Hey pal, I’m also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.

It’s actually really good! It’s a classic case of things getting popular and cringe fans. Undertale is another big example of this, at least the first few years it was out. I guess Minecraft too, at times.

That’s the journey I went on. The phrae “skibidi toilet” started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It’s SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.

I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”

It’s unironically one of my favorite examples of “show don’t tell” storytelling.

I keep thinking of Abe Simpson’s line about “I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.” It’s not weird and scary yet, but there’s a “huh, that’s different” factor.

I got the fact that it’s a SFM YouTube poop after I looked it up. I get why the kids like it and they keep making more. It’s all very cozy and internet.

What I don’t get is corpos trying to put skibidi toilet into things. I get why they’re doing, child money. But like how do you integrate something as abstract and absurd into your own IP? But like in a way that kids will still think it’s cool and not like dumb corpos trying to get on the bandwagon. Or maybe it’s not working and we’re just hearing about the attempts before they fail.

CoreyLaddo on YouTube. He’s a true SFM animator and a damn good one.

It’s filled w/ MTX that preys on young people’s sense of FOMO.

Oh, you’re talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don’t care one way or another about that.

I don’t hate Fortnite in and of itself, but I do really hate how because of its success, damn near all multiplayer FPS games have become some kind of Fortnite knock-off battle royale.

I mean atleast recently there haven’t been a lot of new battle Royale games. I haven’t seen a new big battle Royale game in a while, at most you get shooter games having a battle Royale game mode on top of the normal game modes they have.

Rot is an essential part of our digestive process, assuming rot just means biological processes converting food from one state to a generally less appetizing state.

I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.

Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.

I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don’t know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!

Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry’s Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.

It’s actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it’s their obsession with it that’s annoying moreso than the content.
