# Uh Oh! You Found The Toothpaste!? A toothbrush minigame from the 2011 CBeebies Flash game Big and Small House went viral on TikTok in August 2022, after an eleven-year-old children's cartoon scene suddenly read as pure nightmare fuel to grown-up viewers. By September 2022, animators and Twitter artists were reworking Small's panicked chase around the bathroom into horror edits and fan art. ## Origin The Big and Small House Flash game went up on the CBeebies website in 2011, built around the BBC children's series Big and Small[3]. In the bathroom minigame, the player (as Big) has to brush Small's teeth five times while Small hops around the room, kicking off with the spoken line, "Uh oh! You found the toothpaste!? Let's get one thing clear, I can brush my teeth all by myself, okay?"[1][3]. CBeebies made the game and the characters; the meme itself has no single confirmed author. The earliest viral upload of the key snippet came from TikTok user goblina.jpg on August 25th, 2022, though the clip itself is lifted straight from the 2011 game[3]. - **Platform:** CBeebies Flash game (source) / TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview Uh Oh! You Found The Toothpaste!?, also known as Big And Small House Toothbrush Minigame, is a short scene from a CBeebies Flash game in which the character Small protests that he can brush his teeth by himself before Big chases him across the bathroom with a toothbrush[1]. Grown-up viewers rediscovered the clip in August 2022 and treated Small's wide-eyed panic as a horror scene, with the player cast as a monstrous intruder forcing an unwanted act[3]. Typical posts strip the minigame down to the key loop: Small's refusal line, then the frantic jumping as Big corners him[1]. Animators redraw the chase in sketchier, more frightening styles, while artists on Twitter lean into body horror and liminal bathroom imagery drawn from the game's flat CBeebies backgrounds[2]. ## How to Use Posts typically isolate the "Uh oh! You found the toothpaste!?" line and the chase that follows, then recontextualize it. A common convention is to redraw the scene in a horror style, treat Small as a trapped victim, or splice the audio over unrelated footage where someone is being cornered. Fan artists often keep the game's pastel bathroom intact and let the uncanny energy of the original visuals carry the joke. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Uh Oh!
