Skibidi Toilet is a machinima web series released through KZbin videos and shorts, created by Alexey Gerasimov and uploaded on his KZbin channel DaFuq!?Boom!. Produced using Source Filmmaker, the series follows a fictional war between human-headed toilets and humanoid characters with electronic devices for heads. Since the first short was posted in February 2023, Skibidi Toilet has become viral as an internet meme across various social media platforms, particularly among Generation Alpha. Many commentators saw their embracement of the series as Generation Alpha's first development of a unique internet culture. Plot The series depicts a conflict between singing human-headed toilets-the titular "Skibidi Toilets"-and humanoids with CCTV cameras, speakers, and televisions in place of their heads. The Skibidi Toilets, led by "G-Toilet", overtake humanity. Warfare soon develops between the toilets and the alliance of Cameramen and Speakermen. Each kind of the alliance has a colossal version of themselves, termed "Titans". The Titan Speakerman is infected with a mind-control parasite developed by the toilets' second-in-command and chief strategist, "Scientist Toilet", causing the Titan Speakerman turn on the alliance. The alliance is expanded to include a species of TV-headed humanoids, and, with their help, Titan Speakerman is eventually cured. As the military of both sides continue to advance technologically, the Titans attempt to hunt down G-Toilet. Though their combined powers are occasionally a match for his abilities, intervention by his legions each time allow him to escape. After a strike mission on the toilets' secret underground laboratory, the Scientist Toilet is finally defeated, but only one member of the team survives, a speakerman called Plungerman. Having met a mysterious human seemingly involved in the creation of the toilets, the Plungerman is assassinated as a loose end. Meanwhile, fractures between the Skibidi Toilets and the "Astro Toilets", a mysterious splinter faction of powerful extraterrestrial toilets, erupt into violence, and the alliance and Skibidi Toilets enter into a makeshift alliance against their common enemy. Characteristics The show contains references to video games, such G-Toilet having the face of a character from the Half-Life video game series. The Speakermen's oft-performed dances are from the battle royale game Fortnite.[1] Business Insider described the series as "an endless arms race as both the toilets and their foes [produce] stronger fighters".[2] Technology website Wired credited the largely dialogue-free nature of the show for removing language barriers and aiding in the show's global popularity.[3] History Skibidi Toilet is produced by Alexey Gerasimov (Russian: Алексей Герасимов, born 1997 or 1998),[1] who is also known by his alias "Blugray", or the name of his KZbin channel, "DaFuq!?Boom!"[4][5] Since 2014, he has been learning animation on his own. He lives in the country of Georgia.[note 1] His channel has seen prior hits; his video I'M AT DIP accumulated over 45 million views by July 2023, for example.[4] The first episode was released on 7 February 2023 (UTC), with an 11-second runtime.[15] Every episode is produced using Source Filmmaker, a free Valve-published 3D computer graphics software, often used to create and edit clips and movies online.[7] Some assets used in the series are taken from video games such as Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source.[6] The Skibidi Toilet in the first episode, for example, features the head model of a Civilian (Male_07) from Half-Life 2 (pictured above).[16] An unlicensed[8] mashup of the songs "Give It to Me" by Timbaland[1] and "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Bulgarian artist Biser King,[14] created by TikTok user @doombreaker03,[17] appears in early episode as the theme of the Skibidi Toilets, and is later invoked as their battle cry.[1] In 2024, the two songs' label Universal Music Group has issued copyright takedowns on the full version of the mashup, resulting in some videos featuring the mashup to be taken down.[8] "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears is featured in some videos as the theme of the resistance forces.[2] The aforementioned mashup is not original; in 2022, Turkish @yasincengiz38 popularized the mashup with his videos of him dancing to the song.[12][7] TikTok user Paryss Bryanne parodied this meme, complementing it with her style of jerky acting with rapid cuts. Gerasimov cites her adaptation as one of the inspirations for Skibidi Toilet.[6] Gerasimov shared in a Forbes interview that another inspiration comes from his recurring nightmares of toilets.[3][18] Ultimately, Gerasimov said that Skibidi Toilet's backbone is the other machinima videos created using sandbox game Garry's Mod, which were popular in the late 2000s and number in thousands.[3] In the early days, Gerasimov uploaded at least two videos weekly, and at times, even daily,[3] though the spacing between episodes has since been extended to improve quality,[10] with as well as increase in video lengths. Since KZbin's recommendation algorithm tend to prefer frequent uploaders, the initial upload schedule may have helped the show go viral.[15] As of January 2024, the series is reportedly being investigated by the Russian police for its alleged harm to children, following a report made by a Moscow resident.[10][19] In April 2024, the videos were presented to the legislative assembly of Saint Petersburg as demonstration in an annual children's safety report.[3] Reception and influence Popularity Skibidi Toilet's audience is predominantly among Generation Alpha, those born after the early 2010s. While the series does not appear on KZbin Kids, an app designed for children under the age of 13, it still enjoys popularity among elementary school students.[1] Some members of older generations have labelled the show "brain rot",[20] while other internet users argued Generation Z had their share of bizarre memes.[21] Skibidi Toilet has sparked its audience to create fanworks, such as games, fan fiction, and art,[1] as well as the Generation Alpha slang "skibidi", which has no established definition.[22] The series has found its way into internet memes and Instagram videos.[1] For example, one TikTok meme nonsensically swaps some words in song lyrics with Generation Alpha slang, including skibidi, for a humorous effect.[23] Skibidi Toilet cosplayers during the Corso de Corsos [es] celebration of Cochabamba Fans have expanded on the show's lore by making analysis videos and commenting their fan theories in KZbin's comment section.[3] There are Skibidi Toilet games in game platform Roblox, with the two largest games attracting millions of players each month.[5] Monthly viewcount comparison with other popular KZbinrs[note 2] from the Variety magazine[15] In 2021, DaFuq!?Boom! had around one million subscribers.[15] By November 2023, KZbin videos associated with Skibidi Toilet had accumulated over 65 billion views, while on the social media platform TikTok, the #skibiditoilet hashtag garnered over 15.3 billion views,[1] later growing to 23 billion views by July 2024.[15] In December 2023, the channel DaFuq!?Boom! had amassed 37 million subscribers, experiencing rapid growth that, on occasion, had surpassed growth of MrBeast, the most subscribed channel on KZbin. The Washington Post went as far as to call it "the biggest online phenomenon of the year".[1] According to Tubefilter rankings, by the end of April 2023, DaFuq!?Boom! entered the fifty most viewed KZbin channels in the US, at 33rd place. By June, the channel had gained five billion views, making it the most viewed KZbin channel in US during that month.[24] In July 24, 2024, the channel had 17 billion total views, with 16.3 billion coming during February 2023 to June 2024. However, the channel's viewcount has since declined, with it achieving 374.1 million views in May 2024, compared to billions in 2023 months.[15] Tubefilter's editor Sam Gutelle noted that previously, the channel existed largely under the radar, except for a few "animation diehards in the meme community".[24] The Daily Dot's offshoot publication Passionfruit suspected the popularity of the series was due to how the "designs combined a simple, cute style with more uncanny elements", citing other popular characters like Sans and Siren Head.[17] Skibidi Toilet was referenced on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, with a short parody animation depicting US President Joe Biden as a Skibidi Toilet, dubbed "Skibidi Biden". Kotaku called the joke "the worst thing Stephen Colbert's ever done".[25] Critical reception The lifestyle magazine Dazed characterized Skibidi Toilet as "frenetic, unpredictable, funny and at times genuinely unsettling."[7]
