **** to other languages.

I looked it up. Currently dubbed in 20 languages. If you aren’t around kids, it luckily skips over algorithms. I didn’t know who he was, then the moment I had kids watching screens, I realized how big he was.
