Is YouTube Kid's Star “Blippi” In The Toilet After A Video Of Him Pooping On His Naked Friend Resurfaces?
Children’s entertainer ‘Blippi’ AKA Stevin John is kind of a big deal; Between his three YouTube channels (Blippi, Blippi Toys, & Blippi Espanol) he’s got 11,302,192 subscribers and his videos have racked up BILLIONS of views.
Now he’s in the spotlight for a moment in time before all this… A time when he called himself “Steezy Grossman”, and it’s been brought to our attention by Katie Notopoulos, whose writing brought tears to my eyes on the subway this sunny, Valentine’s morning.
After a refresher on the popular Harlem Shake dance craze, she continues with Steezy’s version:
The entertainer then known as Steezy Grossman put his own spin on the meme: In “Harlem Shake Poop,” set in the interior of a sparse bathroom with a shower stall, you see him sitting on the toilet, pants down around his ankles. He’s wearing a tank top, sunglasses, and, for some reason, a bicycle helmet. He gently shrugs his shoulders, rolling his arms to the beat.
The beat drops, and suddenly the video cuts to Steezy standing sideways on top of the toilet seat, fully nude now except for the helmet and sunglasses.
On the floor, a friend — whose identity is not known — leans against the wall in a contorted shoulderstand, his head and neck on the floor, his hips in the air, his legs dangling down. He is also fully nude except for goggles and a swim cap. A black bar has been edited over his genitals, blocking out not just his penis and scrotum, but also the full taint and b-hole.
After a few seconds of dancing on the toilet, it happens. Steezy emits an explosive stream of shit, a cacophonous eruption that sends feces splattering across the room in a shotgun-like spray of poo pellets. Shit hits the wall, the glass shower door, the floor. And a sizable chunk hits its intended target: the spread-cheeked ass of his friend.
After searching far & wide for the original, all I could find were “reaction videos” to it.
You get the idea. The guy is great with chocolate stuff.
Overall, as someone in the #content game I respect the commitment. That takes a lotta guts. And protein. And if I were a parent I wouldn’t stop my kids from watching the stuff he puts out now… I agree with Notopoulos’s sentiment on the whole thing:
Gross? Sure. But what we have here is a consensual, nonsexual poop joke. No one got hurt; it’s not sexist or criminal or problematic; it’s just pure Jackass prank stupidity. If two adult men want to take a crap on each other for the sake of a viral video, I say god bless them.
Blippi’s reaction to the video resurfacing has seemed pretty calm & reasonable, and I don’t think this will be the end of him. As a side note, I will probably be calling taking a poop “shootin’ a Blippi” for the next several months.
Also, I can’t help but think about the person he pooped on in the video. I imagine them sitting in their cubicle at some big accounting firm, just sweating bullets.
Hang in there, sir. It’s gotta be shitty, but hopefully this passes without your identity being dumped out.
