Here’s An Internet Fact!, LOL!
- The implementation of COPPA on YouTube has had this effect on specific videos. Since the system is automatic, most videos that feature animated characters and puppets, regardless of if it's aimed at adults or is a parody of the show in question, will get flagged as being "for kids". And sometimes, certain keywords in video title that relate to topics specific to kids will cause weird events to happen. One particular instance happened with an upload of a clip from the Animaniacs episode "Potty Emergency". The show is for children in the first place, so the clip being flagged was understandable. But since the video had the word "potty" in the title, most of the related videos were kids' videos about toilet training, despite the episode being about Wakko trying to find a place to pee when he really needs to go, not him learning to use the bathroom.
