This Russian cartoon about a little girl and a bear has 1 billion views and other episodes regularly get 9 digit views.
How?
It's a KGB trick!
Some of money laundering thing, probably?
Is there something that sets it apart from the other episodes?
That's weird
RT News Just in.
Putin is awesome and sexy and we all want to suck his dick
There's a lot of random things like that which get hundreds of millions of views yet no one seems to notice.
I've seen stuff like lullabies or that Pocoyo thing hit over 100m. My guess is they are very popular in places like South America and Eastern Europe.

Nothing that I can see. They're all pretty similar.
>>78337409
They show that garbage in the UK too, my Niece and nephew love it
>>78337409
bots. Or Indians became russiaboos
>>78337409
Because it's actually pretty cute. It has a nice slapstick Looney Toons quality to it that you don't see much in Western cartoons anymore. I'm not calling it great, but you can down three or four episodes in a shot like popcorn and enjoy yourself. That makes it a natural for YouTube viewing.
my niece loves it and she doesn't understand shit that masha is saying
>>78337409
Given that it's russians, I would guess it's a botnet to milk that adsense money.
>>78337418
FSB, and yes, it's a recognised tactic for bringing money into an economy from outside. No idea if Google AdSense is included in the current sanctions on Russia.
>>78337429
Not quite.
>>78337516
>>78337469
Or this.
Shows for small children will get a lot of views because at that age they love repetition. It's good for the parents because they can leave the video playlist looping while they do chores.
>>78337603
I didn't say it was bad, as I find it cute too. I was just baffled it managed to get this much views.
Shame. Pic related is a much better cartoon.
>>78337615
Russian sanctions are only targeting like 50 people. Some asshole with a botnet is not likely among them.
>>78337409
Kids do actually watch this.
My two year old nephew loves this and will always point it out when he sees it on the youtube suggestion list.
I've watched two episodes myself and it's pretty fun. It's like a less violent Looney Tunes.
I'm not sure how it got to a billion views, but I do know that the language barrier means nothing to kids.
I imagine that there are a million young kids out there, just randomly hitting refresh on these videos
>>78337672
I used to scoff at it but after taking a look it turned out to be surprisingly good.
There are many Russian shows (Cheburashka comes to mind as an example) that are quite popular in China, Japan, India and in many of the countries that were part of the old soviet block. You can probably easily find more than a billion peoples(with internet/tv access) in those countries combined, also since many of those countries media network have a limit on the numbers of foreign shows accepted into their schedules, so they tend to go with the series that have already passed the gov test and requirement (like the show of OP pic, which have been around since 2007, implied it has passed the test of whatever gov organization that act as these countries BS&P ), it make the whole process a lot easier for both side involved.
Hell, just to take that into consideration, did you know that the semi-final of 2011 cricket world cup between India and Pakistan got a total of 1 billion viewer, more than the actual final!
>>78337775
As a kid I really loved Cheburashka and Nu pogodi! Also that Japanese Cheburashka ain't half bad either.
But yeah if you combine those countries together, that many views don't seem out of the question.
This cartoon is named Marsha and the Bear in my country and it's very popular during its run, they had to air it everyday until its surpassing the source material
>>78337409
I was surprised to see it being played inside apartments for kids when I was in and out of people's homes for work. I guess because it's free.

My maid's three year old son loves to watch it, even if he doesn't understand a word. I think it is mostly the colors and the music.

You'd be surprised.
It's not just kids, middle aged russian housewives love it too.

The parents of a Cuban friend who came here as refugees told me once about this, there was even an episode of how it was OK to be hungry but not OK to complain about it, shit literally scary.

Here in Croatia Maša is the only example of russian media that is popular since I was a little kid. And there's everything - coloring books, stickers, picture books, DVD's etc. I think it's just something Americans weren't aware up until now.
From our perspective it seems baffling, but only briefly. Maša is cute, everything is nice and colorful and some mischief is always going on. Little kids love that and I'm sure you can understand why. It's really no big mystery.
The true mystery is why stuff like Teletubbies was so mega popular. That thing gives me the creeps and makes me believe in MKultra brainwashing/programming via media.
Also Slavs are everywhere. There's a whole lot of us. Maša can be a little Polish girl, a little Russian girl or a little Croatian girl by the virtue of our common heritage. She basically acts and feels like a little slavic girl, so kids identify with her. Even her modest clothes are something within living memory and can be seen worn by our old women.
The age of the Slav is upon you. Embrace it or perish.
>>78339134
You are ill-informed. "Maša" is a name very commonly used in russian media. There are probably thousands of cartoons that have a Maša.
>>78337429
It airs in my country and toddlers are fucking crazy about it though it's fucking terrible and extremely annoying. For me it's particularly irksome because the bear is a circus bear and we all know how cute animal abuse is.
Kids today eat up a lot of garbage.
>>78339340
Oh yeah, my niece love it.

No, thats it. Massa and the Bear is a Russian fairy tail or something like that, so there are many cartoons and movies of the tale.

What the fuck this is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Welcome to the wonderful world of youtube videos for children.
https://www.youtube.com/user/tutitutv/videos?sort=p&view=0&flow=grid
This is in fact one of the better made channels.
>>78339599
You misunderstood. Remember how those American 1950s style stuff always has a Timmy or Johnny? Same thing with Maša.
Here for instance you have an uber cute Maša from Soviet times. She has a few cartoons. Then there's other girls with the same name.

>>78337409
I imagine that nursery's and the like have them on a playlist loop of lullabies and inoffensive shows with no voice acting that any country can understand (The girl and bear one is actually a wonderfully well done one to it's credit).
These then just keep playing in multiple places around the globe, 24/7, slowly ticking up the view counts. Same goes with parents at home with kids, they stick a pre-set Youtube playlist on instead of the TV (If you have younger siblings, you probably remember a phase where they just watched the same thing over and over and over and over). That way, the parents control what is aired.
When it hits a high enough amount, people will just click it out of curiosity to see why it got so many views.
>>78337409
What about moose and squirrel?
>>78339473
Goddamn now I want to listen to the old O&A segment where Jimmy spends like 5 or 6 minutes going on about how much he hates bears.
Does anyone have that one video that explains why random videos just get 2m+ views out of nowhere? It was about like a Cars gameplay video that had way more views than every other video on some random guys channel

That Hulk looks like they ripped him from those really shitty porn games that use public domain CG monsters, put cylinders on them which they call dicks and then have those monsters fuck horribly rendered plasticy females.
