This viral Jabba the Hutt video is as deeply enjoyable as it is weird
There often appears to be neither rhyme nor reason why certain videos go viral on social media. What exactly is it about the following video of a Jabba the Hutt toy being filled with water which made it so popular?
We’ll let the psychologists ponder that one, but there’s certainly no doubting that it’s a strangely gripping video and we’ve watched it a few times now.
It was originally posted by sharkboysam on Instagram and then shared on Twitter/X by Andrew Woods.
Here we go…

We just don’t know why we (and everyone else) like it so much!
Maybe we can find an answer in the replies.

The part where he puts the scissors in makes me feel bad for a moment, even though I know it's not a living thing.

Still no answers. Oh well – we’ll just have to watch it again.
