I was babysitting my 7-year-old cousin last month, and she insisted we watch this "super friendly" show she found. It started with a fuzzy purple host singing about sharing, just like Barney. Then halfway through the sing-along, he snapped. She screamed so loud the neighbors knocked. Now seeing this Buddy take that killer kids’ host premise to an unhinged conclusion hits way too close to home. Nostalgic show staples twisted into deranged horror isn’t just a funny gimmick. It’s why I still bring her extra gummy bears every time I visit.
