At 23:40 of Season 1, Episode 1 “The Bad Beginning, Part 1” from Netflix’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events”, the evil nemesis Count Olaf makes the Baudelaire children clean the toilets with toothbrushes.
The book, “The Bad Beginning” was written in 1999. Scientology’s, “The Hole” was started in 2004 and information about it and the practice of making RPFers clean toilets with toothbrushes became public in 2009. Netflix released this series in 2017.
So when I saw this scene I had to ask myself, “Has cleaning toilets with toothbrushes in the RPF become ingrained in popular culture?”
I am wondering if the toothbrush scene is in the original book or became a later addition in the making of this video? If it isn’t in the book then I think we can assume that the inspiration may have come from Scientology. If the inspiration for the use of toothbrushes was indeed taken from The Hole then could the series’ Character of Count Olaf be partially inspired by DM?
