# Manbabies Virals A Skit from Kirk Johnson and Will Elliott Explores the Lives of Poop Machines By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-12-01 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manbabies-virals References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEKnloCyXn4&feature=player_embedded) 'Manbabies' is a hilarious (and slightly disturbing) short skit by Kirk Johnson and Will Elliott. The YouTube video has capitalized on the love of babies with their bizarre take on what it is like to be a baby. With superimposed faces on real baby bodies, both Johnson and Elliott discuss the state of the economy, baby Foot Locker and the size of their wee-wees. Who needs to have a real baby when you could just have the 'Manbabies' video? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Babies:** There is an opportunity for virtual baby services to be created that simulate the experience of having a baby without actually having one. - **Adult Baby Products:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create adult-sized versions of baby products such as diapers, cribs, and toys. - **Comedic Parenting Skits:** Creating more comedic parenting skits could be a trend to watch as audiences are often looking for humorous ways to explore and deal with the challenges of parenting. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Virtual Reality:** Virtual reality companies could capitalize on the trend of virtual babies by creating an experience that simulates the experience of having a baby without actually having one. - **Adult Baby Product Manufacturing:** A niche industry could emerge for companies that manufacture adult-sized baby products such as diapers, cribs, and toys. - **Entertainment:** Creating more comedic skits about parenting could create an opportunity for comedians and content creators to generate engagement and reach a broader audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Video Content Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skibidi-toilet.md) - [Robotic Baby Car Puppets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iruyo-intelligent-puppet.md) - [Cheeky Sports-Inspired Diaper Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huggies1.md) - [Humorous Parenting Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-pray-cry.md) - [Ninja-Themed Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-ninjas.md) - [Sustainable Baby-and-Mom Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pipette.md) - [Anthropomorphic Hair Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Spooky Infant Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-bello-and-beetlejuice.md)
