Rogers, John wished to portray Blippi as educational but also as thinking and acting as a child would. Taking inspiration from children's educators and entertainers before him, such as Mr. The first Blippi video was published on January 27, 2014, with John starring as Blippi and doing all of the filming, editing and graphics himself on the initial videos. Blippi has been described as "an adult human man who dresses up in bright clothes and dances around America's deserted soft play centres for the benefit of YouTube". The idea for Blippi came to John after moving back to Ellensburg and witnessing his then two-year-old nephew viewing low-quality videos on YouTube. When the video was unearthed by BuzzFeed News in 2019, John said, "at the time, I thought this sort of thing was funny, but really it was stupid and tasteless, and I regret having ever done it." John used DMCA takedown notices to remove the video from social media and internet search engines. In a 2013 video, John performed the Harlem Shake on a toilet and defecated on a naked friend. John started making gross out videos in 2013 under the persona of Steezy Grossman.

May God bless these and all Marines and all who serve our nation and who serve those little ones who too often find themselves devalued by society and, in our boy's case, by his own family.Stevin W.
And thanks to KarmaTube for posting this video because it has given me this opportunity to share this story that needed to be told. I still would like to know your name(s) so that I can extend my gratitude and respect. If this story sounds familiar to any Marines who are reading this, please submit a comment with your name(s). I wish I knew the name of the young Marine who dropped off the truck so that he could be publicly acknowledged but, of course, he politely chose not to tell us. After all these many years I still tear up (like Khanna in her comment below) as I think about this incredible, selfless act of kindness for a boy with special needs whom they did not know. Of course, this was at a time before the internet and cell phones so this coordinated search took a lot of time and effort. Turns out that after the Marines had left, they sent word out to other Marines to go on a tri-state search for a toy garbage truck and one was finally located at a store in Delaware. What we did not expect is that one of these Marines would make an unannounced visit to our facility on Christmas Eve and that he would bring with him a toy garbage truck for our boy. When several young Marines visited and distributed Toys for Tots, our staff asked if they might possibly have a toy garbage truck for this boy and, as we expected, they did not. And, as it would happen, a toy garbage truck was the one and only item on his Christmas gift wish list. One of our boys, who had no involved family and who stayed at this facility even for holidays, was absolutely fascinated by the garbage truck that serviced our facility. at a residential care facility for boys with developmental disabilities. Back in 1989 when a garbage truck was virtually an unheard of or desired toy, I was working near Philadelphia, PA.
