We've all seen them: the short, looping videos, often with repetitive, slightly off-kilter Italian-themed audio and simple, almost nonsensical animations. They're affectionately (or perhaps despairingly) known as Italian Brainrot Clicker games, and they've taken over corners of the internet.

Is it the unexpected humor, the hypnotic repetition, or something else entirely that makes them so virally captivating?
