WOOOOOOOO!!! (i don’t watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)
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.
It’s still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update
Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.
This video from tale foundry touches on this.
Let kids be kids, and enjoy their lore like we did when we were young. It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.
Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.
Before we criticize the zoomers let’s remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers
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.”
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.
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.
zoomers
Hey pal, don’t blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties
Hey pal, I’m also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.
I find it interesting that Gmod almost touching 20 yrs and sfm still relevant to this day, there is always that guy who animates memes on sfm.
Speak for yourself. The only mod slop i consumed was Tribes and Unreal Tournament
I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?
have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird
Isn’t it absurdist horror?
These kids seem way more into horror than I’ve ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin’s kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.
Nah, it’s a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.
Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?
Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it’s time for the geezers to look at it. 👴
I’ll give it a watch.
That’s the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it’s good.
How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.
It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.
I’m serious.
