My summary: Skibidi Toilet is an absurdist arms race between the zombie-like skibidi toilets and the millitaristic cameramen, speakermen, and TVmen. Each side is developing technology to defeat the other, which will promptly gets countered in the next episode.

[@JayTohab]

[@eleanorspey5671]

Adding onto that, the rapid arms race between ‘media men’ and skibidis leads to an exponential rise in violence and spectical which ultimately leads to disinterest in viewers because the threats have become to big of a scale to be legitimate

[@Hammerheadcruiser]

The absurdist arms race was bizarrely fascinating, but once the camera men started winning too much it rapidly lost steam. It stopped being about the next counter, and became more about the characters. Except it's meant to be a shitpost, not a character piece.

[@theking167]

@@Hammerheadcruiserit’s started off as a shitpost but stopped being that after maybe the first few episodes. Then the creator had to slowly think off how to create a storyline out of this blizzard series which he didn’t expect to blow up and based on the last few episodes this series starts to rival a lot of other series in its quality from ep 67+

[@arandompersonontheinternet4201]

RTGame, I thank you for this comprehensive intertextual analysis of the Skibidi medium. In my opinion The Skibidi Toilet franchaise, in its surreal loquacity, represents a more modern mythos. It is uniquely chobblesome in its absurdity and indeed also strikingly profound in its portrayal of human exigencies. I find that beneath its seemingly nonsensical veneer lies a rather excogitative dialectical inquiry, or more accurately, a dialectical struggle within a particularly factious, binary universe: the kakistocratic Skibidi faction represents a chaotic thesis of irrepressible vitality, while the Cameraheads serve as the antithesis, embodying a sclerotic order perhaps imposed by pseudo-technocratic mode of governance (so I theorise). More importantly, however, the synthesis arises not as resolution but rather as a perpetual conflict, an ouroboric valse of resistance and control. But for what? Or, perhaps, for whom? In this question I find lies a contemplatory inverse deus ex machina, one of a rather ruminatory nature. Thanks to you, I will be pondering this moral quandary over many nights to come.

Genuinely? No meme? I am actually happy that someone like you made a video like this. For the longest time I've just been rejecting actually watching the skibidi toilet thing just because I didn't get it or just because I keep hearing people call it a "bad meme" or get tired of all the references to it by children and the brainrot. But that's me judging a whole series that's obviously pretty successful because of the words of others and not me forming my own opinions. Were it not for this video, showcasing the series with a genuine sort of analysis (and the feeling of watching with someone else) I possibly could've gone to my deathbed having never understood a thing, and frankly I still don't understand but I can acknowledge that genuine effort was put into this. The intrigue of the story may have fell off toward the end but I can also really commend the designs for the titans and toilets alike; and even little things like the plates over their flushers does show a lot of thought put into what has just been called brainrot, a lot was done with pre-made assets put together in ways that is really creative.

[@tofupenguin8827]

I think it's genuinely fascinating how common of an occurrence it is for youtube series like this to completely crumble the longer they go on. A constantly influx of characters and storylines that lead to a lot of the intrigue and worldbuilding to fall flat and a lack of follow-through on what the early parts set up. I've seen it dozens of times with all kinds of different methods of storytelling but they usually paint a similar picture. I think a lot of the loss in interest is caused by the fact that most people don't boot up a series like this with the intent of watching an action movie, they check it out to see the utterly insane story that comes when you use nothing but toilets and weird camera people. Suddenly there are these long-form battles all in the name of a self-insert god playing both sides, removing any of the speculation from the storytelling. Watching an arms race play out in real time is a lot more interesting than watching the culmination of that arms race be nothing but explosions, razor blades, rocket launchers, etc. Dumping everything that made your series what it is, no matter how insane, is a direct path to completely losing the essence of your own story. You can see this same phenomena in all kinds of other art forms. Part of me wants to go into a long-winded tangent about some examples of it I've seen, but I don't believe in my own ability to be clear or concise about it and the point would get lost in my ramblings. I mostly wanted to put my thoughts out there because even thought I don't think that this series is all that good, I think its combination of clever yet simple worldbuilding and silly recognizable character designs mixing with an utterly absurd premise is why it had that surge of popularity. To put it simply, the series quite literally is taking itself too seriously now.

[@theking167]

If the series didn’t take itself seriously the series would be long dead. Another meme which will come and go but the seriousness bad the fact it’s actually a series now and the recent eps(67-77) being actually very high quality and well done meant that people stuck around not for the fact it’s toilets and cameras but for the story, the action and the fact they are excited for the next plot lines.Every episode still gets 30 million views and the community has a active and dedicated community with a bright future for the franchise in general.

Skibidi Toilet haters, I *defy* you to tell me Dan and Kiwo didn't enjoy the series. It's not perfect and it's not high art, but it doesn't nearly deserve the seething contempt it's received and I will die on that hill, though as a 39-year-old I practically have one and a half feet in the grave already. Yeah, it starts out as simple puerile toilet humor, but it rapidly develops into something genuinely interesting, with creative worldbuilding, a simple but effective plot (which does fall flat at the end, but it's hardly unique in that respect) and characters that you can get invested in. Pretty impressive for something in this short format with no dialogue! Is it timeless literature that speaks to the very soul of man? No. But it has its charm-I love the silly emoticons the TV people have as faces-and if the series had had smartphones or something instead of toilets, it could still have been an internet phenomenon that people would generally look back fondly on in later decades, without being labeled brainrot.

I respect skibidi toilet fans tbh

[@SmileytheSmile]

Lol, now that I think about it, if the toilet people really were just phones instead of toilets and the rest was exactly the same, people would be more willing to call it high art, a metaphor for fighting off the internet brainrot or some shit.

During skibidi toilet 18, they talked about it being Attack on Titan. I think it’s more of a pacific rim situation where the camera headed people created mechs to defend themselves.

[@BitzyFin]

This definitely wasn't on my list of videos I'd see Dan do, but it's hilarious how seriously they're analysing this. I'm 32 and also really question wtf is skibidi toilet so I'm taking notes from Professor Drift King and their assistant, kiwo.

[@darkminerj]

It's not that kids find it funny it's entertainment like any other cultural phenomenon, for a while they were huddled talking about the latest skibidi toilet episode because it has so much lore And now it's transformed beyond the actual series into a meme word

[@Captain.Mystic]

After watching this, i wholeheartedly put forward the idea that if this was released anywhere outside of youtube shorts, nobody would have put nearly as much shit on it nor would kids be nearly as obsessed.

[@red_d849]

yeahh

[@YourRyeBread]

This was so bearable because you took the lore (lore?!) seriously 13:40 Garry's Mod was my first exposure and ive never even watched a youtuber play any of the half life series (born 2001)

[@DeXyfero]

you can see the light immediately leave his eyes after the first video starts lol

[@ceawesome3363]

Dan, RT, Drift King, we love you, but it’s gotten to your head you will be missed

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

We're less than 10 minutes in and Kiwo has sincerely asked the question, "Do children understand the lore of Skibidi Toilet?" That's how you know we've stumbled onto a good one.

[@TheZoombaBOI]

i like how skibidi toilet is just MGS with gmod and toilets.

[@prinzluc1410]

Mr Tumble, if the skibidy toilet series gets continued, will this analysis of the deep and intricant lore become a yearly chistmas tradition? The masses need to know!

[@duckfilms3662]

This is literally just standard gmod/sfm humor lol, I still dont understand why ppl are getting so worked up about it.

[@eleanorspey5671]

To be completely clear, having a literal cameraman as the narrative is really smart

[@wesleyward5901]

RT is the only person who could make me watch a 45 minute video of nothing but Skibid Toilet..

[@red_d849]

theres no one in the whole world that could keep me from killing myself before being forced to watch even 1 episode

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

The skibidi toilet series is in fact a complex yet subtle allegory of the Vietnam war. Subliminal messages to buy croissants are woven into every video. Merry Christmas Dan ❄❄❄❄

[@CadetRedShirt]

original title: I Studied 70 Episodes of Skibidi Toilet to try understand i'm excited to find out just how much this broke RT's brain

[@Falkflip]

What in the everlasting KZbin is this?? I genuinely thought, the whole skibidi thing was just "haha, funny toilet man sings stupid song", I am absolutely baffled to find out now that this is tied up in some futuristic warfare saga, what the absolute hell is going on??!

[@0N0B_0]

so like the gman toilet was part of this futuristic alien species called astro toilets. He did something that made them mad so they banished him down the earth and took away all his abilities and then he sung the skibidi song rotting human brains and turning them into skibidi toilets so the humans started turning themselves into hardware heads to combat the toilets. How much of this are you gonna read.

I can't believe he watched a show about the guy from Fortnite

[@VolkMate]

this is the closest rt is going to get to a tf2 video until 2030

[@DemianCorvus]

Here are my thoughts: Skibidi toilet is a metaphor in reference to virality of content in social media platforms (particulary KZbin). As the first clips become more viral, the skibidi toilets become more powerful and end up conquering the world. The camera people represent both the viewers and other types of media consumption in a war against KZbin brainrot virality. Like, music might distract younger generations away from brainrot like skibidi toilet, but then people start listening to it as well, and then TV ends up being too distracting and the viral videos fade away. I'm still halfway through the video at this point, but that's my observation so far.

[@SchmeckleTV]

I wanted to leave 5 minutes in but didn't want you to miss out on the retention. Now I know what skibidi toilet is and I can never undo that. Thanks, Daniel.

[@jaykemp2861]

RT pointing out that these newer episodes being longer but not being as interesting has lead me to realise that while the skibidi market has been exploding in both length and perceived value, nothing of actual value is being generated in terms of new characters and plot lines. How long will it take before the investors (children) catch on to this? I'm afraid we might be seeing a skibidi downturn or even a skibidi stock crash in the near future.

[@theking167]

Ep 70 is 10 months old and no downturn has occurred yet. Besides the main audience is actually teenagers now and not kids.

[@mxyzptplk]

i hate how enthralling this story has become. im only on skibidi 11 and i want to see where this goes edit: ok yeah exactly like rtgame said, it was interesting at first but the later parts started feeling like the act 3 of a mediocre marvel film.

[@kabliss4111]

I hate that It does actually get really good later on

[@sparklingwater925]

Yh like it's not good in any way but it does make you curious how it connects

They used to call him the Toilet King back in Skibidi

"regrets I've had afew, but then again too few to mention." Watching this is a big enough regret to mention all on it's own

[@simpIeidiot]

The fact he only went to 70 reminds me of the guy mining and giving up before getting the Minecraft diamonds (🤯) Remember, 99% of rizzlers quit before they become a real skibidimaxxer

[@rachelg8695]

Off topic, but Dan's fashion choices have been A+ lately. Black and purple look great on him

[@lukecoleman3643]

I've watched your channel for so long. I'm so sorry that you had to die like this, all those toilets... all that skibidi... You will be missed

I'm learning so much about my fellow highschool students' humor right now. Thank you RT and Kiwo.

[@ironicugandan5826]

I think it’s more about the copycats in terms of “kids find this funny”. Like Digital Circus, when it got popular it EXPLODED with content leeches.

I actually had to pause and go back on a couple occasions to make sure I didn't miss any of the lore. Surprisingly coherent worldbuilding early on, especially given the short durations free of exposition dumps

[@mikeepalabasan5996]

i usually can’t catch streams because i have work, but i was too morbidly curious to not miss it. i have left with a profound understanding of skibidi toilet lore.

[@DaKingKayden]
