Skibidi Toilet is a machinima web series of YouTube videos and shorts created by Alexey Gerasimov and uploaded on his YouTube channel DaFuq!?Boom!. Produced using Source Filmmaker, the series follows a fictional war between human-headed toilets and humanoid characters with electronic devices for heads.

Just a web series that’s popular with kids, came out around Feb of 2023, I’m not sure which came first, the term or the series.

The series. The term originated from the series because the toilets sing that “skibidi bum bum oh yes yes” constantly. The toilets are bad and destroying life, hence skibidi is slang for really bad.

Source: have 10 year old and I remember when this all started.

There is nothing fake about this. There was an actual DMCA request, but it has been resolved:

And there are indeed movie talks:

Is it really any wonder that anything that is popular and can be converted to money will eventually be exploited? I think not.
