In April, BuzzFeed reported that YouTube planned to keep creepy videos away from children with a team of actual humans who would hand-curate appropriate videos. The YouTube Kids app is a sort of an atonement for its previous lack of moderation. It shows that there's something still off about the content aimed at kids on YouTube. Although none of the Johny Johny videos are explicitly harmful toward children, they do present uncomfortable scenarios. Last year, Mashable reported that graphic, violent videos managed to slip past YouTube Kids' moderation and could be easily accessed by young kids. While kids behaving badly is a common theme in these videos, there's just something weird about a 3D-rendered child violating a talking fridge. When the refrigerator backs away from him and refuses his request for chocolate, Chiya forces the refrigerator open and chocolate bars spill from its shelves. The video takes a questionable turn at 1:32 when the fridge sees a character named Chiya approaching and hunches over, defeated. The fridge does so without any hesitation and hands over the snacks. The fridge appears to have no agency over the contents of its body: despite denying that it contains water, sauces, and ice cream, its human family members demand that it open its door. Instead of asking the refrigerator if it's eating sugar, various characters ask it for food and drinks. In the series produced by Billion Surprise Toys, the same channel whose dancing Johny video took over Twitter, Johny's family appears with a sentient refrigerator who inexplicably calls Johny's parents "Papa" and "Mommy." The sketch shows just how weird YouTube content for kids can be - many of the videos made for children are educational and have some sort of moral to pass on, but have perplexing ways of doing so. Since that tweet, Johny, Papa, and their fixation on sugar inspired memes about their strange storyline. Johny denies telling lies, so Papa orders Johny to open his mouth and then absolutely nails Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" footwork as he confronts his deceitful son.Ĭaught in the lie, Johny belts out in deranged laughter and lifts his hands, spinning around like he's performing some sort of playful demonic possession. When Johny denies eating sugar, Papa asks if he's "telling lies" while emphatically doing the wave. SEE ALSO: 'B*tch, I'm a Cow' is the summer bop taking over the internet with memes In the most shared version, a child with an absurdly large head sneaks out of bed to gorge on sugar cubes when his father - known only as "Papa" - sternly calls out "Johny" and breaks into a Gangnam Style-type dance. The nightmarish nursery rhyme went viral over the past week, drawing hundreds of thousands of new people into its lore. "Johny Johny Yes Papa" is probably one of the more terrible things to curse your timeline recently. The internet is invested in the tale of Johny, Papa, and their sugary deceit.
