The video features a distorted, clay-like character submerged in a bathtub. As the character "sings" or speaks in a warped, multi-layered voice, the visuals become increasingly frantic. The character eventually begins to dissolve or merge with the bathwater, accompanied by a bright, jarring transition and Stauber’s trademark upbeat-but-disturbing synth melodies. Key Themes and Style

: The video uses abrupt cuts, loud auditory spikes, and oversaturated colors. It mimics the feeling of a fever dream or a corrupted memory from an old VHS tape.

"bbbbath.mp4" (often stylized as ) is a surreal and unsettling short film by animator Jack Stauber , originally released on his social media platforms and YouTube in 2018. It is a prime example of his signature "VHS-pop" aesthetic, blending lo-fi claymation, distorted digital effects, and catchy yet eerie music. Overview of the Content

: There isn’t a clear narrative plot. Instead, it focuses on a singular, uncomfortable moment—a bath—and pushes it into a realm of physical and visual distortion. Cultural Impact

: Like much of Stauber’s work (e.g., OPAL or Baby Hotline ), the character design is intentionally grotesque and human-adjacent, triggering a sense of "wrongness" or "the uncanny."

Love it! I find it to be extremely fun, and I cannot wait till multiplayer's out!

A very unique twist to the survival game. I really enjoyed the game and got fairly high in level.

Really a great game, and great idea. i can't wait for multiplayers mode. 5/5
