Fidget Spinners are about as original as the insane crazes of Yo-Yos, Pogs, or Pokemon cards. The plastic spinning device that emerged this summer is nothing more than an overpriced piece of plastic. We know theyre supposed to combat fidgeting but they really dont do anything other than spin. And frankly we hope they spin straight into the fiery abyss of hell.

Wed like to be done with these spinning pieces of shit. Theyre a weird phenomenon that doesnt do anything and wed like to see literally anything replace the fidget spinner fad (bring back Pokmon GO).

We dont need to know if you spin bro, we dont want to see your tricked out spinners and we dont care about the difference between metal and plastic spinners. We just dont.

Luckily, Michael McCrudden has united with us in the Fidget Spinner resistance. His newest video breaks down the fidget spinner fad after it was famous. By looking at the stagnation of the spinner, McCrudden breaks down the short history of the ridiculous fad. Its not all fun and games either. The video shows that fidget spinners have infected YouTube , got stuck in peoples throats , and influenced porn searches.

While the toy is branded as relief from those suffering from ADHD, that research has been debunked . So, look, just watch McCruddens video and rally with us: Fidget Spinners need to die.
