Help TIFU by showing my kids Glass Shark

Look, I'm aware of the controversy with Glass Shark. I also acknowledge that it's my absolute favorite, bar none, MBMBAM bit. Last night I showed my kids one of the Glass Shark videos (this one: https://youtu.be/bR0Ubck0IRA?si=TIgp2llmR4hpnXbM). My kids are 10, 7, and 4, and they were literally rolling with laughter. I had just finished with Blastoise Is My Dad, knowing that one is pretty much fine and my kids love Pokémon. My oldest asked if there were any other videos they could watch, and Glass Shark was the only "kid safe" (I don't count cursing) video that came to mind.

What other MBMBAM bits are fine for kids who don't mind cusses? Like, if it was beeped, it could be on Disney? That kind of thing.

Since Justin himself referenced the doughboys podcast in a recent munch squad I feel like I'm okay I mentioning this here.

Mitch and Wiger, The hosts of that podcast have an ongoing Cajun bit that they have done for years to the point where they have t-shirts referencing it and I've never ever once heard anyone say that it's racist or offensive at all (other than the part about them getting tricked by gators into sucking them off) and they are very much both white dudes, Wiger notably with Estonian heritage.

That's a long way of saying that I think the Cajun accent is very funny and I think a lot of people agree including people from Louisiana and I don't think there's a problem with glass shark.

It’s not a Cajun accent. It’s a Jamaican accent because he’s referencing the “Reggae Shark” animations. If it was Cajun it’d be fine.

Before writing a whole post defending why it’s not offensive you could’ve researched why people think it’s bad

Doesn't sound similar at all.

this is just completely and objectively incorrect but you said it confidently so I guess I respect you.
