How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It would be easier to count the character skins that are NOT in Fortnite.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 16 hours ago

I'm more surprised that it wasn't already there.

[–] monke@lemmy.cafe 4 points 18 hours ago

We got skibidi toilet fortnite before GTA 6.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago
[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago

Yeah they have everything, that’s the idea.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Because it reminds them that they are an old now.

[–] Woht24@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

No, it's the children who are wrong.

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

I just wonder if Valve is getting paid for its assets.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

People are just tired of brain rot in general

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

And yet we all fiended for a new reddit. Sometimes rot is good, it makes alcohol after all.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Fortnite was already fucking stupid 🤷‍♂️

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I asked a seven-year-old girl why he's in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You're welcome.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Thank her for me

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.

[–] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Before we criticize the zoomers let's remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

zoomers

Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I’m almost twice as old as you and I thought the first one was funny.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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."

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I'm sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Can't argue with that.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

I was going to mention ytmnd. Thank you.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Badger badger badger. Explain that shit to a boomer

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago

Even with context. The whole site was dedicated to hosting brainrot before brainrot was even a word.

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.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

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