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.”
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.
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.

Before we criticize the zoomers let’s remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers
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’m almost twice as old as you and I thought the first one was funny.

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

We had salad fingers
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.
CoreyLaddo on YouTube. He’s a true SFM animator and a damn good one.
Speak for yourself. The only mod slop i consumed was Tribes and Unreal Tournament
Speak up please I can’t hear you over your creaking hips
I’m sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.
And also with context.
Can’t argue with that.
If I can go back to any of that and not be deeply mystified by our collective insanity, we weren’t trying hard enough
Even with context. The whole site was dedicated to hosting brainrot before brainrot was even a word.
Badger badger badger. Explain that shit to a boomer
I was going to mention ytmnd. Thank you.
Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?
