Viral Gaming Toilet Chair Appears to Resurface Via Facebook Marketplace — Listed as in ‘Used’ Condition, for $500
The “Battle Bucket,” a viral homemade Fortnite gaming chair, has resurfaced on Facebook Marketplace for $500 and listed in “used” condition, reigniting attention to the internet oddity five years after its initial fame. Originally showcased in a now-deleted 2023 TikTok video by content creator @usecodelitty200iq, the unconventional contraption was designed to allow extended gaming sessions without bathroom breaks.
The Battle Bucket is a crude but memorable DIY creation consisting of a flip chair with a hole cut into the seat, positioned above an orange five-gallon Home Depot bucket. A curved length of piping is attached at the front of the seat, directing waste into the bucket below. The creator added a G Fuel sticker to the back, completing the absurdist gaming aesthetic.
The original video gained traction through its combination of humor and relatability within gaming communities, exemplifying the kind of ridiculous, gamer-focused content that thrives on social media. The creator’s straightforward explanation—that the device enabled him to play Fortnite extensively without interruptions—resonated with the community’s commitment to gaming and darker comedy.
The Facebook Marketplace listing suggests someone is either attempting to capitalize on the device’s viral fame or simply leveraging the internet’s memory of the original video. The resurfacing demonstrates how viral internet phenomena can occasionally translate into unexpected commercial opportunities, even years after initial prominence.
