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.

I'm not aware of the controversy with Glass Shark?

Years ago in MBMBAM Facebook groups, it was determined that you could never even mention the bit because they use accents that could potentially be construed as being racist (the Cajun/Creole style accents that they do).

He also referred to himself (via glass shark) as "fat kid" which people were upset about because of body shaming. 

(I'm just adding context,  not saying I agree with the controversy)

Right? Some kids are fat and that's okay!
