The Simpsons did it again? Labubu doll craze sparks demonic conspiracy fuelled by viral clip
The Labubu doll, once a niche collectible designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, has now exploded into the global fashion and fandom scene. Along with its skyrocketing prices and celebrity endorsements, the toy is now at the centre of an unsettling internet theory: that it is cursed, demonic and was predicted by The Simpsons. According to a Unilad report, Labubu dolls, created through a collaboration between Pop Mart and Lung, are based on his book series The Monsters, which features a tribe of female elf-like creatures. Known for their mischievous grins and exaggerated features, Labubus are now hot items in the Gen Z market. However, not everyone is thrilled. Some users on TikTok and Reddit have claimed that the dolls radiate 'dark energy,' and one even filmed themselves burning their Labubu doll, saying that the collectible was cursed with a demon that almost ruined their life. According to another Times of India report, fueling the paranoia is a resurfaced clip from The Simpsons' 2017 Treehouse of Horror episode, where Homer orders what he believes is pizza but receives a demonic Pazuzu statue instead. The possession of baby Maggie that follows in the episode has drawn eerie parallels to Labubu's rise. Although Labubu does not resemble Pazuzu physically, who, in mythology, has wings, a canine face and talons, the vibe, some say, is disturbingly similar. Fans, as per Unilad, were quick to link the two, with one user writing on X (formerly Twitter), 'Labubu = Pazuzu. Do not invite demons into your home.' Another noted that Homer from The Simpsons brought one home and it possessed him, and added Labubus give off the same energy. Labubu's transition from underground collectible to luxury status symbol, Unilad reported, only added fuel to the fire. Once a $10 novelty, some dolls now fetch thousands on resale platforms. This shift, combined with their uncanny aesthetic, has led many to believe their rise was too strange to be organic. The report added that a viral AI-generated image comparing Pazuzu to Labubu only deepened the frenzy. It prompted conspiracy theories about demonic symbolism and spiritual danger, with some self-proclaimed spiritual influencers warning followers to avoid the collectibles altogether. As per the Unilad report, Snopes, a debunking site, took a direct approach to the theory, claiming there is 'no evidence' Labubu is modelled after Pazuzu or shares any demonic connections with any characters. Snopes acknowledged that the toys poorly resemble the ancient Mesopotamian figure and that Kasing Lung references his own characters, not myth and folklore. But the internet was not having it. Even though meme-ification of fear is rampant, Labubu has morphed from plush to paranormal and now stands at a strange intersection of fashion, fandom, folklore and fear. Pazuzu is a demon from ancient Mesopotamian mythology, often associated with evil and chaos. Labubu is a toy that has gained sudden fame due to its resemblance to Pazuzu, sparking conspiracy theories about its origins and nature. The 666th episode of The Simpsons is titled "The Burns and the Bees." Labubu dolls, created through a collaboration between Pop Mart and Lung, are based on his book series The Monsters, but viral theories now claim it was inspired by Pazuzu demon.

After viral Labubu dolls, other accessories like Labubu bongs and outfits take over the market amid demonic Pazuzu allegations
What started as an adorable designer toy has now taken the wildest left turn in internet history. Labubu, yes, the creepy-cute elf-like creature from the Pop Mart universe, has gone from dangling on Gen Z's bags to being turned into actual bongs. And no, this is not satire. The internet has officially lost the plot. The viral Labubu pipeline: From dolls to… bongs? The obsession began with the viral Labubu bag charms. From fashion girls to stoner boys, everyone wanted one. Suddenly, reels were flooded with 'Labubu girl' energy, makeup looks inspired by the character, and #LabubuCheck haul videos. It was quirky, it was niche… until it was not. Now, the rabbit hole has deepened. Enter Labubu bongs, actual smoking devices shaped like this once-wholesome creature. And let us not even get started on the limited edition T-shirts where Labubu is literally attached as a plushie charm. It is not just merch anymore. It is a lifestyle. Internet's mixed reactions: Cute, cursed, or cult? While die-hard fans are screaming 'take my money,' others are begging the trend to stop. 'It went from kawaii to cursed real fast,' one user commented on a viral unboxing video of a Labubu bong. Another simply said, 'Labubu used to bring me joy. Now he haunts my dreams.' Even fashion influencers are styling full looks around Labubu now—oversized graphic tees, backpacks, phone charms, and yes, accessories for the bongs. Who needs a boyfriend when you have a full Labubu collection, apparently? Is this the peak or just the beginning? As Labubu dominates the alt-aesthetic corners of the internet, it begs the question, how far will this go? Are we getting Labubu crocs next? A Labubu-themed café? A Netflix horror-comedy spin-off? Nothing seems off-limits anymore in this timeline. But for now, brace yourselves. The Labubu wave is not crashing anytime soon, it is evolving, mutating, and infiltrating every inch of this generations culture. Welcome to the Labubu multiverse, you are either obsessed… or completely baffled.
